I have an issue with my DHD touch screen, and before i return it, I thought I'd see if anyone else has the same issue.

When dragging horizontaly, the image speeds up the slows down. It's hard to explain so i've posted a video. Up/down scrolling is fine.

Notice what happens when I draw a diagonal in a paint program. Am I the only one with this issue?

my legend did this to, but i think in the case of the DHD is that the effect would be amplified somewhat because its moving more cause the screen is larger with the same amount of pixels hence the scroll distance in pixels is the same only its moving over a greater area making it more obvious than on smaller screen phones

but for the most part most capacitive screens have this.

If this is meant to be normal behaviour, then it's very dissapointing. This is my second phone with a capacitive screen, the other being a HTC HD2.

The HD2 doesn't do this, either in winmo 6.5 or Android.

Damn, what a setback :mad:

I was so going to buy DHD but this makes me reconsider.

Maybe I should wait until 8th November when samsung relases a new android device :rolleyes:

The side-to-side scrolling looks like its related to the elastic recoil effect on homescreen scrolling - try in something with the elastic effect, is it the same?

i dont think they will release a new device. they will probably just annouce one for the upcoming 1 month or 2 " much like HTC does"

the only company that annouce something and release it the next week or so is apple. and i dont see samsung doing this.

id hardly say apple does a good job at this when iphone 4 came out some store only had 1 or 2 units sure they can say its available but personally id say its misleading when there are people lining up for them

I'm trying this on HD2 with DHD rom .. it seems it does not do it .. is there some drawing app ? Drawing diagonal lines usually shows this problem.

Try 'finger paint', free in the market.

I emailed HTC and got a garbled broken English reply, telling me to return my phone to the retailer for an exchange. If all DHDs are the same, there's no point. But if some are worse than others, I may consider it.

    I blame the consumers and our greed for constant technological advances.

    In reality, the screen only exhibits this behaviour when scrolling very sloooowwwllyyyy...... If you draw the same line in fingerpaint or whatever at a faster speed guess what? You get a perfectly straight line.

    This symptom has been affecting and will continue to affect touch panels for some time now, probably other phones that you've owned exhibited this behaviour but you never knew about it, because it wasn't brought to your attention. If it bothers you so much, there are many other phones out there, no one is forcing you to buy this one, but remember this, any other phone will most likely exhibit similar behaviour. It may be better or worse, but hey, the grass is always greener right!?

    I for one will continue to be happy with the best multimedia device/phone that I have ever had.

    Just my two peneth for anyone who gives a damn.

    Well, T-mo UK kindly swapped my DHD this morning. Alas, the new one is more or less the same.

    Even my daughters cheap tmo Pulse is loads more accurate than my expensive Desire HD. I'm sure HTC could fix this with a software patch.
