I had the chance to try the new HTC HD and was amazed with its screen sensitivity compared to the Omnia (my ROM is DHH3 with SPB Plus Smart-scrolling activated)
Its Super easy to scroll the Internet pages and emails and the program menu in the HD. As far as I understand its only about software setting as both devices have the same version of the operating system WM 6.1 I have searched the forum and even google for how to increase Omnia screen sensitivity but couldn't find any software or .cab that can fix the problem, only re-calibration of the screen with sharp objects which seems to do a little help So what do you guys think??

The Omnia screen sucks in term of sensitivity, and I'm afraid nobody can help it. A proper calibration can help, of course, but it won't change the hardware.
There isn't any sensitivity setting unlike the HTC (through registry if I remember correctly), or, at least, none has been found yet. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong somewhere. -------------------- Unlocked Samsung SGH-i900

Sure its 5mp, but if the object is moving faster then 1cm/year the picture is a blurr.
Omnias camera is also 5mp |

Omnia's video is far more better than HD's with resolution and bitrate. And the faster processor of Omnia improves camera performance. :off HD is more sensitive than Omnia and there's nothing we can do. Anyway replacing Omnia with HD isn't really smart decession. |

MY SCREEN IS ALMOST TOOO SENSITIVE!!
this is what worked for me: Improve Screen Calibration 1. Open your Registry Editor(PHM Registry Editor) 2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/HARDWARE/DEVICEMAP/TOUCH/ 3. Click on CalibrationData 4. Value Data change to > 519,503 177,881 182,129 847,127 849,872 5. Click OK to save it. You may also wish to copy down the old data before you input the new one. My OLD Value Data was 505,512 172,875 163,147 846,148 829,876 and yours might be different a bit. |

Buy yourselt a HD, but remember, you have been advised Ill say it like this: If you do not intend to use the camera, buy the HD.

The question wasn't about the better device. It was asking if there was a way to increase screen sensitivity. So, if you don't know a way to do that, why bother to reply? (Respect people's decisions, please...) By the way, calibration and sensitivity are close and related, but not the same thing. The HD screen reads your finger position on screen, without requiring that much pressure to be applied. Calibration cannot correct that. Instead, a better calibration would give you more positive matches, between the point you physically touch and the point your device calculates and understands... So, please people... There might be problems which cannot be solved. It doesn't mean we all would dump our devices and go shopping everytime. |

Emre, I have both smartphones at home (in fact we have my wife´s IPhone 3G also), and I was just telling my opinion after using HD and Omnia for some days. I was not asking for advise but giving a different point of view for those who intend buying a smartphone. Back to the point of the original post, for those who didn´t have a chance to use both smartphones: screen sensitivity of HD is much (I mean much !) better than Omnia. |

Those are the calibration values (the stuff you set when you align the screen); shouldn't have any effect on the battery.
Thanks. The values work great here too. |
