Can someone tell me what is the multitouch capability of the G Tablet? I'm thinking of buying it as it is the cheapest Tegra 2 tablet, but I'm not so sure about the multitouch. Is it 2-point multitouch or 5 point? If someone with the tablet would be so kind to just download like Multitouch Test from the Market and see how many fingers the tablet supports.
2-point.....

Is this a hardware or software limitation?
Thanks!
Just so your aware. On my gtab multitouch is only reliable when the two points are not on the same x or y axis. When zooming in for example it is necessary to pinch diagonally or else nothing happens. Other have claimed this is not an issue on their gtabs, but this has been an issue for across several roms.

Difficult to say. The kernel only gets the data for 2 (simultaneous) touchpoints from the ATmega168 microcontroller that the actual touchscreen sensors (2 Pixcir Tango 32C sensor chips) are connected to.
Can the ATmega168 uC be reprogrammed to send more than 2 simultaneous touches to the kernel? Can't say.
Do the Pixcir Tango 32C sensor chips register more than 2 fingers at the same time. Yes, very probably.
Whatever the case, you'll need a ATmega168 programmer and all the chip-specific datasheets to make it happen.

Hero support up to 2 points, and the performance seems not so smooth as iphone, and the focus will shift!
Everyone could test your screen with Multi-touch Vis Test that download from market.
i9000 support up to 5 points!
who can solve this problem?
I'm going to assume it's a hardware limitation, which will never be fixed. Multi-touch on my Hero is and has always been weird.
thanks.````````````````````
Hardware limitation. It's not proper multi touch - it's a form of dual touch, but it only recognises the first finger position and the distance of the two fingers, as opposed to proper co-ordinates.
Moved to Q&A
I know dual touch has been enabled on the x10. But, just out of curiosity, is there a way to get more than 2 points to pick up on the x10?

No, sadly we cannot have more than 2 points. The x10's screen is hardware capable of maximum 2 points, that's why it's called dual touch, and we have pinch to zoom because it requires only 2 fingers. 3 or more points mess up the axis. Practically X10 doesn't have multi touch, but dual touch. And it will never have more than dual touch, it's not because of the rom, or version of android, it's because it's hardware limited.
Hope i explained you ok.
It's the digitizer on the x10 it can only recognize two points simultaneously, and even with only two it's glitchy....
I thought that was the case just wondering, cause a lot of people say its " multi touch " when actually its just dual

i just called the synpatics technical support department in the U.S (0018774054163) and asked them weather the T1021A is a Clearpad 1000 or a Clearpad 2000 ?.......
and the answer was "according to documentation" IT IS a clearpad 2000 that is capable of registering 2 simultaneous touch points at the same time...
that was exactly what the support guy told me so i guess now it is confirmed that the T1021A is a clearpad 2000 unless synpatics guys know nothing about the stuff they produce
i can call them back anytime and get any further needed information, i guess it's getting more exciting for us now.....
thanks
Edit : Even if the clearpad 2000 got "buggy" dual touch it's still sufficient for playing games with it
- as shown in the first "test" video some times the touches register in the wrong position (inversed location) specially when the axis of the 2 touches is crossed, but still IT IS enough for handling multi touch games like in the Nokia n8 , HTC legend and ztc blade not to mention the Google nexus one....
Edit 2 : an example of what a clearpad 2000 can do is shown in these videos (using a ZTE Blade which is a clearpad 2000 of course).....
Video #1 multitouch test (Skip the first minute)
Video #2 Assassin's Creed (can run in any direction and jump @ the same time)
Video #3 Fifa 10 (Can run in any direction and shoot or pass @ the same time)
Edit 3 : It is believed that sony not only crippled the touch screen driver BUT also the touch screen controller chip firmware !! that's why we can still not get a functional DT and i believe this is right so at least now we know what we exactly got here and maybe a solution can be found over time...
Edit 4 : Ok called them again BUT couldn't get any firmware from them heck they didn't even know what a firmware is.....
But on the brighter side i got another CONFIRMATION from the marketing department this time that the T1021A is sold as a "clearpad 2000" Dual Touch Solution.....
Copied from the x8 forums just to make this information available here maybe the x10 mini devs and users have something to contribute to this cause.....
for original post please go >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=847
Thanks.....
That was all I needed to read, thanks.

With modded drivers, even we can have dualtouch. It just seems it will be hard as hell to do it and the devs don't know how.
Sony Ericsson is too idiotic over its products!
i wonder why they are 'under' their competitors
Yes,yes,yes!!
Im gettiong sick of THIs sh-t a-s Fake dual touch! I WANT THE REAL DUAL TOUCH ON MAH CLEAR PAD 2000!
I have a couple of tablets but my primary is my Xoom. I'd like to use the HDMI output and the USB to connect to a multitouch screen that I have. I've seen some older hacks that are resistance hardware touch screens that are more hardware. I'm wondering if this is remotely possible in the newer version of android like ICS on the Xoom.
Thanks

I've read that the snapdragon 400 chip natively support GPS.
Is it possible to active it in a custom rom ?

No, while the processor chip may have support for GPS, the watch does not have the required sensors needed to get a GPS lock and to feed data to the processor.
If the sensor was actually in the device? Certainly there would be a way to enable it with a custom ROM, but that still dictates that the sensor would need to be built into it.

It means it natively has support for a GPS, it doesn't mean it has one embedded within the Snapdragon 400 SoC.
How about a portable gps reciever it's small and you can take with you. I have a nexus 6 and a LG G not GPS when I go for a run I have to take my phone to track my run could there be a way to bluetooth a GPS reciever to work with G watch. Like the way some people use there tablets and GPS same Idea?
What about Wi-Fi?
Many sites I follow are currently suggesting that the smartwatches powered by the Snapdragon 400 might have built in Wi-Fi antennas. The LG G Watch has a Snapdragon 400 APQ8026 but this SoC doesn't seem to have it. Can anyone confirm this?

When I looked at the teardown, the radio chipset is solely BT 4.0 :\ no wifi hardware in sight. However while the SoC supports it, without the hardware, that support is useless. Sorry to say
I read the watches have wifi but no antennas. Is it that they actually have the needed hardware but lack the circuitry for an antenna? Maybe a hardmod? Or no?

No. What you are reading is that they have the hardware to SUPPORT a wifi module (Some do actually only lack the antenna, however those will also lack drivers since the OEMs are not likely to make them). Not that there is one built into the SoC. As with the GPS above, even though your SoC supports something, doesn't mean it already has the hardware needed built into it.
@LittleLX: I actually attempted this and attempted to sideload a Bluetooth GPS receiver app to the watch, unfortunately because almost all of them use the Android ActionBar, it refused to start up. Android Wear is restricting applications to the swipe to dismiss action and forbidding the actionbar on versions of Android with Swipe to Dismiss on. That said, there is definitely room for this type of application to be developed for Android Wear, I had sideloaded CF.Lumen and ES File Manager, and while CF.Lumen doesn't open because of it's ActionBar, I had put together a tasker app factory app to attempt to play around and trigger (I had manually installed the CF.Lumen driver) it, it did show that it would work if I had been able to set up location services inside the app (choose the location for the automatic dimming..)
So Android Wear has potential to be a very powerful and extensible platform, developers just aren't interested in it yet it seems. We as a people seem to be stuck looking at a smartwatch as a watch rather than a wrist computer.
