[Q]What's the point of 5 point multitouch? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been trying to search around as to why you'd need anything more than 3 fingers touching the screen at once(realistically only 2), and i can't find anything.
can someone explain the reasoning for it?
same thing with the 10 point multitouch.

Im with you, but if had to guess, it's because we can.

Yup... just to show how awesome our devices are

games such as fruit ninja/slice? also showing how awesome atrix is. compared it with my friends thunderbolt 4 and charge 5 point touch!

consider this...
i know that we have the fingerprint scanner which seems to be a good tool for privacy. but a multi-point / pattern should increase the security of the pattern, if that's your lock preference.
and i'm sure it wont be long until we see mods for zooming and scrolling. possibly even page flipping. personally i'd like to see it incorporated to work with the clipboard. that would greatly multiply browsing and searching speed. not to mention the uses that could be handy with terminal emulator.

why do you need more than 2 or even 3 fingers for that game?
i guess the best answer here is "because we can"

Touchscreen sensitivity app

I had a galaxy's, and recently I bought a Atrix.
I noticed that Atrix has a touch screen less sensitive than galaxy.
I've downloaded from the market "sgs touchscreen booster", this is an app to manage the touchscreen galaxy.
I tried it on 'Atrix and it works fine for me.
Now I am satisfied with the touchscreen.
If anyone has the same problem, I advise him to try.
Sorry for my bad English
I can not tell if it is even working.

It work very well for me.

I had noticed that coming from Captivate, the touch screen felt... different. Just installed. Hopefully this helps. Thanks!
you are awesome!
I had the touchscreen bug where my screen would go unresponsive, was going to bring it in today (concerned about my device having the france rom on it.) and this app got it working again perfectly!
will be sure to buy you a beer on payday if this holds up.
just installed.. seems to be much more responsive to me.. have it set to "optimized". will try them all out..thx!

Same. I still, along with (I think) everyone, have the issue with multi-touch when you hold fingers down for a certain number of seconds and the screen equalizes it, forcing you to wait a few seconds and try it again. This really annoys me on games like Jet Car Stunts, when, for example, I hold the accelerate button but eventually I have to let go and press it again to keep the car accelerating.
yeah that apparently is a feature and done by design from what I read. the problem i had was worse in the sent that imagine the screen going nuts after 5 seconds of activity.
Is there any way to increase the multitouch number. This app says it can but it doesn't work I know this is for the galaxy but is there any other way?

Seems.to work like a charm
sent from my gingerblur v4 atrix with clock delete & motokeyboard
I was getting so annoyed of this phone because when i tried to typed i couldnt type one work without making a huge mistake because the screen wasnt picking up everything i guess. if i typed hey fast it would just type "hy" or something. but when i did this and put the sensitivity up to 80% and left the rest on default it fixed it. now i can type fast without any mistakes and it seems as it fixed multitouch problems as well! This app is definitely recommended.
I've always thought the Atrix screen could do with a higher sensitivity, after using the iphone. It might be all in the mind, but this app does seem to help. It is particularly noticeable when typing, I no longer have any missed letters where I haven't pressed hard enough.
Thanks for sharing this app

Draw something (app)

It needs notifications of when it's your turn; but yes, I'm able to do so much more with the S pen.
Yup, I agree with both of you.
iPhone users are puzzled on how I can draw it like that.
On the other hand, this really needs notification so bad.
I am loving this game, and the Note makes it that much more phone. I've been looking for the right app to force me to really take advantage of the s-pen, and this is it.
I've attached a couple of my drawings (button tap and hold screenshots FTW)... I'm not even a mediocre artist, but these were fun.

For the first time today I had an issue with the game. The S pen wouldn't register on about 1/6 of the screen. I couldn't draw anything there except with my finger. Happened in two straight games. Exited and went to the s memo app and it worked fine. Anyone ever have this happen to them?

No problem the concept is cool though I just think more colors and maybe different items to obtain that have different sounds and effects like bombs that make you lose or invincible shield icons that thou can obtain. Also maybe a slow motion one that lets you score a bunch of tockens by having the screen move very slow but the ball moves at normal speed. For example you obtain slow-mo and then you enter a mini maze filed with colorful tokens and you have to rotate your device fast to get the most tokens before your crushed by the screen coming to the top of course make an exit available. Etc

Hmm. Not working. It loops at the MC3 startup screen. Let me check and see if it is the ROM I am on (I am one of the few rooted devices). Hold on for a bit as I change.
Works just fine on the right ROM.
Controls are bit cramped because of the smaller screen but it is definitely playable.

Anyone give seeder a shot for lag?

Edit.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
Android doesn't have lag. It suffers from low framerate at times, but latency is not the issue.
That said, the only place I ever see low framerate is when I have a huge widget list to scroll through.

Okay, just gave 1.1 a shot. Apps are in fact loading up faster when pressed but that's the only thing I notice so far. Can't have a final say on anything else because it's so hard to tell on a Quad Core device with Jelly Bean. But thanks for letting us know of this.
Haven't tried it myself but....
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/entropy-seed-generator-not-all-its-hacked-up-to-be/
There are valid concerns about lag and how the Android OS handles them, and there is discussion currently ongoing within the Android Code about this, but this fix does not address those issues and instead gives performance gains through boosting CPU speed. The developer himself stated that this could in effect reduce battery life, since the hack is waking the CPU every second.

I grabbed this a few days ago when you mentioned it on CTO (thanks buddy). I notice apps opening noticably faster when it's running. I have it set to "start automatically on boot" but any time I "remove all" from a home button long press, which I do after I've been on my phone for a while, the app stops running and I forget to restart it. I wish it would persist that.

My theory is that people are launching apps before and then enabling it and testing those apps. Thing is, they are all loaded and load instantly.
I rebooted between my tests. :

I tried explaining the the thread that Steve Kondik isn't endorsing the app like they think he is. He performed his own tests, with his own compiled code and saw some inexplicable results.
Seeder didn't do anything for him on any device he has.
A moderator deleted it though, conveniently. They of course left behind the part where CM is allegedly endorsing it though.
