Hi all,
The LG G4 runs Pokemon Go rather well for the most part, except when you try to throw a ball - the game won't track your finger position very well.
There is a noticeable delay in dragging the pokeball, as to where the game thinks your finger is, compared to where it actually is. You can see this when you perhaps twirl for a curveball throw, or generally move your finger around quickly while holding down a ball to throw it. You'll see a gap develop between your finger position and the ball lagging behind, as if the ball were attached to your finger by a rubber band.
Anyone know any solutions to improve the finger tracking responsiveness when throwing pokeballs?
This issue doesn't happen on the two other devices I've tried, where the ball is very responsive and stays under your finger at all times/speeds of finger movement. Also, this issue can make it impossible to throw the ball very far, because the increased finger speed needed to make the long throw is just ignored by the lagging rubber-band effect that thinks you are making a normal speed/distance throw. This can prevent you from catching certain pokemon like Rapidash, that are positioned very far away.
I have the same problem on my G4.
I've had some success with cooling down the phone, so I wonder if the problem gets worse when the phone is hot, as if the phone throttles the processor used for finger-tracking? The graphics look fine and don't slow down, just how it tracks the finger position and updates the position of the ball by lagging behind if you move (the ball will center on your finger position correctly if you stop or move slowly, it's just that weird rubber band effect).
I've waved my phone like a fan, holding from the bottom and fanning with the top end. People ask "does your phone work as a good fan to keep you cool" and I have to explain that I'm cooling off the phone.
But I'm not even sure if the cooling works all the time, it might just be placebo effect and not actually changing anything.

On my ATT Tilt when ever I close the sliding screen now it does not line up properly. The screen sites a few millimeters to the right of where it should. I called ATT and they said that Slide issues aren't covered under warranty. Anyone else having a similar issue?
No problems here, although keyboard sliding is a bit easier to move since the day I bought it and it sometimes moves when I don't expect it to...
Yeah it def slides easier, but it doesn't line up properly.
I've dropped mine many times (only onto carpets so far, happily) and on occasion have found the top half of the phone slightly misaligned with the rest - resulting in a lip at the top, bottom, or right hand side. I've found that with a little gentle but firm nudge the other way, it usually fits back into place. I think there's a little movement designed into the whole thing, to allow it to take repeated sliding and the odd knock without the stress damaging anything.
Hey everybody. I've been using my Xperia for about 2 months now. However, while messing around with it the other day, I realized that it's kind of shaky. For example, if i "press" against the silver finish all the way to the right of the screen, the top part of the phone shakes a little (like it moves kind of inward). Also, when I press the bottom right soft key, the same thing happens. It shakes a little, and it's not too big of a deal but it's annoying.
Another thing is that the keyboard also slides out very easily. Like way too easily. While using the touchflo 3d with one finger (sliding to the right), for instance, unless my finger is completely dry and moving on the screen very smoothly, the screen moves to the right slightly (the way the keyboard opens).
Also, when the keyboard is out, if i "press" towards the top part of the screen, it also shakes. It feels kind of loose.
I just wanted to know, is this normal? If not, what should I do, as I bought this phone from ebay.
Other than this problem, I love my Xperia. It's very functional and like a mini PC. If it wasn't for this place, though, I think I would have probably been VERY, VERY dissatisfied with my Xperia (with the stock rom).
Thanks in advance. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: My phone is a silver, Xperia X1i model.
I don't think that's normal. Do you tend to slide out your keyboard a lot? Have you noticed any cracks near the stylus btw?
Holy-!
How much force are you using on the screen?! My slider is exceedingly solid. Absolutely no give, and even if I use TF3D it doesn't move.

I think that's out of normal
My Black X1 has about 1mm play, on the left side. On the right side it is less, but it can be felt, exactly as you mention.
As for opening, I have no problem with that, it gives just reasonable resistance.
i try to peat as least pressure as possible while using tf3d. i also dont slide out my keyboard THAT much. and no, no cracks near stylues.
apparently, this is not normal. any advice?
redo the screen calibration, now applying as LITTLE force as you can to get the press registered, and try again. Xperia has some sort of vario force meter on the touchscreen - the more force you use during calibration, the more force you need during normal usage.
another issue i have with my phone (not hardware related) is the fact that when i use high quality on my youtube app, watching the video is sooooooo laggy. is there any fix for this
It's a limitation of the current app, most likely it's incapable of taking advantage of the native hardware decoding the MSM7200/7201/7200A/whatever chipset offers.
Stock N7 16GB
I have always thought the touchscreen on my N7 was a bit jittery, but now I have come to realize the problem is far worse than I originally thought. For example:
Load a webpage
Place a finger on center of screen
Rest palm or other finger on left edge of screen
Display starts moving/pinch scaling like crazy, even if I remove any touch from left side of screen and keep only 1 finger on center screen.
Almost all the time the touch on my N7 jitters/moves around a bit which causes issues with swiping. If I place 1 finger in the middle of a web page, it moves around slightly even if my finger isn't moving.
I think for these reasons I will be returning this tablet.

I'm having issues with the screen too. For me, it seems worst when it boots up. my example was playing Angry Birds Space - I can't control it, then suddenly it releases and (if a bird with an action) performs the action. any known fixes?
i had same problem think i found a fix
I had same problems with my nexus 7 but it started after i installed dead triger i also noticed tablet dosint come with stock file manager so i installed the same game on my asus tf300 and noticed same issues on my nexus i did a factory reset and cant make screen get any dead spots hope this helps you out
I had that once the other day. I had to reboot it was so bad. Almost felt like the tablet was laggy. Hasn't happened again though.
I do have Dead Trigger installed as well, but I haven't played it in a long time.
I recently played a game simultaneously with my cousin (to see who was the better gamer of course) on my touchpad while he started the level the exact same time on his ipad. Everything was great but then when I saw him navigating through things, it seemed much more responsive. Like as he swiped (not just on his game screen but on other things like web browsers) the screen would be just as fast. Scrolling on a browser, his finger and the movement of the screen seemed 1:1 while on the touchpad there was a noticeable lag or rubber band like effect where I would move my finger quickly and then the screen would try to keep up.
Is there any way to make my screen as responsive or is this just one of the draw backs to having android on a non android device. I found that the responsiveness is there when I am on WebOS when I tried to test out to see what was so "off"
I felt that some up closer objects made my head hurt, so out of curiosity, I closed my left eye then my right eye. I expected them to line up on the horizontal axis, but they were offset vertically by a significant amount.. many times it was 45 degrees and closer to vertical.
Keep in mind you have to make sure your head is absolutely level, and if there is anything in the background that isn't exactly aligned, your brain will be comparing the foreground object to that. You can try this out in real life.
From some tests in the home screen it felt offset, but I'm going to take a break from the gearvr and try it again. Again you have to make sure your head is aligned with the home screen orientation (e.g. hold back and select reorient, then try this test without tilting your head anyway except up/down).
edit: after some more testing, it seems like sometimes it is calibrated well, if I take the phone out and re-insert it, the stereo alignment is a lot better. But it took several times of re-inserting to get a good one. 3/5 times it's bad for me.
Also, does anyone else's not say charger connected anymore when connecting it?
