XDA IIi Screen alignment trouble

Hi all
I have a problem with the screen alignment on my XDA IIi. I can get through the alignment tool fine and the 5 points match up correctly - however between the 5 points things can get quite far out of place. I tested this by trying to draw straight lines in notepad - the lines were very wonky, except for the sections near alignment points.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any software with more alignment points or any other possible fix.
Thanks in advance.

wow...rare case dude...never heard of anything of that kind..i guess you must have dropped it or better yet try Performing a hard reset, it may solve the problem...you must have installed a program that cause it to behave this way...

bushako
and oh yeah dont forget to back up,hehe

Yeah tried a hard reset... still no luck :\
I wonder if i should open it up and have a poke around.

Before you do that you might want to read on how the early Hermes were fixed, ie sliding a business card around the frame of the screen.
However, from personal experience, I once screwed up my touchscreen by sliding a screen protector up too high, so be careful. You might just open it up and take your chances there instead
Check out a service manual if you have access.

Dude did u get it fixed..i think im facing the same problems now...when aligning the screen the 4 points match up correctly but also wen i draw something using 3rd part programs like pocket artist..id try to draw a straight line at the bottom of the screen and instead it appears curved..and when typing messages i always end up inserting the wrong characters even though i point at the correct letters...i tried swapping a telephone card inbetween the screen and the panel but it didnt make much difference...i can open it up and take a look but i dont think much can be done either...so if anyone else is facing this problem and have resolved this issue..please let me know...

yes, same as me.
whenever I tried to hit space bar, the button above the space bar will be pressed instead :-(
can anyone come up with the solution on this device problem ?

anyone got a solution for this?
I am experiancing the same problems basically I think the manufacturer installed protective screen has come loose from the hard sensor (due to use?) and so the stylus is pushing on an air bubble.
I dont know whether to cut out that layer with a scalpel (carefully or not) and use normal screen protectors that stick properly ... has anyone done this before?

Yes, you could be right relbourn, at first I was suspecting the screen protector causing this problem but
hm.. I've tried even to remove the screen protector and did HARD RESET as well but still......... the problem can't be solved :-| gees...
any idea ? instead of replacing the touch screen ?
any suggestion or similar problem with this ?

S Pen not working

After I accidentally inserted the S Pen backwards, but later on managed to remove it successfully, the S Pen is not working.
It can still be detected, ie triggering Air Command or screen off memo, when I was removing it whilst it was stuck, but after it was removed it does not trigger the Air Command, and the worst part is it does not interact with the phone in anyway, not even as a stylus. :crying:
I only got it for a few days, and really hope you guys can help me solve this issue. If not I will send it for repairs and hopefully get it fixed for free or low cost.

Hi,
I have a similar problem after accitaly insert in wrong way.
The S pen work, but there is no detection anymore.
I had to remove every detection in settings, but I still have some notification about S pen removed.
(you can trigfer air commands by double click S pen bouton)
I would like to know if someone did repaire the sensor?

There is a switch inside the phone which you have broken by yanking out the pen after it was inserted the wrong way. There are videos on YouTube that explain it in detail.

Yes.
I would like to know if someone did repaire this switch, in a Samsung repair station?

Did u buy it new or used? If u bought it from the store a couple days ago just take it back and exchange it. But dont tell them u screwed it up lol
I still can not figure how people put the s pen in upside down.....scratching my head
Sent from my SM-N920P using XDA Free mobile app

spen working method
You can actually use the spen by going into settings, spen, and than turn off S pen power saver mode

My spen first began to get less and less responsive, i.e. I had to push hard for it to interact with the screen, and now it completely stopped interacting with the screen.
no idea dafuc is going on!

My phone won't detect my pen. It works though

I got mine stuck, removed it by inserting a bit of paper and now it doesn't work and it doesn't detect lol. fail.

First try to.change you tip with a spare one from the box. If the problem remains do a software reset . If none of this solve your problem then search with google for spen sensitivity. There is a metod to fix this problem.

Fingerprint reader not functioning properly

I got my Mi Mix from China/HK (not sure which) from NIS-store in November. The phone has been glorious with the exception of the fingerprint reader.
I enter my fingerprint, one finger, whether once or multiple times, the result is the same. Immediately afterwards it reads well, a couple of hours later it's hit and miss. Half a day later it will not read my fingerprint at all. I've flashed every ROM, BL unlocked, installed TWRP, rooted and installed EU ROM. Cleared cache, davik and user data. I used water and a soft cloth to wipe the fingerprint reader and washed my hands until they're raw.
To compare, I recently bought the US version of the Huawei Mate 9. This phone has lots of problems and is going back, but the fingerprint reader is 99% accurate.
1) Anyone else have this issue and how have you addressed? (I contacted the seller who supposedly, by default, offer a one year warrantly. I am dubious.
2) Anyone know of a repair shop, US or China/HK that might be able to repair this?
Any input is appreciated.

Have you been facing this issue since November or have you just noticed this recently?
Before you send it out for repair, have u tried registering multiple fingers other than just your index fingers?
Can you also ask a friend or someone close, to try the fingerprint sensor. This is very unlikely, but I've heard that some fingerprint sensors aren't capable of scanning every type of fingerprint. While some people have very clear pattern\ridges on their fingerprints, it may be faint for others.
This is why I am suggesting that you ask a friend to test the sensor. This way you can make sure that it is the sensor itself which is defective.

I appreciate your response.
This has been ongoing since I received the device. I've never been able to, reliably, use the fingerprint scanner and count on activating my phone without the real possibility of having to use my pin.
The Mate 9 is the only fingerprint reader that has consistently worked. My note (4 or 5?) just wouldn't do the job and my V20 is just flaky (I guess I'm the flaky one, with so many phones).
I'll start out, renewed, with other fingers, then, if nt successful, get my wife to try the fingerprint reader.
Anyone else have additional suggestions, or email of a repair shop?

From what you say, it looks like the pattern of your fingerprint may be faint or hard to read compared to others. Because the other phones you mentioned like the Note 5 and V20 have really good fingerprint sensors. The Note 4 had a slow swipe-type sensor, so that has been a pain for me as well.
And the Mate 9 may have an excellent sensor or maybe its just the material on the surface of the Mate 9's sensor. Some glass sensors tend to attract even the slightest of moisture or sweat. I've noticed that the sensor of the Mix does this.
See if your partner's fingerprints work fine with the device. In that case, you can rule out that its a defective sensor.
And regarding repairs, I haven't seen any actual spares for the Mix due to the limited production of the device. So I doubt you'll find any repair shops that has parts to service the Mix.
Your best bet would be to send it to the seller for warranty.

Just so anyone interested will know, it's my faulty right index finger. After nearly 8 hrs using my left index finger and not a singe missed scan. I don't know what to think, except thanks to satishp for the insight and supportive words.

I had a problem in which my sensor crashed. I thought it was a hardware problem but a factory reset completely fixed the problem for me. If your device has ongoing issues across multiple ROMs, it is most likely a hardware caused issue.

Glad that I could be of help. Its good to know that the sensor isn't defective and you don't have to send it for warranty anymore. It would have been a hassle to ship your phone to China and not knowing when\if the seller would send it back.
Cheers!

The mod for this function did not disable it for me

(N9208) Tune touch sensitivity without rooting the phone?

Hello, I'm a junior member here, I learned a lot from XDA as I read many threads but only have posted a bit.
My Note5 has been showing touchscreen malfunctions for a while, nowadays I'm using the S-pen. The first time I realized I tried to wipe the cache, and it didn't work. I booted into safe mode but it didn't fix it. I realized it was a hardware related thing. Then I tried to remove the screen protector, it did work, but not much later it happened again. I cleaned my screen and it worked (and start malfunctioning again minutes later).
I concluded that the oil from my finger was the problem, but unlike any other phones I've had, the touch begins to malfunction just because of a very tiny amount of grease build up.
(for example, if there's a small build up on the 'A' key on the keyboard, whenever I touch other areas, the 'A' key will also recieve touch input.)
I think tuning the touch sensitivity will help. So I asked for help here.
Was my conclusion wrong or is there any solution that requires no rooting?

Type *#2663# on your phone. And press "TOUCH KEY FW UPDATE".

Nice, it works! But may I know why did it happen? Perhaps I can prevent it in the future. What happened?
(Update) The screen malfunctioned again. I tried to update the touchscreen firmware again and nothing happened. I was thinking wether flashing a custom kernel and ROM would fix this or not, should I?

Replace the phone, could be the screen or the motherboard. Don't bother fixing it.

The weird part is it does work perfectly sometimes but most other time, it doesn't. I'm going to do a factory reset tonight to see if it works or not, or to decide wether I should flash a new ROM or not.
In my place here, a nearby retail store is willing to buy my Note5 for around $130, pretty sad to know. I love the S-pen but can't afford the Note 9 nor the Note 8. Should I buy a Samsung tablet with an S-pen instead?(it's currently on 25% discount).
Update: Is it a coincidence if the touch is problematic during heavy task (e.g. multitasking, running demanding apps, or playing games) and working fine during standby or light tasks?

air triggers issue

Hey guys, I've got some weird problem with air triggers for a while now..
The right trigger can be activated somehow without touching it specifically, but even if I tough the back panel of the device.. It's a bit hard to explain, but you can see it well in here:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/PZZar4gMKZdYChqdA
Is it a defect in the device? Cause it didn't happen when u got it
Bought it from giztop back in October.

No one encountered this problem?

I do sometimes have higher than normal sensitivity with my right air trigger, but it has not been as bad as what you show in your video.
My theory would be that something is getting in the way of the contacts in your air trigger. Are you able to get some compressed air and lightly blow into your headphone jack and shake the phone a bit to see if it comes loose and fixes the issue?

I encountered the same problem as you, and later sent it to the original factory to say it was a screen problem, because I bought the Tencent version and it took nearly 170 usd to change the entire screen panel.
Personally think that it is a quality problem, and some users of the standard version have encountered similar situations. The warranty should be sent to the original factory without charge.

Yes. I am also having the same issue. Need to check with service center.
Workaround solution. User dual partition. If you use it for PUBG or Freefire put the left partition to the empty place and the right partition to the appropriate button. Also make left partition touch as 1 times. This fixed the problem of miss triggering the button. Hope it works for you.
