Hey there everyone, I got my Mi5 a couple of weeks ago. I flashed Slim7, but right now I use the latest Lineage OS as my daily driver.
Although, user experience has been great I faced a bug in both ROM which I believe is firmware related, but I don't really have a solution. I am not sure if it happened in stock, but in both custom ROMs that I used, sometimes the capacitive keys (back and recents) would stop working. This happened every 5 minutes or so and it only gets fixed if I lock and unlock the device or if I navigate to somewhere else, hence the reason I believe this is software related.
I did a bit of digging around and some people who were also affected by this concluded that might have to do with certain panels being incompatible the kernel, since Xiaomi uses both LGD and JDI panels for the Mi5.
Has anybody managed to solve this issue? A workaround would to enable on screen navigation but I would prefer not to.
Cheers!

I'm facing a very annoying problem in my k3 note, that some areas of screen randomly stop responding. In my phone its mostly limited to bottom right part of my screen where backspace on keyboard is located. Rest of phone is responsive except this region. Restarting the phone fixes it temporarily.
But strange part is it doesn't happen on all ROMs, I first noticed it in some AOSP MM ROM, then i think it was Andronium VUI ROM (based on dev 1628) and now on s433 rom which leads to believe its some software thing not hardware thing.
Are there others also which face similar issue ? Any possible solution except switching to different rom ?

Yes, I have this problem with the screen also. I've heard from others with similar issues on other forums. It seems it is a hardware fault or possibly an issue with the way software interacts with the screen controller. In my case the screen is periodically unresponsive around the letter E or R on the keyboard and I have to tap the area with greater pressure. Sometimes it gets very buggy and very frustrating.
There is another possibly related problem when scrolling a web page or dragging - larger areas of the screen become unresponsive. Turning the screen off and then back on fixes the problem for the next 2 or 3 minutes. This issue has also been fixed for me with the kernel from daniel_hk here http://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-...rnel-dc-mtk-m1-kernel-vibeuiv3-51631-t3483573 - the only proviso is you apply it to Vibeui 1631. So while the scrolling issue seems to be fixed, the unresponsive areas around letters E and R on the keyboard remain.
I've noted the problems above would temporarily go away after flashing a new ROM however they eventually return. I've considered buying a new screen but not really sure if its a hardware or software issue - possibly both!

hmmm it's interesting that different people have different areas of unresponsive screen. It seems more like software issue to me, as I started noticing this issue more on newer dev roms only. Today, I've reverted to dev ui 3.1 1622st as I remembered it didn't have it. Will report in couple of days of how it goes, so far haven't noticed it.
I have been facing touch problems for quite some time on the ROW version of the ROM s433. The touch starts acting weirdly, i.e random things start getting touched automatically and this happens mostly in the lower half of the screen. I turned on the show pointer location option from developer settings and it shows the pointer stuck at one point on the screen showing erratic behaviour. Turning the screen off and then back on solves the problem but very temporarily. Restarting solves for a longer time but the problem pops back up.
Hi folks,
i'm having trouble with my capacitive buttons when using a foil or tempered glas on mi mi5 with official Lineage OS. In the Lineage OS support thread bgcngm say the problem should be fixed since ~15/01. For me it is not. Tried all different kinds of foils. On Lineage OS IRC they said I should give logs to the maintainer so he can debug but I cant post in the Lineage OS support thread
Reply from dev regarding the buttons in los thread:
Most likely you have a Mi 5 assembled with a LGD panel. This was a known problem, originated by the fact that the kernel source code release by Xiaomi is quite old. Touchscreen driver probably got updated (firmware was for sure) in their internal releases to deal better with those touchscreen/panels combo. Although, thanks to @s3zam the firmware was recently updated and this issue should have been attenuated. Are you still experiencing it in the official builds?
Hi underko,
Yes, capacitive buttons are still not working. I'm on the latest nightly 31/1.
Same here on 06.02 nightly. I have 3/32 variant.
Same problem
02/06 didn't changed anything. Capacitive buttons are still not working at all.
In general I think they were working for a while after flashing but stopped soon. While working their sensitivity was very low in my opinion. But I'm not 100% sure.
Other roms
Other roms like Mokee and RR have the same problem (sorry for my very bad english:silly
Did anybody manage to solve this issue? I tried reporting it on LOS's bug tracker but right now, they only accept regressive bug reports.
For me its still unsolved.

Do you have a case/screen protector?
It seems that it might have to do with grounding. The issue wasn't as persistent when I removed the case.
EDIT: Flashing xiaomi.eu fixed the issue completely for me. So I suppose it is a software bug after all.
i have the same issue too, help
Guys did you try with Xceed kernel or DragonXia

yape tried these 2 kernels, but no luck, issue still persists.
actually my issue is on the recent app/menu button, the touch sensitivity seems low (although im not apply any screen protector).. pressed it 10 times, only 2 times was responded !
Mi 5 comes with either JDI or LGD display, check which one you have. LGD display faces problems of unresponsive capacitive buttons on Lineage based Roms.
I have JDI display with tempered glass and the capacitive buttons are generally responsive.
yes, i have LGD
i have the same problem with Resurrection Remix. sometimes the buttons are working but most time not.
would it be a solution to change to an aosp rom?
same problem
same problem! 14.1
The ****ty solution I found was just to use/enabled the on screen software buttons.
Hoping to get an email one day with someone saying the physical buttons finally work. Not keeping my hopes up.
mine has a LGD panel. Hardware buttons works for me. I'm on lineage OS 4/4/17 build.
I think it is part software bug and part to do with the quality of the tempered glass you install. because first I bought a cheap glass from ebay and hardware buttons stopped responding while I was on MIUI. Now I have nillikin one and hardware buttons works fine.
Okay so I wanted feedback regarding this whether someone else is experiencing this or not.
I have gradually observed during the last few days that a lot of my touches to click have gone unresponsive in Nougat. Initially it was something that I hadnt quite noticed but slowly the trend became obvious. Now dont get me wrong, this would happen a few times here and there with lollipop and MM as well, but the rate is far higher now on Nougat. Especially when typing on the keyboard this means mis-spelled words, missed letters, and accuracy is far worse now.
Has anyone else observed this or is it just me?
Just got my xcover 4 with nougat installed i have the same issue.
The sensitivity is low and i need to press a bit higher finger force to respond.
Even with sensitivity (glove mode) set to on things get worse.
I'm seeing the same thing. What is strange is that I'll see the button highlight/depress, but no action occurs. This is on multiple apps.
On what device/OS?
Sprint Note 5 on Nougat
Did you try gloves mode? Does it work?
the same for me on 920cd and the same iusse using S pen
I contacted samsung Greece about the existing problem.
I reported the problems me and you guys have and the tech support told me that your problems exist because you did not factory reset the devices before upgrading to nougat.
Anyone tried to contact samsung about the problem?
They dont know anything about it.
facing same issue screen lagging in note 5 sm-n920s also tried custom rom but still lagging in typing and scrolling on facebook
I have the same problem on my xcover 4 here!!
When I run the the touch screen test, touch screen responds well, but when I want to write a message or to scroll the home screen Its very annoying. It looks like software problem.
please help
Hi guys.
I have 2nd piece of Xcover 4 SM-G390F (first was change by seller for new one) and had the same problem. First 2-3 days all work perfect.. I have installed my applications, work perfect for two days, but after this... --After wake, display react only in centre area, 1 centimeter from display border no reaction or react on xxx touch. After few seconds (20-30) display react on full range, but with lags... So... I go for support to Samsung official at CZE.
Support tells me, that they don't know about this problem, that I'm 1st who has this problem... And some other bull... about unofficial sell and any other. So I post them IMEI and they let me know, if my distribution is official or not, and we'll see what next. They recomend me to go to service center, where somebody looks on my SM. So I see tomorrow.

My mi 9 seems to be able to only detect 1 finger. Completely wiped phone and problem still persist. Anyone with same issue or able to fix issue?
I have the same problem. Have you found any solution?

I have that same problem. Could you help
Happened the same issue to my Mi9. Multi touch was working normally but suddenly it stopped working while I was zooming on a web page. Then I made a factory reset but still didn't work. Today I updated to Miui 12 hopping the problem would be solved but still no success. I think this bug is related to Android 10 as I saw elsewhere someone rolled back to Miui 10/Android 9 and things got to normal. On the other hand this is not a hardware failure for sure since multi touch keeps working normally on apps running in game turbo mode.
So, has anyone found how to kill this annoying bug?
Thanks for any help.
ive been searching everywhere how to fix this. i already email xiaomi about this issue. still didnt find clue how to fix this bug. still hoping that xiaomi will fix this issue.
This issue is a shame for Xiaomi!
As far as I know the only solution is to downgrade to Miui10 and stuck on this version or take the risk to upgrade to Miui11 (not recommended for obvious reasons) or the fresh new Miui12. So far I've been using the "turbo game" thing to workaround the bug. I had to install some alternative apps from Google Play (such as Chrome Beta, other gallery app, Google Maps Go...) to use instead of the stock apps so I can use them with "turbo" and get pinch to zoom working. This is not the best way to solve the issue -- the ideal is to get multi touch back working again without the need to resort to any tricks -- however it works very well. Maybe one of these days I'll get some patience to setup the good old Miui10 again...
i also have this ghost touch on the upper part of the screen. it came same time as the multi touch issue. it cant even fix by game turbo. i cant even play games normally like moba or fps game. i dont know if its just me have this ghost touch issue. its a big shame for xiaomi flagship phone?
No news about this issue? Everything works fine with Pixel Experience in my MI9 but multitouch. I remmember I solved another problem (auto-rotate didn't work for the display) and I solved it flashing only last version of "persist.img".
Same here bro!
I bought my Mi 9 in February and everything worked well. I also upgraded to MIUI 12 with no problems at all, then suddenly multitouch stopped working.
If I flash Pixel Experience will the problem be solved?

No way, Installing PE doesn't solve the problem.
I'm going to try it with new kernels and FWs.

Try to flash MIUI 10... I read somewhere it should work, because MIUI 10 is built on Android 9, which doesn't have this issue
same i have this issue, i tried miflash. the only workaround are miui 10 and game turbo method.
also i have this nonresponsive part of the upper screen, right where most game analog button placed. idk if this "dead touch" is connected to this multitouch issue
This was the first and probably the last Xiomi I bought. Back to iOS. Bought a second hand iPhone 11 in mint condition. Working rock solid! Crap Mi9!!!

Have the same problem here!!!
Upper screen DEAD
Annoying ghost touch on upper screen
Have to type multiple times because It keeps ghost touching...
Can't sell the phone, because of these issues...
Miss my Galaxy note
Is there a fix to this issue now? GameTurbo enhances the touch so that multitouch works. There must be a fix to this.
Initial ProblemThe issue arose after having been on Pulkit's LineageOS (unofficial) for weeks. One fine morning i get the following message on my lock screen: Fingerprint hardware not available. To respect the rules of the forum and since I had already gone into detail about it here and found a temporary fix for it, I refrain from reiterating the same.
TLDRThe fingerprint hardware issue came up abruptly, wasn't fixed with changing kernels. Switched to a miui 14 port for a week, everything was working fine, switched back to an aosp rom (Voltage os), runs fine for a day and on the second half of the second day, the fingerprint sensor stops working again.
Help?I've scoured through the forum in search for a solution to this but seems like it's a truly unique problem x | Has anyone encountered something like this? Were you able to solve it or was there any permanent fix to this? I really don't want to have to use miui if I can help it and after having been on aosp roms for almost a year now, I absolutely can't daily drive miui T.T
Any advise or suggestions on the matter are really welcome!
