Reduce the touchscreen sensitivity - glove mode off? - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Hi guys. It seems that all Xiaomi phones have the touchscreen sensitivity too high, something like glove mode on?
I had a pocophone which I sold for the exact same issue, and now, the Mi 8 has the same problem. Is there any way to reduce the sensitivity? I causes many typing issues, even a midrange phone from other manufacturers is way better in this regard.
Does the aosp ROMs have anything different in this regard? I am still waiting for bootloader unlock so I cannot flash a custom ROM yet..
Thanks!

Touch issues

Got my phone this Sunday. I had LG G2 previously. Performance and battery backup wise this phone is comparable to G2. What bugs me is the touch performance. I can't seem to make horizontal swipes work properly. Majority of the time, the phone detects it as vertical swipes.
I then have to scroll down again and very precisely swipe left or right. Anyone else have this issue. Note that the same apps and my swiping methods have worked flawlessly with G2 which I had for more than two years.

Yup even happenes to me... Especially clearing the notifications,...
But it doesn't happen in CM!!!
This is certainy an OS issue, try updating to global beta or, to diagnose the problem, go to developer tools-> show touch information, and if you see some weird shaping lines and not the actual line you drew on the screen, with a little overflow, you might have a hardware problem.
Hope this helps

That is absolutely a relief knowing that it doesn't happen to CM. So It's definitely just an MIUI issue. Thanks for letting us know.
The same problem here in my mi5 (rom MIUI 8 Italia based on latest china developer)

The same problem for me: Mi5 (rom MIUI 8 Italia based on latest china developer).
Horizontal swipes seems too sensitive
I installed cyanogenmod and the touch gestures works Pretty good! Maybe miui 8 calibration has to be patched

it isn't hardware issue: I installed Cyanogenmod rom and with it touch sensibility is ok
I also have some issues while using the official miui global rom. But with both, cm13 and cm14.1 everything works flawless! So you should think about flashing it and seeing if its a hardware issue.

Welcome to the club, I had already a indentical tread like this, same one! To me this touch it's so annoying, because I constantly have to do something on my oneplus x brothers phone and my previously Xperia z5 father's phone, and the touch of then it's so much smoother... If I had knowledge of this issue previously it certainly would have been a deal breaker.. Im waiting for my boot unlocker SMS from Xiaomi... My biggest fear it's that the camera quality be much worst on CM 13, it is??

You are right. Been to CM13, and now back to MIUI 8 because I need the camera quality of MIUI. Well, its just now a matter of preference to me.
I have some problems with touch on my Mi5.
I'am on global developer (official ota) version, and I have sharp lcd on my Mi5.
From time to time, touch is loosing smoothness and look like is ''brooke''/not perform normal.
When this happens, only resete helps.
Right now, 2 days works normal.
Before thet, 10 days was normal, and than problem was there.
Is it any solution, but I want stay with MIUI?
Thanks and best regards.
The touchscreen is not working properly with the Nillkin Tempered Glass applied.
Every time I charge my phone with my Blitzwolf QC 3.0 charger, I have issues with the touchscreen. To resolve this, I need to reboot the phone. After the reboot, the touchscreen response is back to normal.
It looks like the charging changes the way the capacitive touchscreen works. Until I reboot the phone.

It happens the same to me, after charging the touch responsiveness most of the time is very slow and buggy, a reboot is needed. I'm on LineageOS and have tempered glass on, but can't remeber which one.
I'm happy to find that somebody else has this issue since I was thinking it was just on my phone, but this seems to be some kind of different issue then.
I can confirm that Xiaomi Mi 5s 3GB 64GB Golden version with Global 8.0.3.0 MAGMIDI Stable has this issue, the touch screen is not reliable, sometimes we try to swype horizontally and it understands a vertical swype, in other hand, it also happens that you touch the screen at one point and it thinks that you were holding the screen on that pointing, popping out a holding option.
I reported on Xiaomi's official forum, it's good to report there in order to get their attention.

The second issue you're reporting happens to me only with xMIUI xposed module, I activated 'expand notification with one finger swipe downward' and I has that issue too, but I don't have it without that module. Could this be your problem?

Screen flickering at high brightness

Hi All,
I've just bought a 256GB Mix. loving it but i've noticed a distracting flickering when the screen is at higher brightness settings. It's hard to describe almost like random dips occur in the brightness.
Obviously auto brightness is off and i've disabled as much battery saving things as i can find.
It persists through different ROMS, tried various MIUI roms, RR, and AICP.
Do i have a dud? Any Firmware updates i can try?
Are you on the newest firmware I believe its 7.12.21

Nope, I never did find a solution. I just have the brightness around 90%, it doesn't seem to do it around that. It's plenty bright at that so I'm happy. Considered sending it for RMA but couldn't be bothered with it being a Chinese seller, just thought it would be too stressful..
I'm considering upgrading to a Mix 2s soon anyway..
I have a similar problem on Xiaomi 4A, it looks like this video (iphone right): Youtu.be/Q6CANkiPkUM
Do you have a similar flicker?
Replacement screen for what 80 bucks
Perhaps the problem is not in the screen, but in the power supply pwm - inductor, capacitor
Hello I've redmi note 5 pro i also have same issue past few months but i didn't get any solution. when my phone brightness will high then screen flickering too fast and this issue is too much trouble. So please any one have any solution please let me know.

Double tap to wake

Is there anyway to enable double tap to wake ?
Nope, touch sensor below the lcd panel has to support it on a hardware level. But then again, why? Double tap to wake is among the most overhyped functions drains battery and wakes your phone up in yer pocket, you have the power button and or fingerprint reader to tap and don't even have to tap two times . On the other hand I'd trade the ir blaster to an nfc, ir blaster makes the phone look/sound a bit childish imho.
I don't understand why xiaomi don't give us this extremely simple feature....I use it so much, so waiting for custom kernels

Are you sure? on Mi 6X (same hardware) DT2W is possible on stock firmware, and also on Mi A1 on stock kernel is not possible but it is on custom kernel.
BTW, I hope would be possible in the future.

Depends a lot on the hardware. Usually it's bad in terms of power usage on LCDs

What are you trying to say? I said it depends a lot on the hardware if its power hungry or not and that on LC based displays it usually is more power hungry than on AMOLEDs for example.
It doesn't depend on whether its LCD or AMOLED because the screen remains off in both cases. And no, it doesn't drain power(very minuscule, almost negligible drain). I have used it on almost all my phones and I love it, strange why Xiaomi wouldn't provide such basic functionality.

Screen can't be off as it waits for your touch. As I said it depends a lot on the used technology, see here https://www.reddit.com/r/essential/comments/8we29y/comment/e1v0tsa

What you mean by screen is the touch panel, and yes that has to be active for d2tw, but screen and touch panel are different layers. So screen remains turned off which saves you from the battery drain and touch panel consumes very less power in terms of how we use our phones.

Just beacause you don't know how to appreciate it's usefulness doesn't mean it's useless. And how is ir blaster childish? Never seen a tv remote control? Fan remote control? Aircon remote control? Would love to see both double tap to wake and nfc on the phone.
Chillax dood, long life is rare, the tv and ac should have their own remote imho. It's not a phone's job to control those. If you check the models that usually include the ir blaster you'll see the childish part. And when you're on a budget (as a phone manufacturer) nfc should have priority over the ir blaster. But yeah that's just me.
Anyway this is a no go phone. Poor battery life, no nfc. nokia 7 plus seems to be better.

Are the they the exact same thing? No right? So you are paying more for things like a bigger battery, nfc. They are both android one phones and are definitely comparable.
I mean Xaiomi do not offer the feature on battery life concerns, even cheap ugly phones as Asus zenfone 2 has this feature, which besides being power hungry because phones in pocket tends to wake up spontaneously with body movement, using the fingerprint sensor for this is more clever, enforcing it is a wise decision from Xiaomi

We all know that isn't true. Please stop making things up.
We'll need a kernel mod to make it work. I love this feature.. hopefully an experienced dev would help us out in the future.

It's not a big hit on battery life. Its similar to the always-listening feature used by google where you say "ok google" to turn the device on. It doesn't need the entire chip to be running. I don't know the exact hardware details. Pocket wake-ups are blocked by the proximity sensor.

Another touchscreen problem-does not work when device is lying

Hi,
The new owner of Nokia 7 plus here. Its the second day I own a Nokia 7 Plus (Oreo 8.1) and I have a problem with a touchscreen. I noticed that sometimes it soea not recognize when I touch it. It does not matter whether I try harder, sometimes in different part of the screen it captures a touch, but there is no rule where.
Further analysis led me to conclusion that it happens when the device is lying. If it does not recognize the touch and I lift the phone and touch while holding it, everhthing is ok.
Anyone knows whats going on?
Ps. Its not a bad device at all, but it seems that the firmware is rather poor. It's a shame because there is a nieche on the market for reasonable hardware with superior firmware and regular updates.

How to download only security patch and not the Android Pie?
Yes that is it. and must to lock and unlock the screen to work again.
You can't have the security patch without the android pie.
No, I dont have to lock and unlock. Its enough that I lift the phone and it works.
With or without screen protector
How it is important whether with or without screen protector when you can clearly see on the movie that the only thing determining if the screen works is whether the phone is lying flat or is held?
Ps. I have a screen protector. Is it unusual?

I've noticed that some screen protectors can mess with the responsiveness of screens, which is why he's asking, I'm sure.

It's clearly not the protector looking at a recorded video. You can find tons of threads about the screen of Nokia 7 Plus. I've checked and I have Novatek, so it's probably that. I have to say that reading all that makes me sad, that Nokia let's the problem live its own life.

Just out of interest, which Novatek version have you got? You can get it from settings - system - about phone and then the touch panel firmware at the bottom.
I have seen that some have had issues with the V07 version. with low brightness etc. Those with just the 07 version seem to have a better screen.
I have the V07 and I have the same issue mentioned here.
Same here. Novatek V07 version.
Had the same problem. Touch became unresponsive while the phone was lying. Once I touch the metal frame it was okay.. not even lifting it. All was solved when I removed the screen protector. It is like I am using a new phone now
So to update you all: I have asked for a replacement. I got another one with V7 Novatek screen (Firmware 1.017.16). I don't know for sure, but the last one had Firmware 1.017.20. Nevertheless, current device does not have described problem with touch when laying. Of course I cannot go below 16% with brightness, but it does not bother me that much. Apparently, the last one was broken.

Cod mobile input lag

Hi all
I have a question regarding COD Mobile with Mi 9T Pro.
The issue i experience is that the touch input at some locations of the screen seems to be inconsistent. For example running, looking around and shooting works perfectly fine. These "buttons" are located somwhere in the middle of the screen. However all the buttons that are located at the lower end (landscape) of the screen seem to be hit and miss. I sometimes need to press up to 3 times until the action is activated.
Now im wondering if this is phone related or a COD mobile issue. Does anyone else have this issue?
Btw i had this issue on stock and on custom roms.
Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, i have one installed. Actually I can not with complete certainty tell you if i had the same issue already before applying the protector.
But in general use i do not experience any touch issues outside of the game.
Do you think it might be worthwile to remove and retest?

i am also having the same thing, when i want to start a match with right thumb( on right corner)- it exhibits that touch issue, but while playing it doesnt.. i need to touch 3-4 times to Start
for reference i have - glazed tempered glass, Indian variant
I have the same issue. my friend has the same issue.
Multiple other k20p users have the same issue in the same place. So have others with other phones as well.
(None of us use a screen protector)
It's a COD issue. It's not optimised for some phone screens.

Thats interesting! Thanks for the information. Do you know of any phones that are optimized for COD and don't have these issues?
Hi... Try this... In settings -> Special features -> Game turbo -> settings -> additional settings -> call of duty -> touch resistant area (set it to none)...
