Just got my North American model. In Chrome, if I accidentally touch the fingerprint scanner “find in page” activates. Since the fingerprint scanner is right where my finger naturally rests when I’m holding the phone, I accidentally activate “find in page” constantly when browsing the web.
I can’t find where to turn this off. Can someone help?
Also found the fingerprint scanner and the L & R triggers annoying when using Youtube app like as if i want to pause the video, very annoying. Would also like to know how to turn off those buttons too. Other then those annoying problems, great phone!
I have the same issue. I bought this phone because it was a cheaper OnePlus 7 Pro, not because I play a lot of games. So, I put some black tape over the triggers because it was getting extremely annoying. Shouldn't have to do that though, I hope a patch is released soon.
It would be really cool if we could get OxygenOS ported to this phone, since they are running similar specs under the hood.
Hi,
Well, that is weird.
Me : those buttons simply are doing nothing.
Unless I set them in "Gaming" mode.
I have installed "Button Mapper" as an app.
That allows to customize the buttons to your liking : not active ; what to do with a simple tap ; what to do with a double tap ; what to do with a long press.
Maybe you can try that ?
Regards.

I am not sure whether it is my mind playing trick with me or not, but I feel like my phone is less sensitive after I did the hard reset (power+volume down). Sometimes I need to press 2-3 times because the first light tap was not detected.
So is there anyway to increase the sensitivity?
I have the same problem, but no idea that is the hardware or only software problem.....
Fresh owner of this Optimus 2X in France, in our community, frandroid.com, we encounter the same problem , I think this is a software issue.
Did someone already contact LG??
Maybe they should include this into the bug list thread.
May I know were you guys having this problem since it is out of the box? or after reset?
I have the same problem started from day 1 till now
I have the same issue and already thought I'd be the only one having this problem.
I would not say it's a problem with sensitivity, but it feels like the touchscreen goes into some kind of sleepmode where then you need to press a second time, to wake it up.
Continuous touching is no problem. (like when typing rapidly on the keyboard)
This video is not from me, but it shows the problem.
Have a look at 13:28 and 13:37. The reviewer tries to hit the "Ackermann" entry, but the touchscreen does not recognize the touch. At 13:37 the guy has to press another time to get the entry selected.

Yes! The touchscreen is definitely less sensitive than my old HTC Hero, and gets quite frustrating sometimes when a scroll misses the first part of the movement or a click is missed.

just in case, are you guys using 20110218 baseband too?
The same problem here. If I unlock the screen and then tap on any on screen apps, I need to touch again for it to open. Only the first time though, after that it function ok. I think this is a bug and needs to be fixed... I have my pc for double-click.
Yep, count me in. Same problem here. Sometimes screen taps aren't registered. Will do some research later on, but I think it's a software problem. (maybe you have to tap 2x as fast )
Hi,
same problem here!
Potentially a driver issue. A Nexus S user had a similar issue in this thread: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/18431-tuning-driver-to-deal-with-unresponsive-touchscreen/
He managed to tweak the driver and it works fine now. Need to know C++ (I think?) to understand though.

I see, then probably they will fix it on the next update/gingerbread?
Same issue here.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the problem seems to be that the screen has zero tolerance when it comes to tapping and swiping together. If you tap and slide your finger a bit directly after the tap, the tap is ignored. In other words your tap has to be a steady tap when you click on a button or an app. Right on the spot and with no swiping or sliding afterwards. I can't reproduce this on any of my other devices.
Ergo, it seems that the natural tapping I'm used to isn't working on the x2. It seems like I have to adjust my tap. I think that this could in principle be solved with a setting somewhere, because clearly the x2 is capable of registering this in for example a web page.
The great thing of this is that you can safely tap and swipe in the app drawer to scroll up and down or left and right. The downside is that a tap with a little swipe isn't registered at all. I would say that LG has choosen here for a wrong setting.
My personal experience about screen sensivity.. can you confirm if it's the same for your device?
I noticed a strange touch response.. and after some tests, I can say that the touch screen and icons are influenced by the surface where the phone was put!
with the phone in my hands, it's all ok (only sometimes - rare - I need to tap more than once).
If I put the phone over a glass surface (like a glass table) without touching it with both hands, the touch and the icons not respond!! NEVER!
If I put the phone on my scanner the touch screen works ok, but the icons not (or only few and rare taps was detected).!
If I put the phone over my big Onkyo amplifier.. It works like in my hands.. or better!! even without touching with hands.. only with a finger!
Put it back on my glass table.. and all stop working again. If I put a aluminium foil under the phone (between phone and table).. the touch and the icons works again !!
If I put it on the bed.. it don't work.
LG support say that they have tested the phone about this issue after my report.. but no strange response was detected by them. I don't know if they really tested it..
Try it and let me know what you think about!
tested on glass surface, I can press and swipe through pages with a finger without problem.
it is true that my device is not so responsive, but aint reaching that level yet
i read about a similar behaviour on other devices because some devices need a proper grounding for the capacitive screen to work correctly. You can find this problem via google.
Some devices have problem in a car-mounting, for example.
But i think thats not the problem the thread-opener talked about?
Guys I'm looking to get this phone and after reading Engadgets review of the X2 where they mention that the screen is not as sensitive to the touch as other phones I got a bit worried and started googling which lead me here!
Is this true? The screen isn't very sensitive and you have to apply more pressure than other capacitive phones?
I know that the OP is talking about a different issue but I reckon LG will get that sorted out via software update, or at least hope so!
Please do post your experience about the screen sensitivity of the X2 as this is putting me off. I currently have the Motorola Milestone 2 which is very sensitive to the touch even with a screen protector on it.
Cheers
Just bought this phone and I realized that when I move my finger the screen starts to vibrate, specially when I move it towards the edges . Then I realized that also happens on some Instagram photos, but also the app stops and I have to turn off the screen to use my phone. Is it an Android fault or a device's one? Thanks
For the vibration thing you can turn the Gesture unlock off at the Settings - if you are not comfortable with that. Try to update you apps, sometimes latest updates help to make your smartphone function better. I have seen that in the case of Maze Alpha.
Hi there,
Tap to wake is a neat feature but I find myself waking up my phone too often by mistake, so I tried to figure out a way to get the old double tap to wake back, but couldn't find out how.
I guess it must be implemented into custom kernel ?
Any advice would be appreciated !
Same, I had to turn this off b/c my phone kept waking in my pocket and changing songs.
I noticed too sometimes my phone wakes up in y pocket, coming from OnePlus it surprised me cause I'm used to have pocket mode. Hope there will be a workaround later.
I replaced the Pixel Launcher with Nova Launcher. Light years better. While there is no double tap to wake, you can double tap to lock the screen then just use the fingerprint reader to unlock the screen. Since owning the OG Droid long ago it seems, I have yet to find a home launcher better than Nova. Worth every penny.
Double Tap - Apps on Google Play
Easy to turn on/off screen without power. Not affected to unlock by fingerprint
play.google.com
Works perfectly on Pie.
As for Q...? Give Google time and they will screw up anything and everything.
I use NovaLauncher too and all my devices for years now. I love it.
But that's not what me and OP are complaining about. We want to double-tap the screen while the phone is laying a table and have it wake up to lock screen. Picking it up and using the fingerprint sensor on back doesn't help.
Lift to Wake works, but you have too, duh, lift it to wake it. We want the double tap for our fingers, but not erroneous dbl tap detections when phone is moving around in pocket or in my hand.
I can't tell you how many times music player skipped forward or back b/c or incorrect dbl taps, waking, and then more taps from my pocket contents or whatever.
I'm using OnePlus launcher port as I'm used to it (and I love the gesture to access hidden apps from app drawer, asking for fingerprint).
And I'm happy with it, I use Gravity box so I can turn the screen with double tap on status bar.
For now I disabled tap to wake, and I use tasker to turn on always on when there's an incoming notification, so that I don't have to wake my screen just to check if there's something new.
I'm confident someone will give us a custom kernel allowing double tap to wake someday !
Seems like there's something wrong with proximity sensor, I noticed that after trying to play with proximity sensor in tasker, it always return 5cm.
Updating to February build did not solve the issue, that could be the reason why there's no pocket mode.
Anybody else with this problem ? (There are several apps that can read sensors and check for proximity one.)
Did anyone ever figure this out. I really like the double tap to wake so I just tap my phone while it sits on table to wake. I never had an issues w/tapping to wake before (LG v35, etc) and I now realize why it is a huge problem for myt 4A 5G -- stupid Google make it tap to wake, not double tap. For me, this cause constant waking and then irritating unwanted activity (music changing, podcasts stopping) while my phone is still in my pocket. Arrrrg.

If your phone wakes up in your pocket, you must have a problem with proximity sensor, i had to remove my screen protector because of that, and now, no more accidental wake up while in the pocket (but i still miss the double tap to wake).
Hey All,
I had a look at game triggers for games like COD or PubG today but it seems that camera module prevents most of them to stay still while playing. Since we have a second screen with touch capability, I was wondering if it is possible to develop an android app to receive touch and gestures from rear display while game booster is open. These inputs would then be used to map touches on front screen. If you hold phone horizontally, one finger stays on rear screen.
Example gestures would be, swipe left, swipe right, and touch or double touch. This would really compensate having a big camera module.
Considering limited options on rear screen is this realistic? What are your thoughts?
Thanks.
I don't think it will work very well
You may eventually be able to remap it to do something but I doubt it would play very well in games since it was never designed with that in mind
You would probably be safer selling it and buying a dedicated gaming phone with extra triggers etc
Their was a guy on YouTube,that figured out a way to use the secondary screen to play game. It's in Spanish if that helps?
Hi guys!
A few months ago I tried Pixel 6 as a replacement for my ageing OnePlus 5 and in the end had to return it because it was sometimes missing screen taps. Now I have Pixel 7 and guess what? The same thing. It is the most prominent when I want to wake the phone up with a tap (Google changed from double-tap, gods know why) and it often fails. I've tried double-tap, tripple-tap, turning off/on various settings, restarting, updating... The same stuff. There seems to be a lot of talk about it on reddit. The same works flawlessly on my Pixel 5 (and also many other things which are failing on Pixel 7).
Going through discussions it seems this plagues Pixel phones for some time and it seems to be some hardware issue.
Have you encountered the same issue?

My works flawlessly single tap, double tap, doesn't matter but I use nova launcher and Iam rooted
I noticed something similar because my 3 XL worked with the slightest tap. My 7 misses taps if I'm not directly tapping with a full press of my finger. If it's just a brief tip tap it sometimes doesn't work. The strange thing is if I'm tapping something on the screen it shows the touch animation, but it doesn't register the tap, so I have to tap again harder, and then it works. Seeing a setting to increase sensitivity makes me thing Google has the default too low, and hopefully can "fix" it in an update.

Nova Launcher, my favourite app!
Seems like some shortcomings of Pixel 7 can be solved using the root access, however it seems crazy I need to root the phone to get the same functions as on a Samsung or a OnePlus phone :-/

Yes, it is as you describe. But don't hope too much, this behavior about missing already animated taps had been reported for Pixel 6 by many people, but Google seems to ignore it or what, they just don't give a care?
I encountered this issue in the beginning. Try the following and see if it solves your phone being unresponsive to tapping to unlock the device. Go to: Settings>Display>Lock screen and turn off Lift to check phone, turn on Tap to check phone.

Hey, same here sometimes. I got a pretty good but cheap tempered glass screen protector with which FP works 8/10 plus using face unlock. Better touch input option with protector is enabled in settings.

Exactly this happens more often and I had that on my Pixel 6 too which I replaced with a Realme GT2 Pro (no problems with the Realme) but on Pixel 7 now again. Still using three buttons navigation bar, and often the taps don't work there too.
LOL f* Google, can't they get their stuff fixed? I mean the company which codes the OS sucks regarding their flagships more than other OEMs which only adapt the OS. Jesus f* christ.
