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?

touchscreens come in verious flavours
the ones our pda have with the coating
wacomm active digitizers which only respond to the pen mostly used on tablet pc's in the high price range
hp have a sensor detect system for their kitcten pc which also seem to work fine and support multitouch like iphone
read about a new tech where the screen itself is a sort of webcam so it can detect touch's and respond to them in kind
said the screen itself could even be used as a scanner
wonder what tech will show it's face in the htc phones to come ...
p.s. wacomm is good for drawing fake rembrandts but poor if you like to click by using headbuts
I don't have the link for it, but I saw this clip on another PPC forum where describing a "two sided" touch screen.
Basically the idea is this: when you use your fingers on a touchscreen you obscure part of the data. So they use a camera on the back of the device plus movement recognition software to see where your fingers are (if you were holding your PPC like a game controller with only thumbs in front of it) and project a shadow of your fingers on the screen.
As if the screen was "see-through".
I tricked my friend into thinking that the mousepad on my laptop was also a scale. Would be pretty cool if the screen on a ppc could weigh small measurements. That way I'd never get chinced again when picking up herb
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.

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.
Anyone else having problems with the sensitivity on fast scrolling? Seems to not be as smooth or compared to the iPhone 6 and HTC One M8 I have been playing with...It's almost too sensitive or something, I can't quite put my finger on it.
Do you mean the effect where things sometimes bounce back while scrolling?

There is an earlier topic about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/help/swipe-issues-t2888154
The phone has an extra-sensitive touch screen because it has a "glove mode", and I'm thinking the effect of the technology for that glove mode isn't completely suppressed when the glove mode is disabled, so the touch screen would still be slightly more sensitive than those of other phones, even when glove mode is disabled.
If glove mode is enabled, the touch screen is so incredibly sensitive that without gloves, it will register a touch when you hover your finger about a millimetre above the touch screen.
I found that for me it helps to use "lighter" and shorter swipes. Also after a swipe lifting my finger a bit higher off the screen than I was used to.
Some people might always have been doing shorter and lighter swipes, hence not everyone is experiencing the problem. It's also been said on the Xperia support forum that not all units use the same glass for the front; some use "gorilla glass", others use "dragontrail" glass. That could also be influencing the touch screen sensitivity/behaviour.
I've adjusted my swiping habits relatively quickly and now I get the bounce back effect only once in a while.
I do hope that Sony comes with a firmware fix to compensate for the over-sensitivity though.

hi, is it normal? happen to my unit also.. quite annoying i can tell.. different with my TX..
Go into developer options and enable "Show touches", perhaps touch the screen a few times then turn off show touches.
Sorts it out for me! I was having a nightmare swiping down to select words in Fleksy.
This workaround will do for me until Sony fix it properly!

I really wish there was a way to turn down the sensitivity. During typing, I frequently have screen presses register as very short swipes, which is incredibly irritating, as I then have to backspace and delete two words.
Not really helping you, but this shows how sensitive the z3c display is:

Touch screens usually respond to metal. The screen of my Z2 tablet does.
My screen is so sensitive I can operate it using my leg... through the pocket. I saw in Z1 and Z2 threads that there is a config file that can be adjusted, however I'd have to root in order to do that, and I don't want to risk losing my warranty (esp. not when reading about glass breaking by itself).
It's not a massive problem -- all it takes is switching off "double tap to wake" and camera launch button. But those are features that are useful. On the other hand, having my phone suddenly switch Torch on, call a random person in my phonebook or reorder icons on the launcher desktop isn't all that exciting either -- not a fan of surprises.
Has anyone else found the Z3 Compact screen too sensitive? (Glove mode is off, obviously.)

On my previous phone (xperia acro s) it often happened that my leg messed with the phone when the screen went on for the alarm going off in my pocket. It was really annoying. I was always afraid that some important settings changed without knowing it.
My screen is so sensitive that I the last couple of weeks only have managed to send a few sms without having to delete several words that are written wrong...!
The speeddialer is also terrible and often leads to wrong contacts...
This phone is by far the worst phone I have ever had regarding these issues!
Is this a sign of a faulty phone or can you relate to these problems as well?
Is there a solution???
My speed dial wasn't working out of the box. Had to make a factory reset, that fixed it. Sensitivity isn't interfering with my writing though. My previous phone was a bit bigger so I had to get used to writing on a smaller keyboard. But why would touchscreen sensitivity be an issue when writing anyway? Are you using a swipe keyboard?
No I'm just using it out of the box settings...? I can see swipe is enabeled but I text normal... I have had to disable autocorrecting words when I write... It is really strange... I have had many different smartphones over the last 15 years and this is by far the most responsive ever tending to be useless because of the many mistakes I make during calls and sms...
I never had any issues what so ever with my M7...?
I have just disabled "motioninput" (roughly translated from danish...) under Xperia-texting and this seems to have helped alot!!!
I'm on the same boat - it's too sensitive compared to my m8. Hoping for update to fix it
You really should try to do what I did and disable motioninput! It really helps ??
I'm on the same boat - it's too sensitive compared to my nexus 4. Hoping for update to fix it
I go into running apps and force stop com.sonymobile.touchscreen.touchfilter.tfpss and it seems to be a little better, still sensitive but at least no bouceback. I should try pm blocking it.

I've tried this as well, but unfortunately no change, I still get bounce-backs when I don't use particularly light and short swipes.
Pardon if this is a noob question, but can you turn this feature off? I tend to use my phone one handed... I'm a heavy user of the notification panel, and what I'm finding is that I typically drag from the corner due to the ergonomics of my thumb and the size of the screen.
Whenever I do this inside of an app, bam, it's minimized into split screen mode. It's happening so often I want to punch things.
So can we turn this feature off? I couldn't find a setting so without an unlocked bootloader I suspect not?
A related question... I'm curious if anyone actually uses this feature with any frequency? I used to do all the usability testing for AT&T's new phone launches and always had trouble coming up with a realistic scenario that wouldn't be better served by just switching between open apps in full screen mode (heck we have a dedicated button for this!)... But I'm only one user, curious what others think.
Idk about turning it off, but I use it sometimes. Screen is a bit small to use split screen to it potential but it has it's uses, like sometimes I watch a video on YouTube while reading the reddit thread that goes with it. Also filling out or replicating forms and applications for jobs with information I don't know off hand. That's about all I've come up with this far.

There isn't a way to disable it without root. The pop-up display can't be disabled either, and I trigger it accidently all the time. Waste of space on a phone if you ask me.
“MultiWindow Toggle for Samsung” allows you to disable the feature. It's available from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nerd.multiwindowtoggle
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.
