Anyone run into intermittent issues on their watch? Sometimes I have to tap 2 or 3 times for the watch to wake. Other times I have to use the power button to wake as even 10 taps doesn't wake it.
I've also noticed general sensitivity issues where the touchscreen has issues like scrolling through the quick settings when dragging down from the watch face.

I noticed that as well

Nope, my watch has been perfectly responsive to touch. Tilt-to-wake is pretty hit or miss, though. Are you on your custom kernel or back on stock?

I was on stock but now custom and saw the issues and this is my first replacement because of this issue. I may just return the device. I'm not happy with a device that can't get basic touchscreen right. My OnePlus One has some touchscreen issues but not this bad. It shouldn't fail to wake after 3+ taps.
Have you tried turning on "Show Touches" in Developer Settings? You might be able to find a pattern of what's not working.

Good suggestion. I didn't see a pattern but it showed when I had the wake issue that that touches always registered in a certain location on the phone. It helped to have ambient on so I could see the touches. It would definitely register them but always near the lower left corner of the screen.
Either way, I returned this device after seeing this same issue two devices in a row [emoji17]. I wanted to have a device that works the way it should. It was fun playing around with something new. The next gen Asus is a possibility but I'm shaken away by them right now. Maybe new moto.

this has happening to me lot now. I could be in the middle of any app and the touch screen will just stop working totally until i lock the screen with the power button and then unlock it.
Just a wild guess, do you have DT2W/DT2S enabled?

Yeah, I do have it enabled currently. Is it really that buggy?

I've experienced some issues with DT2W/S on other devices/roms, even when its a feature enabled by the kernel.
Try disabling it.
I'll be sure to try it the next time I have the issue.

happening here as well. noticed the logo used for the "interruptions" settings menu pops up as an indicator at the top of the screen every time this happens. tried changing around the settings within interruptions with no luck. also have dt2w off. imgur . com/KK7riD

Hardware problem
Il you put two fingers and make some pressure between the front camera end the rear side of the phone, the screen becomes alive
My watch was working perfectly before the 5.1.1 update, but ever since the update, it is slow to wake, unable to swipe away cards from the watch face without opening them, the touch sensitivity is TERRIBLE....have to swipe over and over to get it to register, and for notifications I am unable to select "ALL"...can only select "priority" and "none".
Is anyone else having these problems?
5.1.1 problems are being discussed here if you're not aware:

No problem in starting a new thread, though.

I noticed that the touch screen seems derpy to me too. Something is definitely weird with the toggle shade thingy. I'm having the same problem with selecting "all". You can get it, but you have to find the exact spot below and to the left and tap frantically like a dozen times. I reccomend using the test app in developer settings and open the touch test. It will display a small grid and it will trace all your touches. Don't worry if it says fail. Just notice whether or not its tracking your finger. To get it to pass you have to turn the lines green by swiping in a certain direction. Mine tracks perfectly so, for me at least, the hardware is fine. Definitely a software issue.

Yesterday I installed the Android M preview on my phone, and so I had to do a reset on my watch. Now all of the touchscreen wonkiness has gone away, and it's working fine!
Before I was unable to get the app list to appear by swiping from the right, but only by tapping once. Also, I couldn't swipe in the center of the screen in the mode selector shade, but only above or below the row of icons. Now that's all working as well.
Hi,
I've had my M9 for a couple of weeks now, and slowly getting it to work how I want it to. One thing nagging me is this weird issue I have with waking the device from sleep.
I have tried to disable all the gesture/smart wake features (double tap the screen, etc). The issue I'm having seems to relate to the light and/or proximity sensor. It seems (and I haven't been able to find any info on this, online or on the phone) that there is a feature which will enable the device to wake up when being picked up or taken out of my pocket. This doesn't always work, but sometimes it does. When I pull my phone from my pocket, it will sometimes wake up. When I glide my finger over the front camera & light sensor, it will sometimes wake up. This is a minor annoyance, as I would like to only be able to wake my device by hitting the power button.
It gets really annoying when these 'gesture' wakes start to interfere with the power button wake. For example (and this is happening more often than not), when I pull my phone out of my pocket, the phone is off, then I hit the power button once, and the phone still doesn't wake. Hitting the power button a second time will wake the device. It seems to me that the smart waking is some how interfering with the manual waking.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
Any suggestions for a solution?
Thanks a lot for any help.
This is really odd considering the M9 doesn't support air gestures. Sorry, I have no solution, but is it possible you may have installed an app that may be causing this?
I would think two button push would be the normal, otherwise you could accidentally hit it once and turn the screen on. Do you have Ambient display and pocket detection all turned off ?
Gravity Screen in the play store gives you total control of all that stuff
That for the replies guys.
Clsa, there is no way to disable ambient display & pocket detect because those features do not exist on the M9 (at least... Not that I have found). That's what is bugging me.
I don't think the 2 button press is normal. I've never had to do it on previous phones.
Fernand - not sure if it is another app causing it. I think I have no extra apps installed compared to my last phone.
I just tried Gravity Screen, and it seems to just give me the ability to enable all the features I want to disable.
Any other suggestions?

Settings / Display & Gestures / Ambient display (Wake screen when device is picked up or notifications arrive)
Pocket Detection is part of some Rom Tweaks (insertcoin & viperOne if i remember right)
Hi again, that option is not available on my phone. Do you see it on your M9?
I don't have a custom ROM. Not rooted either.

Yes I have it, but I'm on LeeDroid right now. He adds so much stuff i forget whats "custom" and whats stock
Got the same issue
The power button will ignore the first push while standing by for a long time. Thought it might be caused by apps like greentify?
Hi Ducati, is that a fact or is that just how you understand it? Seems strange that that would be intentional. But it definitely seems to be the case.
I do not have greenify installed either.
Do you get similar behaviour on your One?
After a bit more testing. I can confirm that there are some sort of air gestures on this device. I can wave my finger in front of the front light sensor/camera, and the device will wake.
This doesn't happen all the time, I am not always able to reproduce this. But right now, it is happening. Can anyone else reproduce this?
http://somevid.com/N1OnU8JS
I have the same issue on my M9. Glad I found this thread. Thought my power button was defective.
I can't activate any gestures by waving my hand.
I think it's happening mostly when waking from deep sleep.
I know it's an old thread, but I just installed CyanogenMod 12.1 and I guess my google-fu is rusty. I find that if I hit the power button in quick succession (double click) it turns off the phone. Anyone know how I can stop this?
By quick succession I mean multiple times within 20 seconds
I'm having problems with my Fold 4 not registering taps. I tap a space on the screen and nothing happens. I do it several more times, and finally it responds. I haven't seen a clear pattern yet, because it's somewhat intermittent. Has anyone else seen this problem?
I'm slightly suspicious of the Microsoft launcher here., but I suspect that's because it gets the majority of my taps, it being the launcher. I haven't had that problem in the past.
Just a minute ago I sat down to make a video of what I was seeing in case I thought an exchange might help. It happened on the first try, and I wound up having to press it five times with escalating pressure to finally get it to react. For the record, I have not seen a correspondence between pressure and the problem. I think I just naturally start pushing harder and when it works, it feels like it was more pressure. But when the problem isn't occurring, it takes very little pressure to register a tap.
Not using the Microsoft Launcher, but I am using SwiftKey, and I do have the same issue, especially with the space key. Mostly with the outside screen BTW.
Ah, I should have been more specific. Yes, I've only seen the problem on the outer screen so far. And I'm using gboard for my keyboard.
I've had a similar issue but it seems to have gotten better. Being intermittent makes it hard to pinpoint
I initially transferred apps and data from my Note 20 and was having issues on the outside and inside screen of taps not registering. Finally did a FDR and set up from scratch, haven't had the issue again. I always setup from scratch and took a shortcut this time, lesson learned!

I actually did an FDR last yesterday to try and solve the problem. Naada. It was still there for me.
I'm currently using Samsung's OneHome UI to see if it's something with the MS Launcher. Good god, I hate their launcher!
It feels like the sensitivity on the outer (cover) screen is too low, and combined with much smaller keys on keyboards (I use GBoard) there are plenty of missed hits and no response. Try turning on touch sensitivity and see if it improves ( Setting -> Display -> Touch Sensitivity. Mine went a tad better. I also changed the layout preferences to 'normal' keyboard height and most of my misses are now gone..
I'm having same issue but not with the keyboard but with tapping on apps on the home screen. I'm able to almost reproduce it every time in the middle of the screen. Is there any update on this issue?
I've got same issue that a tap on a app gets no action. Happens occasionally. Must be a bug.
After a factory reset mine has come back too. Hopefully we will get some bug fixes with the September security update.

Same. I never have a problem in application, it's only when I'm interacting with the launcher.
I think the issue is with the refresh rate dropping. I used the galaxy max hz app and increased the base hz on the phone and I'm noticing response being much better now.
I also have this issue on my Fold 4's cover screen. I've always used the debug option to show where I touch, and when my touches don't register I still see the touch indicator, so I can only assume this is a software issue not deciding what to do with the touch. I think One UI might be overly sensitive for gestures, and detects taps as drags/swipes. A mini swipe on an app or folder on the home screen for instance won't do anything (which happens to me frequently).
I've had that problem quite a few times as well, not enough to drive me crazy but enough to be slightly annoying. It only happened when taping on the bottom of the screen. It often registered my taps as a swipe up. I saw the homescreen starting to go up slightly as if it was going to enter the drawer. Then one day I realized it was my way of tapping the screen that was the culprit. The way I hold my phone makes me ever so slightly swipe up as I tap the screen, but only when taping the bottom part, if I tap anywhere else, I don't tend to move my finger up as I tap. Of course, I'm talking minuscule amount of swiping here, probably less than a millimeter. It's just the way I hold the phone and move my thumb, it's personal, and I think everyone is going to have a different experience depending on how they hold their phone and tap the screen. Anyway, I'm not saying "you're using it wrong", because I think it's a problem samsung must fix, as I don't have that problem on any other phone. Probably too sensitive. I just tried to reproduce the problem as I write this message, and succeeded twice in less than 20 tries, so definitely the problem is still there. It's just that now I tap straight on instead of "sideways", and it works just fine. Just a workaround, I know...
Edit: on the cover screen, of course. Inside screen works fine with crooked taps.
Glad im not the only one. On the outer screen i have had times where I have to tap something 3 times for it to register... I never had this issue with my Z Fold 2
So I've recently replaced my screen and I'm getting some strange behaviour with the touch interactivity. I have turned on tap visibility in the developer options and will try and descibe what is happening...
It seems to really dislike some apps, for example on the home screen it is the worst - It sees my fingertip contact when i tap, but its as if i'm holding my fingers down. This is the kind of behaviour in the lock screen too.
The weird thing is though, that I can get to the settings menu through holding the power key > "Side key settings" - and everything works perfectly. In other apps it its also pretty usable - though maybe slightly more laggy sometimes and can hang for a few moments.
I am wondering whether this sounds like a software or a hardware issue to anyone with more expertise? (relatively new to this repair/modding stuff). I have tried downgrading it to a younger version of android with odin but that didn't work. I am also wondering whether rooting might open some possibilities?
Thanks

looks like you have replaced your screen with a non functioning/ not original screen
can you check if FP is working
