Touch screen sensitivity

On the Oneplus One we had a lower touchscreen sensitivity (not ghost touches) than on other flagship devices. Nothing big but still noticable. For example i could you my old S3 also with the fingernails with the fingers upside down.
I already ordered a 1+3 but I wanted to ask people who already have the device how the sensitivity is compared to other flasghips or midrabge devices.

I've upgraded from a Nexus 5 so I can't compare the phone with other new flagships. However, you are able to use the touchscreen with your fingernail. I have noticed it is more sensitive than my old phone. I hope this gives you some indication.

Nexus 5 touch is good. My friend has it. But if you say that its possible to use it with fingernail im very happy. It isnt possible with the 1+1.

That sensitivity results in me not being able to use Gestures, since keeping it in my pocket keeps the phone awake (cpu usage = battery drain, heating up) .

That seems to be a problem with the fingerprint sensor, not the display. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/oneplus-3-loses-energy-inside-pocket-t3403583
It happens to me also, but with ambient display and all gestures switched off...

Oh well...it might be that I kept my phone faced outwards after I disabled the Gestures. Damn.

One plus 3 heats up

HI frnds
i am using one plus 3 from last 7 days and i feel that phone heats up when it is in pocket..is there anyone facing the same problem.....
help me to fix it........thank u

Do you have anything like smart unlock or lock screen gestures? I only have double tap.to wake and proximity wake off.

HI
I was about to write on this topic. I have had OP3 for just 4 days and I noticed it get warm very quickly. I will be very interested to hear of possible answers. Maybe the aluminum cover has something to do as it conducts heat more than plastic?

The phone heating issue has usually been related to the finger print scanner always scanning even when it's in the pocket. Is your fingerprint scanner active?

Think I've found a solution to this issue, delete your finger prints on the security screen, clear the cache, reboot and then enter just one finger/thumb and the heating up problem seems to have been resolved!
3 since I found that solution of the OP forum I've had no heating up problems and my battery life seems to have drastically improved.

Does your OP3 become a flaming ember?

I love my new Oneplus 3 which I've had for less than 4 days. Everything's great except one thing: the phone get super warm when we go outside. The battery temp reads at 37C to 38C. The phone has not yet malfunctioned due to temperature, however it feels very warm to touch. And I'm not even using it much - it is either idle in pocket, or it plays audio via headphones.
I know it is summer, and temperatures outside are scorching, but have two other phones and they do not produce that effect. I am speculating that it might be the aluminum casing of OP3 that conducts the heat more easily than plastic on other devices.
Does anyone experience the same with their OP3?
What should be a good battery temperature for an idle phone in summer when it is around 35C outside?

Try disabling all gestures and fingerprint sensor.

Mine has never gotten hot before and I'm on it all day. I have my gestures turned off, night mode enabled as well as sRGB. My brightness is set to probably 20%. I only have notified actions enabled for apps that actually need to notify me.

I've got all gestures and fingerprint scanner left on. No issues here. Although there is a known issue with the fingerprint scanner activating while the phone is in a pocket causing heat and battery drain. Disable the scanner or turn the phone away from your thigh to remedy.

That's normal. Move on.

Thanks guys. I will disable gestures and fingerprint scanner, and see how it goes.
I know 38C is not high for a battery, so the more strange it is that the device feels so very warm.

it's the metal...it's my first time my phone doesn't have a plastic back, i wondered the same. the temperature in your pocket will make it always feel a bit warm. if they say "cold" they mean it doesn't have got any heatspots

I have the OP sandstone case on mine. Heat is a non issue. My Moto X pure though, that hot as was my HTC m7

Screen turns on in pocket 7.1.1 NPF10C

If I cover the proximity sensor and try to turn the screen on, I'm successful. That's with both power button and fingerprint sensor. It didn't do this on the most recent 7.0, has anyone else had this problem? Androsensor shows the proximity sensor is working.

Do you mean while in a phone call? I'm running NBD90W 7.0 and the proximity sensor doesn't prevent me from turning the display on while not in a call.

No, I mean while the phone's not being used. I used to be able to set my phone face down, touch the sensor, then it'd vibrate like it accepted the fingerprint, but the screen would stay off.

Interesting because I don't think that was ever supposed to be the case. I've never read that being a feature on the 5X nor Nexus 6P. Are you certain it wasn't just auto brightness? Cuz on mine, with auto brightness enabled, I can reproduce the scenario you are referring to. The phone does look "off" but it's just extremely dim due to the sensor being covered. Happens all the time when I'm in my car since I leave my phone in the cup holder.

I just checked my wife's phone, and you're right, her screen comes on. She's on NBD90W. Maybe it was on MM? Anyway, it's super annoying because my screen will turn on in my pocket and the emergency dialer will get hit. Then it's just pushing buttons for over an hour. (While at work, phone in front pocket)
Edit: I just remembered that this is a replacement device, received about a week ago. Maybe the old device was actually glitching in a good way? I just figured it was NPF10C because I've only really noticed it since I installed that version.

This sounds like Ambient Display is turned on?
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

No, I've turned ambient display and the similar new motion in the Moves menu.

I'm trying the app, Pocket Screen Lock to see if it helps. It could be that my power button keeps getting hit, but I don't know how. I do move around a lot at work, though.

I'm not sure else it would be. I'm leaning towards the device possibly having a defect. Have you tried going back to 7.0 and resetting it there? I can't try 7.1.1 until it's official so I'm limited in what I can suggest.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

No, I haven't. At this point, I'm going to stick with the pocket screen lock app, because I'm hoping to avoid wiping the device. Thanks for the help, even though you were mostly just a sounding board. It really did help out.

Stopping Sensor: Significant Motion Sensor

Hey Everyone,
So I noticed that I have a horribly excessive battery drain coming from the significant motion sensor. I have done a fair amount of research and found out that that sensor is activated when the phone is picked up, moved, or in a car or other means of travel. Thing is, I'll have my phone laying overnight not being touched yet in the morning I will that the significant motion sensor kept the phone awake a good portion of the night according to BBS. So, does anyone know how I can stop this from waking my phone up and keeping it awake for so long? It is causing a horrible battery drain. Thank you!

No one has any ideas?

It is weird, have you turn off the motion options under settings?

Where is that setting located? I can't seem to find it. Thanks.

In settings, under display, gestures and buttons. Last Option

I can't find a link to this app, but there is a disable sensor xposed module. See https://repo.xposed.info/module/com.mrchandler.disableprox
