Multitouch problem - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

It seems like my phone cannot register more than two fingers in the MultiTouch Tester and in Dumb Ways To Die, the three fingers screenshot works but what is weird is that when I use two fingers, then add the third, all the touches disappear in the app and when I use one after that it shows that I am using two fingers (when I am actually using just one) and the second one is 'stuck' where I had my second finger before. Can anybody check if this is only me? Using the open beta 8 (nougat)
EDIT: after switching off the three fingers to screenshot function, it suddenly shows the proper ammount of fingers I am using and I can actually use all of my fingers, probably a sw bug in the beta?

Hmm, I'm on 3.2.7 and multi touch works great. I use gesture navigation module, three finger swipe down = screen off. Works without flaw.
What beta are you on?

Beta 8, I have found out it is a known bug caused by the three point screenshot feature

[Q] Problem while using Chrome on Note 8

I am using my Note 8 N5100 since last two months. I mostly use Chrome as my default Internet Browser.
Recently I have updated the chrome app (The update brings a nice feature: full screen navigation). Since then I am having this peculiar problem.
1. A part of the web-page usually getting hidden under the navigation bar. If there is any link in that area, it is nearly impossible to click on that as it is hidden.
2. Tapping exactly on the link is not working always. I have to tap a little lower to select the exact target link. Surprisingly this problem does not exist if I zoom the page and tap on the desired link.
This problem is only with chrome browser. The stock android browser/dolphin/UC works fine.
This is my first week with my new brown note 8.0 and I noticed the same issue. In just went back to stock browser and will wait for next up date for chrome and hope it fixes it.
Same issue as well.

I have the same issue.
I think your problems 1 and 2 are the same problem.
The link you touched is in the correct place, but the page displays a little bit higher.

This is a known issue and they are working on it.
I'm also having this issue, hopefully it'll get fixed soon
Here's a workaround using Xposed Framework:

Actually, just download the Chrome BETA which was refreshed this past Thursday. It fixes the issues you describe and works extremely well on my Note 8..

help with calibration

I started to notice where I tap on the screen isn't where the Note registers even with the pen. It doesn't do this all the time but when I'm browsing, I would end up "clicking" on the wrong link. When I'm using adobe reader, the pen works great and accurate when I'm highlighting and underlining. Works fine in candy crush. It's when it comes to a busy screen and need to be accurate as to where I "click", the Note just give me attitude. Is this a defective item? Seems worse on landscape too.
HELP!!!
I noticed such inaccuracy with chrome after last update While working just fine with any app. I think its app dependent

Hum..... I think you're right. Went to craigslist on stock broker and it was pinpoint accurate. Bummer... I like using chrome too. Hope they fix this issue.
I have the same problem with Chrome on the AT&T Note 8.0. It also won't scale websites correctly, and the upper toolbar covers the tops of the website, where there are usually buttons for the site. (home, logout, etc.)

It should be fixed in the beta version of chrome (android).

Chrome for Android is a joke. Google should be ashamed of that mess. It's amazing that OEMs stock browser and even the AOSP browser puts Chrome to shame. Google really needs to double down on it.
Are you using a cover that has a magnet? if so try to pull it out off the cover and try again. I notice a difference after taking it out from my casing(I didn't know it could cause this problem) I also didnt know that there is no option to calibrate where as my previous palm pilots and treo. Wish they could have added that option to calibrate.
Chrome's new hide the tabbar behaviour is responsible for the offset issue in Chrome, and is fixed in Chrome 29 (currently in beta).
In other apps I have experienced no offset or accuracy issue. I believe there's a guide in the forum about tuning the S-Pen by popping the button cover off and monkeying.

Touchscreen goes haywire when running a gamma test pattern

I've tried the multitouch test apps and they show no issues, even when I'm dragging all 10 pinkies around. I also haven't experienced issues in general use or other apps yet.
However, when displaying gamma test patterns, the screen goes crazy, as you can see in the attached video. I've tried a few different similar display testing apps and they all have the same result. Very odd indeed and I wonder if anyone else can test to see if they have the same.
Note that I've enable show touches in developer options to better visualise the issue.
I'm fully stock with the latest version.
The app in the video is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester
Same thing happens to mine. Weird stuff.

Just tested on my old Nexus 7 (2011-2012) just in case that it could be a strange behavior with all nexus: No problem, no reproducible behavior like this in the video.
woah freaky, same here on n7 2013
Same behavior here on CM 10.2
Same here. First time I tried, it was fine, but it borks up now.
Me too, except I FC almost immediately. Surely this isn't related to the multitouch issues? I'd guess it's because the app isn't designed for the ridiculously high pixel density.

If it was just FCing then I'd definitely say its purely an app issue. But the fact the screen thinks it's actually being touched all over the place could well be related to the hardware issue.

[US BETA 3][ZSL5] Official Android 10/UI 2 BETA for the US unlocked Note 10+ (N975U)

READ THE OP FIRST BEFORE POSTING!!
This thread is for discussing bugs, issues, work around, and suggestions for the beta for the US models. Please no discussion of the international models. There's already a thread for that, and I don't want to confuse bugs/fixes for the wrong model.
If you have the international model (N975F), please see @henklbr 's thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...laxy-note10-sm-n975f-official-oneui2-t3987433
Stay on topic. This thread is to discuss issues with the beta, not how to get it. There's already a couple threads for that as well. The basic step is to sign up for the beta in the Members App, or download the OTA from firmware.science. For further assistance, please see @tlbland0426 's thread at:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...available-note-10-unlocked-sm-n975u1-t4002783
When posting your issues, please state what software version you're on (current one is 2ZSL5), and if you did a dirty flash, restored data, or did a complete clean install.
I know this isn't an official channel to report to Samsung, but bugs discussed here can be forwarded to Samsung in the beta app.
Please read the OP and the entire thread before posting.
Been running the beta (ZSK3) for less than 24 hours. I did officially register, and started to download the OTA through device settings, but it requires WiFi. I was at a hotel and the WiFi there was achingly slow, so I went to firmware.science so I could just download the OTA with LTE, then manually flashed it through recovery.
I performed a clean install. Factory data reset, flash OTA, then another factory data reset. Then I set it up from scratch. I didn't restore anything.
Here is my experience so far:
Pros:
1. Dark Mode - I love the native system-wide dark mode.
2. Space below keyboard - I use gestures and GBoard, and I like how now even third party keyboards are pushed up a bit, and you have the keyboard switcher and close keyboard buttons.*
3. Charge Status Toggle - Ability to turn off the charge status. (Thank you Samsung!)
4. Fingerprint Icon Toggle - Ability to turn the fingerprint reader icon on or off.*
5. Improved Biometrics - Fingerprint reader seems to work MUCH better now. Even with the last few updates on Pie, my FP reader was almost worthless. Now it's nearly flawless.
Cons/bugs:
1. Brightness Slider - No longer able to display brightness control on top in the notification shade. I use the brightness slider a lot, and it's frustrating having to fully expand the notification shade when I want to adjust it.
2. Gestures - The new gestures aren't very intuitive. I prefer the gestures from Pie. I know I can still use those, but I'm really trying to get used to this style, since it's what Google will push everyone toward anyway. This system of gestures is Google fault not Samsung's.
3. Home screen Jank - I occasionally get issues with the home screen freezing. Seems to be when I'm having issues with the gestures, particularly getting Google Assistant to activate via swipe.
4. Syncing issues - There's several Samsung apps/services that will not sync. Samsung Pass, Samsung Internet. Samsung Contacts, and a few others. Under Samsung account settings, when trying to sync them, they say "syncing" then change to "Couldn't sync." This occurs in WiFi and cellular.
5. Disney+ - Not compatible from the Play Store. I was able to install it, log in, and watch movies with a work around, so I know it works. Not sure if this is Disney's problem, or Samsung's. I know it works on other devices running Android 10, so who knows.
6. Netflix - this could've been my issue. I was in the Netflix beta program, and Netflix installed, but kept telling me to update, then telling me it wasn't compatible. I had to leave the beta, and sideload an older version from apkmirror. Working fine now.
7. WiFi issues - It connects to WiFi just fine, but some apps wouldn't load or allow me to sign in while on WiFi. See below.
8.. VUDU - It would initially force close. I deleted and sideloaded an older version that would freeze on the load screen. Updated that version through the Play Store and it wouldn't force close, but would freeze. I was on WiFi and when I turned it off VUDU loaded. (WiFi was pulling 250 Mbps down, so it wasn't the issue).
9. Hulu - When I tried to log in, it kept saying couldn't reach server. Again, was on WiFi in a restaurant pulling 250 Mbps down. But once I shut off WiFi, it signed right in.
10. Full Immersive Mode - This option is still missing in Samsung Internet and most video apps. It works just fine in YouTube and Disney+. We should have the option of using full Immersive Mode at least in the internet browser. As far as movies, make the rounded corners on the black bar less rounded.
Disney+ app workaround. See below.

Download all 4 files from here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-QC8B-Cic3gU00CF3u1pYvP-zWZ663nG
Install the SAI.apk
After that has been installed open that app and then select Install APKs
Select the 3 other apk files that you downloaded then click Select (3) and it will install the working Disney+ app

You actually can put it back on top, you just need to set this.
Just press the 3 dots when pulling the dropdown menu, then select the quick layout panel
No issues with Disney+ and Netflix either

Thank you!!! Not sure why they hid that option.
So you were able to download and install Disney+ from the Play Store while on the beta?

Yes no issues with that, but i cannot remember if i installed the apps before i upgraded...
One of the only real issues I'm having is with the new gestures, mainly the recent apps gesture. When using it straight from the home screen it works like 50/50 for me and sometimes causes OneUI Home to crash but using it when you have an app open it seems to work much better.
Edit: (2ZSK3 obviously). I got the OTA through the beta registration and had some issues because I had #hex installed so I did a factory reset. I did however restore everything from Samsung Cloud afterwards.

It still shows as incompatible in the Play Store for me. Go to the Play Store and look for Disney+. Below the unsintall/open buttons, tell me if you see a message in red lettering that the app is now incompatible with your device.

Yes, the recents gesture from home screen is very wonky. I had some home crashes too when I first installed and set everything up, and I actually wound up doing another factory reset to get rid of them.

I have been running the U1 firmware on my Verizon Note 10+ since the day it launched. It retains wifi calling, volte calling, and visual voicemail. The only thing missing that I've found so far is native video calling in the phone app but that wasn't a big deal to me as I never use it anyways.

How'd I miss that! Thank you!
Also found doing factory reset after installing this that whatsapp would no longer verify my number.
So today I sent several feedback reports to Samsung through the OneUI beta app. Please keep the feedback coming. In my experience with past betas, Samsung really does listen to our feedback when it's directed through the proper channels.
Besides the new animations I don't see anything really worth writing home about. It's beta so there's quite a bit of bugs. Android auto on my android 10.25 screen exhibit a buzz and audio moving from car to phone sporadically. The new gesture navigation is not as easy to use. I much prefer using Pie control (which is not 100% compatible now) for launching home, recent, and back. One handed operation to swipe diagonally up to shrink the screen. Diagonally down to bring top of the screen down. I've also seen more battery drain and on screen fingerprint isn't as accurate anymore. Beta 2 is supposed those 2 things. The one UI lock up is also being addressed.
I'm hoping beta 2 will soon be releases for US unlocked. Otherwise, I think I will switch back but dreading that as it will factory reset my device.

Beta 2 was released this morning finally. I agree this is one of the buggiest betas I've tried in the last few years. I'm the opposite of you with the fingerprint reader though. It was almost useless on Android 9. On this beta it's much faster and more accurate. Works nearly 100% of the time for me. Although it seems more sensitive to the screen being dirty.
Beta 2 has been released
I awoke to a notification that beta 2 was released. Below is the changeling from Samsung.
[ Beta Software Update )
:l S/W Version
- ZSKH

after that, the screenshot of recent window is captured
- Keybaord is cut at the bottom
- Keyboard can't be resized
- Two contacts app display after update
- Application that has been removed from the folder and
laced on Home Screen disappears
- After update, app shape changed to Android app shape

- Improved gestures interactions, some problems have been
axed.
:l Known Issues
- No scrolling in widget state.

device.
: Disappears when unlocking with fingerprint icon displayed
)n lock screen
I took the OTA this morning and it seems to be running ok so far. The screen flickering was something I saw alot on beta 1 and that seems to be corrected. My battery life was pretty good on beta 1 also so I will have to see how this performs. Thought it was interesting it has the December security patch already.

My lack of patience and frustration with beta 1 got to me and downgraded to 9 over the weekend. However I did not deregistered for the beta just in case I want to try future betas. The one most frustrating for me was audio output going from car to phone and vice versa when using android auto. I did report it so maybe it will get addressed in beta 3.

Question Software Annoyances!

Hello everyone,
Just received my new phone a few days back. Love how it looks, my first ZTE phone.
A few questions:
1. When I set maps navigation, and press home, it won't go picture in picture, the screen flashes like it's going to, then does nothing.
2. In most apps swiping back or home button requires a second swipe for confirmation. Can this be disabled, as just my other phones didn't have this with maps or many other apps?
我的 LINE 也沒辦法正常提醒。
1. It works well on mine with Google maps. I think you probably need to go to settings of that navigation app and allow picture-in-picture
2. If you don't want the confirm, you need to turn off the "full screen anti-false touch".
XDA members, I am having issues with trying to close ALL background apps on my Nubia 8 Pro. What occurs on my device when I attempt to close all background apps, there is always 1 remaining which I have to swipe away manually??? There aren't any locks on my apps, and it happens randomly. I don't understand why this occurs when I hit the circled "X" to close and afterwards it states "Accelerated".
Any thoughts??? It is very annoying to say the least.
Same problem, except when I check all my apps are still opened lol.

Exactly right!!! Little nuisances like this are what is causing me frustrations! I am hoping this gets fixed in a software update release soon or custom ROM's.
There is also the issue with blocking Heads-up pop-ups in apps. They still continue to occur.

Yeah I'm coming from a Xiaomi 12S Ultra. Big differences in software. MIUI 14 is very crisp and finely trimmed.
Red Magic as a first experience from a software perspective has not been great.
Hoping for an update soon. So far issues with swipe gestures, fingerprint takes much too long to register, multitasking is an issue, should be able to remap things like the switch on the side, and the shoulder triggers.
There's a lot of work that needs to be done.
Beautiful design though.
So I'm reading on the reddit thread that there are certain fingerprint animations that make the fingerprint recognition better and faster. Anyone confirm this one and maybe suggest the best animation?
That wouldn't make any sense. It should project the same amount of light through for detection no matter which animation.

Yet I just received a response from him saying that with the 4th fingerprint animation counting from left to right he hasn't missed a single one today while yesterday he had a 70% success rate. How is your fingerprint sensor? Any fails? Which is your animation?
Good day, I am experiencing this capped 5g connection using rm8, speed is capped at 34-ish mbps, while 2.4g is at 150+, using same network with galaxy note 9, both bands reaches 200+mbps

Hi , can you tell me what's happened with multitasking ?
The latest update has fixed this issue.
Register the Same finger Multiple times!!!
I have the same Finger registered 3 time and I have yet to have a problem.
it does have issues with just 1 register.
I can say that the Fingerprint reader in my Asus ROG 3 phone was way worse then this one.
i couldn't even use the one in the ROG phone

China OEMs are like that. Even Oneplus oxygenOS, xiaomi MIUI also the doing the same. If you are using whatsapp, and u cleared the recent tasks at the whatsapp screen, the whatsapp will still be opened. The only way u can clear all recents is to exit from whatsapp first to home screen, and clear all.
I dont even get the reason why they do that and cant just clear everything from the recents page
I also realised PIP in youtube doesnt work when using gesture navigation. The only wait to trigger PIP to work for youtube is to keep swiping back till the youtube app exits..
Just by swiping up to home screen doesnt trigger PIP

It does pip if you swipe to home when you are in fullscreen mode or when you press a notification from another app. Same happens for every app that supports pip that I have tried.

@GodKingKnight, have there been any improvements in the UI and those pesky nuisances that plagued the RedMagic 8 Pro since the past few updates have rolled out? I ended up selling mine to go with a folding device, but I am considering picking it back up again.... that is given the firmware updates have addressed much of the issues that plagued the device in its initial release.
