Hi there. I have a question regarding the hardware of the X2, in particular about the screen. As you know, X2 has curved screen on the edges and near the front camera, like on other mainstream phones, let's say Redmi's. When I was on Color Os (January, February), and Realme UI (April and May) there was no issue with the edges of the display: it was perfectly rounded, as they should have been. Now I'm using custom ROMs for some time. First ROM I flashed was Lineage OS. I noticed that the edges of the display aren't perfectly rounded, rather "pixelised" (pic related). Every other ROM I have flashed also had this issue. Currently I'm on Corvus OS 7.5, which also have this problem. I'm using a complete dark theme, so it is not so noticeable or annoying, but it exists.
My questions are:
Is that hardware?
Why on Color OS and Realme UI there's no such issue?
Does rmx1992/1993 also have this problem?
How to sell this phone?

I just installed Evolution X rom, the last update, and it has the same problem.
It's not a hardware problem, indeed.
Did you find a solution?

Is the screen responsive when touch scrolling?
I heard and have seen videos of the p20 pro and honor view 10 where the scroll is delayed, by usually 4mm from the moment the screen is touched.
could you kindly install multitouch tester and see whether it is responsive when drawing small circles inside the apps circle?
in the case of the huawei and honor phones it seems to be a software issue as the cursor is registered fine ( as seen seen displaying cursor under dev options ).
but still it is felt as an issue by several users as was wondering how op5t is in comparison.
many thanks!
these phones have nearly same system responsiveness.
50% is determined by the screen they use, so 5t doesn't as good as the iphone x and galaxy s8 or s9. but another 50 % is determined by the software. using oxygen os is more laggy than the custom os such as linage and phenix os .
I finally replaced my screen, but after two weeks the screen some kind of "glare" round the edges of it, I always loved dark themes, this is very noticeable, it happened in my past redmi 3 a day out of the box, so I definitely think is a Xiaomi issue, I'll post pictures of what I'm talking about

Hi! This is kind of light leak (or something like that)
Have you ever contacted who changed your screen?
Maybe with another screen you can solve the issue.
What is your screen vendor? "tianma" or "shenchao"? (check it out dialing *#*#6484#*#* in software version, tp version)
Well, last time I checked it was tianma (with MIUI and stock panel) the dealer told me that the screen was original part. But I think I will not complain, I noticed yesterday that if I use the screen for a long time, it goes slowly disappearing until screen looks perfectly fine, pretty weird tho
Mine is the same too , tianma panel . So dissapointed with xiaomi build quality
I think first thing to do after getting RN5 is to switch colour temperature to cold in setting and use it like that for as long as possible. I did that for first few weeks then switched back to standard mode and so far no ghosting or image retention problem (I'm using my whyred since 18th of May). Tianma panel as well
Sent from my whyred using XDA Labs
What I mean by that, is touchscreen reacting to a finger about 0.5-1mm before you press it, which causes all kinds of problems like keyboard misclicks.
My previous/current phone (Realme) also exhibits the same behavior, which was one of the reasons I wanted change it, but with POCO F3 it's actually a bit worse.
Is there any hope for Xiaomi fixing it in future patches (reading old posts it seems F1 had a similar problem fixed with updates) or could it be fixed with custom ROM/kernel/some build.prop tweak? My plan with F3 was to switch to custom ROM sooner than later anyway, because MIUI is honestly quite dreadful.
Or should I just return it and look elsewhere? But it seems these days overly sensitive touchscreen behavior is becoming a new normal sadly. I think Samsung had a dedicated "glove mode", while having sensitivity in a regular mode being... well, regular. Though I haven't tried any of their latest devices (i.e. S20 FE apparently has all kind of touch issues).
a way to compensate for this is to put on the phone a THICC protective glass. beacause using this tipe of protecion is becoming more and more common manifacturers are probably increasing the touchscreen sensitivity

Yeah, I tried that. It actually works throughout a stack of 5 (!) glasses on top of a stock plastic screen protector. So at least 1.5 mm. Probably even more, it definitely works throughout a thick stack of papers.
Don't see how that is acceptable.

I have Samsung S9 and it suddenly developed this screen tint making it very difficult to use the phone. I installed OLED Saver which made it slightly better but was wondering if this is a software issue or hardware. I was considering installing one of the custom ROMs, but can anyone confirm if that would help with this issue?
I've encountered a problem on many custom ROMs for my Poco F3 and i haven't seen someone ask this question before. While being on a custom ROM, the edges of the display seem pixelated, like they're not smooth, in fact I can see the pixels on the corners. Did this happen only to me? How to fix it?
That can happen, and it's normal. The corners of the screen are rounded, but the displays themselves are still matrices of pixels, which means that they are, in actuality, jagged up to a point.
It means that the ROM maintainer did not create a mask within the android UI to cover/optically correct those edges.
Usually when someone starts including them most will pick it up. If it bothers you that much, you can switch to a MIUI based ROM instead.
