Question Anyone else have touch issues? - Xiaomi Mi Pad 5

Hey everyone,
shortly after receiving my Pad 5 I started noticing that I had to press harder on the display for it to register
compared to my phone (OnePlus 7T) so I started experimenting and found out that the display won't register finger nails at all
unlike my phone which I can easily use with just the tip of my finger nail. Is it just a downside to the Pad 5 or is it just my unit?
2023 EDIT: This has been fixed by software sometime during the last 1½ years. I can't tell when they fixed it but I randomly noticed it's definitely gone now since I can scroll with literally just my fingernail touching the screen.

same,you can test touch sensitivity in CIT mode.about system>and tap 5 times on kernel version info>tap on 3 dots addition menu and there is touch test.it feels fine there but in apps its horrible

So you think it's software related and not hardware?

i tested mine in CIT test and inside MIUI for 1 minute.in CIT never fail while in miui every 15% of touches doesnt register at all https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ai0uQHZUHJzpgYdPSPfIcfD4ubHZFw?e=sQ5HB3

I guess I'm glad that it's software related and not hardware but still annoying. I'm using gestures and especially the back gestures fails sooo many times. I'm just confused I didn't hear any reviewers reporting this?

same,i compared to my ipad 2019 10.2 and there gestures is working perfectly after 2 years of extensive use.most reviewers using IOS as main drive,they just do quick paid/ reviews for community and dont care about some touch issues/software issues.did you ever seen atleast one reviewer who always do touch screen test?

So I think I have found the root of evil. I tried disabling MIUI optimizations in developer settings and my touch issues were gone. The pad recognized slight touches and even my finger nails now until I restarted it. After the restart my problems came back and the vanced app was set to MIUI battery optimization again. Then I checked my developer settings if the Pad had enabled MIUI optimizations again and to my surprise it was still disabled. So I re-enabled MIUI optimizations and my touch issues were gone again. Here's my guess: I think MIUI optimizations enabled some sort of palm rejection that messes up the touch screen and I believe that restarting the tablet resets the MIUI optimizations setting without changing the toggle. Example: my MIUI optimizations toggle is set to on but I think the setting is off since my touch issues are gone. I will update you once I find out more.

I've read that increasing "pointer speed" in settings helps with touch issues on xiaomi phones. It does feel better so far but it might as well be placebo...

Wow you're right it actually does work! It still won't register my finger nail but it registers even the lightest touches now.

I've contacted support for this issue. They won't recognize it at all. They just tell me to send it to a service center.

Screen not recording all touch events

I have recently received my G3 32GB (855), however, I noticed the screen is not responding to all touch screen inputs. Id say it responds 8-9 out of 10.
For the record, I'm running all stock, no root, only ART enabled.
I even went to the hidden menu to check double check if there are any faults, but it was correctly recording every time I touch the screen.
It feels like the UI is not responding sometimes...
Any suggestions?
I've noticed that today on mine as well for the first time. Double tap to unlock has been very hit or miss, even with a reboot. I'm totally stock and didn't switch to ART yet. Not too happy about this and will keep monitoring.

If your not looking closely, its easy to assume that it was due to lack of proper contact.
But when I started noticing this issue, I started paying attention to each screen touch and then I felt that I had some misses...

It was to the point that it didn't work on first double tap, didn't work on second double tap, and I slowly and methodically did it a 3rd time with no luck. Had to use the power button on the back. After a restart its only done it once since....kind of weird.
I'm not facing any knock on problems usually, it actually responds more than my G2 I have to admit.
My main problem is swiping thru the launcher.
Even inside apps I can't recall any prob, it makes me feel like it could be related to launcher lag...
I just installed Nova and I'm no longer facing any issues with the launcher not responding to certain swipes. I guess there are more optimizations required for the LG launcher ui
I am having the same issue. I did install one of BodyGuardz tempered glass screen protector. I have art and I am rooted with towelroot.

Not the solution you are looking for but, I have to say, this was the case also on my G2 and G PRO 2. It's an LG thing. Not to bad by any means but noticeable and something that should be sorted.

Maybe you're right about that, I still have my G2, but its running cloudystock 2.0 and Dorimanx Kernel v5.8, so it feels like a different beast.

screen far too sensitive?

New member here, first post.
I had my g4 several weeks ago (uk version). Great phone, however recently the screen seems far too sensitive. Sometimes apps or other features are activating on their own without me pressing on them.
I looked in the settings but havent found a way to resolve this. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Just to clarify a bit more about my issue.
Its like the "floating touch" some phones have, where i can be an inch or two away from the screen but it still activates. More rarely, it seems as if it was activating by sensing light or movement. Strange. Is the g4 supposed to have this type of function?

That sounds like a problem. The G4 is actually known for lacking sensitivity and yours is doing the opposite. enable this settings to see if it is actually detecting ghost touches.
Settings, About Phone, Software Info and tap on 'Buidld number' 7 times. Then go back to settings and tap Developer options, enable 'Show Touches'
if the dots show without your intervention, then it's likely due to faulty touchscreen.
Anyways, do a factory reset and see if it helped.

Does reset solve the issue? , happening on mine right now. Appreciate your feedback. Thanks
Same here, on Imperium and Stock rom, I have the phone since 6 months and it is a really random issue... my bootloader is unlock so I don't know if I can send it to warranty.
For information I have enable the touch "tracing" in developper menu, and when the issue occurred it's getting me perfect vertical line from bottom to top screen, and open a lot of apps..

And from the sound of it... Yours pretty much ****ed, at least to my knowledge. Hardware screwed and no warranty. Just bought mine like 3 weeks ago, and hated it so much. So much hyped, but the experienced is so far ****ty at best.
I suspect mine hardware issue. This seems like it's gonna be the first, and the last LG for me. Even mine with warranty still intact. Blackberry used to give this feeling long ago with their ****ty storm. Now, LG and blackberry can share that same ****ed up grave.
As madgibbon indicates, I was on Accessibility / Motricity / Response time (my phone is in french so i'm not sure if it will be exactly like that on yours) and I have set to "Long".
Since that, the issue is no longer appear, I have also switch to rom V20F (Turkey) with still the same setting for accessibility, and I don't have the issue anymore.
I don't know if it is a hardware issue, my phone falls maybe 4 times but with a case and from a little height, no broken glass or something else.
This is all the things I tried before that ;
Using flipcover (QI charge and quick circle), I have tested the "normal" case but same issue
I had a glass protection, I have removed it and cleaned my screen, same issue
I have done lot of hard reset (i'm kind of full wipe addict), same issue
Only the solution of madgibbon works fortunately, thanks mate
I'm also a bit disappointed by this phone, it is great sure I mean fluid, great camera etc... but I have some little issue that ruin the experience unfortunately (this issue with touchscreen, i'm experiencing issue with my Chromecast too that i don't have with other phones, some heating, I don't find the battery usage so good since MM, can't relock bootloader since now). I don't blame LG because i'm using some of their products and I'm / was really satisfied with : Optimus 2x, Nexus 5, TV, Monitor, Sound Bar. Anyway, waiting for 2016's Nexus and I will see if I switch or not.

Screen problem after all, just picked my phone up from the place that I bought for under warranty fix, and they told me they did replace for a new screen, and all is looking fine and dandy for now. Hope it stay this way, finger crossed. 3 weeks purchased and already this problem. I doubt this thing will last.

Touchscreen issue

IS ANYONE ELSE FACING TOUCHSCREEN ISSUE?
I'm facing some touchscreen issues like notification bar is hard to pull (meaning the edges of the screen is sometimes unresponsive)
Sometimes unresponsive screen while gaming
And the issue is most noticeable when I'm typing (Sometimes keys become unresponsive while sometimes are pressed multiple times even with a simple tap)
I'm not sure if it's a hardware issue or software issue, I'm a bit worried, If it's a software issue then it's fine but an hardware issue will cause me a lot of trouble.
Note :
I'm not using any screen filter app or haven't given any other app to draw over screen permission.

I'm having the exact issue as you described, especially when the battery falls below 50% its even more unresponsive, i tried to use multitouch app then it fails to do more than 5 fingers when flat down horizontally, i asked other whyred users in Telegram whyred Official but they can't explain or others just said its a software issue, so no one really helped me.
I tried to flash all latest firmware of MIUI 9 or 10(except those with ARB 4) and i still having the touchscreen issue, the phone is running perfectly fine in terms of battery & performance its just the touchscreen where i'm having problem, also note that i haven't experienced this on my previous Xiaomi phones that's why i can really tell the difference.
I really love this phone as much as i hate the issue, i hope someone can confirm this issue if its hardware or software related, i would be very thankful.

i have been using aex ,lineage , aosip amd sevral othe custom rom and now RR , yeah all are same problem sometimes. when the cpu load up high , touch issue will appears, but not always.
At least now I'm sure that the issue is software based. Now I can die in peace
I have same issue
After updating to aosp 9.0 pie or pixel experience pie ROM
Yes, I am facing this issue too but I am on stock MIUI ROM (9.5.13). This issue is especially obvious when gaming as the screen suddenly becomes unresponsive randomly and I have to lock and unlock the phone again. It appears to be quite a common issue reported by many users but there seems to be no fix? It's hard to use the gestures as well as I have difficulty swiping up to go home or recent apps sometimes. It's incredibly frustrating
Same issue here.
I have also the same issue. Using aosp 9.0 pie. difficult to pulldown notification when I am in any app. if I press home then it working nice and no idea what is the reason
So, there is still no answer to repair this issue?
i have the same issue on pixel experience rom. When the phone become hot the screen unresponsive.
same issue with my redmi note 5 and miui version 10.0.4.0 its very weird touch problem

I'd assume this would also be an issue on the Global rom?
If so, we can bring it to Poco's attention via Poco community forum.
Otherwise, we'd have to bring it to Xiaomi's attention on the Mi community forum.
I noticed this too but for me it’s the very slight movement between taps where it presumes a gesture is upcoming. It also seems a little worse with a slippery tempered glass protector.
If I make a conscious effort not to move position between taps it works for me every time. Maybe they can adjust swipe detection sensitivity?

Interestingly, don't have problems with double tap to wake, it works always, only with tapping for always on display to quick check time or notifications. Works 1 in 10 times. It's funny, tap, nothing, double tap ok.

Same issue, probably the biggest annoyance for me since I'm almost unable to use 10 second AOD tapping to conserve standby power.
Any power management active?... destroyer of worlds.
Try clearing system cache, and a hard reboot.
Try altering AOD settings or clearing apk data.
Maybe a firmware glitch... they happen.

Already done this to fix my drain problem one day one of receiving the device.
I know Android is just like any other OS installed on a computer sometimes needs clearing of cache, a shutdown of the OS or a manual reboot.
In fact I've done it many times just to make sure MIUI is not glitching on me.

You be amazed how many have no clue or just don't think using of it.
It may be a settings glitch or again some sort of power management running amuck in the background. Play with it...
I posted the issue on Mi Community and Poco Community forum.
Not many people seem to use the double tab to wake feature with AOD set to 10 seconds.
I tried searching on Xiaomi and Poco both forums with keyword double tap and not a single thread for the Poco F3/Redmi K40.

I think youre right bro. If i time my taps perfectly and dont move position between taps, it works most of the time. Same goes for the AOD. Single tap works but it takes almost 2 seconds for the AOD to pop up which is pretty slow imo.
I think figured it out, 3 fast taps without moving my finger always works with AOD now.
Whatever, I'll just leave the posts on the Mi and Poco forum...hopefully they can replicate the issue and improve single/double/triple tap detection with future updates.

Bro did you try single tapping and waiting for ~2 seconds?
Everything magically works now, after I let the battery deplete to 0% (MIUI auto shutdown) for a second time and then charge to 100% (for initial battery calibration).
Of course I won't be letting the battery deplete past 20% anymore after this, and I'll only be charging up to 90% when I have the phone rooted.
I'm pretty sure there some other minor issues with MIUI I haven't encountered yet, but for now it's pretty enjoyable to use.

Might depend on the device. Doesn't use much at all on my Samsung Note 10+.
With AOD touch to view active and phone/text running I use less than .5% @HR.
Never tried deactivating Double Tap on though... it's too useful.
More than likely it's not the culprit. Cloud apps and trashware like WhatsApp, FB, Google system apks are prime suspects.
Easy enough to test...

Question Touch Screen Problem!

hello everyone,
I just bought z fold 3 a few days ago,
after hours of working with I found that sometimes the touch screen(inner display) doesn't respond,
for example, some words don't type when I am typing quickly with the keyboard (just sometimes)
factory data reset didn't help.
has anyone run into the same problem? may be resolved with future updates?
Is it only happening to apps connected to the internet ie is it a connection issue?
The internet's been goofed up in some areas the last few days. Try toggling the airplane mode off/on.
Keep power management disabled for now.
Does it happen in safe mode?
Find the factory test settings for the touch display, test (and calibrate if needed/possible).
If you can't resolve it, return it. Otherwise eyeball every square inch of it like a hawk...
I tested the touchscreen with *#0*# and everything is fine.
just sometimes this problem occurs and I think this may be software problems...
have you z fold 3?

No. Basic troubleshooting.
Samsung will likely release firmware updates to correct this if enough devices are effected. It may be a 3rd party app causing this... try in safe mode. Disable animations for now and see what its got.
I stopped at the N10+/Android 10 and will likely stay in this holding pattern for at least 2 years.
I have two now and they run close to flawlessly.
Both Samsung and Android are having major issues, plus I require a SD card slot. Even issues on the N20U, which helped nix it from my list.
It may be a good year for Fold fans but otherwise both Android and Samsung have dropped the ball and are in a flat spin... in my opinion.
my problem is just like what you see in this youtube video in Time 12:15 and 12:49 . I must double try some times to click some things. this is very annoying on the keyboard and when you are typing quickly.

If stateside you can go to a Best Buy that has a Samsung Experience store. They can do advanced testing on it... allegedly.
I would get it resolved soon or return it for a complete refund.
That ain't pudding and that ain't right... time to have a sitdown with that candyman

Does it happen in safe mode?
Maybe a 3rd party app.
Happen in all apps?

Even reset factory didn't help
I tested the touch screen with "touch screen test" Application and uploaded a video on youtube, you can see here.
It looks fine to me... do you mean latency time?
What are power settings at? Try bumping it up to maximum performance.
Check ram usage.
Is there anyone here with z fold 3 and the same problem?!!!
I only face this problem when I touch the edge of the display with my palm.

I tried to replicate the issue. I downloaded the same app on my Fold 3. I tried for few minutes.
On my device every click is registered. No missing dots.
I have the exact same issue. I addressed it by increasing the screen sensitivity.
Hey, I just noticed it today as well. When I try to type text faster, sometimes I need to double click on letters. I think this problem came with the latest update, because I havent had that problem before. It is frustrating.
I tried to turn on sensitivity option in settings and I will reply here after day or two testing.
seems to be a bit better with that option turned on

The sensitivity option didn't help me.
