Sensitivity - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

Is there a way to increase the touch screen sensitivity on this phone?
Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk

No. The touch interface is pretty slow and inconsistent compared to better phones. You will have to live with it.

I'm noticing this phone has a lot of issues... I was pretty excited at first, but now I'm more I'm really undecided among phones with similar specs (moto g5s plus...)

what is the problem with touch that you are facing?

I don't have any issues with touch sensitivity, how do you see that ?

One finger touches are fine and accurate it's when you use 2 thumbs when playing games. Sniper type games are the most noticeable, while using my left thumb to aim it doesn't register my right thumb tapping the shoot button unless I press really firmly also if I hold the shoot button the aiming get notch too but I only noticed it after the September update and not sure if it was there before that

Do you use screen guard for your mi a1? I don't know if your screen guard is the problem or something else though. If you use screen guard, try to remove it and see if it solved. Hope this works.

Galaxy Note Wiyh SoftKeys

Hi
Which one is better in CM9 in your opinion?
With SoftKeys?
Without SoftKeys?
I don't get why youd even want softkeys, why would you want to waste a portion of your screen with keys that you have already have anyway
i didn't buy a device with a 5.3" screen because i like wasting screen real estate...

Tablet mode with touch keys is how i use it now.
I even disabled the original menu/back button, cause i touch them while typing.
Soft keys for the multitasking button. With such a large screen we can easily afford to waste screen real estate.
Also softkeys are not good for our SUPER AMOLED screens, they will be permanently burned to your screen after a few months!
No kidding!
Read about the AMOLED burn-in problem on Google.

So will your status bar.
I personally love the onscreen buttons. I disable the other ones and disable the backlight as well. I do this for the fact that my kids and I would constantly back out of things when grabbing the phone landscape. I like the fact that with the onscreen you have somewhere to grab the phone without backing out. And although not a big deal, its less stress not having to press the big button, and this I would think would help the longevity of the hardware button itself . But in the end, it's purely preference, oh and I don't worry about the burn in as I have mine set very low so its just noticeable and It moves when I open apps and when I go landscape.

I think that was so freaking obvious so I didn't mentioned it.
Point is, why have yet another static object on screen?

That is the main reason why I enable software keys on every ICS ROM I try! When you try on-screen keys you will feel how LONG it takes to launch the recent apps panel using the long-pres on Home button! Add to that I got very used to multitask using the recent apps softkey then physical button will only hinder my speed and will wear out in a matter of couple months
I've flashed the soft keys and disabled the back lights of the hardware keys, but how do I completely disable the hardware keys so I won't press them by accident?

I think its so freaking obvious that you're gonna have a burn in (allegedly) regardless.
Point is, why even bother trying avoid a screen burn in if its inevitable.

Point is if u enable softkey , ur status bar blend in with the keys to to bottom of the screen. Where is the another static object comes from? It is still one black bar just different position.

Have to quote this again so people are aware. Amoleds are notorious for ghosting due to pixel wear out burnout whatever you want to call it. Using the ICS on screen virtual buttons will surely destroy your screen.
That's why I also autohide my notification bar on the home screens.

Burn out is avoidable provided you don't leave static images on the screen for long periods of time. With the notification bar it is always there unless you use a launcher that hides it on the home screens and apps that have the option to hide the notification bar as well.
I use opera mobile so I can browse in full screen and not worry about static notification bars. Also use launcher pro so I can hide the notification bar.

How did you disabled them??? Is there an easy way?
I like to use the softkeys simply becuase it allows me to completely disable the capacitive buttons and use my s pen to go back, home and bring up the multitasking window pane :good:

That's one of those old wives tales.
The burn-in isn't so much related to the technology as it is related to build quality.
Most of those issues are stemming from Gnex owners, and the ones with problems usually have other build quality problems too... they just were unlucky to have a bad batch that skipped QC.
I've got a friend who had the Gnex from day one, and to this day... no burn-ins!
I would normally prefer physical buttons (ftw) but I'm going to have to agree that the Note needs "soft buttons" aka on-screen Navigations.
Why?
Because it gets annoying shifting finger to stylus and back again during the daily use.
Bonus reasons:
- without it, the device looks much better (like the Gnex or N9)
- these can be customized for colour, glow, function and gestures

Wavy Portrait Scrolling

Has anyone noticed that when scrolling through text in portrait mode (PDF's, web pages), the left side of the screen (bottom in landscape) lags behind the right side (top in landscape) enough to where it produces a wave effect? It's pretty darn noticeable.
I'm planning on sending my tablet out soon to be repaired for the screen hopefully, so I'll update this if it ever gets fixed.

Yes, it's normal.
Is there any reason why it does this?

I think it's just the graphics hardware trying to keep up with all the pixels it has to refresh.
IPad 3 and 4 have the same problem.

It's weird though because it only happens in portrait mode, not landscape.

The way the screen refreshes the side farthest from the camera always lags behind the side nearest the camera. The lag probably still exists in landscape, but in that case the delay would cause a slight compressing or stretching of the image. I'm guessing the delay is there, but just harder to notice.

Capacitive Button Visibility?

Hello everyone,
If any of you have S5's or have used them, can you comment on the visibility of them when they are switched off?
Something that really irks me is if the capacitive buttons can be seen when they are not being used, an I plan on rooting and disabling the capacitive buttons from the get go, and probably using PIE controls when/if they are available. Also if nthey are/not visible, does it depend on the color of S5?
Thanks

Phew, thank you, I wasn't really interested in the white as much.
It's just because of the images on the 3UK site, in which the buttons are visible.
In terms of mobile phones that has to be one of the strangest concerns I have ever read about.

It is pretty odd now that I think about it, I just hate capacitive buttons for no reason really. On the plus side I get the full 5.1" real estate.
But what KILLS me about this particular phone is that multitasking is on the *wrong* side of the button layout.

Screen rotation question

Any body know of a way to enable 180 screen rotation? I'm finding sometimes my hand blocks the speakers when browsing and watching videos. Might be better holding phone upside down with these new fancy on screen disappearing buttons

I believe there might be an app in the Play Store which could help. I haven't tried it yet. Look for Rotation Control. The first one that comes up has 4.5 star rating. There's several though.

My s8 plus screen along with home, back and app buttons were all able to flip 180 degrees upside down esrlie r but i can no ponger find a way to replicate this....

Improve touch sensitivity

Hi, is there any way to increase display touch sensitivity? Im asking because I use a screen protector and its really unsensitive.
Maybe is there a way we can change/modify/downgrade/upgrade our touch screen firmware.
Does anybody know which touchscreen firmware we have?

Switch to a better screen protector. The 'full glue' ones have better sensitivity than the ones with 'dot matrix' especially in the corners.

I think I have the glued ones, its not bad, but it just slightly less sensitive. Typing on keyboard is a bit tricky, but I got used to that.
