Touch issues - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Got my phone this Sunday. I had LG G2 previously. Performance and battery backup wise this phone is comparable to G2. What bugs me is the touch performance. I can't seem to make horizontal swipes work properly. Majority of the time, the phone detects it as vertical swipes.
I then have to scroll down again and very precisely swipe left or right. Anyone else have this issue. Note that the same apps and my swiping methods have worked flawlessly with G2 which I had for more than two years.

Yup even happenes to me... Especially clearing the notifications,...
But it doesn't happen in CM!!!

This is certainy an OS issue, try updating to global beta or, to diagnose the problem, go to developer tools-> show touch information, and if you see some weird shaping lines and not the actual line you drew on the screen, with a little overflow, you might have a hardware problem.
Hope this helps

That is absolutely a relief knowing that it doesn't happen to CM. So It's definitely just an MIUI issue. Thanks for letting us know.

The same problem here in my mi5 (rom MIUI 8 Italia based on latest china developer)

The same problem for me: Mi5 (rom MIUI 8 Italia based on latest china developer).
Horizontal swipes seems too sensitive

I installed cyanogenmod and the touch gestures works Pretty good! Maybe miui 8 calibration has to be patched

Any news about this issue?

it isn't hardware issue: I installed Cyanogenmod rom and with it touch sensibility is ok

I also have some issues while using the official miui global rom. But with both, cm13 and cm14.1 everything works flawless! So you should think about flashing it and seeing if its a hardware issue.

Welcome to the club, I had already a indentical tread like this, same one! To me this touch it's so annoying, because I constantly have to do something on my oneplus x brothers phone and my previously Xperia z5 father's phone, and the touch of then it's so much smoother... If I had knowledge of this issue previously it certainly would have been a deal breaker.. Im waiting for my boot unlocker SMS from Xiaomi... My biggest fear it's that the camera quality be much worst on CM 13, it is??

You are right. Been to CM13, and now back to MIUI 8 because I need the camera quality of MIUI. Well, its just now a matter of preference to me.

I have some problems with touch on my Mi5.
I'am on global developer (official ota) version, and I have sharp lcd on my Mi5.
From time to time, touch is loosing smoothness and look like is ''brooke''/not perform normal.
When this happens, only resete helps.
Right now, 2 days works normal.
Before thet, 10 days was normal, and than problem was there.
Is it any solution, but I want stay with MIUI?
Thanks and best regards.

The touchscreen is not working properly with the Nillkin Tempered Glass applied.
Every time I charge my phone with my Blitzwolf QC 3.0 charger, I have issues with the touchscreen. To resolve this, I need to reboot the phone. After the reboot, the touchscreen response is back to normal.
It looks like the charging changes the way the capacitive touchscreen works. Until I reboot the phone.

It happens the same to me, after charging the touch responsiveness most of the time is very slow and buggy, a reboot is needed. I'm on LineageOS and have tempered glass on, but can't remeber which one.
I'm happy to find that somebody else has this issue since I was thinking it was just on my phone, but this seems to be some kind of different issue then.

I can confirm that Xiaomi Mi 5s 3GB 64GB Golden version with Global 8.0.3.0 MAGMIDI Stable has this issue, the touch screen is not reliable, sometimes we try to swype horizontally and it understands a vertical swype, in other hand, it also happens that you touch the screen at one point and it thinks that you were holding the screen on that pointing, popping out a holding option.
I reported on Xiaomi's official forum, it's good to report there in order to get their attention.

The second issue you're reporting happens to me only with xMIUI xposed module, I activated 'expand notification with one finger swipe downward' and I has that issue too, but I don't have it without that module. Could this be your problem?

Is there any rom that works 100% with LGD panel? (even with glass protector)

Hi.
I tried almost every rom, but it seems no one works well with LGD (only with JDI panel)
I need that hardware buttons to work.
Thanks

Well, let's start ruling them out. What I've tried, and doesn't work:
- Lineage OS
- Slimdragons 3
- AOSP CAF
- JDC AOSP
- Discovery
What I've tried that does work:
- MIUI China
- MIUI Global
I need an AOSP/CM based rom, not MIUI

Sadly, you have to wait Xiaomi release the drivers, or use on-screen buttons meanwhile. There is nothing that devs can do without the proprietary drivers :/
does anyone know when it will happen?
maybe never. thanks xiaomi...
There is a thread in miui.com where users are petitioning for the kernel, in case somebody is interested.

that's it. I'ts almost impossible to handle hardware buttons in LGD panel if you're using a tempered glass.
https://www.change.org/p/xiaomi-release-updated-kernel-source-for-xiaomi-mi-5/
I have Lineage OS April 4th build and hardware buttons works fine for me ( although I prefer to use onscreen ones)
I have nillikin H+ pro tempered glass installed and of course I have a LGD panel.(Mi5 32GB)
I should add this as well, before buying nillikin one I bought cheap tempered glass from ebay and hardware buttons didn't work when I installed it. Also another person I know has mi5 with nillikan glass and his back buttons is less responsive. Maybe it differs from panel to panel as well.

That's good to hear. How functional were the capacitive buttons on your device with earlier versions of LOS? I have the exact same setup, but the buttons wouldn't work at all while I had LOS installed about 2 months ago. I truly hoped they got that fixed, even without the updated kernel source. MIUI is driving me insane.

hey,
Sorry for the late reply. I've been only using the April 4th build so far. So I cannot say anything about the previous versions.
Any news with the latest kernel source release? I've checked xceed kernel bld37, which is supposed to include this release, and it's still not working. Has anybody found a ROM our kernel working?

LGD + cheap tempered glass + RR v5.8.3 + Xceed bld33
It's not so responsive, i sometimes have to press hard but it's totally okay with me.
i have lgd panel too..if anyone experience any custom ROM based on lineage working great on lgd panel?

Screen flickering at high brightness

Hi All,
I've just bought a 256GB Mix. loving it but i've noticed a distracting flickering when the screen is at higher brightness settings. It's hard to describe almost like random dips occur in the brightness.
Obviously auto brightness is off and i've disabled as much battery saving things as i can find.
It persists through different ROMS, tried various MIUI roms, RR, and AICP.
Do i have a dud? Any Firmware updates i can try?
Are you on the newest firmware I believe its 7.12.21

Nope, I never did find a solution. I just have the brightness around 90%, it doesn't seem to do it around that. It's plenty bright at that so I'm happy. Considered sending it for RMA but couldn't be bothered with it being a Chinese seller, just thought it would be too stressful..
I'm considering upgrading to a Mix 2s soon anyway..
I have a similar problem on Xiaomi 4A, it looks like this video (iphone right): Youtu.be/Q6CANkiPkUM
Do you have a similar flicker?
Replacement screen for what 80 bucks
Perhaps the problem is not in the screen, but in the power supply pwm - inductor, capacitor
Hello I've redmi note 5 pro i also have same issue past few months but i didn't get any solution. when my phone brightness will high then screen flickering too fast and this issue is too much trouble. So please any one have any solution please let me know.

Another touchscreen problem-does not work when device is lying

Hi,
The new owner of Nokia 7 plus here. Its the second day I own a Nokia 7 Plus (Oreo 8.1) and I have a problem with a touchscreen. I noticed that sometimes it soea not recognize when I touch it. It does not matter whether I try harder, sometimes in different part of the screen it captures a touch, but there is no rule where.
Further analysis led me to conclusion that it happens when the device is lying. If it does not recognize the touch and I lift the phone and touch while holding it, everhthing is ok.
Anyone knows whats going on?
Ps. Its not a bad device at all, but it seems that the firmware is rather poor. It's a shame because there is a nieche on the market for reasonable hardware with superior firmware and regular updates.

How to download only security patch and not the Android Pie?
Yes that is it. and must to lock and unlock the screen to work again.
You can't have the security patch without the android pie.
No, I dont have to lock and unlock. Its enough that I lift the phone and it works.
With or without screen protector
How it is important whether with or without screen protector when you can clearly see on the movie that the only thing determining if the screen works is whether the phone is lying flat or is held?
Ps. I have a screen protector. Is it unusual?

I've noticed that some screen protectors can mess with the responsiveness of screens, which is why he's asking, I'm sure.

It's clearly not the protector looking at a recorded video. You can find tons of threads about the screen of Nokia 7 Plus. I've checked and I have Novatek, so it's probably that. I have to say that reading all that makes me sad, that Nokia let's the problem live its own life.

Just out of interest, which Novatek version have you got? You can get it from settings - system - about phone and then the touch panel firmware at the bottom.
I have seen that some have had issues with the V07 version. with low brightness etc. Those with just the 07 version seem to have a better screen.
I have the V07 and I have the same issue mentioned here.
Same here. Novatek V07 version.
Had the same problem. Touch became unresponsive while the phone was lying. Once I touch the metal frame it was okay.. not even lifting it. All was solved when I removed the screen protector. It is like I am using a new phone now
So to update you all: I have asked for a replacement. I got another one with V7 Novatek screen (Firmware 1.017.16). I don't know for sure, but the last one had Firmware 1.017.20. Nevertheless, current device does not have described problem with touch when laying. Of course I cannot go below 16% with brightness, but it does not bother me that much. Apparently, the last one was broken.

Cod mobile input lag

Hi all
I have a question regarding COD Mobile with Mi 9T Pro.
The issue i experience is that the touch input at some locations of the screen seems to be inconsistent. For example running, looking around and shooting works perfectly fine. These "buttons" are located somwhere in the middle of the screen. However all the buttons that are located at the lower end (landscape) of the screen seem to be hit and miss. I sometimes need to press up to 3 times until the action is activated.
Now im wondering if this is phone related or a COD mobile issue. Does anyone else have this issue?
Btw i had this issue on stock and on custom roms.
Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, i have one installed. Actually I can not with complete certainty tell you if i had the same issue already before applying the protector.
But in general use i do not experience any touch issues outside of the game.
Do you think it might be worthwile to remove and retest?

i am also having the same thing, when i want to start a match with right thumb( on right corner)- it exhibits that touch issue, but while playing it doesnt.. i need to touch 3-4 times to Start
for reference i have - glazed tempered glass, Indian variant
I have the same issue. my friend has the same issue.
Multiple other k20p users have the same issue in the same place. So have others with other phones as well.
(None of us use a screen protector)
It's a COD issue. It's not optimised for some phone screens.

Question Does the Note 10 pro 8g have issues or is it worth it?

Hello everyone
Im considering Note 10 pro and it seems like a nice deal but I saw a few reviews on yt and they said that
-the cpu is slow for android 11and the phone lags/gets slow.
-the phones touch is too sensitive causing it to register touches just by hovering over the screen,
-the virtual proximity sensor causes the screen to randomly turn off thinking its being lifted to the face and turn on during calls, and switch from loud speaker to call speaker etc
I was wondering if you experience these problems (still) or if they were fixed with new software
thanks in advance

It depends on what you want to invest for a smartphone , of course it's not the flagship ever, but I think in this price segment (or even 100% more expensive) it's the best.
The problems you've written, depend on firmware and ROM. If you've got experiences in flashing modifying then you'll get a phone which you can get better in photos and battery consumption with a smooth running system (sometimes every software can crash...)
For me it's good as mi9 (I've thought to get much better pictures as in mi9 but it's around the same after booth are modified, some situations are little better some not so good )
If you decide to buy another smartphone and you want to root and or try custom roms... Flashing... modding.... I recommend to take one with sd card slot. This was my reason to move away from mi9.

First of all its a great phone, worth the money in my opinion. But coming to your questions..
Yes, the CPU is slow, not a flagship, so there is that, but I have never experienced any lags or major stutters in my day to day usage, not sure about gaming tho. I am on PE ROM, not MIUI.
Yes, the phone touch is too sensitive, I have been experiencing the issue you mentioned, a slight touch registers it, never happened that with my XR.
Yes, there is proximity sensor issue..it annoys me a lot, even my friend has the same proximity sensor issue, but after switching to PE, I think it has reduced, but I do experience it occasionally even in PE.
Again, I can live with all those issues I mentioned, RN10 Pro is not my main device, work sim is on the apps, so the usage is less.
Your mileage may vary.

Thank you for your reply. That was very helpful
If you aren't gaming or have other high requirements, the CPU isn't exactly slow. I use ArrowOS 12 and it's extremely smooth. No lags whatsoever. Plus the battery can last up to 4-5 days if you don't use the phone much.
I also never had any issues with touch or the screen turning off when it's not supposed to.
But today I wouldn't pay more than 240€ for it, because it's quite a few months old by now and maybe newer phones will become available soon.
Major drawback for me with this phone is the lack of good camera support for custom roms. The camera might also be good for the price class, but it isn't really anything special. If you have more money and want a good camera, I'd suggest looking at the OnePlus 9RT.
But what I really enjoy about the Redmi Note 10 Pro is it's awesome screen!

I don't really play games but I don't like switching phones a lot and I keep a phone for about 3-4 years so I tend to buy phones with cpus that would last that long. I also use dual apps a lot since I switched to k20 couple years ago so I stick EU roms even tho I Used PE and LOS mainly on my previous phones.
I agree. The screen is the main attraction for me too. I think I might get the poco f3 if I decide no on the RNP10, even tho it seems like it has the same proximity issue . I love OnePlus brand but it's too pricy especially in my location compared to Mi
i am coming from the mi8 (an older flagship)
not missing anything eventhough the cpu is worse than my old mi8. cameras are pretty equal. the cpu is on paper is a bit worse than in my old mi8, but in reallife you wouldnt notice anything until you´re not playing heavy games.
but!!!! the biggest thing is the display. it´s really impressive for that price. and the sound is also better since it has got two speakers. for me it was a nice upgrade going from an older flagship to a newer midrange phone.
