capacitive buttons not working mi5 lineageos - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Hi folks,
i'm having trouble with my capacitive buttons when using a foil or tempered glas on mi mi5 with official Lineage OS. In the Lineage OS support thread bgcngm say the problem should be fixed since ~15/01. For me it is not. Tried all different kinds of foils. On Lineage OS IRC they said I should give logs to the maintainer so he can debug but I cant post in the Lineage OS support thread

Reply from dev regarding the buttons in los thread:
Most likely you have a Mi 5 assembled with a LGD panel. This was a known problem, originated by the fact that the kernel source code release by Xiaomi is quite old. Touchscreen driver probably got updated (firmware was for sure) in their internal releases to deal better with those touchscreen/panels combo. Although, thanks to @s3zam the firmware was recently updated and this issue should have been attenuated. Are you still experiencing it in the official builds?

Hi underko,
Yes, capacitive buttons are still not working. I'm on the latest nightly 31/1.

Same here on 06.02 nightly. I have 3/32 variant.

Same problem

02/06 didn't changed anything. Capacitive buttons are still not working at all.

In general I think they were working for a while after flashing but stopped soon. While working their sensitivity was very low in my opinion. But I'm not 100% sure.

Other roms
Other roms like Mokee and RR have the same problem (sorry for my very bad english:silly

Did anybody manage to solve this issue? I tried reporting it on LOS's bug tracker but right now, they only accept regressive bug reports.

For me its still unsolved.

Do you have a case/screen protector?
It seems that it might have to do with grounding. The issue wasn't as persistent when I removed the case.
EDIT: Flashing xiaomi.eu fixed the issue completely for me. So I suppose it is a software bug after all.

i have the same issue too, help

Guys did you try with Xceed kernel or DragonXia

yape tried these 2 kernels, but no luck, issue still persists.
actually my issue is on the recent app/menu button, the touch sensitivity seems low (although im not apply any screen protector).. pressed it 10 times, only 2 times was responded !

Mi 5 comes with either JDI or LGD display, check which one you have. LGD display faces problems of unresponsive capacitive buttons on Lineage based Roms.
I have JDI display with tempered glass and the capacitive buttons are generally responsive.

yes, i have LGD

i have the same problem with Resurrection Remix. sometimes the buttons are working but most time not.
would it be a solution to change to an aosp rom?

same problem
same problem! 14.1

The ****ty solution I found was just to use/enabled the on screen software buttons.
Hoping to get an email one day with someone saying the physical buttons finally work. Not keeping my hopes up.

mine has a LGD panel. Hardware buttons works for me. I'm on lineage OS 4/4/17 build.
I think it is part software bug and part to do with the quality of the tempered glass you install. because first I bought a cheap glass from ebay and hardware buttons stopped responding while I was on MIUI. Now I have nillikin one and hardware buttons works fine.

[FIXED] Help please. Need custom ROM which fixed proximity sensor calling BSOD

Hi
( 1 )
I really need a custom ROM which fixed proximity sensor calling Black Screen Of Death , but when I connect a HF speakers the screen shows
I tried different ROMs ( stock, pure_nexus, Cataclysm ) without luck :crying:
( 2)
Also in whatsapp when I play audio messages it goes to black screen with only status bar and navigation showing and the sound volume so low. I have seen this bug only on Nexus 6. I's think it also related to the proximity sensor.
Note: I replaced the full LCD because I bought it with a broken LCD.
Nexus6 64gb
Cataclysm M 6.0.1
Pure Nexus M 6.0.1
Thanks
Still waiting for any tips
Nobody can help?
there's no such ROM, sorry.
Only issue I've ever had like this was with a zagg tgsp. It covered the process sensor... Had a vzw tg and now intelliglass. Both have the sensor cutout and haven't had an issue since.
Reading your post i remember having a similar proximity sensor problem with my Note 2 years ago. This post solved the problem for me.
Old and wit different hardware and software, but maybe just maybe it could be of some help for you:

Thanks man
I will give it a go and see.
Thanks all for replying
The only thing that worked, I installed [ROM] ✵ N6XShamuM ✵ MMB29S ✵ Xposed & GravityBox ✵ v2.1.6
and disabled the proximity sensor within Xposed
horrrrray

Screen flashes red before locking?

I press lock and the screen flashes red then turns off. Hasn't happend on my previous S3 and G3. Is this a problem or should I not be worried? I can provide video if needed. The phone still works and is all completely fine it's just this.
MIUI Version 8.0.12.0. Chinese Stable ROM. I've had other people tell me this hasn't happened to them so I'm confused :\
I was on a vendor rom and I certainly didn't seem to notice it then but I might have still been happening. Could it be a software issue?

Red screen
Hello. I have Xiaomi mi 5s plus and the same thing is happening to me, when I turn off the screen, it flashes red just before locking.
Have you been able to find the source of the issue, is the phone still working
I've just noticed that my Mi MIX also flashes red before turning off the screen. Having said that, I haven't noticed any abnormalities that affects the phone yet. It seems like it's just a colouring issue before turning off the screen. No biggie.
Can anyone enlighten me on this matter? Thanks
In my opinion it's just a part of weird turning off animation which is brought recently. I realised that recently, yet not that serious observation like you did lol. I guess nothing to worry about.
Mi MIX
7.4.14 Épic
Stopped happening when I used the Resurrection Remix ROM for the Mix, so I guess it's just a MIUI issue, not a hardware issue.
Yup, I can confirmed that it's a MIUI bug. Just flashed the Resurrection Remix Rom, and the red flashing thing has stopped.
Normal in MIUI. Crist, what a detail that you observed, haha
I have Xiaomi Mi Note 3 and the same thing is happening to me. I have been suspicious of tempered glass or hardware. I was wrong.
Miui Version: 9 I 7.12.21
PS: I installed Resurrection Remix ROM but screen still flashed red before locking.
Check developer settings are turned off!

New Mi5 owner here! Does anybody else experience erratic capacitive button behaviour?

Hey there everyone, I got my Mi5 a couple of weeks ago. I flashed Slim7, but right now I use the latest Lineage OS as my daily driver.
Although, user experience has been great I faced a bug in both ROM which I believe is firmware related, but I don't really have a solution. I am not sure if it happened in stock, but in both custom ROMs that I used, sometimes the capacitive keys (back and recents) would stop working. This happened every 5 minutes or so and it only gets fixed if I lock and unlock the device or if I navigate to somewhere else, hence the reason I believe this is software related.
I did a bit of digging around and some people who were also affected by this concluded that might have to do with certain panels being incompatible the kernel, since Xiaomi uses both LGD and JDI panels for the Mi5.
Has anybody managed to solve this issue? A workaround would to enable on screen navigation but I would prefer not to.
Cheers!

Multitouch with +5 fingers

****UPDATE: *****
This is what happens https://imgflip.com/gif/1xvxm0
What can be the cause of this? Does this happen to any of you as well? Should i open the casing and see if there is anything touching the metal casing that should not ?
****EO UPDATE ****
I have been testing with both
Settings -> Developer Options - > Show Pointers (and looking at the top left that says x/x points)
or
Using a multitouch test app like so https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.the511plus.MultiTouchTester
The latter is nice because it has big handlers and you can clearly see the point/touch flickering like loosing and creating point (hence creating a new point ID)
From what i can say in Marshmallow it worked way better, on the last 2 Nougat updates i saw that at the 7th point it started to do the flickering and with this one it starts at the 5th point.
With 3 fingers screenshot disabled (and all the gestures for that matter) as i know it would create a conflict.
Just tested in a Motorola with Marshmallow and it created the 10 points flawlessly.
I wonder if any of you noticed the same or is something off with my touchscreen?
Might it be a Nougat thing ?
Any known solutions?
I searched around and nothing Nougat related seem to pop up
Just tested with both OP2 and a Moto G5 and they both work great, actually it even worked great on my Samsung Galaxy i9000
I have noticed that for the last 2 updates or so multitouch capability has been decreasing.
When are you ever going to use ten fingers to multitask? If it wasn't for the screenshot gesture, we wouldn't even be using three.

That is irrelevant for what i am trying to figure out, what i want to know is if it is a HW problem by default or just my HW is faulty or even if it is a Nougat problem.
It works flawlessly on other less capable phones
Either software or hardware fault I would say. I just tried it out without any flickering with 10 fingers on my 3t running latest unofficial LineageOS 15/Oreo ROM.

Thank you, from what i get so far is a Nougat thing, all the users that have Oreo seems to work fine
Conductive electricity ?
Ok some pretty strange updates...
I accidentally tested it on a metal table and it worked perfectly, which lead me to think that it might be due to conductive energy or something.
So i tried the test on a wooden table and it does flicker and loose touches, so i pressed with a finger on a metal part of the OP3T casing and the points are registered properly.
I had made a video so people don't think i am crazy here is the result https://imgflip.com/gif/1xvxm0 at this point i can say that is directly related.
What can be the cause of this? Does this happen to any of you as well? Should i open the casing and see if there is anything touching the metal casing that should not ?
anyone ?
This is a non issue honestly. If it doesn't change how your phone functions in day to day practical use, you probably shouldn't bother with something like that. The touch display functionally is fantastic especially the screen colors and with the recently fixed touch latency it does happen to be one of the best screens on the market despite its lower resolution. Factually you won't use more than a three touch input so. IMHO

It is definitely a problem did you watched the video ? because it seems like a real hard problem to me, use cases for you might be different from others. My old samsung galaxy i9000 as well as my OP2 did not had that problem
It may be a problem for one and may not be a problem in another's eyes.
To address your issue, have you tried switching ROM's? I don't think it could be a Nougat problem, but you might as well try Oreo or even MM.
This may sound funny, but have you tried with another person's fingers?

I had the feeling that it might be from the updates (still using official OP updates) but right now i think it might be hardware. Yes i tried with other fingers, thinking about opening the phone to see if there is something touching the metal case inside.

Question [HELP]Fingerprint hardware not available

Initial Problem​The issue arose after having been on Pulkit's LineageOS (unofficial) for weeks. One fine morning i get the following message on my lock screen: Fingerprint hardware not available. To respect the rules of the forum and since I had already gone into detail about it here and found a temporary fix for it, I refrain from reiterating the same.
TLDR​The fingerprint hardware issue came up abruptly, wasn't fixed with changing kernels. Switched to a miui 14 port for a week, everything was working fine, switched back to an aosp rom (Voltage os), runs fine for a day and on the second half of the second day, the fingerprint sensor stops working again.
Help?​I've scoured through the forum in search for a solution to this but seems like it's a truly unique problem x | Has anyone encountered something like this? Were you able to solve it or was there any permanent fix to this? I really don't want to have to use miui if I can help it and after having been on aosp roms for almost a year now, I absolutely can't daily drive miui T.T
Any advise or suggestions on the matter are really welcome!
