Stylus?

So, has anyone tried a stylus on it? Mainly something like the Dagi ones, so as to use the tablet in a more classroom note taking thing ...

I bought a "Wacom Bamboo Stylus Duo 2gen - CS-150" specifically for this tablet before I was handed the Z2.
Unusable, poor feedback and needs a high pressure.
On my smartphone Xperia Z C6603 working correctly.
Maybe it depends on the absence of a screen protector or the bug already reported by other users here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712388

I bought the Bamboo solo and I've had the same problem, for some reason you have to press down quite hard, I'm worried it may be because the touch resolution is really low, which would be disappointing.

Dagi
Well, I've ordered the Dagi p505, It should arrive mid next week, I'll post after trying it

The touchscreen has issues on this tablet. Don't blame the stylus. Hopefully, the issues are only software/driver based and can be fixed with an update.
I seem to remember a few different sources citing 'pen stylus input' which is the same as the tech on the Z Ultra, meaning even fine pointed conductive objects can be used as a stylus. I think Sony have stopped advertising this though, maybe because they realised the issue with the touch digitiser is HW based or maybe they just want to fix the FW first.
Either way, something is wrong, at least for now.

On the Sony forums, in a thread where we could ask anything about the tablet they specifically stated that it would not have pen input. Of course this could just be some customer service guy that doesn't know the details but he very specifically said it wouldn't be available on this tablet.

Just got a Wacom Bamboo Stylus too, completely unusable.
Hopefully we'll get a fix/mod soon. This is pretty pathetic and embarrassing for a tablet of this proportion.

Dagi p505 Works!
So, my DAGI p505 just arrived, I tried it and it works! since it arrived after the screen protector I only tried them both together, and there's a slight delay between the point and the paint (I used the brush atock app), but its perfectly drawable and and I reckon it might even be writeable with the right app

Hope this answers your question

Anyone tried using ES22 Sony stylus on Xperia Tablet Z2 ou even on Z2 smartphone ??? it would be nice if this stylus works on Z2 devices

Tried it, and Es22 stylus from sony does NOT work with the z2 tablet... (SGP512, .36 firmware).
Homemade stylus with aluminium does not work either... Even if correctly working with my other devices...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app

Every Stylus I tried is working extremely bad with this device! And I haven't had any touchscreen problems...

Our "Targus" stylus seems to work OK. But not perfect. But otherwise, without stylus, the screen is nicely responsive.

Hi all,
Anybody tested new.402 firmware with bamboo Solo stylus?
I've a rooted device and still looking for a method to update

Has anybody with a rooted Z2 Tablet tried the Z1 any pencil input hack?
I suspect a little bit of playing other than just the line of code suggested may be necessary.

It's a lot better. Not perfect though.

Sony included the software tweak with the Z2 but not the Z2 Tablet, which is strange.
I contacted Sony who confirmed there is no ES22 support with no future plans to include it.

So anybody tested other stylus with last Z2 firmware?
I've a Bamboo solo and it's useless; at the moment the only product that "seems" to work properly is the "Dagi P505" (but unavailable in Europe).
Any test with Samsung Galaxy S-Pen?
Thanks.
Marco

I've tested the adonit jot pro and the bamboo stylus. The jot pro works very well. It looks really similar to the dagi stylus, but is available also in Europe... The bamboo stylus is useless.

Touch issues

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)

Horizontal swipes seems too sensitive

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

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?

Touchscreen unresponsive after flashing the wrong rom

I wanted to flash the new hyper rom v11 gt-i9305 so i got all excited and foolishly flashed the note 2 rom. I also have a note 2 so i downloaded it for both the phones and flashed the note 2 on the s3. Now the touchscreen wont respond and its annoying as I literally just got out of a bootloop today. I did backup my phone but it didn't seem to save as Twrp doesn't recognise it. I tried flashing the stock rom and wiping cache and davlik cache and then rebooting but that didn't work. I tried going back to RR but that didn't work either. (I flashed these roms but using odin to get phliz touch and using the keys to navigate). I think it isn't a hardware problem and I hope not. Do you have any ideas on your mind? Happy to try it out. I need to save my jewel of a phone as this has been with me for ages and I need it to last longer. (I prefer over the note 2 as a daily driver).

I am sorry to confirm, that your touch is broken now. By flashing a rom for t0lte, will say especially the kernel, is burning and so destroying the touch screen of the i9305. I had this also, when I accidentally compiled the kernel with the wrong defconfig.

Well is there a fix? Replacing the components or hardware e.g. motherboard or lcd cable?

Yes sure, you can replace the touch display unit. But whether this is worth for the/your good old i9305? Depends on the price, sure and often you can get some used spare parts or cheap used and complete mobiles.

Dang. Really? I just looked at the prices and I can't find any digitizer listed under $70. Is there any workaround? I'm sure your telling me the truth about how there's no fix but is there a cheaper way out of this?
UPDATE: I found a cheap digitizer for the s3 but it doesn't say if its also for the 4G version. So would the i9300 digitizer work on the i9305? I'm not talking about the whole lcd, just the digitizer and the glass lens.

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.

I had the same problem.after december sicurety patch the problem solved..

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.

New at Xiaomi Phones...will buy a Mi9, so, im introducing myself, and ask some tips!

Hi guy's, so im new at Xiaomi devices for myself...yes, look strange to me that i have recomended all kind of Xiaomi devices to my family and myself didnt have one, so that is about to change.
Long story short, Xiaomi fan since 2016 and buying all kind of things (Powerbank's, selfie stick, mi band 1S and Mi Band 3, Mi Speakers and so on) but never going for a phone...all recomended by me then, my girfriend buy a Redmi Note 4 almost 2 years ago, my mom a Redmi 5 last year, my brother a Mi A2 last christmas, my father a Mi A1 in May, and my cousin a Redmi Note 7 in May too.
I see everyone happy with their phones so i will go for a step above and buy a Mi9 cause i only can live with a "higher spec" one - dont compare with expensive one, cause i never buy expensive ones (more than 500 euros).
Now, im here and a Mi 9 should arrive within 2 weeks, i only have one choise: 6Gb/128Gb cause, storage for me is a must and since this phone cant handle a microSD, i be sure that my 25Gb of FLAC audio need to go somewhere big and i need space for more and more, and videos and pictures.
The color is a black one, cause i want straight and simple, elegant but i need to admit i already touch and use a Mi9 at store in blue color and i love it so damn too but for me is all black. Why my choise about Mi 9? easy, im usually buying phones with IR blaster cause i need it, and love to have it (trolling mode, and my job at repair store is a easy for me).
In search for a need of a phone with wireless charging, is a no brainer to chose a Mi 9, i want to try out that on display fingerprint scanner and i already did, and fall in love too, is a quick and easy step in technology in general.
Overall, Mi9 have it all, all i need and want.
So my questions to Mi 9 users and to try improve my experience with my device are:
1 - what the best method to debloat the phone without unlocking the bootloader? - in my LG G6 have a cmd list and then debloat by using it, they are not deleted but is deativated in the phone so they wont run and save memory. - are something similar to do with Mi 9?
2 - for who use wireless charging: do the phone gets too hot that you are affraid of glass back to look like or you think it will break?
3 - right now, the stock rom have some "big deal" bugs?
4 - the back scratch easy? i mean, you do the first 2 or 3 cleans and they already have scratches?
5 - best glass screen protector? i see a lot of 3d, 4d or so new type of screen protectors but im afrraid because of the corners will not adhere fine or lift when the phone be inside a case. Nillkin someone? - i usually use that brand for my G6 and until now is perfect.
6 - for people who are in Global ROM, there still ads all over stock apps or is gone?
For now is everything, sorry for this long text but im hype right now, is a new toy coming and i need to threat them right.

As a Mi9 user, I only can answer 3 questions properly;
3.- Stock rom doesn't have any major bugs (Not that I have found) but they're updating it pretty slow.. we're a couple of versions behind other devices like the redmi ones.. Although, I always see flashing a xiaomi.eu rom as a "must do", because is debloated, has better ram optimization, many extra options, etc. But that's just preference.
4.- I don't see the back panel scratched till today, I've been using this phone since a couple of months, but I would recommend using a case just in case.
5.- I use hydrogel screen protectors on almost all my devices, you can search what are those if you want, but I recently found one from the brand "Jasinber" on Amazon, it feels premium and it's pretty cheap, includes all the usual installation kit and 2 pieces, it has a black border but doesn't "eat" that much from the screen tho.

need to have bootloader unlocked to flash xiaomi.eu or ROS etc.
If you have the global version you can jump between the europe and global version ROMs with bootloader locked using XiaomiMiTool V2 but never to china rom

so, obvious i am gettin a Global version...i am reading with, with MiTools v2 you can flash .eu firmwares without unlocking bootloader?
if so, thanks...i will do it sure, only thing i dont want is unlock the bootloader for now, i will give time, 3, 4 months until i do that cause im affraid of the phone have some kind of issue and let me down with booloader unlocked and my guarantee is void after that.

Xiaomi ADB Fastboot tools is the easiest way to debloat IMHO, you can choose to disable/delete apps from a preconfigured list. https://github.com/Saki-EU/XiaomiADBFastbootTools
SirTAVARES considers a lot more things "bloat" but has a great list you can use with ADB to delete things
https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/themes/xiaomi-mi9-debloat-root-root-t3910021

No, but I haven't got the 27W charger so it's not going that fast. It does get quite hot playing games while fast charging using a cable, but it's just uncomfortable, I'm not worried about it breaking
3
Was happy enough on stock, but there were a bunch of quirks that weren't quite "dealbreakers". I tried out xiaomi.eu and am much happier, it's pretty much stock but outright better. Not sure about the current state of stock, but notifications missing from the status bar was the worst.
4
Glass back does scratch, but not through just cleaning. I think I have faint key marks but it still looks amazing and you wouldn't notice.
5
Am using a Cafele that came free with their cheap case.
+ Has a front camera cutout
+ Has this edge solution that works great, and can be used to hide existing scratches
- Not 3D, doesn't feel as nice doing edge gestures
I read the drawback of some (all?) of the Nillkins was the camera hole gets dusty or if you misalign it it's in photos. Ones with cutouts are probably better

So, im learning and reading something around i have seen a lot of people complaining about audio latency on bluetooth headset and low volume problem, anyone can confirm is general or affect only few devices?
its software related and if it is, how to solve that?

Bluetooth hasn't been a problem for me in xiaomi.eu. (I use LDAC/APT-X codecs only though) Low volume is software, if you forget the device and repair it should get it's normal volume back. It only happened a couple of times for me.

1. you have a tool to debloat it via fastboot, a java app is available in this subforum, called Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot tools. You can manually select what to remove.
2. Phone doesn't get hot while fast charging, though I am using a 5w Samsung wireless charger.
3. No major issues in the stock rom, other than the fact that the notifications only briefly show on the bar. Easy to solve without root by installing NotchTest from the playstore.
4. Have no scratches on the back and I also don't use any phone cases most of the time.
5. I bought this case because it looks typical spygen and only have good things to say about it.
6. I've never seen an ad on this phone.
By far the best phone I ever used. Super fast and smooth, incredible camera, MIUI is not really bloated imo, overall a great experience.
