Hey guys,
First post on XDA Devs.
Just flashed the Liquid Smooth Rom on my AT&T Note I717. Love the performance, my games are significantly smoother, and my device is much more responsive. However there have been a couple of issues. The biggest thing is when I bring up the keyboard, and tap any keys on it the screen flashes, and occasionally what I'm trying to type in portrait mode is covered by a black space above the keyboard. This only happens on the qwerty keyboard, the calculator only mode does not cause any of these issues. I would also like to note that I have tried installing custom keyboards and disabling the built in ones, and disabling text to speech. Everything is up to date. Anyone found the cause and (hopefully) solution to this?
The other issue is that within a few hours memory usage is extremely high. I know the note does not have much to begin with but stock used more and maintained it better, anyone have suggestions on how to automattically keep my memory clean.?
Thanks in advanced, even if the problems don't get resolved Liquid Smooth is still one of the best in my opinion.
Hi guys, I am fairly noob but I was hoping to get some help.
I currently have a:
Oneplus One
Netgear PTV3000 connected into the Appradio 3.
I am struggling to get mirroring to work without being jittery and laggy. I have tested the PTV with the Samsung S5 and S4 both have nil issues. When I use the Oneplus One there is constant audio skipping and video lag and the phone is slow to respond from the screen of the Appradio 3. I have rooted the phone but it is completely upto date.
Is there something I am doing wrong? Any suggestions as to how I could improve the responsiveness and removing screen mirroring lag? There are no controls for the casting other than connecting and disconnecting.
I have placed the phone on top of the Netgear but nothing seems to get rid of the lag. It is also intermittent sometimes it is flawless other times it is terrible. I have the phone on Performance mode which is 2.5ghz.
Thanks

I found that if I connect through WIFI Direct first manually and then use screen casting there is a significant improvement in quality though some lag still remains.
I use an LG smart TV and its fine, just a little delay as to be expected.
The slight lag is fine it is the constant jittery music which is frustrating. its not interference. its the mirroring. But I don't know if its hardware or software.
So I have figured out why the miracast is lagging on the PTV3000. The data uploaded is reaching peak of about 5-6mbps. By monitoring the bandwidth the lag only occurred when this number was reached. \
hello, now to the forums. Just got my s6, noticed some lag out of the box, and the scrolling feels really weird. Scrolling down a web page or through instagram, it seems really heavy, scrolling stops almost instantly if i do a soft flick, while it goes really far if i flick hard. I used the lumia 925 in the past, the scrolling just seems more consistent overall, flicking the screen softly the web page will come to a gradual stop, instead of stopping instantly.
Tried to fix this issue by rooting my s6, installing XtreStoLite rom, and using googy max kernel, also did the build.prop mod. While it seems to make the lag slightly better, the heavy scrolling momentum still persist, and really annoying. Anyone knows ways of fixing this? thanks, any help is much appreciated.
bump?
Maybe this is the fix? anyone had this before?https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...-hint-it-was-never-a-software-problem.186235/

Possibly. Mine had a very slight issue like this when the phone got warm, but that is mainly for people with the TRUE ghost touch. That means you swipe and sometimes it swipes lazy whrn scrolling because it didn't catch the entire swipe, typing on the keyboard is terrible because it "touched" a different letter, and using an app to test the multitouch registers less than 10 fingers, or even putting a few fingers on the screen causes it to touch elsewhere or not detect a touch. I had a OnePlus One like this when they were still being sold and it was terrible. Then there was a nightly CyanogenMod build that fixed the problem but would drain battery about twice as fast.
Currently, we have custom roms that have updated drivers which vastly improve the screen performance on the ones that had very little issues. Me for example after flashing DotOS I no longer get the very slight issues. My issue mainly occured when swiping, where it would require a swipe perfectly straight up or down instead of the normal way we swipe with our thumbs which is usually slightly tilted. It wasn't something to ruin the experience for me, but sometimes unlocking my phone with the pattern was difficult because of this. There was another rom out there that specifically outlined that it had many updated drivers including the Synaptics drivers (touch), but I cannot recall the name.

my oneplus one was fine bro, I used every custom rom and it worked very well! but in the last month it start happening this ghost touch problem
and I'm sure its 100% hardware, even on TWRP it happens
update 2 : i posted a video on youtube for the lowered sensitivity of pocophone f1 8.11.29 and compared it to note 9 touch to settle the debate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cALkjau09xs
update : about the touch there seem to be a debate whether it is improved or not .. i just did a reset and discovered that by default the google keyboard has no borders and full gesture is not enabled .. so if you set the theme of the gboard to enable key borders and enabled full screen gesture you will definitely feel the lower edge space bar problems and that allover sensitivity is lowered
thought to write my initial impressions about 8.11.29 open beta software .. it was released couple of hours ago and i updated from 8.11.15 with ota and no reset done
hdr still works in youtube
youtube full screen support is there
hevc 4k60 10 bit files now works flawlessly on mi video app
camera noise during low light conditions improved but on the expense of details as there is some kind of photo softness introduced
there is a small bug too which is still there google keyboard key-presses sound is mute every restart and you have to turn it off and on again to enable
PUBG touch is fixed
my analysis for the touch :
1st they reduced touch sensitivity a bit and i think this was done as some people complained from over-sensitivity with cables touching screen and stuff .. the problem i see this is normal and it didn't deserve to lower sensitivity for as this is how touch works .. the flow of electric charge from your hand pass through the cable and reach the screen
2nd ghost multitouch issue is there but i only tested with multitouch tester and i didnt notice it while working on the mobile
3rd now if i put the mobile on the chair hand and do not catch it with my hand 95% of touches are not registered which proves they lowered sensitivity ( the percentage may differ with mobile position grounding and battery level and charging or not )
4th the edges touch is less sensitive specially the lower part and space bar in addition to their lag so the keyboard is not usable now and will give you lots of space bar mistakes .. i think this is because of the lowered sensitivity all over the screen in addition to crippled edges touch from the start (using full screen gestures)
5th this is complicated it is how the PUBG was fixed : there was a user here on xda and miui that complained of particular touch issue were small turns were laggy and not registered .. this was completely fixed and PUBG plays excellent now
so to sum this up apparently edges have some sort of hardware problem and it will not be better than 8.11.15 so they should return sensitivity to 8.11.15 level so keyboard is usable again and keep the PUBG fix .. i think this will be the best partial fix for touch issues .. as by now i am convinced that they dont have a 100 % fix .. i was surprised they even fixed PUBG but who knows .. so now keyboard is in an unusable state if you turn on fullscreen gestures and cancelled the homescreen buttons .. so temporarily solutions till fix #1 you need to turn on the home buttons bar and wait for a fix or #2 disable keyboard borders in gboard theme and enable fullscreen gestures
i will add edit this post later and add rest of my impressions to this post as i test the phone
please share yours .. also do you see that i need to reset the phone before assessing the update ?!
Touch issue is still present, but different.
It is less than before, however now I notice it mostly on the spacebar. (In fullscreen mode)
While typing, it sometimes doesn't register me pressing the spacebar entirely. Does someone has the the same feeling about this?

yes i was testing the touch this last hour and i agree with you about the space bar and i will tell you my anaylsis
but as a starter and to cheer people up PUBG turn touch lag is fixed and now small turns are registered without a lag
so again PUBG touch fixed
my analysis for the touch :
1st they reduced touch sensitivity a bit and i think this was done as some people complained from over-sensitivity with cables touching screen and stuff .. the problem i see this is normal and it didn't deserve to lower sensitivity for as this is how touch works .. the flow of electrons from your hand pass through the cable and reach the screen

4th the edges touch is less sensitive specially the lower part and space bar in addition to their lag so the total experience here with keyboard is not good and will give you lots of space bar mistakes .. i think this is because of the lowered sensitivity all over the screen in addition to crippled edges touch from the start
5th this is comlpicated it is how the PUBG was fixed : there was a user here on xda and miui that complained of particular touch issue were small turns were laggy and not registered .. this was completely fixed and PUBG plays excellent now

Agreed, however the screen now flickers a lot and the user experience is very poor due to this.
I never had any touch issues and even now it's fine.

what do you mean by flickering rajeev ?! i didnt notice any flickering while using the mobile and playing videos or games .. the only flicker i saw is in camera in certain modes while recording video and i think this can be easily fixed by xiaomi team i think
So, after this final update the touchscreen works awful.
I mean, I never had screen bleeding or touch issues with this phone, but this last update really killed it. I have to often press twice on something to open it. Looks like it does not have the same sensitivity like before.
Very anoying.

i dont know why they lowered the sensitivity ??!! i have been investigating till i found a couple of posts complaining from over-sensitivity but apparently they were talking with some one important .. of course any mobile screen will be touch sensitive to cables thats no brainer hhhhhh
https://en.miui.com/thread-4141753-2-1.html
Well, it seems to be f*cked up to the point i have to press very hard on the screen to register touches. Yesterday everything was smooth and perfect, and now ... I'm thinking of selling this and buy myself a real phone ...

i know what you mean but since rest of features such as hdr works flawless for me now i can endure a couple of weeks for a better fix .. but eventually i will sell it too when i found an appropriate one .. pocophone sold out from egypt so i will have no problem selling it under warranty anytime .. i will stick for a couple of months
For me stable 10.0.6.0 is the best. I hope MIUI team will release a good stable based on android 9

no it is not present on mine .. my friends call me pixel peeper .. did you try to reset yours .. anyway i will use a camera to spot any flicker out of the normal and infrom you if present .. only flicker noticed in camera video rear and front
update : i just took a photo of my mobile screen with shutter speed at 1/30 and there is no flicker .. but i saw couple of posts complaining of your problem .. how did you update to 8.11.29

Try to record on low brightness, it's using PWM backlight at low level.
But I thought everyone known this already?

Wait, what? xD
The wiring of cables are always covered with an insulator which restricts the flow of electrons on the outer surface, so it's definitely the over-sensitivity which is the devil here.
This issue is not present in custom ROMs as the devs have managed to implement the fix from 8.11.15 and 8.11.23.

i changed electrons to electric charge to be precise .. also i have acer iconia w700 tablet that register touches from cables .. also my note 5 do this .. there is nothing called over-sensitivity except when it affects things or cause a malfunction .. if over-sensitivity was present i never felt a malfunction from it and pubg game touch issues was not related to over-sensitivity at all and there was a complete topic here taking about this specific poblem
on the other side almost all ppl complain from touch problems and screen edges that do not register touches as center .. so you take a decision to lower sensitivity ????!!!!! thats weird and i cannot comprehend till now
do you know that if i used the side of my finger vs the tip touch differs .. so there is difference between ppl and you cannot go lower sensitivity on a phone ppl complaining about its touch issues
also dont forget the screen protector that has its toll on touch sensitivity .. all these factors must be considered
their only excuse that this is a beta

Ahhhhh! I get it now!
But my verdict is that Xiaomi released this phone with just pure excitement and nothing else. They did not optimize the phone for users' convenience. This is a beta phone and they'll PROBABLY hit the right note with the successor of this phone. And worst part, we've surrendered ourselves as 'testers' for this phone. :/

Exactly. I too never had touch issues before this update.
---------- Post added at 07:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 AM ----------
I had done the multi touch test when I bought this smartphone and it registered all the 10 touches easily in the first go. Now, after this update it won't even register 5 touches without trying repeatedly.
I also noticed unresponsive touch problem with .23 and .29 beta updates. I didn't have this touch problem with .15 beta and below. Also, the lock screen flickers on .29. Most probably due to auto brightness I think. While using facelock, the screen brightness changes like crazy. Tried .29 with global beta, EU rom and globe rom, and with franko kernel. The screen flickers like super fast brightness change from low to high to low continuously with all.
Reverted back to .15 now, and touch is good now. And also no screen flickering.

I installed the full rom- 1.7gb and the flicker is gone from lockscreen.
