[Q] Sony Xperia Z3 Touch Latency - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently, I bough a Sony Xperia Z3, and I've noticed some pretty major latency/input lag primarily when you're scrolling, when you scroll, the time between the moment you touch the screen to stop the scrolling and when it actually stops scrolling is really big.
This also doesn't just happen when scrolling it affects gaming, I downloaded the game GolfStars and there's a slider you need to touch and stop to get the ball going straight, and because of the latency you need to touch it before it gets to the destination. This is just an example of the myriad of issues the latency this phone has could cause.
Fixes I tried and did not work:
*Force GPU Rendering
*Touch & Hold Delay set to "short"
*Disabled all image and graphic enhancers.
*Enable Glove Mode
So, is this a software or hardware issue? Or is there no issue, and it's just how the phone was made to work?

I had similiar problem with my Z1 ,i sent it to sony but they won't fix it ;/ its 100% hardware problem

Wow, so it's been a problem since the Z1 and they still haven't fixed it?
I wonder if it's a design philosophy.
And how did you cope with this issue?
I'm still within the period to change the phone for another but I really had my hopes up for this phone especially with the PS4 functionality but this issue is major and it's making me reconsider and changing it for something like the M8 which its screen is SUPER responsive. Just how it should be.

JoseZ3, it would probably help if you'd indicate what FW you actually use. I'm in possession of a Z3C and a Z2, there's no such thing like latency/input lag anywhere. Probably a FW update helps to get it addressed.

No latency here at all.

So when you're, let's say, on a webpage, and you flick your finger so it scrolls down, and then you tap the screen so the scrolling stops, it stops immediately?

Yes, it stops immediately, I tried that as soon as I saw your post. I am not much of a gamer, so I cannot confirm if it happens in games or not, but I'll install one or two tomorrow just to be sure.
It seems to me that I was lucky to get a perfect device, so many people are complaining about camera, lags or broken glass, I don't have any of these problems. The only problem I share with the rest of Z3 owners is quiet notification sound.

I was able to fix it!
The latency went away when I turned off "Magnification Gestures" aka tap to zoom. Now it's snappy and responsive.
So to anyone who might read this in the future and is experiencing the same problem try and disable magnification gestures.
Thank you to everyone who tried to help me.

You have fixed what you must have turned on yourself as this function is off by default! Only wonder why you didn't notice the "problem" after having turned it on?!

Touchscreen sensitivity issue

Hi there guys,
I've been researching on this problem i've got with my Oneplus. It seems that the touchscreen is'nt responsive enough.
Often when i'm scrolling trough (for example) facebook, the phone has a hard time recognizing my swipes, and picks up regular touches instead. Which is causing me to open or like posts when i'm just trying to scroll trough. If i'm scrolling trough my homescreens while just slightly touching the screen, it acts up really hard.
The screen just isn't responsive enough imo.
I'm wondering if other people got the same issue, and if it is hardware or software related.

Funny. I have my oneplus one since a week ago more or less and i also noticed this issue in the very first days of use. Now i've opened facebook app to make some scrolling and see if the problem is still there and i have to say that i don't notice it anymore. Strange, but this is what i feel O_O

Hmm, maybe you just got used to press a bit harder onto the screen (which helps). Would be great if it's really disapearing after a while
Got mine for 3 days now.

I have the exact same issue with my OnePlus after 3 weeks of use. At first it was the swype issue where the phone wasn't picking up swypes properly on the middle left side of my screen. I use a pattern unlock so it's annoying when the dots don't connect.
The next thing was not picking up my touches properly so when ever I use SwiftKey and they recommend words, I could never properly select it because the touchscreen wasn't registering properly.
I did a factory reset and it solved the problem at first but it's now back after 2 days. It's not as bad as before but still persistent. There are tons of people on Redit, Cyanogen and the OnePlus forums that are reporting the same problem.
The good news is it seems like a software and not hardware issue, hopefully the permanent fix can come soon.
Possible solution to the supposed OnePlus One touch sensitivity problem
Settings→Developer Options→ Scroll About Half Way and UNcheck "block gesture touch events"
Also try and see if unchecking "Adaptive backlight" in Settings→Display & lights→ Adaptive backlight, helps.
Of course none of these are permanent solutions. And this problem is real. But maybe the "solutions" above help.
ive not had these issues just yet. but i do get annoyed by gesture control
This still needs to be addressed. It's almost as bad as an old capacitive touch screen!
I got my phone maybe a month after it was released. After exactly 4 months the touchscreen input died and lost all sensitivity. Typing became impossible. After going back and fourth with support for 2 months they finally sent me another one. The new one was excellent for EXACTLY FOUR MONTHS!! Almost to the DAY! My damn touch is broken again and I can't type. I'm furious! I'm also 1wk outside warranty.
With the first phone I tried every hack, crack, rom, reformat, anything I could find. Nothing would restore the touch. I assume it's a hardware issue. I've been looking around for a solution but haven't found anything. If there is anything, I would appreciate some direction.
Sorry for everyone that ever wasted their money on OnePlus, I won't be getting any more products from them...

Touchscreen issues are finally gone?

I blamed OnePlus for months for not doing anything for the annoying problem related to the touchscreen panel in a lot of models of the OPO. I was sure it was an hardware problem and only a RMA could have done something for me. I couldn't return my phone cause i always need it and i didn't have alternative phones to use. So i just gave up, living with some not-extremely-frustrating-unresponsiveness during fast typing.
But...
After installing the last official CM11S update (the 05Q one), i noticed some strange responsiveness during a chat with a friend. I was curious, so i reinstalled YAMTT for some test. I couldn't believe that all my inputs were perfect even at fast speed. I still don't know if it was a software or hardware issue, but OnePlus seems to have finally fixed my situation.
Looking for your experience after the update.

Not yet they aren't. It appears to have affected the functionality of double tap to wake for some people.
Doesn't seem like they're updating us on the investigation either. If they've fixed it using software, at the very least they should tell affected users why all the previous updates didn't work for them.
I've been on the nightly road since mid August, in my experience touch issue improved a lot after the touch firmware update in October, however there are still very rare cases where finicky / unresponsive touch happens, you don't want that when you ask someone for her contact in a bar on Halloween and she can't input the letter 'n'.
After that I think I experienced touch issue twice, I foolishly thought this was fixed sometime ago, however it came back big time the day before yesterday, and I was on the latest nightly... So in short, touch issue is not gone

this is hopeless, I just went and looked at touch firmware updates, last ones are 1221 at the end of october and 1222 around new years, I remember it working ok during that time, and some time after that, how come I am experience severe touch issue these couple days, touch turned into swipes, swipes registered as touches, unresponsible parts on the screen. I am almost beginning to think it's about the weather/temperature, problems are more frequent when I am out hiking for a long time.
although somebody mentioned that last change was having problems days after http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/83558/

There are at least two different touchscreen issues as far as we know:
One is where the touchscreen is semi-terrible all the time regardless of temperature
The other is where the touchscreen becomes unresponsive with the increase in temperature, and subsides if the phone is restarted or cools down
Is there a way of finding out which firmware is being used for colorOS?
I can't take this anymore, I am considering flashing either 44s or color OS

S6 users...question..

hey guys, for those who used the S6 for a week or more, is there any issues? i know some said heat issues and LED...but those are small bugs that can be fixed with a small update...what about lag, stutter?? because you cant judge the performance after a day of use....thats why i want an answer from users that used the device for a week...THANKS

everything is perfect with my 64gb T-mobile model except for this battery bug which i am assuming will be fixed when the next update will come out which should be soon i am guessing. nothing wrong with the hardware or software (lag, stutter, app crashing, restarting). The battery bug i hear can be fixed by turning off VoLTE and i think d/c the wifi.
it really is a solid solid phone

Depends on what you're used to. If you're coming from a phone that lags badly, the S6 will be an improvement. If you're coming from a very smooth phone like a Nexus 6, Z3, M8/M9, Moto X, it won't be as smooth. For example, a few days ago I was watching a Youtube video, I pressed the Home button, the home screen showed up but the icons/clock widget took a couple of seconds to show up. This hasn't happened again though.

Tested the S6 Edge for over 1 week, on that one there is a specific issue with the touch keyboard sometimes being flaky for the '1' and 'a' keys to the side of the screen. Somehow to do with the Edge screen I think. No biggie. Other than that I did not experience any issue like heat nor LED. I did get a weird LTE/CDMA issue with my local SIM provider, but for now that is not an S6 issue imho. It does get fingerprint-dirty quickly, and the first minute scratch on the front screen is already there. Nothing serious for now.
FYI - I posted my detailed review in Dutch at Tweakers.net (same username).

Having massive issues with mine, trying to get an exchange going. Massive lag, FCs, memory leak... I can't have Google Nav and Pandora going at the same time, Pandora just shuts down. Half the time I get lag as I try to dial out, and half of THOSE times, it just crashes the dialer.
Not to mention the annoying crap, like the "456" SMS from T-Mobile shows up under my girlfriend's name, for some reason.
T-Mobile was supposed to have a replacement out to me on 4/8, but UPS lost it. Lovely.

some guys reported some issues, some lags, FC but your phone seems a bit too much....its better to replace it with a new one...
I've had mine for over a week now, on T-mobile. Coming from a Nexus 5 that was plagued by the 5.0 memory leak for several months (finally got fixed for the most part in 5.1), I can definitely say this phone is suffering from the same symptoms. After a few days the phone will start to get laggy and some apps will close (only one that has closed so far has been Chrome -in my experience from the N5 and on this S6, the more you use the Chrome browser, the faster it happens). I check the memory stats and every time system is taking up 1.2-1.3 GB. Same problem as on the N5.
Hope they get it updated to 5.1 a lot sooner than Google updated the N5....I don't want to go through 6 months of this crap again. I'm hoping the huge install base will push them to release a 5.1 update quickly.
Mine showed up from T-Mobile on 4/2, so I'm nearly two weeks in at this point. So far, the only real disappointment has the battery life. I wouldn't call it bad at 18-20 hours, but I've had better. Wireless and quick charging has made it almost so easy to top it off, however, that I've not yet had to worry about it. So it may be a trade off, or it may be (as some suspect) a software issue that will be corrected either through an OTA or when roms start rolling in.

Camera is laggy as hell

Same issue anyone?
Laggy in what way? The UI, camera interface or shutter speed?
The phone is junk.
Half baked software on the camera, plenty of hardware issues. Instead of releasing 5 phone a year Sony should stick to 1/2 and refine the software/hardware.
Its 2017 and the camera software and output is now basically behind that on the iPhone 6. Hell my Z3 compact takes better pictures.
I'm sorry you feel that way... Go back to iPhone! This is the best handset from Sony in sometime now and none of the problems you mentioned have been highlighted. You must be having a localized issue so stop thrashing categorically as it's isolated to you. Constructive criticism goes much further than complaints

I guess you refer to the camera speed when shutter key is pressed half-way (autofocus locked in). This is "normal", it's because the predictive capture is on, the camera is taking a lot of pictures, it happens in auto mode. Try to switch to manual mode and see if the problem still occurs.

Man, thats unusual. I sell Sony Devices and eceryone thats had The same problem Was because they were pushing The Camera bottom (the physical one) unintentionally. Please next time check it carefully and let we know
I never really had any problems with the camera or the phone itself.
You're bound to find a lot of posts regarding issues with ANY phone, because more people are likely to post a complaint rather than praises.
Regardless, all phones have issues. If you don't like it, simply sell/return it and move along. No need to be salty.

I think getting a new screen/touch replacement is the best way to fix touch issues.

Just like what I said in the title, I'm about to get a new screen replacement as I heard newer batches don't have any touch related issues. I'm a hardcore gamer and I think touch is very important for me when playing games.
Already 3 months and 'software fixes' regarding touches is not working great.
My phone is from september batch and running 8.12.27 beta and facing touch lags around edges.
Clean flashed 8.12.20 now more multi touches issues under notch.
Is there anyone else who already got a screen replacement?
Any issues like screen bleed/touch delay/multi touch and so on?
Under warranty??

Yes
I also have the same problem but I'm on the stable Pie version of the ROM.
I still havent found any problem though. My screen does have a lil bit light bleed. Still,no touch issue yet.
buy a switch or something, you can consider yourself as ''hardcore gamer'' if you play un phone xD
I'm also facing touch lag around the edges.
The screen center is lag free though. Latest stable Pie didn't improve anything. I also have a little bit of screen bleeding around the notch.
Does the warranty cover this?

How about doing 'qi'test and see if it outputs iq on your Poco.
What ROM you using?
Any multi touch issues when playing tap intensive games like drums or MOBAs?
I think you might be wasting time because I'm pretty sure I've seen someone here or on Reddit say that they had their screen replaced and it did not fix the touch issue for them. Keep in mind after replacement that any of the beta releases from 8.11.23 on (except for the 8.12.27 update) have a new kernel which fixes the delay on the right and left edge and improves scrolling. So if you wish to test if the replaced screen did fix anything, use the stable ROM or the .27 beta to check that.
I must be one of the ones without the screen issue then.

What exactly is the touch issue?
I Got Armoured edition 128GB delivered yesterday itself. Updated it to MIUI 10.1.3.0 PIE and i am facing no issues as of now. No screen bleeding and no touch Issues.
I would like too to know how to detect those display issues.

Ofcourse I'll use the Stable ROM to get a new screen instead using beta.
I can replicate those touch issues on Stable i.e touch delay on edges.
It'll be useless to ask for a screen replacement using a beta just to find out all the store did was just change it from Beta to Stable to 'fix' the touch issue lol.

If you're on Stable pie, type 'qi' fast and most Pocos will output 'iq' even though pressed q first then i. This is touch delay issue.
If you're on 8.12.20 beta, theres screen freezes and multi touches under the notch if you tap and slide 2 finggers at the same button with a bit of force for it to occur. Screen freeeezes also happens where you cannot register ANY touches on the screen until you lock and unlock your phone

Well, I'm still not sure. Sometimes, I will do it quickly and output is "qi" but sometimes I do it quickly, output is "iq" but I'm not sure if I pressed "q" or "i" first, because of the speed. It's there any other way to prove it?
And if it have lags, who can feel those? Because I definitively not.

'q' then 'i' super fast and make sure you know what you are pressing first.
Or you can try 'p' then 'e' quickly see if it comes as 'pe' or 'ep'
Every Poco have it. Forget about it and wait for the fix or just change to another device. If you're really hardcore, I'm assuming you a PUBG gamer, you should know that gyroscopic is the best way to aim on the game and the touch issue means nothing.
I can confirm by testing it, that switching from 8.12.27 to 8.12.10 touchscreen fw the delay is improved. At least, according to the maximum speed that I can type, performing the simple test of typing q and afterwards g or q and afterwards i, with the 8.12.10 is always printing on the screen the right order of the letters I ve typed, thus qg/qi, but on 8.12.27 always the outcome was gq/iq. My device is made on Oct.2018.

Oh that's interesting. Some people here claim that newer batches don't have the touch problem yet you seem to have the exact same issue as my unit which was assembled in July 2018. Full four months and the issue still there... That is why I don't believe there are Poco users who don't have this problem.

I just don't know.
It's just that maybe some units aren't affected.
I heard some random guy in the Poco reddit got a pocophone around September and bought another Poco for her little brother 2 months after that and what happened is his poco has touch issues while his little brother's doesn't have any.
That's why I thought I'm gonna get a new screen replacement
