If I put the phone into landscape mode, with the system bar on the left side, it doesn't register touches along the left edge. If I switch it around, it works fine. If the system bar is hidden, touches in that same spot are registered fine. Can anyone else replicate this issue?

I can't replicate it. Sounds possibly like a hardware issue. Have you tried a reboot, hard reset, or seeing if an app is causing the issue?
I couldn't replicate this problem. Works fine with mine. Perhaps you are using an app that disables it?

It happens in every app, but I guess some rogue app could be interfering with it. I'll see if I can track it down if that's the problem. I really don't think it's a hardware issue, because it registers touches on that part of the screen in all other scenarios.
I've had no luck finding any app that could be causing this, still happens even when I restart in safe mode. Am I really the only one seeing this problem?
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open YouTube
2. Rotate device so the system bar is on the left side
3. Try to tap the left half of the back button

Hello. I have an Nvidia Shield tablet k1 on lollipop 5.1.1. Everything is great about this tablet except the touch screen. It is really sensitive. Also, when I am scrolling, it "jumps" and goes faster than I actually scrolled. It scrolls faster than it should. I found this thread on xda. It helped a little with the being too sensitive issue, but scrolling is still really weird. This is my second device since the first one's micro sd card was defective. They both are like this. Is there anything I can do, or do I just have to deal with it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/adjust-touchscreen-sensitivity-t2963326
I was opening a thread with this exact same issue. I'm not on stock though (using the latest CM12 nightly), so I don't seem to have the 'Sensor Calibration' option.
Also the touchscreen seems to register a touch even when the finger is not touching the screen.
On the other hand, if I scroll a very small distance (like 0.5 centimetres) the list I'm scrolling doesn't move at all. This doesn't happen on other devices such as my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 and is very annoying in some cases (some games, or moving the cursor for keyboard input).
I'll try to record a video of this behaviour.
What can we do to fix this?
Update: found a video (not mine) showing the issue I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08uPtusOJHQ
anyone else with this issue?
I also have this issue on/off sporadically on stock rom.
I'll be scrolling and itll jump back the opposite direction
Its like it looses track of the touch then catches it again.
It's irritating as my S5, Nexus 2012 have no problems scrolling smoothly.
I don't recall the original shield i tested in store to have this issue either.
Currently having amazon ship me a replacement to see if its just limited to the one I received. (QA issues)
Calibrating screen might fix the issues: go to About in settings and tap on model number until the calibration screen comes up. then hit calibrate. don't touch the screen then when it asks to reboot, reboot.

Did it fix the issue I posted the video about? I'm on Cyanogenmod now so I don't have the option to calibrate the screen, but I would consider going back to stock if it fixed this issue...
Calibration doesnt help at all , same issue at brand new k1. Nvidia says thats normal functionality lol
Yeah, very normal for a gaming tablet which would require precision...
Not trying to take up for this thing but I haven't had the first touch screen issue with it . so maybe not all is affected?? I've tried to replicate the issue but just can't everywhere I touch and slide is smooth
You mean it doesn't "jump" like the OP said? I don't seem to have that issue either.
I'm more concerned about the touchscreen's precision, as shown in the video.
Hi
I'm using trying to use the stylus and I get a weird behavior only on OnePlus One phone.
I've activated the "show touches" option in dev settings of OnePlus One, so I see the circle on each touch.
The issue is that the first time the finger touches screen and is moving inside that circle, the circle doesn't move. This makes all drawing apps not register any movement even though the finger is moving. Once the finger goes outside the circle, the circle starts moving and then even very small finger movements are registered by drawing apps.
This doesn't happen on Samsung Galaxy S3 and the drawing happens even inside that little circle from the first time screen is touched. This makes drawing apps very accurate even when writing small letters.
Do you know what might cause this? Is it a hardware or software issue?
I've tried to root OPO, install several mods like CM13, Sultan's mod, SlimSaber or Resurrect mod, didn't solve the issue.
Thank you!
Did you try to change firmware with another one?
I have the exact same problem too and I've tried every firmware every ROM every kernel there is. Sometimes a swipe turns into a tap too. I believe it's a OPO-exclusive hardware problem. It's the most frustrating thing ever
Hello guys,
I am fairly new with Huawei phones and phones with a notch.
Especially when using Instagram (browisng stories), the sides of the app are being cut, like the image is just smaller than on a normal/different phone. So if there is a text just on the edge, it would be cut and you would not be able to read it.
I was wondering if there is anyway to fix it.
I heared there is something like "fullscreen mode" for apps, but when I go to Settings and click it, Instagram is not on the list. Could I disable it (cause maybe it is enabled), just for this specific app?
No root etc.
Kind regards!

Im experiencing the exact same issue. What you can do is hiding the noth in system settings. Then you`ll get Insta (including stories) in fullscreen. BUT: Then the buttons for Text, Pen, image dont react to your touches. Its a complete mess. Can you confirm the problems with touch in hide notch mode?
I will check my IG app in a sec, but I think fullscreen mode is only available for apps that don't support the display.
I think apps like IG that natively 'support' these displays just don't display in the fullscreen mode settings.

The problem still occurs with hide notch mode ON, it is a bit better, but still edges on the sides are being cropped.
@Ephixi4 yeah I reinstalled the app, but fullscreen is not an option for IG. So it seems like it is either problem with a ROM or IG problem with not displaying their content properly for different res/notches.

Yes, I checked that, too. It doesnt show the entire screen. Did you check if the buttons work properly, when hiding notch is enabled?

I use the finger print scanner instead of navigation bar, that seems to work just fine.
I really wonder if it's OS issue for cropping app like that or IG.
Hoping for workaround soon.
@Larlen so I have notch visible but I have my soft keys hidden and I use the fingerprint scanner as navigation button.
Had no issues with IG app, maybe because of that?
But it seems more that the app is not very well designed to fit these screens and notch. When you want to edit a picture the brightness toggle is cropped because of the notch.
Sent from my EML-L29 using XDA Labs
It doesn't seem to be an issue with the notch, rather an issue with the screen ratio, with the notch not hidden it's 18.7/9, and with it hidden its 18/9, and it looks like alot of the apps are not optimized for 2/1 screen ratios yet

Well, I wasnt talking about the system navigation. I use the fingerprint sensor, too. I was talking about the Instagram Buttons in Story Mode, when hiding the notch. The Buttons for editing a story pic, before you actually post it.
These Buttons (for inserting a text, or a gif etc) dont really work...
Can yoo confirm? or dont you guys just dont use instagram storys?

I can confirm this. The story buttons are not responsive. I can get them to work sometimes after tapping on them continuously but it's super annoying. However, I found out that swiping up opens the sticker menu so that's a workaround at least.

Well, yes, but when I swipe up and see the emojis, they dont react neither...
Have the same issue. The buttons are not responsive because they are in the notch area. I've found they do work when you tap below the buttons as if they were below the notch area. The phone thinks the are still in the same spot as usually but it shows them in the top corner.
My insta stories also cuts of edges from pictures I made vertically. It's because of the screen ratio. I can't get them right even if I cut it the right ratio with an other app.
Why instagram still did not updated the app. The problem annoys too much. Anyone knows a workaround?
I use the fingerprint sensor to navigate and not the classic Android bottom bar.
I just tried right now on a story: if I use instead the classic bottom bar, I can see the whole story. If I hide the bottom bar, then the story takes the full screen and it crops the edges, right and left...
As someone said, it has to do with developers and not the phone I guess.
I hope IG will fix it soon
hey guys i am using the nova3i and have the same problem. What sux more that my friend told me that even my stories are being cropped once seen by them on their devices .
I've been experiencing a possible bug where I start getting random little haptic clicks happening by themselves. The clicks are pretty much the same as what you get when you take the S pen out of its slot or tap a nav bar button.
Basically the phone will behave fine for hours and then all of a sudden these haptic clicks start happening here and there while I'm using the device, but are not related to anything I'm doing at the time. So for example I could be turning the volume up or pulling down the notification shade and a second later I'll get a random click or two. It then keeps on happening intermittently as I interact with the phone. A restart fixes the issue every time - at least for a few hours - which makes me think it's a software bug of some kind.
Anything else noticed this? I'm using an unlocked UK Exynos version SM-N986B.
I am noticing the same thing and it is driving me nuts. ? It's constant haptic click like when the spen is removed and I can't figure out what it causing it. I have a Verizon US version. I seem to notice it when I have a case on it. Using the ESR case with the kickstand.

Good to know I'm not alone. Interesting that this issue can affect the Snapdragon and Exynos versions. I'll look into your theory about the case. I'm using a Ringke Fusion, but next time the clicks happen I'll take it off to see if that makes a difference.
Otherwise I guess this is just one of those little bugs you always get when you're one of the first to buy a newly released device. I'm sure they'll fix this in a future update.
I'be been using mine since last Thursday with an Otterbox case and have not had that issue, mine is an unlocked variant from the Samsung store.

That sounds like a strange bug. I have the N20U 512GB unlocked US version from the Samsung store and have been using it for 3 days now and haven't had that issue.
When you say "click" do you mean like a random screen press or a small vibration?

Small vibration. Like when you pull out the spen. It comes and goes. Hasn't done it for the last 4 to 5 hours and then all of the sudden it's starts doing it again. I may do a factory reset as I am having multiple issues from the spen intermittently not working, horrible studder when scrolling with the 120hz turned on, sub par photos that are washed out and blurred, and atrocious battery life. Maybe I got a complete dud.
So I ended up reformatting the phone and chose not to do a restore but download everything manually including the settings and apps. The odd haptic feedback click is gone as well as some of the other issues so far.

Ahh the old restoration bug striked again. The only things I restore are media/photos, messages and contacts. Great to hears the problem wasn't too serious.
Getting the same thing on Galaxy S20 ultra. I noticed that it all started after the update i got on the 21st
it feels like the side panel compass
when u have the bug again just tilt your phone a little and check the panel if its the compass

I also thought the compass could be the cause of this - like maybe it was still clicking on the 0° mark even when the side panel was closed - but so far I haven't been able to confirm that as the cause as it doesn't do it on cue.
In fact the last time I experienced the haptics bug I was editing the button order on the pull down quick panel, but I wasn't able to reproduce it this way a second time so it just feels like it happens at random times. And now suddenly for the last two days it hasn't happened at all, but I don't know if that's down to anything that I have done or a setting I changed
For me the jury's still out on this one.
I just had it start today! So annoying. I have no idea what it is. I do have the compass edge panel. I'll look out for that.
Snapdragon unlocked model here.
I just got the phone and I noticed the same thing. I did use the cable to transfer everything to the new phone. Nothing I tried worked until I factory rested it and manually installed my apps. I did notice that if I shake the phone it will do the haptic click a second after I stop shaking it. It seems to be coming from the bottom camera lens.
i removed the tools panel from my edge panel and couldnt reproduce this haptic bug again...
I am also having this problem too. Can't pinpoint what reproduces it yet.

There is no vibrate setting in Handle settings on mine. If you have that, then please post a screen shot.

Hi guys,
It often happens to me that screens shuts off when I try to click on top tier of screen, it's really annoying especially with full screen apps.
I recently put on screen protector film but I don't know if it's due to this.
Anyone has this problem ?
Many thanks.
Are you rooted and using [MOD][Xposed+Magisk][Pre-Release] AOSP Mods - System modifications for AOSP-based Android 12+'s option to double-tap the status bar to sleep? If so, it might be related to that setting. I was trying to reproduce a different bug, playing a full-screen landscape YouTube video and I found almost every time I tried to make the status bar appear and then drag it down, I accidentally shut the screen off.
Luckily for me, I rarely try to do something like that while in a full-screen landscape app, so I'm keeping that setting on.
If you're not rooted or not using that Magisk Module, then ignore this.
I'm not.
It happens even whith WhatsApp when I select a message in a conversation and try to click on delete icon located in top screen, screen shuts off.
Where is the promixity sensor ?
