Touchscreen insensitive - Vivo Nex Questions & Answers

I've noticed the touchscreen is a little bit slow/lazy when I activate navigation gestures.
The lazy response area is only on the bottom-left of the display, and it concerns only the "A" letter of my qwerty keyboard (a very small area).
This lazy response of the touchscreen is on all other apps, not only in the keyboard, and it concerns only that small area.
If I use navigation buttons, the problem disappear.
I don't know if this issue was present also in previous OS version because I've tried using navigation gestures today
I've the Nex S 8/256GB, PD1805_A_1.17.10
Anyone noticed this?

Exactly the same here...
Sorry for this (maybe too) late answer: Have exactly the same issue. I'm used to write really fast on my phone, but since having the Vivo Nex, I'm slowed down extreamly because of this. Also for me just the "A" letter is the problem. Doesn't matter which keyboard or size (tried several), it's always laggy...
I really hoped this would be a thing of the past after the newest "Funtouch-update" from some days ago, as they've been writing about "better touchscreen accuracy" in the changelog... But nobchanges at all concerning this point...
Did anyone already found a solution against this, without having to turn on those ugly navigation buttons on the bottom of the screen? I really like the three swiping gestures.

Same on my side
Seems as my previous post has been deleted / went lost...
I've exactly the same problem here with the "A" key of the keyboard being really slow on my Vivo Nex S (256GB, global version). Hoped this problem would fade away after the newest "Funtouch" update 3 days ago, because they wanted to have solved exactly this problem, what Vivo told us in the changelog...
But all kept the same. Tried already three different keyboards with different settings, no success. Does someone has a solution for this?
But I really DON'T like having the navigation buttons visible, so this is no option for me. I definitely want to use the original slide actions for the three buttons below the screen...
To be honest: I'm using the Nova Launcher over the Funtouch System (the Funtouch launcher is absolutely useless). Could this have an influence?

This happends to me too.It seems there s area down to the bottom of screen is not sensitive enough.
I have vivo 1805 which is Taiwan version, not sure if this model same as the global version. And I also try to flash the chinese version ROM but failed cause of the signature difference. The update progress in Taiwan is not as fast as chinese. Hope VIVO in Taiwan could release the fix soon.

Well, not sure if this is the same issue on my device, as the sensitivity seems to be ok on mine, but I have to push the "a" button much longer (not stronger) than all others. So just a laggy key... And REALLY annoying!
But "good" to hear that others seem to have comparable problems. If there just finally would be a fix for this on the Vivo phones...?

Hey guys. I have been facing the same issue and started experimenting with navigation replacements. So as you guys realize, sensitivity is just fine when using the nav buttons but there are a lot of keyboard mistypes when using Vivo's own navigation gestures.
Therefore, after expermintation, I can confirm that the app called "Fluid Navigation" is an awesome replacement for the navigtion gestures. XDA Navigation gestures is slightly incompatible with the Nex. But Fluid Navigation works perfect.
So all you need to do is follow these steps
1, Switch to Nav buttons
2, Install the app
3, Grant accessibility permission
4, Grant Write Secure Settings through ADB. The app gives instructions for this
5, Hide the nav bar through the app
6, Customize the gestures in the app. It even allows quick settings swipe up.
Hope this helps. Enjoy guys. You will definitely feel the difference

Loving the gestures

So almost immediately I switched my buttons to the gestures and I absolutely love them. The back button gestures being on both sides is awesome because I swap hands frequently when surfing the web or really when in any app. The home and recents also feel very natural. Maybe I love it so much because I also have an iPhone X with similar gestures. By the way did you guys notice tapping the notch while in Instagram takes you back to the top just like on iOS? Is that new? I had never noticed it before.
Who else lives the gesture based input?

I am also using the gestures, I love gestures navigation a lot than the button(soft or hard) inputs. But I would say, the gesture could be more snappy and smooth! Anyway, loving it.
Loving them too. Although i feel like the multitasking animation could be a little bit faster than that. It's a tiny bit too slow for me.

Swipe up less.
I have an iPhone x as well and must say that I also love the gesture navigation on the OnePlus 6. It's strange because the big Youtube reviewers were all hating on the OP6 gestures for some reason. Some even said that they are "nowhere near as good" as the iPhone X gestures. But I don't find that to be true. In side by side comparisons, the "Home", "Back" and "Recents" gestures are much snappier on my OP6 than my iPhone X. And they've worked flawlessly for me so far.
I don't plan on going back to normal nav buttons of any kind. I'm hoping that when Android P is officially released (not beta) for the OP6, OnePlus implements the same gesture navigation options that we have now, rather than adopting Google's way of doing it with Android P on the Pixel.
I love the new gestures.... I don't feel the need to put back the navigation buttons.
My only complaint is that the Split screen feature takes a little bit longer to activate : instead of using a long press on the recent button, I have to go in recent apps, select an app and slide it to the top.
The navigation gestures are fantastic! The additional screen real estate is really nice. It only took a few seconds to master the gestures without even thinking, very intuitive. The only gripe I have is how long it takes to get the recents menu to appear. I do wonder if One plus will stick with their gestures or go with Google's in Android P.
Just started using the gestures and I'll agree, they aren't as bad as the reviewers make them out to be. Takes some getting used to.
I am having an issue though, when I go to homescreen with the keyboard open, it will always input either a space or b/g. Anyone else having this?

I just tried to duplicate this issue for the last few minutes with no luck. are you using the stock keyboard? Are you swiping up from the bottom bezel of the phone or where the display starts?

Stock Gboard. I guess I just need to be more deliberate with the swipe. I can get it done now just need to get used to it.
I moved yesterday to the gestures and I love it
I love the gestures. I only wish animations be a bit smoother. I would like to look see a nice balance between speed and smoothness.

I like the gestures but I want some more options. I added LMT Launcher to the sides as well so I don't always have to reach to the bottom.
I like the gestures but my recents isn't very smooth. I notice if I'm in an app and I hit recent there is a nice animation but if I'm on the home screen and hit recents I don't get that nice animation and it just goes to recents.

I'm surprised I took to the gestures as fast and as well as i did. I went back and forth a couple times the first hour and I have only been using the gestures since and this was late Friday after noon. the biggest thing I like about the OnePlus' gestures is whichever hand I'm holding the phone in I don't have to reach for the back button. The back gesture is in both corners for easy access to go back. In fact either hand is easy to use all gestures.
I do have an issue though as I use the swipe up option on folders to access them and I only keep folders on my 3 page dock setting in Nova launcher. I like a very clean home screen where I can see the wallpaper without clutter. This sometimes activates the home gestures when trying to access the center folder on the dock. I have learned that I have to swipe up on the very top edge of the folder icon to make sure it knows what I want.
I do wish that OnePlus keeps these gestures as an alternate option to Android P gesture implementation.
I'm really liking the gestures too and I was on of those guys that though "this isn't for me". I was wrong!
I just think they could be better, couple of more option for the right and left swipe up. Don't see the need to have the same gesture twice.
Back, recent, pull notification down, etc, would be three nice options to put in left or right swipe up. Screens this days are giganting, a gesture too push notification panel down would be great.
The swipe on the middle shouldn't be based on time, but on hight. This way we didn't have to wait for the recent apps to show up. Short swipe up = home, higher swipe up = recents. Would be faster this way.
But, anyway, loving it.
Yup. Love the gestures, just wish there was a quicker one for recent apps but that's minor. It's funny going back to my old phone to move over files I find myself constantly doing gestures and wondering why it's not working [emoji23]

I'm using this phone since three days ago and I immediately noticed this issue, and it is specially annoying when I try to use swipe writing. I suspected that occurs because the system doesn't know if your are trying to write using the keys located at the edges of the screen like q, p, etc. or just using gestures. In consequence I tried to adapt the keyboard using the one hand feature (Google keyboard) and putting it in the center of the screen and it worked, the lag disappear. I'm attaching a screenshot because my English sucks. I hope you can see this way what I did.
I tried turning on 'Show virtual keyboard' in Settings > Languages & input > Physical keyboard, and it seems much better for me now.

I have already reported to MIUI team but while they do something about it, i've installed Edge Gestures to replace full screen mode, to hide navbar i've installed Navigation Gestures and finally AutoNotification for hidding apps in background notification. I have lost gestures animations but works perfect and the only issue it's volume bar in landscape like the image attached.
This is a nightmare and makes the device horrible to use.
I reported it to MIUI team weeks ago. The best solution for now is disable vibration on keypress within Google Keyboard, which makes it way less noticeable.
I'm using miui 10 weekly on eu roms, the problem is still there...
I'm on xiaomi.eu 8.8.3 and it seems like it has been solved through software update. I no longer have the issue testing in sketch app, or using any keyboard with full screen gestures.

Xiaomi Gestures and gesture typing

I have gestures enabled on my mix 2s and I love them. So much more screen real estate to play with. However I find they interfere with gesture typing (eg: Swype or Gboard). In particular the 'p' is very difficult to swipe when a word starts with it. Anyone got a workaround for this? The MIUI back gesture (swipe) from edge really should only apply to the top 2/3 of the screen.
I also experience the same thing. I've just decided not to swipe close to the edge when typing

Excellent work around thanks!
This is by far the most annoying thing I've come across with this phone! Strange. I tried the draw app test rapidly tapping between the sides and got so many false swipes it was crazy. Hopefully the sensetivity can be adjusted in a future update. Xiaomi seems to be pretty good with updates so far.

Multitouch/screen issue ?

Hi there,
I just received my new Mi MIX 2S (actually, I got it 360 hours ago, if you know what I mean...) and I'm very satisfied with this toy
I'm on the last MIUI 10 Global Beta (8.7.5) since this afternoon, with SuperSU v2.82-SR5 and of course, with an unlocked bootloader.
However, I noticed a "strange" glitch/issue when I quick touching/typing.
It's seems that the screen not considering the different touch but acts like it does "two in one" touch.
I made a small video to illustrate the issue :
https://youtu.be/NdW8Zeo1MLQ
Does anyone has this too ?
Do you think it's an hardware or a software issue (like calibrate or touch-delay update) ?
Thanks

Bought mine on Aliexpress, no way I'll get a warranty without me paying $30 of shipping and lose a month without the phone.
I tried the XDA gesture thing, but you can't really get the same gestures as on MIUI (alsway have to make the gestures from the bottom of the phone it seems). So for now I'm just using it with this "bug", with the keyboard closing from time to time when I type.
Probably gonna get a Mi Max 3 to replace it anyway sooner or later.
I just made the thest you did with a drawing app and I got the same results when I multi touched the screen very quickly. I hadn't noticed this earlier because it didn't cause any problem for my daily use. Specifically, in which context did you notice that issue?

In my case, it's very annoying when I (fast) typing a message, it causes a "fake" swipe and recude the keyboard or go back to home screen. I'll try to make a better screencast to show you in-use case.

Fine, I'll tell you my experience. I use to had the same problem, it's only noticeable using the keyboard and specially when you tap the letters located near the edge of the screen, specially like the Q and P. I'm almost completely sure that the problem is related to gestures, because the system thinks you're swiping, in my case I got some lag too in addition to the false back gesture. What I did to fix this is use the keyboard (Google keyboard) in one hand mode (long press the "," and this option will pop up next to the emoticon) and moving it to the center and the problem is gone. It's actually more comfortable this way because the space bar moves up and it's more accessible. You can play then with the keyboard size if you think it's too small. There are two others threads talking about the same problem and I recommended this solution in both, and it seems to work for others too. Try it and tell us.

Hi,
Actually, I think it's more an OS issue than an hardware one.
After some tries and research, I noticed that these "screen glitches" are bad interpretations of fast multitouching, translate into swipe/gesture.
These swipe/gesture come with the gesture navigation mode, included in full-screen desplay (and which allow to hide the bottom navigation bar).
If you re-enable the "classic" display, with the bottom bar, the issue doesn't seem to exist. So, I guess for MIUI, some fast-typing/touching are interpreted as gestures (swipe down-to-up = home, left-to-right = previous...)
In the same registry, I noticed that, if you use a scrollable widget (Google Agenda in planning display) and if you scroll down on it (in order to see the bottom lines for example), MIUI interpret it as a down-to-up gesture (and so, go back to home, or search).
So, I really hope that in a future update, the sensibility of these gestures could be decreased/improved...
For now, you could :
Enable the one-hand mode ok Google Keyboard as proposed by @rodaven (but personnaly, I dislike the fact to have a small keyboard with a lot of lost space around it...)
Disable the full sceen display mode (and so, say goodbye to the gestures feature)
Stay on full screen mode and gestures, get upset when you write a message and pray for un update

In my opinion, it's the same issue.
Due to the full screen/gesture feature, fast multitouches are interpreted as a gesture.
On my video, you could see it.
On the issue from MIUI website, users asked that swipe/gesture are disable over keyboard when it's on-screen.
I think it should be a solution to combine gesture navigation and fast multitouch/type.
Personnaly, I disable full screen/gesture navigation (for now, sadly) and the issue desappear, that's why I'm pretty sure it's a software issue (which concern very model with this feature).
I changed my screen
Actually i cracked my screen and replaced new lcd from aliexpress claimed original. I checked it is JDI. But the touch issues still persist. I think its xiaomi driver.. or i dont know.. i really regret having this phone

It's very disapointing, I had touch screen problems with my oneplus one and now with the mix 2s.

Things i'd like to see fixed in the next update (L29)

Overall this phone has been way above expectations. There are a few quirks that hopefully will get addressed in a future update and hopefully Huawei is watching...
1. USB charging from laptop/desktop/car. It trickle charges at 200ma, most other phones charge at 1 amp and up connected to my car. Same with my laptop. Not having good charging in the car is a problem because I cannot use another charger with Android Auto, I have to have it plugged into the car's USB port. All my other phones would get at least 1 AMP charging rates, I don't need super charging or anything, but 1 amp or what the car can support out would be nice.
2. Camera crashing. I have to reboot the phone almost every day because I go to fire up the camera app and it cannot connect to the camera. I am not a heavy camera users either, but I do use video chatting about an hour a day. Basically all the cameras front and back just go offline after some use.
3. Using a 3rd party launcher like Nova, it's fairly buggy, but it sounds like this fix is already in the works so we'll leave it at that.
4. When using gesture navigation the left and right swipes for back need to be physically lowered on the screen to say the bottom third. There are a few apps that need this swiping action (Google play) that will close. I have to do the swipe way way up high to get the phone to not invoke the back button.
5. Less aggressive background task killing. I still have some things that get killed once in a while even with all the appropriate things set.
6. Some sort of on screen notification light or alert in conjunction with the always on screen so we can visually see at a glace if there is a message waiting. Just a simple flashing dot in the corner would do.
The only other thing I had noticed and this only happened once so might be a fluke was that the alarm clock failed to play my custom alarm tone, it instead played some fairly quiet beeping noise. Not good if you rely on the alarms waking you up.
The bugs I would like to see fixed are the gestures as well and the systemUI issue when using the minimum width setting in developer options and the fact that it resets after every reboot. Ive never had a camera issue with my device so I'm not sure if it's just related to something you have installed or just a glitch as I factory reset mine after I got it. Double tap to wake would be nice also.
What's buggy about Nova Launcher? It's working perfectly on my end.

Double tap to wake is a good one...
Nova Launcher - when swiping up to go to the home screen, most of the time it actually goes to the recent tasks. But I thought others that didn't use gestures had alot more issues?
I will clear data and cache on the camera app and see if that does any thing.... Possibly its the Line app I use for video chatting as that uses the camera alot.

Install OnePlus gestures from the Play Store (it's cheap) and use that. It will override the Huawei bottom gestures. You'll still have the Huawei side gestures though.

Thanks for the tip, that is a good workaround!
Except for the persistent notification you can't turn off....

Download fluid gestures from the store. Far superior to Huawei and OnePlus.

1. They won't change it. This is why the have a super charger for the car.
2. Never had a single camera issue.
3. Nova works like a champ. Uninstall stock launcher via ADB. Install fluid gestures from store, ZERO problems.
4. Use Fluid Gestures from play store.
5. You can change the background killing in development settings. To be less aggressive.
6. Won't happen. Have to find a workaround.

Fluid Gestures is indeed better than OnePlus Gestures...
1. A Car supercharger wont work with Android Auto, I can't imagine this is intentional as with any generic wall charger and cable I get about 2 amp charge rates.
Thanks a bunch for the Fluid Gestures. I always swiped to the home screen.

I was finally able to get ADB working and grant Fluid Gesture the capability to remove the navigation bar, however what I notice is that any time my keyboard is on screen (Swiftkey) the navigation buttons show up at the bottom again.
Are you guys seeing this too?
EDIT: I found the option to disable this in Fluid Gestures!
Set the system navigation to gestures. Fluid over rides it. No more navbar and perfect working gestures

Unfortunately that doesn't work. The Huawei gestures still run and work. If I swipe in from the right edge up high above the Fluid Gestures region the Huawei gesture does kick off unfortunately.
But I am able to disable the Huawei gestures completely and this is now working good. Especially since with Fluid I can disable only the left gesture, which make sliding out the Google Play drawer from the left work great now without closing the app.

While you're on your PC using adb I would also disable the Huawei launcher and any other apps you don't use. I got rid of about 60 apps that I don't use, most of them were Huawei ones like email, calendar, dialer, contacts etc.

I'd love to do that, but i'm afraid of breaking something I can't back out of....
When you say Disable do you mean delete?

It disables the apps. Just remove the launcher and the small Huawei things like email or whatever you don't use. You can leave everything else to be safe.
I'd like to see some camera updates.
The portrait mode for both the front and rear cameras are subpar. They don't perform as well as the GCam found on the 6T, let alone the actual GCam on Pixel phones.
I'm also experiencing Bluetooth issues with my headphones. They'll connect but audio will be significantly chopped up and delayed. I have to disconnect them and reconnect sometimes, and last time I had to unpair them.
Also would like to see better use of screen real estate. It looks bad having 5 quick setting tiles per row on such a big phone. 6 or even 7 would look great.

How did you remove the Gestures? Is there a specific app to remove via ADB?

They are off by default, It's under System Navigation.
Just leave Three-key navigation on and the system won't do gestures, then in fluid you do the ADB permissions to enable it to hide the Huawei bar.
UPDATE
So after using the phone for a while now, I'd like to update my original list of things that need addressing....
1. The constant crashing with the camera appears to have been fixed with a factory reset, so that is now fixed!
2. With Fluid Gestures it seems we have a decent work around for gesture controls with 3rd party launchers.
3. Less aggressive background task killing. I still have things once in a while that don't notify me on time with messages. When I open the app then the notifications come right in, this tells me the app is getting killed in the background. (Happens most frequently with the messaging app "Line")
4. I'd still really like some sort of notification icon on the screen with the always on screen, but I guess that's not a huge deal.
5. Really the only major thing is the USB charging at super slow speeds from my laptop or in the car. 200ma is just way too slow and is not like any other phone charging from the same sources.

Do you have the width setting in developer options on something other than the default? I noticed the camera crashed a lot when I had it set to 600 dp. Now I left it back to the default of 423 dp (text and screen at smallest settings). Icons and screen settings are still too big for me but everything is working fine.
Praying for root soon.

I didn't change anything in developer settings, I just move the 2 sliders in the display setting all the way to the smallest size.
But Factory Reset did fixed the camera crashing.....
