Removing tempered glass fixed unresponsive touch for me. But in previous betas touch worked good even with tempered glass so this is temporary solution.
Is the responsive touch you're having means the screen somehow doesn't register any touches until you lock and unlock your screen for a temporary fix?
Or perhaps the nav buttons or the middle screen somehow are not registering?

Since .29 update touch in the middle does not register taps/swipes when phone stands on flat surface. And generally touch responds weaker in the middle of the screen. They/devs lowered touch sensitivity. I discovered it works fine without tempered glass, but it worked fine even with tempered glass on previous betas. I hope tommorow new beta will be released with touch fixes. I cannot use phone without tempered glass, risk of breaking the display is very high (I would have broken screen already if I had not have tempered glass on).
I got a kernel with these new touch drivers and it's horrible indeed. Haven't tried to remove the screen protector tho.
When i was on stable 10.6.0.0 the touch was perfect even when i buy my phone on miui 9 never face any touch issue but when i move to 8.1.29 i had touch issue on home screen its swipe left when i touch the deck icons

On stable miui there is edge touch lag when you type really fast. For example very fast typing "al" results "la" because touch on the left edge is registred slower than in the middle. So typing very fast a + k/m/l is registred as k/m/l + a. They fixed that on beta but broke other things... If you don't type really fast, than touch is perfect for you on stable.

Hopefully at the end they will make everyone happy.
It seems that touch is fixed in 8.12.7. I will report back if I find new problems.

Successfully update to open beta 8.12.7 via OTA (Locked Bootloader). Following are the observation :-
Good news :-
1) With the update 8.12.7 touch latency of keyboard is is minimized to a great extent but not fully gone.
2) 960fps and night mode is working.
3) Status Bar icon flickering is gone.
4) For me there were no screen flickering issue before the update nor after the update.
Bad news :-
1) Touch recognition near bezels (around 1mm from edges) is still not improved.
2) Youtube Vanced can't be played in picture-in-picture Mode when using full screen gesture.
3) Sometimes Back gesture in full screen mode doesn't work when any apps folder on home screen is open (it was also a bug on 8.11.29).
2) Youtube Vanced can't be played in picture-in-picture Mode when using full screen gesture.

Workaround for this is to go from yt vanced to recents view and choose some other app and then yt window appears

I just bought the Fuze. The screen looks awesome. However I am having a problem where the touch screen is very unresponsive. I find myself having to tap the screen two or three times to get it to react. For example, I have to tap the Windows icon a few times before the menu opens. I also find that pressing harder on the screen with my finger or stylus makes it react a bit better as well. I shouldn't have to press that hard however. I never had an issue like that on my Kaiser.
Was wondering if anyone else has this problem. Could it be an unoptimized OS or video driver? Any way to adjust the sensitivity of the touch screen? Basically, I want to know if this might be an OS issue vs. a hardware issue.
I hate to return such a nice phone because of how unrepsonsive it is.
BTW, I am using ROMeOS v1.4.
Thanks for any inputs.
Its probably not defective in anyway. The fuze screen is a resistive screen, not a capacitive screen (the iPhone), so you do need to press a little harder. You can install the advanced config app and/or the TF3D customizer app to change the screen sensitivity. I have it on my fuze and it does make quite a difference.
FYI you need .NET compact framework 3.5 in order for advanced config to work

Thanks for the reply. What setting did you use?
I just use the TF3D config with performance setting #4, which is the screen sensitivity one, I believe. I find that to be the best setting. The other thing you might wanna try, even though it may seem obvious, is realign the screen. that could cause some problems.
Screen Not Responsive
my screen has become unresponsive over 75% of the time. same w/stylus or finger. already adjusted sensitvity through Advanced config tool, and Diamond tweak. try to re-align screen, and most of the time, screen does not even recognize the taps. This happened on previous one I exchanged. HELP ! !
Do you have a screen protector on your device?
I noticed that my Touch Pro was very unresponsive until I got rid of the stock screen protector and used it bare-screen
Try the second cab in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469865
It drastically increases sensitivity for our pleasure--i felt that it does a better job than TF3D and Advanced Config. There may be an issue with your ROM--my old Tilt would lag on me dependent on the ROM even when the programs installed were identical. Currently using NATF's.
Screen Not Responsive - fixed
Wow ! !, I never would have thought it was the screen protector. I took it off, and it works great. thank you to TehPenguin. maybe it needs to be changed more often, or use a different brand.
That, was my second guess...but seriously, try the cab...
If you're using a snap=on case that can also cause the screen to stop responding. I was using a very cool looking red snap-on case I got from ebay. I got home from work today pulled out my phone to do something and it was completely unresponsive. I finally took off the case and it worked fine.
if i try to slide right after pushing the lock button, it doesn't response rapidly. I have to wait one second to slide the slider. Is there any way to get rid of this delay? I want to slide right after pushing the lock button
I have tried tommy's fix and heartwolf fix however they didn't make a big difference.
Any suggestions?
This has been there since the introduction of the new lock-screen that came with wm 6.5. As far as i am aware there is no fix. The tommy fix mentioned does not work for me. i just live with it, but if it bothers you try s2u2 that has no delay.
i wonder how is it fixed in s2u2. can't we the delay fix only?

I did notice when i used s2u2 slightly higher battery usage. So maybe it has something to do with the device coming out of a power saving mode. I have also tried the htc mini hd lock-screen. But that suffers from the same delay. Hopefully it will be fixed by ms.
It is a bug on the touch screen driver, it takes more or less a second to actually start detecting touch. Will happen with any (touch)lock screen. However in Pocketshield you can opt to use automatic unlocking (with proximity or light sensor), this way you don't have to wait for the touch screen.
I found Tedd's Droid Tools today. It has two features:
1) offers an alternative way to answer the phone when it is locked (use camera button or a long tap screen button)
2) In-Call Screen Guard
Quote from the developer:
I wrote this for my wife whose hair messes with the proximity sensor that shuts offyour screen during calls causing accidental hangups, mutes, etc. About 3 seconds after answering a call (or starting a new one) a screen will pop up over the normal in call screen which has a button in the center you can long press to exit out with. When the screen goes dark, the screen guard will restart as long as you are still in a call.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is an issue with the current version causing the screen lock to display right after the alternate answer screen appears. For those who have an issue with the slide/stretch to answer on your Backflip I tried this out and it answered every time (about ten tests). I had to hit the menu key and then either the camera key or the on-screen button the app adds.
The extra protective screen may be useful for those who have a problem with the proximity sensor not working as designed for you. The developer mentions that his wife's hair gives the one on her phone fits.

Yeah - it presents it's option as an overlay to the stock answer screen.
On your phone does it cause the screen lock (not the pattern lock or pin lock) to pop up?

I found something called 'Tedd's Answer Call Tool - Remixed!' installed on my phone.
I didn't install knowingly and now I cant find how to uninstall it.
Any help would be appreciated.
After seeing a lot of comparison videos of the HTC One m8 and the Galaxy S5 I realized one of the big things HTC has is their motion launch gestures. Unfortunately for HTC it is limited to doing just a few things. So since the Galaxy S5 has an OLED screen which is turned "off" when displaying black pixels, I figured I could create something like the motion launch gestures that uses minimal battery.
So I created Knockr an app that allows users with OLED Screen devices, like the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Moto X, to quickly enter an app with gestures without having to turn the screen on.
Gestures include:
Double Tap: Double tap the screen to open any app you choose or unlock the screen
Swipe Up, Down, Left, Right: Users can set each Swipe to open a separate app or unlock the screen
Long Press: Long press the screen to open any app you choose or unlock the screen
Volume Up when in Landscape: Pressing the volume up button when the device is in Landscape will automatically open the camera
I am still working on improving some of the things in Knockr, but wanted to post it on here to get some feedback and suggestions to make it better.

**EDIT**
The newest update 2.1 now includes Knocks. Knocks is like LG's Knock Code. You can create multiple Knocks to unlock or open apps.

Going to give it a try with my Galaxy S4 Mini, I hope it's not too harsh on the battery. Nevertheless this application seems like a great idea, Thank you.
EDIT: Seems to work very well. Just a few things I noticed.
-The screen can turn on by a single touch to the screen (it will then display lockscreen)
-The backlight keys turn on after the app is activated once the screen is locked (the keys are only on for a few seconds on my phone anyway, no big deal)
-Is it possible to decrease the delay between when the phone is locked and when the Knockr app is loaded/active?

You said that this is for screens with OLED yet someone commented checking whether it would work with their S4 Mini. Now I thought that S4's had AMOLED which was different, if I'm mistaken, does this mean that it will work on my S4-19505?
Thanks, it looks brill by the way.
Nandish-
AM-(OLED) your device has an OLED display. It only works with OLED type screens cause they use no power to produce black screens.

Only one touch and the screen is awake to show the lock pattern on Samsung S4.
What an awesome app! My only recommendation is to take away the one tap to turn on the screen, as the screen can accidentally turn on in your pocket very easily and cause unwanted battery drain.

Thanks for the feedback. It shouldn't use much battery especially if you use the power management since you probably wont have your phone turned off to often outside of your pocket during the day and if you do you can just turn it over and still get the same benefit.
I have already uploaded a new version that has removed the single tap action so there aren't any false touches registered. It also made the screen on an option to choose for any of the gestures. It also fixes a bug that cause Knockr to close when the orientation was changed after being pocketed.
Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to load Knockr any faster since I already have it setup to load as fast as possible. The problem is that I have to use a broadcast receiver to receive the screen off and the broadcast takes a little bit of time to be sent out (I'll keep looking for ways to make it faster though).
Really cool app!
Few recommendations:
1. Any way to show clock and notifications every couple of seconds? (Ex 15s)
2. Way to bypass knockr when power button is pressed.
Thanks!

awesome app
awesome app.
but there is delay while unlocking phone (or performing any action while screen is locked).
i don't know it is because of my s3 or app
but cool idea.
one more suggestion screen should be unlocked after pressing power button.
mind blowing app.
works great.
thanks for this and keep going on.
it is really nice idea.
questions :
can it detect multi finger on screen off? we might get more gesture thts why only.
screen segmentation? means on some part of screen it detects then that gesture recognized.
just some ideas.
Awesome app. Just awesome. I didn't want to install a custom kernel just for this feature and now I don't have to. Working great at the moment. Power button is no use for unlocking but app is working with almost no hitch.
A suggestion for people who use this. Install screen on&off from play store and add that to nova launcher's double tap gesture to lock the screen. Now you can use double tap to both locking and unlocking.
Also, I have to swipe twice to open an app. Can't we do that with one swipe?
Edit: It opens with one swipe but it isn't always working. Needs some work.
Bug
found a bug :
proximity sensor always on for me on stock 4.4.2 Note 2 N7100.
whether i check power management or not.
App works on Galaxy S3, only that the proximity sensor thing for pockets, it isn't very accurate. I kinda cheated to test it, covered my sensor, then swiped left to try to launch camera, and it did. I didn't want my camera to be turned on and heating my phone in my pocket during school

I don't have a OLED lcd panel but I decided to try it. is it because I don't have a OLED panel that the screen shows black with 2 navigation buttons on it? And if that's the reason is there a way to make it work on TFT panels?
I am having this issue with my Verizon Moto X. Does it need any extra settings?
It installed on Galaxy Nexus (It is having SUPER AMOLED), when I double tap, screen wakes but shows black screen.
Cool app!
I can see navbar when i turn screen off though. And i can press power button and turn device off...

Hey! This works very nicely! I'm having no problems so far. However, on my stock 4.4.2 Samsung Note 3 N900W8, I've noticed that if I have Multi Window on (use two apps at the same time), the multi window tab shows on the screen when Knockr becomes active. Specifically, I turn off my screen using the power button, and a second or two later the tab pops up. I don't know if this can be prevented without turning multi window off entirely, but thought I'd bring it up. Great app!
Good morning,
For several weeks I have been observing and unfortunately the problem appears more and more often, the disappearance of the touch of the display ...
I am right-handed, so I use the phone a lot with my right hand on the right edge - at the height of my thumb, the connection between the keyboard and the communicator, once in a while my touch in the area of the p/0 and park buttons above - also other keyboard buttons do not work properly, keys next to it.
I use Swiftkey but never had a problem with it - could it be the keyboard that's the problem?
hardware issue, send it in for RMA asap
RMA u mean to samsung support?
Hi,
Samsung support is very stubborn (compared to dell which is very pro-customer).
I received the following advice:
1. Turn off the phone, enter the android menu and clear the cache - done.
2. Through samsung members, attach the error log from the phone and report the problem - I did.
I wonder what Samsung's next steps will be.
I have had the phone since October 22.
The problem with the screen appears more and more often.
*video* In the attachment I leave a video that scrolling (of a previously loaded page) just at the moment when the display goes crazy - as you can see (touch trace) I try to scroll in a classic way by moving my finger on the screen, but the page moves only as much as I move my finger, as if something somewhere causes an additional touch to stop scrolling. As you can see in the next part of the video, it improves for a while and then the same thing again.
Anyone had similar? How did it end?
Thanks greetings.
