Typing fast - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers

Does anyone experience it difficult to type fast, like some words are omitted when you type fast or their order is interchanged, say for example, the word wakanda, when you try to type fast it becomes something like wkaanda sometimes. Is it because of the tempered glass or me not being accustomed to the device yet? Those without tempered glass, how's your experience?

I kinda had the same feeling. I thought it was just for me.
had same issue with custom ROMs too.
dont know if it's a real issue or my illusion.

Yeah, I noticed something was off but then I ignored it thinking I might not be used to the device yet. Do you also sometimes feel that the device scrolls in a direction opposite to input, like when scrolling through xda, when you swipe your finger/thumb up lightly to scroll down, the device sometimes scrolls upwards a little instead and vice versa? Also, have you applied a tempered screen protector?

I am also facing same issue on my Redmi note 7 pro indian varient 4/64gb running on miui 10.2.8.0

having the same feelings on my RN7PRO china 6/128 with the global rom miui_VIOLETINGlobal_V10.2.8.0.PFHINXM_997265e49a_9.0.
Usually, I start to have these weird feelings after 10-20sec of typing with google keyboard.

Yeah, after a few seconds into typing, it starts missing out some letters. I too use gboard.

I recommend to go to settings and send feedback (last option at the bottom) about this. Hopefully, they will fix with the next update.

It is due to the touch problem, especially on edge of the screen. Refer to 'Touch latency' thread.
In my case, I have annoying scroll problem plus edge area of screen is not responsive thus typing Q and P is difficult.

At first I thought it was happening with me only because I moved from a 5.5" screen to a 6.3" screen and maybe my muscle memory is accustomed to type on my previous device from past 2 years so it would take me a week to get used to a new device. But I was wrong. These are touch latency issues happening with many users. I hope this gets fixed by an update.

Go to Settings > Sound & Vibration > Vibrate On Tap > Light
This should solve the latency issue or at least make it a lot better. This problem is occurring due to how the haptic feedback is synchronized with the touchscreen. If vibration is too strong it won't be able to stop and start in real time with each and every key you press thus causing a delay. The stronger the vibration and the faster you type, the longer it will take for it to finish reacting to each key press.

I didn't use vibrate on tap in my previous devices nor do I use it in this one but I still face the issue. The original post written by me was based on my experience of using the device without any sort of vibrations enabled and comparing it to my previous devices which also had vibration disabled.

Touch latency

I was having a tough time typing fast on the phone and made a post about it earlier. Trying to look for the issue, I came across these
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/9ntl73/is_your_device_affected_by_touch_latency_issues/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/a1m7ao/xiaomi_mi_a2_touch_latency/
Surprisingly, the behaviour is quite similar to these threads here. I request xda users with a redmi note 7/ 7 pro to carry out this small test of trying to type the words 'qu' and 'scope' fast (if possible, try to run this test a few times with space after each qu and scope, say 10 times, so that we can be sure that the results are consistent and do remember to type the same word 10 times consecutively and then move on to the other word and type it ten times consecutively) and report how many times it turns out as uq and scoep on doing so.
Please mention if you tried this test with:
a screen protector installed (also mention the type of screen protector, i.e. tempered glass or plastic) or without one
your device variant (indian or chinese) and
if possible your display manufacturer which should appear after typing *#*#6484#*#* in dialer and going to software information> lcm information
If you have any other devices, try this on them as well and report how it goes, so that we can have some reference points.
For reference my device is redmi note 7 pro indian variant with edge to edge tempered glass protector installed, lcm information: nt36672a shenchao panel.
Hello sir/ma'am, i just tried this "test" and i found no such issues on my device. If it is of any importance, my device is a chinese one.

Thanks for reporting sir/ma'am. Do you have any screen protectors installed? (If yes, tempered glass or plastic)
Your device variant description was indeed important, I'll update the original post requesting to include device variant as well.
Could you also provide the display manufacturer details? It should be appear after typing *#*#6484#*#* in dialer and going to software information> lcm information.

Thanks kind sir/ma'am. Could you also try typing scope fast for a few times and report what you observe?
Both of our devices have panels from the same manufacturer but mine has nt36672a instead.
I am sorry sir/ma'am, i made a typo in my last sentence. The display in my device also has a nt36672a designation. As far as typing scope, no mater how fast i try to type it, it always gets registered without any problems. I can not produce the issue you and some other users are facing.
I an facing a similar issue my is the global varient of note 7 pro and its lags during typing and i am using full screen tempered glass

So far, atleast 3 confirmed cases including mine.
Display: nt26672a video mode dsi shenchao panel.
Screen protector: none.
Device and rom: Chinese
I used Poco F1 which does not have any sort of touch problems. Always wondered that the fuss was about then this N7P.
There is certainly a touch delay which is worse if you use a keyboard with vibration: the mismatch between actual touch and vibration makes it feel like you are using a juice-spilled keyboard. I overcame this issue by greatly reducing strength of vibration and typing a bit slowly.
What still get me is its touch scroll behavior. Short fling, especially bottom to up, does not move screen in a smooth way. Rather, it scrolls a bit then abrupt break. Worse is when you are using Instagram. When you swipe left or right to see the next picture, it will show about 1/4 of it then jump back to previous one. Very annoying. Overall, it feels like I am using a phone with outdated CPU.
With Poco F1, this sort of touch problems were addressed heavily which lead Xiaomi to come up with fixes. I do not expect that will be the case with N7P. I am hoping that changing touch friction and scroll fling values in buildprop would at least make it less annoying. I may try that once I get unlocked.
I do not have the same issue, I use SwiftKey as my keyboard though if that makes any difference.
Have the RN7 Pro Chinese version with no screen protector.
I can't get the screen info, when I copy / paste the code and dial it does not complete?
That being said I have felt as if SwiftKey is a little laggy on my previous phone and it's better on the RN7 Pro - although not as smooth as on my Mi 5 I use to have.

I don't use vibrate on keypress but I still face the issue.
For Instagram, I just downloaded it to check that out and I too experience that sometimes it does not move to the next image and even moves backwards/to the previous image instead. One more thing I noticed was, on Instagram, when you go to explore and are checking posts which have 'more' (large amount of text and hence the option to read 'more') in their descriptions, it often jumps to the next post instead of allowing you to read more of what is written in the description, almost feels like the touch accuracy is off or might be just an Instagram thing.
Scrolling is also a bit inconsistent, on short flings, it sometimes moves downwards and then upwards a bit and at times it scrolls in the opposite direction (but that is rare).

Yes, that is the issue. It is too bad that the phone failed QC this bad; otherwise, it would have been a great phone.
BTW, is your phone unlocked? Are you using a Chinese version of the phone. I am wondering if changing to Indian rom or different roms would fix this issue.

Quite similar experience to mine except mine has a tendency to miss a's instead of e's.
Indian variant here, with shenchao panel, touch latency issues are there typing scope faster makes it scoep and also 4-5 times out of 10 times typing qt makes it tq
I have installed screen protector though
Issues are similar to my friends pocofone

dead zone on touch screen?

I noticed that when typing, (doesn't matter which keyboard) when I press the keyboard side keys, E.G. "P" or "L" they lag a tiny bit and when long-pressing, they take longer to recognize the keys.
Am I the only one noticing the glitch on the sides of the screen?
I've gotten two devices, and tested a demo model at Best buy and I found the same issue on all three.
It isn't that bad but I'd love to figure it out
Mine doesn't seem to have this problem even with a tg screen protector, i'll check at my local best buy to see if their demo model has the same problem whenever i have the chance.

I know this thread is old and dead but I noticed this too and personally I think it could be a bug/feature of Gboard, thinking like palm rejection on a laptop, it has that slight delay to reduce false inputs from your fingers touching the screen just holding the phone.
It might be worth it to try a different keyboard.
Using Hacker's Keyboards here. I noticed it with the A key. I have a theory that Moto Gestures is catching the signal first and then releasing after ms.

Screen sensitivity problem. Curved screen

I'm using "note 10 pro".
Nice device.
However, there is a "sensitivity problem" on the curved screen edges.
There are problems with the letters on the left and right sides of the keyboard.
Need to touch hard. Need to apply pressure.
There may be a software error.
Or they willingly reduced sensitivity.
How do I solve?
The edge of my screen where it starts to curve is not sensitive enough. The "1" and "0" and "a" and "p" keyboard keys are very difficult to press. I end up having to turn the phone side-ways so the screen flips making the keyboard position entirely on the flat part and not hitting the curved edge. This is very very frustrating to the point where I'm changing all passwords to not use any of those keys. Doesn't help much but a little. The phone got such great reviews but I find it very difficult to use because of the lack of sensitivity on the edges.
I don't have this issues with my 10pro. Maybe it's a broken device.
Gesendet von meinem Redmi Note 4 mit Tapatalk
Examine more carefully.
Touch the keyboard keys 10 times again in a row.
Tap hard. then soft tap.
You will notice.
Have absolutely no touch issue on my device. Zero. And I am very sensitive about things like that. I even use a UV Glue glass for it that I bought off ebay. (was bit messy to apply but I was prepared after using Whitestone glasses elsewhere.)
Aaanyhow. My device has superb sensitivity even with glass. IMO you have a faulty device.
I have also tried on different devices. they deliberately reduced the touch sensitivity on the rounded edges.
Please see in detail.
understand what I want to say.
I don't have a problem either.
I've tried it on 4 different devices.
sample:
Samsung has increased the sensitivity on the curved screen.
But it has developed a setting program for users.
xioami decreased sensitivity.

Really don't know mate. Never had any touch issues out of the box with the stock firmware.
Nor had any touch issues on my OnePlus 7 Pro. Nor on my GF's Note 9. Nor on her Note 10 Plus. Nor on my mother's S7 Edge.
I don't know. Maybe you have huge hands?
Ps.: I get it that YOU have a problem. All I am trying to say is ... the phone itself works perfectly. Without any touch issues. It's either you, or your device.

Hi, I don't know about the Mi Note 10 yet, but I definitely had a similar issue with the Galaxy S7 back in the day. It used to drive me crazy, because it happened while holding it with one hand in the car, and typing the number "1" for example was often hit or miss (I am right handed, normal hands). It's part of why I don't like curved screens and why I never bought another Samsung phone (I know Samsung mostly fixed the issue through updates).
I just ordered the Mi Note 10 despite of the curved screen, because of the camera. I didn't want to buy a phone from Hauwei and didn't want to wait for Samsung's S20, and the Mi Note 10 is at a killer price
Anyway, I hope I don't run into the same curve issue (worried).

I have no such issues.... The curve screen is more like edge.
And I am using Gboard as my keyboard and all the keys are working fine.
there is problem. make a very delicate soft touch.
Just touch the edge. tap very slowly.
also tap the middle of the screen.
there is a serious difference.

I am noticing a sensitivity issue with "p"/"0" on the upper right.
It doesn't register a light touch, it needs to be pressed deliberately and slower.
It's part of the reason I don't love curved edges.

Same. Oh well, maybe SOME phones don't work that well?
Honestly I'd prefer NO curve, but I can't find an issue with it.
I hate MIUI way more that I can't make it allow my bloody notifications in DND. It's like the worst nightmare ever.
I have mi & galaxy s9+, both phone have same issue.
Samsung have a official app to fix this issue, but Mi not.
At first I try use 3rd App the disable edge touch,, but not useful like Samsung.
Now I just use a new case. The case just let my plam not possible touch on curve edge.
I recorded a sample video. We can add some programs with Turbo Game setting. We increase sensitivity. But it is not enough. We cannot select every program. Even if it is selected, it is not enough. The problem continues on the edges.
It seems to prove that this problem is a software problem.
There should be a "disable screen sensitivity limitation" button in settings

There are problems with letters on the left and right side of the keyboard.
It is necessary to touch hard. It is necessary to apply pressure.
There may be a software error or willfully reduced the sensitivity.
does not want the edges to be very sensitive xiaomi. And they took a stupid measure with the software.
xda developers can solve this problem.
Then xioami takes precautions.
The problems at the lower corners are caused by the gesture control. Turn off the gesture control and use the conventional buttons, then the problem is solved.
This is also the reason why some have the problem and some don't. Not everyone uses the gesture control.
i have also noticed a reduced sensitivity with the gesture control. As soon as you switch to the buttons everything is fine with the touch screen test.
I use the buttons.
There is problem. Use as you wish There is a problem with the edges and bottom corners.
The only method: an update.
Install the program I sent. try it too.
the center and edges of the screen and the bottom corners are different.
This problem bothers me on the keyboard.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.rallwell.siriuth.touchscreentest&hl=tr
I can reproduce the interrupted line test.
In the test i can place white dots on every part of the edge, but it gets only interrupted when drawing a line.
But it doesn't bother me when keyboard typing.
Keyboard works well even in the edges.
Do you use swipe typing, i'm not?
I'm using Fullscreen Gestures and never noticed any problems with edge sensitivity.
My device is Global Firmware (11.0.7), not Global EEA.

Android 11.0 Pixel 4a Touch Sensitivity Issue (inaccurate touches)

Ever since upgrading to Android 11.0, immediate issue has been the sensitivity of the touch screen.
Scrolling up and down will randomly select a link or an item on the page i was scrolling. This seems really evident when you open Google when you scroll all the way to the left. Start scrolling up and down and see if you get errant presses. Seems to be happening a lot on the right hand side of the display where the touches get inaccurate.
I'll be really frank here.... Google sucks at testing and pushing stable updates...

I am still on the 11 beta. When I switched from android 10 to 11 beta I had this issue. Taking off my screen protector solved this issue although I don't want it to be a permanent solution

Got my 11 update this afternoon and have been playing with the phone since. Updated all apps that were available to update, then shut down the phone and restarted. Haven't noticed what you are talking about at all. Just went into Google, as you mentioned, and haven't seen any issues. Will keep an eye on it; but my first thought is if there is an installed app causing issues....

I tried the beta last week and this happened to me. I have to go back to 10 and reinstall everything. I might wait a week or so for others to respond before I trust 11 again.
I found out that they made changes to pixel 4 related to touch sensitivity (making it more aggressive). Wondering if that is what's affecting it.
Just upgraded my 4a to 11 today and I'm having the same issue. Also noticed it on the launcher...long press on an app to drag it just immediately opens the app. Just trying to type this post is a struggle. Touch sensitivity and accuracy is all messed up.
Clearly Google has an issue on their hands. Guess will need to escalate this to tech journalists so that they do something about it
Not having this issue. On A10 I felt touch and especially navigation swipes were a tad insensitive relative to other devices. On several occasions I contemplated regressing to 3-button navigation (ugh). A11 fixed that making navigation feel natural again. No problem with taps - yet.
Right/left swipe sensitivity can be controlled in settings on A11. Left mine at default.
Stock 4a w/Nova Prime. Spigen armor case (slightly raised edges). No screen protector.
This issue is getting reported a bunch on www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a. I personally had the issue pop up a few weeks ago after I installed 11 beta 3. Downgrading back to 10 fixed it.
Some people have said the issue goes away if you remove your screen protector but obviously that isn't the real solution if your phone was working fine prior to the update.
I just posted this question lol i wish i seen your post before. Im dealing w same issue, kind of feel better at least knowing im not the only one dealing with it lol
I think all the touch problems are related to Google Assistant, this app is just too busy messing things up. I use Nova, turned the Assistant off but it was still showing up with a prompt/notification on the bottom telling me to turn it on. So I have disabled the entire Google app and I don't see the Assistant anymore, all is good. Google Play, Pay, Maps etc..., the things I need they all stay intact. And btw, I don't use screen protector.

The only issue I've found is that they seemed to have changed the swipe logic on the homescreen launcher, it acts like it's looking for a slightly different gesture. My muscle memory for quickly accessing overview had to be tweaked slightly, but I've gotten used to it.
I'm not noticing other issues with screen sensitivity. I have an OtterBox Commuter case and the "OMOTON" glass screen protector on my 4a. I adjusted the back swipe sensitivity because the lip of my case is fairly large but that's it.
I'm sorry to hear there have been issues with this

Ever since upgrading to Android 11.0, immediate issue has been the sensitivity of the touch screen.
Scrolling up and down will randomly select a link or an item on the page i was scrolling. This seems really evident when you open Google when you scroll all the way to the left. Start scrolling up and down and see if you get errant presses. Seems to be happening a lot on the right hand side of the display where the touches get inaccurate.
I'll be really frank here.... Google sucks at testing and pushing stable updates...

I'm assuming you're using a screen protector?
Try the new touch sensitivity toggle
It helped my touch issues to lower back sensitivity. Using LK brand tempered glass
This issue has been fixed. I think what's troubling is that it was fixed without needing an update... So what dynamic changes are being made within the OS without the need for an OTA update?
edit: nvm its back again. anyone else having touch issues again?
Can confirm. I'm having touch issues every now & then after update to 11.
Reddit has a thread with over 73 responses confirming the issue as well. Still waiting on Google for a fix.
I have same problem and it's so annoying, I also have a screen burn in almost 1cm by 1cmnafter one day of use and volume going up and down on it's own ???

Still no issues here. I am not downplaying those that have this (not at all!) but wonder if an app conflict is part of the cocktail. I do not use Google Assistant which some have implicated. Also have very few apps authorized for screen reading (albeit probably not a factor)
Edit: read on; screen protectors and heat appear to be contributing factors.
Sad to report this issue is NOT yet fixed. It appears to only happen when the phone heats up WITH a screen protector. Just played a game of Risk for about an hour and the problem came back. Just removed my Supershieldz screen protector and the problem is gone. When the phone cools down I'll add the screen protector back and the issue most likely won't come back until the phone heats up again. This never happened on Android 10, so something must have changed with the update. Hopefully it's just a simple software fix and not a hardware issue.

Question Touch screen sensitivity, finger print scanner | Adjustable? Will Google fix it?

I'm coming a OnePlus 9 and I'm noticing that the screen is far too sensitive on my P7P. For example, when I click on a notification banner, it thinks I'm long pressing and presents me with the options to "Silent," "Default," and "Priority" the banner notification. I've also noticed when I swipe left or right to go back, it will count it as double as the haptic feedback is felt twice.
I didn't know until after purchasing that Pixels were notorious for having bad finger print scanners. This one is worse that my OP9. I have a screen protector to put on still, perhaps it will make it just right at that point.
Well, the finger print scanner is even worse than on Oneplus Nord. And I also have accidental long presses. I am actually quite disappointed with the phone.
One more thing that I dislike is how the navigation buttons have gaps between them. I constantly tap on those gaps and nothing happens. And if you use gestures, swiping to go back conflicts with swiping to open the side menu in apps.
I was hoping that this device was going to keep me happier than my OP9, oh well. it's still an early release. Hopefully it gets better with firmware upgrades. OP has gone down hill and that's why I'm here. If this fails, I'm going to submit to iOS (wait, did I just say that?!)
I did just put a screen protector on. I'm hoping that will kill some of the sensitivity. I went with the Milomdoi from Amazon. It was the best out of the 3 or 4 I ordered (sent back the ones I didn't did like). Installed pretty easy... despit the one small dust spec I missed in the far right corner. It'll be OK. The case almost covers it up. I'll report back if the screen protector improves the touch at all. I not hopeful though haha
You both might have some bad displays, my fingerprint scanner is far better and faster on the Pixel 7 pro than my OnePlus 9 Pro. I don't recall any issue with the touch sensitivity so far.

Try going to Settings>Accessibility>Interaction controls>Timing Controls>Touch & Hold Delay and set it to Medium.

Just when you thought you scoured the all device's settings. I'll give this a shot and see what it does (so far so good). Thanks!
I re-registered my fingerprints too. Hopefully that will improve recognition.
On a same note, could someone please tell me if this is normal: https://giphy.com/gifs/COEoRqIfJdhpWTxoKC
When I adjust the brightness and leave the touch input for a bit, the slider goes all over the place. It's pretty annoying and doesn't seem that the slider should act this way.

The reason you didn't notice is that like almost everyone, you don't let your finger linger on the slider, but slide it to where you want it and let go

Now tap and hold is too long when on medium. Why wouldn't they have this adjustable in ms instead of three preset options.
The fingerprint reader has been perfect for me (so much better than on the 6 Pro) but I agree about the screen sensitivity. It's too sensitive.

Absolutely zero issues with the fingerprint reader here, I find it just as reliable and even quicker than my S21 Ultra and that is with a protector.
I suggest it's either a bad screen protector install (air bubbles around the fingerprint area would cause havoc with it) or maybe it's just not a good protector for use with an optical scanner.
