Touch latency - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers

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.

I am not using any screen protectors on my device (PRO), sir/ma'am. The info you requested: nt3672a video mode dsi schenchao panel

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.

No, my phone isn't unlocked and I mentioned in the OP that I have an Indian variant.

I am also facing the same issue my varient is Redmi note 7 pro india 4/64gb

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

Hollowness feeling in bottom part of display

Hello Friends,
I have a weird observation on my oneplus 6 that the display gives a hollow feeling wjen typing or tapping on the bottom center portion of the display.
Eg..when tapping centre keys / buttons like fhjyrruthhdjjsj on regular keyboard gives a distict hollow sound or hollowness feeling on display compared to the upper or side part of the display.
I am not sure if its one off case or common to other one plus 6 devices due to its design and internal build..however I did not face such observations on any other mobile that I have used.
( Ps: i dont have haptic feedback or keypress sounds on
Also ..using default screen protector film that came with it)
Some feedback will be appreciated on this observation
Now that you say that, it's the same with me, too.
nah..just different underlying material, see:
https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/OnePlus+6+Teardown/109826
Are you sure that you have an authentic OP6 as opposed to a cheap Chinese $100 knockoff? You can check to see if you have Snapdragon 845 and 8GB ram by using an app like CPU-Z.
Regardless, there's zero difference in tap feeling at the top and bottom of my unit. I even did a blind test by randomly rotating the phone to make sure that both sides are the same. This is the North American model A6003.
Hey, another possibility - your phone has a defect.
I have an authentic one. its also registered on Oneplus site. But the model is A6000 (APAC region).
I dont think its defective..but I guess, its just the way its built. I dont observe that when there is noisy environment... I just happened to notice that yesterday at office (Sunday) where ai was the only one working due to one activity so was able to notice that as it was complete silence there.

Let's talk about newer batches (September/October)

Greetings everyone!
I want to talk about the Pocophone in their respective batches. I've been researching mainly about the issues that are present in the Pocophone. Many have said that there are issues regarding the screen (side of the screen latency, multi-touch, screen bleeding, etc.) are prominent. Some have said they have replaced their phones for at least thrice and the problem still persists. Some have also said that MIUI 10 fixed theirs, but some still have problems. Even installing custom ROMs proves ineffective. So it's safe to assume that some Pocophones have hardware issues and some do not.
From what I've read, August batch (The first batch released) has most of the problems. But I have no information regarding the people that bought a Pocophone with a manufacturing date from either September or October (The manufacturing date is located at the back of the box, written at the bottom right). You see, I've read an article implying that newer Pocophone batches does not have the issues. I want to make sure whether that is the case.
So I humbly request you people to please state which variant of the Pocophone you are using (6/64 GB, 6/128 GB, 8/128 GB)
and also the manufacturing date of your Pocophone. Also include if you encounter touchscreen issues.
You can try these to verify if your Poco has an issue:
1. Type "qu" as quick as you can. The result should be: quququququ and not quuquqquuquq. (You can use any keyboard as long as you're tapping a letter which is placed closely to the edge of the screen.)
2. Download the "Real Drum" application and try tapping the two "KICK" drums alternatively as fast as you can and make sure to stay at a constant beat to witness the delays. (Better observed when pressed at the sides).
3. Try installing a custom ROM or MIUI 10 and try these steps.
THANKS!

Now try to long press on q or p from very edge.
Then press from middle of q and p..
You will notice difference..
.
. @op : as per my testing on 10+ pocos, every device having this issue,ie right and left edges recognize touch after you lift finger.
But only fewer are detecting this because only few are used to type from edge.
My first poco manuafactured august and has keyboard issue. I am replaced with a september manufacturing date no more problem now. Ququququququququququququququququququququququququququququququququququ.... Thats a super fast qu. I am on 8.11.1 rom.
I am pretty sure that bug was because of full screen gestures, I have an old batch version running los 16 and there is no such bug anymore.

It doesn't seem to be a hardware issue. Keyboard works fine after switching back to On-screen Navigation. It's the full-screen gestures interfering. (on MIUI 9.6.25)
I have July batch no touch screen or bleeding issue
Mine is 6/128 global version batch September 09/2018 and:
1. quququququququququququququququququququququququququququququq
quququququququuquqququququuqquququuqquuqquuququququqququququququuquqqu
(*with on screen buttons*
ququququququququququququququuquqququququququuqquuquqquququuqququququququququ
still the same.)
as you can see there is a touch delay on the edge of the screen sometimes but very slight.
2. Real drums taps lag when taping on the edge of the screen.
3. All these have been tested on my phone with MIUI 9 global stable and MIUI 10 developer from xiaomi.eu.
I have to say the issue appears to be smaller in the MIUI 10 developer, i will be trying the Android 9 developer soon and see if anything has changed.
I have the 6/64 global version with version batch September 09/2018 on MIUI 10 stable and i don't have screen bleeding or lag when taping on the edge of the screen
July batch here, global, 6/64, black sapphire. I have all the problems, i.e. bleeding (mild though, I've seen people having worse) and touch lag.
For people who want to check the latency by quickly typing 'qu' or 'pr' - you must do it like REALLY fast. Almost immediately but just a millisecond earlier push q or p. I have yet to see a person prove on video that they don't have these issues. I don't mean to offend anyone but my belief is that every unit has it but not everybody can notice it. Could someone without touch issues kindly upload a video showing it? If some units indeed don't have it then I think it's safe to say we have a hardware issue on our hands.

Yes, its mine and you are welcome. Well, like you said many doesn't notice this. It is ok for my eyes but i will do the same tests with my girlfriends Lg G4 and report back.
Mine is from July, the first batch. I bought it on France when it was released.
- slight Bleeding edge with gray background.
- I notice the problem on real drummer, but it never bothered me.
Despite everything, I don't regret my purchase.

Can you or anyone provide a poco box photo with prod. date ?
I will respectful disagree and say that every Pocophone made until now have touch issue and screen bleeding. About screen, some are less proeminent and others more. But every Pocophone have it.
About touch, every Pocophone have exaclty the same issue. But some people are less capable to notice than others and that's about how you use the keyboard or what version do you have.
Hope that Xiaomi fix touch issue. Screen Bleeding is a hardware problem and it will never be fix even if you try to change it.

One more thing even if we find faults in these tests is it even practical to type at these crazy speeds.

Typing fast

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?

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.

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.

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.

then tap the middle keys lightly.
You will notice.

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).

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?

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.

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

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.
