Touchscreen issue (bad grounding)

When I put the device on to any insulating surface such as pillow/bed/couch/table I cannot normally operate it. Touch is being interrupted very frequently. This means in practice that I unintentionally press links while sliding through web pages, it is impossible to organize icons (since icon is dropped quickly), pinch-zoom is difficult, unlocking the device is hard, when text-typing it often doubles the letters etc.
Problems goes away as soon as I plug the charger, or take the device in my hand. This looks to me like a grounding issue, which was annoyingly present in some of OnePlus One and Nexus 7 devices in the past. Desperate users were hoping for a software update to solve the issue but it never came out.
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems with Mi 4c? I also tried flashing different MIUI versions, nothing helped.
Here is a video demonstrating the issue (you can enter hardware test menu by calling *#*#64663#*#* and try it by yourself):

I tested, mine is ok

I never really use my phone that way but out of curiosity, I tested it. Can confirm, issue is there. Touch screen goes crazy when scrolling facebook posts, chrome browser, possibly anywhere until I lift the phone up.
Just noticed that I needed to tap and scroll up/down harder than I used to otherwise I would miss it and the scroll would stop halfway through and will tap on whatever it is on the screen when it stopped.
Basically when I don't tap hard enough when doing the scrolling gesture, that's the time that the touchscreen goes crazy

works proper at my mi4c

I had the exact same problem. It is a defective screen. The problem started appear for me after 3 days of use, so I returned it to the store for an immediate exchange. I am not sure if you are in China or not, but if you are, you can just walk into the store and get a new one on the spot.

for me works perfect

Works ok on mine

Works fine here...

I can't even get the touch test started, running cm12.1, dailing *#*#*2664#*#*does nothing, as well as no other I've tried tested

Try it with some app. For a single-touch this one is just fine: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tsaysoft.touchtest
It draws a continous line and if you lift a finger (or if you have faulty screen) the line disappears.
To test a multitouch function you can play with: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.the511plus.MultiTouchTester

Mine is working as expected as well

found solution(the grounding problem is still a thing but this makes it less of an ass)
1) root the phone or just use the developer rom from xiaomi
2)then install Pimp my Rom from google play and grand root
3)go to tweaks-> touch-screen & display-> multi touch amount
and put it on 5.

Hello,
Yes. As a proud owner of one (unfortunately defunct cause I dropped) nexus 7 2013 I can confirm that the behavior is the same... Definitely a grounding problem.
When you leave the phone on a pillow or couch without holding it,bthe screen response is erratic. When you hold it or attach charger.. No problem.
Still beautiful device (the 4c), especially for the price. Snappy.
And smiu is very good made. (not a fan of miui roms...)

This happens only on 16gb version? What about using a plastic case? Does it solve the issue?

My experiences with my mobile (Android) as PC replacement

Hello,
as I was looking for this kind of topic information for a long time and searched through many various topics that are by nature really sounding similar, I though I'd share my experiences on using my mobile as home PC replacement.
This thread is intended as a guide to those that want to do the same. As an idea to those that never considered it and as a collection of issues and workarounds found in the daily use.
Again: This thread does not cover anything like Android ON a Desktop Computer but using your mobile phone as a desktop computer.
In those regards, I'm using one or the other software that is what I found doing its job, but I'm very open to improvements and ideas.
Setup:
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (2,2GHz quadcore, 3GB RAM, SM-9005) and Android Kitkat (Slimkat custom rom) runs on it. USB is MHL compatible.
Other Hardware: Aten CS533 a physical keyboard->Bluetooth Adapter, such that you can use your desktop keyboard and mouse on your Mobile. Which is how I'm writing this text by the way.
If you already know everything or don't care for the rest, read the second and the third post.
Daily driver?
As some custom roms describe their status.... I'm using it as daily driver. I have to rethink many things - the UI being the biggest part. Automation helps to get the connection and screen rotation things off your head.
The phone is being charged while I'm connected to the screen as the Adapter wants to have a power supply.
A big change in UI is that the touch based OS is not working too well with the mouse wheel. In this thread I'm writing I cannot scroll up using the mouse wheel. I'll scroll up the page only. I have to press and hold the mouse (=touch) and pull the content to where I want it.
Deleting characters works as well, but here rather slow. It is better to use CTRL+Shift and cursor buttons to highlight words.
You may also forget about marking text with the mouse as you're used to.
You have to press (=touch) a word and then pull the text markers to whereever.
What works well is the CTRL+X, C and V.
Currently I'm logged into XDA and writing and correcting this text with my external keyboard in firefox.
Which brings me to the most important thing... APPS:
Also there are many differences.... I'm using firefox because it happily accepts keyboard commands - CTRL+T opens a new tab, CTRL+W closes it.
Firefox has one issue which I would bring to the developers... When opened, the shared screen is blank. You can see it on your phone, but not on the TV. Workaround: Switch apps to some other app in foreground, switch back to firefox.
Many apps are better than their web-counterparts. And actually faster. But they often cannot do exactly the same, be aware of that. They offer some features and make it easier to use, but some features you may have been used to, are not available. Example: in the ebay app I can't print out shipping documents.
Roughly mentioned - printing:
There are printing apps included in most OS, you can find them in the store. Mine works fine and I can print on my network printer (don't ask me about USB-printers, I doubt, they work well...).
From my office applications (those accept CTRL+P) I can directly print on my printer, once found. That takes some time, because I switch my printer completely off when not in use.
Chats:
work fine. I can switch, use the mouse to get to the statusbar and open the chat notification, switch back to XDA using ALT+TAB.
Emails:
I was using thunderbird and this one I really miss. I has an unmatched search function. It cans earch globally and it can additionally filter text. Very quick. I have one email account since 13 years. Some emails collected. Here I have troubles.
I want to be able to see all emails offline. This can be difficult as many mail applications don't really give you a choice how many emails to download. K9 and the related kaiten offer this. They can download all mails. However.... This makes the operation in that account slow. Searching doesn't work well and deleting mail leads to app crashes. I'm working with it, because I didn't find a good alternative. Not many people possibly care for that though.
So you see, there are upsides and downsides.
+ Upsides are certainly the purpose driven apps, you have plenty for any kind of purpose. Even you can change the OS layout (If you know linux this is possibly normal anyways )
+ You save money and energy
+ You always have your PC with you
+ One UI everywhere
+ Beter than anyone else you know how to connect your phone to a beamer and do a presentation
Downsides:
- It is a mobile PC. It is using its resources much more efficiently than its desktop alternative. Because it doesn't have many. I wouldn't dare doing video encoding here.
- Surfing is slower - sometimes it seems that is actually because of my phone. I've seen other phones with weaker configurations performing faster than mine. Dolphin seems to perform much faster than Firefox.
- Rethink your input
- Desktop Applications are not possible. If you have one specific type of application you'll have to find an alternative on Android or forget it. Games, Photobook applications, Thunderbird, Blurays, are all kind of difficult...
Additional notes:
There are some interesting projects like Andromium OS that want to change the UI appearance, like a launcher that resembles the desktop Windows/Linux with a start menu. At the current beta state, I personally like my old way better, but it is looking good.
Your choice to accept the downsides. I mostly do.
Sorry for this long and splitted post, but it seems like XDA has a maximum letter count when posting but the post warning doesn't tell you so.

This is the second post, to show some details of the journey...
From the beginning:
Why?
I had a desktop PC, in fact a tablet PC, 18" and was satisfied with it. Linux ran on it quite fine. Over time I noticed that I normally use it for surfing. Not even for something useful. Most things I was using on the PC I found I was using in parallel on Android. For example, ebay, banking, sometimes the browser, funny additions like xkcd, dilbert, chats... List goes on...
Since I know my phone supports MHL, that is using an adapter to get video mirror from phone to TV over HDMI I was looking for a keyboard replacement. Also I heard before keyboards can be used on android.
Soooo I forced myself to actually to that. I sold my PC and while ebay was running I tried to get the needed hardware.
Doing:
In fact it was very easy to find the MHL adapter. I have already a cheap one with a long cable, but sometimes the screen turns blue. Normally that happens when the screen is on, and the device is idle. I thought of buying an original Samsung Adapter.
There is actually no difference, using the Samsung or the cheap one. It seems to be related to the Apps which are in foreground. Here, it is firefox, no issue with it. These days, I don't see that issue anymore. It seems that it is not related to the power supply. Anyways it worked.
A problem was that I want to use my expensive silent keyboard and not buy another bluetooth keyboard. As you may know that if you search for android hardware keyboard you'll find possibly a million ways to use your phone keyboard as input method on the PC (what the heck?). There are a few breadcrumbs leading you to something useful. Once I found a keyboard adapter that translates only my keyboard to Bluetooth, but since my mouse was futile then, I didn't want it. Same reason why I don't want to use OTG. And I'm already using the one USB port on the mobile for the screen mirroring.
Later that evening I found my current solution, working rather good, the Aten CS533. I small docking station like thing that can get two input devices to bluetooth which I can connect the mobile to.
Be careful when using it: My original Logilink mouse didn't work well with it. Scrollwheel moved the pointer up and down. Any mouse movement moved the pointer down, left and right. Sicne it didn't move up, that was, well pointless. I changed the mouse to some generic Dell mouse and this works fine.
Experiences:
SCREEN: Using some automation software normally keeps my phone working well; since the screen on the mobile is always displayed readable on the TV, meaning not upside down or so, the screen if in portrait, fills only the middle third of the TV. To use it properly my automation software says IF connected to the adapter THEN turn on screen rotation. The phone normally lying horizontally. Since this phones resolution matches the TVs, 1080p it looks pretty good.
Look and feel:
It is Android, a touch based OS, unlike Windows or Linux. So your touchscreen is not imitating a mouse, but your mouse is imitating touch input. My mouse buttons all work as touch. Clicking means touching. As far as I know there are no shortcuts here. To start an app you have to do the same actions with your mouse as you would with your finger on the screen. From the home screen open the app drawer by the button, possibly swipe to the app by clicking, holding the mouse button and moving the screen accordingly.
The keyboard is a different thing. I don't know about others, but here are some shortcuts.
The ESC button is my home button, the context menu button maps the phones menu button.
Surprisingly alt+tab work in Android as task switcher, even though I only have the last 8 apps in there and the behaviour is a bit different from the PC. Alt+tab to open the menu, another tab to switch to the second app. And there is some waiting time of possibly half a second.
The keyboard works fine; page up/down, end, pos1, del, backspace, enter work fine. CTRL, alt, Shift are normally mapped. You can use TAB to change input fields as well.
Missing so far is.... the "back" button. I have not found an equivalent of the back button on the keyboard. Since my phone isn't far away, I normally press the phones back button if I need it.
As you see, operating works, even though you have to get used to it. On the other side, it didn't take me too long...
for more details go on with the third post.

Input:
A word on input is required. Keyboard input. What? Again? Well... this is about the keyboard apps you're using. In my case I use swype and I like it most. I hate all software keyboards because their interpretation is weird and their grammar interpretation is often wrong, especially in german.
Swype however recognizes the external keyboard and displays an extra line on the bottom of the screen with the word suggestions I'm typing. Since I'm using a real keyboard I don't want corrections. Since I use the phone often without keyboard, I don't want to switch swype off completely either.
I have another issue which is that I'm typing korean from time to time and up to here I hadn't even thought about it. Swype can do that but still I didn't want to have that extra correction bar. Plus... no idea how to switch the input. The swype input switcher is missing since I'm only having the correction bar.
Quick idea was that I know a very small korean keyboard app so I could possibly switch from swype to the other, while connected to the CS533. Didn't work so well since I still have no way of switching other than the settings - but at least the correction bar is gone.
Here I found the app "External Keyboard Helper" which was written for exactly that. It seems like some people already did what I'm doing, so I wonder why you don't find so many descriptions. Anyways... that app allows you to write normally and change layouts using keyboard shortcuts. Here I'm using CTRL+Shift*space to change to korean layout: 안녕하새요 (Hello)
Anyways... that app allows you to write normally and change layouts using keyboard shortcuts.
I haven't completely looked through the app, but it seems you can get in some keymappings.
So I could map the "back" hard key from the phone to the otherwise useless Windowsbutton. My audio app is rewinding with a keyboard keypress and using shilt+alt+m I can start my mail app.
So now via automation I'm switching the input method to the external keyboard helper, when connected to the CS533 and back to swype when the connection is lost.
This was the last post. Hopefully it is useful for some that are trying to do exactly the same and get sick of those PC remote control apps...

:good::good::good::good:

And this works to. Partly a bit weird to connect.....
But:
From mobile via
OTG
To an sd/hdmi/usb adapter
Hdmi to tv, sd not tested and from
USB to another active usb hub:
The hub connects Gamepad, keyboard and mouse to the android. This is like a cable spider with one plug for the phone. A diving station.
Nice!

Best experience I had with the Dockingstation from Samsung EDD-D200.
Here the phone charges upwards while in use, I have 3 USB ports and Keyboard is recognized well.
HDMI only works at max [email protected], or [email protected] Using apps you can rotate the screen when docked.
Biggest difference is that I REALLY have a docking station. leave HDMI, USB plugged and then just connect the mobile. It should then directly work and the screen is shared to the TV. This is now much more comfortable.
Word of advices:
-for that docking station you'd better have a 5.3V power supply. 5.0V will not make USB or HDMI work.
-there is for the Note 3 another interesting docking station by Samsung, EE-MT800. It has an ethernetport and USB, flexbile connection cable. But the docking station only seems to work on a few tablets, which is a bit sad. It didn't work on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3, even though the MHL3 Adapter from Samsung works flawless ([email protected]).

I used a knife to alter the stand if that docking station so I can place my mobile with the protection cover in it. Works fine now.
Don't get the idea that there's a nice cable in the station which you could extend. It is an extension of the PCB and it is fixed.
I commissioned to Samsung why their docking station ee-mt800 is only compatible to a few tablets. And why you would want to connect a only stand type docking station to a horizontal TV of monitor, resulting in a vertical picture.... And 2/3 blank screen...

great work as always!! i will certainly try it

Could you please share the apk here?

Great i was looking for an alternativ app.

Waiting for it to work with iOS devices.

Really slick and fast. Does not work properly on my Samsung s7 edge tho. If my screen is set to HD the mirrored image is a small section in top left. I have to go Quad HD, to get the screen to be mirrored and fill the screen but then the touch response is way off. I touch the screen and it presses about 2 cm's away

Could you please take a picture how does it look in case of HD? I could not test the app on all devices but maybe I will be able to fix it.
Edit: I think I know where the problem is. It looks like S7 has different aspect ratio than the HU. Tommorow or at Saturday I will try to prepare a fix.

Android 4 support?
I'm guessing head unit must be Android 5+? Shame if so as I think most head units on market are still 4+. Anything stopping support for v4 devices?

Yes, HU must be at least Android 5 (Lollipop). Lollipop introduced alot improvements for the codecs which are used in MtcdMirroring so I decided to limit it to API 21 and higher.

Attached pictures. Only WQHD (2560 x 1440) filled the entire screen but touch screen is way way off on all resolutions.
Thanks!

@Dec64, thank you very much for the pictures.
Also three short questions:
1. Could you please post here info about your HU (MTCD,MCU).
2. Resolution (1024x600,greater or smaller?) and screen size (7 inches, 10 inches)
3. In case of QHD, have you observed any touch malfunctions?
Thanks in advance.

It must be installed on the Head Unit.

I'm unable to use the software.
Head Unit: PX5 8-core A53 Cortex @ 1.5GHz, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage with KGL MCU
Phone: Nexus 6P with PureNexus ROM
I'm connecting my phone via one of the rear-mounted USB ports on the head unit (which appear to be USB host ports, rather than the OTG port on the front). When I connect and start your application, I'm able to connect briefly, getting a screen capture from my phone. However, within a fraction of a second, I get a message saying that the connection has been lost. Sometimes I am able to exit the application, but sometimes the entire system hangs. I do have Xposed installed, but the only plugin I'm running is AppSettings, and I don't have any settings configured for your application.
Is there anything you can suggest?

Great replacement for Easyconnected..
However it doesn't work on my case though. Screen cast fine, but touching is way off.
My HU has 1024x600 resolution, and my phone has 1920x1080.
Plus, if you can force the screen of the mobile to be landscape, it would be awesome

It did not work properly. Could you advise me anything?
Phone:XperiaZ4(marshmallow)
HU: Joying MTCB(RK3188-1024)
Thanks

It looks like a problem with the USB connection. Have you tried to connect the phone with different USB cable? Also maybe your phone needs more current than USB port can deliver. In developer you should be able to change USB connection type. By default it is MTP connection - try to change it to something like "charge only" and test.

It is possible but it is quite risky . In case of any USB connection interruption MtcdMirroring would not be able to "undo" such settings and you would stay with the forced landscape orientation. I think you can try to find an application on the Play store which can force the screen orientation.

Someone Can share the apk?

@Dec64 @slumpz version 1.1.0 with improvements for detection of touchscreen resolution is now available on Google Play Store. Please check wheter the issues with touchscreen and hangup have been fixed and share the feedback. Thanks!

I changed my resolution, cant unlock phone

I changed my resolution to 1920 x 1080. Why? Because I wanted to be able to cast my phone to with a 16x9 aspect ratio to my tv without black bars.
Apparently this is a royal screw up because I wasn't able to press nope or whatever after it asked if I wanted to keep the changes. And now, the picture on my phone is less than 1/3'rd the visible screen. In hind sight perhaps I should have set it to 1080x1920 or 1440x2160
I can't unlock my phone. I have tried swiping from every direction but its not working. Using my finger print doesn't seem to work either. Having owned this phone for almost 2 years, I know where the sensor is, it's just not working, although I see the "animation" on the screen.
I've swiped from every direction and I can't get an unlock screen.
My phone is rooted, BUUUT since I can't figure out how to unlock the screen, I am not able to change the usb connection from simply charging to file transfer. Did I just hose myself in the most noob possible way?
If I long press the power button to access the reboot shut down pull out menu, I can't seem to interact with that either.
I have tried to randomly press different parts of my screen and SOMETIMES it seems like the screen auto unlocked and shows the "Easy DPI Changer [Root]" interface, but it doesn't last long. And then sometimes I see a different screen where it shows the easy dpi app, but then also a white box that says
Power Off
Restart
Lock Down

Oh the pain...
The few, the bold... the screwed.
Hope you were backed up as it looks like this might be one of those "things"

ahahaha the story escalation is uncanny
how did you change your screen resolution anyway? via ADB?

Have you tried a hub or OTG cable with a wired or mouse with a dongle? If I'm not mistaken it may still work even though the usb is set to charge.....its worth a shot

Most of my stuff on the cloud. The most important thing that I have backed up is my 2 factor authentication app... BUT I'm back in business baby.
I bought an overpriced USB C to USB A adapter from staples for 20 bucks, connected my mouse and I was able to unlock and reset the resolution to default.

I just finally got the keyboard and case for the tablet and it automatically puts the tablet into "Productivity mode" when you attach the keyboard.
At first I thought the productivity mode was kind of cool. Until I started opening up some apps that aren't compatible with it at all.

I don't like the keyboard at all. I would like to use a BT mouse but when it connects the onscreen keyboard won't come up. So I just use touch all the time.

Just noticed that every single time I attach the keyboard it auto-starts that 'productivity mode' automatically. I then have to go into settings to disable it as most of my apps aren't compatible with it.
Real pain in the a$$ this is now lol

Every day it drives me mad. How is it that I have Productivity Mode turned off in Settings and it ignores it and turns it on every time I fold the keyboard or attach it?!
I really wish there was a hack to turn it off permanently.

My tab pro has an option in the settings to not turn productivity mode on when a keyboard is attached.
Settings -> productivity mode -> auto switch when kB attached

Thank you so much for that. That must have appeared in a recent update. Brilliant, let's hope it works.

regular p11 or xiaxin is already very cheap to buy, so there will be some roms in the near future, however it works fine as it is. No need to rush for a custom rom, android 11 doesn't really offer something new, maybe wiht android 12 we will see some good custom rom out there

My tab pro has an option in the settings to not turn productivity mode on when a keyboard is attached.
Settings -> productivity mode -> auto switch when kB attached
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's strange because I don't have that option at all.

Hi is there something new on this one?
I am wondering of I should buy this tablet from ebay but I only buy devices which will have some custom Rom available
