[Q] Sensitivity, tap instead of swipe

Hi guys, i really like the phone but I have one major problem with it. Sometimes the screen randomly thinks my finger is tapping instead of swiping.. So when scrolling through a list, it doesn't scroll through the list, but rather taps the links. I compared it with my M8 and its definitely a huge difference

Some of this links are more related to your specific issue, the other less; but in general you got the idea that the touch screen is ....(put your own words after the beeeep)

Everything works fine for me on my device. Maybe you should try to get the device exchanged or only contact the support for more information.

sweet advice from you.
I would really recommend to look at oneplus forum.....very interesting reading
Just to sum up, the customer support in OnePlus is nearly non-existend.
I have seen the reports that someone with RMA ticket number 98 (can you imagine, just in first hundred) does not have any reply from them already 3 weeks.

God im seriously thinking about keeping my M8...

I am also experiencing the tap instead of swipe bug. Its a bit annoying. I love the potential of this phone and hope that Cyanogen will get all the kinks fixed. Maybe that's one of the real reasons for the official release not taking place.

Thats the only reason I'm gonna sell my M8 and keep the OPo, because im confident that CM can really sort out those bugs, or the community can fix them themselves

Are you by any chance having the issue when not holding the phone in your hand? There seems to be some sort of grounding problem(?) when the phone is on e.g. a pillow which did not exist before the update pushed in the beginning of july. Apparantely CM is working on fixing it again.

I really hope they do rectify these issues. Cause I'm kind of regretting selling my Nexus 5. I mean this hardware is superb and I love the feel of the sandstone back. The software is just not ready for the masses.
I can't wait till the software is bug free. This phone will be a beast!

I am looking at the forums. And: for me, the support responded to my questions within 24h in 3 of 4 cases. That's my personal experience.
I think you should try it. If this does not work: give your request an update. Or two. Or three. And then, if all that doesn't work, either: make pressure on the public forums. THEN you can/should be upset.

I'm very happy for you and wish that the support was satisfactory in the cases of my interaction with OPO.

here are 2 videos:
1 - about grounding problem:
first part of video i have OPO in my hand (6 touch) second part on the bed (difficult to reach 2 touch).

2 - fast typing issue:
here you can see how fast touch are recognized by OPO as swype:

Hello, anyone knows if in the end a solution was found? I have this problem even with the latest update of cyanogenOS.

Someone could tell me if this problem is common? Because I'm considering opening a one RMA support, as in different upgrades they have not solved ...

Yes it's common, i have this issue as well. I think it happens when the phone stutters/lag, the swipe turns to a tap. My solution is to flash fast, lag-free ROMs, reducing the incidents. You should try jgcaap Lag-free CM13 ROM and see if it gets better, it worked for me.

Thank you very much for your advice, I'm testing this rom, and doing very well not have lag or loses touch for now.

Screen activates self in the trousers

Hi,
yesterday I was on racetrack Nürburgring and tried my new OnePlus One.
Everything was cool except one thing.
Most time, when I took the OPO out of my trousers, the screen was on and an app was open?
Is there a setting for that, that this never happens? Don't want to share battery lifetime to my pockets and don't want to place calls to the whole world.
Is anyone having same problems or could someone help me?

Settings/Interface/Gesture Shortcuts, disable everything.
Transmitted via Bacon

You forgot display -> double tap to wake

It is scheduled to be fixed by OTA-update xnph28s; before unlocking the proximity sensor checks if the device is currently in a pocket.
See bugreport: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-16

Good to see, d4fseeker.
Do you know, when this update is ready for download?
Don't want to disable the Oppo features on opo

They say the update should be released in the next week or two.
Transmitted via Bacon

Where can i see the gerrit of cm11s??

Any news on the date of the next OTA update ?

Typically when its ready, it was posted a week ago in 2 weeks time but no promises as they want to get it right in this OTA.
If you can't wait, you can flash custom ROMs as they already have this commit where it checks the proximity sensor. If the proximity sensor is blocked then gestures will be disabled until the proximity sensor is not blocked.

Like I said before, I don't use Paranoid Android. Go into the thread and search for the keyword "lockscreen" ... if the ROM is based on CM for the OPO then it will have the gesture controls.
Edit: Heres your answer, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53677403&highlight=gesture#post53677403 next time just search
Not only as stable as CM is, it includes all device specific features of CM like offscreen gestures, Quickboot, Soft/hard buttons...

You either need to upgrade the trousers or keep your hands where they belong - in someone else's trousers.

This is CM inc's chance to show what they can do.
You know they have a One Plus as a test phone but they let it go out with low call volume and sub par signal strength. As well as touch screen problems and more. Just look at the bug reports. There no hiding them.
Software makes the phone work so to me that is what I have to look at.
All in all its a great phone I just expect more from CM inc.

To be fair the phone is still in its infancy stages and is invite only. So in a way you can say we paid for the phone to be "internal beta testers" and when the phone is not invite only thats when its out for the masses.
I agree with you though, these major problems should have been addressed in a hotfix rather than having users wait for the next OTA. Luckily for the most of us, we're able to fix it in our own hands but for those who aren't then they'll just have to wait.

If you don't like my hobby, well, I can't help you there. Mate.
Where I CAN help you is with your real problem. See, I also got an used Pixel with rattling vibration. So just go thru all the settings on the phone and anywhere you see it - disable it or turn it off. This means haptic feedback, keyboard settings, ringtone settings etc. You can't disable it all at once, you just gotta go one by one. It's a 3 minute walk, you can do it.

No fingerprint gesture?!

Oneplus 6 got rid of the swipe down for notifications gesture. Is there any way we can get it back? Maybe like the flashable zip the 5t had in omnirom? This may seem like such a small thing but it's huge for me. With this gesture I dont have to reach up to get my notifications down and thats a lot less of a chance for having the phone drop and break on me. Especially because it's all glass now.

Well, the phone hasn't practically even released at this time, so it will take a bit of time to know.
I think the reason why there are no fingerprint gestures is because of the reduction in the size of the fingerprint sensor.

Ahh, thanks for giving it a try and letting me know before I get my hands on the device. Hopefully the developer updates the app to make it compatible with the 6! (if possible)

Quite upset about the removal of this feature as well. It was really useful. I'll be looking out for it / monitoring this thread to see if anyone has a solution. Wish OnePlus would simply add it back.

Workaroud
I followed this guide and it seems to be the only app that works with my OP6
android.gadgethacks.com/how...e-notification-gesture-other-devices-0174514/
just add https before it as i can't post links yet

would be amazing to get swipe gestures, especially while reading ebooks or articles, its so convenient scrolling and reading with one hand and a coffee in the other

It does work if you download the app from the guide and enable foreground activity.
I've been using it for the past 24 hours with no issues (just the annoying android notification that there is an app running in the background which I hid so now all good)

I find this works well when you set it up for tap to toggle notification tray and enable foreground services under the non-exposed settings.

Any more updates on this? It's quite annoying they've not included that feature

Double tap to wake often does not work reliably.

Especially when phone has been idling for a bit (10+ minutes). I have pocket mode off. Quite frustrating.

Agreed, coming from the V30, it is not very reliable, it misses quite a few double taps for me as well =( if they only had kept the always on display, that would probably help. Removing this feature was very silly from OP, they should at least leave a switch and let the user decide...

My gf has been complaining a lot about this to me too, however I've yet to have it miss any double taps.
Hopefully its software and not hardware related.

Its definitely more of a double... triple... quadruple tap most of the time for me. Its as if when in a deeper sleep state it doesn't respond to double tap.

I sent a bug report to oneplus. I hope other people do the same!

I have noticed this as well. It usually doesn't work the first time. It has been a bit better with pocket mode off though.

It's really random. Sometimes after my phone idles for 8 hours overnight, double tap will work flawlessly. Sometimes, after just 3 minutes, I will need like 4 double taps.

No one solution yet?

I've noticed as well. Very random. Have to use fingerprint or power button. Kinda pathetic feature functionality.

I confirm this...
Even my old 4 years Oppo Find 7 is much better...

Really strange that OP haven't solved this yet

Settings/battery/ 3dots at top right/ advanced optimization / turn them off. That solved the problem for me.

They told me they have fixed it (that was with Android 8) and it was better. But now and Android 9 it's worse than ever. My wife's OP5 works perfectly.

Yeah. You are on last Pie beta or on stable?

UP

The problem with double taps is they have to be precisely in the same spot. Otherwise, there's a chance that they don't work.
This is a bug that OP should have fixed a long time ago.
