Poco X2 ghost touch problem. - Xiaomi Poco X2 Questions & Answers

I am facing ghost touch issue in poco X2 and the problem is getting worse day by day! Anyone who faced similar problem in X2?

I have touch issues also; the screen registers touches when my fingers are near the screen; it worse for me when charging. If you are in India and bought it from Flipkart; I would ask that you raise it with them as soon as possible. I have asked for a replacement on june 17 and their response is abysmal.

Same ghost touch issue here...

Yes, I also have been facing it since last 2-3 weeks.
I think it might be due to some update in some software, mostly keyboard. I am using Microsoft SwiftKey as keyboard. What about you?

Here we are. Tianma lcd panel? Same problems with poco f1, note 8, note 8 pro. At least about this phones I've been reading extensively. And it's hardware not software problem. I wanted to buy Poco x2 but this thing is obviously deal-breaker. Pathetic

I have been using it for 2 weeks and never had any issue.

I was also facing ghost touches on stock rom but now everything is fine in custom rom...

I'm exactly in the same boat as you with my MI A2 touch issues. I've been researching this too for a while now and looks like I'd have to switch to either Oneplus or Realme. Poco X2 was really interesting but deep down i knew.

i dont think it is tianma panel
look in the kernel source
https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Ke...a0cbd5cffc74e04a5145a8930769f220e71761a.patch
if you download this file and search in text , there is no mention of tianma panel .
but if you look in redmi note 9 pro/pro max source
https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Ke...31fa425e8f42661f74339de63c3ad472de6077d.patch and search for tianma , you will get panel dtsi as tianma.

Doesn't matter, even the displays from Huaxing in Redmi Note 9 Pro has bleeding and retention issues, so goodbye Xiaomi, i guess.

It's a hardware issue in my case (India)
I bought a brand new Poco X2 on 11th July and got it delivered on 13th July. I have been using Xiaomi phones for the last 2 years so the learning curve with MIUI wasn't much for me, the only thing I needed to get accustomed to was the form factor.
From the very first day, the keyboard used to double tap. While playing PUBG, it would auto press some buttons (reload, backpack etc.). Also, the gestures weren't particularly great.
Initially, I thought it happened because I wasn't used to it, but after 10 days the problem persisted. That's when I decided to do a deep dive. I downloaded several multi-touch test apps, and indeed, it showed the problem of ghost touching. Even while touching the screen once, the max. events would show 2.
On top of this, I faced a very poor screen flickering issue.
I submitted my phone to the service centre on 28th July. They said even though they have not received any X2 with such complaints, there indeed seems to be something abnormal with my phone. It could either be the display or the motherboard or the PCB or the worst - a combination of 2 and 3. So it's either a repair or a replacement at this point. They have asked for 6-7 days, so let's see.
But if you are using the device and facing such issues, don't hesitate to raise your voice.
If you're planning to buy the device, RUN AS FAR AS YOU CAN FROM THIS ONE. Don't buy this.

The situation with Poco X2 in compare to other Xiaomi phones is still much better. Poco X2 at least doesn't have miserable tianma panel. Problems will occur but majority of don't get any issues

Screen issue? (uneven brightness/darkness)

My OP6 have this uneven lighting on my screen. It is visible when you have a dark grey background, in a dark room, and the brightness is on 5%-10%. It's also visible when you open up chrome app and close all the tabs until you got nothing but a dark background and a + for new tabs. Is this normal? Or should I RMA it?

Here you go
I don't think that's normal at all. At least my OP6 doesn't have that. The brightness is even across the entire screen.
Normally the issue only have Huawei and the LG OLED Panels.
OnePlus 6 have an SAMSUNG Super AMOLED Display, and there is no issue with uneveness Display in low brightness.
Can anyone else confirm this if it's normal or not? Please try again and use this image i attached. The uneveness is quite visible with it.
Go in a dark room.
Full screen it (make sure there's no other bright elements are showing).
And lastly, set your brightness to about 10%.
Please tell me it's normal :/
*edit. Funny, can't seem to upload the pic.
Welp.

@aserate: I have the same issue. I tested it yesterday and saw some lines and uneveness.
Im happy, that I bought the OP6 from Amazon. Now I give the OP back and buy the Mi Mix 2S without AMOLED.
Only Samsung build AMOLED Display without uneveness and lines. I tested the screen from Mate 10 Pro, P20 Pro, Google Pixel 2 XL, LG V30, OP 5T,...
All of these smartphones had a problem with the OLED / AMOLED Displays.
Im wondering, that the user, who test the phone for YouTube or a mobile site, dont see the bad screen.
I bought the Mate 10 Pro 3 times ans the P20 Pro 2 times from different stores. All the devices had a bad screen.
I hate the UI from Samsung, that is why I only buy now smartphones without AMOLED, only IPS or Super LCD.
I don't have this issue. I checked 5 different OP6 units and all were ok. Only one had some slight uneven brightness, but not as visible as on your picture.
Appreciate your feedback. I guess i have to rma this since it's clearly an issue. Praying the replacement won't have this. Sad to know after watching linus' op factory tour with all that quality checking and stuff, common issue such as this still exist. Welp.
There is a way to completely deactivate the top part of the display to completely hide notch. But I don't want clock on the left of the notch I want it on both. There is a way?

Rubbish? I´d tested all of the phones:
- S8 & S8+
- S9 & S9+
-Note 8
All of them don´t had any display issues.
I´d tested:
- Mate 10 Pro
- P20 Pro
All of them had uneveness and lines on the OLED Display
I´d tested now:
- OnePlus 6
THis phone has uneveness, too.
Now I have OnePlus 5T and this phone has a perfect OLED display.
If I have the chance, to get a samsung phone with OnePlus Oxygen OS, I would like to swap asap!

i rest my case as you said all are perfect this proves other wise
Got the same issue. Also on my fourth device already because of loose alert sliders. my fourth device has a loose alert slider and an uneven screen. right side is darker than the left side and its noticable in dark menus, notification shade etc on low brightness
No problems for me here in terms of uniformity.
Great panel, but I wish the calibration was better:
- calibration too cold
- oversaturated
- gamma way too high
- black crush
I had this problem in 2 Oneplus 6. I made a RMA and got a new unit, without the banding, but a defective corners (a white glow in dark images). So I got another one, finally a perfect unit.
The other one was purchased via amazon, with the same banding issue, so I got an exchange.
All of them were red Oneplus 6.
The OP customer service was very helpfull resolving the problem. I give a 10 to them.
Anyone can check the screen with this images or an app called oled tools. You need a dark enviroment and low brightness
Im kind of hestitant to replace since im on my fourth device already and dont feel like waiting anymore. Thinking about returning and waiting for the 6t. Id have to use my galaxy s5 for a few extra months though...
I just received my replacement unit 2 days ago, I was waiting for it for almost a MONTH. Unfortunately, I still have the screen issue. I can't believe I was waiting for nothing. While waiting for the replacement, I only used a f***ing keypad phone, and it was really hard for me. Have I known this issue is fairly common, I haven't RMA'd my unit just to have a big chance to have the same issue again.

Display manufacturer

Hi again.
This time I'll touch into a very frustrating matter for the new users of poco f1. because of how the hardware test app on the new miui versions don't show the manufacturer of the lcd panel.
From what I've asked my friends it seems that the global versions ship with low quality displays such as ebbg panels and the models which got launched at first have the better tianma panels.
Its been like this for 3 of my friends 2 of them had the tianma panel because they were using the initial models and one of them had the global version.
So if you were thinking of overclocking your lcd you should choose the 65 hz option if you have the global version because ebbg panels and others are not that good in terms of quality.
To be honest ive tried the 65hz even then it had some weird glitch artifacts on the screen so i would advise you to stay at 60hz.
And if you are using the global version you should stay updated in terms of touch drivers and if you are not using the global try to use the old drivers.
Hope this helped you.

I have NVT screen and i never had problems even with 70hz, batch from 11
Also never use old driver cuz that's ruining your screen
my pocophone F1 Global is a 2018/10 Lot and use Tienma fhd nt36672a display... never heard of other display type...
Pocophones have been supplied with 3 LCD panels - EBBG, BOE and Tianma.
From what I've gathered so far- Tianma are superior since these are most likely LTPS IPS panels, while BOE/EBBG are regular IPS panels. Meaning - Tianma panels are consuming much less energy.
This is why some of the Pocophone users can easily surpass even 16 hours of SOT (without gaming, just watching youtube, movies, listening to the music, etc. with Wifi AND LTE data always enabled) while others can't get even past 8-12 hours (BOE/EBBG panels) in pretty much the same use-case scenarios.
You can find some Pocophone panel comparisons on youtube. In these videos EBBG has a yellowish tint (whites are yellow/brownish) and is overall darker, while BOE and Tianma are much brighter and also have much better color reproduction. Also - on these videos Tianma panels have no issues when it comes to touch detection on the edges, while BOE have some issues near top/bottom of the screen.
That's also why you can find conflicting opinions when it comes to the screen of Pocophone, in different reviews that are available on the internet. Some of them say that the screen of the Pocophone is mediocre at best, while other say that it's very good in its class, for the price. There are also different numbers when it comes to the measured brightness.
These reviewers got different Pocophones with different panels.
By going through the kernel notes of different custom kernels on XDA forums you can gather that Tianma screens can be overclocked up to 70 Hz, while BOE/EBBG are more limited (up to 65 Hz).
You've said that Tianma panels have been supplied initially and are not being supplied anymore. I can't confirm that information. My Pocophone (with Tianma panel) was manufactured in 2018-10. You can find the date at the bottom right side of the sticker which is located at the back of the original phone box.
When it comes to checking the panel model - you should be able to do that by going into: Settings->About phone->Full specification. Then touch the "kernel version" several times.. It should get you into the diagnostic mode.
There you should be able to pick the first available option - "Check version info". Next - just scroll down at the bottom and there you will find "LCM Information", in my case it says: "dsi tianma fhd nt36672a video display"
Just to add more recent infos My poco 6/128 Global Version manufactured 01/2019 have Tianma panel, perfect backlight but I can say sometimes fails when trying to type fast, it's not a problem with edges but seems more a problem with touch input recognition that is not uniform among the panel

In the new versions of the miui the option to see it is gone the only way to figure it out is by using root
And when it comes to your answer I've never said anything like
" this is the truth "
So this is just a conclusion I've came up with to help others who insist on not rooting.
From the results of my investigation this was the conclusion I've ended up with.
And if you've read it carefully you can see that i've said that me and my friends all had the global version. So this is just a conclusion based on me and my friend's experience.
Edit: mine was manufactured in 2019.01 just you let you know.

I haven't said that you did. Just that I can't confirm that Tianma panels have been used only initially (Tianma panels are also being used in the new Redmi Note 7) .
And I agree - it's good to exchange the information, by having more of these comments coming from different Pocophone users, we can get a better view on how Xiaomi is operating when it comes to using very different phone components in the same phone model.
I'm not trying to discourage that, it's just the opposite.
The other phones, like Xiaomi Redmi 6 are also using different panels from EBBG, BOE and Tianma.

You can also try to enter: *#*#64663#*#* using your dial pad. It should bring up the same QC test menu. Check it out.

Nice write-up, all good to know - surprised that nobody else has liked the post. I checked and found I have a Tianma display so yay (imported mine on launch day, dunno about manufacture date).
Also concretely puts to rest the "But I don't have touch problems in PUBG so it's not a design flaw but might be software issue" arguments.

Like i said in the new versions of the miui specifically beta versions the qc test menu doesn't show the display info like i said I've rooted my device and loaded pe for my taste and have a custom kernel I've just wanted to give my opinions on it for the users who want their devices to stay unrooted like you said. And I've said it before but I'll say it again i have the ebbg panel it's not like I'm not satisfied. For the price I'm more than satisfied with the poco.

Like you said the touch problems are software related some users reported that the new versions of the miui/firmware with the new touch drivers had problems such as touch lag multi touch not working and recent reports from the users are good poco team has kept their promise and fixed the issues so it should be okay for the users to flash the new firmware/miui updates without worrying.
And from what you are saying my conclusion got stronger the ones from launch mostly have the tianma panels and I'm gonna say it again this is not going to be true for every launch manufactured poco but if you are frustrated you can probably rest relieved because most likely you have one of the best panels poco f1 has shipped with.
@CosmicDan And thx for the reply I'm happy that users got what they wanted.
Edit: New reports from my friends show that the newly manufactured ones mostly have the nvt panels instead of tianma especially for the 64gb versions all the low quality panels stay the same.

I too have an nvt screen. How's it in quality as compared to tianma?

It's generally same.
Tianma is LCD display ; NVT is touch panel

I am not using the Poco phone but the redmi note 7. I have the same tianma panel as some of the users of f1 do.
Seems to be also facing a touch latency problem. Any fixes yet other than custom roms.?

Tiamana panels dont have that issue..your will be fixed with driver updates

Is buying POCO X3 an upgrade for a POCO F1 user?

I've been using Poco F1 for almost 2 years and now i want to change my device... So, is buying Poco X3 an upgrade or a downgrade w.r.t battery, camera, performance, touch, display
battery+
camera+
performence -
touch? bulid quality? same plastic feel
display +
Yes definately
Way better camera
More responsive and precise touch
Amazing screen
Yeah, came from Poco F1 and it is indeed an upgrade in almost every field.
Though, I would recommend that you wait until your Poco F1 get unusable or something, there hasn't been any huge changes in the industry, if you think you will get something that really offer a different experience, you won't.
What about UI? Is it lag free?I saw a review and the guy was facing lag while opening and closing apps... And is screen ghosting still an issue while scrolling or is it resolved?

The UI is lag free most of the time. What you need to remember is that the 120Hz is adaptative, so when you didn't touch your screen for a couple of seconds it goes to 60Hz, or to 30Hz when you watch a video. So if you happen to rotate your screen for exemple when it is at 30/60Hz, it feels pretty laggy.
I'd stick to the F1 untill stock ROM get's all issues solved, has some really annyoing stuff, or it gets fully functional custom ROMs
No. I switched from Poco F1 to Poco X3 and I haven't noticed huge difference except screen size and weight.
I think i will return X3 and wait another year with F1.
I would stick to F1, I only upgraded due to cracked screen and not being able to find a cheap replacement that cracks just as easily. The battery is a nice plus but I find F1 last over a day already so if you charge at night there isn't any point.
I bought the Poco F1 back in 2018 and recently sold it.
I'm using a Poco X3 NFC now and I really like the display quality, way better battery and better main rear camera.
I'm not regretting not buying the India non NFC 6000 MAh battery version because I really neded NFC in Europe, not only for payments but for other gaming related stuff.
I've disabled the adds and uninstalled the bloatware apps using some youtube tutorials.
Games using NFC? Could you pm some examples, don't wanna spam this thread
Hi there, I'm on Poco F1 since first days of 2019 and I really like the native call recording feature on Global stock ROM. Is this feature present on Poco X3 either? Thanks in advance.

?
I replaced cracked screen and battery in Pocophone F1 for ~30€ yesterday. Now I can get rid of Poco X3.
If the picture quality in the F1 is ok for you, I would keep it, as X3 is really great for its price, but doens't provide that much upgrade.
If you want more in everything go directly for Poco F2 Pro.

Poco X3 doesn't have native call recording.

Poco X3 Face unlock not working in the night

The Face unlock does not seem to work in the night. It works perfectly alright on the Poco F1 and really really fast! Its one of the best Face unlocks one can experience. You also see the Infrared light glow when it tries to Unlock. However, this is completely missing on the Poco X3.
Because it doesnt have IR Sensor on its front that has capability on seeing light even on the dark... While the Poco X3 NFC has the capability to have a face unlock, it still need a decent light to scan up faces and it uses A.I. Tech

Thanks for your reply.
You would be right, but isn't that like a downgrade. Its not that I will be using it very frequently, but i did notice right on the first night, so probably it is going to be missed out.
Given the situation, I dont think this can be fixed in the next updates as well.

POCO F1 is Series Flagship, and Poco X3 is midrange. so technically it is downgrade. and if you don't know how IR camera works, good luck for using it at night.

Yeah, its permanent, you cant tweak it because it is on its hardware... it doesnt have the capability... because if they would add ir sensor, it will cost them again at designing and manufacturing it so it would cost maybe $20-$40 more on the Poco X3's price and that would that personally me can't buy it because I'm really on a tighta budget
The 'spirit' or idea of the poco series was supposed to be budget flagship. The first Poco F1 had things missing to reduce cost. Like plastic back etc.
This year the SD865 an SD865 plus had 5G modums making it very difficult to repeat the exact success of the F1.
So this year they aimed for flagship 'experience' as well as low cost with a midrange device. Again some things left out to reduce cost.
They could of left out NFC for me an put front firing infrared camera for face unlock.
In New Zealand almost no one uses NFC. We use pay wave on chipped debit cards instead.
But the X3 hits the mark of providing a flagship experience mostly.
The F2 pro missed it in 2 major ways. Price an refresh rate. It got way too high in price in an effort to repeat the F1 experience.
So the X3 is a nice middle ground.
Can't wait till I try mine in November
You guys are missing a major point here, although there is no IR Camera, but thank God, there is also not a huge f**ing notch on it's forehead

Recently i switched form f1 to x3 pro.
I tried face unlock in dark environment and it didn't work.
Problem was from my screen protector that cover the infrared blaster.
After removing screen protector,
I can see the Infrared light glow when it tries to Unlock and it works fine.

Chill bro.
My poco x3 pro have ir face unlock without any notch. So technology solved this

Question Poco X3 Pro screen recording

I am currently using Redmi Note 9 Pro with SD 720G and when recording gameplay videos, it struggles to output 60fps.
I am thinking about getting the X3 pro with SD 860. Will this function improve dramatically? I am using both build-in screen recorder and I also bought Xrecorder. My intention is to limit the fps to 60 and not use 120 mode in games.
Exact model:
Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro - Full phone specifications

I also saw few reviews that the X3 Pro suffers from microstutters, as I understood something about the panel itself, something like pixel slow response time?
Is this true and will it translate to the recording?
Thanks guys.
No microstutters here. Don't know about anyone else's experience. Panel issues, if any ( I had none ) will not translate to recording output.
You can read about a lot of issues with the Poco X3 Pro around here. Considering the amount of said phones sold and used, it's a drop in the ocean, and within normal.
Stuff that inexperienced people do to their phones is staggering. When they mess up, guess where they come to cry for help?
Hope you buy the phone and flash a custom firmware on it, because that's the reason people buy Xiaomi/Poco phones. Hardware is great, software side sucks a$$.

Thanks, already got it last week. I am waiting for the bootloader to unlock before I start using it, but from what I saw it runs smoothly. I think people are confusing stutters with FPS drops in some apps. I noticed that when I launch some not recently updated app, the screen switches from 120 to 60 Hz/fps
I think there is a way to force it, but its ok. I recorder some stuff, smooth like butter.
