Is anyone else struggling to swipe? Swiping up for apps is an absolute nightmare it just wants to swipe to the left or right instead, and when your flicking through photos sometimes it swipes fine next it's really hard unless you literally pull your finger all the way across the screen, my old phone was a redmi note 8 pro and didn't have a problem at all with this.
Nope i mean i have some problems with bottom gesture but idk if its better after reflash whole 2gb rom or i just get use to it
Seems like a hardware problem to me, or it could be the screen protector, try removing/swapping it
Getting this as well
I also have this problem, its really triggering me, lol.
In 80% of the cases its totally fine, really snappy. But for the rest, the swipe snaps back to the current panel. It seems for me, that swiping horizontally is fine (for example when scrolling through Facebook).
Was about to send this phone back, but maybe there is a solution or other people with this issue.
I think a lot of this might be down to the poco launcher. I have replaced mine with Lawnchair 2 (along with lawnfeed) and everything feels better.
+1 it's the launcher indeed much better now with other launcher thanks for the tip
I had forgotten to update to MIUI 12.0.2 which has been released recently:
https://www.xda-developers.com/down...ing-out-several-xiaomi-redmi-mi-poco-devices/
After that, it "seems" to be more responsive.

Oh I didn't even think of that, I'm also on Lawnchair v2. So it could be POCO launcher issue
This phone feels like a different device once you change the launcher.
No lags or stutters!
Even at 60Hz it's just so smooth..
Its better but not solved still some weird behaviour in touch in different apps like facebook and playstore for example. In these apps it still feels uncomfortable/crampy.
I suggest you all sent a mail to [email protected]
I got a response from them but the more you guys report this the faster they will push updates

Thanks mate. Tried it with Nova and it's a lot smoother
I also have stutter in the drawer and the multitask view, both when scrolling. Is a software issue, hope they will fix soon. Now I will use nova launcher for few days to see if something change.

I have a S8+, and one thing that really annoys me is how there is about an inch or so at the top of the homescreen that can't be used for icons or widgets. Normally I would put the Google search bar there, but the highest it can go is about an inch off the notification bar at the top. *Really* annoying to have that space and not use it...
I don't really want to replace the launcher (at least not within 2 days of a brand new phone), so is there a way around it? Or do we have to wait until Samsung realises that the screen aspect ratio is slightly longer that a normal phone, and fixes the issue...
While I'm at it, is there a way to change the icon for a folder to use a specific icon (eg. first app in folder), rather than the usual bad looking (to my eyes at least) tiny apps inside the folder look? Otherwise I'm back to using Folder Organizer I guess... I know Nova probably sorts this all out, but it never 100% agreed with me for whatever reason and I always reverted eventually.
Finally, is there a way to get the AOD screen to appear on a clear flip case? Obviously it's being clever by turning off the display when the flip case is closed (magnet thingy embedded in the case), but as the case is clear(ish) then it defeats the point. Nice if there was a switch in options to keep the AOD screen active even if a case is closed on it, but I cannot find it...
Cheers
I never noticed it left that much space… . now it bugs me lol.
Yeah, it leaves a lot of space. Not sure why. You could fit another row of icons easily, but no go currently.

Fair enough. Thought as much. I'll give it a month, see if I reach unheard levels of OCD, and then install Nova if Samsung don't update. Will be about by 10th Nova install, but I always revert eventually. Always something that annoys me with it...
Stupid really, especially as it seems pretty obvious that it's about the right amount of space you gain from the extra length of the S8. Would bet the farm that Samsung forgot the new aspect ratio when it came to this. Honestly, there must be months of testing, and it's hard to believe it was missed.... Unless of course everyone at Samsung just installed Nova... Wouldn't be too surprised...
That AOD issue with the clear flip screen is well annoying though.... Really is a massive pain, especially when you can see right through the case, and even still use the touch screen (useful for answering calls without opening the case). Samsung does an amazing job on the screen, and then their own case has a compatibility issue....
Hmm, just noticed something... First day using while working, and a couple of times while wirelessly charging it has lost the wifi signal. Never (really really rarely) did that with my old Nexus 5. Don't like that considering I clicked on a notification icon on the AOD and it then tells me my network connection isn't available (and then connects before removing the notification so I don't know what it is). That's annoying... Sleep mode or something for wifi? Think I remember something similar years ago... Anyone?
Cheers
Use Nova Launcher and problem solved
@Crivensie, sounds like you're a bit like me. Nothing wrong with high expectations. About Samsung's testing though...I am not sure how thoroughly they test things because I found many bugs on the phone so far and I wasn't even trying. I'm not surprised at all at the issues you're having.

Like in Nova we can lock screen so Icons/widgets do not get delted by mistake
can we do that here in Samsung
Coming from Samsung phones for the last 5 years or so, the OP6 doesn't seem to have the same momentum of scrolling that I'm used to. One flick delivered fast enough gets to the very bottom of all but the longest web pages or lists on the Samsung. OP6 just seems to need several flicks to do the same. It's not as bad as Iphone's scrolling (which feels more like a page down button to me than scrolling), but not as fluid as Samsung. I just unboxed OP6 tonight, so maybe I'll get used to it. But it conflicts the otherwise very fluid and fast interface.
Looked for a touchscreen sensitivity setting and didn't find one. Maybe this is normal? I feel like my thumb is gonna get a good workout with this device.
Anyone else come from Samsung who knows what I'm talking about?
Edit:
Playing with it more. If I use my index finger, and give it a longer swipe, it seems to have much more momentum and scrolls for much longer. But the shorter swipe with my thumb doesn't get me as far, no matter how fast I swipe. I think that is the difference. Samsung responds based more on speed than length of swipe where OP6 doesn't respond the same to a short fast swipe. Normal?
I noticed that too. Maybe is the speed u need !?

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.
Been noticing that scrolling seems off. When scrolling through home pages, it sometimes takes 2 or 3 swipes to go to the next page. Anyone notice this?
Yes, same with swiping up on apps to close them. Seems you just need to swipe a little more aggressively/quickly though and all is well.
Yeah, I came from a 13 pro max and the scrolling was flawless. I feel like I have to keep my finger on the screen to finish a swipe on the pixel, it's pretty annoying.
Is it as noticable when you turn off Smooth Display?
I just tried it with smooth display off and Ii works perfectly. Wonder if it's a bug
This is what happens.

It's one of the first things I turn off as I prefer speed over style but you're right in that there needs to be a balance or a fix. With it on, the phone feels slow/laggy especially scrolling down webpages
It's probably enough for me to return the phone. I can't go back to 60hz lol, it hurts my eyes. I wonder if the 6pro has the same issues.
So another bug, wondering if I made the right decision ordering one of these yesterday!
All new handsets have bugs, although this seems to have more than normal. Hopefully this one will quickly be fixed with an update. There is no way I'm spending the best part of £900 on a phone to only have the screen usable on 60hz.

Yeah. **** I'm really wondering if it was the right decision to get the 7 Pro instead of the non-pro..
Can't say I've noticed an issue. What refresh rate is being displayed when you scroll?
Went to my local Currys and played around on the demo unit there for around 20 minutes. Really like the feel of it, looking forward to getting mine now.
Anyway, for what it's worth I found absolutely no evidence of this issue with smooth display enabled. Everything worked fine on web pages and in the UI (settings menu for example) with the scrolling silky smooth and zero lags, stutters or delays in touch responses.

Definitely some weird scrolling issues. Maybe it's on an old fw or because it's on demo mode and processing etc is bumped up to max. I wonder if they're messing about with the touch boost to try and increase battery life?

Hi all.
Just wondered if anyone has pics of how they're arranging the home screens. This is mine at the moment... Using stock launcher, as I really like the gestures.
I wasnt really a fan of how the stock launcher handled folded and unfolded home screens. Currently using niagra

I find the same to be honest. I'm not a fan of the way things are arranged on the large screen/front screen
That looks a brilliant set up. I love the Icon pack as well!

I would much prefer a samsung like homescreen setup although I dont really like how they handle the app drawer. Completely different homescreens for folded and unfolded is the way to go imo. Extending to the second page (which most launchers seem to do) is very annoying.
Niagra just extending the size of the screen is better than extending to a second page but I still dont think its as good as seperate home screens. I dont think I could use another launcher anyway though. I just really like how fluid it is to use.

Agreed there. I came from A fold 4, I really liked the ability to have different home screens on the front screen, and main screen.
I'll give Niagra a try I think
Total Launcher fully supports two separate home screens and it was quite nice on my Vivo X Fold, but now on the Mix Fold 2, the gestures issues have forced me to use the standard one...

Not being able to use the gestures is a big shame! I did try Niagra launcher from the recommendation above, I really liked it but couldn't get on with the buttons taking up screen space. Total Launcher looks great too!

Yeah I had to use a third party solution for gestures as explained in a previous thread here but the results are good and I havent had any issues after setting it up. Root is required to properly hide the original nav buttons though as the ADB methods dont seem to work on newer android versions.
