touch issues is a hardware problem and will not be fixed

well 2 months passed and we tried every software out there for pocophone but touch issues are not fixed yet .. some of touch issues could be fixed by software but what will not be fixed is the screen edges touch and apparently it is faulty
writing on keyboard on poco is the worst ever .. it is laggy .. edges do not register .. lots of mistakes in abnormal way .. something is fishy here
we want
1. a statment from xiaomi to admit the hardware problem
2. open the door for a replacment with fixed screen pocophone f1
3. or an upgrade to similar spec mobile with 845 sd
4. or just refund us our money
please we need the support of every owner there of pocophone f1 .. write a comment and share the topic and raise the discussion.. we trusted xiaomi .. and we endured waiting for a fix .. it is not appropriate xiaomi to betray that trust
n.b to people who think there mobile is fine : 1st all miui software were tried even beta releases up to 8.11.29 .. 2nd thats not some sporadic cases it is almost all the majority of the ppl who bought the phone just search the forum .. 3rd some people wont notice the problem because they dont use fullscreen gesture and their keyboard do not reach lower edge also some ppl do not write fast .. 4th people asked for replacment and they got multiple replacments all the same with same touch issues .. 5th i didnt try different kernel but if the phone company cannot fix it so you convice me that and an outside fix have done it ??!! and why would i download an outside kernel and void my warranty if discovered ???!!! .. 6th and the most important one if touch doesnt matter to you or you claim that your phone touch is 100% i am happy for you but that changes nothing for the majority of us as we have a real not addressed problem here

Try 8.12.6 or 8.12.7 pie builds.

Touch and UI is getting better BUT MORE PROBLEMS COMES THAN ITS SOLUTION.
-Screen freezes and you have to lock and unlock your screen for a temporary fix
-Multi touch/Ghost touch issues (happens 8/10 during gaming session)
-Screen flickers (happens after 8.11.29)
-Sometimes the touches doesn't register on the navbar and the middle of the screen
It's time for Xiaomi or the POCO team to make an official statement regarding this issue. It's been 2 to 3 months already. Time for them drop the pride and more trust will be gained

Return your device then. I don't have any such issues, so yes it is obviously a hardware problem but only to your device.

Except it's happening to 9/10 POCO USERS. Saying it only just happens to his only Poco is absolutely absurd as it took about 2-3 months for the devs to fix this 'software' issue. They should have make an official statement about this before they start losing more trust.
Sure you don't have any issues because you're not trying hard enough for your poco to replicate those issues that other poco users have. I can safely assume you don't even play tap intensive games such as drums on your poco

apparently it's 8/10 since i don't have these issues as well
and i play a lot of pubg so if there's the touch issues i would know...

Miui 8.12.4 beta works better, no ghost touch, but lack of sensitivity..
Miui 8.12.7 beta fix the sensitivity, but it has ghost touch..
This is my finding.

That's called the False Consensus Effect. If it was even 5/10 users, you would see it on every single Facebook post and all over the web. I literally only see it here on XDA and on MIUI.com sometimes, always from few users.
Be passive aggressive all you like, implying that I don't use my phone properly. It's still not our fault that you have buyers remorse and didn't return the device for something else when you had a chance.
Complaining about it here is pretty pointless though so I just assumed you were looking for attention.

But... they have already fixed laggy edges and typing is fine now. What they didn't fix is the bottom and top edge of the screen and now they have latency (but they worked fine before on every stable Oreo so idk). I too think it's a hardware issue that can be optimised/almost fixed on the level of kernel because the edges' reaction to touch is still very weird regardless of the fix but from version 8.11.23 on you can type fast or play drum games on Poco just fine. I just want them to fix the bottom and top latency and all will finally be good. I have to say the Poco team took the touch issue quite seriously because they could have just released a ridiculous statement like they did about screen bleeding but they actually did something about this. We just need to be a little bit more vocal about the remaining issues, offer them feedback and I believe they will resolve them eventually.

I don't really care what effect or aftereffect or what are you implying. You should notice by now the most brought up issue about the Pocophone is the touch issues but hey you got unaffected ones lucky for you then.
Didn't return the device when we the affected ones had a chance? Lol.
The poco teams stated that the touch issues are 'software' related and we trusted them for updates and such.
3 months now waiting for a 'software' fix and trust me I REALLY hoped it was software.
If by stable around December the touch isn't fixed. I'lll probably use the warranty.

1st all miui software were tried even beta releases up to 8.11.29 .. 2nd thats not some sporadic cases it is almost all the majority of the ppl who bought the phone just search the forum .. 3rd some people wont notice the problem because they dont use fullscreen gesture and their keyboard do not reach lower edge also some ppl do not write fast .. 4th people asked for replacment and they got multiple replacments all the same with same touch issues .. 5th i didnt try different kernel but if the phone company cannot fix it so you convice me that and an outside fix have done it ??!! and why would i download an outside kernel and void my warranty if discovered ???!!! .. 6th and the most important one if touch doesnt matter to you or you claim that your phone touch is 100% i am happy for you but that changes nothing for the majority of us as we have a real not addressed problem here

Seems to be fixed on 8.12.7. Update is available.

Successfully update to open beta 8.12.7 via OTA (Locked Bootloader). Following are the observation :-
Good news :-
1) With the update 8.12.7 touch latency of keyboard is is minimized to a great extent but not fully gone.
2) 960fps and night mode is working.
3) Status Bar icon flickering is gone.
4) For me there were no screen flickering issue before the update nor after the update.
Bad news :-
1) Touch recognition near bezels (around 1mm from edges) is still not improved.
2) Youtube Vanced can't be played in picture-in-picture Mode when using full screen gesture.
3) Sometimes Back gesture in full screen mode doesn't work when any apps folder on home screen is open (it was also a bug on 8.11.29).

I'm on 8.12.7 and bottom part of screen (navbar or keyboard space bar in full screen) still misses some touches. Back button on the nav bar has a random behavior, sometimes reacts very well, sometimes lags or misses toch. I hope they find a solution.

Try use your keyboard and type 'q' then 'i' very fast.
If 'iq' comes out then this stable pie used touch firmwares from 8.11.15.
Meaning PUBG aiming where it doesn't register small touches is back.

The new Pie stable does not have the touch fix implemented. It looks like one of the early November beta builds.

50% inverted touch after flash??

Hi all, if anyone could help, I'd be really grateful as I'm now getting desperate!
My RN7Pro China did an OTA update this morning, I ended up with "System Destroyed", so did a reset via MIFlash.
Worked fine, except the right half of the touchscreen is now responding to touches inverted vertically...
What's really strange is the navbar buttons work perfectly across the whole screen, so I'm assuming this must be some sort of software glitch.
Left 50% functions as normal.
Navbar functions as normal.
Right 50% (except navbar) is vertically inverted, in-line horizontally.
Makes the phone almost unusable, I'm happy to try anything and everything to get this working again, I'm an IT engineer with 12y experience, so perfectly capable of following in-depth technical instructions if someone is able to suggest a fix?
I have tried flashing CN Stable/Dev and still have the same issue.
Issue also affects TWRP so I suspect it's changed something at a pretty low level that the Stock ROMs son't touch?
Many thanks for reading

Have you tried resetting the phone ( as in completely wiping out everything including OS) and then try installing MIUI, if it still persists try a custom ROM

Same issue here, China version in use and went to 10.3.9.0 where issue popped up. Tried to go back 10.3.5.0 but issue still exsist. Absolute annoying issue and makes phone totally unusable.:crying:
resetted of phone and etc, but no help.

Mine's now in a drawer, awaiting any form of fix.
I bought an Umidigi F1 Play while waiting......
Terrible issue and absolutely no support from Xiaomi.
Have personally owned Xiaomi phones since the Redmi 2 and never had any issues with flashing software.
Never again.

Try to flash china rom lowest version of miui 10 which is stable. Works for me.

Does not help, lowest u can flash is 1035 which will not fix the issue.
EDIT: flashed custom ROM, still issue persist

Looks like there's a hardware defect in your device, maybe you got a faulty device, try going to a recognised mi store and get it replaced

This is not hw defect, mine was fully functional before firmware update to 1.0.3.9.

What If the phone was dropped or smth..

Hi,
I have the same problem which occurred after update.

Bump. Has there ever been a software-related fix to this issue? I currently have the same problem as described by the OP on a XIAOMI MI 8 Lite (128GB, 6GB RAM), although it only appeared after unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom recovery. I've been flashing ROMs for quite a few years now and also double-checked all the software I've been using, I am certain that I made no software-related mistake. Since encountering the issue I have reflashed various original stock firmwares from xiaomi using both the flashtool and twrp, all to no avail. I've even relocked the bootloader, just to be absolutely certain. Since the entire touchscreen still registers input, I find it hard to believe that it is a hardware related issue, especially since I never dropped my phone and it also never experienced any physical trauma (so to speak). Would really appreciate any further input.

Is there any update ? Strange thing is, it seems not that many devices have this problem ... or I couldn't find other threads about this

Auto rotate / accelerometer seems to be faulty :(

I have tried reinstalling the os, root and unroot. Before the newest update I could get into the debug menu, *#808#, there I could see that the accelerometer is giving faulty data. After the update I can't even get into that menu again.
Seems to be a faulty sensor and something with the software. My facking phone is 2 days old........
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas?

Yeah autorotate sucks for me. Anytime I'm on YouTube and try to watch in landscape it's hit amd miss and i have to keep moving phone to get it to work

Damn. Sounds bad too.

I noticed this while playing Asphalt8 using the accelerometer to steer. It would work for a bit then get stuck trying to drive me into the side of the road!!!
Thinking it may be a bug in the game, I looked at the raw sensor data using Physics Toolbox Suite and saw the same thing. The sensor outputs sensible data for several seconds, maybe even a couple of minutes. Then the values stop changing for about 12 seconds. The length of time the sensor works for is random but the 'dead time' is always about 12 seconds!
Has anyone found a solution to this? Even a hint as to whether it's a software or hardware problem so I can decide if I should send the phone back or wait for an update.
Thanks

Okay thank God someone else has the same issue. I was wondering what was so wrong for the longest time ?

Extremely annoying issue.

It's a software issue. Confirmed.
When I reboot the phone the issue dissapears. Meaning there is something wrong in the OS that tilts the gyroscope readings. At least there is a workaround... Hope OP fixes it soon

I used an OnePlus 5 for 2 years. Now I bought a 7 Pro. I'm wondering doing a downgrade due to this issue. Incredible how a company like oneplus and a premium phone has a software bug like this and there's still no update yet. Months without an update...
The fingerprint sensor also has a bug... Sometimes it simply doesn't work. The touch stops...
OnePlus! Where are you?

Ghost touches?

Anyone else getting ghost touches? It started after 4 months for me. I enabled visible touches and occasionally my device will just start spamming taps everywhere.
I'm going to RMA it, just got to install stock rom first.

Installed stock and RMA'd, they replaced the display and now thr phone is on its way back.
Apparently not re-locking was a good choice, no one cared.

Hey bro, what did u do to fix your problem? Im facing the same issue on Android 11

Replaced the display (I had warranty)

After replacement, it started again. So a screen lasts 6 months, just great...
I've tried the magisk module posted in another thread, but it still happens (not every day, though).
Currently testing out the latest MIUI. Just a day in, nothing so far.

I didn't get this issue in a month of using MIUI 12.5.5, But immediately got it once after flashing ArrowOS 11.
Anyone else facing these ghost touches?
Edit: I installed Xiaomi.eu 12.5.5, let's see if I can reproduce the problem.

Finally reproduced with xiaomi.eu. Seems rare enough to live with though...

a day with xiaomi.eu, so far nothing.
arrowos unfortunately all the time

Poco x2 camera & touch dead

So my poco x2 which was running latest stock miui with locked bootloader had the "cannot connect to camera" issue for two months but I ignored it thinking it's a hardware fault but since yesterday the touch stopped working even though I never dropped my phone and today on twitter there were other people tweeting the same, some say moving to a rom based on oos vendor avoids this problem but now that my phone already has the issue is there a possibility for fixing this issue if I move to a oos vendor based rom? Has anyone tried it

I am also having same issue, both camera and touch dead, any idea how to solve this problem?

facing the same problem on my POCO X2... Don't know changing to custom rom will solve the problem or not...
Is there anyone who tried this method please reply....
We know there is last option to reball the CPU.... But tearing down the device and playing with CPU chip will cause some permanent damage or gradually growing other issues.
So thats why looking for this solution......
