Oversensitive auto-rotate - OnePlus 5T Questions & Answers

Is anyone else's 5t pretty sensitive and auto rotates at times you don't want it to just by a small movement?

So this is still driving me crazy, small movements continue to make the screen auto-rotate when trying to do something. Is there any way to calibrate the accelerometer?

Any answer for this?

this was allways an issue to me on all oneplus devices. Theycan fix this problem by simply raising the rotation trigger treshold. but i guess there are not venough complains. it should be possible with root too but i dont know exactly what file/line to modify.

Yep, I have locked mine to portrait mode which seems to be fine for me 90% of the time for me. I do hope they fix this though..

+100 but unfortunately seems most of the people (including oneplus) don't care.

Yep. I had a thread on this when it first came out.
I wish I could find an app that worked well enough to let me just pick and choose what I want to auto-rotate, but they all are a little flaky.

I've locked it to portrait. This is an OOS issue or all ROMs? Haven't dabbled with any custom ROMs yet, but if it can't fix this annoying issue, I'm all for it.

Had this on all the Nexus ROMs as well....always on portrait does it for me.

Just saw this in the articles section.

Could be worth a try.

Touch input offset in some apps

Hi guys,
I noticed a decent vertical offset with all my touch inputs. Whenever I press the screen, it recognizes the touch event about 1cm below the actual input I made.
The weird thing is that this happens only in certain apps, speaking of chrome for example.
Furthermore the hover point of my spen is in the right position, but as soon as I touch the screen, it's too low. Very annoying when pressing links in chrome..
Anyone experiencing the same issue? I'm running the latest firmware bmf2 with my n5100
Ps: you can check it by hovering over the screen, pressing the spen button and then drawing a line..
Edit: this example seems to work only with gmd spen control enabled. Nevertheless the described issue is still present when using chrome and spen control disabled...
Edit:
Possible workarounds:
- flip to landscape and back
- use chrome in multi window mode
I can confirm I have the same problem I thought it was just me lol.

Thanks for your reply
Found out a strange thing:
If I start chrome in multi window mode (using alternate window mode) it seems to work just fine. Does this work for you, too?
At least it seems to be a software issue.. probably fixable (hopefully )
It's the same for me too. Only in Chrome and sometimes the top part of the page is hidden under the address bar.
I think is software related.

Same on mine as well - very frustrating, and I don't see anything on Samsung support pages
Happens on mine too. To clear it try flipping it to landscape and back

I had this problem also but only in Chrome. Finally gave up and went to Opera. So far zero problems. I recommend you try that.
Same here. I hope an update will come soon.

Have you posted it to Samsung's pages? If so, got a link? I'd like to help push getting this fixed. Thanks.
This is a known problem in Chrome:

As you note, you can easily fix the offset by switching to landscape mode and back. I'm am curious, though, which other apps you've observed this problem with. The only app I've had a problem with is Chrome.

And gmd spen control. If you activate it (try lite version) and draw a line with spen button pushed, you will notice exactly the same offset. Imo it's the same issue, though I have no idea what should cause it for only a few apps and not for others as well..

Interesting... does it go away if you switch to landscape then back to portrait the way Chrome does?

Nope, still present. But didn't play much with it since I prefer gesture control. Haven't reported it to the developer either..
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=260804
Please star the issue, unless one of us has some epic insight on how to fix it.
Seems from the comments on the bug that a fix will be coming in Chrome 29, whenever that gets rolled out. Those running Chrome Beta should see it sometime next week.

[Q] Disable swipe to go back/forward

I really like reading ebooks on my phone but when I'm scrolling down it keeps going back or forward a page. it drives me nuts. I already have motion turned off and it doesn't seem to be the app (ezpdf)..
Any way to disable this annoying "feature"?
Thanks

Nobody knows? I thought there were smart people around here...

if you can not answer the question, does that not put you into the same Cat.........
as far as the page layout thing I don't have a PDF file big enough to flip pages and see if I get the same issues.

New amazing feature I found after Marshmallow update !!!

So, I found this feature by mistake and I have been looking for something about it on the Web and can't find anyone talking about it.
After the Marshmallow update (coincidence or not, someone tell me) I have been able to dim the screen manually whenever I want by covering the whole of the watch screen! It's an amazing feature and doesn't require any proximity sensor or whatever.
Is this really new or am I telling you something so "known" that I should hide myself? :angel:
Nevertheless, I felt I should open this thread so that anyone who didn't know it until now, like me, gets to know this amazing feature.
And who already knew, how did huawei manage to do this? The screen must support multi-touch so that it feels several fingers covering the whole screen huh? I've made some tests and it is actually really really accurate.
Try it for yourself :highfive:
This feature worked for me from day one on Huawei, even before the new Marshmallow update.
Cool feature, but been there previously...

Yeah, it's been around for awhile. I guess you didn't go through the introductory demo. I believe the feature has been around since the beginning. I remember seeing it on my old Moto 360 1.0.
On mine it doesn't work? Does it have something to do with the fact that the watch is connected with the iPhone?
Sorry to rain on your parade but as I recall, that was right in the intro tutorial!
Is there a setting to turn this off and on? I can't seem to get this to work. My watch is paired with a Nexus 6.
this feature will work when you have ambient sensor like the 360

This feature uses multiple touch points and does not need an extra sensor. It worked on the Huawei from day one.
Got it to work! Thanks for the insight.
It has been like that before MM.

You have to get your whole palm touching the touchscreen. Push it against the screen, don't just lightly cover your watch.

i tried by touching whole of my palm into the screen, then it vibrate and the screen is off.
is it work like that ? it's just go into standbye mode, not decreasing the brightness

Weird, maybe it is your watchface. I've tried this with pujie black, go to launcher(menu) and covered the screen.
Watch went to standby, lower brightness, exactly as if it just timed out by itself.

i tried to set always ON = ON, and covered the screen with my palm..
then the screen goes to standbye mode with dim watchface as seems like when the screen time out..
but when setting always On=Off, the screen goes off when covered with my palm. like this ?
hendry yes it supposed to behave like this
I'm pretty sure this function was in the tutorial before marshmallow even.

Touchscreen delay - anyone else experience this?

Running the latest global beta 7.6.1 ROM just updated tonight... was same on 7.5.16 too
My Google pixel does not experience this.. It is really bad on games too - like Pixel Gun and Minecraft PE
I have similar stuff happening on 7.5.19 Xiaomi EU ROM. But it doesn't bother me.
Basically, I think the ROM gives some tolerance on how far should the initial movement has gone to unlock the pointer from the initial position. Definitely not a hardware problem.
Does anyone else have this issue? I am thinking about returning my MI6.. can anyone else take a video using the multitouch tester like me, and doing a touch and fine movement on the screen without making the circle move? please help! I really need to know if this is just the phone, or whether mine is faulty. thanks so much in advance

Actually the touch is very sensitive, just the way they decide that if you put down the finger like that, no mistouch (no movement is recorded). Whenever I play game, just push enough and move your finger and I have no problem with that (as a habit of gamers, I don't stiched my fingers on the screen that much).
Actually if you put the finger down and move it a little, it move the circle. But if you hard push for longer, slightly move don't move the circle. Hope you can sort it out.

That's what I have suggested to him too.
There shouldn't be a problem if you immediately move your finger upon touch. It's just if you don't move, it'll create some threshold in order to the cursor to be movable from the initial position.
Does the multitouch works good when you are not holding the phone in the hand? try putting the phone on a pilliow and try using 5 fingers on the screen with this multitouch tester app and see if it recognize all 5 fingers.
I had the nexus 7 2013 and it had that problem :/

There's actually no problems at all touching the screen. its only when I touch then drag, I need to move my finger greater than 5mm for it to recognise the finger is moving - if moving the finger slow... Watch the video I posted in first post and you understand.
In a game, for example. playing a FPS game like Minecraft - you select the block you want to remove and then you swipe your finger from that block to the next its very jerky, because the pointer does not unlock with small finger movement. takes big movement then its unlocked. once unlocked its fine - the whole time I don't lift my finger from the screen..
So its really annoying playing games - because I have to touch the screen, then swipe to unlock the pointer, then I can aim and shoot at the enemy or remove blocks in minecraft.
Some have said its the game, but you can also try with the stock launcher - going between screens of apps, you swipe left or right, it takes 5mm finger movement before the screen starts to move to the next..
I tried the inbuilt Finger touch sensor tester, and the touch and move finger 5mm is represented as 2 pixel dots - instead of a line. so something is farked up in the software. I have 2 x MI6 (bought another to test) and both seems the same... Xiaomi need to fix...
Well my Mi 6 is on the way from GearBest China and when i will get it i will install the Global Rom and will try to do this test with this app and will see if i have the same problem as you.
Purchased mine on Gearbest aswell (international rom), came with 8.0.2.0 upgradeable to 8.2.2.0, I upgraded and I have not this problem at all.
Maybe they fixed it with the latest update?

I also have Nexus 7 2013. The problem was jittery touch when you do multi-touch. It's kinda different problem.
But the case in Nexus 7 2013, it can be fixed by pushing the fix via ADB.
Same here.
But i think the developers want it.
I think it is a feature, not a bug. For better usebility.
Yes lol, a feature that we don't really want exactly like the notification light new feature which is that it only have one color - white.
Hmmm.. Maybe I'll order the OnePlus5 when its out... and use the MI6 as a spare

I tested this, on a friends Xiaomi Rednote 4, the touch delay wasn't there as far as we could see, so it doesen't seem to a feature of MIUI, maybe it's a bug or something.
It was running MIUI 8.1 I believe.
If it is a bug, you should ask Xiaomi to fix it.

Question (FIXED) POCO F3 Touchscreen doesn't respond well to precise small touches

(POCO F3 LATEST MIUI 14 STOCK)
I got this new phone yesterday, overall it's pretty good, but i noticed something weird, when playing games, specially shooters where you need presicion it doesn't have a good response to small movements,
it's like having high deadzones with a analog stick from a controller, it doesn't recognizes position changes of the finger immediately after the start of its movement.
i have to pass a couple milimeters of distance from the initial position to the next to register, i haven't seen much people talk about this but some people say that it is a phone issue, others say it's a miui or rom issue, i seriously want to root the phone to test other roms, but i don't want to lose the warranty right now so i want to make sure if i can do something i didn't do.
My poco x3 nfc didn't have that issue, but i sadly can't do comparisons because it's not longer working.
Video example from reddit, not my post but it is my exact problem.
Thanks for reading.
(EDIT) i fixed it! it was just to manually adjust some settings in game turbo, this was getting through my nerves, please watch this video if you have the same issues.
I have the same problem with that, but i tried a lot of roms and fixes for that nothing helped.
If you really need only in game's, i found a solution of small movement via gyroscope, maybe that could help you.
This sucks... Yeah i use gyroscope to do these small movements for now.
Do you have the same phone? I'm thinking of returning it, but i still don't know if this one i got is a bad unit or all poco f3 suffers from this. I'm still thinking what is the best thing to do.
I have same phone i don't think its unit problem . Root your phone (you can easily unroot later) and use increase touch magisk module by vito hermawan.

Dont use Pro mode, just go into custom and to like the guy said on video.
I don't recommend you to change any of those touch settings.it becomes more choppy. Just disable swipe to screenshot feature.

Hey guys, i fixed this problem with clearing all data of "battery and performance" and this enables 120fps in cod mobile and i dont have latency with touch. Try it, it will solve all your problems.
