Question Screen touch sensitivity is kind of insane - Google Pixel 6 Pro

My 6Pro is, just like the title suggests, super sensitive for very certain things. Because of a bit of a hand disability I have gestures turned off and I rely on the Back, Home, and App Overview buttons. But the Back button is crazy. When I tap it, about half the time it will double or triple tap. The App Overview button is super weird too, but I suspect that it is it's own thread in Android 12 forum.
I've gone through to make sure that in the Display settings, the "Increase touch sensitivity" is disabled. I don't know of any other option that could affect this. I'm going to try to reach out to Google for help, god help me. But maybe someone has some ideas or maybe is already aware of if this is a hardware bug?

Yeah, I have the same random issue....
Simple/single/small touches of the back button, become double/multiple registered touches for some reason?
IT IS a very frustrating bug at times

Under accessibility setting touch and hold to medium solved my sensitivity problem (sounds like i was Emo LOL)

I've reverted my setting to short now that I'm on the March update and it seems this is much better. I'll post further if my testing shows that medium is still the optimal setting, but short seems fine right now

Nope scratch that it's just not as bad it still does it back to medium

[HELP] On-Screen Keyboard Options Pop-up ALL THE TIME

I don't know is it an issue only I have, or maybe it's a well-know problem that Touch Pro2 users have to deal with but whenever I hit the lowest, middle part of the screen, the Keyboard's Options pop-up, although there's no icon to click. The on-screen keyboard on the other hand never pop's-up by itself, so the issue only regards the Option's box.

}
I find this highly irritating, 'cause it happens EVERYWHERE: when I try to hit OK in G-Alarm; when I'm not too precise with the Sense slider or - and this is extremely irritating - when I play games designed for Portrait mode (the upper screen was taken while playing "The Simpsons Arcade"). Portrait mode games are just unplayable (hence the controls are often in the lower screen parts).
I don't really use the options box. If I ever use the on-screen keyboard (which isn't often) I have it always set to Phone Keyboard when in Portrait, and to Full Qwerty in Landscape. I never change those options so if it's possible to disable the Option's box all together that'll be just fine.
I'm not sure is it relevant, but I use an official ROM upgrade to Sense 2.1
Oh come on! I'm sure someone can help. Please? This is a truly irritating bug.
dude, i've never had this happen unless the keyboard icon was present in the middle. sure, if i hit a little weird (which technically I think is to the right of the icon (?)) that screen pops up..
I have no idea why its happening, but since no one has replied, I wonder if it is a glitch or bug w/ just what you got..? have you tried any other roms or resetting to factory default?
Not yet - I'd hate to reinstall all my applications, set them all over again and tweak the phone from scratch (I know I can do a backup but if I would decide to install a new ROM I would switch from the official upgrade (Sense 2.1 with WM6.5) to a cooked 2.5 and the backup wouldn't work).
I don't really fell like doing that just to fix one minor problem.
It's like with bugs on Windows PC - people usually let you to format your disc and install the OS again, but I'm always able to fix any issues I have without formating the device (I haven't done that in a year).
But I'm not that good with Windows Mobile, so I'm asking for your help, oh mighty ones
I'm sure it's something that could be fixed within the registry of with Total Commander - I just don't know how to find the bug myself.
Maybe someone could post his/hers setting from the registry (from directions that have something to do with the on-screen keyboard) so I could compare them with my reg keys?

[SOLVED]Auto-rotate too sensitive on right side

Hello,
My N7100's a little too sensitive to rotation on the right. This just started happening 2 days ago, out of the blue. For the left side, I have to rotate my phone properly into landscape mode but to the right, even if it is tilted 1/8th of an inch e.g. while picking phone up, switching hands or left handed operation, it will suddenly rotate to landscape.
I have tried calibrating the gyroscope some 10 times but to no avail.
Any solution to this?
Thanks!
SOLVED: Read post #8
No one?
It's a bug in samsung touchwiz (4.1.2)..I have it too only solution I got was to use ultimate rotation control it will help or else if you can wait for samsung to fix it in 4.2.2
Here's the app link I hope it helps

@mufaddalezzi Thank you for your reply. However, my problem has not been solved by the app since it doesnt adjust the sensor.
My problem:
Phone thinks its tilted to the right while it is only 5-6 degrees to the right. I cant play games that require motion sensing such as Temple run because the character is running to the right with the phone being perfectly straight.
XDA, i need your help!
P.s: i tried restoring to an older nandroid backup from TWRP but to no avail
Tried. Calibration from the service menu at *#0*# under Sensors and again, no help. This wathe post that fixedit for someone else

Maybe it's a hardware failure(accelerometer or gyroscope)..that means you might need to change/replace it

Sure? I am not covered by warranty and would hate to sell my phone the gyro works fine its just that the calibration of it is wrong, the phone thinks it is tilted slightly to the right
I figured it out. For anyone else with this problem:
1) Boot phone into safe mode (Turn phone off and turn it back on. As soon as animation starts press and hold volume down button - It should say SAFE MODE in the lower left corner of the screen when turned on)
2) Reboot phone
Voila!
Mystery solved. Case closed.

Split screen the multitasking button is dead??

I think I have identified a bug. Once I am in split screen the multitasking button seems to not work at all. Anyone else can confirm this? Can go home and bring up next app...but multitask just doesn't respond to a press.

I think that's because you are in split screen that's the nature of it

No... normally it will let you multitask to next app in the active one. Also, seems it works in gesture mode.
Here is what it looks like working in gesture mode. The button only works to disable split screen with a long press while using the nav buttons.

Works in gesture mode, but gesture mode has various issues. It's not compatible with like Nova launcher and also isn't compatible with the YouTube, Maps, and other pop up windows. Basically multitask buttons seem to be properly compatible with standard Android 9 stuff and gestures aren't always...but seems maybe the split screen is still some EMUI rather than Android version or something? Basically though some bugs here that I didn't have on Mate 9 with EMUI 8.
Ok... original issue is related to some silly nonstandard multitasking when in split window and need for the stock launcher to be default. Multitasking doesn't bring up active apps, but an app list ran by stock launcher...dumb. home doesn't disable split screen either so does almost same thing as multitasking button. Why was this all setup correct on EMUI 8 and now all jacked up on 9 with the gesture nonsense option.
Please fix this Huawei!

Question Is there a way to adjust the screen sensitivity (Pixel 6 Pro)?

The screen on my Pixel 6 Pro is so slippery. More than half the time when I need to do a long press, it interprets it as me initiating a drag/swipe. Is there a way I can turn down the sensitivity? (Settings > Display > Increased touch sensitivity, is off.) {Mod edit: Hidden spam link removed. Oswald Boelcke}
Since you probably run Stock, the only option that comes to mind would probably be
-> Settings
-> System
-> Languages & Input
-> Pointer speed
Change that to your liking, and see if it improves your experience.

@Nergal di Cuthah has posted the answer below. awesome job, always forget about that setting!
Same here, had this issue since day 1. Let me describe it.
Reading a news article and I start to scroll. Many times it will interpret that as a long press and then as I scroll it starts selecting text like I wanted to cop it.
Most annoying.

So far this seems to be helping a great deal. Thank you very much!
So I'm on March's release now and have reset this setting to short as a test, so far it's acting much better, not highlight text as i scroll and long presses don't seem to drag. Will write back if while i test it it goes back to bad
Nope scratch that it's just not as bad it still does it back to medium

Question can't turn off back to home screen animation in gesture navigation mode, help

I am a new s22 user, I have turned off all animations in the developer settings, all animations are turned off except when you swipe up from the bottom in any open app to go to the home screen, the app screen does a little animation and shrinks into the app icon. it's pretty annoying. it only happens in gesture navigation mode, if you change it to the button navigation bar, pressing the home screen button at the bottom shows no animation. does anyone else experience this? I did all sorts of searches online, but the results are not consistent, it feels like it's a problem related to the android 12 rather than Samsung and many pixel phones have the same issue.
If you want traditional virtual buttons, Galaxy store>Goodlock family of apps>Navstar
One Handed Operation plus is another Good Lock app that allows dozens of swipe gestures switches from the right/left sides. Very customizable and uses almost no battery.

All stock N10+ using the above options. Edge is also active and can be used in conjunction with One Handed Operation plus.
doesn't really answer my question though, do you have s22/android 12 phone? would you be able to confirm for me even all the animations are turned off in the developer setting, the back-to-home/minimize app gesture still shows annoying animation? thanks kindly to anyone who can confirm this for me (so that I know it's a system problem rather than a problem with my phone/software)

Yes this seems to be OS level. I get the same behavior on both my S22 Ultra and Tab S7; both running Android 12. I use Microsoft Launcher on both, so it's not a OneUI (at least I don't think it is) feature. There doesn't seem to be a way to turn it off. At least not without digging in to the OS.
