Touchflo issue - selecting items when done scrolling - Touch Pro CDMA

I've been searching for the past hour and can't find an answer to this.
One issue that I have with touchflo is that I often accidentally select an item (or highlight an item/etc) when I try to stop scrolling (or, it'll select an item first, then start scrolling).. I've tried setting the sensitivity / finger pressure settings for touchflo (using diamondtweak) to various settings without any luck..
Basically I'll try scrolling by pressing the screen/moving my finger up or down (it follows) - when I release my finger, it selects the item that I'm on...
how can I get it to not select until I actually tap an item?

As a followup - what are people finding to be the optimal sensitivity settings?

I think this is just how WinMo works with touch screen. I have been used to the touch screen on my iPod touch and have been spoiled by Apple's touchscreen technology that when I got my touch pro a couple of weeks ago, I would also end up accidentally selecting an item (seems to happen more for me in email.) It was getting to be very frustrating but I have much better luck with the touch screen flick & scroll when using the stylus (kinda defeats the whole purpose of the touch screen though.)

I just tried ftouchsl (I had a licensed copy from before) - and had the same results My main issue is with kenetic scrolling - stopping the scrolling usually results in selecting an item
REQUEST TO DEVELOPERS - why not write a little app that uses the capacitive bottom part of the diamond/touch pro to scroll??

I like the idea of molesting the bottom of my phone to scroll things

[Q] Question about screen sensitivity

I am not sure if this is a common issue (I searched with no results), but my US 5.0 is far too sensitive as far as the screen goes. When I am trying to scroll it usually makes a selection instead of scrolling.
For example, if I want to scroll through My Apps in the Market or on Amazon's App Store instead of scrolling it selects whichever app my finger is on whenever I begin the scrolling motion. It forces me to constantly have to use the 'back' key.
Thumb Keyboard doesn't work very well either. I don't know if it is a compatibility issue or if it is related to my screen issue.
I know that screen sensitivity is a big factor in product design, but mine is ridiculously over the top.

Mine will select stuff on it's own from time to time. Especially when I'm holding my finger over the home button or something it'll detect a press right on the screen right above the button. I've learned to live with it.
You might wanna look into an alternate keyboard too, I use swiftkey and it allows you to calibrate the keyboard and customize it greatly.
I solved my screen sensitivity issue by rebooting the player.. I got to thinking about it and realized that I had never rebooted since originally getting the player.
I am trying swiftkey x right now and it is definitely a lot better. I downloaded it a long time ago on my Xoom.

Mate 10 Pro - Unresponsive on first touch after scrolling

Hey Friends,
i noticed, that unlike other phones, I am having the issue of having to tap twice on the screen to get the phone to react.
More specifically, when I am scrolling up (for example the whatsapp contact list) and I tap on a contact shortly after the scrolling has hit the top the app will not go into the contact despite the tap.
I have to wait 1-2 seconds and then tap for it to actually register the tap itself.
I am having a similar tap issue with the nav bar below. I find myself often tapping twice on the circle to get to home. Somehow the hits are not registering in time/correctly.
To my surprise, there are apps (e.g. the home drawer) that react on the first tap.
Anyone with similar issues?
anyone?

No problem for me.
Did you do a factory reset ?
No problem for me also
Mate 10 pro and note that am activating gloves mode
No problem on my Pro either!
No issue here,but I'm running newer firmware.
I'm giving this a try.

I'm having similar issues but went to settings/ smart assistance and messed with "touch disable mode and glow mode"
Also try settings/ language and imput/ pointer speed.
I'm giving this a try for a couple of days before my return period expires good luck!
Case closed?
I thought i was the only one since i hadn't seen anybody post about it
I finally decided to remove the "tempered glass" which after removal I realized its not tempered glass, but a very thick screen protector (don't know what brand, I got this phone from a friend). So I was hoping that the screen protector is the culprit and YES, after removal my touchscreen sensitivity is better now. I wouldn't say it's performing perfectly, but it's much better than before. No more typo every now and then lol.
Edit:
Still getting trouble (just less frequent than before) especially when im typing fast, the letter S and A usually missed out. For example, i typed "missed" but result is "mised". And spacebar too! So annoying
Also like OP, nav bar sometimes i hv to tap twice.
i have problem with navbar not responding for about 1.5 sec after doing some stuff on homescreen. workaround for me was to switch to different navbar style after phone reboot. after next one delay returns. reported it to huawei and we'll see what happens. im on 8.0.0.129. to reproduce just tap anywhere on screen and then rigt after try to press any button on the navbar.
Same here, had touch issue since day 1. Sometimes it ignores space, sometimes I have a hard time using gesture with OnePlus gestures and so on. Gloves mode help a bit. Probably some digitiser are worse and the software can compensate only so much. I mean you can always use the warranty...

Useless space on either side of fingerprint scanner?

I'm surprised by the large black bar across the finger print scanner. Couldn't the notification buttons exist in that space, so that the home screen can use the entire display, similar to Samsung devices? I assume the touch digitizer actually exists in that black space. I noticed the scanner already operates as a home button, all that is needed is that the other two buttons are moved to the dead space on either side.
I find it odd that in landscape mode the display is off-centre to the left, especially the keyboard.
This is one of the things I dislike the most about this tablet. My Oneplus 3 works exactly as you described, and it's perfect that way.
Yeah, I'll be honest, when I researched this device and read reviews, it was not at all obvious that space on each side of the scanner was wasted. It just seemed like a no brainer that the android navigation buttons would be there.
The other thing that through me off is that the camera on the 8.4 inch model sticks out like 5mm. You cant lay the device down flat on a table, the camera takes too much pressure and might get damaged.
These two things really disappoint me, starting to regret my purchase.

got to settings, system, system navigation, off screen navigation button. Now the navigation bar is gone, the finger print scanner selects back if you touch it, home if you hold it, and open apps if you swipe it.
We all have our likes and dislikes don't we...
The first thing I look at when evaluating a tablet is do they have the stupid capacitive buttons on them! Which I hate. And to boot, mfg like Samsung switch them, so if you use 2 devices like a tablet and phone, you have to get used to one one way and one another... sheeeeeesh
The soft navigation buttons can be hidden (swipe up when u need them), change order, even add additional navigation, not so the hard ones, they are permanent. And they seem even more permanent (if that's such a thing) when they are backwards.
Personally, any device with hard capacitive buttons should just be thrown out the window.

Secret menu settings

Is there any secret settings where you can diagnose or check the touch screen or hardware. These ghost touches are making me wonder if it's just my phone that has the problem.
I know Samsung has a secret menu that checks the hardware.
You can enable developers options, then toggle"show touches".
Yes I already did that, and the touch data shows that where two fingers touch the screen, the coordinates where those touches intersect, wil trigger virtual buttons of the app currently being used. It usually happens on the top half of the phone, especially if you swipe both fingers.
Pls verify if yours does the same, other wise I won't know if it's just my phone, or unless someone can give a touch screen test diagnoses that will confirm something is wrong with the touch screen

Question Gesture navigation bar inconsistent and unreliable

Hey guys,
I got the Zenfone 9 yesterday and I'm already thinking about returning it. Main pain point at the moment is the Asus launcher, or rather the gesture navigation. Swiping left and right to switch between the applications is not working well for me. I'd say only half of the swipes (left or right) are actually changing the app. I'm pretty sure that I'm not too clumsy, since I don't have any problems on my Pixel 5 with the gesture navigation. Like I said, sometimes it works for a couple of swipes in a row, then it just stops changing apps. Then it works again.
I found 1 thread on the asus forums where a user had similar problem with the button navigation, without any real solution.
I also tried a different launcher (Nova and Neo Launcher), which of course suffers from the third party launcher bug (home screen blank for a second or just not registering clicks for a brief moment), so using another launcher is not an option and the problem with the swiping is present there as well.
Anybody else have this problem? Anything I can change?
PS: I had to do a wipe data via bootloader since the phone was stuck in a bootloop upon first boot, so I'm not offf to a good start here with this phone.
Use a case and tell us. Maybe a problem of palm rejection...
Using a case doesn't make a difference. I also have this problem when the phone is just laying on a table and I'm using just one finger to swipe on the bar.
After searching some more, I'm pretty sure that it is a defect. This issue is so obvious on my phone, I'm pretty sure it is a defective unit.
I guess I'll be returning this phone then......
Never had a single navigation bar misbehavior
