Hey guys.
So I love my pocophone and the latest beta update (i'm actually using Xiaomi.eu Rom) does seem to improve a lot with the phones touch lag issue; however, I still kept getting some stutters during scrolling and in particular vertical scrolling. I believe this might be due to screen response times mismatching with screen refresh rates. I believe so because if I dragged my finger at relatively slow speeds (approx 7.5 s to go the entire vertical length of the screen) across even a relatively small page (my app drawer for example), the page would jump as if it didn't track my finger for a split second.
So things I did without much success:
1. used other kernels: franco and extreme (extreme kernel with 65 Hz screen refresh rate was a bit better though)
2. changed animation speeds. (also turned off animations)
3. turned off mi optimizations etc.
Today I found this old forum post on xda (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/mod-increase-frames-5-14-15-t3108786). The author changes the egl swap interval to allow better screen refresh and fluidity. I am not an actual developer so from what I read, it seemed like it might be a decent thing to try. I didn't flash anything however I used the terminal command "setprop debug.egl.swapinterval -60" as suggested by author. This won't stick past a reboot but I think it did help with scrolling smoothness and fluidity.
I was hoping you guys could try it and let me know if there are any differences for you guys.
PS: Again, I'm just tinkering and trying to see what happens. Hoping to get some input from others just in case what I see is placebo. Didn't have any negative effects and I hope you don't either.
I really want to buy this phone but if the "stable" update does not correct all the touch issues (which i strongly believe it is a software issue), i won't buy it.
Of course you have that right. But a few things. Firstly, the phone is great, please use it for a bit to experience this. Secondly, I am being knitpicky and actually most people are reporting no issues whatsoever. In fact, this post is about the fact that I am not currently seeing the stutters. I am wondering if it's because of the changes outlined above and was hoping we could figure out together. Might even be that something else I changed corrected the issue. I just didn't realize it then. Lastly, if you're looking for the perfect phone without any issues, you might have to look away from "flagship killer" type phones. These phones typically give performance that comes at the cost of tiny issues. So are you a fan of the best bang for your buck, the highest highs of performance at the cost of minor tradeoffs that you can work with an active community to fix. Or do you want a perfectly smooth experience. At this price point, you don't really get both.
If the command has helped you you can set the command to run on startup. And try to use a stable build.

The touch issue is not software issue. It has been partially corrected through software, but it will never be fixed. If you want to buy a poco, be sure to search one from December batch because it has the Focaltech panel which is ok, and not the Novatek panel which is the ****ty one.

I highly doubt i can return my phone because it doesn't have the non-touch issue panel.
Any other way to check the batch without checking the box?

Hey there all,
I was wondering... my Tablet S device is quite sluggish, delays between swipes, opening & closing programs, typing etc.
Does anyone else have this issue?
I tried reformatting 3 or 4 times to no avail.
Latest version of the Honeycomb OTA update 3.2.1.
Also, flash on the web is ridiculously slow and causes extreme slowdown. For e.g. on the Youtube website, the flash applet itself causes lag when activated (Using Opera Mobile) and I can only watch up to 480p. Anything above that lags and is unwatchable --- I remember reading that this is due to the hardware limitations of the Tegra 2 chip.
Anyhoo,
If anyone has any ideas or just helpful tips on how to make the device run smoother, could you let me know? I bought this device two days ago and am regretting it hard atm hahah. My phone (Gala SII feels so much smoother/responsive than this tablet)
Thanks all.
Well mate I dont have any experience like that, in fact this is the smoothest experience for me yet (i have a evo 3d )
But I noticed some lag when we have a LWP in use, remove that first and try,
And that LWP lag is gone after I flashed UK FW from AiO tool by condi. maybe you should do the same

Oh?
My Tablet S is experiencing some sluggishness too.
Is the UK firmware better than the US firmware? Why did you flash it anyway?
Have you tried using an alternative launcher like ADW EX? The stock Home launcher from Sony is pretty poor. If you drag slow enough to make the preview windows appear at the top of the screen, the frame rate drops significantly. Always found the swipes incredibly responsive otherwise.
I've got a nice performance boost from rooting, then using AdFree and Overclock Widget.

So Overclock Widget does actually work on the stock kernel?
I'd been researching it, but wasn't game to try yet..

Can't go above 1 Ghz, but you can set it and raise the minimum clock speed to get some more juice out of it. Might help the OP with some sluggishness during basic use.
I have no such problem at all with my tablet s wifi version, even when tethering with my iphone.
Why dont you take it back to the shop and make a complaint?
Thanks to everyone that replied with all those helpful comments.
I have tried everything, standard wallpaper. Format. Rooted.
Hmm maybe it is just my device?
BT keyboard input is really delayed for example. WiFi works due to that workaround (WiFi Locker app) I found using search, though I can't give much praise to the signal strength!
I just assumed the Tablet S was meant to be a bit sluggish (ref: CNET review and others: most say the tablet is a bit sluggish)
Ho dang, unfortunately I can't take it back for repair as I purchased it from eBay! x)
Maybe it's a hardware fault, a certain part(s) aren't working at optimum speeds/levels. I'll try taking it into a service center anyway.
Oh, and i'll try that Overclock widget!
Will report back with findings.
Thanks guys.

I have similar issue. The only solution I'd suggest:
(1) Get a cache remover like "1 Tap Cleaner Free" to remove cache. Cache can be very big ('00MB) in a few weeks.
(2) Get a task watch/killer, to find if there are any resident apps that keep reading activities/data of the tablet. You may then use the killer to kill them or uninstall them. (Frankly, many of those apps available in Play Store are susceptible. They might just want to get something from the user. So sorry that I could have no recommendation. But installing one and remove it afterwards may be fine.)
(3) Sometimes, a simple reboot helps.
Mine is working alright, though not terrific, and is having other issues to resolve. Taking back for service is always the last resort.
Hey there.
Just received my Oneplus 2 yesterday pretty happy overall but having some issues with couple things.
First, I travel a lot so I use Fly Delta app quite a bit. For some odd reason this application will not open on my Oneplus 2. Anyone have the same problem?
Second, my wifi download speeds are pretty terrible. I get about 1/5th of the available speed. I did a side by side speed with Oneplus 2, ZTE Axon and S6. Oneplus always gets around 9-10mbps as opposed to the other phones (they get ~50mbps)
Last but not least I find OnePlus quite a bit slow compared to ZTE Axon (which has the same exact hardware) and way slower than my S6. Apps open a lot slower, information takes a lot longer to load, browsing is laggy. At this point, I am pretty disappointed and the phone is not living up to its hype Oneplus makes is out to be.
Anyone else having the same issues mentioned above? Any help will be greatly appreciated, if anyone knows how to fix any of the issues mentioned above.

I heard about that update and have been checking for the system update all day but nothing yet.
Found a way to download the entire 2.0.1 rom, will do a clean flash and report back.
You have to install it.
After 2.01 everthing seams to improve

Guys, I too received my OP2 just yesterday. Very happy with the phone and its the best anyone could ask.
Just one thing that I couldn't figure out that, there is absolutely no option to turn on the flash during taking the photos!!
Yes, flash doesn't light up automatically while taking photos and there's no option to turn it on manually.
I know it sounds silly. But does anyone else also have the same problem?

Hi, I noticed quite annoying screnn flickering on my Speed 7. It is not on all screens. With rom from karl (galaxy v2) it was just on screen with one dominating blue (eg blue screen with a bit of white text). Later I updated on ROM from ghost v3 and the flickering got even worse. Now, I cannot even tell any pattern. Some screens are flickering the similar one is not. I tried to find some tips for this, but havent found anything useful. Anyone experiencing the same problems?
Hi, with the custom rom v3 by ghostv45 i had this problem too. But only on high brightness setting. It is definitely noticeable.
I went back to official Stock-Rom. No more flickering.
Well, I gave that a try. I have to say it is better with the latest official rom, but not solved completely. I can see it in some cases as well, but as I said it is much better, so I assume this might be some driver issue. Lets see what next updates bring.
known bugs or less

Hello everyone
I also reflected this bug despite having updated the terminal last rom available that introduces the screenshot with a swipe three fingers.
I'm doing this in this issue Zopo Italy since I got the terminal, but without a response we can say that (.... we will send the report to the technical department, we'll know, etc)
What do you advise me to do, there is a stable ROM for this device?
rom the current I is ZP951 20,151,228 to 100,539.
Other bugs found with the latest ROM, and that the Bluetooth headset in the lock screen is bypassed PIN.
I ask your help.
Thank you all.
Hi, Apologise in advanced for a rant but, surely I cant be the only person having issues with this phone? I have black version, in UK with EE. I decided to not get the iPhone XS MAX for this, last year I had the iPhone x it was super fast and efficient. But so far ive had this device 48 hours and im guttered i bought it so far. Im having a lot of issues with fps drops, if I have apps open it goes slow, for example Pokemon go, I find just spinning the ball starts making it lag, compared to my girlfriends s8 and my old iphone, its just constantly feeling unsmooth and dropping frames.
Sometimes the keyboard lags if I have a few apps open, with the specs inside im unsure how it can be failing this bad and lagging for me. Im actually close to sending this back to EE within 14 days, if this doesnt get fixed I cant stick with this for 2 years...
Ive seen a few people talking about performance mode within battery settings but I dont see this, I also dont understand why when im on the phone, notifications arent popping up sometimes, I also have this stupid notification that I cant get rid off, about showing notifications on screen or something.
At the moment, not having a good time at all, is anyone else feeling the same? my version is EMUI 9.0.0.108(C432E10R1P16)
I just dont uderstand how a phone for this cost with the great specs it has can be failing for me so much when multitasking. Especially when watching everyones YouTube videos before launch its running perfectly smooth... I just dont understand it. Maybe its my device? Maybe its just because im used to quick and effecient iphone/samsung devices and this is lacking
Anyone else having issues?
EDIT: I don't understand why, but since making this post, I've had absolutely. No issues with the device, its ran super smooth exactly as it should. In my opinion, pokemon go has ran perfectly. I love this phone, I don't want rid of it and it has so much potential, but I need this performance consistently, not just sporadic where its good for a few hours then suddenly bad again, I've since learned I'm stuck on update 108 apparently there's already a new one out but not with EE yet, maybe they've fixed some. Issues, I couldn't find a change log anywhere
Don't see any of this. I am used to using iPhone (although not X) for work and 20 pro is so much faster
I wish it would be understood that software must settle after first setup for a few days 3-4 avg. Same goes for after a reset
You saying that is slower than S8 is VERY worrying as that phone to me was considerably slower than S9+ or Note 9 and both S9+ and Note 9 were still pretty slow and laggy for me (and a lot of dropping frames) I was expecting an upgrade in terms of speed from Note 9 to Mate 20 Pro :/. Fastest phone I've used is Oneplus 6 and it was waaay faster and smoother than Note 9.
I'll let you know next week how mine is. Did you by any chance do a clean set up (installing and configuring everything from scratch) or did you use the app/feature to clone everything from previous phone?
Same thing here
Occasional keyboard lags, touch latency lag, that annoying notification
Apart from this it's a very good phone
I really hope we can achieve root at some point soon, as now I've got this all setup, I'm starting to miss the additional features root offers....
Clean install, it's weird and this probably sounds so dumb, but when I'm outdoors on pokemon go it feels choppy compared to indoors... However maybe it's not the phone and its an issue with pokemon go. Pubg ran fine, bare in mind you can only. Use low graphics until a later update haha.
I also heard a few people saying that for some reason over a few days it gets better so see what happens

Yes I'm finding lots of issues with software too. Which is a shame because I love everything else. I'm not finding too much lag but I have notice when YouTube is in PIP things do lag.
The camera app switching between wide and telephoto lens is very laggy and hangs... It even sometimes hangs when taking a picture
3rd party launchers are pretty much a no go, there either crash and don't work at all or work with some bugs.
I sometimes get notifications for WhatsApp etc and where the body of the message is suppose to be is blank
I'm finding apps are being closed a lot and not utilising the ram.
So your not the only one, the software has a lot of jank.
Apparently the 108 build isn't the latest and theres a 202 build that's suppose to be the official release version and fixes things. Im going to wait and see if this drops in the next few days and see if it sorts it out

Theres a good chance pokeman hasn't been optimised for emui 9 or the kirin 980 yet
I also got from EE yesterday and am slightly under whelmed. However i haven't had any keyboard lag and the phone for the most part has been fast. The facial recognition had however been hit or miss, the 4k video is abysmal and FHD isn't too great either. My previous htc u12 seems to have a much better camera for both photo and video although the Huawei had more options. The most annoying thing so far is the slide down on home screen that brings up the search bar. Rules out any scrollable widget (Google schedule or bookmarks) s it keeps going to the search function while scrolling. Going to test the camera properly at a gig in the week alongside U12. If it isn't better, it's going back I'm sorry to say. It does charge very quickly though.
The charging is fantastic, super fast... The weird thing I done a benchmark with antutu it got the top device for benchmark literally number 1. So no. Doubt the power is within the phone it just has to be the software. Again sounds dumb but since doing the benchmark the phones been perfect. Very. Smooth no. Issues it's just so hit and miss sometimes it's perfect, other times slightly slow. I noticed with the wide angle camera it. Lags when changing too
Just switched from my old S8 and I'm absolutely stunned with sleek performance of M8 20 Pro. Got my black mob from ee. However once updated I've switched Nova on and removed some unused apps. As previously said I'd performed factory reset and check all once again.
Wait for the final os update and for apps to catch up. Keep the phone for 3-4 weeks and if your issues aren't resolved, just return it (guessing most of you have a 30 day return on it). Just stop whining like children about resolvable software issues.
I had the P20 Pro and loved the hardware but hated the software. Lots of small bugs and annoyances everywhere so after some months I could not stand it anymore. Very tempted by the Mate 20 Pro but am afraid I will hate the software once again

Sorry but it's not whining like children. The software should be polished and work flawless just like the hardware. There's will be updates but no guarantee the bugs will be fixed

with EE as I opened a new contract I only have 14 days, im hoping it turns out well im loving it, its just the issues I mentioned above, its weird, because sometimes its amazing, since I done a stress test on an app and a benchmark its been performing better, its weird.
Sometimes its the best phone ive had, sometimes it just lags and feels like the worst.
I would love some updates before 14 days to reassure me as I do like this phone. I was more interested if others have the same issue
Same boat here pal love the phone but the software is a let down also a lot of stuff missing like AI cinema scan thing.

Have to agree the phone is great but the missing software features (ai cinema, 3d scanning) are annoying. Neither are essential but when a product is launched as including them and a fair chunk of the launch event was devoted to showing how they work id at least expect them to be present!
I've been using the phone for 24 hours and my feelings are mixed. I love the design and size of the device, battery is amazing but the software seems like prerelease.
I've had random sound pops when the phone is on silent, can't use launchers properly with the gestures (stock launcher is terrible), no notification settings for gmail so I can't see how many unread emails I have, no thought on how notifications will show with the notch and zero customisation of the status bar to make more space, it's like the notch has wiped out a feature of android displaying your notifications, no video effects, seems bad to me that review units had it to sell the phone but its not on retail units. I know updates will come but they have to be checked by the carrier which could take a while. At this point I'm not sure whether to stick with it or admit the phone isn't for me.
Just bought the phone, and I love everything about it except one, the touchscreen, I rarely type incorrectly, and I can type fast with my old phone, but with Poco F1, my typo frequency is WAY too much. I found that if I slow down my typing, it will be way faster. (ironic right)
Currently I'm on latest global rom, is changing rom has any effects on this issue?
Try turning off navigation gestures and stick with buttons, tell me if that improves typing.

I turned off the gestures, the problem persists.
It lags so much that when I try to type 'this' it register as 'tsih' or something else
You can either try flashing miui beta, or wait for the next stable update (coming soon) which claims to fix some issues.
As the phone is new for you, it might take some time to get used to the touchscreen response etc.
I had the same problem in the beginning. However I've accustomed to it. Don't get me wrong, the touch panel is definitely the culprit, it's just not as good as some other phones.
Edit: If you go the custom rom route, most roms have updated touchscreen drivers compared to the stable ROM.
install latest global beta. touch drivers were improved.
but the problem won't be fully solved, just mitigated.

AFAIK, installing through updater will format everything (even your internal storage). Other way needs unlocked bootloader, and doing that will wipe everything anyway.
I'd say wait for a few days and check the upcoming stable.

yeah I really regret buying this phone, I never knew that people got this touch issues :crying:
mi 8 has one cons for me, no headphone jack, but if I knew this, I wouldn't have mind that at all.
I guess I'll just flash some custom rom and try which one has the best touch, I'm not patient enough to wait this out
the only time I had touch issues was when I had a protective glass on the display.
It is fine with display foils but not those "9H superduper strong tempered glass protectors". Double tap to work was hardly working, gestures annoying and typing missing out on characters. Though it looks like you have something else. It just lags and doesn't leave out / skip letters as far as I understood.
On latest open beta, the touch issue still persists. But it only happens when typing on the very edge of the screen. Only then it will register the touch with a small, but noticable delay. (and I'm quite sure it's a software/firmware issue.)
But else, I think the screen is responsive enough for fast typing and playing too.
It is not that awful right now.
Edit:
Proof that some software issue is present:
I recorded the screen with touch overlay while typing on the edge.
Pay attention at the letter popup, as well at the blue cross (touch overlay)
- in the middle of the screen, both popup at exact same time, they are in sync if you will.
- at the Edge, letter pops up with some delay AFTER the blue cross already proofs touch register.
This however was recorded on an older MIUI version.

When typing slowly, I also found no problem, but when I type fast, sometimes the first input will be registered after 3rd or 4th input :silly:
Franco kernel reduces this issue almost by 60-70%
Mind if I chime in with another touchscreen issue?
While I haven't experienced any typing lag, I do experience the occasional touchscreen freeze. I'd be doing something and all of a sudden, the screen just doesn't respond to touches at all.
I'd have to lock and unlock my screen for it to work again (sometimes). Adding a tempered glass protector helped a bit (before that, 50% of the time it was because oil and sweat from my fingers would get stuck), but the problem still persists.
Does anyone else have such issues?
