So after fully setting up with all my apps, I find that the swiping is a bit crappy. The nav gestures doesn't seem to be that responsive. Even when typing using Fleksy, swiping to space works 7 times out of 10.
Does anybody else have this experience? Should I just rip off the screen protector?
touch / swiping works fine, no issues here

The screen protector is fine, among the best I've ever seen and I'm thankful for buying a phone that doesn't make me rush to buy a tempered glass and a case.
The problem is that Xiaomi won't let you set the sensitivity of the nav gestures and they only work on the bottom part of the phone, so you can't swipe to back anywhere on the screen, only the lower parts. As to why they don't let us tweak that is beyond me.
Yeah, I've already reached out to the Fleksy devs and just have to play around with their sensitivity.
The other thing about nav gestures is I just have learned how sensitive (or not) the side gestures and bottom gesture area.
Would prefer if I can tweak the sides to be a bit more sensitive and the bottom less, but ehh have to live with it I guess.
And yeah, after how ever long it was since I posted this, have to agree that the screen protector is quite good.
The quality of the screen protector itself is utter garbage, I agree. It's plasticky, picks up smudges and skin grease very easily up to the point it becomes difficult to use the phone in direct sunlight if the screen brightness isn't high enough.
But as for swiping... I haven't noticed too much, I find it even better and more responsive than my previous phone (Realme 6).
Does a bare screen without any protector feel/look better in any significant way?

Without the protector the screen feel sticky... Not a smooth swipe especially when your finger a bit wet...

Hi all,
It seems to me that the edge of the lcd screen is not responsive (both left and right) at times when I put it inside a leather case(similar to theM1 case). If I take it out of the case, it's very responsive.
Does anyone notice the same problem?
Thanks.
I've brought that up before. Out of the case the screen is very responsive all over. In a case it's much less responsive around the edges. If you use the screen calibration apk it helps a little, and I find you get a better response around the edges using your thumb than pointer.
I don't know of any real solution, or what causes it.

glad to know i am not the only one with the problem.
My guess is that the case must touch the tablet somewhere that confuses the touch sensor.
mine did this for a little while and then just went away. the calibration didn't help and reloading the ROM didn't either.

Can you try to remember what you could have done to make it go away? Changed or modified the case in anyway?
It's so annoying.
It seems as if the G-Tablet's touch sensor is EXTREMELY sensitive. It even detected my headphone wire touching it. I knew this because when I would touch it at the same time the wire was on it, it would start spazzing out. Remove the wire, effect gone. Be happy that this thing is ultrasensitive. Could be worse, could be a resistive touchscreen.
its not possible it is a capcitative touch screen. I am experiencing the same problem I think it has do with part of our finger is on the case and not on the screen. If i press on it and roll it side to side a bit it will pick up my touch
I have found that using live wallpapers reduces the responsiveness of the touch screen especially around the edges.
Base on my experience with these device in the past, all the live wallpaper does is eat up your cpu horsepower. You want your device to operate at its optimum, yes? Just use a regular wallpaper. Kill all non-essential tasks.
Unfortunately I don't have any productive advice but I can tell you that I bought the p4 case off of steve (great website fast shipping) and a capacitive stylus. Like you described it was totally unresponsive toward the edges. I tried the calibration app and no significant success. After a couple of days use it started registering the touches consistently.
Is there any way of increasing touch sensitivity? Also do you feel the sensitivity of screen increases when held in hand?

I don't have any problems with the touch, and I, especially being a hardcore word game lover (ruzzle, wordament), swipe a lot, and I believe it's smooth enough. There must be some way, and requiring root..
I think you should change your screen protector. Cause i change it, it smooth scrolling
I use gross screen protector :good:

I use ultra slim screen protector and it feels smooth as before when it was without screen protector. however, I was using another screen protector before and I had problems swiping !

Hi,
Just got this phone and I can't be 100% if it has a screen protector fitted to it already or it is one of the normal in box protectors just a bit thicker.
I don't really like it to be honest - I normally don't use screen protectors so wonder if someone removed it from theirs and how it is.
Thanks

It's a factory installed screen protector.. If I'm not mistaken, most honor phones come with one installed.. Like the 7x as well.. Up to you if you want to remove it..

Cheers, that's what I suspected..
The screen feels too resistant and a bit like an old tactile touch screen instead of a smooth 2018 screen with it on.
. I'll try it for a few days before I decide to take it off or not.

If you're on the latest 130 firmware version, touch sensitivity has gone down from the factory 100 version. It might not be the SP fault for low sensitivity..

I have removed it. It feels poly film type and not confident that it will provide any protection. Instead I bought teslar 3D screen guard and it worked well

Without the poly film screen is better. In fact with poly film the touches were sometimes not working and was not that smooth. For better experience you should remove it and use the phone or use any screen protector. Honor can ship something better in future.
The back cover is fine though and looks good with phone
On my phone the screen protector is not applied properly. It is at a slight angle so there is a small gap on the top half between the protector and the edge of the screen. That makes a sliver of brighter screen; it looks a bit weird.
I've just noticed how dirty this screen protector gets. It seems to catch fingerprints into a dull grey film and it doesn't wipe easily. I will have to remove the thing.

I removed mine and i tell u the screen is much better without it. The original screen does not keep finger prints, it gradually fades away.
I think I just ran into my first real problem with the phone. I got a glass screen protector on Amazon, and it absolutely refuses to recognize my fingerprint with the glass on it. The error just keeps telling me to press harder. I never had any issue before without one on.
Took the screen protector off, and now it's back to normal.
I have each thumb trained twice, so recognition shouldn't be a problem at all. I think it's just too thick and it isn't sensing enough pressure to register the fingerprint.
Anyone find a good screen protector that works with fingerprint? I may have to go with a plastic one that won't be as thick as glass.

This is disappointing. When I first looked into this, I found someone claiming to have tested the Oneplus 6T fingerprint sensor with 3 screen protectors on top of each other. I concluded it was not an issue. But now I am seeing plently or articles suggesting that it depends. E.g. "Vivo did mention that only screen protectors of a certain thickness will work with the sensor". I wonder if Nokia will offer or recommend a screen protector.
Also, I don't know if Nokia are using the same sensor as Oneplus, but this is interesting: "[when registering] make sure your environment is not too bright. If possible, you should register a fingerprint in a completely dark environment."
Edit, also spotted this: "We also recommend re-registering your fingerprint every time you add or remove a screen protector."
So as an update, I applied the second screen protector that came in the 2-pack. Removed all of my fingerprints that were stored, and tried to setup new prints.
Took me about 200 tries to get my right thumb registered (not exaggerating), but I couldn't get it to actually read when trying to activate it.
Couldn't get my left thumb to register at all. Just kept saying to press harder. I was pressing so hard I thought I'd break the screen if I pushed harder.
Tried in bright light, as well as a completely dark room. Didn't change the ability for it to register at all.
So overall for this phone, I'm going to say glass screen protectors won't reliably work with the fingerprint scanner. I've ordered a plastic screen protector. Going to try that out, as I'm pretty sure it will work.
I imagine the thickness of glass is the culprit here, due to how the fingerprint sensor works even without a screen protector applied. It seems more difficult to activate than other in-display readers (I have 3 others with in-display readers and they're all incredibly easy to use).
Fingerprint issues aside, I normally go for glass screen protectors because the plastic ones tend to cause more drag when using the phone.
I have generally seen two models. One which is clear and another which has a black border, both with cutouts for sensors, cameras and speakers.
I'm unable to add a link as I'm new to the forums but both examples can be seen on Amazon by searching 'GEEMEE 9h nokia 9 pureview'
Has anyone bought these or similar protectors?
I am interested to know if the black border one covers any part of the screen. I think it looks better on the pictures but in real life I'm not sure how it would look.
I got the Mr.Shield 9h glass and it works fine. The issue with the fingerprint is a software issue. The warning to press harder is not correct. I've verified that the reader will read with normal to light pressure. Hopefully they will release an update that fixes it within the next couple months.

I just got the screen protector with the black borders, and it doesn't cover any part of the screen. I think it looks good. But I was a bit sloppy when I applied it and one of the corners has an air bubble which I can't get rid of.
But since I applied it, the fingerprint scanner is causing me problems. It has problems recognizing my prints

I ended up going for a clear one tempered glass protector. I have a couple of tiny bubbles which was just me rushing as I was excited.
The finger print sensor works fine as long as I get my finger in the correct place but that is a challenge. My thumb is more difficult but still possible. It hasn't been a massive burden though because I have been using face and trusted bluetooth device to good effect.
Hi all.
Sorry my first post on reddit so hoping it is correct
Im thinking about buying the Oneplus 7T pro Mclarn. But I have read some posts about the round edges on the screen.
Are you tired of it?
Thanks!
Regards Daniel
Nope
No. They don't bother me even after ~3 months of use. Wouldn't mind them even when the time comes for a replacement. But I'd prefer a flat normal display if it was offered.
No.
No.
I was very annoyed by the rounded edges on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge but I barely notice the edges on the OnePlus 7 Pro.
I thought they were going to annoy me initially but to be honest, I don't even notice them anymore.
Nope
Haven't even noticed after a few months...
I consider myself round edges hater. It's just stupit. I wish the screen was normal.
That being said, the display is just too good... I'm unable to get annoyed by the round edges when everything else is just so good.
My main problem with the edges is the issues finding a working screen protector. Whitestone dome was tend to break on Pixel 2 XL even if i treated the phone very carefully.
I was sure OP7's rounded edges will cause problems, but luckily enough, Whitestone dome glass on this phone holds fantastic. No flaws whatsoever!
YES ! It's horrible! And the phone has round corners too ! That it's ugly too.
Yes and I find it pointless. Just as pointless as curved screens.

Yeah I'd be happy to see this trend go away and return to 16:9 display where all content scales correctly.
I'm Happy with edge to edge screen. NO to curved screen. Also a smaller phone/screen. Trend it's going to 7" screen. That's to much! Phone do not fit in any pocket.
A LED, like a thin line, on one side or both sides to signal notification, ..
Maybe to implement the new model of battery which it will be smaller and light weight.
I hate the rounded corner and edges. I'm going to get the 7T when they get TWRP working for it.
I love it, it gives a much smoother feeling. I reached the point , that I'm even looking for rounded corners in the apps, but unfortunately there's no always choice. Firefox, dialer, contacts.., etc look so "not matching" with the phone, with the sharp corners. I wish I could be able to make my own apps and rom too
I also thought at the first time, that it's not nice, like an old tv, that had this rounded corners and I was afraid that it gives that oldschool feeling, but I was wrong, saying after few months.
Didn't take long before I ordered a rear case. Found it uncomfortable without.
I think it makes large phones feel smaller and elegant
So no, I like it
I'm good with it, good thing as I'll hang on to it for a while
Personally not a fan of the rounded edges, but I'm fine with it relative to damned notches. I refuse to buy any phone with a notch and am glad to see that trend generally leaving.
Sad to see hole punches sticking around and made the choice to get the 7T Pro much easier (than waiting for the hole smacked 8).
Yes, I'm not a fan at all, it interferes with the way I like to hold the phone. I got used to them and now only sporadically I have issues with accidental touches etc., but I would prefer them to go away.
Definitely no longer a dealbreaker, because I love the phone otherwise, but annoyance nonetheless.
