Anyone have a fix for this? It works about 5 times out of 10, very frustrating.
Is power management active? Just a guess.
It seems to be a common Sony problem.
Maybe it's just technique, see link.
I'd kill if I didn't have 2X tap on/off... it's so useful.
I also use the the Double Tap app on my N10+'s.
May not work on 11 and 12.

works here just fine. Would not say 100% but it has more to do with my inconsistent tapping than with the device. Was the same on XZ2.
Thank you for this.

It needs permission in Setting>Accessibility>Installed Services.
See if the option is there. Gookill has made a mess of Android.
I would like to use it but there is issue eith it. Often it gets double tapped in my pocket and random things is touched sometimes im calling to someone from my pocket. By the way block random touch in pocket feature is turned on.

Not sure with Sony, Samsung's have a couple features to mitigate this.
Place with display facing away from your skin.
Place in pocket by the sides not the display.
Use a case with slightly raised guards on the sides.
non of that will help. I can confirm this. Also, the same was happening on my XZ2. I would fine the phone warm just to realize that it did who knows what.
What helped in my case was pattern lock. But that greatly ruined my experience because I usually don't use any locks on my devices. On mark IV i can't get my music player to be always present on lock screen, only if it is playing, which was the main reason why I used that, turned that off. AOD as such is ggod enough option for me.

The display will not activate unless touched, it's that simple. Dry cloth has no effect.
but many other things that get in contact through the cloth have. Zippers, keys, hands, wet cloths, poles in public transport........Yeah. it should not be happening but it did happened waaaaaay to many times to be just a coincidence.

You need to sort it out. This isn't rocket science.
Water should never come in contact with the phone even if ip68 rated.I keep the N10+ in my bdu pant thigh cargo pocket by itself facing outward. Sometimes vest pocket.
It also is in a Zizo Bolt case. I have little accidental turn ons.
Been using it like this for 3 years.
Samsung's have a system app that help block accidental touches if it senses random hits it requires a swipe to turn on the display. There may be a similar app on Playstore.
so does have a SONY. And it is not something that happens 37x per day but it happened enough times on XZ2 and a few times on 1 IV to make me realize that it can happen.
yup. turned off accidental touch in pocket setting to see if it helps

Happens occasionally to me but it's always my fault when or how I place it in my pocket. In 3 years of heavy usage the accidental turn on's never caused any system or app damage. Cargo pockets are ideal, I use bdu's with button closure; the rearward one buttoned, the forward one unbuttoned. It never falls out even when running.
Easy to access and a relatively safe storage area.
A well designed case helps a lot with this issue especially with curved displays. They case should have side guards slightly higher than the display, end guards even higher. Helps prevent damage in face plant drops too.
Double tap works fine for me I've had my phone for a week now.

Even better, maybe a quick thinking manufacturer will offer pre-drilled extra Batt covers, and while at it, why not a made of metal one, to beautify the HD a bit ore and increase it's metal ingredient factor..
I don't have the heart to drill mine, but would probably purchase a pre-drilled extra from a dependable source.

I would also purchase a pre-drilled metal batterycover!
I don't know what you guys do with your devices, but I have always been able to perform a soft reset without removing the battery cover, either using a normal soft reset app or by pressing the on-off button at the top. I rather like the idea the reset button is covered like that. Keeps the dust off my device
How about performing a hardreset when you are a flash-aholic?
Yea you don't need to use the soft-reset key, use a app the hdtweaks have one.

David, "soft SR" works only in certain cases. When your device gets stuck due to, say, "hard working" with it (v.s. "normal phone" use profile) you can't use either a Soft SR solution, or the Long Press Power Button, because, well, the device is stuck..
If you push any device to its limit, it may get stuck in a way only a mechanical SR can do with. Then taking off/on the cover is not only a burden, I believe that after as many times of doing this the cover studs will break.
Has nothing to do in particular with re-flashing. I test s/w. Some are causing strange effects. S/R is a gift in such circumstances. Just another tool and not a curse.

a custom cover would be great also for the dual sim solutions since there seems to be no space for this in the touch HD :/

For dual-sim cards see this post. Of course, you have to cut the card to use that style adapter. But, since we are talking about drilling holes in the HD cover, then why not talk about cutting sim cards.

Shouldn't be such a big thing, what is most important is to drill exactly in the right place, it takes a lot of care doing the measurments.

That's what I mean. You better not make any mistakes when taking the measurements. And when drilling, I assume you should not allow any gaps between the cover and whatever you are using as support on the other end or else you might run the risk of cracking the cover (of course depending on how hard you press - better let the drill bit do most of the job).
So, should you drill starting on the outside or on the inside part of the cover? Which one would make the hole look nicer from the outside?
Definitely start from the outside.
A metal cover would be interesting but surely it would screw up the aerial reception/transmission ???
i can't believe no-one has come out with a battery cover with a reset hole and an sd slot yet - seems like a no brainer to me!
Drilled my cover with 1,5 mm hole already some weeks ago. Make a 1mm hole first! Of course you have to be very exactly when measuring. Dont need to be afraid that cover will crack, its enough elastic.
No dirt visible inside until now. (there is almost no gap between cover and red softreset button).
Just a question one and all...
Why not use my Soft Reset app?
It's on the WIKI.. and on my Singh's Tings thread...
It adds an icon in the programs\system and in Settings too.
no prompt.. just FDI!

...even when you flash from an SD card ?
.......
My proximity sensor seems to be working maybe 30 percent of the time, it was mentioned that doing a full reset of the device fixed the problem for someone else. I am curious if anyone else having issues or just want to test their own could do these steps:
Troubleshoot:
On your phone open the dialer, like you are going to dial the phone number of a friend. Instead dial *#*#3424#*#* (*#*#DIAG#*#*). It will take you to the HTC Function test application. On the white screen, press accept and look for a "P-Sensor" test. Press the item and hit run and it will take you through a test of the sensor. This will help you further determine if there is an issue or not.
Edit: not using a screen protector and screen is clean.
Mines just fine, no screen protector.
Edit: I can have my hand about 3 inches away before it stops.
Just tried to do a factory reset on mine, guess im going to have to return it..however the hell I'm supposed to do that I have no idea...

Mine's like this too but I may just keep it.
I seem to have issues with past phones proximity sensors... being too close meant the screen would come on and i'd push buttons/mute/hang up on the other person all of the time. I'd have to intentionally hold the phone a little ways from my ear so the screen stays off.
And that's just stupid. I don't mind having to hit the power button to hang up the call. I'd say mine only works 1/25 times. Usually the screen just stays dark constantly.
No screen protector, clean screen.
Mine's same way, if I'm on a call the phone looks dead. I have to hit power to get it on to end the call or interact with it.
I have a replacement coming from telesales, hope it fixes it. Is there anyone who has one that works perfect? lol

Did they give you a timetable on when it would be shipped? I tried calling today regarding my borked Google Wallet and they authorized a new device but the order support department is closed and they are suppose to call me back tomorrow.
In playing with the diagnostic mode I don't believe these phones even have a proximity sensor. I think its relying 100% on the light sensor. try it... the phone screen won't turn on automatically when its not very bright out.
I only see one hole in the face of the phone and I assume that's the light sensor.

i thought that was by design... the proximity sensor IS the light sensor, that controls auto-brightness, and if its doing like a call, if light is dark, it goes off. (saves money, real estate, and battery, only one sensor instead of 2)
That was also why if you press it up to your face too fast, screen stays on and buttons press. if you smash it on your face, the screen light reflects off your face enough to trigger the sensor to think its still 'bright' out. you have to semi-deliberately, (means:slower-ly) raise the phone to your ear so there's the second of darkness before the screen light starts bouncing off your face strong enough to trigger it.
p.s. - this is also more of a wpp
Mine turns off and on based upon how much natural light it sees. In a well lit room without sunlight, it does not turn off. In sunlight, you can turn it off and on by moving it away from the sunlight.
If you have the phone in a call, I can see a small red light next to the proximity sensor. If not in a call, the light is not turned on.
I am not please with how this works. I can't see the dial pad without pressing the power button inside.
I'm hoping that this is something that can be fixed without replacing the hardware.

That's funny if it's true. Ha ha. So if you bring the handset up to your ear at a typical rate (like most everyone does), the sensor wont turn the screen off? Brilliant.
So I guess lighter skinned people have this issue more than dark skinned people? Great design.
I am having major issues with this now. It has steadily got worse each day. I see the little red light come on right next to the sensor when I make a phone call and it messes up. It will not go away unless I restart or shutdown the phone, and as soon as I make another phone call the red light is back on. I don't know what the issue is but it's getting annoying. I have the HD screen protector but it seems to be placed right and not blocking the sensor so I don't think that has anything to do with it.
I would love to know if it is a software issue and if it can be fixed.

And? If that's the proximity sensor, please tell me where the light sensor is.
I just noticed the small red light when in a call - but it doesn't seem to make a difference. My phone only turns the screen on when exposed to pretty much direct sunlight.
In my apartment or pretty much any place indoors without overhead lighting the screen just stays off during calls.
I'll have to watch the light now too though. Looks like it doesn't always turn off when ending a call.
Does anybody thats having the proximity issue also have the glass slightly raised on the same corner as the sensor? I think this is directly related, mine is slightly raised and if I push it down flush my proximity works perfectly. Somebody else please try and mayb it is a hardware issue afterall.

Yes but good call.
Mine is only BARELY lifted in that corner. If I push down hard, the sensor functions as normal.
Just like my E3D I'll probably keep this flaw in my back pocket per se till I feel like getting the phone replaced for a scratch or something.
Im gonna wait a couple weeks and get it replaced, its too annoying lol

Hello All,
I tried to search a little bit before posting my question, but did not find anything related, so am starting this thread, I had my Z2 for about 2 weeks now, and I got an idea today to make a water resistence test, just to make sure everything is fine in case it happened after that by accident, so I did it and I put my phone in a bowl full of water, And I had negative results, the screen kept taking actions without me doing it, I mean opening apps, entering in menus, scrolling, all of that without my hand being on the screen, when I pulled my phone out, it kept misbehaving untill I dried all the water from the screen, even when made my hand only wet and tried to deal with the phone,, it kept opening apps randomly and touching areas in the screen automatically , does anyone had this problem ?? is it the normal action with the Z2 , or i must go to see the retailer ??
Thanks a lot.
That's normal. It is what would happen to any capacitive screen with water droplets on. Any droplet can act as a finger touch

Try turning off the glove feature. Its in the settings, it makes the screen more sensitive so you can use it with gloves.

This touchscreen is more sensitive than others. It is also much thinner.
You should only use the phone when it is dry.
Its a waterproof phone i can use it underwater supposedly which i cant do right now.. Am not even requesting to tap the screen underwater .. Am just requesting that this screen does not misbehave while underwater or even with droplets on it.

To be honest, the only thing you can do underwater with the device is take a picture with the camera or record a video using the camera shutter button. The device won't even overheat much -_-

Most of this is limitations with the HW/chipset afaik. But I haven't tried any custom roms.
I'd say it's a cheap phone that offers solid value. I actually like the P9000 a lot, but my expectations were never high. It does the job for me.

alright thanks, i bought this phone but theres just one more thing i would like to know? when receiving a call is the sound loud?
No, the sound while calling is pretty good and not to loud.
Three fingerprint scanner is working good if you use a case (so your finger is in the middle of the scanner) and you scan your finger multiple times while setting it up.
The only big downside is navigation. Is you use Google Maps the GPS is causing you to warp from street to street. Often some back alley due to bad GPS reception.

I just had it in my pocket while sitting down. It feels like having an iPhone 6, but way worse. So I will replace the phone soon.
Which Display Typ is in your Phone ? The original LCM 13752A or a TDOBD0546 - Version
*#*#33#*#* - Single Test - RF Calibration - LCM ??
kaisims - Re your bent phone, why do you keep it in a pocket where this is GOING to happen or at least stress it beyond reasonable tolerance when sat on? Trouser and jacket pockets pockets are notorious for damaging phones and/or dropping them onto the floor. I would not blame the phone too much
I have never had any of the problems with my P9000 (factory with factory updates) that you have experienced, so far for me, it is a great phone.
Elephone P9000 and Elephone P8000 are great phones, I am using both of them.
No any issues so far.
Hi all,
Anyone having much luck with the finger print reader? Setting it up works like a charm but actually unlocking the devices 9 out of 10 times! End up having to enter the PIN instead. Just keeps saying that it's not recognised. I've tried a few fingers but really it would only be my thumbs that use it, even deleted them all and started again. I do have a Spigen screen protector on but I have that on when setting them up in the first place which like I said works OK.
Thanks

Just keeps saying that it's not recognised. I've tried a few fingers but really it would only be my thumbs that use it, even deleted them all and started again. I do have a Spigen screen protector on but I have that on when setting them up in the first place which like I said works OK.
Thanks

I've seen it recommended on other devices to add the same fingerprint several times (instead of fingers 1 + 2 + 3 just add the same finger/thumb for both), might be worth a try here too?

I didn't find it too bad to start with. If anything better than my P30 Pro which also has an under screen sensor. Since putting a screen protector on (also Spigen glass) its become unusable at you describe

I've added the same thumb 3 times now, may be a little better, not sure though! I'll add it some more later

Urgh, that's not a good sign. It was strange that setting it work OK
There's also a screen sensitivity setting to increase sensitivity when using a screen protector (can't remember where I found that) sadly it didn't improve things. I'll try the multiple same finger enrollment and let you know if that improves thinks for me

Right, I've turned that sensitivity thing on and added the same thumb 4 times (you can only add 5 fingers) and whilst it's not perfect it does seem better, probably works 3 out of 5 tries now.

It seemed to improve things for me ONCE. Then back to really not working at all. Grrr
It's even worse when trying to use your finger to unlock apps like WhatsApp.
I'm close to pulling it off
I changed the thread title as I took the screen protector off and it works perfectly. Contacted Spigen so hopefully they'll come back to me
I think the FPS is not great even without a screen protector. I am very disappoined, it all feels very 2018.
Hoping (but not confident) it can improve with software updates.

It's a known problem that screen protectors make life with an optical fingerprint scanner troublesome. There is a reason why many of us Pixel fans were stoked and happy that Google went with a decent 3D Facescan like Apple on the P4, a system that just works and one that is actually reliable. It never shut down on me, even though I had to clear the topside portion probably ~10 times in 2 years because it had trouble scanning me (because of dirt on the screen). Only "real" problem are... masks of course. Faceunlock and masks don't go well. That is why...
Imagine the Pixel 6 with face unlock AND a back-side fingerprint scanner.
That would be my dream.
It will probably remain a dream.
I've got the same problem, but my right thumb works perfectly every time. My left thumb just refuses to unlock the phone.
Guess right thumb it is...
Edit: Actually, mine seems to have settled down and now works with both thumbs equally well.
With or without glass screenprotector @Biggenz?

Mine will be coming in soon (Nov.10). I was wondering if anyone here has used the Oneplus 6T. I used to have that phone and for me the fp scanner was pretty reliable and quick enough, even with screen protectors. Only time there were issues was before rom developers had came up with better way of implementing it n custom roms, but after the new implementation it became faster than stock was on that phone. I also remember changing the color of the light had an effect on how well it read my finger. Green light was best, white was second best and the blue light was last in my usage.

I have the 6T and am getting my pixel 6 tomorrow (10/28). I'm curious to see the difference. I remember those initial issues in custom rom development.
Add your fingerprint twice. Pretty sure I read that resolved issues elsewhere as with previous Android phones.

I have the same build number and it does not work with screen protectors (at least the one I had). It only reads partial prints and then I have to use the pin.
