Touch sensitivity dropped on FP4
- /e/ version: 1.16-s-20231017342507-stable-FP4
- Device model(s): FP4
- Developer mode enabled: no
- Device rooted: no
- Trackers blocker enabled: yes
Summary
Since /e/ OS 1.14 I recognize a loss of touch sensitivity on Fairphone 4. I use a screen protector which previously worked well. Now I have to press extra hard so a touch is detected.
Note: I am not 100% sure about the /e/ OS version this behavior was introduced in, but I think it correlated with the firmware upgrade FP4.SP2G.B.079.20230624, which would be 1.14.
The problem
Steps to reproduce
Try touching the screen as softly as possible.
What is the current behavior?
No touch is detected.
What is the expected correct behavior?
Touch is detected.
Technical informations
Relevant logs (adb logcat
)
Can provide when necessary.
Solutions
Workaround
Press harder than usually. I have to note that the device is still usable with thumbs (they somehow have better capacitive properties, I guess). But touches with fingertips have to be done harder.
Possible fixes
Investigate the changes introduced with the firmware update FP4.SP2G.B.079.20230624. Some defaults might have changed.
