Edge Sense Glitches?

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this or not:

During initial setup, I chose the minimum edge sense force, because it still seemed to take a pretty good squeeze.

Yesterday, at one point, the sensitivity went off the charts. It took maybe 1/10th the normal force to activate it. I think the phone was pretty hot from being outside and shooting some 4k video.

The other thing I see happen seems lag related. The short squeeze to launch camera works very fast most times. But on occasion, it takes a while to get the camera up and running. Once or twice, the lag has made a short squeeze register as a long one.

Also, it seems odd to me that a long squeeze to launch Google assistant (screen off) gets trapped at the lock screen and requires a fingerprint scan / pin. Not very convenient.

I'm keeping it on. Hopefully, they will improve it. It's very useful in my eyes.

It's a little handier turning on flashlight at night by just squeezing rather than turning on phone, pulling down notification bar, and selecting the light. I find it useful.

Even after bumping up the force level, my ability to launch the camera from a sleeping phone is hit or miss.

Quite often I'm giving it a short press, but it doesn't register the release. I feel it vibrate the second time, indicating a long press, but then it prompts to release the edge sense to take action.

Could be an issue with how he phone handles waking up from Doze...

Where should we report things like this in hopes of them being fixed? Does HTC have a dev site?
