[HOW TO] Increase touch sensitivity and Double-Tap-To-Wake Functionality(Force Touch)

[xgerryx]

First of all, thanks to @xtermmin for pointing me in the right direction for this.

Steps to increase touch sensitivity and get DTTW functioning better:

Download Shortcut Master Lite
Hit the ellipsis at the top right and click App Explorer (Yes to the error)
Tap anywhere to get the loading circle to go away and find something called Force Touch
In the Force Touch menu, select ZteLCDPressureSettings and hit Launch
Here you will find some options.
Tap Pressure Sensitivity and move the red dot slider all the way to the left where the green "Light" is.
Back out of the menu and you are done.

There are some other things under features that may be of interest as well to some people.

Additionally, there are a couple other items in the Force Touch menu that could play a role in ROMs down the line. The "Press Image" option has a toggle within that item but it does not stick upon backing out and reentering the menu.

If you find anything else of interest, please let everyone know so we can make this the best phone we've ever owned.

Thanks!

This definitely helped! Kinda odd that there is a slight delay from when you double tap and when it actually wakes. I remember the LG G2 responding more quickly with this feature. Also miss the double tap to lock screen too that almost no other phone had (though with nova launcher and an app, you can do this). Regardless, I'm glad the functionality is there.

What's interesting about this little hack is that it clearly is using the force touch settings that will be found in the 6GB RAM model that has a force touch display. Funny how it remains in the ROM anyway, just tucked away since this model doesn't use force touch.

Can I remove the vibration when I use the double tap to wake?

 

[xxBrun0xx]

This has made 0 difference for me. I've got a 64gb US variant. I've also noticed double tap to wake stops working when the phone is in Doze. Anyone else have this issue?

 

[nathasnajperowa]

Same same with doze, but when my phone isn't deeply asleep this tip indeed increased touch sensitivity.

Did you know this app is also present on the a2017u usa version?
But it is not doing anything...

Is there a setting to disable the vibration with double tap to wake?

 

[paatha13]

I've tried the mod but don't see any differences for better response for the double tap to wake.

I don't have anything like force touch in quick shortmaster app or shortcut master lite. I'm on european B03 update... Can anyone confirm this?

It's actually there as been always and with B02 software version.
Do hard reset if not see it
Something get wrong with upgrade in your case.

Don't have vibration with double tap.
How did you get it

It's there by default on the US model, at least.

While this definitely improves DT2W functionality, it's still temperamental. I find that now it responds best to very light touches, but harder taps are ignored. If I tweak it to be less sensitive, it does exactly that: it requires a harder touch at all times. Why can't it just respond to a range of touches? My G3 worked just fine in this regard.

Totally agree with this. It's still very inconsistent, but mine does work if I slam it twice as well as tap it lightly twice. It doesnt always work and it's still delayed. This was sort of a bandaid for a bigger problem though. I hope CM, and ....probably nothing else? at this point...can address it further.

At EU version I don't see any option for vibration so far.
But totally agree I would like to be more response to a range of touch.
I remember when had LG flex 2 was better implementation than ZTE.

Hope future update improve that.

Quite honestly, the Axon 7's story is perpetually: "[insert company here] did a better job of implementing [insert feature here]". There is very little (if anything) that the Axon 7 does better than the big manufacturers, IMO. It does a passable (sometimes even decent) job of most things, though - and at an appreciable discount - which is why I still have mine. It's a budget flagship. It's high-trim Toyota versus a Lexus. Add to that the potential for improvements via software (which is the source of many of my complaints, really), and I think it's a solid buy with quirks I'm willing to live with for a little while as ZTE steps up and makes improvements.

 

[paatha13]

Yep exactly from hardware point is very very capable device but from software although it's pretty good level but there's still staff for many improvements.

Axon 7 is my first Chinese smartphone from Chinese company until now and I'm quite pleased with the all package offering having it 5-6 days,but I would like to see from ZTE much more effort and listening the user base and bring as much improvement and tweaks to the software.

I already did factory reset. And then again . No such setting in quickshortmaker. I can post pics.. Weird...

Edit..
Did change language to English and found it ?

 

[jayb222]

I notice no difference in the week that I used this tweak. So I just put this settings back. Yup, still no difference to me.
