Touch Sensitivity? or Multi Touch Issues?

[dmo580]

I setup my OPO to use the exact same keyboard as i did on my Nexus 4, Nexus 5, and any other Android device. I use Kii Keyboard. I even resized the keys to be the same size as on my N5 because as you know, as screen size grows, so do the keys.

But I find it very often that when I speed type, the phone seems to miss a letter in between my words. I don't feel like my typing style has changed because when I pick up my N5 I can type normally and the keyboard picks it all up.

I'm wondering if this has to do with touch sensitivity or maybe something with the multitouch is messing up?

What do you guys notice with typing? I seem to type just as horribly on the Google Keyboard. The key is that on my N5, it seems to register every keypress.

@dmo580 I'm having the exact same issue. If its not just me we should put a bug report in at the jira... I have to turn swiping mode off otherwise the screen can't distinguish between 2 touches close together and calls it a swipe. But then with it turned off it can't distinguish between 2 touches still so just misses one.

I'll post it on the jira bug tracker later. Make sure you go and vote it up.

Also noticed here guys. That's a relative problem for me since I use SwiftKey with Swipe feature, but the few times I try to write without swipe it's really annoying. Hoping it's not an hardware issue

Go and vote it up and add your own comments. They really need to look into it.

After about 20 minutes of testing, I can confirm that has mitigated (if not completely eliminated) the keyboard issues we were having.
EDIT: Full credit for the below steps go to Xavier (above). I only simplified it for people who want to try themselves.
From Phone:
1. Install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...roidterm&hl=en
2. Open, type "su". Ensure it says [email protected] or something like that.
3. Paste this command in: cat /sys/class/input/input0/baseline_test
4. Press enter.
5. Should be done, no need to reboot.
From Computer:
1. Plug phone in, enable debugging.
2. sudo adb shell (if linux, don't know about Windows)
3. cd /sys/class/input/input0
4. cat baseline_test
It's worth noting that I did not have any "errors" when I ran this. Xavier did.
This could be what we were hoping for, but I'm still cautious. Excellent work digging around, Xavier.

Just tried it and it works SwiftKey is a lot more accurate and doesn't accidently flow.

I'm Harsha K, it seems you beat me to these threads

Accidental Flow (Ha, that just sounds hilarious in my head) still happens from time to time for me, but much, much less often. If you don't use Flow, you can just turn it off, and your touch typing experience will be once again perfect.

I actually saw the fix for it first on reddit and didn't see any mentions of it on XDA.
For me, I tend to usually have flow enabled... it really depends on the situation, sometimes I prefer one hand use and sometimes I'll prefer typing with two hands so its nice to swap between the two.

Does this fix remain after a reboot or would you have to retype the command on every boot?

Hehe well thanks for finding out the culprit of the problem, I actually saw the fix for it first on reddit and didn't see any mentions of it on XDA.

Whoa, just want to correct you there before anyone gets the wrong idea; I didn't find the cultprit, Xavier did. I just turned them into easy-to-follow steps

According to Xavier on JIRA, this will not persist on reboots, and needs to be added to the init.d scripts you have. I'll ask franco if he'd be okay with doing that on his next release.

Oooh ooh right I'll go edit my post. Thanks for clarifying in regards to the reboot.

Permission denied. And from Linux system it says not found!

you need root.
also make sure to type 'su' first. :thumbup:

 

[Underslung]

That might temporarily fix it, but it's a hardware issue with your unit (I've got the same problem with mine).

You should RMA it (I'm going through this process atm).

 

[gershee]

made an init.d script for this wanted someone to make sure it alright, so I need to include su?
in /system/etc/init.d
filename is 00keyboardfix
paste this:
#!/system/bin/sh

cat /sys/class/input/input0/baseline_test
