SMS background: Sure, if you install the Olympic Theme it also won't work. It is a theme issue, respectively you are setting something the theme wont touch in a way this theme does not expect. Assume it is the font color at this point which should be left to black.

SOT: depends for 40-50% on the screen brightness, 20-30% on max CPU clock and the rest on constantly talking background apps accessing the internet. Oreo talks more. Your minimum version still is full of unnecessary stuff such as RootPA, AASAservice, Samsung PUSH, Allshare and the like.

Who needs Samsung Billing on a phone or Samsung Pay, which wont work anyway when Knox is tripped. The minimal version should get rid of all these gimmicks. You still can get them from APKmirror instead. Yes, debloating is a science for itself. You can use networkmonitor to see who is talking in the background, and 70% of those can be blocked by the firewall or even just deleted completely by Totalcommander search: never delete any file with extension .so or you may softbrick your device. Those files are checked for presence during boot.

I agree with you that a clean install may free up more memory: The cost of additional time to reinstall everything from backup may be worth it. In this case it makes no sense to restore application data. So all programs have to be set up from scratch.

Not sure if this is a show stopper to update in the future. And if you restore application data, there is not much difference to a dirty flash. The new system will not use old variables and data anyway, even if they are still there.

My device is Samsung galaxy s7 edge (SC-02H), which is a Japanese version and Docomo carrier unlocked. It is snapdragon model; single sim.

I want to flash custom rom and for that, I have rooted my device and installed TWRP. But I have failed to find any suitable custom rom for my device. Can I flash Trada custom rom to my device? Or can anyone suggest me that which custom rom can I flash to my device? Thanks in advance for the kind help.

Hello, yesterday I tried to use Netflix but I can't. The app gets stuck at the Netflix logo, and sometimes I get "Sorry, we could not reach the Netflix service (-9). I have tried everything (reinstalling, clearing data, rebooting...) but it keeps happening. Is this happening to anybody else? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels,] xmanz:
Im not 100 percent sure but the installer on this rom does the g9350. Which I use but there is a choice of g9300. Is that you model. This rom is for snap device..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels,] Rafqut Mehedin Tomo:
Yesterday I have flashed the rom. But it was unsuccessful. The phone couldn't boot up. Then I have to flash stock firmware via Odin. ☹️
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels,] xmanz:
So is your phone ? a g930 snap ? It does take upto 10 mins to install and boot

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels,] Rafqut Mehedin Tomo:
It was an experiment to find whether the ROM is flash-able to my SC-02H (Japanese Docomo Model) and I Failed. ;)

Then, I have flashed latest stock rom via Odin, then TWRP then Rooted it again. Now it is performing very good. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels,] werwer18:
Hi Hilary

The new CRH Hongkong version is out on Sammobile. Includes new security fixes. Will you include it into Trada?

This time I will make a clean install and see the difference (hopefully) ;)

Hello

When I try to update my status on Whatsapp with an image, the gallery opens, but shows only blank/black squares and not images.

I checked, the gallery app works fine.

This is on Galaxy Note 8 phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dekciw:
I thought it might be a sensitivity issue because I'm coming from a N6 where I barely touch the screen and it registers. I did some testing and turned on show visual feedback for taps in developer options and I started tapping on the screen in random places every 2 seconds and on average every 5th tap it didn't register and sometimes it's the second and I had issues sometimes where 3-4 taps in a row in different places wouldn't register. For me it's not isolated to certain parts of the screen like many people have found, for example only on edges.

My sample size isn't very much but I've figured out that the majority (or only UI elements because I haven't tested enough) tapping on or around UI elements such as toggle settings in the developer options, any app (swiping/scrolling in apps too) that this issue occurs. When I moved an app icon to create a new screen and started testing I never had any registration issues(visual feedback for taps and long pressing to bring up the wallpapers/widgets/home settings intermittently between taps)

So is this a hardware issue, software UI or maybe a mix of both? I don't know enough about touch screens and android. I don't want to RMA if it's software but I do if it's a hardware issue. Does anyone have any insight on this?

So I did a factory reset and it's working perfectly now. I don't know what was causing it but it's good to know it wasn't hardware
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
I have the same issue, fingers crossed the upcoming update will fix this.. Mostly its a software issue (or hoping so), but I've seen few complaining about this..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] worldsoutro:
I have the same issue. Its most likely a software issue that can be addressed through an update.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
Mine seems to come and go. Sometimes it's fine; sometimes I'm having the same issues you're describing.

I was thinking last night it seemed like every once in a while a double tap is required, after idling for a few seconds. This to me sounds like a driver issue that could be fixed.

Today however I'm thinking it might have something to do with cold dry fingers, as I was having it outside but it's totally fine now indoors.

Can't really put my finger on it yet. Gonna give it a few more days before I think about an RMA.

Any of you guys using SwiftKey beta?

edit: are you on 8.0 or the 8.1 preview?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Goatshaver:
Just got my xl today and I have this issue. It's just randomly around the screen and not in any specific area.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] smartymcfly:
I believe my phone is not recognizing vertical sliding if it is diagonal, versus the same diagonal slide on my 6p is recognized. Not sure why this is happening but I believe it is intentionally being done because if I touch same spot and closer to vertical up and down, it recognizes it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] chazall1:
I am using swiftkey Beta on 8.0 and all functioning great
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dekciw:
I don't know if this is related but I've been using accubattery and after I did a factory reset I didn't install it at first and everything was working great then I installed it and after awhile I noticed the issue come up again. I uninstalled it about an hour ago and did testing and the issue is gone.

I'm on 8.0

Issues came back even with accubattery uninstalled
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] robjective:
I have the same problem. When trying to scroll a web page in Chrome, I have to touch twice to get the touch to register. Also having trouble with the long presses.

I'm on 8.0

I have Swiftkey (not beta)

I do not have Accubattery

I'm having major issues with this all of the sudden today. Something isn't right. Ugh - one issue after another.

Sometimes, when trying to scroll a web page in Chrome beta, I have to touch twice to get the touch to register. Saw this on 8.0 and now on 8.1.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dekciw:
That's horrible. I opened my gboard in chrome and it doesn't do that for me but it will do that swiping/scrolling, randomly typing and with GUI elements sometimes. Multiple times in a row to where i have to just stop tapping and wait a second or two and tap again.

I'm going to try using the 8.1 dev preview to see what happens
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bajasur:
I'm having this issue too
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Neverendingxsin:
I get the same thing while typing, i'll think i tapped something (because I know i did) but it won't register. Extremely annoying and all 3 phones I've gone through had the same issue, getting tired of RMAing :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bajasur:
I mainly get this problem with gboard and the home button. It will double click a lot when I only touch once
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxys:
I'm also seeing this randomly as well! This is my biggest bug right now...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dekciw:
I installed the 8.1 dev preview and right off the bat it's working perfectly but let's see what happens in the next few hours. I don't understand why it's fine then all of a sudden not. It's completely ridiculous

Make sure you guys are enabling "show taps" under input in the developer options because when you tap and the visual feedback doesn't show then it's not registering. Enabling "pointer location" helps make it more obvious also
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bajasur:
I'm on 8.1 still having these issues
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] worldsoutro:
Every phone has quirks when it comes out but not this many. I get this too and I thought I had a defective unit. So do we now have to wait for the offical 8.1 release to get this fixed?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Neverendingxsin:
Not sure, my original device and both RMAs have had the same issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] simplepinoi177:
I, too, am having these types of issues. More and more I'm noticing that I have to re-tap 2 or 3 times to get it to register. Completely random as well (both in tap location and activity)...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] datafirm:
I'm getting this on my XL 2 but not on the Pixel 2. seems to happen on the lower left and right corners of the touch screen.

I'm running 8.1 DP1
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mxmarcus:
Same here. I am having the same issue
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dekciw:
Still not seeing any issues with the 8.1 dev preview. Still doesn't make me feel better though because this issue will happen out of nowhere after being fine for awhile

Still working perfectly. I'm letting google know about the issue and showing them the thread so they can look into it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] canemaxx:
I am having the same issue when selecting an app. I will have to tap the icon twice at times before it regiters and it's not in one specific area of the screen either.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
Maybe this will not make sense, but due to my wifi being slow for the last few hours, i decided to turn the wifi off.. While am using the phone since then, the lag and missed touches are gone.. It just registers every touch now.. (tried it many times on the usual laggy places like the enter on the keyboard bottom right corner and app drawer)

I can't tell if this can be related unless (and stays as a theory) that the wifi and touch registry drivers have some conflict that affects each others..

Maybe some of you can try it and run it for few hours and see, make sure that the wifi is completely off (not just not connected)..

Lets see if we can prove this theory..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Moostafa29:
I've had this issue on 8.0 and 8.1. Happens randomly through the screen, but consistently toward the bottom left and right portions of the screen. It's like those two places are dead zones.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
It's definitely sporadic. I was thinking it was certain apps as I would have issues in the browser, but Tapatalk is fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxys:
It's definitely random and it works better the harder I press...

Using Nova, Dolphin, No WiFi... think it's the LG screen panels?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dekciw:
No issues in 8.1 dev preview yet and it's been almost a day. Mine doesn't work better the harder I press, there's no registration at all when the issue happens so I don't know what to think. Maybe there's multiple separate issues happening in this thread? There's the edge of screen one, yours where it works better when you press harder and mine where I could tap 5 times in a row and nothing happens.

I don't know why the 8.1 dev preview doesn't have the issue for me.. I hope it stays that way when 8.1 gets released
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stumpy352:
I've noticed this for the last few days. It's completely random in my case. It happens whether WiFi is on or off. Different apps. Sometimes in the keyboard. Sometimes the nav bar. Anywhere on the screen. Thinking about doing a factory reset to see if it helps. Oh, the pain of it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
Don't want to jinx myself but I'm not seeing this touch registration issue at all after doing a factory reset. Been using my phone on and off for a few hours and haven't seen it once. Touch screen feels A LOT more sensitive. Will update if things change.

Edit: Put the phone on the charger (stock charger) for an hour, first charge since factory reset, and the problem is back.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stumpy352:
That's encouraging. Please do update us if it returns. Thanks.

Damnit. Looks like you jinxed yourself after all.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
Yep. Shame. Not sure what I'm going to do. I don't understand how it can be hardware when it's sporadically happening. This has to be kernel related. Maybe different revisions of the digitizer would account for some users not seeing this problem at all. I'm at a loss.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stumpy352:
I feel that it's a kernel issue also. Hopefully our devs will improve things. But at least it should be reason for a warranty claim down the track if things don't improve.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
At the risk of jinxing myself again.. I was trying to figure out if I could pin down any apps with elevated privileges that might be causing the issue. I uninstalled Fdroid (a 3rd party open source app store) and my touchscreen issues seem to be gone. Been using the phone off and on since 8 this morning and haven't had problems once. Strange. Will update again if things change...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stumpy352:
I don't have a hat app.

---------- Post added at 07:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------

Wow, looks like I might have found it. Oreo colorizer, set on efficient setting. Triggers it every time. Set on aggressive, no issues.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
Oreo seems to have made a lot of changes to the interface used by overlay apps. Could be a bug.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stumpy352:
What's interesting is that without Oreo colorizer installed, I get the problem. With it installed and on agressive, no problem.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] obsanity:
I'm only getting this issue in the chrome browser. The touch scroll has to be completed vertical otherwise it won't move at all.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stumpy352:
We'll, I have had time to extensively test my theory. If I uninstall or deactivate Oreo colorizer, or have it set to the efficient setting, I have missed touches.

Having Oreo colorizer set to aggressive and I have absolutely zero issues.

I have been repeatedly able to test this with definitive results.

I suggest those having this issue try it for themselves. It may not work for those with distinct deadzones on their screens, but it certainly is working for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
Have you pulled the OTA yet? I pulled it last night and not sure if it was uninstalling a few apps or the update but my touchscreen is flawless now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
The update didn't change that much.. I can't see anything working but turning my wifi off.. Am really annoyed..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
Have you tried a factory reset?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
I can't bother.. I cant re do all my apps settings.. And Google cloud backup doesn't backup apps data.. Toooo much work for me to reset..

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

So here is a suggestion.. Playing around and searching made me decide to do this..

Clear cache and then uninstall updates (app info - > 3 dots top right - > uninstall updates) of Google play store then Google play services.. (you can find both apps info under settings and apps)

Restart your phone.. Make sure you have a good internet connection, it will take some time for play store to update itself to latest version..

Then...

Now.. Am enjoying NOT missing touch registration at allllll..

So far.. Lets see..

By the way, i kept saying earlier in this thread that turning the wifi off was solving it for me, now wifi is on and not a problem at allll..

WooooW my phone is actually fully functional since i bought it..

No ota for me yet. I'm on the Telstra network in Australia. Usually takes them a week or 2 to allow updates through to consumers unfortunately. I've had success in the past by putting a different sim in the phone, but not with this phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] obsanity:
I don't think it had to do with any app. I'm now seeing this in G+ and just switched to taptalk and then back to G+ fixed the issue. It may be something with what the phone does.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
Worked with me.. So no harm in others trying it.. Won't affect the phone at all..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
Just curious, has anyone gone through with an RMA over this? I'm on day 8 with the device. Have until next tues.

Everytime I think the issues gone it comes back. I'm still not convinced it's hardware related but really curious why I don't see more people reporting it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Electricview:
I am experiencing this too. mostly this happens to me on my Google now news headlines when I click to read one and am scrolling down it randomly will not respond to a touch and scroll from my finger. Then it will work fine again the next 10 to 15 times. Curiously enough browsing this forum on chrome I have yet to have the issue. I'm thinking it's a pausing effect due to bad web programming or the phone hiccupping.. my 6p never did this.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] obsanity:
Ok, I think I've narrowed it down. It seems that if you turn off the display and turn it back on the issue instantly goes away.

We've seen this on another phone before. I think it was the Nexus 6 but I don't remember exactly. See if you guys can replicate this on your end. As soon as you experience the touch issues, turn off the display and turn it back on and check.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dekciw:
I haven't had any issues still since using the 8.1 dev preview
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
Settings > Apps & Notifications > All apps > Reset app preferences

Seems to have fixed it for the time being.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Ferenczy68:
Is there anyone that has the issue running custom dpi?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
Have anyone noticed a big improvement in touch sensitivity over all after the new Google Chrome update last night?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
Yes; turning off the screen does seem to fix it temporarily. (For me at least) so does clearing app preferences, so does clearing cache on the play store, so does adjusting pointer speed.

But it eventually always comes back. I'm thinking about getting another 2XL but I'm curious at this point if it's just something most people aren't noticing and the new one would be no different. Can't even take a guess at what's causing this, it really doesn't seem like hardware though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] obsanity:
No it can't be hardware because it would always have this issue from beginning and never go away. I think it may be something to do with display sleep time or dose mode. It could also be kernel related where processor cores are not being ramp up under certain conditions. Either way it needs to be reported and narrowed down at the software side.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
I was testing in safe mode and I was noticing the missed taps while typing on the keyboard. So the fact that it was happening in safe mode was a little unsettling and went ahead with the RMA.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] keith.mcintyre26:
Quick question- do you have "squeeze for assistant" turned on?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Ferenczy68:
I've had it turned off, for s&g I just turned it back on to see if it makes a difference. So far so good. I'll report back later. Thanks...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
No I have it turned off.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] keith.mcintyre26:
I did too and touch registration was a dumpster fire. I turned it back on about 4 hours ago and haven't had a single issue. I also didn't have it on while on the developer preview and everything was fine. I manually flashed the November stable update and started having problems.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
Interesting. Although I've found a bunch of different things that seem to fix the touch issues temporarily. It does seem to be fixed currently, will report back.

The replacement comes Tuesday so I have a bit more time with this phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Ferenczy68:
I think you've figured out the issue here. Haven't had a single missed touch since I turned it back on, kudos bro... ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
I think i will agree with you.. I remember now that i turned it on few days ago, but also uninstalled few other apps, so wasn't sure what solved it, now its 3 days and no touch sensitivity problems at all..
