Are you having the same issue? I'm from Faisalabad and I'm having touch issue. Just want to confirm that its not fault with my unit. Pakistani warranty claims are really ****.

when did u buy your phone? And have you bought your phone from mistore online? What's your phone's miui update number?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] frosthawk:
Bought it 2 days ago from Selecto, not online store - using MIUI 10.4.5.0
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dimeim:
Thank God I see this finally mentioned.

I bought it from a Mi store on Monday. Was driving me crazy as I type quite fast on my Redmi Note 4 and never had problems. on Rn8pro there were issues on bottom left, bottom right and also on the sides, which is evident of you tap and hold near the edges to keep an Instagram story from changing for example.

Returned the phone, got a new one, still same issue. Went back, the guy tried it himself and confirmed its an issue. We tried the display phones and same thing. It's also clear if you type random letters fast and hit the enter key, many times it's missed. Returned the second phone as well, got marked as DOA as the first one and got my money back.

I tried before the update to 10.4.5, after the update, with Gboard and SwiftKey. No use in saying 'you're not tapping right', I know how to use my phone. The phone is problematic, either hardware or software wise, which is an incredible pity. The sooner this is recognized, the sooner Xiaomi might address it. Personally I'm looking forward to seeing it resolved so I can buy it again, as it's a great phone otherwise...

So, phone owners, let's unite and try to make Xiaomi notice the issue. Any feedback or suggestions as to how to communicate the problem, are welcome.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] AlphaBravo:
I have bought from MiStore. I'm using SwiftKey and and there is occasional lag at the left bottom part of keyboard. Have to press twice at times. Not so annoying thanks God. My phone is on MIUI 10.4.1.0

Xiaomi should address this problem in upcoming update
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] frosthawk:
Yes I'm facing the same issue on 10.4.5.0 - My warranty is from Sirat Tech and they told me LCD is not covered by warranty.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] c1rcle:
The update made no difference. Every single device I have tested has the same defect (I have tested five devices already). It has to be software related, otherwise Xiaomi would be in big trouble.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] AlphaBravo:
Hope so, it should be rectified soon.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dimeim:
A good thing it's widespread. Do you think there's a way to communicate it more directly to Xiaomi? I doubt they read XDA - or even their own forums, for that matter.... :/
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] @SidDev:
File a bug report from your phone using Feedback app present and also post about it in the Mi community app.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Google_Android:
Yes, for example, write them on Twitter.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dimeim:
I wrote to Xiaomi on Twitter as well. It seems that people are reporting other issues with the LCD panel as well, such as lines appearing on screen etc... Doesn't look too good. Hopefully it will start getting noticed and fixed asap..
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] frosthawk:
Can you give me the link to those twitter feeds? I dont use twitter so I dont know how to follow those. Thanks.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Chainz007:
My RN8P arrived today (128GB Global)

It seems to be a software bug for me.

I started the phone and I tested the leftcorner behaviour with GBoard -Yes the bug is

noticeable. After I switched to fullscreen gestures and a smaller Display-DPI in the settings the touchscreen issue was gone.

You Guys can check it and tell us your experience!?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dimeim:
While I had the phone, I was using fullscreen gestures and the issue was there. Never tried the DPI thing, it would be great if someone could test it. What setting did you use for DPI?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] frosthawk:
Yes I checked the full screen gesture and 320 DPI, it helps alot but doesn't completely fixes the problem. Touch responsiveness was significantly improved at left corner but if you go towards complete edgy area it still skips. Did yours fixed completely?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Chainz007:
I use the phone since 2 Hours now and just for setup and messaging and I cannot recognize any fault. But I have to use it longer to be sure.

For the DPI - I chose the smallest "Text-size" and "Display-size" available in the settings
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dimeim:
If possible please try the following :

Type random letters fast and hit enter at random for example:

Shfjfjdkd

Fjfjdjdjd

Djffjfjfjf

Do this for 10-15 times and see if some enter presses are missed. Also, what MIUI version are you on?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Chainz007:
Nearly every "Enter" is missed if I do what zu wrote, but I´m too lazy to check other keyboards, because maybe its a normal behaviour from gboard to avoid hitting enter while fasttyping!? Its just the "enterbutton" and the "Shift" Button - so for me it seems to be wanted.... I´m not sure, but I can say I wrote about 100 Messages in the last 3 hours (And I´m a fast typing guy, too) and could not recognize touch issues like I knew them from pocophone for example.

If there is something changing in the next days, I will inform you about that.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] frosthawk:
Yes the issue is not that bad but it still exists. With Pocophone it was kinda obvious that its a firmware issue. But with Redmi Note 8 Pro we still can't figure out if its hardware or firmware issue cuz its happening in multiple MIUI versions.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Soc78:
A temporary solution

Same issue here. I found out that if you press the ?123 on the left edge (just saying that you try to hit only the ? symbol of ?123 symbol on the keyboard) the problem is vanished (same on the enter button but you have to hit it on the right edge).
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] frosthawk:
My solution is using swiftkey and positioning the keyboard a few millimeters higher than original height. That way the the thumb doesn't touch the laggy area.

Another workaround is to press and hold the ?123 and enter key, which always works but requires getting used to
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dimeim:
Do you mean the issue disappears only for that press (so essentially you mean to always try to hit the edge) or if you do it once then the lag doesn't occur anymore no matter where you hit the key?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Soc78:
No the lag still exist. Actually what I wrote is not a sollution for the problem but a way to avoid it until they fix it. So you have always try to hit the edge.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] hasnain209:
I had the same problem but after update today its fixed i have tested in CIT and now both the corners are working fine previously the touch was causing problems when when typing alphabets and switching to numbers by pressing the 123 button, recent update was 10.4.20(PGGMIXM).
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] frosthawk:
God Bless you. Finally some good news. I hope you have the RU ROM, I'm waiting for update on EEA ROM. Lets hope the touch problem is fixed in that.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dimeim:
That is indeed amazing news! Can please other also verify with the update? I'm hoping to buy the phone again soon ?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] shaparuddin:
I immediately updated to MIUI 10.4.5.0 (Global) right after purchasing my phone. Shifted ABC to 123! quite fast especially when entering passwords for lots of apps (Since it's a new phone), so far didn't encounter this problem. Maybe need updating?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] frosthawk:
Is 10.4.5.0 released for global? I think the latest OTA is only V10.4.2.0 - did you upgrade it manually?

10.4.5.0 is only released for EU/EEA versions, I'm using 10.4.5.0 on EEA and facing this issue.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] shaparuddin:
Sorry, I'm not really sure mine Eu/EEA version :D (How do we check on that btw). Updated via OTA.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] frosthawk:
Go to settings > My Device > MIUI Version > There will be code written there in bracked (PGGEUXM maybe).

Does it say MIUI Global 10.4.5. | Stable 10.4.5.0 (PGGEUXM) or MIUI EEA 10.4.5. | Stable 10.4.5.0 (PGGEUXM) ?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] shaparuddin:
Oh thanks, mine written MIUI Global 10.4.5. | Stable 10.4.5.0 (PGGEUXM)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] frosthawk:
I'm using the same version and I am facing the touchscreen issue. Does your ABC ?123 button detects every time or sometimes it skips? e.g. 2 out of 10 times my button gets skipped.

I am also confused about the ROM thing, the code for EU/EAA ROM is (PGGEUXM) but in phone settings its written Global MIUI.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] shaparuddin:
I didn't do the count but so far ?123/ABC button detected never experience any skip (yet).
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] frosthawk:
It almost never skips if you press the button from topside, try to press it with your thumb a bit near the lower side. If it doesnt skip then maybe its hardware issue and your unit is completely good. :)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] shaparuddin:
I notice it skipped if I have my thumbs only covering below !123/ABC to some black area outside the Gboard itself. Otherwise, It detected.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] frosthawk:
Yes thats the whole issue but dont worry its not a big issue and we all are facing it, hopefully it will be resolved in next update or MIUI 11.

If you want to avoid that skipping just press the upper side or go to gboard settings > preferences > layout > keyboard height and set it to tall or extra tall. that way you wont feel that skipping at all. :)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] shaparuddin:
Thanks for the tips :)

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] frosthawk:
what rom are you using? this issue seems to be fixed in RU and Global 1.4.2 rom.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dimeim:
Isn't the latest 10.4.5? I think that's what my phone downloaded. Or is 10.4.2 somehow newer than 10.4.5??

Is there someone who had the issue (reproduced with the fast typing test) and it stopped with an update?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] frosthawk:
10.4.5.0 is latest for EEA but it was release the same time as 10.4.1.0 on global i think. The RU and Global ROM at 10.4.2.0 have been reported to fix this issue.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dimeim:
That would be nice but do we have any confirmation of this?

Feedback, anyone on RU/Global?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] fakherbadareen:
I use the global version and the problem still exists at this moment
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Likeale:
I have the same problem with the latest MIUI update: MIUI Global 10.4.5 | Stable 10.4.5.0 (PGGEUXM).

The screen sometimes doesn't register the touch inputs near the bottom corners.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] frosthawk:
I just checked a friend's Redmi Note 7 and another friend's Note 8 pro with global rom (I use EEA rom). They both have this touch latency lag at bottom corners. I'm guessing Xiaomi doesn't really see this as a problem for now.

Other than that there are also other issues like horizontal strobe flashes in screen especially under dark gray colors aa discussed in other thread. I recorded them but they don't appear in the video so I am assuming both touch and strobe flashes are hardware defects in LCDs.

The only possible solution I find is to seek professional support from mistore or mi official forums or wait for developers to come up with custom ROMs so we can verify if those issues occur in custom ROMs as well. If custom ROMs give the same issue, this might definitely be hardware defect.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] nitin194:
Its extremely irritating

I got the phone replaced for this problem, but the new phone also has the same problems but in different screen areas, like the gear icon in the notification shade for opening the settings menu. I am really regretting to purchase Redmi Note 8, It's not laggy, some hits are missed completely, and you have to tap again. This is so much irritating. Xiaomi should recall all such phones and replace it with non-faulty devices.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spikeboy97@yahoo.com:
Every thing is fine to me regarding touch screen.

I have note 8 pro 128gb, 6gb ram, global variant but every thing is working great. I never faced this issue. I am currently on 10.4.2.0
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Danmann:
I have also 128gb, 6gb ram and global version. I can't see a problem. But I don't use it much because I'm waiting to get this unlocked and some custom Rom first before I use it as a daily device.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Likeale:
I still have this problem with the update 11.0.1.0 PGGEUXM. It's probably a hardware defect in my unit.

Hello there everyone. I've ordered Redmi Note 8 128/4, it has not arrived yet though. Has anyone faced this issue on the 128/4 variant? Has anyone managed to solve the issue? Is it confirmed to be software? Depending on the answers, I'll cancel my order.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] osmxgohan:
If you mean the normal model with Snapdragon, I have read in other forums that it also has problems on the keyboard more specific delays
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] AlphaBravo:
My RN8Pro has no such issue. Global version on MIUI 11.0.1.0
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] frosthawk:
You should more likely cancel the order. It might be a factory defect in all LCDs used for Redmi Note 8 Pro. Although if you buy the phone, you wont even notice this issue after a few days of use. You can position the keyboard just 1 cm above that area from settings option and you'll be good to go.

Possible fix for the touch problem

Hi guys! I've been using RN8 Pro for about 3 Months now, and yeah, since I had this phone, I had this issue and sadly, I just made ways to manage to live with it... until now.

After reading all your comments and inputs, I realized that the situation is real dire, and almost all of us experience super similar specific issues regarding on the keyboard, the funny thing is, this problem only persists with keyboards, I tried trying plenty of keyboards already like Fleksy, Gboard, default keyboard etc... but the problem still persists. Then I remember, I saw in the settings that somewhat shows about enhancing a part of the keyboard, that's where I remembered there IS a setting that affects the areas where the issues persists... Tried switching that setting off... then... Voila! I'ts fixed for me! :D I hope this fix can help you guys too.

Text Instructions:

Settings>Additional Settings>Languages & Input>Enhance Keyboard>Regular

Restart Phone just to make sure, but isn't necessarily required. :)

Please, if you find this effective and working for you, share this to others who's still looking for a fix. That'd be all. Thanks! GOD Bless!

Tnx 4NDY-G30, this is awesome news :D

Can someone else try this and confirm that is working for them?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] ScarletVeil:
Have you guys tried

1. Typing without covering / holding phone

2. Try dipping fingers into salty water (and dried it with tissue) before typing

3. Put app in game booster list and increase touch screen sensitivity there ( yes, game booster has this feature)

I could finally find the solution , after two months ,

Simply go to apps , manage apps and find the gboard there ,

Clear data and cache ,

And after this , i received an gboard update , so it is working fine for me now ,

The possible error might be because of using mi mover and transfer the data from the old phone to new phone ,i thought so , do check it and let me know ,it is 100% working on me now ,.

I have installed SwiftKey keyboard and the issue still occurs on my redmi note 8 Pro. The issue also visible after upgrade to Android 10.

Issue not visible when using soft key navigation instead of gestures. :(

Hello again,

While picking up something from the mall I have added a self-healing screen protector from a boutique to my redmi note 8 Pro.

To my surprise the touch sensitivity increased in the lower corners to the point that I don't notice the issue anymore.

What it is up whit this behaviour? Anyone with screen protector and no issue?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] vlasislav:
I downgraded from Android 10 to Android 9 flashing ROM via fastboot method and now Al corners work fine. Various touch screen tests also confirm it.

PS. Running 11.0.3, twrp & rooted.

I do think that the auto healing screen protector somehow improved the touch, perhaps canceled some sort of corner anti faulth touch protection.

Anyone with similar screen protector - soft type, not glass or hard plastic, noticed improved sensibility?

Thank you

seems to be two types of issues!

While some users are reporting faulty touch which also appears in CIT and other apps, others are reporting touch issue only in Gboard.

Mine was the latter, only gboard lagged and required a double touch to register, solved by switching to a very old, bloat-free keyboard from 2013.
