Hello together,
my Elephone S7 arrived yesterday and iam very happy with it except the touch behavior. As many Elephones before my S7 has also the pixel-skipping problem. The touchscreen is very inaccurate and when you scroll slowly there will be continuously micro stuttering and pixel-skipping.
My Phoneversion: Black / 4Gb / 64Gb - Firmware: Elephone_S7_97_20161123
The Elephone P6000 had the same kind of touch behavoir problem. It could be solved with a software-fix. (TP-Fix)
Link to the guy who fixed it: http://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2377#.WD6BWYVFyUn
May somebody is able to locate the problem on S7 and write a similar fix. I hope there is no hardware limitation.
so far.
I have the same S7 model & firmware, but have not noticed the issue you mention.
Seems fairly usable and could not see noticable stuttering..
I have removed the screen protector though, maybe its a factor ?
If you have a look at the following post I think this issue has/is being addressed in a future firmware update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69783518&postcount=30
I dont say that the device is unusable but the stuttering on slow and short scrolling is still there. Especially when you adjust an slider or anything Else.
As reported in the opening post Iam on the lastet firmware 20161123.

Thanks for the info Lars
Good to see Elephone are constantly working on improving things, hope this continues until things are perfect.
I recall reading that Elephone will keep providing firmware updates for 1 year after the devices release date, let's hope they keep this promise. Also looking forward to Android 7.X although probably won't be for a while yet.

Hi
Yeah they have a super service Elephone ,just press icon on homescreen and write a suggestion or quistion or use link to official forum that contains official rom's and users own custom rom .. Pretty cool ..
By the way ,runs like a charm with latest update.
Very fast and so good it's camera..
Bricked it yesterday when rooting it this 6.0 is tricky but im pretty stubborn ...
Well now i has a new kernel update .. Looking forward to next update so i can have my smooth running phone back ..
Hey guys. I received my s7 yesterday. Out of the box I immediately did an update to 1212 Firmware via OTA. For me the pixel skipping bug is still here and for me this is pretty annoying!
Checking with MTK Engineering mode you can see that your finger movement is only recognised every 15-25 pixels.-no matter if you move in x direction or in y direction.
Do you think this can be really fixed by a Software Update? If this is hardware related I will immediately send back this thing!
It's not the only bug. Touch seems laggy in general. There seem to be a lot more. e.g. GPS, SIM 1 deactivation while connecting to car stereo via Bluetooth and so on.
I"m pretty disappointed by the s7 right now....
elephone s7 touch problem
youtu.be/WvHqSy3kIoM
Yes same problem !
It's a shame. I did have the same problem on my Nook color tablet, a touch driver firmware fixed the thing.
---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------
I hope Elephon is on the verge to fix this.
Hi everyone !
I did receive a new update firmware, a small one (83 MB) from the 01/09 and it fixed the laggy screentouch problem ! It's now perfectly smooth, at pixel scale ! Great news !!
Hi MO5.COM, thanks for the good news. I cant wait to update to newest version. Still waiting for it because the buildtin OTA update agent actual offers me no update.
Gesendet von meinem S7 mit Tapatalk
If someone knows where it downloads the new firmware (i tried to find it, no success) i can download it here !
Something strange, i needed to format the smartphone as new with the 20161219 firmware and not log into Google to apply this new small one. A bit strange.

OK for all the lucky people who have suceeded in updating their tpts to ICS, would you mind sharing feedback. I'm currently on the CM9 port which is stable enough for my use and I don't want to upgrade to ICS and lose CWM unless it's worth it:
1. Do both front and back cameras work?
2. Does Sound work properly?
3. Is there still the "pen wonk" problem where the pen develops a mind of its own and just stops working?
4. Is the tpt any faster than before (i.e boot times, application launch, etc)
5. Any noticeable lag during usage?
6. On honeycomb, the tpt is unresponsive to touch immediately its woken up from sleep for like a second. Is that problem still on ICS?
Feel free to share any other issues encountered. Thanks
Hey,
1. Both Cams are working
2. Sound is still a bit quiet, but it works
3. after the update i hadn't any problems with the pen
4. In my opinion it is much faster then before and there hasn't been any crash since the update
5. I don't see a lag
6. This problem is still there, but not as much as before.
Thanks @folkommen, I'm sure this info will be much useful for me and others
Can anyone else confirm that the pen doesn't suddenly stop working during usage? Please make sure you're using the pen for a decent amount of time as this issue seems to occur randomly but usually 10-20 minutes of writing.
Did the ICS update fix the GPS (or make it better)?
Focus?

Some have reported it fixed but Lenovo is actively working on the issue now and has an idea onmthe hardware side what may be wrong.
AT 05/25/2012 is the WE Version released, with the same problem as UK: some G3 Providers are missing the connection for internet, Bad supply recharging, busybox problems disabled upgrade.
My Upgrade was succsessfully. No problems, not before and not after the update. G3 works fine. GPS fixed within 10 s 6 Satellits.
Today I was notified that version 17.1.1.A.0.402 is available for update (through PC companion and Sony update app).
I am currently updating and hope for major improvements (eg. touchscreen response).
I am coming from 36 and this is the first update offered to me.
Has anyone found a changelog or similar?

I also just received it for LTE in the UK. Its updated and I think the touch response could actually be better. For example I usually need a few tries to get the unlock pattern to work but now it works first time. Still I need more time to test before I can say its fixed.
---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------
I cant see anything else new yet. A change log would certainly be nice. Great that Sony are active with updates though! This is the happiest Ive been with any Android device.
Can confirm LTE update here in Switzerland also poped up on my device, will wait till i read up on stuff like if root is still possible, if i can downgrade if not etc.:good:
i get it to in germany for the gp512
Germany, LTE model, findings so far:
- Far better touch response, waking up the Z2 via double-tap (using fingers, not firearms) now clearly better working
- Larger "hit zone" of Android symbols
- Less touchscreen problems in general, but needs some long-term experience
BUT ("but" seems to be an integral part of Sony devices nowadays):
- Waking up via double-tap does not always work, sometimes the Z2 reacts on tapping at special zones (center and above), only
- Hit zones of Android symbols sometimes shrink again to the former state; restart cures that for a while
- Short audio interruption when changing screen orientation a bit better, but still present
- SD card still read-only (I know, it's caused by Google - but not solving that problem is caused by Sony)
- Z2 still bent
Strange: I've got Z2 tablets. One of them had extreme touchscreen issues, the other one showed almost no issues at all.
Now I've got the feeling that the "worse" Z2 (bare naked) works better than the previously "good" Z2 (enclosed by a protective case). But I am not real sure, yet.
can someone upload the ftf file please
i had root the last firmware and now i can`t install it because the verification
thx
I also just got the update ad download it now... I'm coming from Austria
In the Netherlands the update arrived also today.
I don't see any big differance in this short period of time.
Someone post the build.prop please.
Sony Media apps finally got updated! *WiFi US model*
Sent from my SGP511 using XDA Premium HD app
I'm wondering if it's possible to downgrade again in case a root exploit is found that is only available in the original firmware. Any thoughts on that?
Sent from my SGP511 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Anyone have the FTF.
I have not noticed any changes yet. The response of the touchscreen has definitely not improved on my tablet. I was so much hoping on this... Why is there no change log anywhere? I sooooo much would like to know the improvements of this firmware... Any ideas anyone?
Ironbyron
1. Uploading FTF now...
2. On my device, the touchscreen problems are now gone.

Any news mate
The most recent firmware for the LTE version (.55) has this as a changelog, so I assume we can expect these fixes in the latest release amongst others.
Improved camera performance & function with faster start time and better auto focus
Improved FM radio function
Graphics improvements with smoother scrolling and image movement
Improved stability with the latest bug fixes and enhancements
---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------
First things I've noticed is vibration now works with the keyboard. Google Keep is now installed as a system app, presumably to make up for no 'notes' and touch responsiveness is an improvement. The keyboard font size is also larger.
All on the WiFi model.
Touch screen issue is still there but not as worst as before.
Just down load multi touch tester, you can notice the problem is still there

Good news and bad news...
Good news first: .402 made the touchscreen response of a previously bad behaving device far better !
Bad news: .402 made the touchscreen response of a previously well behaving device far worse !
First, I had a Z2 with a BAD touchscreen and BAD creaking issues, and a Z2 with a GOOD touchscreen and NO creaking issues.
Now, I've got a Z2 with a GOOD touchscreen and BAD creaking issues, and a Z2 with a BAD touchscreen and NO creaking issues.
Both devices still have severe issues with multitouch - it's just same as with the Nexus 7 2013.
So again, Sony failed big time. :/
I start wondering if they ever manage to do just ANYTHING right.
I used the device heavily last night and the touch is without doubt better. It used to be barely usable when laying on its back or in the cradle, now its ok.
But I am having a little problems with bluetooth. My keyboard drops out and sometimes the mouse pointer stutters. It used to be perfect so that's a bit annoying.
Something I noticed: the display brightness when set to auto, now takes the brightness slider position into effect, so you can choose how much the screen will dim or brighten relative to environment light. Before, the brightness slider had no effect in auto brightness mode.
Hello there. Im new to this forum. Im using a A3 2016 galaxy model. I was running 6.0.1. I decided to update to 7.0 via Odin because this update hasnt released in my country. It was all good. The keyboard was fast and responsive. After a minute was unresponisve. i mean i was typing sthng fast and in the end only the half word was done! i googled this and found a lot of threads about this in nougat . After that i saw unresponsive pitch zoom in gallery. But when i lock and unlocked the screen zoom and keyboard lag was gone. i think its general unresponsive(not only in keyboard and zoom). I decide to downgrade back to 6.0.1 . Faster than nougat of course. But all of the sudden the probem was still there!!! Now im writing to help me out guys. I have some thinks in my mind:
1.Is Odin s fault?
2.I moved on to my village that temp is 40 celsius. Is the temp ?or the temperd glass became unresponsive cause of that hot weather? So its tempered glass fault ?
3. Is a hardware s problem? (i dont think so because all was good before *as i remember* )
Its just a temporary issue and will go away by the time ?
Note ! I wiped the cache and data 3 times at least!!!
Sorry for my bad English .

Same situation I thought is the fault of hardware not enought performant on some situation, the ram isn't suffisant to use two application on the same time, I find that nougat is more laggy than marshmallow but when nougat lag the phone freeze and with marshmallow it was more time to response probably du by too much information waiting ... Can you say me when you get thoses issues to may or may not confirm my theory
The stock keyboard is also very laggy on my A310f using any Samsung based Nougat ROM.
I generally use the standalone Touchtype Swiftkey, which is just head and shoulders above any other KB I've found, and which you can make almost identical(but better) via theming, if you really must have the look of the S-Keyboard. I'm also so used to the Swiftkey symbol/key layout and find it much faster and intuitive to type with in general.
I haven't found any other lag issues with Nougat on Samsung ROMs, other than keyboard input.

Hi. Yes, it's a known bug in Nokia 6.1 Plus Android 10 update. As far as I know, an update is scheduled this month which includes March security patch and fix for this audio bug.
i still have the same issue after march update ... so will it be fixed ?
Same here.

Still its here ? Seems like they gave up android one ?
Problem still persists after April security patch.
I realized that the problem is not only related to WhatsApp, but I also noticed the same crackling sound when I was playing a game (Horizon Chase) as well.
They may not fix it soon. If your phones Bootloader is unlocked, just flash a custom ROM and enjoy. ?
Hey Guys, I do have WhatsApp cracking sound for both normal phone call & WhatsApp audio recordings so in this case I decided to take a step further to confront Nokia on Twitter but at the same time we need a pool of people reporting the similar issues under my post to have the company feel customers is everything & they need to somehow fix it. Would you join hands with me?
https://mobile.twitter.com/GKGopaKumar5/status/1266723703057833984
Apparently it was fixed with today's OTA system update.
It took 3 months to get it fixed though.

Wow! Thats a good news but i still did not have any update ?
They finally fixed the crackling sound in May MR.
Any idea how to get the URL to the zip would be very helpful. I messed with the system partition after the upgrade, and it went directly to download mode but surprisingly the phone booted up after flashing the 'old' android 10 system image..
Nokia just patched vendor partition and forces us to download the whole payload 'again'

It seems the WhatsApp audio with cracking noise is not completely fixed cos when you play an audio in WhatsApp and you minimise the app, though audio isn't coming out with noise but it stutters. I would like others who uses WhatsApp and have successfully upgraded to the latest May MR build to confirm this issue
EDIT: Fixed!

Yes. I can confirm that the problem is not fully resolved yet.
After last OTA update, I was playing a voice note from WhatsApp with the screen turned on and the audio was fine. As I wrote before, the crackling audio problem seemed to be resolved after that update.
However as soon as the screen automatically turned off, the audio started to stuttering.
In other words, the problem is only partially fixed.

Hi XDA,
I'm having an issue where every time i unlock my phone using a lock screen notification to go directly to the app, my phone crashes and goes back to the lock screen. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix?
Thank you

My phone is standard, no root or anything.
im on 1.1.2
Had the same issue since I got it. There is no fix until they fix it software side.
I have the same issue! Running latest 1.1.2 software, no root.
I'm from Germany by the way, were are you from guys? Would be interesting to see if devices from a certain area have the same issues.
This ****ty software feels so beta its unbelievable.
UK here, had the problem since launch day
Another EU version here with the same issue. Located in the Nordics
I'm also having this issue and the new update should resolve it!
