Hi, I’m super happy with my new FP3… there is just this one issue: The screen seems to not be sensitive enough… like, if I touch the screen with just my fingertips (Finger in 90° to display) the touch isn’t recognized. Right in the morning it’s especially bad… I have to use my whole thumb to get …

Hello everyone, I just want to know the opinion of the Fairphone community on this topic. I personally find the touch sensitivity of the Fairphone 3 quite low and pretty much everyone I hand this phone is confused why it doesn’t react (they usually just lightly touch the screen with their fingers, w…

Hi Peter. My daughter nor I have any issue with the sensitivity. You can do Service tests via the dial pad. Dial *#*#66#*#* this brings up the Service menu > Service tests > Test single > Touchscreen You can also test the Test single > Display which in my case, with a light touch changes the col…

Hi, sometimes…specialy when my FP3 lies on flat surface, i have to do a little more pressure with my index to operate… This doesn’t affect at all my daily use but I can understand your topic.

Hi, sorry I didn’t post any updates here.

(And indeed I, as well, did not recommend it, when asked, for e…

In which case, if support hasn’t suggested dismantling and reassembling the screen then, maybe a return is appropriat…

Hi, same problem here. I have just filled the contact for to return my FP+3. I’m not using any filter on the screen, I’m just touching the FP+3 screen straight away.

Hello Everyone! Do you use a protective case on your phone? What happens if you remove the case? Is the touch screen still problematic? I don’t have a protective case on my phone, but I experienced problems with the touch sensitivity when I touch the screen only. For. e.g. I have my phone in the c…

Yes I use a Fairphone green case. Never experienced a problem with the screen and as the protective cases sold by Fairphone do not cover the screen, I can’t see why it would be an issue? The screens are capacitive and pick up the difference in voltage from your finger to the edges of the screen. D…

Hi amoun, [image] anon9989719: The screens are capacitive and pick up the difference in voltage from your finger to the edges of the screen. Dry fingers mean a low capacity to get a voltage reading, wet ones give a variable reading. Ideally the screens would have a user option to change the sen…
