You can see an example in the undermentioned – at first, I demonstrate it unplugged, then plugged, the unplugged again. The difference should be evidently shark:
I post this here to acquire corroborations. Does anyone notice this occurring on their device? Considering that my fp4 used to ghost too, before the firmware update remediated that, I shan’t be surprised.
That doesnt look like Ghost touches? While charging the screen def is less responsive. Preety sure this was mentioned somewhere, should I find it will link or merge.
Ah, damn. Perhaps it’s because my charger might be ungrounded:
@yvmuell, it is occasionally less responsive, in that inputs don’t go through. However, more so, it merely loses input almost immediately. Thanks though.
Are you noticing a difference – while charging – between having the FP5 lie flat (e.g. on a desk) and holding it in your hand? Having the phone lying on a flat surface is typically known to deteriorate touch sensitivity.
I was running two SATECHI USB-C PSUs, connected via IEC 60320 cables to BS 1363 (EU designation “G-Type”) plugs. One contains 6 USB ports, and is connected to the mains via C5, the other contains 4 USB ports, and is connected via C8.
Somehow, resetting the power output configuration by connecting a new cable into the 4-port (C8) brick seemed to fix this issue, despite me being connected to the C5 one. I’ve tested it for 5 solid mins to ensure that it’s not placebo, but you can see for yourselves:
The unresponsiveness whilst lying flat on a hard surface is something users have kept reporting over the years. I notice it myself from time to time (on my FP3 though).
Not anymore. Consequently, I’ve been reading about grounding, and it appears that even if something somehow fails in the grounding process, the device should be protected against this if it’s properly insulated. Evidently, the fp5 isn’t Class II, despite its bulk.
Considering that all BS1363 sockets are 3-pin grounded, and all C5 connectors are too, does anyone have any ideas whether the grounding really could have failed (versus this being a fault of my device)?
I live somewhere rural, with (consequently) potentially unstable mains voltage:
Consequently, I’m wondering whether I need to hark back to the time of 90s PC PSUs, when an (EMC?) filter was necessary to ensure that it wouldn’t explode. I’ll attempt to measure whether this applies. [1]
I believe that this must be the cause, for as suddenly as it appeared, it disappeared. The reconfiguration earlier appearing to remediate it was a coincidence.
Fascinating. I’ve never managed to screen record it happening so clearly.
But I’m still strongly convinced that this is a software issue, not a hardware one.
As I’ve previously encountered a bug, where the phone keeps showing it’s charging, while it’s actually not plugged in.
And I spotted that behaviour because I noticed those same touch inconsistencies like if I was charging.
So it can’t be any sort of grounding. It happened even when away from the wall.
