Hi everyone, A new software update based on Android 12 is now available to Fairphone 4 users. Software Version: FP4.SP2J.B.086.20230807 Security Patch Level: 5th of July, 2023 Update size (from previous version): 103.05 MB List of changes: Resolved issues Ghost touches: an issue that causes t…

Perfect update! I had huge problems with ghost inputs! So much so that the phone became unusable. That is fixed with this update, thanks for that! :slight_smile:

[image] cosmic: I can confirm that after this update, the screen of my FP4 is much less responsive than before. I never had any issues with the sensitivity of the screen or ghost touches before the update, so it definetely made things worse for me. [image] sniemeyer: Perfect update! I ha…

[image] cosmic: as soon as I place the phone on a table or any other flat surface, the screen becomes very unresponsive and barely recognices my finger movement anymore. Scrolling or zooming (e.g. Google Maps) becomes a pain, but also simple tapping e.g. to launch an app only works occasionally …

Update went well. For the record, I didn’t experience ghost touches before, and after an extensive 5-seconds test (!) I do not think my touchscreen sensitivity has been affected by this update. :sweat_smile: My, Fairphone updates are bad for my aging heart… :laughing:

I guess we’ll hear from you in a few days about this issue :nerd_face: It doesn’t happen often. As mentioned, in a perfect office-like environment things work well.

To balance the discussion a little bit, so far I haven’t noticed any issues with scrolling, zooming or touch sensitivity in general. Even yesterday on a pretty hot day when my hands were really sweaty. Everything was as responsive as I would expect.

I do have ghost touch before. After the lastest update of ghosts touch is hard to enlarge the image and using the Google map rotation with 2 fingers.

I tried this, and there is definitely a difference between holding the phone and having it lying on a table. But for me, this has nothing to do with orientation. If I hold the phone in my hands, the touchscreen works without any issues. If I lay it down, I can barely get the 2-finger zoom to work, …

[image] Another random discussion about FP I’m just happy that they seem to be doing something about all the issues now. I’m just sad that it took them nearly 2 years from release to do so. I have just tested this with myself. It works exactly as it should for me. It’s strange that it’s so d…

I haven’t found a way to reliably reproduce the issue. My assumption is that it has to do with sensitivity, but maybe something else is at play.
