Fix for Poco F1 Touch Issues Coming Later This Month
Nov. 13, 2018Poco F1 is arguably the most attractive smartphone when it comes tovalue for money, because ofthe performance it offers. But despite the powerful specifications, many users have felt that Xiaomi has skimmed on certain features to cut costs.
One of theissues that Poco F1 many users have reportedis the problem with multi-touch, especially observable while playing immersive shooters such asPUBG Mobile. For a long time, Pocophone’s Twitter support has received some flack for the lack of the company’s efforts in resolving this issue on Poco F1 buta fix seems to be underway.
While responding to a user’s query, Pocophone’s global head Alvin Tsehinted that the issue is about to be resolvedand rolled out to users very soon. Tse suggested that thefix will first be made to the beta users before the end of this month.
While there is no official update from Xiaomi or Poco on the issue, an MIUI Forum memberManik Singhreports that he was offered a fix by the Pocophone engineers and developers working on the fix. Almost convinced that there was no fix for the peeve after a lack of proper response from Pocophone’s and Xiaomi’s Twitter teams, the user uploaded a video of the touch response tracker in the Poco F1 bugs thread as a last resort.
Luckily, he was hit up by one of Xiaomi’s developers who helped them with a software patch. The patch appears to havesolved the problem of random as well as missed touchesand the user hasshared a video as a proofof the development.
The user has not shared the patch with others, but the video proof makes a compelling case that the issueshould be fixed in the coming months for all users. Meanwhile, we also expect Poco to also roll out Android Pie for Poco F1 by next month and while abeta build is already available, there aren’t many exciting features that set it apart fromMIUI 10 based on Android Oreo.
