I’ve recently applied a tempered glass screen protector to my Nothing Phone 2a, and I’ve been experiencing significant issues with touch sensitivity. Unfortunately, Nothing OS doesn’t seem to have an option to increase touch sensitivity, like I’ve seen on other smartphones such as Samsung and OnePlus.

The main issue I’m facing is that when I try to scroll, the phone often registers it as a simple touch instead, which is quite frustrating for daily use. This problem is especially noticeable around the edges of the screen.

Additionally, I’m having trouble while typing, especially when pressing the backspace button, which is located on the side of the keyboard. The touch often fails to register my taps unless I press very firmly, which makes typing a frustrating experience for me.

    I have faced inconsistent touch response upon applying screen protector and to use the device as intended, I am not willing to put on overpriced Rs 400/- screen protector from nothing. As is common among users, it is high time to bring on this feature to enable seamless display use.

    It sounds like the tempered glass might be interfering with the touch sensitivity of your Nothing Phone (2a Plus). Some tempered glasses, especially those without proper adhesive or compatibility with edge-to-edge displays, can cause touch issues like unregistered swipes or lag.

    To troubleshoot:

    1. Remove the Tempered Glass: If possible, temporarily remove it and test the phone. If the issue resolves, the tempered glass is likely the culprit.

    2. Check Touch Sensitivity Settings: Some phones have a “Touch Sensitivity” or “Glove Mode” setting that enhances touch responsiveness for screens with protectors. Look for this in the settings.

    3. Use a High-Quality Protector: If the tempered glass is the issue, consider switching to a premium option designed for edge-to-edge displays, like Gadgetshieldz or others.

    If the problem persists even without the tempered glass, the phone’s touchscreen might need attention. In that case, reach out to Nothing Support for further assistance.
