Unity Touch sensitivity issue on Samsung Devices
We are working on a touch based app for Android in Unity3D and C# which colors part of an image with Flood Fill as per touch.
Problem is, while on most of the devices the touch works smoothly, on Samsung Note 5 and S6 specially, it takes a few taps to register a single touch. To extend the confusion, when we try other similar apps on these devices, they have no problems at all.
Here's the code we used for the touch. It's basically a simple raycast on tapping the screen. We tried with both, mousePosition as well as GetTouch.
if (Physics.Raycast (Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.GetTouch(0).position), out hit, Mathf.Infinity)) {
Renderer rend = hit.transform.GetComponent<Renderer> ();
MeshCollider meshcol = hit.collider as MeshCollider;
myImage = Instantiate (rend.material.GetTexture ("_MainTex")) as Texture2D;
Vector3 texCoord = hit.textureCoord;
float scaleX = rend.material.GetTextureScale ("_MainTex").x;
float scaleY = rend.material.GetTextureScale ("_MainTex").y;
float deg = rend.material.GetFloat ("_RotationDegrees");
deg *= Mathf.Rad2Deg;
texCoord.x = (((texCoord.x * scaleX + rend.material.GetTextureOffset ("_MainTex").x)));
texCoord.y = (((texCoord.y * scaleY + rend.material.GetTextureOffset ("_MainTex").y)));
#region ROTATION
float s = Mathf.Sin ((deg * Mathf.PI) / 180);
float c = Mathf.Cos ((deg * Mathf.PI) / 180);
Vector2 temp = new Vector2 (texCoord.x, texCoord.y);
temp.x -= 0.5f;
temp.y -= 0.5f;
float xnew = temp.x * c + temp.y * s;
float ynew = -temp.x * s + temp.y * c;
temp.x = xnew + 0.5f;
temp.y = ynew + 0.5f;
texCoord.x = temp.x;
texCoord.y = temp.y;
#endregion
texCoord.x *= myImage.width;
texCoord.y *= myImage.height;
FloodFiller.RevisedQueueFloodFill (myImage, (int)texCoord.x, (int)texCoord.y, GameplayConstants.currentColor, false);
// penSprite.GetComponent<Animation> ().Play ();
rend.material.mainTexture = myImage;
}
We have even used a script that detects DPI and makes changes to the Unity UI sensitivity on the fly, but that too doesn't help. In fact our other devices have similar DPI levels.
Will be thankful for any help!

Hi, I do not have an answer but a (maybe) similar problem. Got some reports regarding problems tapping/touching some elements in the UI and after investigating it turned out that some elements could only be touched on the upper part of the element. e.g the top 40% of the image for example. For most devices it was working as intended but on e.g. S6, S7 and Note 8.0 the problem was present.
Maybe it is not the same problem though?
Hi, It seems like a similar problem. In our case some parts of the image are tapable only after a few tries. In Some other apps like colorfy it works perfectly fine in same devices.
Were you able to come to a solution at all?
For me the issue was that none-visible elements, for example Text$$anonymous$$eshPro text objects occupying the same area blocked it even though they were suppose to be behind and not target of raycasts. The problem was still only visible on mostly Samsung devices which made it a lot stranger. I made moved/resized/disabled any interfering elements. Not sure if it is related to your problem except that it seems to affects the same device families. :S
