    Anyone gets problems when firing a grenade via dragging the bullseye over an area? by default so long as your finger's on the screen and then removed the shot should be fired. It always happens with point-weapons (especially by accident when u don't want) But with grenades the shot doesn't fire at times, and it's getting irritating. And it's not a result of cancellation either since that requires another finger.

    two, three times back to back this crap happens when you're desperately trying to off an enemy and nothing.

    If you drag to high, there is a “X” that cancels the shot

    It can be moved in settings

    Also yea happens to me all the time when I use firebomb

    If you drag the bullseye to the borders of the screen, the shot will be canceled.

    I assure you guys, these aren't the cases. I figure sometimes the screen could misread finger prints. sometimes the screen smudges, leaving a print, so..... a possibility.

    Smart-phone screens don't react to finger prints... they sense the location of your finger based on the change in electric current when you touch the screen.

    The screen doesn't see fingerprints.
    Smartphones use projective capacitive touchscreens, also known as PCAP touch.

    There is an invisible metal mesh sensor applied to the back of the cover glass, which will sense the capacitance of your finger / stylus through the cover glass.
    It is impossible for a PCAP touchscreen to generate a touch based on a fingerprint.

    No touch technology can be triggered from a fingerprint, closest would be optical touch which uses cameras in the four corners, but even these are usually CMOS IR cameras and would tell the difference between a print and an actual finger / object.

    So you can rule out the smudge / fingerprint as being the reason the shot is cancelled.

    After reading all the points above you, reading yours made me laugh.
    No offence, but it sounds so ridiculous

    I ain't the only one to talk about print or smudge problems.
    they're instances because of this that my finger isn't even on the screen but the ship is locked in a direction and i can't regain control or sometimes even shoot till either i wipe the screen or turn the phone off & on.
    It is what it is.

    Phone sounds broken, like I said smudges cannot generate touch inputs.
    So the fact your phone is generating its own touches means your hardware is faulty, either a broken touch sensor or a bugged CPU.
    Rebooting the phone may solve it as will reboot the controller inside the phone which interfaces to the touchscreen.
    Wiping a fingerprint off will have no effect, and if it appears to it is purely coincidental.

    I think I know what you're talking about.

    Why can't we flickshot with the grenade? I've had this too actually.
