Problem of capacitive sensor output on nRF52-DK Board

I'm implementing Capacitive Touch sensor using comparator method.

The hardware configuration was followed exactly as described here.

The output differs depending on the power supply method.

using USB power voltage :

using External supply, Li-poly battery regulated 3.3V :

When battery is used, output is very low. And There is little difference when the touch sensor output is touched or not.

I need high output.

So I tried applying the battery voltage(4.0V) directly to the USB power input.

But, result is same... sensor's value is very low.

I want to resolve this problem.

Why does this happen?
