[Q] That screen...

I've scoured the internet in attempt to resolve this issue, and I know it's been talked about many a time before, but this just doesn't have an answer yet afaik.
Does anybody have any experience with fixing the inaccuracy of the touch screen after prolonged use? I love the nexus one, it's by far the best phone I've owned; but this little bug makes the phone completely unrealistic in real-world use.
If this isn't a software issue, it has to be something with the digitizer being powered off and back on to remove the accuracy bug. In that case, is there any low-level way to turn the digitizer off and back on as fast as possible every X seconds? That would mean losing touch capability for a few milliseconds, but is much better than locking and unlocking the phone each time it "goes wild."

I had given up all hope that this issue could be resolved in any fashion as dodgy hardware is, well...dodgy. Nothing can be done about it right?
I haven't had a screen wonk since starting in on the CM7 nightlies many moons ago!
IN YOUR FACE WONK!

Is there an FAQ about this digitizer issue?

No, but it's been covered so extensively that nobody really mentions it any more. Either that or others have found what i have, that somehow the CM7 ROM mitigates the problem. Seriously, i haven't had an issue with it for months!
My particular N1 was never good with stock ROMs. Hated them and gave me endless trouble with one thing or another. It's the polar opposite for me with CM ROMs. Never any issues at all. No call or screen wonk, none of the bugs that others often complain about. It's like the phone has an attitude!
After flashing something ridiculous like 40+ CM7 Nightlies and stable releases, i've not had to wipe data once

Can you please describe what the digitizer issue was/is? I just ordered N1 and haven't received it yet. And what about call wonk? I haven't seen anything about this one.

Basically the digitizer has a couple of quirks. One is that after prolonged use (I found it to be completely random) the accuracy goes berserk, registering touches nowhere near they actually are. Secondly there is a switching of the axis when you cross two points: video. They are hardware related so there is no fix. The wonk is a problem with CyanogenMod7 specifically, causing black screens when receiving calls.
Personally I rarely if ever come across the digitizer problem and have never came across the wonk. They aren't deal breakers but can cause a few problems if you play a lot of multi-touch games.

Well, the touchscreen issue is nothing more than a bad digitizer that was released with the phone and never improved during manufacture of the device. All Nexii have the same one, although people suffered the problem in varying degrees. What would happen is every so often your touch on the screen would register in the wrong place so you may be selecting a shortcut on your homescreen to launch an app, but it might register the touch as being an inch higher/lower/somewhere random. the solution has always been to simply press the power button to turn the screen off/on again. This would fix the issue... until it occurred again.
The call wonk is really in two parts. Stock GB ROMs had a habit of introducing a slight delay in one party being able to hear the other during the start of a call. On CM7 ROMs it was a more significant issue of black screens and freezes during the start of a call. These didn't affect affect everyone though, and even Cyanogen himself didn't have it on on his own device.
EDIT: The other issue affecting the N1 was a weak, and often failing, power button. With the need to keep using it to fix the screen wonk the problem was made worse. That's why you might often see mentions of Trackball wake as it reduced the need to use the power button, therefore extending it's life. Trackball wake is only available on custom ROMs so bear that in mind too!
The phone isn't perfect but with the custom ROM devs doing there thing it's pretty decent for me

Hollow.Droid and DirkGently1 - I appreciate your responses.
Can I bring your attention to my other question to which nobody responded yet?

When the issue happens you just lock and unlock the screen to fix it. No need for a reboot.
This issue isn't really such a big deal. It happens once a week or so, and it takes a few seconds to black out the screen then unlock, problem gone.

Getting a better look at this multitouch issue, with some good ol' community feedback

Hey guys,
Thought I'd post this here and keep you guys updated on further developments.
I live in the Netherlands and bought a 32GB version at Dixons at the 13th of November 2012
I had found the touchscreen a bit unresponsive sometimes in the past.
But couldn't really find out why it was acting up. I finally isolated the issue.
It is exactly the same as this guys vid:
(Thanks for the vid injahnet)
Together with a little backlight bleeding, I decided to send for repair.
(The problem persisted after a factory reset, no other apps were open when testing.)
I went back to Dixons and showed the problem to the Dixons dude.
He acknowledged there was an issue and sent it for repairs or replacement.
Due to the holidays this can take some time. Maybe even next year
I was about to open my tablet for a look inside one of these days, boy am I glad I didn't do that yet
Anyway to get a good view on this issue globally, are there more people that have the same issue?
You could go to: Settings > Developer options > and then under "Input" you can enable Show touches. and try to to the same procedure as in the vid. (Thanks Peterk-1)
Or you could test with MultiTouchTester like Injahnet.
The weird thing is, my dad's N7 16GB does the same.
Update 17-12-2012: Please do not test while plugged in as the device will be grounded and the issue will not occur. (Thanks dad)
Feedback is really appreciated!
Please vote in the poll above!
Cheers,
Daan

I have zero problems with multitouch while using my Nexus 7. Working just fine, but you must disable any apps which interfere with gestures or it'll steal events.
Can't say I've ever used multitouch with the N7 laying on a random object however.
But sure, send it in for repair......... I'll keep using mine.

If anyone thinks they have multi touch problems then loading an app isn't required. Just go into Developer Options and under Input you have two options to display touch and track detail.

At the moment of writing we know that three people are having this issue.

Yes, i have this problem. And only while device is laying on the table.

Wow, this is bizarre, thanks for pointing it out. I can confirm it happens when it's laying on my pillow, and doesn't when I'm holding it.

Thanks for the vote guys.
By the way, it seems obvious that the Nexus should not be plugged in while testing.
However I cannot test this 'cause mine is at the shop
Would anyone be willing to test?
I'll add that in the original post (+ a mention of your name and a thank you of course))
Cheers,
Daan

Mine was unplugged while testing.

Anyone try and see if taping the ground pin on the wifi antenna fixes the issue? This seams like a grounding problem.

Exactly! I was also thinking of this.
Do people who have this issue also have the flickering issue!?

ecoviws buttress
Just an FYI, I installed CM 10.1 with Trinty Seven. Now I get 10 touches on pretty much any surface.

I don't have a multitouch issue, but I do have an entire band on my screen which has stopped responding to touch at times. It all started when I let my tab shut down due to low battery. Initially, the Nexus 7 neither charged (when put on charging, obviously), nor did it boot up. After trying for several hours, somehow it started charging. And since then, sometimes certain areas of my touchscreen become unresponsive to touch. Since the band which is unresponsive is towards the upper part of the screen, using notifications becomes completely impossible. It keeps 'snapping back up' when I try to pull it down, cos while I am pulling it down, the notification tray encounters an unresponsive area, so it just goes back up. Called up Google and they will be sending a replacement device. All I am afraid about is that I have an 8gb version, and they would be sending an 8gb as well, so I hope it isn't refurbished or something, as Asus has stopped making the 8gig model.

I'm having an issue where the screen, ( mostly in a webpage or document,) starts moving up and down and zooming in and out without my input.

Asus Google Nexus 7 32GB touch death zone
Hi DaanJordaan,
Found out that my brand new N7 seems to have a similar "no touch zone" issue; an area the size of my little finger on the left lower part of my screen does not seem to react to touch! It interferes with typing the keyboard in portrait mode (no keyboard problems in up-side-down portrait mode).
When I use the Easylabs Multi Touch test I can see the dot changing color when I move over this area, doesn't happen anywhere else on the screen..
Using the developer tools (turning on the two options that allows to show touch/leave a trail of touch) it becomes even more clear that this area does not react to touch! I can "paint" lines around the "no touch zone" (it actually splits into 2 touch areas using one finger around the "death spot"), and the "no touch zone" reveals itself by not showing any trail/history line of touch..
Oh yes, and it does not matter if I lay the N7 on the table, or hold it in my hand, the issue is always there.
Therefore I returned the N7 back to the MediaMarkt, and they will send it in for repairs...
I've got a bad feeling about this | - )
I am curious to hear about experiences with your N7, once you have it back!
I'll report mine here, in three weeks or so (that's the outlook...).
Cheers!

Z1 Touchscreen Issues

Does anyone have issues with the touchscreen skipping every once in a while? Occasionally, there is an area on the lower half of the screen that seems to be insensitive, but if you start touching around it, it goes back to normal.
I've discussed this with some fellow Z1 owners and it appears to be a relatively common issue. There is some discussion that it may be due to overheating or a software issue.
Anyone else have this problem?

Had this once while my device overheated hard(~47-48°).
Not sure if I have to be concerned about that, because otherwise it works fine.

Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

At first I thought it was an issue with crappy screen protectors. The Z1 already has a anti-crack film on the screen so I thought that adding a poorly made screen protector would create too much distance from my touch to the sensor. However, I've tried replacing the screen protector and also asked other people with varying brands of screen protectors and it seems that the issue still persists.
The issue seems to occur most often on the password screen for me (which is particularly annoying).

I've had it too, lower half of screen does not register slides on login screen for a brief moment.. No overheat!
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk

No overheat here 2 but with the same issue.
Also the last days i think that all the screen sometimes is more insensitive than usual.I have to touch 2-3 times to do what i want.
I think that is a hardware issue.

Have it sometimes as well sadly! Can't figure out when exactly it's happening though..
I find it very annoying when I'm scrolling and at the bottom part of the screen, the scrolling becomes a click, which brings me to a place I did not intend to go to. Hope it's software, but can't imagine that.

Happens to me as well, regardless of device temperature. Based on the seemingly random nature of the issue, it should be a simple fix via software update. A similar bug persisted on the 2013 Nexus 7 devices when you laid them flat on a surface.

I think is a hardware issue. When you touch the alu frame the phone works fine. If the phone is on the table or in a cover the issue are immediately there.
Sorry for my bad english. Hope you understand

I noticed some small things and thought it was me but I guess this makes sense.
Could be worse, my previous Note 3 had multitouch issues and had problems register several fingers :silly:

Considering how common the issue appears to be, I find it hard to believe that this is a hardware issue.
I also don't believe it's related to overheating since it seems to happen even when I haven't used the phone at all for a long time.
It feels like a software issue to me since the issue sends to go away if you touch another section of your screen

I am having the exact same issue. The weird thing is, is that it doesn't always fail to register my finger. I've gone a few days without it, then suddenly it's back again. Also in the Xperia Diagnostics app I could then see the phone failing to register a proper line, then 20 seconds later it's gone. Weird thing indeed.

Yes, I have it as well.. First of all though, to reply to a lot of people on this thread, it happens regardless of "flat surface, touching the frame, overheating", or anything else. It seems to be completely random with me. Sometimes everything is perfect, then it goes nuts for no apparent reason whatsoever. I'm almost sure it's a software issue, and hope sony will address this issue soon!

it also happens sometimes to me.
the only thing that helps is to touch the ground of the ac power socket. it seems like the screen needs much more potential difference between the pointer and the screen itself and after a while of using it the pointer (you and your fingers) are more loaded.
thats my theory to it.

I'd you're using pie then stop using it and retry the affected area. I had this issues because of the activation area causing certain keys on the keyboard to become non responsive.

Touchscreen issues

I've experienced some serious touch issues in the past two days. It's happened very randomly and I can't replicate the issues. The screen losses touch sensitivity and I can't do anything, then it randomly comes back after 10 seconds only to animate every touch I made during the 10 second lull.
Has anyone had any touch issues like me?

Edit: disregard this post. got the forums mixed up with another device.

Have you updated to 5.1? Since 5.1, there were significant changes that appear to have been made to proximity sensor that seem to be affected by any sort of screen protector that may cover it. If your protector covers the sensor, then I suggest removing it.

I haven't. I currently have the notification on my lockscreen (since I can still use the power button and view that basic info). It simply just stopped working while I was using it. Going into the Sprint store early this afternoon

My N6 arrived yesterday and was immediately unusable. The keyboard filled in a ton of garbage when I was asked to first enter my name ... Power cycled to try again and have had nothing but reliability issues with typing at times the screen will lock while trying to type (no response) or assume I've clicked when I haven't which makes accurate data entry impossible.
wiped, reset and upgraded software from 5.0 to 5.01 to 5.1 - had to remove my ATT sim which initially blocked this process and reset. Issues are still present seems like the screen is defective.
Support has issued an RMA to return the device after suggesting they would replace. Not a great start.

im having the same issue with my nexus, i went back to stock, not even rooted anymore, still doing it, its driving me nuts..

RMA. It's quite obvious you have a hardware problem.

Although we're in an pls thread, I tend to agree. If it was a hardware issue, I don't think we'd see the OS acting out the touches later.. It means the hardware actually accepted the input but the OS didn't do any thing., Likely an OS hang or something.

Ghost touches

This is a pretty big issue that blue up on the OnePlus forum and Reddit. People are experiencing ghost touches in apps. It's very easy to also experience this by opening cpu-z and letting it sit there for a minute or two not doing anything. It seems not everyone is experiencing this though. I have tested and do experience it. Do you?

Yup. Mine does with cpu-z open. what do we do?

Depends if it's a hardware or software issue. Personally I already submitted a return request with OnePlus.

I just cancelled my order.. hopefully there is a software fix for you guys

This only happens to me on cpu-z and not in any other app. So I guess a future software update is gonna fix it.

Left it for a minute and didn't notice anything. On 9.5.3, bootloader unlocked and patched boot image with root.

I haven't experienced in a few days, it was happening a lot until I disabled pretty much all gestures.

I installed CPU-Z just to check on my International 8GB/256 model and I've got no issue with ghost touches. Not sure what is causing this for you all, but I do hope it is sorted out for you all.

When I turned off NFC the issue went away for me glad I don't use it whatsoever haha

Well that's not a solution disabling a useful feature to not have ghost touch issue.
On screen/off screen gesture are one of my favorite using it, so not a solution to me.
Simple will return the device.
I haven't order yet but i will next couple of days.
There's many reports across oneplus forum.
https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/...ros-are-suffering-phantom-touch-input-issues/

I left CPU-Z running for at least 10 mins.
And all is OK. Maybe it's a rouge program or something to do with the unlock\twrp?
The only way to be sure is to reset to stock and only install CPU-Z

Wow that's seems real bummer.
Why would OP use Novatek display controller since had bad reputation and bad track record.
So the question is how do we know if all that units effected having all of the them Novatek display controller?
Or if there's another supplier for those units that don't have that issue.
Man things are getting much worse if it's hardware related and not software that I thought.

Sent from my GM1913 using Tapatalk

I've started yesterday experiencing that ghost touchs and also screen not responsive to touch in some panel sections (mostly the upper right zone). The phone didn't gave me that problem since I bought. I noticed when this happening, pulling the notification bar down to the tile settings makes that zone work again. Same thing happened when that random ghost touchs happens.

Didn't had any problems, don't use NFC, tried turning it on, ghost touches started appearing on cpuz, but not on other apps. As i don't use NFC i probably won't return the phone.

I just tried with CPU-Z and a few seconds after starting the app, the screen turns crazy tapping here and there. Can confirm also disabling NFC solves it.

Turning off nfc or not using gestures or not using cpuz app is just temporary solution.
And there's multiple reports that ghost issues happening other app too.
And we never know if thing get worse over time.
I'm afraid it's a more common issue than we thought but many users simple didn't notice it until now.
Oneplus should clearly take attention on that issue seriously and fix it ASAP.
Shouldn't be happening at all with any kind app or scenario of usage.
