Disable the touchscreen?? Then how you gonna use your phone?
Sorry but if spen is working then how is touchscreen disabled.... This is a bizarre question indeed.

I don't want to disassemble body and disconnect touch sensor.
Maybe software solution? No?
I'm sorry, but don't understand why you would want to?? It would leave the phone inoperable.
Spen works on the principles of capacitive touch, passing a current through to a layer of the screen. You can't disabled touch without totally disabling it without some custom advanced tweaking that would recognise minimal interaction of the spen vs finger.

he wants to disable only touchscreen, not the spen sensor.
Try to set your touch sensitivity to 0.
It is possible to do this.... I had the korean version of the Note Version 1.. now i have the Note 2 international version and it doesnt have the option to disable the touchscreen... Im guessing you want to disable it because you want to draw on your screen and not let your hand affect your drawing when your hand touches the screen....
can anyone help of a hack maybe a hardware button to disable and enable it?

My touch screen as completely gone bonkers to the point where it is difficult to use, and I'm very curious if this is possible. I assume this is possible like the OP because the S-pen uses a separate wacom digitizer as far is I understand and not the capacitive digitizer. Please correct me if I wrong.
I know my issue is with the the capacitive one because the last rom I was using didn't support the S-Pen and I was having the same issue. My touch issue, I'm certain is hardware and not afford-ably fixable. I would like to disable it and just use the s-pen if at all possible to hold me over till galaxy s4 comes out.
Maybe if you use an app to reduce it's sensitivity to a point that it won't work anymore.

I mean seriously watching this video the buttons don't even vanish when you're in an app. I mean seriously how did Google think this was a good idea? Means you just hit them all the time or you have to be really careful where you touch and they don't change to which way you hold the phone.
How hard is it to A. Use that massive bottom part of the Bezel with Hardware buttons or B. Have some kind of gesture to hide them? I don't care if there is some rooted app out there, it needs to be standard, I just don't get how Google have overlooked this. People keep making a case that software buttons are better because you can change them....... have they ever changed? They've been the same standard design since I started using Android and whocares if they change in the future? I'm using my GS2 and the buttons work fine, just because they look different doesn't mean they have less functionality.
this may come off as I'm defending the Nexus 4 mindlessly but I'm not a huge fan of touch screen gaming. The whole reason I got the Evo Shift instead of a higher end phone was for the keyboard so I could play my games the way I like. I actually just bought a PS3 controller for my phone but I have to wait until Sixaxis Controller updates for 4.2. Though of course it doesn't work with most app store games, but I don't really enjoy playing those anyways

This is not a Google problem, this is an ap developer problem. They can design the game to function like you want but they choose not to. Blame them, not Google.

The whole point is to create the "physical button feeling" yet have them flexible for different apps. I think its a great idea! Physical buttons are annoying and are locked into doing only one function. Getting rid of the navigation buttons is like telling apple to get rid of the app dock at the bottom of their phone..... that's the way it was designed for the majority of users. If you don't like it then find a way to change it....you can its Android.
Dude chill... the software buttons are just another method like capacitive touch buttons..just incorporated into the screen. jus look at the specs of the nexus 4 as it has a 4.5 inch screen... if u cant live with that and want a bigger screen then fine move on and get the one x+ or something that has 4.7 inch screen plus capacitive touch buttons.unless you want THEM to disappear in an app too...
If we are going to complain about button placement can we not start with developers persistence with placing menu buttons at the top of most apps! They either have long fingers or small phones. I found this annoying on my SGS1 and very annoying on my Note 2, for obvious reasons. IMO Boat Browser is one of the few browsers that have placed the menu and navigation buttons in a sensible place.
I'm actually a big fan of the software buttons. This is one of the reasons I changed from the OneX to the Nexus4.
There are so many more interface possibilities with the software buttons, and as mentioned earlier the software devs need to make their apps more aware of their presence.
I haven't had to used on screen buttons with my gnex for about 10 months now and same with my Nexus 7 since I got it. There's a way to remove the on screen buttons by modding the res-framework apk. It's as simple as finding the option and and changing it then recompiling the new apk and pushing it to your phone.
Not sure if it's still this simple since I haven't had to do it for a while now that there are a few roms with the option to remove the Nav buttons. I would try if I had the Nexus 4 but that might not be for an while now.
I'm sure this feature will be included in nexus 4 roms too just be patience. I'm the meantime you can check out LMT, its a nav button alternative that uses pie menu that disappears when not in use.
If done right, the on-screen buttons are actually great.
If there are no dedicated buttons. they could either make the screen bigger, or remove the bezel on the bottom of the device, making it significantly smaller.
Also, there needs to be an option to hide them manually whenever you want, whether the application supports hiding the buttons or not. I know that there are such features in CM10 and other custom ROMs, but this needs to be a default feature on any device with on-screen buttons.
I like the buttons and they are not visible when viewing full screen video. That to me is when I care most about the screen space.

I love the buttons. Looks so much better than actual hardware buttons.

A lot of us like the onscreen buttons. If you don't, get another phone. Most don't have them. Those of us that like onscreen buttons have like 2 options, you have 100000. If Google puts capacitive buttons on the next Nexus because of whiners like you, I'm gonna be really upset.
I would have preferred hard buttons and a full 4.7 screen. Similar to the One X. There are only 3 phones with on screen buttons. Most game devs are gone make thier games for the biggest market which is hard button phones.

So am I. It makes navigating through the system easier and a lot smoother. Just like the multitasking icon, you don't have to press and hold like in the galaxy s phones for example. Also OP, the software keys disappear when you watch a vid, YouTube etc.... And you mentioned that they should use the bottom bezel, well that's where the notification light is.

Nope. There's lots. The two Nexus, all the new Motos, Sony have started using them (Xperia T), Asus Padfone uses them too.
I hate people like op. If you know that this device has on screen buttons - and you should know this by now because there was galaxy nexus with same buttons- why the fcuk did you buy it in the first place? The whole spec sheet is there, all the info about the phone is written down... I knew it has glass back I knew it has non removable battery or no SD card or friggin buttons. Don't complain if you know what you're buying

The worst thing about this phone is its ability to attract users like the OP who don't bother to look at what they are getting and then to come in here on XDA and create the most ridiculous threads. I hate that about this phone. Anyone know a fix?

At first I thought it would bother me coming from a Gs2 Skyrocket but really it looks so much better. It does make it so much easier to navigate and if you don't like em we have all the best devs migrating to the N4 so I'm sure we will have many different setup options soon. I'm loving the stock right now though buttery smooth.

I change my buttons all the time. Google may not, but I like my menu and search button. I much prefer on screen buttons.

anyone know if this is hardware defect? the touch screen swiping is not that fluid right?
Settings/Developer Options and turning on a setting called “Show Pointer Touches” and checking the value at the top of the screen associated with “Prs”. Normal Android devices such as my Galaxy S III register touches as light as 0.12. The minimum I can achieve on the Nexus 4 is 0.48. Sliding my finger across the screen allows it to drop as low as 0.26, but on the Galaxy S III I can register under 0.10.

is this true or false
It is true. The touch sensitivity is much more less than other phones in the market. If you're coming from the S3 or the iPhone than you'll notice a big difference.
However, I have since gotten used to the sensitivity and have no problems now.

I find this happens intermittently and a reboot or restart of the launcher fixes it.

Those numbers mean nothing on this type of screen according to another post on this same topic. Do a search if interested.
I have no issues with my nex 4 even sensitivity but I heard on an android podcast that this type of display had the actual display in front of the touch screen or whatever it is called. This makes the display look closer and nicer but effects touch sensitivity according to those guys and a couple posters. It makes sense to me but I have not noticed any issues myself.

I hadn't thought about the ambient display causing problems like this. I guess it's a concern we should all be aware of. I'd rather not use a pin code to keep this from happening.
Anyone else concerned about this?

I turn on password protection. So if if an accidental press wouldn't bother me.
I never use any extra lock screen protection myself. So I'm kinda concerned.

Not near enough to discourage me from this phone but still slightly annoying to know it could be an issue.

I'd be surprised if folks at Google didn't used proximity sensor to filter noises like this.
Not an issue for me. Never keep phone in pocket but rather death grip on rt hand.

The face detection is an option. I think I read it will work in the background while ur swiping the unlock. I plan on trying it out.
Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk
I wonder how much this would affect battery life. Even with a password to prevent unintended calls, opening apps, etc. it would still cause the screen to turn on more often.
From what I understand, ambient display could be turned off. Although I would think that would be the last thing I do. But let's say for kicks that you did turn it off. How would it work without it?

Someone on Reddit posted today that the update that went out yesterday/today fixed the pocket dialing issue. I haven't seen anything official yet or had enough opportunity to test the statement though.
That's interesting. I wonder what changed to fix it. That is, if that's correct.

I've raised this as an issues on Android's issue tracker:

From day one with this device, when I touch the screen to say launch an app from the drawer, I can be too quick or light about it. I've not had this issue with other devices, I am often tapping an option on the screen only to have to retap it for the phone to follow instructions. This doesn't seem to positive correlate with os version or rom or kernel.....so then assuming this isn't an issue specific to my device only....where does the issue lie and is it fixable?

If you happen to run stock rom without any kind of screen protectors on top the display and you still have these touch issues, i'm afraid it is a spesific issue with your device.
Hi all
I have a question regarding COD Mobile with Mi 9T Pro.
The issue i experience is that the touch input at some locations of the screen seems to be inconsistent. For example running, looking around and shooting works perfectly fine. These "buttons" are located somwhere in the middle of the screen. However all the buttons that are located at the lower end (landscape) of the screen seem to be hit and miss. I sometimes need to press up to 3 times until the action is activated.
Now im wondering if this is phone related or a COD mobile issue. Does anyone else have this issue?
Btw i had this issue on stock and on custom roms.
Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, i have one installed. Actually I can not with complete certainty tell you if i had the same issue already before applying the protector.
But in general use i do not experience any touch issues outside of the game.
Do you think it might be worthwile to remove and retest?

i am also having the same thing, when i want to start a match with right thumb( on right corner)- it exhibits that touch issue, but while playing it doesnt.. i need to touch 3-4 times to Start
for reference i have - glazed tempered glass, Indian variant
I have the same issue. my friend has the same issue.
Multiple other k20p users have the same issue in the same place. So have others with other phones as well.
(None of us use a screen protector)
It's a COD issue. It's not optimised for some phone screens.

Thats interesting! Thanks for the information. Do you know of any phones that are optimized for COD and don't have these issues?
Hi... Try this... In settings -> Special features -> Game turbo -> settings -> additional settings -> call of duty -> touch resistant area (set it to none)...
