Pixel 4a 5G Touch Screen Intermittent Lost Issues - Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers

Do any of you guys experience these phantom touches after triggered it in certain region on the screen?
As described in the video:

Yes I've been having intermittent issues with scrolling. Not sure about region, but the phone will register a tap sometimes as I drag along the screen. What app are you using there? Edit: saw you added it to the YouTube comments.
P.s. it may be related to region AND length for me. Won't start acting up till I've gone around the screen a few times.

I had this problem too. Removed tempered glass and it was fine.

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.

sounds like a software glitch, is anything eating up the processor?
I'm on LRX210 out of the box. I haven't had any battery stat app running but nothing unusual is going on in the regular battery app
I have this issue as well. Drives me nuts when I'm playing clash of clans. Found a sprint forum post that says it could relate to screen protectors? I have an invisible shield on right now.

I have a screen protector but I've never had issues with it before. The touchscreen is COMPLETELY unresponsive 100% of the time

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.

I'm actually not so sure that it is. I've seen this issue intermittently across 3 different devices, but only on 5.1.1 firmwares.

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.

Screen Pressure

Under circumstances it seems that I have to press a bit stronger my finger needs to be exactly over something so it will recognize the click. I am not sure if this is a sensitivity issue or some sort of setting. Has anyone experience that behaviour

Do you have a screen protector on the device? The issue may be with the screen protector. Most full coverage tempered glass protectors for this device have adhesive only around the frame, meaning the glass isnt adhered to the display's viewing area and only hovers over the display, affecting touch sensitivity.

I don't have any screen protector, but I also felt some times (not often so far) the clicks are not registering. I am coming from samsung note 3 which I am used to (with screen protector).

Thats strange! As far as I know, no one has reported any issues with touch sensitivity. It may be some app incompatibility. What ROM are you on?
I'm on the EU ROM with Nova launcher and haven't experienced any such issues.

I am on vendor global ROM, waiting for unlock request to be accepted. Hope once I go to EU ROM I will not have any of the pressure issues.
Sir go to settings/about phone click kernel version several times you will enter test mode there you can test touch sensor! Maybe helpful to check
I have noticed sensitivity issues too. Sometimes it seems I don't even have to touch the screen for it to register and other times it doesn't register at all. Probably software issue just like the S7 Edge had when it was released. It was far worse on the S7 Edge but I can still notice it from time to time on this phone too.
From the beginning, I've been sofering lacks of sensitivity on my touch screen (eg. dragging the finger the screen loses the touch and get it again simulating a normal press: try to play Angry Birds without losing the bird while pulling it).
Another issue is dragging with velocity has more accuracy rather than dragging slow where movement has less precision, skipping pixels. Tested in "Hardware tests" screen (*#*#64663#*#*) and in games.
Model: Mi Mix 256 Gold - ROM: MXB48T (bougth in Spain).
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Had similar issues on STOCK ROMs, but not on LOS builds.
Same issue
Just to chime in, I've been having problems from day 1 with touch as well. Clicking is something I have to try multiple times usually, since the device often registers my clicks as drags . This never happened on my Nexus 5. And when I'm playing a game or turning a page on a book, the slide gets interrupted and turns into a click. Very annoying. I'm on MXB48T 6.0.1 Mi Mix 4GB/128 edition

Touch Issue

I am using one plus 3T last 18 days. It is one of the greatest phone i had ever seen. i am very happy with the phone but my problem is about touch sensitivity or touch problem. From the very beginning i download an app from play store which name is screen touch test. i saw that when i draw a line any where or normally draw something, every where it works fine i mean touch is perfectly registering but only when i touch right corner to the down side then it not respond. I have to touch there several times then it shows dot in apps but other corners dot are showing perfectly when touched. but if i draw a line from that corner or any where then it respond immediately. sometimes this corner works well. i never installer curved glass but using Nillkin H+ pro tempered glass. i bought it from china and am from Bangladesh. is it a software problem or hardware if hardware then i have to go for good shop. but it is not possible for me to go china. please revise my problem its urgent.
How is the touch working without a screen protector?
Are you actually seeing this problem in real day-to-day usage, or just the screen test app? Wondering if it's a case of looking for problems where they might not exist . . .
I never used without screen protector
No actually i think this problem will not be affected for others but some time when i touched that place it not respond. but if it is a problem then i should know because for this problem i think it could be affect my display. Thank you for this response.
Well, assuming you have similar problems in any app. And it's not just the testing app that sees this.
You have to test without the screen protector to eliminate it as a cause to your problem.
If it's the same without any protector attached then my guess is your touch screen is faulty.
But I would still start with a clean install to see if that fixes the problem since that is a less time consuming and cost free troubleshooting step, than sending it in for repairs and having them find out a reinstall fixed it.
But my question is if my screen is faulty then why it response when i draw lines but only create problem when that area is being touched. but if start touch from place and come to this point then it also works fine.

Anyone experiencing touch issues?

I've been having a problem with my taps registering. Sometimes when clicking an icon, link or anything that requires a tap, it takes me several attempts for it to register.
Looking around, I see some other complaints on the Members app and Reddit related to screen responsiveness. In addition to my issue, people are also complaining about pinch to zoom, swipes and phantom presses.
Anyone else having problems?
I was having issues with a swipe registering as a quick touch and sometimes not registering touch at all. The update 10/2 from T-mobile seems to have resolved this for me.
Yeah I'm having a few issues with this phone. The phone seems to lag and stutter when scrolling, when it shouldn't. I like to use Lawnchair launcher, but for some reason on this phone my recents menu lags when using a 3rd party launcher. I haven't noticed any touch issues though. I have the unlocked model from Best Buy.
I have a TG screen protector not touch issues att all. I did do the update tho sho not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Do you have the unlocked version?
I have touch issues on mine. I have the Sept 1 update which I believe is the latest update. Sometimes touches don't register or swipes won't work. It's horribly annoying. If it can't be fixed with another update I will have to return it. I just want to confirm this is a touchscreen issue and not Samsung's software bring laggy ( I typically use pixel phones).
I have the factory unlocked version and have noticed a little bit of strangeness with scrolling as well. Unfortunately there isn't a day one patch on the unlocked version.

No T-mobile version.
I have the T-Mobile version and have noticed it. Sometimes not registering and sometimes super sensitive. Trying to drag things around has been unpleasant.
Got the unlocked model from Best Buy, and have not had any issues. Loving it.
I have the sprint version and currently not using a screen protector. It is way too sensitive for my liking. I'm constantly barely touching things and disrupting what I'm trying to do. Maybe once my screen protector arrives it'll help a bit.
I'm definitely getting ghost touches. I'll be scrolling in FireFox for example and all of a sudden it wants to zoom in instead of scroll which is so weird.
I might have to return the phone at this point. $600 is still a lot of money for this to be happening.
I have too issues with touch.
It is very diffucult yo select a line of text, make zoom on images le select an icon in home screen.
My version is from Amazon EU.

I always take the screen protector off, I hate them, but leave increased sensitivity on, screen is silky smooth as a result

Having random touch issues here as well. As others have mentioned, swipes at times register as regular touch instead of swipes. Seeing some choppy performance when scrolling at times as well.
I've been getting ghost touch issues (where things just go crazy, not just a random touch) about once a day since the second day. Sometimes I have to reboot to make it stop. It seems to most often (but not always) start happening if I am in a game and I swipe in from the edge to see the status bar.
I've not had the scrolling-type issues that most people are complaining about.
I just tried turning the high sensitivity off to see if that helps.

TMobile variant here with the September 1st patch, and increased sensitivity on, and factory screen protector removed.
I get the same thing - phantom touches and sometimes it takes multiple attempts to touch something on the screen.
This thread needs a poll, with "everything is fine here", "i have touch issues" and "i don't have the device" option, to see a coarse estimation how widespread this thing it.
I also have touch and zoom issues

Question Touch Issues

Is any One Facing Touch Issues on Moto edge 20 pro device.
Check 987043122 post on the topic about Gpay, he talks about touch issue on Chinese model.
I bought mine in Australia and have the same issue. ehhh... Going to be a pain if I am going to have to go through warranty and all.
Hmmm... Just tested my own device (Edge S Pro) and couldn't reproduce the issue with Touch Screen Test app. Swipes near front camera (hole) work without any apparent issue. I'm using a GSI by the way and I didn't test this on stock FW before flashing (since the issue was not known at that time)...
Though I think if you're using a screen protector (including the built-in one) it'll definitely cause some issues when swiping near the front camera as there would be a hole around it.
Don't know if Google has guidelines that apps should not avoid displaying near the "notch" area, but some games on Play Store do put borders around the screen to maintain a 16:9 aspect ratio (which may not be the same as avoiding) so they're not affected as there would be nothing to press/swipe near the front camera. I recall having read that at one point Apple did have such guidelines (not sure how it is now).
I've just purchased one and I think I'm having issues when using the keyboard. Notice few times.
I'm having issues with my device.
Swiping from right hand side of the lower quarter of the screen, sometimes I get no respons.
Touch issues on the edge 20 and Pro is widely known, and known by Motorola. There is a software release that solves it ending with Q3-19-86 for the edge 20 pro.
It has started to rollout. I have recieved it, and it solves my problems, even with tempered glass applied (where the troubles was most visible before)
Motorola has added a function (under screen settings- advanced) to improve touch screen sensitivity when using glass protector + Optimized other touch related code.
Can't wait for the update...also having the problem with touch, in auto mode as well as 144hz. It is dependent on the brightness of the screen - most likely to occur when above 70% (which for this phone is alot of the time), and I found that temporarely it is fixed if I turn the screen off and on again. The problems are sluggish response to touch, right swipe not working, ghost touches on link that I scrolled over, bunch of stuff opening up unwantedly, typing produces multiple same characters. Hope it is fixed, I really like this phone apart from that.
