Lots of ghost touch issues on brand new s20fe Snapdragon - Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers

So, when i cross more than 3 fingers horizontally in screen, it goes haywire (even starting to take screenshots by itself), it was purchased not even a week ago, and is updated to the last version. Also, it doesn't have any screen protector installed. Is this a trouble with my unit in specific or -still- a common issue? I tried to replicate the issue in my s9+ and on a s20 ultra from a friend and none of them showed this.
Your browser is not able to display this video.

it's the panel that was used for this phone, I've heard another phone that shares the same panel also has this issue. if people are being honest then it's not every single phone or panel, not by a long way. but those who have this problem won't get a software fix for it!

[Q] What is wrong with my camera?

Hello,
I have a brand new HTC One, and the camera is acting weird.
As a video is worth a thousand words, I managed to capture the problem and put it on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqRLqJZ89g0
As you can see, the camera randomly clicks as it looks like it tries to focus or something. The clicks are very loud too. It does so in full daylight as well, randomly, I could not determine a pattern.
Also, there is a pinkish halo on the center of the screen, at times, but it might be a different issue.
Did anyone else experience this?
In the meantime, the phone is being swapped today, but I wonder if this is an isolated problem or not.
For what it's worth, it is a late april, Shanghai manufactured model, unbranded, gray, bought at a retail store in France.
It may be your one Zoe should be fixed. Try not to move around very quickly. If the problem remains, send it to HTC customers support.

Touch Screen Issues

I've started to have touch screen issues the past few days.
Any idea what may cause it?
Sometimes, when I touch the screen, say in settings, I touch one item, but a different item is selected somewhere randomly on the screen.
Happens in TWRP as well. If I select options to wipe, it will select others, and then it doesn't swipe over to execute the action.
No ideas? What would make touches appear where I don't touch, even on TWRP?
I tried the keyboard calibration on HTC's keyboard.
Any ideas? Screen protector?
It comes and goes.
I can't believe no one else is having this issue now.
I don't do stupid things with my phone, like drop it, put it in my pocket and sit on it, and wash it with soap and water.
Since I've started running Lollipop, it appears that my case is causing this issue. I've never had this problem before.
However, I updated my wife's phone to Lollipop Sense and now she is having the same issues with a different case.
Take the cases off, and they work more responsively.
I can only chalk this up to being a Lollipop issue, and hope it will be fixed soon.

I opened another thread about a similar issue I'm having after Lollipop. My gesture launch randomly stops working and I have to reboot. No other issues for me though. I have an anti-glare screen protector on mine, but had no issues before the update. I've thought about a factory reset to see if that would cure what ails.
I'm on tmo but have the same exact issues. This is what i've found so far...
I turned on the developer options and turned on show pointer. This will show you where the touches are landing.
If you scroll down slowly, you can see most of the touches are in line (up and down) and not random on the screen.
I've removed all programs that have screen overlays (screen filter, twilight etc)
I've removed the cases thinking they might be causing the issue, but removing them only slightly improved the issue I thought...
Sometimes its hard to reproduce the effect, its not consistent. So this leads me to believe that it could be a process that's running in the background that calls attention at the moment you're touching the screen, and then refocuses the screen to your point of contact. And in between it thinks you're moving your finger when you really aren't.
In any event, I can't find the exact cause of this. But, it definitely started after the update to lollipop. I had none of these issues before. I even got the phone exchanged because I believed the digitizer went bad or something. But this issue exists on my original phone, its replacement, and now on my wife's current phone and that phones replacement (across 4 phones).
I'm currently working on my wife's replacement (4 or 5 non-oem programs installed) and continue to have the problem. But it is not consistent as I can't readily reproduce it.
What i've done to try and learn more is when I see the screen pointer light up in random places, I keep pressure on the screen so I can observe where the screen is registering contact. It almost looks as if it's trying to pull down the shade. Whether it be because of the dual points of contact and it thinks we're swiping down, or because of another program that is stealing focus for whatever reason.
If anyone else has insights into this, please let us know as this is more than frustrating! I keep calling people in hanouts with a lot of people and they aren't happy about it lol.
Also for reference, we're using ADW ex launcher instead of Stock HTC Sense. But even when I remove ADW (uninstall) and run sense, it continues to happen. So it's not that.

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.

Touch screen unresponsive at the very bottom

All of a sudden the lower part of display (about 7 mm) has become unresponsive to touch which means no more gestures (swipe up to get to home screen is not working) e struggle to use the classic navigation buttons.
Sadly I had the same issue in my mi5 but in that case phone had the issue since the unboxing.
I'm starting thinking the xiaomi touchscreen tend to be more fragile than others.
Now I'm waiting for gearbest support.
Anyone has any advice or similar experience?

Regarding Xiaomi Quality
While climbing into my truck, I dropped my Mi8 from a height of about 4 ft on accident and it landed flat on its face , on the concrete. Freaked out, I left it laying their for about a minute fearing that the screen had been smashed into a million pieces. However, I picked it up to see that it was fine, and not a single scratch. So I immediately went out and bought the Love Mei 360 case.
Anyway, regarding your touch issue, you should really provide more some information about how this issue came about, what rom were you using, did the phone get wet, etc.
Also, I had an issue with my Mi8 soon after unlocking the bootloader where the top part of the screen would not register my touches, I first tried recalibrating the screen using Miui hidden settings app, the test is called QMMI ( I think) and if I remember correctly there are several menus of testing that also calibrate the screen for me this worked and for good measure I reinstalled a Miui rom and havent had the issue since.
Try it, hopefully that is the only issue. If you are using a AOSP. It's possible that you have a driver issue. So before sending the phone off for service its worth testing.. If you are on stock and still have a locked bootloader, I would try resetting the phone before trying anything else.
Good Luck.
Some gravedigging, but the question is still on the table - have you managed to fix it?

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.
