Touchscreen or Software Issue? - Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories

Hi guys! I just upgrade from a Nexus 5 to S6 Edge. I am having an issue with this new phone not sure if it is affecting everyone or just me... :/
I am having an issue to swipe on some applications. One of the application is Swiftkey. I find it very hard to swipe to delete whole word. (You need to have Swiftly Flow disabled.) My music player (ZPlayer) i also hard it hard to swipe to skip songs as well. Is it just me or everyone is having this issue? I have used those touchscreen tester application and find my touchscreen to be fine.

Hey man, I'm having the same problem, definitely a software issue as I tested the screen via *#0*# and it's working.
Any updates on your end?

No solution so far but just living with it... I am surprised that this matter is not noticed by many users yet. :/

Had a problem with swipes being interrupted and taps registering multiple times. Got the screen replaced through warranty and the problem is gone. The problem seemed to be caused by pressure making the digitizer make contact with some other part causing erratic touch response.

screen responsiveness problem

Every couple of days I have a problem with the screen becoming VERY unresponsive. It seems to affect the whole screen and requires touching characters on the keyboard, web buttons, app icons, etc. multiple times before the touch is registered. The problem persists until I reboot the device.
I haven't rooted yet or otherwise modded it at all, but maybe I have a poorly optimized app running? Haven't tried to capture a logcat yet either (and frankly wouldn't know what I was looking at).
Has anyone else experienced something like this?
Thanks!

Looks like mine is suffering something similar to the problems discussed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779652
I also have this issue. Was able to reproduce with multi touch tester apps. When I cross axis the touch points freak out. I think it's a grounding issue. If I touch the headphone jack or have headphones in the issue goes away. Called in a RMA request yesterday. Hope this issue isn't present in the next device.

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.

Well... Over 200 views. And only 4 votes, which includes mine
Community feedback is failing hard.
Anyway, I'll keep you guys posted on the repaired Nexus.
At the moment of writing we know that three people are having this issue.
I know someone else with a nexus I'll check if he has the issue too.
Cheers,

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.

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.

this isn't new and there is no fix, that is just how the touchscreen function. the N7 isn't the only device to have this.

You are kinda missing the point of this thread.

There is no thread capturing that in an easy way unless you want to count every post.
Now please tell your brain to start functioning again and leave this thread alone if you have nothing to add.
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!
NeverMind

The method of reproduce the touch screen problem is established. Confirm it!

1.Turn on your display and wake app like the paintsoft.
2.Put your Z1 onto a insulated one, like rubber sheet and your Z1 has to be naked.(without any cases)
3.Wait 30sec or more.
4.Draw a line, and during drawing, touch the side panel. Left side and right side should be touched by two fingers. and cover of microUSB port and sim port should not be touched.
5.About 70-80%, You can reproduce the problem.
The movie is here
http://youtu.be/CeAw17LrdKE
This problem may be caused by bad insulating.
But I don't know this problem is occurred in all Z1s.
This problem of touch panel can be occurred variable timings.
People who playing games or using pattern lock will recognize this problem easily. but difficult for who Not playing games or Not using pattern lock.
This method can detect the potential error of your Z1 it looks no problem.
Please test your Z1. and if the problem is reproduced, you should go to store and make a claim!
and replaced one if you get, please re-test and report here.

My Z1 also have this problem. After 40seconds i even didn't have to touch this two sides of phone.
For few weeks I never saw that problem on mine so I was not worry about it but today I tested few nice games and I realized that after a minute playing the game (Minimotor or HAWX) the virtual joystick stopping working. I have to retouch the joystick with my hand or take off my hand from the phone. All the time.
My question: this is a Hardware problem?

How it's possible the problem of the touch screen is because is too sensitive? I hope there is a solution via software but for there is some lack of insulated between the touch screen and the rest of the phone. That why when you touch the frame the touch respond very badly.

I think the screen react to very few electrostatic.like touching side panel.
so to make less sharp ,It will be ok. perhaps.

Actually, It is reported that replaced one has this issue too in Japan.
Sony don't recognize this issue yet!
I did a video by myself and I don't get it! Where is the problem? I mean where is the problem causing the touch screen failing to work. The only 1 thing what I am sure is if I leave the phone for 20, 30 seconds the issue show up with my touch screen with or without touch the aluminum frame.

I haven't as yet but I did notice that the touch screen issue I had where my finger / thumb would lose contact briefly with the screen.
Hasn't happened a lot and holding the metal frame fixes it.
What youre describing could be a knock on effect of the new firmware having a higher sensitivity to the previous firmwares, I know Sony were aware of the touchscreen issue that people were facing and there was a fix where you could alter the sensitivity of the touch screen.
Could be that your touchscreen is set too high for your device in particular, either that or it's a problem with the touchscreen or even some dirt.
Give it a good old clean and a few reboots.
All the above is speculation of course, just having a stab at it for you m8.
Not sure where that thread is about the touchscreen but it's definitely in the Z1 forum.

Actually Rooting can cause the issue because the Pre-Rooted version can be different from the original one installed on our phone.
After I received the phone from Repair they updated the Software and then I updated to .136 officially and the issue disappear, never had even a bit of it. Then I rooted, but to do so I used a different Base, NUT use the Frence region I think, and after that on mine .136 the problem with Touch Screen appear again, not badly, all is fine but sometime it skips something.
So I think it's really related to the Software and the all the phone have a specific Base.

Then it would be down to the rom and not the rooting process, rooting alone won't affect the touchscreen m8.

Of Course.
i have not experienced ghost touch but i did experience the screen failing to register two finger touch sometimes.
what i mean by that is when u quickly touch another part of the screen after its been touched it would register it as a swipe.
very annoying when typing keyboard or even pressing key pin on lockscreen.
i reproduced this in touch test and
once it registers as a faulty swipe while holding down the touch
it keeps registering swipe wherever the other finger presses untill i stop touching.
also when i installed a fresh rom it seems that the touch is very sensitive.
i tried this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2691849
its not a fix but it helps out.
I think i have drilled down to the cause for this issue.
1. I started mounting my phone on my motorbike and ride. Due to excessive vibration the screen might have started acting out.
2. I also read that x alert causes this.
I have locked bootloder and installed stock ROM. Lets see whats happens

Been trying to find that adjustment you can make for the touchscreen but can't find it. Its an adjustment of a file within android which deals with how sensitive the touch screen is. Buggered if I can find it though. I commented on it too. Eluded me.

I am unable to pin point the problem.
1. Its not bcoz of root/boot loader
2. Not bcoz of mouting it on my bike. Infact when i mount it, it functions normally.
3. Ghost touch worsens when i play clash of clans but it is there other times too.
So its either bcoz of over heating (games make the phone heat a lot) or water entered it or i am not sure.

I always surf the forums and check out what is happening, and this thread did catch my eye
I don't like to think that the touch screen issue is hardware related. I really hope it isn't.
Don't put your heart on this 'fix', as I have lost faith in it myself...
I'm going to post there now as well, to tell people what I have said here.

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.

It's extremely annoying it has happened to me a few times even when I was boasting about the new device to some colleagues at work. I thought it was me at first until then I read IRS an actual thing. I won't return it yet but I might if it's not sorted soon. It's extremely irritating.

Looks like ghost touches are related to NFC. Try with NFC turned off.

Can confirm. My Ghost touches seize when NFC is disabled.

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.
