Help, screen issues - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So ive had my g2 about two years now, its got is scratches and what not, but for the most part it functions well.
The largest issue is that sometimes when using the touch screen when i pull my finger away that area will stay activated like my finger is there. Happens a lot when using the on screen keyboard, and it seems to be getting a little worse.
Sometimes a good cleaning helps, but before long it comes back.
Anyone have the same experience, or able to recommend a fix.
Was thinking of doing a digitizer/screen replacement but figured id see if there were any experienced suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

since my phone is new I have this ''issue''.
I got it on the motorola milestone also.
But for me, the problem appear when I have sweaty hand ( stress or too much cofee). It looks like if I still press a key even if my finger is off.
My brother had the same problem on is galaxy SII , he put a plastic film (protective glass) and the problem is gone.
In inverse, if my fingers are too dry, the screen has difficulty to respond.
My solutions : wash my hans often, dont drink coffee, dont stress and wipe the screen on my jeans.

Thread moved to Q & A section, post in the relevant section next time.

Touch screen shaking when finger hold

Usually when I am browsing through a long list or web page, I hold my finger on the screen. Screen will shake rapidly at this time. I have tried 3 of them and all having the same problem. Any solution to fix it?

If you mean something like a small change on screen brightness ,you can try to set brightness to full.That seems to worked for me.

It might be a stupid suggestion, but when you hold your finger on the screen for more than 2-3 seconds, don't you start to mark the text? hence the screen picks up the minute shaking of your finger? If you move your finger without releasing the screen when it shakes I believe you start to mark text for copy/paste??
I might have misunderstood the problem entirely, so please be gentle
+1.
Got the same problem and looking for a solution.
The touch screen is really really bad i have a lot of problems with the touch screen. I don't know if it's software or hardware problem. SE doesn't say anything about this.
It's really annoying when playing games or typing really fast. it doesn't track your finger properly.
This has to take media attention so SE will be forced talk about it. i love that they are trying to be dev friendly at all. but this issue isn't making me happy.
I always do this when I browsing a long text and wanted to scroll slowly. The shaking problem always make me dizzy.
I also encounter problem with typing too.
probably a touch screen driver issue... it thinks your moving your finger up and down slightly when really it's stationary. just take your finger off of the screen when you want to read something. there's no need to have to keep your finger there anyways

It's not about putting your finger on the screen. there are serious problems with the touch screen. i made a youtube vids to show the problem
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwr0rFzCU4k
SE has to give answers about the problems i'm getting tired of the screen issues.
Try superpaint lite, it seems to be program's fault not the screen
I replied @ youtube and also putting it here. I tried it but it doesn't recognize if finger points switch to fast.
This also happens with all other apps and games like SE Launcher, Angry birds, taptap revolutions, GB keyboard ....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034319 here is also a thread
Just upgraded the firmware from SE and claimed to fix some bugs and improve stability. Nothing change for the touch screen issue. Don't know whether Sony didn't notice the problem or it's just an unfixable hardware defect.

The problem with touch screen depends on how you touch as well...
If you touch by your thumb with full finger touch, the sharking will occur, the more area that your finger attach to the screen mean more sharking
now change your habit, touch the screen with only by the edge of your finger or with your smaller finger the screen will hold stable.
Their a limit area of your finger attach to the screen so that the screen will keep stable, over that limit area the screen will sharking.

Zoom in?
I got a lot of this when browsing too. Esp. with opera, if I need to open it in new tab, I need a long press on link. And often if the icon/text isn't bigger than my finger touch size, the screen will shake.
Unfortunately, the best way I found is to zoom in.
hmmmm...
It's so sad that we need to change our behavior to coop with a device that supposed to make our life easier.
I find that all the embeded apps provided by SE do not have the shaking problem. I guess SE do know about the issue so they made some tweat on them.
My finger tips are quite larger (as I play bowling).

Its the stupid, thick, shatter proof film thats making touch functions go crazy. Peel that crap off your screen and the device will work as intended.
I had the same issue with my x10, because the film does not allow for a good connection between your finger and the screen, the screen detects multiple touches.
I removed the film (Thats does not protect against scratches and is actually more prone to them) and the screen was absolutely PERFECT.
Does HTC need a shatter proof film on their Mineral Glass? NO so neither does the Arc, just remove that junk and put a good screen protector on it.

HTC One x screen shattered

Hi Guys,
First post post and its a sad one.
Word of warning to some of you guys with the one x.
I had some major screen issues when i first got my device (preordered) and i spoke to htc about the issues i was having flickering, green lines, touch issues and all the heat that the phone was generating.
I was in the cinema the other night and was texting during the copious and irrelevant adverts that accompany any film and i turned to speak to my friend and when i pressed the unlock button i discovered my screen had shattered.
I dont know wether this was a one off manufacturing error or wether it was related to the issues i was having before but a word of warning as i dont want it happening to someone else as it has taken me a while to get a new phone issued. Mine will be going to HTC for investigation no doubt. Thankfully my retailer was reasonable in the end, and when they found out i had already reported a screen fault to HTC the imediately offered a swap out.
Its not a shatter from any particular point, it just seemed to shatter from the middle out.
Before anyone comments saying you must have pressed too hard, i use my fingers for pointing and touching and dont yell "by the power of greyskull" before using my phone.
So if you are still having banding, or non responsive screen issues of anykind be careful. I hope this is a one off, but if it hapens to someone else at least you know your not the only one.
Pressure from the pocket maybe. Ive worked in the mobile industry for 8 years and have never known a screen to pop so to speak. Very strange. Could be an assembly issue with the glass slightly over sized but would still need a knock to set it off.

maybe he dropped it and wants to believe he didn't
another cracked screen
My screen cracked when I performed a rather bad magic trick by putting my phone in my front pocket and when I took it out the screen was cracked. To say I was disappointed would be a bit of a understatement.
On contacting HTC they now say that as I unlocked the boot loader not only do I have to pay for a new screen ( I would argue any phone that cant be put in a pocket of your trousers with out cracking is not fit for purpose ) but worse as I had unlocked the bootloader that I would have to pay for a new mother board as well.
I would understand having to pay for a new screen but having to pay for a new motherboard and screen does not sit well with me. If they had said that I would have pay for the screen and done nothing else on the phone and that I would have had no warranty I would have been ok with that
mox: thankyou for implying im deluded, i will take your kind words onboard
I didnt actually put my phone back in my pocket, i have never dropped it and had a full case on it from the word go. I cant see how or why this would happen and would hope its a one off an the build quality seems good and after the updates the phone works really well.
Im hoping this was a one in a million situation that wont occur for anyone else, but i thought just in case, HTC couldnt deny it had happened before.
Was the phone extremely hot or anything? Seems strange it would just shatter sitting in your pocket?

It's much more likely that you applied too much pressure on the screen by accidentally pressing it against the arm rest or something else nearby while you were distracted.
Ockham's razor, the glass isn't under any load stress so it's impossible for it to suddenly fracture. And if it did, you would have heard a loud cracking noise. Pressure must have been applied. Either that or you dropped it and now you're trolling. Sorry, but I really find it difficult to believe in spontaneous shattering of a phone's screen...

Gorilla Glass looking good, hahahaha
If it took a lot of pressure to shatter a demo glass of Gorilla Glass on a board, then either you put way too much pressure, or way too much heat damaged the glass causing it to shatter.

I'm sure there's a lot of people who won't believe this story. They key, however, to communicating online is this. Apply these simple rules before you post and you'll be doing very well.
1) does what I'm about to say need to be said (does it benefit anyone)?
2) does it need to be said right now?
3) does is need to be said by me?
If the answer to any of these is "no" then probably best not to say it at all.
If someone says something you don't believe to be true but it is not hurting anyone I would generally suggest letting it go. just my twopen'th.

It doesn't really matter if the screen has a screen protector on it or not. If someone took a baseball bat and smashed your screen, with or with no screen protector, it will still shatter.

If you meant you scratched your screen without knowing for a fact you placed a screen protector on it yourself AFTER taking off the "I'm the ONE you've been waiting for" sticker, then no, you don't have a screen protector.
Easiest way to check is to get a piece of tape, tape it on the screen and peel.

[Q] Does everyone have the lcd distortion issue at the sides when pressed?

Is there no such thing as a perfect HOX without issues on the screen when you apply pressure on the sides? Has anyone ever sent their phones for repair and had it back perfect?
Normally you won't notice this when operating the phone but say for example you're taking it out of the case or working out the gym and switching music you're definitely gonna apply more pressure and I can't help but feel that it's gonna break apart or cause permanent damage everytime it happens.
Yes happens to mine too, when I use my nail and press on the edge of the glass. It happens to my brothers One X too.
Mine is worse on the upper left side. So you' re just gonna live with the problem?
I don't have this.

Completely derogatory reply, and unnecessary.
You're implying that every one who has this fault is squeezing the f**k out of the screen.
This is simply not true.
And lets be bloody honest here, what is the point of a touch screen device that if you put the slightest additional pressure on messes up the screen as though it's a bloody lcd monitor?
Seriously?
Am I supposed to put white gloves on when I use my HTC? Am I not supposed to put it in my pocket, just it case it gets' squeezed.
I'm on my SEVENTH f**king phone, and trust me, I don't have to squeeze the f**k out of it.
I've not come across ANY other phone that does this. ANY!
So STFU claiming you have to squeeze it hard. You don't. It's a f**king design flaw. And I'm sick the the bollocks in having to keep sending my units back. I don't want my TOUCH SCREEN phone to look like it's my f**king LCD Monitor when I'm using it.

No. I'm getting rid now. This is my seventh unit. Absolutely appalling design flaw.
This phone is supposed to last me 2 years. It doesn't feel like it's going to last me 2 minutes.
How do you think that screen is going to hold up after 8 months of being in a pocket.
After 12 months?
After 18 months?
Yellow splodges everywhere because the screen has flexed too much? Having to hold it like a newborn in case it gets damaged even more.
Bollocks to that.
This is my final return.
I'm going to have to go with the S3. I don't like it compared to the HOX, I don't like TouchWiz.
But I much prefer that, then having a messed up screen in 12 months time.
Dude, you need a chill pill.
And stop punching your phone.
Get an S3 if it'll make you feel better, but I can assure you that jabbing instead of touching will net you a similar outcome.

awesome how agressive oliseo is. seriously, the screen is capacitive, what means that you have to touch it, not to press it.
the one x is some milimeters slim and you get a hd display, a quadcore cpu (actually 5 cores but offtopic) and you are trying to tell me that that´s a serious issue that the screen shows ghost if pressed? so, i guess your tft / lcd monitor has this issue too, i´ve got seven tube-monitors before i got my tft and all the other monitors didn't showed that epic-design-failure.
dude. seriously.

Touchscreen weird problem - not with multitouch

Hi,
I've got brand new Nexus 7 FLO and something's weird happens to my touchscreen.
When I keep Nexus in my hands, everything works just fine, but when I, for example, put it on my sofa then touchscreen miss my touches (it detects only few instead of, for example, 20). This only happens on certain bases (for example - works perfectly when lying on the desk, but on sofa there is a problem). I have no idea what could be the problem but it's really irritating. Multitouch works perfectly when N7 is in my hands...
Anyone experienced something like that?

Kamil
Yep, I notice the same. Very annoying in some occasions.

I had the same issue and even sent it to ASUS to fix. They never said what they did but when I got it back it did not have the screen protector on it. So I put one on it and within a few minutes started having the same issue with it not responding unless I was holding it. So I took the screen protector off of it. I no longer have the touch issue, but now I don't have a screen protector either. So if anyone knows of a good screen protector that will work please let me know.

Did you use a static/dry apply screen protector or a wet apply? Maybe try the opposite of what you used.

It was a static dry method. I will have to get a "wet" style screen protector and try it as you suggest.
This all falls under the same category of the touchscreen problems It isn't specific to multitouch, that was just the first of the initial findings.
The problem is a sensitivity problem with the grounding somewhere in the device. When you have the device laying on a non-conductive material (desk, couch, table, etc) it isn't getting grounded properly or hitting it's grounding threshold to properly register a touch.
This is where sfhub's fix comes into play. It corrects the grounding thresholds (I guess) so that the tablet is responsive in this type of situation (one handed) as well as multitouch and stickiness or wonky behaviors.
Removing a screen protector *CAN* improve this, but you are better off flashing the fix until Google releases a patch.

Screen sensitivity on right side of screen.

Recently I've been noticing that my N4 is having touch sensitivity issues on the right side of the screen. This is kind of a big deal because I'm a righty and use my right thumb most of the time to navigate pages when holding my phone. I'll further explain what's going on so maybe someone can chime in.
Let's say I open up Instagram and visit a page. When I get to the page I can see all their pictures and scroll to look at them. If I scroll on the left side of the screen with my finger I have no issues at all. As soon as I scroll with my thumb on the right most of the times it'll select the picture and open it when in fact I only wanted to scroll.
I've had this phone for a few months now and this issue just popped up recently. I didn't have a screen protector on the screen (glass or plastic) and in fact just bought a glass one yesterday to see if maybe that will make a difference. It didn't.
Another example where this issue is visible is if I'm typing and using SWYPE. As soon as I trace to the right side of the screen the SWYPE line will break and royally screw up what I was typing. I believe this is a hardware fault so I will take it to AT&T to have them look at it for me.
I remember running into this shortly after disabling a handful of things via that method to get rid of bloat that's floating around on here. I'll see about getting a replacement sent out. I want to hear from anyone who's done that debloating method that's posted on this forum. I haven't tried a master reset yet as I'd have to back up a lot of stuff beforehand. I don't think that will help but I'll try it anyway and report back.
Tried the master rest and the issue persists. I'm waiting for AT&T to open to see if I can get this replaced today.
That sounds like your best bet at the moment. When you reset did you reset from within android or did you reboot into recovery and reset? might be worth it, just for sh!ts and giggles to try from recovery.

I have been experiencing the same issue and haven't thought much of it until I read this post. A lot of time when I try to end my phone calls the end button doesn't respond to my touches. Also it take a few time with the apps on the right side of my app drawer as well. Doesn't happen every time but enough for me to take notice. I did not debloat, but do have some apps frozen through the app manager.
I'm at a Device Warranty center right now. Next in line and going to get a replacement N4. Do the SWYPE test. Swipe on the right side and see if the blue line breaks and it messes up your words royally.
Had a replacement ordered so I should have it mid-week.

No, I'm using a slim case by case mate. It's just one of the cases that fits like a glove.

Yeah, had one of these cases. Left a thumb size area on screen that would react to touch, but not to s-pen. Replaced it with new Note with no issue, put back in case and issue is back only then I figured it out. Waiting for Samsung OEM case.

Definitely not my case causing the issue. I will make a video.
I've started having a similar issue with my Verizon Note 4. Really annoying to simply try to scroll and have links clicked and opened. "Increase touch sensitivity" has always been turned off. It's definitely not case related, and I'm not using a screen protector.
finally!
