I find often I keep accidentally opening apps that are the closest to the edge of the scene. What I have discovered is that the icon is touch sensitive all the way out to literally the last pixel of the screen before the edge even though the icon is not there lol. A bit annoying.

About 2 months ago I started getting phantom touches on my screen, always on the right side. In the app Dotty, I could create the touches by moving my finger near the right edge until a circle would appear and start barely moving up and down really fast. This would be the primary touch point and other touch points would show on the screen in Dotty but in any other program all secondary touches were ignored(keyboard, homescreen). This created the illusion of the touchscreen simply not working. To fix it I had to sleep/wake the phone a couple times until it went away. This issue would come and go and seem to be really bad for a day then there wouldn't be a problem for a week. As of now, the phantom touch point problem seems to have gone away. However, the right 1/4" of the screen no longer registers touch. This mainly only affects the P key but is quite annoying. The strip that doesn't work runs from x:287-320(edge) in Dotty. I've flashed, re-flashed several roms and can't seem to fix the problem. Any ideas? Is this a digitizer gone bad? Should I contact HTC/is it covered by the warranty?
Hey guys. I love my epic and appreciate the site and forums. I switched from a old winmo 6.5 htc kjam to epic 4g and everything is greato far except for 1 issue. I have these these weird dead spots where if i was to use swype, i cant complete a word that required a lot of movements to characters closeer to the edges. Its kinda unusable because once i try to slide from say a letter Z to P somehow before it reaches P. I also have issues with different apps where im unable to click a button unless i switch from landscape to portrait and vice versa mostly buttons on the edge. On cm9 i have the setting to show a little white circle when your finger is on the screen and it looks like that white circle is not able to show up precisely where im pushing. This happens mostly on the edges and affects landscape swyping and both view modes when pushiong buttons to browser links. Kind of annoying so i been using voice typing or the keyboard as i need to use ssh a lot. Could there be a hardware issue with my screen like some sensor? I dont know the anatomy of an epic 4g but i know its never been dropped. Its not a huge deal but i would like to know if this is a common problem. I think but maybe its placebo but can it be cm9 because i do recall flashing the temp el30 rom to calibrate my screen when i noticed this problem. Calibration doesnt seem to help.
it seems like the curved part of my edge isnt responding to touch. i think the touch screen ends right before it curves. is this supposed to happen? i noticed this when i tried to scroll to the beginning of a song in the google music app. but it doesnt go all the way to 0:00 because it extends into the curve. i hope my screen isnt defective. please help
Hi everyone.
I have recently had my screen replaced. After playing around, i quickly noticed that my keyboard screws up when i start typing.
The faster i type, the worse the problem is.
I checked touch response times and achieves normal times of about 60ms, however, i turned on touch overlay in developer settings and noticed that if i touch opposite sides of the screen quickly (to simulate typing), it would draw lines between the touches as if i was dragging between the two points.
This is what causes my keyboard to do funky stuff and heavily lag when typing fast.
Please note that this never happened before the screen replacement, and a hard reset didnt fix the problem.
Is there any software fix for this, or do i need another screen?
thanks.

I mainly work on iPhones, but it sounds like your digitizer is out of calibration. Don't know if there's a software fix for it, but hopefully this will point you in the right direction. Also I'd take it back to the place you had it repaired and see if they can fix if it's still warrantied.
Hey all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra on ATT, and i think it has a mind of its own. I haven't been able to capture any footage of this, but the phone will randomly do things like, if I'm in my text messages, it will select one and tap the text bar repeatedly, or it will quit out of whatever app I'm using, or it will go to the screen that shows all the apps i have running. It always does this 5 or 6 times in the span of a second or two.
Any help is appreciated.
Do you have a screen protector on? I've had this before (not on this device) and it was due to a bad glass screen protector install.
You can try turning accidental touch protection on, and turning touch sensitivity off in Display in settings.
