Is anyone else having trouble with the screen not being very resonsive? Like I frequently can't register swipes (or at least it is not opening the things it is supposed to open). Doesn't seem to be any one swipe. It really just reminds me of old android phones, so I'm wondering if it is just lack of processing power or RAM.
If anyone had this problem and solved it, what is the solution?
Sorry I guess this should probably be in QA/troubleshooting. Mods feel free to move if it's a problem.

Hey all,
Focus owner here. I've noticed this really annoying issue with my WP7 and was wondering if anyone else is seeing it. Every now and then, when I am scrolling the browser, or specially in Adobe PDF reader, the device would detect a single scroll touch as a pinch zoom :/ Suddenly, as I am scrolling, the page would zoom instead.
Anyone else get this? I am trying to figure out if it's an OS issue in general or if I have a bad device that I need to get replaced.
Thanks!
HTC 7 Trophy here, haven't experienced that. sounds like a dodgy?
make sure that the hand holding the phone does not have a finger accidentally touching the screen

Maybe you have a cut on your finger or a dimple that the screen detects as two fingers.
Nah, no cuts or anything on my finger now that I see that no one has it, I will pay more attention to what repros it. I was chalking it off as a glitch in the OS. It can be really annoying sometimes.
Thanks guys
No touch issues

Can't duplicate that on my Focus...
Good luck.
I've seen it on both my EVO and my HD7, only to find the corner of my hand was touching the screen. Otherwise no issues here with multi-touch.
It's happened a couple of times on my Focus, not enough to be a problem. I can't really reproduce it on purpose but sometimes my finger will slide VERY slightly when I go to tap something (a link in explorer for example) then I get a zoom instead. It rarely happens so it doesn't bother me at all.
Never had that on my HD7
I'm experiencing the same issue on Omnia 7. It's a software bug rather than hardware flaw IMHO.
Never happened on my Focus.
Try avoiding double tapping. From experience a double tap is a zoom shortcut, unless an app specifies an action for it.
Does anyone's S6 edge have this problem where you are typing a text, at least 10 words long or more, and the screen don't recognize touch input just once, but it happens every 15 to 20 words? Its freaking annoying and I've since switched to the google keyboard and this problem don't happen as much, but the problem is still there, its caused me to misspell at least 7 words so far that the keyboard has auto corrected. This is so damn annoying and I hope I'm the only one that has this problem that way I can take this phone back and get it replaced.
I guess I'm the only one
Happens to me sometimes, but not all the time. It's probably a RAM problem. I usually clean/close some opened apps with Cleanmaster to prevent lag. Hope the next update will fix memory management problem.
I'm on Android 5.1.1 and it supposedly has fixed the RAM issue and the problem still exists. I don't think it's a RAM issue. I think it's a software issue that when you type too fast it stops recognizing the presses. Hapes mainly with the backspace key. If I tap that button like 20 times it will stop pressing it no matter how hard I press.
I want to say this is a Edge thing not a S6 thing.
Try a different keyboard from play store, also try closing apps in background.
I haven't noticed the ever on this incredible phone.
Running stock no root yet, with 3 pages of apps disabled.
Pp.
I apologize for resurrecting this thread but, I've been searching for a while with no avail. Since I've upgraded to 5.1.1 I've been experiencing this issue. Has anyone in the time of this thread found a possible fix for this?
I've tried multiple things, maybe going to have to resort to cleaning up with a factory reset.
This phone is so beautiful, yet functions like a POS, minus the camera. It just sits on desk collecting dust. I too have the aforementioned issue, along with dozens of others. First phone I've ever regretted buying.
Hi,
I have a UK sim free model. It sometimes misinterprets a tap or adds a phantom tap. Its not terrible but I'm sure mine has a issue. A quick Google and a tweet tell me I am not alone. Anyone else seeing this? I could return but I'm dubious it's hardware related...just not sure if it's worth waiting for a software update...

I have same issues with my g4 here in the US.
Unfortunately same here, on a G4, korean model F500S.
I have the same issues on my G4. So probably returning it won't solve it. I notice it the most when I am scrolling in Facebook or web pages I will open a link accidently.
I have the same, occasionally it just won't respond to some taps, i find just pressing the standby on/off button quickly sorts it but it is very annoying.
same here in israel, sometimes do not respond to double tap on lock screen to wake the G4 up
im sure its a software issue, prolly the LP 5.1
Are so you guys using screen protectors? That was the issue for me with g3 and g2.

I am using the out-of-the-box protector on G4. So the thing u mentioned was it with this kinda protector or after-market glass protector?
Try...SGS Touchscreen Booster - Google Play Store
I have run into this same problem with my Verizon G4 (VS986). Many of my taps have gone unrecognized.
I did find this.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/fix-touch-screen-registering-touches-t3128518
I tested the software that was recommended...and IT WORKED!
Give it a try...can't hurt!

After market but plastic.
Just started to get issues where taps on the far left-hand side of the screen don't work.

Okay, I was able to replicate my bug. It happens after playing a game and stops after some time. Turning autorotate back on and switching back and forth from landscape view fixed it.
Hey guys.
I was searching the forums for a fix that solves the phantom/ghost touches I'm getting frequently on my LG G4, H815 model.
Sorry for the long post but my case looks a little more complex than the ones I've been seen in here.
In my case, that's how it happens:
I receive several multi-touches at the same time, usually when Data is enabled. Sometimes it starts right when I switch from Wi-Fi.
It happens often when I'm driving and using Location+Data as well, which drives me crazy. I does also happens (like another user mentioned in this thread) when scrolling down a feed (such as on Facebook) and it suddenly likes/shares a photo/post. It also drives me crazy! And there is also the case where it taps the keyboard and send crazy typos on chat apps when you are real-time texting someone! Another hassle is right after using the camera and opening the gallery to show someone the taken photo...it suddenly scrolls the gallery and open another photo. I just can't make it to see the taken pic. Therefore, I really wanna fix this so bad since it happens every time I need something right away.
A workaround that's been helping, though it's a pain:
I found that pressing the On/Off button and giving it a few seconds will return it to a normal state. The problem is when it happens while I'm driving and are supposed to take an exit/make a turn at the moment. There are some other cases where I'm into something and giving this few seconds is not an option.
Trying right now:
Someone suggested in this thread to use the SGS Touchscreen Booster. I'm giving it a try right now.
Important notes:
This issue has been happening since I got this phone on November, 2015. We got this 6.0 update recently and I was hoping that it would fix it. It didn't.
I have an after market screen protector that I applied in order to see if the issue would go away. It also didn't.
I have been searching about a digitizer replacement but I don't think is a hardware issue, since it just doesn't happens when I'm only on Wifi at home with Data disabled. I believe that the problem is the Data connection that triggers smth.
Any thoughts?
Does anyone have any idea or have experienced the same scenario before? Any thoughts on my guess of data enabling triggering the ghost touches?
Sorry for the long post and thank you so much for reading it.
I think it's both, its hardware and software, LG tried to fixed it but it makes it worst. You can solve the problem for few seconds putting your five fingers at the home menu, It goes crazy and after it stopped making ****. Anyway this phone is great but all the problems make it ****.
I am going to use this thread even though I think my problem is not as serious as yours are.
My problem is that touches are registered, but no action is taken.
For example. Quickly tapping on an icon on the home screen will highlight it, but it will not open the application. I enabled the option in Developer mode to display the touches and the touch is registered. It's just that the app will not load. If I click for a tad longer - it loads. Happens on both stock Launcher and Action Launcher. I have not noticed it happening outside the launcher.
I read something about a keyboard update, but in the Update Center I don't have anything related to the keyboard.
The icons I see it happening with are located in the lower part of the screen.
I am almost sure that this is a software problem, but several updates have not fixed it. Currently on v20d.
Any suggestions or ideas?
After a few more testing and monitoring, I found out that the ghost touches only take place when I'm on LTE.
And even more weird, while driving through some specific areas when I'm commuting.
It's just so weird to think that some towers may send a LTE signal that may cause the ghost touches.
At home, at work, wifi or data, it doesn't happen.
I've had this phone for about 5 months now and one thing thats been bothering me for most of the time is the phones touch sensitivity. Lately also it appears to be getting worse.
Phone is completely stock
I am on Pie and I have the newest update.
I am not rooted
I am not using a screen protector
I do not have huge hands or particularly fat fingers
first I don't use a lock on my phone, so I swipe up to unlock it. Most of the time it take multiple swipes to unlock, most of the time its 2 or 3 but sometimes up to 5 if not more. Is this livable sure but let me tell you it's getting really really annoying after just 5 months.
Scrolling on the phone has always been odd, it feels choppy at times, especially when scrolling in apps like facebook or the browser, scrolling outside of apps seems ok. Its like it's missing some of my inputs or applying some sort of acceleration or deceleration based on how fast you swipe and its just doing it poorly. Now again this is just an inconvenience but still...coming from a Note 8 the scrolling was always smooth..never once did I notice it being choppy.
So these two I just chalked up to how the software was implemented..it was what it was
So fast forward to now....I'm noticing even more issue with the touch sensitivity....words dont type right , I often miss spaces when typing, I thought it was my bad typing but now I really think it's missing some of my inputs because its worse than just my bad typing. The worst is when I go to correct words and hit the right word on the top of the keyboard is misses the word. It doesn't always put it it..it misses the touch and it does this a lot.
If I try to highlight something it will at times highlight the wrong row or word...every now and then it will highlight something not even close to what I was trying to highlight, like another part of my hand accidentally touched another part of the screen, but it didn't. I try to duplicate this when it happens and I cant.
In the same vein, sometime I touch something on the screen to open a link or something like that and it will touch something else close but not what I was trying to touch, again sometime something not even close will register like I accidentally hit something somewhere else...again I cant duplicate it.
It will register touches when I'm not touching the screen, just holding the phone....I think maybe I accidentally "touched: the edge of the screen but also I can never duplicate the action
Im at a point here to I feel like there is either something wrong with the screen on my phone or I need to turn to rooting to see if the issue really is software and maybe its been fixed by the community.
I came here to check about rooting but I thought I would ask the question first and see what people thought about the issue. I did a search and there definitely seems to be others having similar issues and a lot of those people seemed to be having screen issues. So maybe it really is a hardware issue and I should just skip the root and talk to google?
I have almost the same issue. Any solutions !?!
Try a factory reset and see if that helps any. If it doesn't, contact Google; a warranty replacement may be in your future.
So I recently got the Pixel 4a 5G and all in all I am very satisfied. However, I got the feeling that typing is unusually buggy, meaning that when I type fast, the google keyboard identifies it as swype-style and enters a blank space after the gibberish it produced. At first I thought this might be a problem of the google keyboard, so I installed other keyboards but they showed similar behaviors. If they lack swype-features, it often happens that the cursor moves back into an already written word and such. Then I thought it might be the screencover I applied, but I got rid of it and the problem persists. Now I know that I am typing fast, but not that fast that it should be problematic and also I did _not_ experience something like it on my previous phone (which was a OnePlus One).
As this behaviour starts to annoy me, I'm just curious if someone experiences similar things with their phone or if it's something I'm doing wrong. Not really expecting any suggestions or solutions here, though if someone has a suggestion/solution/fix I'm probably up for it!
i haven't had this exact issue but i'm definitely having some muscle memory ones. my 3a xl had a nav bar so i'm having trouble adapting to a lower on the screen keyboard and my typing is messy. might be part of your issue but i've seen improvement over the last few weeks.
I'm having the exact same issue. When I type too fast, the keyboard registers swipe gestures.
Have you tried Settings, Display, Advanced, Increase touch sensitivity?

Yes, unfortunately it has no effect. And if it doesn't register a swipe, it will simply not register one of the keys being pressed. I can't replicate it if I slow down my typing
