This is soooo annoying, and i wonder if my device is defective or it's a widespread issue.
Happens to me occasionally although I have very rough hands from work so I kind of attribute it to that. Maybe there is more to it?

I have a feeling it's an issue.... Shouldn't do it.
I'm having the same issue, I just sent my issues in to Huawei US and requested a replacement under warranty. I get swipes read as touches even with the touch sensitivity moved from light to med and I get unregistered touches, particularly in the button bar on the bottom of the screen. sometimes it takes up to 4 touches to register. Rebooting seems to help but having to reboot several time a day is not a fix but an issue which to me is a defect.

Let me know if the replacement makes a difference.
I had the same issue once, and sent it back for warranty service once. They've since sent it back and it's acting up again. In my case the odd behavior turned out to be phantom touches. Check if this is happening with your phone via Developer Options>Input>Show taps.
Initially when touching the bottom of the screen, nav bar, I would get phantom touches in other places on my screen. Going against my personal preferences, I ended up doing a factory reset to see if it would help, and it didn't. At this point my phone was out of the case, as I removed it for troubleshooting reasons, as well as no screen protector. I played with it at home for a few days while waiting for my return label to be shipped to me. By the time it arrived, I was startig to get red flashes on the screen border while scrolling. Now, with my situation, I had the phone in this style case. The reason I mention this is that it started to do the same thing after receiving it back, and now that I've switched to a different style case, it's helped.... I think. Time will tell, but if any of you are using the 3-in-1 case style that actually covers the front bezels (particularly WITH a tempered glass screen protector) you might consider trying a different case.
Hope this helps someone.

it started out a few days ago. I started to feel like my touchscreen is not as responsive as usual.
I noticed numerous times it felt like my swipes as well as my touch (say when i want to open a specific app) are not being registered properly. Now the way i recall my samsung galaxy s, it would register a click sometimes even when you're hovering about 0.5mm to 1mm above it. So with that in mind, i thought i would try to do that with my one x. I would hover my hand slightly above it, and no response - NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM JUST YET.
Anyways, seeing as hovering over it doesn't work (which is not a problem imo) i would proceed to touching the screen, however i touch it without applying any pressure, i could even swipe and it WOULD NOT switch over to the next screen. I could touch the screen and the application would NOT register my fingers. However, after applying more pressure it suddenly gets registered. Even though the pressure i have to apply is just slight, Isn't this how a resistive touchscreen is supposed to behave and not a captivate touchscreen?
I thought that's because of my screen protector, i took it off and gave it 2~3 days and the issue remained.
Now my question(maybe even a favor) to you guys is as follows.
1. Try to click on an app, however, do this without applying any pressure, simply touching your touchscreen (might have to do this slowly). Does it respond? Or is it the same with with you as it is with me?
2. Please report in on the behavior of your touchscreen.
NOTE: I just want to know if my touchscreen is behaving normally or not. I do recall a better experience, actually if anything i was very happy with my one x's screen and this is simply annoying. Espeically when i have it on a soft surface and i push my screen, normally a soft surface tends to bulge in upon pressure.
It could take three touches for that freaking thing to register it if my phone is lying on a pullover or whatever else that's soft. Lately i'm not really happy with how webpages scroll up or down either, feels as if my swipes are lightly registered thus a sluggish movement upward or downward.. I hope this is not yet another issue that i have to deal with because my unit already had a wifi defect and, despite being happy with this device it might be my last. It's just too troublesome. Unless my stupid provider replaces it but i could keep dreaming.

0,5 - 1mm ? do you even realize how big this distance is? No way the SGS would register that... or react on that. (I come from that phone too)
with that in mind, my One X is much more responsive as the SGS or any other phone I had.
And no, I do not need to press. As the slightest pressure gives my screen ripples. not possible.
Either try another kernel if you have some custom one, I know there was some problems with those sometimes. Or factory reset if you are stock and then return it?

Well maybe i exaggerated the hovering part but within a certain (very small distance, probably 0,2 maybe even 0,1 the screen would react).
I've been from viper, to jelly bean roms, to ARHD and Maximus. Same thing.
edit: actually, 0,5 mm is hardly anything if you look at how big a mm is and put and reduce the distance by 50%, anyway that's not the discussion http://www.meb.uni-bonn.de/Cancernet/Media/CDR0000578121.jpg
Hover taps/clicks happen, I'm sure I haven't touched the screen a couple of times but it responded to what I wanted to do. Anyways, try this app called touchscreen test to confirm your issue.

So you are implying that hovering touch seems to work on your Hox?
Hovering also works with my HOX. And I don't have to use any pressure, hardly even touch the screen.

Tell them the digitizer is faulty and needs to be changed.
Simple problem, I live in the UK so the weather isn't exactly brain freezing but at 3 degree Celsius or below the screen just doesn't want to respond AT ALL, the phone is perfectly fine because buttons work and such it's just the touch screen and the touch buttons also the weirdest thing is after restarting the phone when this occurs the screen magically works again however after few minutes of cold weather will disable the touch capabilities. Should I claim on warranty? I really cant be arsed for 2 weeks without my phone, I'm quite addicted to it.
Also I have smashed the screen in the past and had it replaced by HTC if that matters however I can't tell if this issue existed before that because it wasn't exactly cold then. Please give me some good advice?
AW: [Q] HTC One X touch screen not working in cold weather.
What's your job? I mean where do you work? While I was working for an art exhibition, my fingertips skinlayer got really really thick because I did worked with pug
After that, touchscreens didn't respond to my fingers at all

I'm a college student, my finger tips are definitely soft lmao! No that's not the issue because after restarting the phone everything is fine and my hands are rather warm, I actually thought about that and even tried licking the screen, didn't work.

Dude!....never ever lick a screen ! It has more backteria on it than a toilet seat of a highway rest! Anyways, send it back to warranty would be an idea. If it comes to software, you'll most propably get help, but if it comes to hardware, things will get difficult.

I truly don't care, the less bacteria we intake the weaker we are against them
I actually watched that video, I'm subscribed to vsauce
So I should send it off then? Will HTC have any issues with doing this within the warranty? I assume it's their fault I did notice that in the dark the bottom of the screen reveals a little gap where the light from the screen/buttons is shining through, it's not impractical just a little bit annoying and makes it seem like they didn't fit the screen 100% properly also the right edge of the screen seems to be darker, for example if I open something white on the screen it seems as if there was a shadow coming from the right edge of the screen.
Posting an update for future reference. The device has been sent of to HTC on the 18th of Feb and returned today however there was no email or nothing informing me about return of the device, not only that they haven't included any document stating what has been done to the phone if anything has been done at all (except of a hard reset ofc). The gap at the bottom is still there and light shines through it as much as ever, the device came completely dead without any charge what so ever, I have now stuck it in the freezer and after 20 minutes I will check on it to see if my issue still persists, if it does then HTC is just a joke of a company.
At least the haven't charged me... yet. Will post an update.
Hi,
did anybody has this? (see Picture)
Its on the bottom of the screen. I just noticed it while browsing a website in landscape mode.
That may be glue. And I hope it is not a similar problem OnePlus One owners are facing.

This happens to LCD panels, it could be a one off due to heat etc, or it could be the sign of a faulty panel.

If it is glue, it cam be solved, by putting the phone under UV light or under the sun for some time, and it will go away. Google it.
If this does not solve your problem, look for a replacement.

Hm. A couple of days I think. But I can't tell you exactly. It just disappeard after a while.
I'm pleased yours disappeared. Mine which is identical in both the place and shape has been on my G3 since I got it back in July.
It still gets darker the longer you have heat build up on the screen and when it's cooled down its faint again.
i dont have the same luck as you guys mine are getting bigger and darker i think i have a bad lcd DAMN i really love this phone.
Same issue here. Same color, same location, same size. Mine is invisible when the phone is cool. But when the phone heats up, the yellow is very visible.
Sorry guys, I forgot to come back here with an update.
Mine eventually disappeared last week after nearly 3 months.
I believe it is the glue.
Someone told me to try leaving the phone under UV lighting. I left mine in direct sunlight for when it was not being used. Seemed to cure it in a few days.
yellow spot all of a sudden!
I've updated my phone to lollipop v20e a couple of days ago. Today I noticed this little yellow spot in my phone. Coincidence or not I began to use NFC TAGS early this morning, can this be related using the NFC TAGS and having this function enabled?
yellow screen marks
I bought my LG G3 on the 20/07/14 and after 5 months of use I have a long yellow thick line across the top left of the screen. What makes this even more concerning is my cousin bought the same handset a week before me and his now also has a thick yellow line on the screen. There is nothing you can do to get rid of it and it is more pronounced against a white background.Looks more like screen burn. Both my cousin and I have contacted LG and we are having to send our handsets to them for repair.
I have never experienced this issue with any other handset i have owned. I was unhappy that i had the issue but even more pi$$ed off that my cousin has the same thing happening which tells me either it was a huge coincidence or that these things are not fit for purpose and more and more will be going wrong in the near future.
My handset has been well cared for and never dropped. I am a moderate user so this was even more of a surprise. While the LG is getting repaired I am using my Sony z2 work phone as my personal for now and I don't think I will be swapping back when I get my LG back.
Good luck to anyone who has this issue. My concern is the same thing will happen again and then it will be my problem as it will be outside of warranty.

i have it too in the up-right corner of the screen and it doesn't disappear... it just get darker with hot screen and softens when it cools down
Left-top corner
I also experiencing this issue for 2 months now. its a strip. and its getting longer day by day. once i tried screen burn app and 8 hours continuously screen on resulted in heated display. then, when i press that line temporary it disappears. so obviously its the glue. i'll try the direct sunlight thing. hope it'll resolve this case. it's really annoying
Thanks for the tips :fingers-crossed:

After 6-7 months of usage, same thing, in same place (upper right corner, don't dissapear - only getting bigger and darker on hot screen).
Took my phone to local warranty service, and after 1 week got call from this service - they told me, that service is REJECTED, because phone had physical damage! (WTF?!?!?!?! i haven't dropped it, and there is no crack's/spots of damage on phone!).
After telling them all this, and proposed that it may be glue, or faulty LCD/Overheat - they told me that LCD have crack from back side (?!?!?!LOL!?!?!?!).
Now i'm stuck deep in *ss, and don't know even what to do....
Anyone of you got solution to this problem?
Maybe contacting LG representives directly will help to solve this case?

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.

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.

Anyone else having issues where touching the edge of the screen but the phone not registering it?
Like in chrome or gmail or any other app that has the menu button at the top right of the app. I hit the 3 dots but nothing happens. I've even tapped multiple times in a row with nothing registered.
Seems I have to go further into the screen where the curved part stops and the screen goes back flat before the touches are registered normally.
I'm curious if this is normal or not, I'm seriously considering returning the phone for this so I want to know if it's just me or not.
Getting the same thing on mine. Only really noticed it on the keyboard trying to get characters on the very right edge. Already got used to it though and just changed how it tap those characters. Should really be fixed by Google though - even if it's just a software sensitivity thing. You're the first other person I've heard of that has seen this though, so....not at all sure how common it is.
I've noticed it to a few times, particularly in the top right corner.

Yep. Happens on the right side constantly.
Yes, a game that I play doesn't scale properly for the different ratio, and not only am I missing stuff hanging over the edges, but I also can't tap on stuff right at the edge. I am definitely remembering why I don't usually get day one phones (or 2nd generation phones, it seems like the 1st gen is always cool but lacking, 2nd has all the features but none of them work, and 3rd they finally fix all the problems... 4th and later are then usually boring).

Yup, I am having the same issues.
I have noticed the same problems as well.
And in Play Music when I try to touch the 3 dots on the album art to select download it jumps down thru the library?
I have also noticed that when using navigator for walking and carrying it in my pocket when I pull it out to check the screen it sometimes takes a while for the screen to come on?

No screen protector. I am using a case, but I took it off and tested and get the same problem without the case too.
Noticed the same thing here on both the left and right side particularly when using the keyboard.
I've noticed something else though, I can run my fingers along the edge and it will scroll. But tapping in the same spot doesn't register so I am thinking it is software filtering out the touches.

I noticed the same thing. tapping on the far right edge doesn't register anything, but pressing and scrolling up/down, there will be a small delay and then it'll start scrolling. Pretty annoying, but should be fixable.
Same problem here... Notice it mostly on lower right. Keyboard and thumbs up in the messenger.
Same with me. I had extreme difficulty registering a key-press when typing a '0' on my keyboard earlier today. As on a normal keyboard, the '0' is on the right edge.
I cannot however seem to recreate the issue now.
Has anyone tried contacting Google support regarding this?

Just found this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycompany.anton_mokshyn.touchscreentest which lets you test the touch screen detection. With it I'm finding that the edges of the screen often require two touches to get them to register. I'd be interested to hear what others are seeing.
I feel like I'm the only one who got a non defective pickle. I've literally experienced none of the issues going around in these forums. Thank you lawd
