When i wake up the phone is not recognizing the touch,...i have to switch off e on the monitor severl time.
I cant understand what happened? it's become impossible to use the mobile. even when is unlocked some times is not recognizing any touch.
help please
Since it requires you to turn off and on the screen several time to get the touch working, I assume you are facing this issue.
Good luck .
I have my nexus 4 for a year now, it's a pretty good device but recently I'm experiencing strange issues, It first started with the soft keys suddenly not working so even after rebooting they would only go away after some time then I tried switching to a custom ROM it worked fine until the problem happened so I flashed the stock android 4.4.2 and same thing but actually now I see ghost touches and the softkeys not working !!! I read that replacing the battery might fix it is it true ? If it is then why? Any way to solve this ?
Hi!
I'm absolutely new here (and to Android and everything about it) and i've only made a couple of posts in the noob thread. I felt like this should be a thread of its own due to its abnormality.
I've only very recently rooted my phone (i9505, 4.4.2) a couple of hours ago using the towelroot method. I have not flashed any custom ROM yet however I do have some Xposed Modules installed.
i've only run across some problems like repetitive rebooting (fixed) and faster battery drain (hopefully fixed by tomorrow).
However, I have one problem that doesn't seem to have any solution whatsoever anywhere in the internet; it wasn't even mentioned once.
Whenever I open the stock camera app, the touch screen becomes completely useless. I cannot touch anything; the settings, shutter, view finder to focus, absolutely nothing. The camera itself is not broken, I can still take pictures with the volume rockers. Also, I know not the entire screen is broken because one of the modules I have installed is SwipeBack, which lets me swipe from a corner and it goes back and it still works perfectly fine.
I've tried rebooting the phone and force stopping the camera but nothing has worked.
The only suspicious thing I've done is backup and uninstall all the KNOX apps, which should be no surprise.
Now I'm not particularly bothered by this as I barely use the stock camera app anyway, or any camera app besides Snapchat. I don't use my phone for taking pictures much, but it still is quite annoying.
Is there any sort of fix to this?
Thank you very much in advance!
So I bought a used N4 sold as is because the seller said he had some issues with the ROM and the touch sensitivity and all it needed was a stock ROM flash. I took up the challenge and flashed stock 4.4.4.
While I'm at the home screen everything's fine, as soon as opened the app drawer there were random touches all over the bottom half of the screen. Some were shown in the center and many at the bottom left corner but most were just random. I mean like 7-8 touches per second. The same happened whenever I went into play store, Opera or Chrome. Didn't test it further since I decided to try another rom.
Flashed Purity ROM and at first glance it worked flawlessly. Not random touches in home screen, app drawer or settings. Then I flash Gapps and the same thing happens with Play and Opera.
The funny thing is that the problem persists but at different circumstances. Can't pinpoint the exact cause. Should I get a new screen and try? Or maybe something else is at fault there?
I've been having the exact same problem as you. It started after I replaced the screen and the usb flex.
Ghost touches 1-2 each second only on some apps (none on homescreen or settings). I noticed that it happen in 4.4.4 app drawer but not in the 4.2.2 app drawer. I got almost no ghost touches on 4.2.2 messaging app also. It happens in almost any app, like play store, dropbox,chrome....
I thought it was the battery so I replaced it, but it did not fix it.
I have been trying to troubleshoot the problem but I ran out of theories. I wish the best luck to find the solution, as I almost gave up on it. If you happen to solve it tell me.
I think i found out what's causing this issue.
My theory was that apps with a lot of white would trigger the ghost touches. So I tested with flashlight screen apps that only show white on the screen. As expected the ghost touches only started to appear when i turned the flashlight on.
Therefore my theory was correct.
In my case I will contact the seller that sold me the screen to see if I can get a replacement.
I've had the intermittent touch screen issue, just above the capacitive buttons and also the ghost touches.
Started about 2+ weeks ago.
I reverted back to the stock "HOME" launcher instead of the Google Now launcher and that seemed to have fixed the issue.
I will have to keep an eye out to see if it lasts.

Hi everyone. this is my first post. i may make some grammar mistakes, because english is not my native language.
I found a solution for the ghost touch issue on my nexus 4, so maybe it can help who is having the same problem.
1- Download and instal the NOMone Resolution Changer on Play store
(this is my first post here, so i cant paste de link here, but you will not have trouble to find it)
2- when asked, Allow superuser
3- open the app and change the height resolution to 1250. (it worked for me, but make some tests to see if you need to disable a bigger part of the screen to avoid de problem)
This is not the best way to keep using your phone, because you may lost a part of the usable screen, but worked for me.
Thanks!
I workaround this issue avoid using undervoling in the kernel, and avoid lower temperatures in phone, yes as you read ... this issue give my crazy when my phone was to hot and I tried to cold my phone using one ice cube in screen and back, the temperature of the phone down but ghost touches appears again, so played some videos to warm the phone again and dissapear again.
Don't ask me about how it works, or relation with screen, digitizer or battery, I don't understand but help me to workaround the issue.
I've been looking around to solve this issue, but haven't have much luck. It looks like it's an issue with a good number of ROMs on this phone, but my issue is that after some time, the touchscreen in some games and apps stops working normally.
Phone is running Lineage 16, rooted w/ magisk
To have it work, I need to hold one finger on the screen and the other finger will register properly.
The issue can temporarily be fixed by rebooting the phone.
I notice the issue occurring when an app/game accesses the camera. At that moment, issue occurs.
I came across this in my searches: https://review.lineageos.org/c/Linea...ative/+/198809
Not sure exactly how to work with that, but I figured I would provide as much info as I can before asking for help. Thanks ahead for the help
