Anyone has this problem? When I put my finger on the touchscreen, screen moves up and down like crazy. It gets worse when I move my finger to the side of the screen.
I tried different roms, different kernels, nothing fix this.
Only when using the touchsentivity app and changing the value to any value and clicking apply makes this behaviour disappear for a moment.... after locking the phone and awake it, same thing happens again.
It drives me crazy because I always put my finger on the screen when reading something.. or in some apps or games when I need my finger stay on the screen it gets annoying. .

This isn't normal. If you can't solve this problem with a factory reset, get your phone exchanged or repaired.

That's what my HD2 used to do. Couldn't type anything on it to save my life. Think I'm gonna have to check my SG2 now I've seen your vid.
Thats probably because the custom kernel your using has a different value for it and the app is setting up 5, try it with a stock kernel and perform a factory reset and see if the issue still occurs w/o changing the TSP value.
I got the same problem. I do that sometimes too.. scrolling up and read while holding my finger down, it just jitters or something.
You're not the only one, but not sure how widespread this problem is or if it is normal or not..
Mine is also jerking when holding the finger out at the edge lol, looks retarded

Interesting...so if I disable the touchscreen fix the problem goes away. If I reinstall it, no matter what the settings are, I get the jittering effect at the very corner of the screen.

Yep I got same problem, when reading and holding down on the screen it does the same.
On Litening Rom 1.5 cant remember if it happened on stock rom though
I get this too, my SGS did it as well.
I tried this multiple times on the edge and it does not jitter at least on the phone that I have.
Mine did this when it was plugged into the mains (using a non-samsung) charger. Does not do it when plugged in via USB or on battery.
Is yours plugged in?
So some have it, some not?
I always had this thing, since KE1.. now on KG5. Stock kernel, custom kernel, rooted or not rooted doesn't matter.
Also, it has nothing to do with the touchsentivity app. The app even fixes it temporary when applying a new value, but it re-appears when locking-awaking the phone. (I tried to enable the service option on the app, so it will apply the value everytime I awake the phone, but this does not work)
I just tried it when plugged in in the changer, it seems to do the opposite... when plugged in I don't have this effect anymore. Once plugged out it starts again.
I also have SGS1.. this does not happen.

So how has this worked out for you? I have this too but just a little bit less. It also stops for me when plugged in. I wen't back to the store with it but saw that the shop model had the problem too so I decided to not return it. How about you?
I checked and it appers that i have i too. Didnt notice it till now.
It is occuring only on the left side when holding my finger.
I did not notice it too...and yes, mine is "Jerky" too...
Mine is fine, so looks faulty to me.

weird left side
I have to say this happens to me too but only when at the VERY edge of the screen,on the left.
There is something very weird about the left side of the phone.
1. the touch issue
2. the yellow tint
3. the glass is more raised than the right side(check it out) its like there is less bezel showing on the lower left part of the phone than the right side. I've checked 3 s2s and they all had it.
I have this all over the screen but not as bad as on the left side. Could someone install note everything and make a paint note with the smallest brush. Then try to make some straight lines (without the phone being connected to the a/c). Draw them really slowly from the left to the right. Mine usually jumps 1 pixel up and/or down and is a bit wavy (which isn't normal for touchscreen phones cause I tried the same thing on my friend's optimus 2x and the lines where as straight as could be). Maybe if you guys make a screenshot (home button+lock button) we could compare them and see if there is really a problem with specific phones or with the Galaxy line in general.
This was something I noticed when I first got the phone, if I kept my finger on while browsing, it would "shake" and be extremely annoying. Same thing happens when you hold an application in the left corner of the screen.
If my phone is charging, the problem is gone! It's smooth, and doesn't "shake".
Soon as the charger is removed problem is back
Going to return this tomorrow and see if they'll exchange it.
Just another 'my phone is red, yellow screen thread'. Does it affect your day to day usage? If it does,i too is concerned.if not, then what's the point in looking for non measure issues? This issue was up like 4 months ago and now, back. Y'all just return your phones and close annoying threads.

I don't know if anyone else has ever had this problem but when out in the sun ( I think this is the only time to actually see it) I can see a burn in of the previous view. One example is sliding the app drawer up then sliding it back down I can see the apps and a thick bar that is the app tab sliding down. I am using the T-Mobile G1 and am wondering if this is a hardware problem or something else.
i noticed this too, i on't believe it is an issue and i don't think we can fix it. the only time i see it when i get my recommended daily dosage of sunlight wich is about 15 minutes, the rest of the time i am in a dark room in a basement on my computer
Ok I just didn't want to go on thinking my phone was supremely messed up.
i am a vampire, so i shouldn't have a problem with this haha
but good looking out.
i get the same thing.. only with mine I can see it when the device is turned off... recently its been overheating so i'm hoping TMO UK will switch it
I usually see it right when i force the device off (pull battery or Call+Menu+End reboot) for about 5 seconds and then it goes away. I'm not sure if my phone's behavior is normal and yours is messed up or what but something is amiss somewhere
I guess it's simply the way these LCD screen is updated. You don't really get 1ns response time with these small screens. They may even been designed this way to save power.
If you watch carefully, you may see the screen slowly fade away when you turn off the phone.
Yeah I tried it and you're probably right ( not sure how it saves power) but it does fade away after I turn it off.
Hello all, im still having issues with my touchscreen being i guess mapped incorrectly or sometimes hardly working at all. The more i think about it the more i have to think it can be fixed and also i think about anything that could have happened to the phone b4 it started acting up and there was nothing, not a drop or hit. The only thing i can put on the same timeline is right after i installed lockbot is when it started acting up, is this by chance only or is there a chance lockbot modifies a file that could affect the touchscreen? Any help with this or even ideas would be great. Thanks, veritas
Ps...also after searching google for a few days i noticed a good bit of people posting that they had diff issues after installing a couple diff lockscreen apps, the only issue is that they are all only open post with zero responses to point in the right direction. Thanks
This happened to me too after installing lockbot.
I'm gonna try to reinstall the firmware and will get back with the result.
Currently it just comes and goes .. mostrly comes.. The bottom part of the screen doesn't work at all, and the sliding seems to work harder. Also, when I type a message in landscape, I press a key, and another one is actually shown to be pressed.
I also tryed different versions of lockbot, 1.8 and 1.13 before the touchscreen sarted to have problems, but when it actually happened, I had version 1.8 installed and it froze when I was using it.
Just reinstalled originial firmware, and problem didn't go away.. this is starting to get serious..
i seriously doubt it's related to lockbot. many people use it with no issue.
yeah.. lockbot might have been a coincidence.. I realized that I was using a different charger (not the original one) when using the phone when this problem appeared, and this seems to be consistent with the problem.
Actually I was charging the phone from the usb port of the computer, using also an USB extender.
I'll take the phone to waranty .. I tryed removing the battery and not using it for a day, leaving it to use up all the battery.. no success.
I think that there may be some wild static running through the phone from when I charged it off the usb.
If I play with the phone a lot now, sometimes the bottom part works bot not the top part.. and sometimes, I can press something on the screen just by hovering the thumb over it.
I'm getting the same problem! I press at the bottom of the screen and it selects something in the middle or nothing at all and at the home screen I won't even touch the scrren just hover my thumb over and the screen responds like its trying to go to the next screen but then gets stuck in the middle.
I called t mobile and they said to soft reset or hard reset, did both and no fix.

It's definetly a hardware issue.. it's sad that these touchscreens are so sensitive to the charging currents..
I would have imagined that they would have added some protection for this ..
btw, it's not just a htc hero problem, the web is full with all types of touchscreen phones being afected when using non original charger.

That's ALL T-Mobile knows how to do. Reboot your phone or reset your phone. If that doesn't work, they tell you its broke. Anyone could do that job.

ANY phone gets affected when using a different charger. People don't stop and look at the voltage of the new charger and leave their phone on it for 10 hours even though it's charged.
You can't protect from stupidity. Not saying any of YOU are stupid, but seriously, don't give your phone 100 volts when its made to receive 12.
I quess that ppl that use non-original chargers would read the voltage output..
Like I said above.. I just used the usb port from the computer to charge, if this is wrong, maibe they should have disabled it

I was saying here that other parts of the phone are just fine.. if there is a problem with the charger, why doesn't the whole thing brake.
Got my 8gb nexus 4 a while ago, no longer under warranty. At any random given time, my screen starts to flicker. If I look closely, I can see an "image from before" - example, let's say I google just a picture of a smiley face. The screen later starts flickering. On the lock screen, I can see all the regular lock screen stuff, then faintly in the background I can see the picture of the smiley face. Usually the entire screen is also discolored to a greenish tint, sometimes with lines running up and down vertically. 2, 3 reboots and nothing, then put up with it while using the phone, and all of a sudden it stops.
That's problem 1.
Problem 2 is that whenever the phone is plugged in and charging the touchscreen goes wonky. Nearly impossible to unlock the phone because when doing my unlock patter, let's say it's just a Z pattern, after doing the top line of the Z, and trying to go towards the middle, it jumps to the bottom right. Over and over, or it just gives me a red line as if I let go of touching the screen. Finally say "F this" and unplug the phone to use it, because it's hard to use the phone at all when the touchscreen is jacked like that.
Problem 3 has just started within the last few weeks to maybe a month. Any time I make a phone call, as SOON as I hit the "dial" button, or tap a contacts name, the screen goes black - usually, yes, this is because of the proximity sensor to make the screen off when near your face. But no, this happens if I were to place it on a desk and tap "dial", if I put it near my face then away again... Of course this makes it literally impossible to dial numbers, use speakerphone, or even HANG UP during a call. As if that wasn't bad enough, after the call ends, the phone still won't "turn on" for another minute. I have to wait till the other person hangs up and the call ends.
If I call someone and get to voicemail and don't want to leave a voicemail I have to just hold powerbutton till the phone shuts off.
This is sadly probably the worst phone I've ever used.
I have tried reflashing stock image, tried custom images, custom kernel, custom kernel with stock image (franco) and they never solve problem 1/2. Haven't tried it yet to solve problem 3 because I know it doesn't solve the first two problems anyway.
1. are you using android 4.3? if so.. jwr kernels on jwr roms or jss kernels on jss/jwl roms. or you get tbe graphics issue you described.
2. use a different charger. ive had the same thing happen on different devices. even though it was their charger, replacing the charger fixed it.

Just want to make sure, you mean that, if I'm running 4.3, using a JWR kernel/Rom or JSS kernel/rom will fix the problem, correct? And if so... Well.. What is/are said Roms? Not familiar with those two acronyms.
Hi guys
I have moved from iPhone to a note 4 and loving it!
I was just wondering if anyone has found the touch screen occasionally doesn't respond to their touch and you have to touch it again. On the iPhone it only ever missed a touch if my finger was in the wrong place, but it never happened on the keyboard. Every so often maybe 5/6 times a day I touch a key on the keyboard and nothing happens, when I try again it's fine. I can't reproduce it, because when I tap anywhere on the keyboard something gets pressed. I was just wondering if this was normal?
Hope you are enjoying your phones!!
Anyone?
It's most likely cause your palm is on the phone. One of the downsides of a slim bezel on a big phone. Also keep in mind if your spen is on the screen, your fingers won't work. A case might help.
I thought about another part of my hand touching the screen, however with half my hand layed across my keyboard I can still type with the other hand. Thanks for the response
I Pele tried factory resetting today and not installed any apps, but it is still happening
I rang Samsung this morning and they advised I return I to the store and get an exchange. Luckily my local store got its first batch of note 4s in this morning and they swapped it out. I restored it all firmware updates put on it and now works fine! The only thing I haven't installed is a Google play system update thing. I was wondering if that was the cause x
Similar issues
I've had similar issues (in fact, that's what brought me here in the first place). Initially, I was able to tap on the screen in the text box and then continue typing (I use Swype). However, now my messaging app (default Messages) just freezes up, forcing me to close the app, clear the memory, and relaunch the app before continuing.
Were you using the default app and/or Swype when you had issues? I'm going to try to factory reset my phone to see if it helps.
It's taken a couple of weeks for this problem to develop, so please keep us posted if this problem arises again on your new phone!
Edit: Also want to point out that when I text, I use one hand to hold the phone and only a finger to swipe my text. As such, only the one finger touches the screen.
unable to use touch screen. only hard key were working >>Note4
Hi everyone,
today i just had the same problem with the touch screen. no response at all .. after i tried and took out the spen .. and surprise it worked with the pen.
tried again with fingers still nothing worked, so i used the pen to reboot the note4.
hope my experience helps.
cheers,

Same thing happened to me last night. The touchscreen became unresponsive while using chrome. The phone was a little warm but not bad. I didn't try the pen, sounds like a good idea. I am not certain it was a touch screen issue with mine. Almost more of a processor issue. I got the phone to lock. After pressing the menu or lock button to wake the screen it would take 5-10 seconds to wake. Then I could swipe my unlock pattern. It would not show any lines. I would wait, the screen would turn black after timing out in about 5s. The about 5s after I could hear the speaker make the unlock sound. I ended up doing a battery pull and that fixed the issue. Anyone else have something similar?
Should I try and replace it?

Observe to see if it happens when you're using other apps too. Chrome has been notorious for causing all sorts of problems, like reboots, freezes, etc on some devices.
Also it may be worth installing Chrome Samsung Support Library.

Got the same problem after 2 months of normal usage... I initially though I had installed a third party application which was causing the system freeze but this was not the problem.
- tried factory resetting and not installed any apps, but it is still happening
- When this happens if I take out the spen .... surprise it work. The pen allows me to do anything... But the touch screen does not work with fingers...
- I used the pen to reboot the note4... Still the same problem after reboot... I ended up doing a battery pull and that fixed the issue for.... a couple of minutes... Then the problem came back....
The only solution remaining was to return the phone.... They gave me a Note3 while my Note4 is being repaired...
That's a shame for a product of that price!
:crying:
Same thing is happening with my 2 months old note4 since two weeks ago. An horizontal line 1.5cm in width about 1/3 from the bottom of the screen, became unresponsive. At reboot it works sometimes then it becomes unresponsive again. It looks like in the image I attached, the difference is that the area is horizontal, not vertical. I'm taking my note4 to the store today for warranty, hopefully they will replace it. I haven't abused the device in any way, I have a screen protector since its first day.. I really hope this isn't a serious problem that affects many users.
Just like some of you mentioned above, the pen has no issues on any area of the screen.
Cheers!

same thing happen to my note4 today. the only difference is that yours was fixed for a couple of minutes after removing the battery. my note4 wasn't fixed after that. Only S-pen works, touch screen with fingers wont work. you mentioned you're note4 is getting repaired, did they tell you what may have happened to it so that i'll get an idea of the cause..

Never purchase a device without a return / DOA policy. Not worth the hassle. If it hasn't been 30 days, you should call your credit card company or Paypal and place the amount on dispute, wait, you purchased from another market, please tell you didn't pay by cash.

I have this problem after I flash CWM recovery, before this was flashed with twrp recovery, I reflash stock rom with odin, I flash many times CWM and TWRP and I still have the problem, my warranty it's void now but I think to go at Samsung store to see if they solve my problem. This problem look like a driver for touch corrupted, if somebody find it out how to fix or have any ideea please weritte here, thanks you
I've started to have this problem as well, lower part of the left side of the screen sometimes registers touch instead of scrolling! Very annoying, tried to update recovery, tried tapping screen, doesn't help. The worst thing is I cannot reproduce the issue at will... It seems pretty random.

Unfortunately, if the phone is on Verizon, the dialing codes will be disabled.
Potential fix.
Please excuse the necropost But I came here looking for a solution from google and others may too. I found a way to solve this issue/s.
There appear to be two issues affecting this.
1. Overloading the processor.
2. Static.
If your touch input is lagging or doesn't register at all but then suddenly does a few moments later, its likely a type 1. problem. I fixed this by disabling resource intensive features such as s voice. This also improved battery life and overall performance considerably.
If touch simply doesn't work at all, but s pen works fine then the problem is more likely type 2. That being static buildup in your person. Simply touch something that can ground you and it should fix the issue. A metal tap should work. Be wary, you might even get a little zap as you discharge
So I'm here in the US, but I'm using the Korean SHV-E300L. About a week ago, my phone fell off my bed and cracked slightly, but the touch screen responded perfectly. However, last night while I was texting, I noticed the screen scrolled a little slower than normal, and I couldn't quite text as fast. Today everything was normal until a few hours ago, where the screen would seem to hang and not respond, and sometimes the notification panel would start to drop, but never fully descend. I went into developer options and turned on "Show touches" and it shows a persistent input in the upper left corner of the screen. Other than replacing the screen, is there anything software related that I can do about this?

Do you have a stock firmware or custom? If you have a custom try re-flashing it if you never had issues with it. The best way to go is if you are on stock firmware soft-reset your phone by holding the power button until it forces power off then turn it back on. If that doesn't fix your issue then your hardware is messed up.
The S4 screen is very sensitive and I hate it sometimes because the smallest air bubble on my device makes the screen go crazy touching all kinda stuff. Good luck!

try doing a soft reset then it should help or at least im hoping so.
It hasn't worked but for some reason when the phone is in landscape it does a bit better. I'll try to do a screencap video
Also, If I just unlock the phone and let it sit, no touches register
