Guys after installing CloudyG3 ROM about a week ago, everything was fine but suddenly from last 3 days the lower portion of mobiles touch malfunctions.
Like when i try to swipe a webpage in the browser from down to up, the page goes up a little and then opens the link which was at the place i started swiping.
So basically a any swiping in the lower section of my display acts as a swipe and a automatic "press".
I am not sure if its a hardware issue or software, but really hope its a issue with eh software.
Please help brother
Thanks

I really doubt it an issue with the ROM. Look around the forums for the info to update the touch firmware for knock on issues. Even though you aren't having a kick on problem that may fix it. Another option would be to take it back to stock using the kdz or tot file depending on your variant and see if that fixes it.
Fix or not

Unfortunately its not a software issue. Its a hardware issue. Its probably present in almost all LG G2 devices. For some it shows up very soon for others its shows up a very later period of usage.
I had to completely replace my display as it is an issue with the touch sensor, and I dont know if its available separately, but atleast in my country its not available separately and so I had to change the whole display.
I costed me around $120.

My U8800 has a small dead zone across the bottom of the touchscreen.
I can see the stuff there, no problem. But an area about 32 pixels high (about 3mm) at the bottom of the screen doesn't respond to touch. This makes apps with a bottom toolbar a pain to use (such as Opera, various games, even most launchers...), as I have to touch the very top of the buttons to activate them.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to fix it? Some parameters in a config file I've not yet seen that I can just tweak or something? I imagine it's just a fault with my device, but it can't hurt to ask...
Update - it responds to tracking (I can drag/scroll/move into, the area) just not tapping.

Same problem I think it's just the old atmel touchscreen so I'm gona take mine back tomorrow and hopefully the warehouse have new stock that have the synaptics touch screen installed even though I bought mine on boxing day can u download elixir 2 from the market go to information scroll down to input devices the more information then hit the arrow twice and tell me if yours say atmel-rmi-touchscreen or if it has synaptics instead please reply asap
if you are on stock rom -> warranty
but if you have custom rom, try reflashing.. i have some problems sometimes with cm7, but just flashing same rom again usually helps, and if didn't, MIUI never lets me down ^^. and if it still doesn't work, flash stock rom and... warranty

Lol yea I'm gona go with the warranty coz I'm already on latest miui but I just wanted to find out if it was a problem with synaptics aswell or it was just atmel
Ah, yes. Mine's an Atmel. While the 'dead' zone is only a couple of millimetres, it can be an inconvenience... I might consider returning mine to the Warehouse too.. Warranty permitting, of course.
Haha yea gona be hoping I get a synaptics

I have the same problem with my screen, a stroke of 4-5mm on the right of the screen doesn't respond. I have a synaptics screen and I'm going to send it back next week.
It could be hardware problems or not ? i have this problem and i'm finding the replacement, but seems it's hard to find a touchscreen with the frame in Vietnam

Ever since the recent update, the touch screen seems less sensitive and slightly out of calibration.
anyone know how to re-calibrate the touch screen?

I would try this..
Go to settings, then language and input, then Samsung keyboard settings, then handwriting, then recognition time. This may or may not solve your problem but it's worth a shot!

My issue as of late is that when I click on small links surrounded by other links on a web page using the stylus, an adjacent link often opens. I am using the hover-dot for the stylus, and both it and the tip of the stylus hit the link that I want, but it actuates another one. The work-around is that I have to double-tap-zoom the screen and tap the link I want, then I can zoom back out.
Anyone else having this problem?

I am also using the zoom feature to open the links. It's a bit annoying, but a workaround...for now
Hey, I still am on the very first version of the note firmware because I don't want to screw up s note.
I get the problem you are describing once in a while, specially if the tablet hasn't been rebooted for days. My solution is a simple reboot and then the responsiveness of the touch is perfect again.
Also to mention is another issue which I get after a few days once in a while, the screen resolution all of a sudden seems messed up. The colors turn out weird and u can see definately more pixels. Maybe the display improving system of the note screen gets turned off some how and i get the pure 1280x800 screen. Luckily a reboot also fixes this. Also both issues happen very very rarely, maybe once a week.

I've found mine doing this too, however it's done it twice in the four days I've had it, it's making me think about exchanging and/or sending it back. Mine is an N8000 International 3G one.
My new Note too

I got a new Note 10.1 about a month ago (July 2013) and I believe it already had the updated version. The touch worked perfectly for about two weeks then - bang - can't touch link at all if it's small, can't get right link if they are close... Sometimes I don't know if I'm trying to touch a link that's "grayed out" or if I'm having a touch problem. I've even had to rub at a link to get it to work. But the keyboard and system buttons seem to work fine???????? How bad do dry hands/fingers affect touch?

Hello all, I hope this post can help you with the same or similar problem I had.
My LG gt540 started having a problem 2 months ago, the touchscreen got offset by 2 centimetres(1 inch) verticaly down, this was very annoying specially texting and couldnt access the top panel. Ex: to unlock the phone I had to press 1 inch above the green button.
Sometimes(I dont know why) it went back to normal, but about a week since the problem started it just got permanent, I tried rebooting, taking the battery, etc, nothing worked... Even tried to go to the calibration option but the offset was to much so it said out of range...
Then I read something online about the heat caused touchscreen problems, so I was thinking... hardware dont really like heat, and I always carry my phone on my pocket, the body heat could be damaging the touchscreen, lets try cold, it could solve it, long shot but what do I have to lose?
Left my phone in the freezer for 10 minutes, turned on, and it worked! for 1 month now its back to normal!
Hope it helps you, but try first freezing it powerd off, may be safer.
i have got my phone 2,5 years and i havent got any insue with the touch screen
Hi
My phone started doing the exact same thing a week ago...
This is the only thing I haven't tried, lets see if it works for me....
Thanks
I've had screen calibration problems since i started flashing custom roms.
In my case the screen positions are slightly off at the right side of the screen. When I want to type an "p" i have to touch where the "o" is on a german keyboard.
I'm trying your solution right now.

I have problems for the outer 4 sides.
It's worth to try.
Didn't work for me, it was only fine for 5 minutes....
Also didn't work for me.
Besides, after puting it in the freezer the display protection foil now looks a bit strange.

Hi, sorry for waking this thread up.
I also have the same problem, press 'o' to get 'p'.
I want to ask you guys who already tried this method. Did it work?
It's tempting, but it might be better to know more info.
Thanks.
Is there anyway to resize the screen to the working zone only?? My phone's bottom ~1cm has been touch unresponsive for about a month. Been using it with pie upto now, but the dead zone is increasing in size making typing and such very very difficult! I have searched the net for resizing the screen but haven't found anything i've been able to use..
Anyone????

This is most likely a hardware problem on the phone. I had the same problem with mine, only with me, it was the whole left side of the screen from top to bottom. I suggest you contact Google Play if your device is still under warranty. If they want you to send the device back, they have to inspect it and that means you can't have it unlocked or running a custom ROM. If they find the cause, and it isn't your fault, they will give you a new phone in the mail. I did this and the the people I spoke with on the phone were really nice. I got my new phone in about a week.

Yeah it is a hardware problem no doubt. Unfortunately my warranty period is over (the phone is 1.5 years old) and getting it's screen replaced would be quite a hassle as i don't live near the US or anyother place that google operates in. That's why i was looking for an app or mod of some sort to resize the screen to the working region only..
You may want to search some infos about the "wm size" adb command.
That should do the trick for you
ok so i've been able to resize my screen with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nomone.resolution_changer&hl=en . lowering the resolution puts two black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. Would have been great if the bars was only at the bottom
For a few weeks my G2 was showing some very weird touchscreen issues, like ghost touches and dead spots where touching wouldn't do any good. Although the former problem seems to have been gone, the latter looks kinda permanent. But yesterday another problem showed up: my cellphone will only recognize touches if I long-press the screen for like three seconds. Eventually if I'm typing some password the touchscreen will work as well as ever but only for a short time, then I'll have to press the screen for three seconds for every touch I want to be registered by the device. Anyone has had this before or heard about this? Is there a fix? I looked at lots of threads before and none of them seemed to sympathize with my issues.
It looks hardware failure. My advise would be try and go into service menu and then settings and update touch firmware. You never know it might work

That was my first bet. It didn't help much.
I had the same problem and it comes back with random conditions. I had the digitizer replaced (not the complete LCD panel) which had my problem fixed for almost six seven months until the problem showed up again but the dead zone moved Much lower than before. I have not gone for LCD replacement because i don't know if it will fix my problem. There are numerous threads here. Go try them Maybe they will work out for you.
