Do you have any touchscreen trouble with your note 4? Like freezing and oversensitivity and/or doubletapping when you tap once? My screen is periodically unresponsive in lower right corner. If anyone else has this problem please comment. (PS I started having trouble with my note after I installed factory updates.)

i have lower right corner touch issues with s-pen, finger works fine, even s pen works ok but have to press a little harder at that spot.... Noticed it too late to replace the device. Is it the updates or the magnet of s-view cover as some people say. I am not sure but it isn't that bothersome..its like <1cm area on the corner, rarely get to press that anyways..

I'm having some weird issues with my touch screen. I'm using the Touch Keyboard input method so I can use my thumbs for typing instead of using the stylus all the time.
Very frequently, when i use my thumbs to push buttons near the bottom middle or bottom left of the screen, the start menu auto pops up! It is absolutely driving me mad! I tried to recalibrate the screen, doesn't help. I tried to take off the screen protector and try again, no difference.
Has anyone else has this happen?
Hi,
Yes, it's a common Problem with the Trintiy.
But be happy, that you don't have these Problems.
I have heard, that there are Problems, when the device heats up and the casing pushes on the top-left corner. But with my Trin it only occurs, when I'm tiping something and push a little bit to hard in the middle of the screen. But it doesn't disturb me too badly, as long as it won't get worse.

So it's more of a design issue than anything else? Damnit! I was hoping there'd be some sort of fix or that it was just my phone that was defective somehow.
Sigh, I've never noticed this problem until I started using the soft part of my fingers to type.
Anyways, thanks for your reply.
Anyone else having their touch screen stop working property until they have to reboot? It's like it gets way off on where I'm actually clicking.
I have experienced that, but only after I had flashed the modaco rom. I basically returned to stock firmware this morning and am having to re-root my phone...
I have had a couple of occasions where it doesnt seem to respond correctly.
For me its like it looses the calibration, seemed to noticed it when the device is tilted horizontally.
reboot sorts it, only happened once or twice though.
If the phone is in your hand, make sure your other fingers aren't curling over the screen around the edges to much.
I noticed this happening, and backed my fingers off around the edge of the screen and it started working fine immediately.
I think the screen is just extra sensitive.
Curious if that helps.

I read somewhere (maybe on this forum even) that non-multi-touch systems have this problem. Have the same issue with my HTC Magic, but after a while you learn of a way to use the device single-handed while not touching the screen.
I dont know if this helps or not but I have no idea what you guys are talking about

The calibration problem (the screen registers a wrong spot than where you touched) comes up if you try to use a non-multi-touch phone single-handedly, so part of your palm (between the thumb and index fingers) touches the edge of the touch screen. Especially if you are trying to reach a top area of the screen while holding the phone with just that hand, likely some part of the palm touches the bottom of the screen.
If you want to try having the problem, you can touch the edge of the screen with a finger and try to click a link with another. It won't register the right spot.
Supposedly the problem should go away as soon as you lift that body part up from the screen.... so I don't know if this helps the OP or not.
same issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=615711
does not look like its happening all the time. Ran few tests and still can't duplicate the problem in order to find the cause. so far this happened about 3-4 times on my phone.
i hope this gets resolved soon and that its not the touchscreen issue.

I've had this exact thing happen to me a few times. I notice the tip of a finger on the edge of the screen, move it, then it works fine right after. Sometimes happens with the base of my thumb hitting the bottom left corner too.
Just make sure you're not accidentally touching any of the touch area and it'll work fine.

Touch Screen Stops Working

I have had this same issue on my G1 as well a N1. This problem only happens from time to time, as happes with stock ROMs and custom ROMs.
For the N1, I was initial pulling the battery; however, I have found that if I hold the power button down (don't let go) and then touch the screen to unlock or power if off.
I have a friend with the Eris who was having the same problem; Verizon released a patch earlier in the week that seems to have solved the problem for him.

You can perform a soft reset on the Nexus One by holding volume down, the trackball, and pressing the Power button on top. A half second later, your phone will reboot.
I am also having these touch screen problems, and I can confirm I am not touching any other part of the screen to have it interfere with the non-touch-screen interface. I been testing with what people has been saying on here with having any other part of the screen being pressed, so I have been testing it out and I can say its a different response then what I'm experiencing.
Here is what is going on with my nexus one:
1) it happens at random times (my device is on my table and I am pressing buttons with one finger)
2) it only affects the bottom-left portion of the screen when it happens, touching everywhere else is fine
3) it thinks I'm pressing an area around the soft keys, an example is if I press 'A' it thinks I press either the '?123' or the 'back' button, same if I press 'd' it thinks I'm pressing the 'menu' button.
I can conclude that since not all nexus one owners has this problem it is a device issue, which what is going on is probably the same as if someone was accidentally pressing a part of the screen, but it could be part of the device is assembled incorrect or deformed. The physical form of my phone is off on the right side, I can feel the gray plastic part next to the black border next to the right of the screen is a little more raised then the left side.
But there is my experience with whats going on to me and my two cents.
Ive had this a little bit on my device as well, but I think it's a software issue since it went away when I pressed the home button.
edit:
Also it has happened exclusively in Dolphin browser
here too
Sporadically, it happens with my N1 as well. When pointing at the middle of the screen (in a list for example), the input registers 2 cm below my fingertip. Rebooting fixes this temporarily but it is annoying.
A SW update could perhaps cure this behaviour?

I just had this happen for the first time, all my presses were registering way below where i was touching, tilting into landscape in an app then back to portrait fixed it for me.
So now it happened to me too. I have the Nexus One for almost two weeks and I never had the unresponsive touchscreen. Of course I noticed that the center of the softbuttons is shifted upwards and that they don't register very well in the middle where they should and I had the problem before that the sms text input box didin't registered in the center so that the keyboard wasn't popping out but that is all only a problem of adjustment. Today in the morning after my phone was on standby over night I put in the charger to charge it and I got an email with pictures. I scrolled through the email and all of a sudden the screen became totally unresponsive. I tried to scroll and the screen registered at a complete different place. All of a sudden the email was gone because the phone registered the delete button even though I never pressed it. I could close the gmail program but I had a hard time to scroll between the home screens and the live wallpaper became unresponsive too. I decided to do a restart but I had a hard time to press the shutting down button because it was unresponsive too. This all happened not after heavily usage of the phone but after maybe 1 minute usage.
I am sure that I didn't touch another part of the screen when this occured because I realized before already that the screen becomes wacky if you touch it at two different places (lack of multitouch, so stupid to disable it). I hope that this is a software issue too. I can live at the moment with the 3G problem because it doesn't stop me from using the phone. The unresponsive touchscreen scares me more because because it becomes completely unusable.
i've noticed this with low battery. Twice its happened to me, the first time was when i first recieved the handset. and secondly was this morning when my phone was off with no battery again.
anybody want to leave their battery to empty out and try test if this is correct?
I've had this happen a few times in the ten days i've had the phone. I always make sure I'm not double dipping on the screen, and its easy to do since it will exhibit this behavior for a few minutes.
In my experience battery level has no effect on it.
A reboot always fixes the issue.
I figure it's software based.
So I've been getting ghost or phantom touches on my phone for the past few weeks. I couldn't figure out what was causing it because I've never dropped my phone and it never got wet. The phantom touches only appears down the right side of the screen in almost a straight line. It doesn't happen all the time and I thought it was random but I got it to occur at a successful rate. If I press down on the top left corner of the screen, it would cause the phantom touches. When I press and hold down the top left corner of the phone, everything is fine and no phantom touches appear. I decided to tighten the screws on the top left and it seems to have made it a little better. I'd have to really tap on the top left of the screen to make the phantom touches appear again and it doesn't occur at a 100% rate but it's still occurs.
Anyone know what is causing this? I thought it would be a broken digitizer but it doesn't make sense that tightening the screws would cause the issue to almost fix itself. Problem with the geomangnet? I'm not sure what that does really.

Put 2 (or more) fingers on the screen of your Note 3 in a horizontal line in landscape mode. You can also use Portrait mode with 2 fingers.
Move the fingers slightly about, trying to have both (all) in a straight horizontal line.
After only a bit of trying one (or more) detected fingers should disappear (become undetected) or ghost touch detections should appear.

Thank you for the help and suggestion but I've already tried this. My touch screen is fine in terms of detection. I can put 10 fingers on the screen and it would recognize all 10 fingers. My issue has something to do with the top left corner of the screen affecting the right side of the screen. Like something is loose. When I clamp down on the left corner of the phone, everything works fine. No ghost touches (that sounds dirty) or any of the sort. When I let go of the top left corner, I will some times get ghost touches.

It's not a firmware issue. It's definitely a hardware issue since it starts tapping on buttons inside TWRP recovery. Ah well, I tighten the screws even more and it looks like the phantom touches are gone. Hopefully it stays that way even though I destroyed a screw in the process. Those tiny things are fragile.
if the touch ghost click is in some certain location most because of pollution (mainly chemical), best is use ISO alcohol also use a very tinny sharp blade, like a very thin one and slightly go along side the place that does this, sometimes you have to try both horizontal and vertical, then clean with ISO, do a few times it does alright. it does work on most of touch screen include note 3 as well. I've been in IT and fixing all electronic for last 30 years in New Zealand. if you had problem text me on 021 548484
This is a strange one to me. I've noticed the phone missing touches when I touch the menu or share buttons with my thumb as those menus won't open and respond. Sometimes it will work properly 10x in a row, sometimes touches are missed 10x in a row. I have show touches enabled in the developer options so I can also see touches being missed that way too. The strange part is this doesn't happen when I use my finger, it properly registers touches in those locations every time. Has anybody else noticed this? Can anyone provide insight as to why this would be?
Hey, I noticed this aswell... Tried with multitouchtester, but everything looked Fine...
The top right of the screen always used to give me trouble too.
Yeah, this issue pretty annoying to me, but at least there appears to be a workaround. I am wondering if this could be due to a firmware issue and if it could be fixed with an update?
To me, it is the top left corner. It is not severe but it is there.
Coming from Nexus 5x which had same problem after an ROM update, I hope it gets fixed in future update as in the case of N5X.
Not getting this issue at all. Running on 58.019S
Hi
I am using lenovo Z2 plus an have been encountering problem with touch not working. The touch works for 1 second after unlocking the phone and then stops automatically. I have tried resetting the phone, installing new custom roms but in all cases touch works for some time after unlocking and then stops working. Any suggestions on what to do?
Hey guys, is there anyone who can suggest me what to do? Would really appreciate some help
I guess touch display is broken. I had the same problem after a slight drop. Screen was perfectly ok but touch was broken. I replaced the whole screen since it was easier method

I'm facing the same problem right now.
Is it working for you now? Help me fix this.
I had same problem. I found a temporary solution some where-
1. Lock phone screen.
2. Put your right thumb anywhere on screen and keep it there.
3. Now unlock your screen with right hand fingers, dont lift your left thumb from screen.
4. As long as your left thumb is on screen, it will respond normally, it ayou lift your left thumb, screen will freeze and you have to repeat all avobe steps.
I know this is very annoying, but something is better than nothing.
Well my phone screen touch worked normally itself within 1 month without any repair.

I'm not facing this problem anymore. But, touch doesn't work on top of the screen.
I did whatever you told, yet it doesn't work. Is there a solution for this?
