I bought a tempered glass screen protector (one of the really thick ones). The touch screen responsiveness works fine on my G2 with the screen protector, however, when the phone is charging (on any charger), the touch screen doesn't work right....Some areas I have to press down hard and other are super sensitive. and some don't work at all...Once I unplug the charger, everything works fine......and I have tested this without the screen protector and phone works fine with or without charger. I have no idea how a screen protector can break my phone only while charging. It makes no sense...
to simplify one last time, my phone works fine, with screen protector, it works fine.....and with screen protector AND charging.....brakes
Quite normal, kernel dependent, on my devices last dorimanx minimize the problem, but remains.

I dropped my iMate and the screen cracked. I had the screen replaced by PPCTechs and they did a great job. The device worked properly after a hard reset. After a few hours of use, the screen alignment drifts off. Typing on the onscreen keyboard becomes difficult and eventually impossible. After a soft reset and realignment of the screen, it works well for awhile.
Does this sound like a problem with the new screen or was something else maybe damaged (memory) in the drop? Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?
Fixed
The folks at PPCTechs recommended I peel back the screen protector 80% and smooth it back down. Evidently the screen protectors can develop "hotspots" that cause this behavior.
I have known the touchpad to cease operation if the screen protector is tucked under the edges of the front cover but I have never heard of misalignment due to air bubbles. I would try what they say and if the problem persists I would return it to them and ask for it to be fixed.
It's been working now for a day without problems. BTW, there wereno bubbles. PPCTechs installed the screen protector when they replaced the screen and did a very nice job. I am guessing it may have to do with temperature differences between the protector and the screen itself.
Hey, i've bought a couple different screen protectors including writeshield, but they dont really do what i want them too. when i got my tilt it had a screen protector on it, which still allowed me to use the touch screen protectors , with all of the screens i have purchased, they are to thick to use the screen.
Does anyone know a place you can buy a screen protector where the touch screen is still usable??
thank you
Any screen protector made for the the Kaiser should let the touchscreen work. I have a very thick one on my old Treo that still didn't cause a problem. Is it possible that you've accidentally got your screen protector in-between the screen and the casing? Something like that might cause a problem.

I don't have any casing on my phone! im not sure why the touch screen doesnt work then =[, it works fine when i take it off, but with this screen protector on, it doesn't have any response!
By casing I mean the bit of the phone that you hold. Every phone has that
wow
idk what happened but its working now...
thanks for your help =]
So I removed the included screen protector since it had a deep scratch on it. I read on the forums that you don't need the protector and that it actually works better without it.
Well my experience has been the complete opposite. Ever since I removed the protector I'm ready to smash this bloody phone. It's next to impossible to use due to the humidity in my area or something. The SMALLEST amount of moisture on my finger tips or even in the air will cause the screen to go haywire and register touches all by itself. Apps will open by themselves...i can barely type anything as it keeps typing multiple characters on it's own or other silly stuff. If I wipe down the display it will work fine for the first little bit until it gets that tiny bit of moisture from my fingers on the screen again and it starts going haywire again. It's a hassle just to try and unlock the phone from the lock screen at times.
So is my phone defective or is just the suffering I must incur by living in a humid area. I can't use the phone like this so I guess I'll have to look at buying a new screen protector. But if this is not normal and is a fault in my hardware then i would like to return it and get a different phone. I didn't really have issues with the screen protector on.
Ive kept my screen protector on my phone, works fine until i have moisture or (rain drops) on the screen, then my phone doesnt respond and also misfunctions the position of where i touch on the screen not sure if this is normaly as its the rain drops on the screen..
Tested witht he iphone 4 in the rain and works brilliant, why doesnt the X10 do the same !! :/

As you may know, those screens are capacitive displays, that means they're activated by sending (very) small amounts of electricity and are kinda "looking for a conductive material" in order to register an input.
The conductive material can be your finger, or something like... a raindrop or your screen, so that's why it thinks you're pressing that part of the screen...
Now it's even more obvious without the screen protector since it's directly on the screen.
As for why the iphone doesn't have issues with that, it does, but the screen being multitouch it's not as bad...
thanks for the info.good to know.
I didn't like the thick screen protector as my thumb/finger seemed to drag and not slide smoothly. I took it off and replaced it with a slightly thinner protector. I'm much happier with the feel now.

@smok3yjk - probably best if you do as Angelahp - get another screen protector on there.
we all know the issue of the false click or the touch screen being too sensitive.
after trying to fix it by changing the (max1187x_touchscreen_0.idc) and change touch.filter.level= 2 to touch.filter.level= 5 found in \system\usr\idc.
it didn't work very well. so what i did is just add screen protectors to the screen.
how to fix it for sure:
buy the glass screen protector and put it on the screen.
and then buy one plastic screen protector and put it on the glass screen protector.
this should do the trick and isolate your hand from the screen a little so it does not get too sensitive by the hand.
in my situation i used one glass protector and 2 plastic screen protector to be sure that even if my hands get sweaty i will still use the phone without any issues. and i still have the touch.filter.level= 5.
now the phone works fine the added protectors can't be seen as if they are not put on the screen. i think it's not even 1 mm above the screen.
i hope this will help anyone who has issue with the screen being too sensitive.
Hi
I have big issue with my phone. When my phone is lying (on bed/table etc) screen touch sensitivity us terrible in upper part of screen... sometimes recognize touch, sometime not.
When I pick up phone - it's much much better.
I'll add info- I have glass protector from beggining

i dont understand very well your problem .. your screen is not working right some times? thats the problem?
Yes - only when phone is lying (horizontaly)
I've found other thing... When I plug charger to phone - there is no problem
I face it with tempered glass on... Remove your tempered glass and you will be fine
Yes I would suggest the same solution.. but it doesn't make any sense, the tempered glass might doesn't fit well, but why when you plug the charger the screen response perfectly, I don't get it.
i took off the glass - it's fine, but when i set up new tempered glass on screen - the problem came back...
Phone is charging - touch sensitivity is fine
Phone is not charging - touch sensitivity is poor (in upper part of screen)
As you noticed - when there is power / phone is charging - everything is fine... so it's probably not normal
====EDIT====
"BETTER" INFO - touch works perfectly - when usb-c cable is pluged in
i don't need to plugin cable to charger for better touch screen....
====EDIT2====
same thing when i plug headphones to minijack port - no issue with touch screen.
