Touchscreen Issue - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I am having issues with my touch screen. Sometimes stuff will open automatically or the screen will act irratically and go back and fourth on my home screen by itself. Sometimes I can't click on things. The update all button in the playstore is unhittable. It's very frustrating. I'm on d803 running cloudy kit Kat 2.2. I've tried updating touch screen firmware. I've tried doing a clean flash of the Rom and other Roms. I've changed kernels. The just started happening out of the blue. Faulty screen?

Sounds like broken digitalizer.. Try kdz/tot stock, if that doesn't help, you probably need a new part. Stuff breaks

Try a drawing app...do you have a bar that won't register touch or only registers upward and downward strokes? Usually 1/4 inch thick and around an inch from the top of screen

EXEC touchscreen trouble

Had my Exec about a month now, no troubles with it (well dropped it once) it was working fine until last weekend, and now the sensitivity on the screen seems to switch itself off! i have to tap it repeatedly quite hard (with my fingers) for it to recognise that i want to tap the screen, then its fine, but as soon as i stop using it, it turns off again!
i've hard rebooted twice now and it solves the problem for a couple of minutes and then reverts to not recognising my screen taps..
anyone offer some help?
oh i guess i should supply some details about the firmware etc?
M$WM V 5.0
OS 5.1.195 (build 1487.2.0.0)
ROM V 1.30.124 WWE
ROM date 10/18/2006
Radio V 1.09.00
Protocl V 42.42.P8
ExtROM V 1.30.263 WWE
thanx
may be you can try a new ROM,
It seems that's a software problem.
i've looked @ O2's site and their ROM is far older than the one i currently have..
hmm one of the issues i've had with my exec is as if the screen is multiple selecting.
For example if i'm looking through my messages and one it already selected, I click on another message and that one gets selected too, dont know if this is an issue of similar nature to yours. After a hard reset it's fine so i'm not sure what causes it.

Might be your screen protector???
I have had the "multiple selecting" issue in Total commander.
I cannot be 100% sure but mine seems to be solved by letting the screen rotate between portrait and landscape - but making sure the today screen and plugins are FULLY drawn before rotating again.

Nah, mine had it from the start.
After almost 2 years, it has only just had the "T" of the soft key a little not so sensitive. The rest are ok.
Maybe re-calibrate may help???
I wonder...
Does this have anything to do with the devices 'Double tap sensibility' setting??
Just a thought... Maybe, as I have never had a problem like this so not really sure!!
Screen trouble multiple selecting
I had this trouble and found a definate fix its to with the loose contacts of the touch screen to the main board if u use a T6 screwdrivers under the batter is four screws lift the panel off. You'll see two grey bit where the coaxile cable joins to the board make sure the connection isn't loose put a folded piece of paper on top or something to keep it tight, i think its the top grey bit but u'll ave to keep testing till you get it right maybe bottom, then put the bottom panel back on screw it up put the battery back and it should work, well did for me.
hope this helps.

Hi just Wondering would you think this could be a problem with one that when the screen is opened and spun so the touch screen is on the outside that the touch dose not work?
It works fine when i just open it its when i spin it and close it again that it loses its touch.
Any ideas as to what might be wrong would be appreciated. ill try the suggestion above anyway.

HELP...Digitizer buggered

help needed
my digitizer appears to be on the way out, the touch screen alignment keeps shifting for no good reason, it used to do it only when i rotated the screen but now it even happens when i keep it in portrait only.
Also, right after i turn the uni on the touch screen won`t work for atleast a couple the seconds, no clicking noise and no indication i am touching it all.
The problem is getting worse with time.
Any thoughts/advice will be much appreciated.
same for me.
doesnt happen when i switch from portrait to landscape, but the alignment keeps getting messed up.
i'm thinking of opening the screen part, maybe i'll tighten the lcd and screws inside or something...

Bump. Any joy?
i gave in and ordered a new touch screen from ebay, £11 inc p&p, can`t argue with that.....
screen not arrived yet..... but the problems i was having seem to have gone away ?.
i`ve just flashed a different ROM, (although it was one i`d flashed before), and the problems i was having are gone, very weird.
this wasn`t the first time i`d re-flashed since the problem came up, and i`ve re-loaded all the same software i had when i was getting digitizer drift.
i will probably re-place the screen (when it comes ) anyway, but.....lets hear it for faults that fix them-selves.

Does my touchscreen have parkinson?

Hey everbody,
I can't remember if i've had this problem before, but my DHD came back from repairs 4 weeks ago. Touchscreen was removed to refix it because it was a little lose at some points.
Got it all back and repaired, new camera coating etc. But.....
I (Sometimes!) notice when i pull down my status bar, or my lock screen, and i stop before pulling it all the way down (So holding it in the middle of the screen with your finger).. the bar starts shaking like hell.
It's like i have a really big finger and the screen doesnt know where to go with the status bar. Even when i just hold the screen with my nail the problem stays.
Problem only occurs vertically, not horizontally and doesn't always seem to be there..
Do other desire HD's have this also? Is it normal? And if it isn't does anyone know a quick fix? (Tried cleaning screen, restarting..etc)
Thanks in advance!

Here you go! Seems that every DHD has this problem.
Noticed the topic, but not sure if it is the same.
I also have the problem with drawing lines diagonally when doing it slow, not fast.
But it does not seem to be the same problem as i am referring to right now.

This other brand phone seems to have the same

Incorrect my friend, you will notice that the OP states the problem is in vertical scrolling and not horizontal. That thread is all about the horizontal scroll problem that affects a huge number of touch-screens in a great many devices.
haahah funny title hope u fix that.

Bottom of screen (1cm) not touch sensitive with nav.

Hi all,
I dropped my nexus in water about a month ago, it didn't work for about 2 days and then day 3 it came out of rice and voila, it worked.. not a single issue, although the bottom of the screen where the nav buttons are, don't detect touch when the nav is visible, although when I remove nav and just touch the screen there, it acknowledges my touch.
Any thoughts? I've uploaded a video to explain a little more.
It's the same with stock rom, cm10.1 and pa.

Anyone? Maybe I should take it apart?

(Edit) Didn`t read the last part correctly (sorry for that), try reflashing the rom you are on or a factory image to see if the problem remains.
It works when no navbar is there, but doesn't when a navbar is present? Sounds like a software issue to me.
I thought so too, but I believe it's the "multitouch" function that constantly enabled down the bottom.. as if something is already touching it, so it doesn't allow a second touch. Which is why I thought I'd take it apart and see if something is possibly doing that..

nav bar doesnt work
but with no nav bar it recognizes your touch, so just reflash the rom or another rom. simple as that.

Touch Screen Issues Cloudy G3 ROM

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.
