Hey guys
I appreciate everyone's posts on this forum; I've learned a whole lot just by browsing the Development section.
To the topic at hand: ever since I rooted my Evo, I've getting ghost touches, where my phone uncontrollably "presses" certain parts of the screen and doesn't stop until I turn the screen off.
Do you guys know what is causing this? I would tell you the build of my phone, but I find that kind of useless when it's always happened. It's getting kind of unbearable now, does anyone know the solution?
Currently running stable CM6 with Snap v8.4 900mV base. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance
I have this problem as well doesn't seem to be related to any rom as over experienced it on several. Its damned annoying though.

Yeah, super annoying. I'm thinking of returning my Evo and getting a new one if the problem keeps going on. But, I flashed CM6 latest release with v7.5 of the Snap kernel and its running optimally. Awesome frame rate, no ghost touches yet, I would recommend you do the same thing
My screen is a little unpredictable but only when the phone is charging..
Yeah I had that problem and it was worse when I plugged it in..Got a new EVO and haven't even remotely had the issue since.

Yeah, it's a lot worse when I'm charging my phone, but I'm not getting it anymore.
I've been having this issue for a while, occasionally the phone would lag/stutter when simply swiping through home screens or the apps drawer (With no applications open) it would still run games and apps perfectly smooth though. Only way to fix the lag is to turn wi-fi off and back on, restart the phone, or wait for the lag to go away. Any thoughts on this? has anyone been experiencing this? I tried searching the forum, but couldn't find anyone experiencing this.
Here is a video I uploaded:
you might be better off trying a factory reset tbh. this hasnt been a vocalized issue
Do you have a constant wifi connection during the lag?
On my xperia arc it connects and immidatly disconnects again and because of this the lag appears..

no wi-fi issues, everything works fine, just lag when swiping through home screens and menus.
Same problem:/
Hey,
I have the same problem with the Nexus 4..
You already got a fix for it?
Are you using custom kernel? It was happening to me with one of the first version of faux kernel, fixed now

Did a factory reset but lag still occurred occasionally.
If you have a Google Play Music widget on your home screen, that may be the cause of the occasional lag. I removed the widget and so far no lag.
This is normal for an Android phone regardless of clockspeed, number of cores or GPU power.

Never had this issue with my previous devices and others seem to be not having this issue, so I don't think it is normal for an Android to behave this way.
I'll add my voice to this thread.
I've had mine since the weekend. Yesterday night, it started stuttering, in exactly the way you said. I restarted, it went away for a bit, then came back. I tried killing all running applications, made no difference. Another restart fixed it and its smooth as it was again.
Wonder if it is the WiFi causing it?
Incidentally, I was reading some custom kernels fixed the problem for some, but I'd rather not get back into all that nonsense (I've had enough flashing ROMs to last a lifetime thus far).

Meh....im not of much help but I can share that this happens to me to but only if I'm in a third party launcher. I'm sorry I can't see your video because YouTube is blocked in my country

What's happening in that video is not normal. Everything does appear to remain stock so just keep searching until you fix it. No butter to be found there!
I only get this initially when I restart it and when its on. Swiping first time stutters. Then all ok

So your phone is not rooted and you haven't flashed anything on it? Maybe you can remember when this started and you install some app , maybe it causes this? If so this is not normal! go to the thread dediacated to factory re-flash , this is the only option then

Phone is not rooted or flashed. Might be an issue with one of the apps but it would be very hard to isolate the issue. I have requested a replacement device from Google since I couldn't figure out the cause of it.
Mine does stutter ocasionally but thought that is normal... In xda-app it stutter on almost every single scroll.

It has no problems running apps, perfectly smooth, no lag at all. The stutter only occurs occasionally when simply scrolling through the home screen or app drawer.
It's normal because it's Android.
Android lags. And will forever. It lagged on the G1, it lags on the N4. It will lag on the N5.
It will lag until Google decides to fix Android.
All the people who claim that their device doesn't lag are lying. Simple as that.

Everyone has the Touch screen issue, even if you don't notice it.
Some have big problems with the touch, and everybody else has normal use touchscreen issue, the guys that tell you that they don't have the TS Issue is not using the phone enough.

I've been on the stock kitkat ever since it was released and don't have any issue related to touchscreen. The previous build (.681) did have issues like overheating, camera app freeze / lag etc. but I didn't see anyone here complaining about the touchscreen. Maybe I missed if anyone did, but would you kindly elaborate as to what issues exactly do you have? I would like to test it on mine.
Anyway, after a day's use on the latest .757 build, my Z1 seems to work as it should with no noticeable issues so far. No sound bug, camera app works fine (no issue with the shutter key anymore), no overheating or mediaserver issue. Battery seems to be better than on jellybean for me. Also attached a couple of screenshots below showing no unusual battery drain on standby (which many are complaining) of 7 hrs with 1 hr screen on time (with 85% battery left for use).
Wow, I seriously hope the RAM consumption has been fixed. The Z1 is the worse multitasking phone I've come across in flagships, just too much of RAM usage and not enough to go around to keep enough stuff in memory. Now to wait for [NUT] to release the rooted version for the C902.

yes, the touchscreen issues is rare and the Z1 works at 90% without any problem
I had this touchscreen issue only once. It didnt recognize the input and when it did, they were not accurate. But like I said it only appeared once. The only things that are annoying are the RAM usage and the camera app lag..I hope that they are fixed in this update
If you use 'pattern unlock' or 'swipe keyboard' you will have come across the touchsceen issue.
Works most of the time but there is defo issues there!

I'm by the phone every day I spend over 8-9 hours, and most of the time on the internet. Over the past nearly five months that I have this phone, I've never had a problem with the touchscreen.
I've experienced occasional very bright flashes on my tablet's screen, like a flash of lightning or a camera flashlight.
I'm on lollipop 5.1 now, but I think I've been seeing this since my jellybean 4.3 days.
Has anyone else had this? Is this a known issue? Is there a fix?
I've had this happen a few times, always when scrolling from one desktop screen to another, and only after installing 5.1. I'm using the Nova Launcher beta, and another user had the same experience and thought it was from the beta. Mysterious.
same here.. i had monitored the spontaneous flashing, this is almost every night around 10pm (at least in my local time GMT+8). I observed of course the sudden burst of light came from the led flash of the camera.
I suspect that this is some sort of an app permission that we allowed from installing a certain "malicious app" i dont know what app is that.. Maybe it took pictures of your sorrounding, data mining/gathering that is and Its kinda crossing our privacy and somehow creepy.
I hope someone would enlighten and help us regarding this issue.
I've had this happen since install 5.0, I've only ever used stock on my N10. When I installed 5.1 I did a complete wipe and only installed selected apps, I haven't even reinstalled the Amazon app store. Today I noticed it as I had the screen on but the brightness turned all the way down (for another problem I'm having) and I was just sitting here and it flashed suddenly for no reason. All it was doing was downloading a comic from Comixology.

That's exactly how it happens for me too - while reading, or doing something equally innocuous. Methinks it's a glitch in the hardware. I dunno how to report this to Google, or if they'll even listen.
Mine has been doing the same thing, I think it started with the first 5.0.x updates. A random flash, doesn't matter what I'm doing, can't predict when it will happen.
Running stock 5.1.0 rooted, no other mods.
Say Cheese!

Its 10pm Pacific and it happened to me. This is the second time. First time I thought I imagined it then felt a little creeped.
Now I'm full on creeped out. I tried recreating it by doing the same things. I had my thumb over the light sensor at the time so I thought...
But no that can't be it. My hands are always in the same place. I'm running stock. Anyone up for sharing apps that are installed and we can narrow this down?

Has been happening to me for the last couple of years, and in that interval I've installed several different ROMs and completely different sets of apps, except the basic Google apps that have been common. So if it is being triggered by an app, it must be one by Google.

I thought it could be AVG because I have the anti-theft enabled which takes a photo of the unauthorised user. I activated it recently to test it and my Nexus 10 had been flashing only since then.
I'm having this problem, too. I don't have AVG or whatsoever. It happened 3 times in a couple of weeks. Is somebody watching us or do they just need to supply their x-rated web sites?
Mine is doing this too. Did you find out why? Maybe there is somewhere a spy-app that has installed itself? Do you have a hint for me? I write from Hungary. Best regards. Eddie Taft

Sorry, I couldn't find out anything. And in any case it's nearing its end-of-life. Finding a good Marshmallow image for it was difficult enough; I don't think it will see Nougat, ever. The battery on my device is in poor shape, and I'm debating whether to invest in a replacement, or just let it run down and die quietly.
Is anybody else suffering from WiFi Dropouts? My phone drops out quite regularly while connected to my Bt home hub 4. Not had any issues with previous phones/tablets just since my edge+. Have reset my router and all is fine with the other devices in the house. Just putting the feelers out to see if anyone else is experienceing the same.
Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk
Yes - I experience intermittent dropouts. I can tell because it happens while I am streaming live video which then cuts out. The words 'wifiname connected' then appear as it immediately reconnects. It's annoying as it interrupts the stream. I also think it is happening when I receive a notification like a text message. I have tried playing with the phone's wifi settings but this did not fix it.
First time I have had this problem while owning many android phones over the years so I know it is not the routers.
At least I'm not the only one. You hit the nail on the head with it happening while streaming. Thats where I've noticed it the most. Now how to deal with the issue......

Have you noticed that it happens when receiving text messages?
Can't positively say yes to that. But will keep a close eye.

Happened to me too. Noticed it when it connects back. Surely affects the streaming!
Also happens to me but can happen anytime, also my Note 3 did it.

For me it's quite stable. But if you are using wlan roaming in your house with 3 or more same ssids this can happen sometimes when he is switching frequencies.

I have the same issues, my wifi is a lot slower compared to others as well. I think its a software issue, Ive gone through 3 replacements and all experience the exact same issues.
It could be kernel issue. Did anyone who faces that issue try to flash custom kernel? One of my friend solved by flashing a kernel. Thanks.

Thanks for the help bro but unfortunately this hasn't resolved my issue. Tried different roms with different kernels and the problem still presists. Wifi on 5g is slower than all the other devices and after a while it will just drop and not connect to the Internet. I'm hoping it's a software issue but I'm starting to sense it's the hardware .
