Touch Issue Spen works but fingers dont. - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a very peculiar problem with touch screen. My phone does not recognise my touch after swithing on or unlocking. It happens after 2 seconds or 2 minitues. Time and no of touch do not matter. Its just happen no matter what I do. But everytime this happens I lock the phone & unlock it and then only it recongnise my touch. This is keep happening again and again. S pen works and thank God for that I can manage. I have tried everythig from updrading firmware by dialing *#2663# to flashing official ROM. I have tried flashing Dr Ketan ROM, Ram ROM, Norma ROM, EmotionOS, Emotion Revolution, Nemesis ROM, Emotion AOSP, Resurrection Remix, CyanogenMod, Omega ROM and more.
My phone once got wet in my pocket due to rain. It was all good untill I swith it off to dry the battey. Screen did not work properly after booting for the first time but then I discharge the battery completely and dried it for a whole day and everything worked out fine. After few days I flash a new ROM(I don't remember which one) and then screen issue started.
Can anybody please help me with this? I have a N910F note 4 currenly running Red Dragon ROM.

I thinks its a software issue rather than a hardware. Besides I dont konw how to open the screen and I dont have the right tool to open it. The screen does recongnise touch up untill it doesn't. Locking and unlooking the phone makes the touch screen work but only for few minutes or seconds. Is there another way you could hepl me fix it ?

Tty installing a custom recovery like twrp it has an option of touch if it also doesnt recognixe it there just knw its a hardware issue

Broken LCD of what?!

Respect,
Please experts for help
During the day the screen stopped responding to touch, everything worked perfectly until today, when just like the screen stopped to detect touch pen / finger.
Do not operate any buttons, Call, Home, Back, End
OS is built up, loaded Touch Flo, clock number, which means that as regards the software all right, or cheat? Will flashing help? Or was it simply the fault of the screen?
Thanks for the reply
Sounds like the screen's gone. But try flashing some other roms to make sure.
I think it would be a good idea if you flashed back to stock ROM first, then try flashing to another custom ROM if everything works out fine.
Would agree with Mastoid. Try flashing or restoring stock rom first and then flashing cooked rom
more easy to try a hard reset first.
try this.. on ur device where it says htc with ur pointer finger and thumb squeeze where it says htc without crushing the screen but press firmly to make sure the connection touch... while ur pressing on it with one hand use ur other hand to see if ur device will respond if so and u try it without pressing and u get nothing ur digiterlizer is done and needs to be replaced

Is there a fix for this? No matter what rom I use, Didn't try Froyo, but after receiving a call, the screen stays black, so I spam the hard keys to wake the screen after about a minute or so. Can anyone help?

I have the same problem with 2 HD2 phones. Not aways, but most of the time. I ask this question before - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1349809 , but i didn't get the answer.
May be it is hardware problem, but if it is it's gonna make me a problems every time.
If you figure it out, pls PM me.
Once in a while i have the same problem, but when I clean the screen (until it looks shiny ) and it gets better…
(I clean mostly the top of the screen)
I don’t believe it is the “solution” but works for me…

If you push the End button (or any other button) before clean the screen, what happens. Does the screen stays black???
I think that this is a software problem, because other ways every time when I press the End button (or any other button) it will give me Nothing.

I have the exact same problem. I am using the SD card android version. I've tried different ROMs, but with all I have this problem. When I boot into WinMo I don't have this problem at all, so it doesn't seem to be hardware related.
I can use the phone with anything else without any problem using the SD android version, only when I recieve a call or call out myself the screen blacks out and the phone seems unresponsive. After about 30 seconds to a minute the phone shows the lock screen.
I would love to work with the Android version for normal operation but because of this I still boot into Winmo within office hours...

Your better off doing what I did. In Android, sonewhere in the settings for calling, change the sensor to off so it never blacks out. In Miui rom its in program's, then calls.
Sent from my LG-VM670 using Tapatalk
Task 29 and start fresh. Only thing that got rid of it, test when you first start the rom to make sure it works normal, then start adding your apps and such.
Or increase the 125mhz CPU settings to 245mhz under cyanogenmod settings/performance/CPU or governor settings.

my screen stay black (off) when i take the phone away from my face EVERY call as well. this is what i do and it works everytime.
1.)pull the phone away from my face (duh)
2.)starting with it facing the sky, i turn it to face the floor (when i say facing i mean screen up ... then screen down)
3.)as soon as i turn it back over (screen face up) it turns on
im thinking its a sensor issue??? either way it works and i dont go on a hardware button mash fest to turn my precious leo back on.
if this helps please send thanks ... if not tell me im crazy :-D

I just download this apk and will try it ....
But I think it's hardware problem (may be with the sensor), because when I turn back on Win Mobile 6.5 i have the same problen ...
I think to bring the phone to service
... when I take it back will tell you what is exactly the problem ...
Task 29 then install windows, next install the right radio version , finally install the android
like dragonovus say´s try completly reinstalling android.
and please feedback here
BUILD.PROP baby!!! there is a tweak for this and i believe it works( in the prop ) dont know exact address but google "build prop tweaks" also use setCPU and set the lower number to about 350+ also try to use the end hardware button less cuz this has been addressed in another thread..... the button sticks or sum crap..... i use zmooth and never use the red end button........... good luck
Will try all, but now I use ' Screen stays on '

well ... for me Screebl Lite didn't help me
Reinstalling Windows is not necessary. Just make sure you have the right Radio and HSPL then do a task 29 before installing Android. But your problem is most likely hardware related. The end call button is most used and therefore prown the wear and tear... Try using the red end cal softbutton. I guess you only have that problem when you use the hardware button right?
In that case it's the problem with the button and not the software...
And at the end did anyone of u solved this? If u need help post reply or pm me. I think i have a solution for u.

Yes, man! I have the HSPL2.08 and radio 2.15.50.14 ... I think we all do. I can't use the soft buttons, because I can't see them. That's is the problem. The screen is black and won't lights up. May be I can't read you ... but I try to run back Win Mobile just to check is it from android OS or the sensor...
build.prop does not help
I tried the build.prop thing. I added those 2 lines at the end of the file:
ro.lge.proximity.delay=25
mot.proximity.delay=25
No change, still a black screen after any call.
Any other idea ? How to completely deactivate the proximity sensor ?
Fixed !
I finally fixed the issue by removing the screen protector sheet and cleaning the upper left part of the screen with a dry towel.
It works fine now. It was just a problem of the proximity sensor not being exposed enough.
I hope this helps.

[Q] touch wont work after screen of and on

hi after long time i installed android on my fathers hd2 coz he bought one s but problem is before and now everything is fine and awesome ^_^ but after each on-of the touch wont work only buttons work that fixed after a restart!
touch also works after plugging usb
Could be the infamous power button issue? Try to wake up the device using a button other than the end button.
Digitizer starting to fail, bad luck or much use.

I don't overclock my phone, I don't see a need for that.
About NativeSD, people say it's faster than NAND, but I haven't seen any difference.
You can follow this guide by mengfei: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896213
It's for triple booting, you can follow the part for dual booting. And yes, you can dual boot. I am just not sure whether you need to do any formatting, just make sure everything is backed up.

GS4 touch keys are dead !!!

Hey guys,
So i bought my phone yestarday,played around with it for a while and suddenly my touch keys stopped working.I keep my touch key light on "Always Off" ..so i thought that maybe if i turn them on,it will do the trick..didn`t work,they don`t even turn on anymore.I did a restart,same thing...only that the phone started laggin` real hard (when i unlocked`it and while using the drop tray).I turned the phone off and on again,same thing..i turned the phone off,pulled the battery out,waited a couple of minutes..same thing.I eventually did a factory reset..didn`t work as well.The phone is stock,haven`t got around to rooting it so it runs on 4.2.2 with XXUAME2 build.One more thing..before i did the factory reset,i digged around the internet for a bit looking for a solution and i came across the *#2663# code...i used that and tried the Touch FW update but it only said "Factory keystring has crashed/stopped working" ..after the factory reset i tried the code again,but the Tough FW button does not appear anymore.Now,do you think it`s a software problem that can be fixed (i would like to avoid rooting since if it does not work i want to send the phone at the samsung cervice center) or it`s a hardware fail and i should just stop looking for solutions and send the phone at the service?Thanx for your time
P.S i had a GS2 so far,rooted`it myself,changed a TON of roms on it and never had a single problem...so for me GS2 > GS4 for the moment

Well, i think that to know if it's a software or a hardware problem you will have to find out by yourself.
First thing to do is to flash a new official rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41072377&postcount=1 (and you don't have to download the attached files in the post)
Then do a factory reset from the phone recovery (VolUp + Home + Power - navigate with the volume touch and confirm with the power button)
For the roms take a look here :
GT-I9505 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41072426&postcount=3
GT-9500 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41072392&postcount=2
And dont forget to search for the same rom that you have, before you flash , check it by dialing : *#1234#
And if you did all this and it haven't resolved your problem so it's Hardware, just take it to the Service center and don't worry for the warrenty because it will remind active and official even after the flash
Thanks for the info and the advice!
Though now i`m convinced that it`s a software glitch,because i just restarted my phone and the touch keys turned on (unless samsung managed to build a phone that self repairs).I`m gonna be on stand-by with that stock rom,just in case it starts acting up again.
L.E Ok,the touch buttons crashed again,so i flashed the stock firmware and they are working now.Hope they don`t die again
Thanx for the help,again
many lastKi
Well,still no luck ..the touch keys keep getting unresponsive..after a while they sprung back to life and so on
I reflashed the stock firmware a couple of time,same thing...
When i use the *#2663# code and press the Touch key FW update it gives me a "Unfortunately,FactoryKeystring has stopped" error, i should mention that on the menu it says:
- Phones`s Touch key FW version: 0x10
- Part`s Touch key FW version: 0xfa
The only app that i have on the phone is WhatApp ....sooo ..dumb question,could WhatsApp be responsible for this behavior ?
L.E i rooted the phone,intalled CWM and the Google rom for GS4 ..touch keys didn`t even buged so i`m unrooting as we speak,returning all to normal and i`ll send the phone to warranty tomorrow

It's funny you mention that, because my GS4 start to restart and shut down by itself. The first thing I did was remove WhatApp because was always gaving me errors and then pull the battery out for 1 hour, since then no more reboots or shutdowns.
I was on Wanamlite when I experienced that. But all I did was an easy reboot and when it comes back, I wipe caches xD and it comes back..
I also prefer the button lights to be off.. so it's always off from the very start

Ok,i just got my phone back from warranty (it`s the second time..the first time they just resofted`it ..LOL) ..and it`s all peeachy.They changed the whole screen (i believe it`s called "digitizer" ) and that pesky problem is gone.Also ..before this i had a weird effect when i was scrolling through menu`s...like the screen was leaking or something,but now it`s gone.To anyone else that bumps into this problem (i see that the HTC One has this problem as well) ...well,there`s no way around this unless you replace your digitizer.Cheers

[Q] Phone recognizing my touches on touch screen at wrong places

So basically after flashing my note 4 several times my screen messed up. At first i flashed back to stock tmobile rom and it didnt work. Basically the problem is if i touch a certain part of my screen, it reads it as if i pressed a lower part of my screen. It doesnt read where i want to press it and the calibration is way off. I tried a calibration app but it did not work, and the only way im still using it is through my s pen which works perfectly fine. I even tried to flash a new rom (cyagonmod) but it still had the same problem, so i flashed back to stock rom and its still glitchy, PLEASE HELP!
I dont know exactly the service code.But there is a code that updates the touch screen firmware.Many users have solved this problem.If you can google or some other user can tell
