Hi! First post so sorry if its been asked before, is there any way to disable that annoying feature that makes the defy and others ignore a touch if held for so long? It makes some games unplayable (jet car stunts anyone?) Because you need to hold a button and you can't cos it ignores you after about 30secs, also is there any way I can boost touch sensitivity? I find the defy a bit shaky on recognising some touches, especially when typing, thanks for any help or infos
p.s I'm on CM7 cherry picks

When you touch and hold an area of the screen after about 30secs the touch will no longer register even though your thumb is still there. Apparantly its to stop the screen staying awake if you get water on it, I want to disable this, sorry hope it makes more sense now D:
Noone has a solution to this? I can't sprint on Nova 3 in multiplayer for long because it stops responding
then u go for the never turn off option in the display menu..screen will stay awake until u press the power button..hope it helps..defy's touch is too gud man..i nevr had any problem..

I really should explain better, thanks but that isn't what I mean, the screen will still be awake, just the touch will become "invalid" somehow if you hold the same spot too long, to demonstrate download multitouch visualiser from the market and hold 2 points, if you hold for long enough the touch disappears
I totally got your point as it happens to me too.. but occassionaly... i think its a hardware fault in the touchscreen.. like you said, it stops getting the point after 30 seconds, actually, the problem is that it starts reading your touch at another point on the screen, so you cant accelerare or sprint in jet car stunts and nova because when you tap the respective buttons, the touchscreen recognizes it as you are tapping somewhere else... i myself didnt found a solution to this problem, i just turn the phone on, wipe the screen and my fingers clean, and turn the phone on, sometimes its gone sometimes not.. and 30sec is too much.. my touch lasts for only 3-4 secs... hope we'll get the solution one day.. did you got your phone repaired? I got my touchscreen replaced few months ago but i think this problem was before too

No its an actual feature according to cyanogenmod forums to prevent "phantom input" caused by water on the screen, I dunno whether the digitizer handles this or its a driver, because if its software controlled theoretically it can be disabled

No just a fixed point or small movements, large movements is fine, its not practical to constantly move or let go during some games, and once it goes it doesn't reset instantly it goes crazy for a while, you try and press again and it "flickers" on and off if that makes sense
I've had that issue in 2.2 (Stock), CM7 and now, in CM9, as well...
A friend of mine made me aware of that (I hadn't and probably wouldn't have noticed).
I understand this happens only in Defies (not in Droids), so it shouldn't be impossible to avoid.

Actually some of the Droid series do, if you look on the webpage for jetcar stunts they've even identified it as something they can't fix with advice on how to avoid it, I think it was the Droid x. I'm desperate for a fix, hopefully this is not something in the stock kernal otherwise we need unlocked bootloader :/

hello people, I lve had my nexus 4 for a while now, never experienced any problems with it on 4.3 neither with 4.4.2, just the overheath thing when browsing websites and such, but recently ive been getting this unresponsive touch in the middle that's not letting me send messages or organize the apps on my main page, I'll explain a little below.
When I slide my finger from top to bottom, just in the middle of the screen my touch seem to go slower and then it like makes a jump and won't recognize the touch in one part, that happens all along the middle of the screen is not just a blind spot, when I write a message and try to send it with the keyboard open, it won't let me touch the "send" bottom I have to minimize the keyboard to be able to send it because the bottom is just in the area where my touchscreen is not working correctly.
I downloaded multi touch tester to verify my touches and I found out that if I make a touch in the middle where I have my issue, the multi touch is recognizing 2 touches at the same time, I'll upload the picture to show how is it recognizing my touches in that specific area.
I'm actually using stock nexus 4 with stock KitKat 4.4.2, I haven't root or anything ever, is the first time I have issues with this phone in the touchscreen, I've also been experiencing some touchscreen freeze where I can't touch anything because it won't work and I have to lock screen and unlock it again for it to start working again.
what I have already done?
I have restart my.phone a couple of time and won't work
i have factory reset it and won't work
I have full charge it with USB and laptop and won't work
and that's about it, I'm sure is a software issues because my phone hasn't drop or anything it just started random and sometimes the phone start to work correctly with no issues but most of the time its not working properly and is frustrating.
PD: sorry for my bad English, not native speaker.

I am facing the same problem. You got any fix for this? Please help....
If you've already did a factory reset I doubt it's a software issue. However you can use one of the guides here explaining how to flash a clean stock factory image. This is the last solution that will eliminate any software sided failure.

I am also facing the exact same problem for the past two days, My phone is in perfect condition, not dropped or anything like that.
I think I did some google play updates which where pending for long time.... Do not know what is causing this.
Anyway have started to uninstall the app updates manually, lets see.
A flashing will rule out all software issues. Check whether the touchscreen is working. Enable developer options, then select "Show pointer touches" and the other one just below it (too lazy to check up and tell you what it is; pardon me )
If you're getting normal touch response over the entire screen, then you're facing a software issue. Anything else implies a hardware issue; this may or may not fix itself (somehow; gremlins.)
In either case, let us know what happens. Cheers!

I'm having the exact same issue & tried what you just said. Unfortunately, I'm not getting touch response in one center row of the screen, for that entire row, no resppnse at all.
Is this the problem with touch screen?

Say goodbye to that display. I have to get my display replaced too (clumsy fingers grumblegrumble) and the LG guys say the display unit costs 3750 rupees to replace... Get it done ASAP.

If it is a software issue try re-flashing the stock factory image might as well work

You could flash stock rom with nexus rom toolkit to discard a software problem but if the problem persists, it sounds like a hardware issue and you should think about ordering a replacement if your N4 is still in warranty.

If back to stock fails too, you might try this mod to increase touchscreen sensitivity, but be careful I think only works on 4.2.2

If the issue is the same while at the recovery I am afraid to tell this is most certainly a hardware issue. You can try and install other kernels and mess around with screen sensitivity but I don't think it will help.

ya i am also facing same issue ..i am gong to repair this one from local Service center hoping for good results with less Charges
this is weird, I came here to ask for the same exact problem. I also have a part of the touch screen unresponsive, although at the very bottom (navbar unusable, I'm trying to make do with Pie Controls for now, god bless these guys. Highly recommended). Since the problem persists on recovery I though that alone ruled out a software fault, but it seems I'm not alone. I'm trying to understand, did it happen *just* after you guys upgraded or after a while? I'm on 4.4.4 since it came out and my display started acting weird only a couple days ago.
Also, did you receive any warning / strange behaviour before complete unresponsiveness? My screen seemed to registered "phantom presses" at the bottom margin of the display (in developers options I have activated the "show touches" feature), it seemed like I was on a swiping frenzy through the whole margin.

I noticed looking through google's official help forum that users affected by this generally have also experienced some sort of energy dispersion / bad isolation from whether the battery or the charging port, it's not clear. Namely, it seems that while charging from either a wall plug or a laptop / computer ghost touch phenomena and the like are more likely to happen. I can confirm these issues, although I didn't give them that much thought when they showed up.
(Also, it seems the majority of users have problem at the bottom of the screen / "nav bar").

This happens way too often. The wall charging socket at my workplace makes my phone go nuts whenever I connect it there. Touches are misunderstood (typing for instance is a bloody nightmare. Home button or recents button get "pressed" automatically). I've never seen this problem anywhere else. Looks like I'm not the only one. Hm!

Funnily enough, this phantom touches nonsense sometimes happened even when the phone was in my pocket. It would unlock the screen itself (Hellscore kernel allows swipe2wake, so phone would wake itself up) and start registering touches frenetically. The screen would refuse to acknowledge my touches; I was repeatedly forced to hard reboot the phone. This problem magically fixed itself, and reappeared a fortnight later. It turned out to be a digitizer issue; after getting the display replaced, I have no more issues. All is fine except for the mysterious wall charger touches.
Looks like my N4 loves to be touched. Dirty little boy.

Hello everybody,
I'm Maria, I came here looking for a not too much expensive solution to repair my broken glass and my touchscreen but I foud out I have the same problem ; a band in the middle of the screen is unresponsive. But my problem come out after my poor nexus fell to the ground :crying:
Now I wonder if this is closely linked to the impact with the ground or it could be the same as your problem?
Hi guys!
I had the same issue - navigation bar was untochable in any position (vertical & horizontal). Flashing stock & other alternative ROMs did not solve the problem.
So I returned my N4 to my seller. He accepted the warranty issue and replaced during the reparation:
1. Screen. So I have a brand new screen.
2. Mother board. So I have a new IMEI.
So this isue is rare and has hardware reasons.
My dad has the same issue on his phone, only happened the other day
Happens in TWRP as well
i flashed Philz CWM and the nav keys work there, also in purity if you set the nav bar to 52 (stock is 48 i believe) the nav keys SLIGHTLY work
its weird because the nav keys dont work, yet i can swipe up and get google now?

The swipe up is triggered by a point just above the home button. The bar has no work there.
<Insert witty quote here>
I been getting less and less of this after factory reset. One thing i learn is to keep my phone cool and also taking off the case. I figure that the overheating a tight grip on the phone is causing the phone to have these seizure like symptoms. Anyone know a rom i can flash to converse battery and keep my phone from overheating?
my gf has a s7 edge international that has some weird touch issues as mentioned in the title. i can provide a youtube clip showing the issue but im not allowed to post links yet.
is this a known problem with this specific phone or has anyone been able to fix this?
edit: no screen protector on the phone.
thanks
zeMadCat
Would the phone protector be touching the screen and making the ghost touch?
Do you have enabled the "keep screen turned off" (prevent to touch accidentally while device is in a dark place or pocket or bag? Settings / Display / Keep screen turned off
Previous models had a glove sensitive touch option. With S7 with Nougat is now enabled by default. This means you can close your finger and not touch it but the display would detect your finger and create the action where your finger was pointing into.
I'm not that techy but providing assistance to get to root cause
still running 6.0.1, tried keep screen turned off enabled and disabled and tried w/o case. problems still

Try booting to bootloader and see if the screen is working correctly, try flashing or if not Your screen got damaged by something or due to Falling. If you use a touch and put on screen you can see the display is working but the backlight is not(the light which is project the colours coming from device). You need to replace it.

You need to replace the screen from service centre to work your device again. And if you keep a touch on old screen you see the colours but that are very dim. So you need to replace the screen.
