I wonder if anyone can help
My touch screen has gone very crazy recently, for example if I select a app a different app opens, or if I try to type a lot of random letters appears.
Also the phone screen moves by itself.
Basically the phone touch screen is unusable, has anyone else had this problem? is the only way to fix it, is to send it to warranty repair.
Please help
P.S. Tried different roms same problem, if I put the phone to sleep and wake it up it works normal for a minute or less.
I think sending it in is the best solution. The touch screen isn't the the best quality on the Hero. It doesn't last two year's use anyway.

I TRIED GOOGLING AND SEARCHING FOR THE ANSWER
For some reason when im using the phone it seems to randomly acting like its being touch. The has never been broken, has a hard case. Im not sure what could be causing this. It doesnt happen on stock rom wasnt sure if it could be caused by the rom or kernel? Thank you for the help.
I have/had the same problem. It only happened when the screen got a bit of moisture on the screen then that certain part of the screen would go crazy with keyboard taps etc. I think it's your screen, as mine only started happening after I got a new screen, which I then had to get replaced, again.
Mine has done that. It would randomly spell words or poem apps like the screen was being touched. My screen was dry and clean. I just did a factory reset.
Well a clean install of Tom and it went away

Hi, so I recently broke the screen on my g2 and as you all know this has pretty much caused the touch screen to go non-functional. I was wondering if there was a way for me to format it via a computer of some sorts? If I could at least get access pass the passcode screen I could maybe connect a Bluetooth keyboard and navigate it to an extent but the screen won't let me put my password in. Any info would be helpful, thanks!
If you enabled USB debugging before the touch stopped working, you can use "adb tap x y" commands to get around and wipe it. I'm not sure how flashing recoveries works on this phone yet, but if it doesn't require you to use the screen, you can do that and wipe from there.
If you have a swipe lock screen enabled, you can use "adb swipe x1 y1 x2 y2".

Hi guys
I have moved from iPhone to a note 4 and loving it!
I was just wondering if anyone has found the touch screen occasionally doesn't respond to their touch and you have to touch it again. On the iPhone it only ever missed a touch if my finger was in the wrong place, but it never happened on the keyboard. Every so often maybe 5/6 times a day I touch a key on the keyboard and nothing happens, when I try again it's fine. I can't reproduce it, because when I tap anywhere on the keyboard something gets pressed. I was just wondering if this was normal?
Hope you are enjoying your phones!!
Anyone?
It's most likely cause your palm is on the phone. One of the downsides of a slim bezel on a big phone. Also keep in mind if your spen is on the screen, your fingers won't work. A case might help.
I thought about another part of my hand touching the screen, however with half my hand layed across my keyboard I can still type with the other hand. Thanks for the response
I Pele tried factory resetting today and not installed any apps, but it is still happening
I rang Samsung this morning and they advised I return I to the store and get an exchange. Luckily my local store got its first batch of note 4s in this morning and they swapped it out. I restored it all firmware updates put on it and now works fine! The only thing I haven't installed is a Google play system update thing. I was wondering if that was the cause x
Similar issues
I've had similar issues (in fact, that's what brought me here in the first place). Initially, I was able to tap on the screen in the text box and then continue typing (I use Swype). However, now my messaging app (default Messages) just freezes up, forcing me to close the app, clear the memory, and relaunch the app before continuing.
Were you using the default app and/or Swype when you had issues? I'm going to try to factory reset my phone to see if it helps.
It's taken a couple of weeks for this problem to develop, so please keep us posted if this problem arises again on your new phone!
Edit: Also want to point out that when I text, I use one hand to hold the phone and only a finger to swipe my text. As such, only the one finger touches the screen.
unable to use touch screen. only hard key were working >>Note4

Same thing happened to me last night. The touchscreen became unresponsive while using chrome. The phone was a little warm but not bad. I didn't try the pen, sounds like a good idea. I am not certain it was a touch screen issue with mine. Almost more of a processor issue. I got the phone to lock. After pressing the menu or lock button to wake the screen it would take 5-10 seconds to wake. Then I could swipe my unlock pattern. It would not show any lines. I would wait, the screen would turn black after timing out in about 5s. The about 5s after I could hear the speaker make the unlock sound. I ended up doing a battery pull and that fixed the issue. Anyone else have something similar?
Should I try and replace it?

Observe to see if it happens when you're using other apps too. Chrome has been notorious for causing all sorts of problems, like reboots, freezes, etc on some devices.
Also it may be worth installing Chrome Samsung Support Library.

Got the same problem after 2 months of normal usage... I initially though I had installed a third party application which was causing the system freeze but this was not the problem.
- tried factory resetting and not installed any apps, but it is still happening
- When this happens if I take out the spen .... surprise it work. The pen allows me to do anything... But the touch screen does not work with fingers...
- I used the pen to reboot the note4... Still the same problem after reboot... I ended up doing a battery pull and that fixed the issue for.... a couple of minutes... Then the problem came back....
The only solution remaining was to return the phone.... They gave me a Note3 while my Note4 is being repaired...
That's a shame for a product of that price!
:crying:
Same thing is happening with my 2 months old note4 since two weeks ago. An horizontal line 1.5cm in width about 1/3 from the bottom of the screen, became unresponsive. At reboot it works sometimes then it becomes unresponsive again. It looks like in the image I attached, the difference is that the area is horizontal, not vertical. I'm taking my note4 to the store today for warranty, hopefully they will replace it. I haven't abused the device in any way, I have a screen protector since its first day.. I really hope this isn't a serious problem that affects many users.
Just like some of you mentioned above, the pen has no issues on any area of the screen.
Cheers!

same thing happen to my note4 today. the only difference is that yours was fixed for a couple of minutes after removing the battery. my note4 wasn't fixed after that. Only S-pen works, touch screen with fingers wont work. you mentioned you're note4 is getting repaired, did they tell you what may have happened to it so that i'll get an idea of the cause..
You found the appropriate thread, I was just now going to share the link to this thread with you as well as quoting what others experienced,

Never purchase a device without a return / DOA policy. Not worth the hassle. If it hasn't been 30 days, you should call your credit card company or Paypal and place the amount on dispute, wait, you purchased from another market, please tell you didn't pay by cash.

I have this problem after I flash CWM recovery, before this was flashed with twrp recovery, I reflash stock rom with odin, I flash many times CWM and TWRP and I still have the problem, my warranty it's void now but I think to go at Samsung store to see if they solve my problem. This problem look like a driver for touch corrupted, if somebody find it out how to fix or have any ideea please weritte here, thanks you
I've started to have this problem as well, lower part of the left side of the screen sometimes registers touch instead of scrolling! Very annoying, tried to update recovery, tried tapping screen, doesn't help. The worst thing is I cannot reproduce the issue at will... It seems pretty random.

Unfortunately, if the phone is on Verizon, the dialing codes will be disabled.
Potential fix.
Please excuse the necropost But I came here looking for a solution from google and others may too. I found a way to solve this issue/s.
There appear to be two issues affecting this.
1. Overloading the processor.
2. Static.
If your touch input is lagging or doesn't register at all but then suddenly does a few moments later, its likely a type 1. problem. I fixed this by disabling resource intensive features such as s voice. This also improved battery life and overall performance considerably.
If touch simply doesn't work at all, but s pen works fine then the problem is more likely type 2. That being static buildup in your person. Simply touch something that can ground you and it should fix the issue. A metal tap should work. Be wary, you might even get a little zap as you discharge
Hey all. My G2 was hard bricked to a point where it didn't even turn on, but with aftabalam8c2's help I could get it to a state where I could flash the phone. I flashed it with a 10b tot image, but after flashing I instantly noticed that the screen has many problems: sometimes it doesn't respond and there are random ghost touches all the time, even when I don't touch the screen. I double checked all connections, made a factory reset, flashed a 20h kdz image and updated touch screen software, but nothing helped.
A week before the brick, I had changed the screen, but everything was working perfectly until the bricking.
I am quite desperate, because the phone is completely unusable right now and I don't know what else to do.
You can see a video of the screen problems here.
Update: I noticed that when I put pressure on a specific point on the left bottom corner of the screen, the screen works normally. Might this hint that the screen is faulty?
Bump. Any help or tips are welcome.
I had ghost touches right after I bought my G2. I tried everything, change rom, kernel, firmware, flash via kdz, everything. I bricked my phone trying to fix my problem and I send it to LG (warranty) . They replace my motherboard and send phone to me. After I turn on g2 problem was back after 20 mins, so I send it again and then they replace my all screen too.
Since then (3 months ago) everything is perfect so I guess you should fix your screen/digitizer.
Thank you for the tip. I was already thinking it might be the screen, although it worked perfectly before I bricked the phone. Sadly I don't have a replacement screen at hand, but I sent a message to the screen seller, asking for a replacement. Now I just have to wait and see.
Interesting is that my phone was off for a few days and now, after turning it back on, the ghosting is almost gone, but some spots on the screen are unresponsive or oversensitive.
Edit: I made a touch test and found out that there are two large dead zones on the screen. I guess the problem really is in the screen then.
Funny thing is this that I haven't had any dead zone just ghost touches
