does your touch screen do this ??

Hi guys,
Please download and watch the 2 videos i made and try to reproduce it if you can.
On the keyboard i'm """literally barelly/not touching"""" the screen.
On notes, drawing that slowly i get that. Already tested on another unit and had the same problem...just wanted to see if i'm not alone here..
This is unpleasant... If you already noticed the problem please do coment if you fix it or...
I did calibrate the screen, messed with reg settings but nothing changed.
I'm just trying to see if this is software related or hardware related.
Thank you !!

Very strage...
about the second video, what happens if you move the finger rapidly on the left portion of the screen?... are the results identical to the results of the right portion (as you did in the beginning of this video)?...
if you encountered this with another device, it's probably reparable via software upgrade... I hope...

unfortunatly it does the same thing be it left or right
on both devices.

It's an alignment problem. Try realigning the screen, touching as lightly as possible on the crosses and not moving your finger until the cross moves. No worries. Mine did the same stock and never after I realigned.

Drawing
I was resigned to living without the ability to draw on my HD2 but I just tried drawing in notes and was pleasantly surprised that it works quite well, even with my fat fingers.

solved?
was this solved by the realignment?

no, it helps a bit, but still not 100%. Whatever I do, I can always make the keyboard go crazy. The touchscreen needs a better driver.

[Q] Wandering screen alignment??

Hi all,
My trusty blackstone has begin letting me down and I don't know if flashing a new rom will help, or if it is something physical that is breaking / broken. I'm using the Stonehenge ROM with CHT and everything has been fine for months.
Recently the touch screen allignment just seems to 'wander' sometimes just a little, other times quite a lot (so much that using the fake hardware buttons at the bottom of the phone, brings up the start menu). This means that intermittently I cannot answer calls, and typing a message on the SIP is an absolute nightmare!
The start menu icons do not seem to be as affected as the home screen and CHT, and I can quite easily get to the phone settings and recalibrate the screen - this will help for a short while but the alignment drifts again.
Restarting the phone has a temporary positive effect but it doesn't last.
Anyone else experienced this?

I have exactly the same problem.
Dissembled the whole device, blown some hot air but didn't help. Seems it's a HW fault. But I have a doubt whether the problem is in digitizer or in control board.

It's definitely one of the more frustrating problems that I've ever had with the phone.
I might try flash a new ROM then give up if that doesn't work. At least I won't be tempted to disassemble as it has already been tried, tbh I'd have just tried the tin of compressed air too, I don't trust my soldering skills for tiny electronics.
It is getting progressively worse, the touch area of the screen has slipped so low now that I can't use half the screen.

Have a look on this one, maybe this will help you...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538113

[Q] Mysterious vertical light banding/gradient.

Hey guys. I have this phone for almost a year now. This problem was quite a while back but now.it seems more annoying to me. When on a gray/dark gray background, such as the quick settings toggle on Lollipop. I can see TWO banding or gradients that WHITEN the place where they are. They are arranged like 1 cm from the left and right edges of the screen. I don't know why they are there.
Questions:
1. Is it because of the battery? Like if the battery got swollen, it pushed the panel. BECAUSE THE BATTERY ALIGNS PERFECTLY WITH THE GRADIENTS ARE PRESENT.
2. Is it because of a faulty LCD Panel? Since this phone had no falls whatsoever, im not sure about the LCD being faulty
I think its the battery
WHY BATTERY?
1. Because the battery might push the panel from the back.
2. The phone when i bought it new had a little *creeking* when i pressed from the side of the sim tray and the bottom. But now there aint. Its like its tightely held up. Something a swollen battery might indicate.
3. The battery life had been worse over the time.
4. I use the phone quiet alot when on charge. So.. Yeah
If anyone has more knowledge about the case. Do leave a response. I will be THANKFUL TO YOU. even a little information will be appreciated and will be THUMBS UP accordingly. Thanks!

Bro i got the same problem. The LG G2 my second phone and this line suck monkeyass. Dont take it to the repair or something it gets worser and worser. LG(Netherlands) also confirmed that this is normal and its written in their specification. I told everyone that they have to buy LG phones but now i strictly say dont buy this phone. I know 3 more people with different screen problems on the G2. Sell it! And dont touch any LG phones.

aame
Ive had this problem on three of my g2's. The first wasnt that noticeable, it was on the right wdge of thw screen. i got it replaced due to permanent lines.
The second had the EXACT same problem you describes, but i noticed it right when i got the phone. It looked like something was pressing too hard on the bottom right corner. Got it replaced.
The third one had a similiar problem. But right in the middle of the screen. When i press anywhere on the screen, rippling appears in the middle of the device. Its as if im pressing in the middle of the screen to hard.
Im currently on my seventh g2, all verizon variants. These phones are GREAT phones performance wise, but they are complete sh1t in every other aspect. Ive had every problem you can with these phone. Screen problems, headphone jack problems, speaker problems, mic problems, and camera problems. Im now saving up for a oneplus one device.

Artefacts on the screen

Hello everyone,
Got a problem with my Galaxy note 3 amoled screen. Couple months ago some lines appeared on that, look like artefacts or dead pixels or something, not really sure. Didn't drop/drop in water the device before that. No idea why that happen. But, they don't go.
Tried some dead pixels apps from market with no success.
Due to certain reasons cannot give the device to repair service, so, need to try to fix that by myself.
OS version is 4.3, if that matters.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Will attach the screenshot. The line in the middle. Have few of them already. Background is green, to make it more visible.
Thanks!

Looks more like heat damage to the screen adhesive than a software/electronic defect, to me. I'm just guessing here, but could it have been left in a spot where a beam of focused light could burn the screen? Mine has a few little defects on the screen from where a water bottle on a window ledge focused the sunlight onto a point on the screen.

factory reset.
Flash stock rom and see .

Thanks for replies guys,
One more thing I probably should mention,
The line on the attached pic is maximized, the real lines are quite small, like 3-5mm length. Really small. But anyway visible...
Jaitsu,
Hmm tried to recall but don't think something like that happened. Sometimes I use my phone as GPS when riding bike, means it's outside under the sun (but not a focused light or something), max. 1 hour per time. Could that be reason?
Also, did you find any way to fix that, by yourself?
I read about several ways to fix screen issues, including leaving phone without battery for some time, or even placing it into the freezer. Tried battery method yesterday with no result, but kind of worry about the freezer...

Yes factory reset is a common advice but you really think it might help? Looks like a hardware issue to me. Can a software glitch damage the display? Also, lines are everywhere on the screen, not like one certain place.
Will give it a try if nothing else found, just, sounds uncommon...

Agree probably hardware but a factory reset rules out firmware .
Thats the first step for a service tech sheet .

[HUAWEI P10 LITE] Screen burn, ghost images, but it's temporal

I'm new to this forum, so I posted in general this problem I'm having since I don't know which category fits for this.
I know this forum is for software-related topics, but I've found hardware questions as well, so I guess this should be fine.
Basically, some time ago my phone started having this problem, which I suspect is hardware related, which is what they call screen burn.
Funny thing is, people usually say this problem is permanent, but in my case it's just temporal.
Sometimes my screen is working just fine, and suddenly starts flickering. If I try to switch apps, a "ghost image" of the other app stays there in the background, and until the screen refreshes, it takes time, or maybe I have to switch my screen on-off again, etc.
Another times It turns white, but I still can use my phone properly.
I've identified it's just a screen issue, because as I said, I can actually use my phone fine, but I have this flickers and ghost images. These ghost images are actually the most annoying problem when they happen.
To do some testing, I downloaded a burn-in test app to check every colour, and I've noticed that most colours work fine, but just the white and grey were weird? Like, maybe in the top of the screen the colour wouldn't show, but in the rest of the screen it was working.
Other times, the screen starts to display "colour lines" in front of everything, and after some time they disappear.
Want I want to know is, is this a hardware problem, or software? I guess it's hardware, I'd find it weird to be software.
If so, changing the screen would fix this ghost images and flickers? I haven't tried changing a phone screen before, but I can just buy one and there are videos for my model on how to change the screen so I could do it.
What I want to know is, how to fix this, and If replacing the screen would do. I honestly am against the consumerism trend of throwing away phones, so I at least want to try.
Thanks.

Hi...
so it could be software or hardware based.
first i would make a full backup and then try to completly reset the firmware and check if the issue is done
if not...it could be the screen or the mainboard or the connector to the mainboard.
at first i would try to change the screen to a new one. mostly the screen have problems. if that not work it can be the mainboard...for a buying a mainboard i would look at ebay for a completly damage devices just to remove the mainborad there and to buod in to your Device
hope that helps you

I commented my problem with a friend who studied CS with me, and he told me after seeing the phone that in his opinion it's likely the screen. I think so too.
It's ebay a decent play for buying a screen? Or better aliexpress? I've seen screens for huawei p10 lite in aliexpress

Hi...
Idk if ebay or Alie would be better. I would take a look wich one could send it fastest to me and if it is original Part or from another manufacture.

Hello, I've been experiencing same kind of issues in recent months and I'm interested how the story continued and did fixing the screen was the solution?
Thanks in advance.
