It seems the 920 has a fault that allows dust to get under the screen and across the proximity sensor. The sensor is very sensitive and the dust particles seem to interfere with the light.
this results in the screen turning off when making/receving a phonecall which means you can't interact (including ending) during calls.
Is anyone else seeing this issue?

If it helps, I blew with as much force as I had directly down the edge of the screen above the proximity sensor (next to the nokia logo).
This seems to have fixed it for now, but I doubt it's a permanent fix.
Hopefully Nokia will issue a firmware update to fix it.
For reference, here's the nokia support thread

Removed the screen protector and it worked.
Think Lumia does not support a cheap screen protector.
Let me know if it works:good:

Yes, I have the same issue. By removing the screen protector, the problem solved.
Me and a friend of mine had exactly the same problems, we both never had a screenprotector and it happened anyway!
We both sent our phones back to nokia for repair. I will receive mine back tomorrow. My buddy got his complete display replaced, wonder what they did with my phone to fix it.

My new Xperia Z2 touch screen sensitivity seems to be too sensitive. I applied Sony Xperia Z2 Screen Protector GLAS.tR NANO SLIM and it is very good one. The problem is the screen registered finger hovering as a touch!! I don't even touch the screen, just hovering it, it seems to press by itself. By using Style Cover Stand SCR10 - Sony for Z2, it get even worse. The screen touches the cover while I am walking, sometimes it changes music and calls someone too. This is very hard to use. While I talk on the phone, the cover touches the number and sometime touches at End Call. I have checked the Glove mode, and it is always Turned off. I asked Xperia Care, they suggested that, I need to turn off the Glove Mode, and turn off, Double Tab to wake. I did them, but the issue is still occurred. I have updated firmware to the newest one, the problem is still occurred. Has anyone encounter the same issue as I have? If you have, can you solve it? if so how to do so?
Please help me.
Thank you very much
You could try going to settings > accessibility and then at the bottom change touch and hold delay to medium or long. Might make a difference.
Thank you very much for your suggestion. i will try it =]
Do you have ever have this issue before? i just wonder that, this over sensitive is due to the screen itself, or the glass protector

I've had it were I've accidentally exited apps or tapped on something by mistake as the screen was too sensitive. That setting seems to have made a difference though...unless I'm just more aware of the problem so make a conscious effort not to leave my fingers hovering over the screen. I've not tried the phone without a screen protector so can't say if this has made any difference or not.
Thank you very much =]
Well I've not notice an improvement with different screen protectors. Started with a Spigen antiglare one and have a Roxfit antifingerprint one on now. Same sensitivity.

Does it registers as a touch when you hovering your finger above home button / apps?
in my case, just hovering it, it registered as a touch =[

Hello, remove any laucher you have till new update of the firmware it will definitely bug your phone :/
I'm using stock launcher. Yeah I hope Sony fixes this with their next update - and hopefully they are aware of it.
Check you don't have "gloves mode" switched on. I had that on and I think it increases sensitivity so when hovering it registers. I've since turned it off and seems to work fine. Settings, display, glove mode.
Hope it helps

Hi, Have you tried with screen protector yet? do you have screen sensitivity issue like mine?
Thank you very much
Hey mate sorry I forgot to get back to you.
Yes I'm using the protector ans no, no issues at all. Everything's fine.
Hi - If I touch the screen *very* gently, it doesn't register as a touch.
Does anyone else have this? If your P9000 is OK, please let me know.
Most of the time it's OK, but it's extra annoying when I'm swiping a long word which gets split into two smaller words. I do have the screen protector on - Obviously I don't want to remove it just for testing, but I realise it might be affecting sensitivity.
Over the years I've had ~5 phones with capacitive touchscreens. This is the first I can touch without it the phone 'realising'.
Thanks, Richard
PS - I've enabled the 'Show touches' in Developer options. The accuracy is fine, it's just it's not quite sensitive enough.

i have similar problem because the glass folie is on the phone. Im sure because i used without too... but I rather use like this..
So the screen protector made your screen less sensitive?
What phone do you have? The Elephone P9000?

yes, i have glass screen protector on my p9000 and it makes the digitizer less sensitive..
Thanks NX82. That's good news and bad news !
I want to have a screen protector, but sometimes the phone doesn't recognise/acknowledge gentle taps on the screen.
I'll try one other screen protector, if that doesn't work, I'll ask Amazon to replace it.

Yes. my screen also less sensitive with the screen protector, but i dont want to scratch the phone, so i rather use with the screen protector.. for me the less sensitive areas are around the edges of the protector.. but i can live with this problem. I know if i remove it gonna be okay again.. maybe possible to put a thinner folie on the screen and thats gonna be better. the protector glass is a little bit thick. probably this is the problem.
I also experienced a reduction in sensitivity after applying a glass screen protector. Without it phone always reacted okay, but with my protector the first miliseconds of my touch aren't registered it seems. I have more trouble typing and sometimes swiping lags. I have adjusted my usage and can live with it now though.
Yes a screen protector can make it less sensitive. But all I did was download this : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.shop4apps.touchscreenbooster.com
And then set it to super optimised and make sure it runs at boot and problem solved.

Hi. Yes I'm using it on my elephone p9000 right now. I didn't need a reboot tbh. So not sure. Could be a fiffy touchscreen you have in yours?
i installed this app too. i did not resatart the phone. maybe i feel a little difference, but hard to tell if it really helps or not. i have to use few days to tell its placebo or not
Sent from my P9000 using XDA Free mobile app
Well see how it goes and hopefully it does the trick. The p9000 glass isn't anything special. Don't want it to crack or scratch so we need something to protect it.
I have tried several touch calibrarion apps.
It seems like the restart is necessary to apply the new settings.
for me this application gave the best result:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=redpi.apps.touchscreencalibration
...and i still hoping its not just a placebo effect

same here : no effect
I have the same problem but all the above apps don't work for me. I will try to swap my screenprotector for another one tommorow. Hopefully this works.
I've found out/realised that the bottom of the phone is less sensitive than the top, so compare the top and bottom half of the screen.
The top of the screen is *almost* as sensitive as every previous smartphone I've owned or used (mainly Samsungs, HTCs and various iPhones). I can just touch the screen without it registering, but only just.
The bottom of the screen is a lot less sensitive. When selecting (tapping) things, it prob wouldn't be much of an issue, but when I Swype using the 'keyboard', I get dropped letters.
A screen protector reduces sensitivity further (a glass one more than a flexible plastic one, from my experience)

Hey guys,
I just received my new Samsung Galaxy s9 Plus and I have realised that my device is faulty. But I really don’t know if I should just let it be, or ask for my device to be exchanged.
So basically on the screen there is two lines which are visible only when the device is turned fully off or when always on display is showing on the phone.
Do you think I’m being to picky?
Do you think the issue wold get worse over time?
Has anyone else had this issue before on the s9 Plus?
Do you think it’s the coating on the phone that is the issue?
Ps the screen is not cracked, does not have any dead pixels etc.
it would be helpful if you could post a couple of photos of the screen so that we can see if there's really an issue or not.
but if it really is a issue, i would bring it back immediately for a exchange especially given how much the phone cost

I have the same lines. It's at the very edge of both sides of the screen. It's almost as if you can see the touch layer.
Just a quick update, I spoke to Samsung and they said it’s the first they heard of the problem, currently it’s been escalated to a higher department, I’m going to receive a call back today, I’ll update you with anymore info,
Ps can everyone contact them who are also Having this issue as it will only help with making the case stronger as a whole.

After more research and a closer inspection I do believe it is the adhesive at the edge of my screen. I also found pics of other people discussing this issue with zagg cases. This is my first curved screen so I was unaware of how they curved tgsp worked.
