I think its about the file under system/usr changing the touch sensivity. I have already done it. No luck , still ghost clicks...

Hmmm.. Are you sure there isn't a piece of pasta on your screen? It's a big screen after all
Yes, I'm drawing a blank here Have you tried to flash a different ROM?

I regularly clean my screen but ofcourse in daytime there are times it is dirty
I did not try to flash a different ROM but i am not sure if this is a hardware issue or software..
It seems hopeless because i saw other people experiencing same. Also there was a movie in You tube, a guy put a service report from SONY
saying that telephone is Ok no issue , but he was turning on the phone and as soon as phone booted it started ghost clicks..
Ah sony.. you used to be the symbol of quality for me once..

I had this problem too (like many others) when we were on 532, but it was fixed on 257. You could flash a AOSP ROM and see if it's still the same? If it's not, it's a software issue, and if it's still there, it's probably the hardware. My guess is it's a software issue.
You could try a CM ROM or the GPe. The latter is the most stable one and without bugs.

do you have a screen protector on it? if so take it off and reapply. Possibly something interfering with it.

when you are in the sun, and it reflects off your ultra (turns into a mirror) do you see any discolouration? like some of the screen is dirty?
Not that its dirty, but it could be the coating on the screen thats starting to come off.

... then the options you have are to try different firmware, to see if its software... or take it in to where you bought it as it could be hardware.

Just my 2 cents, if cleaning the screen doesn't work and updating to 290 doesn't, if you have a third party keyboard disable it and return to stock then see if any change.

I had an issue with ghost clicks after enabling Swiftkey tablet legacy after having had a completely click free experience for months before enabling it. As soon as I disabled it it was fine and has been ever since. Weird I know, but maybe worth trying.

hello all again
I think i solved my issue. I found out another topic in another Xperia phone forum. That phone's users problem was undersensitive touch screen , so i did opposite of what they did
I went to /system/usr/idc but not modified the file max something.
I modified clearpad.idc file. The value touch.pressure.scale was 0.0075 something. I changed it to 1
now the touchscreen is less responsive and nearly no ghost clicks anymore.
Hope this helps anybody have this issue.

Red flashing boarder?

Okay so today, for some strange reason my phone has decided to give me a fairly thick, red outline/boarder around my screen every time I touch it. It also flashes up randomly without touching the screen. It's starting to get on my nerves now.
Any ideas on how to fix please?

What rom are you running? Any of the ICS leaks or official samsung roms?
Could be one of the developer options, There was an option I found which flashes the screen and shows touch and screen update data. Check under there. Settings--> developer options.
Other than that it could be a faulty connection to the screen.

What it sounds like it the dev option mentioned in the title got turned on, possibly while you were checking things out. Dont know what it means but I actually turned mine on just to check it. It is definitely in the developer options. Hope this helps

[Q] Dead Active

Hey, everyone.
I'm trying to fix my brother's Active and not having much luck. I've been doing intermediate level android stuff since the HD2, so I'm not quite a rookie at troubleshooting. He said that he was at school, checked his texts, then the screen went out. So, that's where I'm at. I can't even really tell if it's a software error or a hardware error. The phone turns on, vibrates and the LED lights and that's about it.
Thanks for any help
Looks like it's bricked... but I'm not expert enough to say that for sure.

If you had unlocked bootloader: Flashtool
If you had locked bootloader: Update Service and try repairing the firmware.
Both ways, you lose your data.

See my tutorial to root (Check Signature). There in the first step, you will learn how to flash a ROM using flashtool. Choose and firmware of your choice, and taking help of the tutorial flash it using flashtool.

No, thankfully I didn't make THAT mistake, or my previous post probably would have been my last ever. I charged it and, unfortunately, am back to square one. Same as the original problem

The phone does absolutely nothing except vibrate a tiny bit when you turn it on. So the most frustrating part, to me, is I can't really tell if it's a hardware error or software. I'm leaning toward software because even after I let it boot for a long time, I can't get the screen or any of the buttons to cause a vibration. BUT I also don't know if my brother had it set to vibrate on the lock screen like I always do.
From messing around with Flashtool I found out the bootloader is unlocked, but nothing custom has been done to it.

Okay,let says the screen got problem.the screen just have blank display right?
Try to put a sim card that doesn't have security pin when turn on.
After turn on wait for a few minutes and the try to call it.if the phone rings.the display surely defective.

Hmm I think you can open your phone (DON'T DO IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH HARDWARE) and take the LCD screen and take it to nearest service shop to check whether it's working or not...and other possibility that your phone screen cannot be turn on is the screen power might got shot and burnt (like black out in a house,the power supply is shot )

proximity issues

For those with the black screen during calls and can't wake call screen...it's not perfect fix but I figured out that if your screen won't wake after pulling it away from your ear tilt it flat like it was laying on a flat surface...it wakes every time for me

I expect bugs in any ROM, including stock ones. However, I must say, that I was experiencing this issue, and without changing anything software wise, I used compressed air on the earpiece, and it fixed the problem.

I had similar issues on TW. Did a quick Google search and found some stuff about dirty sensor. I too thought it sounded crazy, but gave it a try. When I disassembled my back-plate it was easy to see the black haze on the backside of the glass. A q-tip, alcohol, and all fixed. It worked very reliably (like new) on TW, so I decided to try CM11 again. Sure enough, the sensor worked fine with CM11. I posted over on that thread as many folks had been commenting of this problem and everyone assumed it was something broken in CM11.
Read the next handful of posts in the CM11 thread. At first a few called BS on the post, then several folks started trying it and all commented that it worked.
But again, thanks for the fanboy comment. Very constructive addition to this dialogue.

The point is that if it works on TW without cleaning the sensor but doesn't on CM/AOSP, there's a software issue.
EDIT: not saying that cleaning the sensor wont fix it for the user, but it's like if you plug a hole in your tire.... theres still a hole in your tire.

Not trying to start a fight, and I'm certainly no fanboy, but I have to disagree with that analogy. If it is due to dust, or debris, and you remove it, there is no hole. Anyway, carry on.

I agree with that. I guess what I'm trying to say is, that people might be experiencing it for two different reasons. For some, it may be software related, for others, it may be a physical obstruction. So you can't just discount the air fix.

[Q] Auto-brightness always on!

Hi all
I've just received my S6 edge, realized and read all over the web that Auto-brightness is always on, even if I disable (un-tick) it on the status bar and tried with a torch on the sensor and guess what...it was true It went full bright, as I wish I could adjust it myself whenever I wanted to!!
Is there anyway to really turn off the auto-brightness and adjust the full level of brightness myself??
If anyone doesn't have this problem, please let me know what firmware are you on?? Test is easy
Turn off (untick) auto brightness and put a flashlight over the sensor next to the speaker
Check if display becomes brighter
Thanks
I do not have that problem. I am using a custom ROM, but I never had that problem to begin with so it might be an issue that only applies to certain variants? I know there are tricks with root that can overcome this issue, so if you have not acquired root I recommend you give it a try.

As I ve just received the phone I dob't wa t to trip knox for now and most important part I can't use Smart view with my tv if I go custom recovery or kernel!
So I need a more "stock" solution...anyone with a stock firmware preferably on 5.0.x (so as to easily root) that this bug is not happening??

I am a bit surprised. Letdown.
Since my suggestion wont work for you,
why dont you ask Samsung about the bug?
If no one here has an answer, perhaps they could explain what is going on?
It is my only other suggestion (albeit a quasi-bad one)

The thing is from what I ve read that everyone is facing this issue/function
If you have autobrightness from the slider turned off and hold a torch on the sensor next to the earphone you ll see your screen super-bright, in fact not so quality bright(contrast and sharpness way too high), it is supposed to be like this for direct sunlight so as to be able.to see better.
Final conclusion is that next to my s5, lcd from s6 seems a little dimmer, maybe little more realistic colors but for sure a little dimmer than my s5 for sure.
Do you have an s5?

Because it's not a practical issue? Or even an issue at all?
If I threw my phone off a roof and it shatters, should I complain about that too?

Do you know what practical means? How is this affecting your phone usage in a negative way?
Unless you're telling me, you use your phone in pitch darkness with a flashlight shining on it. Otherwise, nobody cares.

Most possibly you dont understand what I m talking about!
As soon as I get home in the normal lighting conditions screen is dimming itself although auto in the slider is not checked!
Only way to get all brightness back again is to approach the phone close to a light source, either a flashlight or just a simple lamp at home!
There are many google results complaining.about this.issue!
Do you have an edge yourself??
Maybe you can test it and if it s not happening with your phone can you share what firmware are you on?

I have an edge.. That's why I'm on these fourms, and I am aware of the problem you're describing.
Alright, let's do this one question at a time then.
1. Can you still see/read the screen when it dims?
2. Does your eyes hurt from the abrupt dim in the screen?
3. Why does this matter for your daily usage?
4. Why are you complaining about this, when there's better things to complaining about? Like ram management (that actually effects people in daily use).
5. Have I made this clear on why people don't care?
6. Are we good on this topic now?

1. Yes I can but without the perfect brightness/contrast/colours of the beautiful screen.
2. No
3. 3/4 of usage is inside somewhere, why not gain from the full potential of the phone's lcd
4. It's better than the s5 in any way.
5. Answered everything, maybe it just doesn't matter to you, doesnt mean it shouldnt matter to anyone else!
6. Yes we both have our opinions, that why topics and forums exist.

I didn't say threads or topics shouldn't be made, when people have problems.
Question 6 was meant for the topic on "why people don't care" not "why you made this thread."
My screen looks beautiful, I see nothing to complain.

Random reboots

I have question my phone keeps rebooting at random times I can't find the root of the problem. I even refresh my Rom but I don't think it is the Rom. So to start the process what should I look for to find the cause of the problem?

If you are rooted, a log at pull would be a good start so people could help

I couldn't find anything out of the norm... What is your setup? (rom, mods) is there an app you are running when it reboots? Are you using any form of cpu/kernel control? We need more info...
Now with V10 power!
It was nova prime that have me the random reboots on atluis Rom. Otherwise not using any mods

I've had a couple here and there, not sure why, I do know the phone is touchy (kernel settings, mods, tweaks, etc.) i.e. lots of things seem to set it off, wrong v4a, wrong atmos setup, nearly all kernel tweaks. They all have possibilities of causing reboots, my suggestion would be to do a clean install, and slowly add your stuff back. Check it out every few, and if you have a problem, you can narrow it down.
