I was wondering if anyone's screen got hot when playing games on the S5. My old phones, the back of the device would get hot, but never the screen itself. The heat seems to be generated in the middle of the device. Seeing if this was normal after a few minutes of gaming. Thanks!

Am I the only one experiencing an overly sensitive Sense UI? Perhaps I'm missing a setting. I have looked all through /etc and can't find any way to adjust the sensitivity.
Anyone have a solution?
Touchscreen Spaz-out
I will say: occasionally my touch screen will just go bat-**** crazy, registering even the slightest movements as "clicks". The phone is completely unusable; god help you should you be in the lock screen.
Now, after observing this for a couple of days I have a hare-brained theory: it's related to how hot the device is. I've noticed that it happens after extended periods of use, or when it's plugged into the wall charger. Just unplugging it grants a short reprieve, and a refractory "cool down" period generally fixes it. Also it'll work sorta if you press down on the screen like you're trying to kill your phone.
Can anyone else confirm this?
I was getting a lot of the jitteryness and screen lockups before I loaded MR2, everything seems pretty fine now. I had more problems with my wife's myTouch than the eris for once last week.
I do not have any issues like this (I do have all the updates though)

My S2 is in excellent condition, and works perfectly - however...
If it gets cold, just using it in 0-10 Celsius conditions, or not using it, the screen screws up. I get horizontal lines at almost even spaces down the screen, about 1cm apart. If it gets cold for too long, the bottom quarter of the screen freezes, example, the home screen, or whatever is currently displayed stays on the bottom quarter when opening apps, or scrolling etc.
When using the phone at room temperature etc, it is fine
Has anybody else had this problem?
Only had the phone for less than a year, bought off eBay as new, and I have flashed the phone to unbrand it from O2...
So, I suppose I have no warranty now...
I had a job a few years back in the north of Sweden where it was quite often -10 to -25°C. The same thing happend to my old SGSI. There was no permanent damage. Try to keep your phone in an inside pocket close to your body heat.
U're not the only one, I have the same problem and I even went to the service and had it changed but the lines are still there. So I guess it's a fabrication issue.
So I have had my ZU for almost two weeks now and loving it, however something has started to get on my nerves and I'm afraid I have something wrong with my phone. I know I shouldn't get so nitpicky but I spent heaps of my hard earned student cash on this phone and I want it to be running smoothly!
Anyway, from about day three of having my phone I started noticing erratic screen behaviour like phantom screen input - as though when the screen of any regular phone has water droplets on the screen and the screen goes haywire, however in my case the screen is completely dry? It usually goes away after I lock the screen but it gets rather annoying when I am typing a text and then all of a sudden all these random keys and words start being typed (and not by me!), so I would like to know has anyone encountered this problem?
My phone is stock rom and has not been rooted. I don't have a screen protector nor have I used any other styli other than my fingers.
My phone is bone dry and I live in summery Australia so air humidity can't be a factor. And I'm pretty sure there's no ghosts in my house!
On the current build .136
What should I do? Is this a faulty screen? I have checked other topics regarding this and my issue doesn't involve any lag or latency between from my own keystrokes than to those done by screen.

Build 290 and 136 got rid of this problem for most users. Give the screen a good clean
You could also search for a thread by hamdogg (or at least he commented on it) about a edit in the system to lower the touchpanel sensitivity - but will need root.
Hello!
For a while my phone is having some issues. At first my phone was getting really hot after using it for few mins. That would result in awful performance. Now that issue is gone. However, now it is getting much worse. Yestreday turned my phone on and saw something like this https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dCNCNRti1Xs/hqdefault.jpg At first i was thinking my phone lcd has gone bad. But after messing around i got in google play.. And no issues with screen there. So pressed back button..and everything was back. - colorful lines etc. Got into market again. Downloaded lcdtest. Turns out that red, green, blue, white displays just fine. But grey.. is flickering. And if im going from grey to any other color - all the colorful lines appear again, until i switch to any other color. Most apps work fine, unless they have dark grey parts. (When the phone gets hot , it gets colorful lines no-matter what) I even managed to get homescreen usable by using white background.
What might be the reason of this? Is it LCD issue? GPU, or CPU? I downloaded stability test too. What i found interesting is that on the classic test, it works just fine. However, the cpu + gpu test makes phone hot really fast, and half of screen turns into flickering mess. Could it by gpu going bad, or is it lcd?
Im using lg e975, stock.
Thanks!
Hi, If I had to guess I would say it is a LCD issue, it is also completely normal for a device to get hot whilst doing GPU or CPU tests. If you still have a warranty, I would recommend getting it looked at.
So I've had the Snapdragon version for over a year now. There have been a few drops, but I've always used a screen protector and case, so there aren't really any visible damages. Recently though I've noticed some problems. The touch screen is malfunctioning if it gets warm (either in a hot room/outside (as it's summer and pretty hot here)/while charging). After turning on the touch visualizer in the developer settings I could see that it was registering another touch at a random place on a screen. This makes the phone unusable until I reboot it, which solves the problem temporarily. Another rproblem I have, is that sometimes a few black dots appear in the middle of the screen randomly. They just flash up then disappear. It's not a deal breaker, but rather annoying. Can anyone give a diagnosis on these problems, what could I do about it?
