Hi everyone.
Have a question & a problem.
Question : Does anyone know where I can get a Stock U.S. based Rom for my ZU ? Seems all the stock roms are for other country's.
.
.
Problem : Lately, my phone has been doing this weird ghost tapping. when I go into a txt message, it just starts typing all crazy. on the home screen windows pop up & then disappear. All sorts of weird tapping is going on. camera pops up.. & so on. I have no idea whats going on or how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
FlashTool will download stock ROMs and convert them to flashable FTFs for you. From the top of my head, the function is in Tools -> Check for updates. Double-click your selections to see their version, then double-click again to download.
The ghost touch problem has been discussed a lot. Many of us solved it completely by applying a tempered glass screen protector on top of the anti-scratch glass. Some removed the ASF glass first, though that's a "harrowing experience" according to some. See for example this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2916279
Oh man this is gonna suck. I really dont wanna mess with the screen. I foresee bad things
But thank you for the help.
A tempered glass protector is very easy to apply and, if needed, remove, and the extra protection is also great (I've cracked mine ever so slightly at the top after dropping it, so I was glad it was there). I highly recommend you get one!
So cover the screen w/ a screen protector instead of removing the ASF ?
That's right. I had the touch problems with a plastic protector, but none with a glass one (Glass-M). Maybe others have been lucky with plastic, but damn, glass feels so much better, too.

Thank you very much.
So if I remove the screen protector, will It be as prone to finger print smudging like I do now ? It really drives me nuts. It seems to be worse on the ZU then on other phones Ive had.
Ok, so Ive removed the anti-shatter protector. Seems to be fine so far. & wow, 9 hours of work to get it done. Like many, the protector was coming off in little shards.
- Still haven't found a U.S. based stock Rom though.
i used a bodyguardz pure tempered glass on my S6 and it was pretty awesome...
i got the same brand and model for my new S7 and i noticed the very edges of the screen protector dont seal down all the way (probably because slightly more curve on the screen for S7?)
but my biggest issue is it appears to be messing with the touch sensitivity.. i find myself have to touch more than once or press harder to get it to register my finger touch..
anyone else experiencing similar?
Yea I experienced this with xtremeguard's Spartan glass.
Tried a few unbranded protectors and have the same problem.
Apparently the S7 is the first time Samsung made their own touchscreen digitizer, and hopefully this is the last time too.
No screen sentivitity issues here
I have taken a look at this tempered glass screen protector and can personally say that there are no sensitivity issues with it. When using the, Galaxy s7 remained as responsive as ever. It's pretty durable as well which really surprised me. I have tried a few brands for screen protectors to see which I like best and the Coral brand comes in high for me. If your looking for full screen coverage but don't want to impact your phone, then you may want to give it a try. You can checkout their website. Coralguard.
I've read that many people are having issues with the Samsung panel and hoping that it's not hardware related and can be fixed with some sort of software update. The only problem there is that carriers take so long to distribute.
Good luck.

Dude i really hope this isn't an actual thing, please call samsung and see if they can do anything about it.
Cuz we got a few devices as a family and my sister was complaining about her screen as well. She said its better now though and she's coming from APPLE so i thought it was just that apple to samsung touch response difference which made her thing it was not working properly.
I've had a number of smartphones and tablets over the years (and working in IT, I've used a hundred times more). On every gadget I've used, the touchscreen/digitiser has always been 'perfectly' sensitive, i.e. I've never been able to touch the screen without it registering a touch.
With my P9000, if I'm very gentle, I can touch the screen and it doesn't register as a "touch". This isn't really a problem, until it comes to using the keyboard. The bottom (half?) of the screen is a little bit less sensitive than the top, and this is a really annoying when I'm swyping. Sometimes the finger loses just enough contact, and the phone thinks I've swyped two small words in, rather than one big word.
Anyway, the reason I'm writing all this is to ask via the medium of a poll... Has anyone else had this? Is this common with the Elephone P9000?
I dont have this issue. But I read some (not all) screen protectors can cause the screen to stop functioning as expected

I used a tempered glass screen protector and then the screen almost didn't work. When removed the screen worked perfectly.

Did you use the official one? Been told that one causes serious issues. I have one from a company called brotech but I've yet to use it
I found that one of those plastic flexible screen protectors made the sensitivity issues a bit worse, and the tempered glass screen protector made it worse again.
(Again, I could get easily get it to respond, but I would make mistakes when I was swyping at speed!)

Yes, this was the official one.
I'll be putting my Brotech screen on later today. I'll let you'll know how it is
I noticed that the screen is very unresponsive (especially bottom part) when the phone is laid flat on a horizontal surface. When I take it into the hands it works quite normal.
I have the same problem. With tempered glass it is unusable. Even with out it, it very often does not register touches, especially on the sides
I'm using the elephone supplied tempered screen protector and my touchscreen sensitivity is awful...to the point where I want to smash the thing into tiny pieces. I've never had this problem with any other devices I've had. Can anyone tell me if the touchscreen experience is better if the software is flashed...to use Cyanogenmod for example...?
Hi
I got the V30 almost 2 weeks ago and the sensitivity is horrible, i have to press most apps or buttons 3 to 4 times before it responds. I thought it might have been my glass screen protector so i removed this and its still the same. Anyone else had this or heard of this?
Nope. Pretty responsive. Think most reviews say the same.
Mine is fine. My V30 and now V30+ seem to work fine.
Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk Pro.
Yes mine is doing it with small items online with websites and in most apps k use even with Gboard sometimes
There was sensitivity issue in past LG phones too. I hope that doesn't make an appearance here.
I returned mine today, got a replacement , So far so good on the new one, Mine would do it on large parts of the screen, I ran an app showing screen touches and on some parts of the screen i had to tap it hard for it to register which isnt right!
Glad it was resolved thru exchange.
I've only experienced a few instances of my V30 not registering my finger press, when tapping an "accept" button or some similar circumstance, maybe just 3 or 4 times. Could have been a browser / app issue -- the issue doesn't repeat, and the norm is the lightest brush of my finger against the screen is all it takes.

Yes , no questions asked , they just swapped it outright. The sales guy did take it off me and try , I watched him try and press the home button about 5 times without success lol. Hopefully just a bad handset and nobody else gets this.
Mine worked great until I put a glass screen protector on it. Now I am having the issues you mentioned. Isn't there a way to recalibrate the touch screen sensitivity?
The occurrence with screen protectors, specially tempered glass protectors, is pretty common with these new curved phone screens because the glass has adhesive on the edges only, and the screen protector does not transmit positive contact to the phone screen on a consistent basis. The solution seems to be to use a protector with full screen adhesive, (LOCA), but it does need to be cured. Additionally, this method prevents another nuisance... the constant intrusion of dust and lint between the phone screen and the screen protector.

Very common with the glass screen protectors. Lots of information in the accessories forum.
Seems to be a quality control issue with lg. When i first bought my phone from a Sprint store, I noticed the same issues you mentioned. Had a spot on the screen that would only respond to short touches. If you moved an app to a certain spot on the home screen you couldn't move it, only open it. Exchanged it the next day in store. The replacement device works great with no issues but upon opening the box i noticed black plastic shavings underneath the plastic screen protector that wraps around the phone.
Hello guys , this is very annoying this creepy fingerprint on the pixel 6 wont work after applying a tempered glass screen protector , i di the registration after applying it register very well but wont unlock i regustred 5 fingers but it wont work , i have in the past devices with in display fingerprint but never faced this issue with any glass , this device sucks

Did you turn on increased touch sensitivity in display settings as well? Heard that can help. Seems there are also some glass protectors that don't work as well as others too.

I use supershieldz works just fine
might be a silly question, but did you register your prints before applying the SP?
That is what I did and the cheapo Glass SP I applied afterwards is working fine. I even tried laying a second SP on top - just to check and it still works - but only 50% of the time (in the brief testing I did).
I have not upped the sensitivity option mentioned above.

It was 'Pkila Compatible with Oneplus Nord Tempered Glass Screen Protector' - purchased August last year - cant find it for sale anywhere in the UK at this point.
Tempered glass didn't work for me but it came with a protector for the camera so not a total loss. This film protector is working great, I can confirm the fps works 90 to 95% of the time and 2nd time is always a charm

Yeah, I used this and it works well. See my post w/picture in the other FP thread "Hey Google, Fix the Fingerprint..."
And maybe the mods can combine the finger print threads
weird I just installed it and it's about as good as the s20, it's like 8/10 for me.
Just to update that I got my WFTE Screen protectors earlier today.
Seems to be working fine, I replaced the AmFilm one with the WFTE and the FP now worked 18 out of the 20 attempts I tried so far - even if position the thumb in different ways e.g. lower part / upper part - this is probably as good as the 'Pkila Compatible with Oneplus Nord Tempered Glass Screen Protector' that I was originally using as a temporary measure.
One thing though - I think the WFTE is a bit on the thinner side? I say this because the 1st WFTE I tried developed a small crack along the edge when I was smoothing out the bubbles. I have been using SPs for years now and this has never happened to me before??
The 2nd one went on fine.
After the WFTE one cracked during install and the poor customer service response from WFTE, I wanted to try and find a different brand and there were some positive reviews for the AOKUMA one Amazon UK.
I replaced the WFTE with the AOKUMA yesterday afternoon and it is working fine for me - as good as the WFTE in terms of the fingerprint being accepted.
