[Q] how do I disable touchscreen? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The digitizer is cracked and phone is acting weird and I want to use OTG mouse.

That's a good question, because my phone screen looks perfect but suddenly started with 'ghost' touches and has become unusable.
If I could disable the screen all together then I'd be able to at least use it as a Kodi/Emulation box under the tv.

[Q] I9100 Weird Screen issues that make it impossible to use.

Hi everyone. After changing the usb pin of my phone, the touch screen started doing some weirds things. Sliding among desktops is rather laggy. Pressing an icon is not enough to get the app (or whatever) to work, a second attemp is neccesary in any other part of the screen in order to make it happen. The physical buttons seems to be working fine so far.
In further investigations it seems like pressing on the screen is well detected, since i can press an icon and move it around a desktop. But unpressing anything goes undetected.
I see no physical damage on the screen or the flex that connects it to the motherboard. This is not an issue related to any especific rom or kernel since i tried with a couple of them before getting to this point. Is there any app that allows me to monitor what part of the screen is being touch?
Can this be resolved by a firmware update of any kind of just a hardware replacement?
Cheers

HELP! New Touchscreen does what it wants!

I recently dropped my Xperia Z2, the LCD and the Touchscreen both were dead. Therefor I bought a original LCD+Touch Replacement which was shipped to me a few days ago from the UK. I installed the new part, the lcd seems to work but my the touchscreen module doesn`t work proberly. It doesn`t recognise my fingers on the right spots, often doesn`t recognise any touches! then I have to reboot or turn of the display and then turn it on again. writing nearly is impossible, sometimes I have to press very very hard on the screen, sometimes my phone types things like "ladgnlaerhjnjhgdihhdgzghgzgzgzzgzgzgzgzgzgub" without me touching the screen. it also manages to unlock itself with when I use the swipe gesture for the lockscreen. is the touchscreen broken or is it the my rooted android 6.0.1 with xposed + twrp recovery?

Disable touch input through USB-debugging (or other workaround)? [Honor 7]

I recently managed to break the screen on my Honor 7 so that it affects the touch functionality, and i am now left with some ghosting on the bottom part of the screen.
Was wondering if there was a way to disable the touch screen on my phone, but still be able to send touch commands through USB, hopefully without removing the screen.
(The ghosting is bad, but i can still pick up calls, which is why i do not want to remove the screen)
Thanks
its really tough,, what you are asking.. you can still connect a mouse, but touch is the formfactor of any android phone, if you want , you can connect a mouse via otg ,
but i highly suggest you to change your touch panel or display...
Same problem ..Tip!
I have the same ghostly problem..and I want to disable the touch input without disabling the external keyboard or mouse control. ...I tried touch lock app..but it also disables the external mouse control. .May be if the Touch Lock app modding will be a great solution for both of us

Cover mode activate itself

Hi everyone !
I face a strange problem,
Last day, my nose started bleeding and a drop of blood has fallen on the lowest speaker. I washed it under clear water to get it off. (Since it's waterproof it shall not create any problems...)
Since this event, the sony style cover mode keep thinking that i'm opening and closing the smart cover.
Firstly, the screen was going on and off by itself, I wans't understanding what's happening since in recovery mode all is working fine.
Later, a pop up showed on my screen asking me to give permissions to smart cover app. I denied since I don't use it.
Luckily I have a smart cover that I don't use (it's not handy when fully opened so I stopped using it, it cannot be because of this since I flashed a lot of differents firmware since this day)
I paired the cover with the phone when the screen was on for enough time. It does had worked and instead of shutting down the screen, displayed the smart cover screen lock (A small square in the center of the screen, fitting with the window)
To avoid this, I deleted the smart cover app folder and datas using recovery, rebooted, miracle ! No more little square screen !
But... Even if the screen is as it should be, touchsceen is not working on the non window areas (it does work only in the square of the window. So I can't use touchscreen outside of this area.
I tried to delete all things I found related to "touchblock" in system and data but it does not worked...
I can do every actions on my phone using Adb with wifi or not, control on the screen using a mouse with otg or using wifi with teamviewer, or using recovery to do everything system side !
If someone is able to help me finding a solution let me know i'll be very grateful !
Thanks for reading (And sorry if i made mistakes in my explainations, English is not my first language )

Broken screen and displaying anything.

Hi, i wanna ask a few questions about my old phone. It was working and i had dropped it. in that minute a car just went over it. It was touchable but display is very messed. I had saw the main screen and i could touch it. After that i just removed my sim and tried to restart phone but it never did restart. i could enter the twrp and take all my files to pc. after some time it's screen went black. Now i can enter to download mode, i can confirm that but nothing more because of black screen.
And my question;
1. How can i be sure if i change the screen it will work again?
2. I don't want to buy a screen, is there way to use it without a screen? ( with a monitor, tv etc.). i can use a mouse and keyboard with otg but how to transfer display to another device? ( new screen costs too much ) ( i know mhl not supported)
3. is there another phone which is cheaper and screen fits to s6 edge connector?
4. Any other ideas?
