I have had touchscreen problems with my Honor 5X for the past two or three months.
When I am charging, random inputs will register all over the screen if I try to touch something on the screen. For example, if I were to swipe down from the top of the screen to open the notifications or change some settings, part of that swipe might register, but other random touches will register all over the screen, pressing the back button, home button, or anything else in the process. Swipe gestures are basically unusable most of the time while charging, and single, point touches work half the time.
However, this issue only occurs if I let it charge for a while with the screen off before unlocking the phone and doing whatever I need to do. This issue has occurred on multiple charging currents, from the 0.5 A provided by computers to 1.5 A from wall chargers. It also happens across multiple ROMs and clean reflashes -- on the stock latest EMUI Marshmallow ROM to all the builds of CM13 so far.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you solve it? I've had the phone for four or five months already, so I'm not sure if returning it is an option.

This sometimes occur when the cable you use is in a bad condition or when use your phone in a position that would bend the cable's connecter, have you tried changing the cable or the whole charger, try not to Bend the cable too, that's what's coming up to my mind as a first possibility.

Thanks for the replies. I have tried several different chargers including the OEM charger. This issue seems to happen at least half the time I charge the phone, which is disappointing as my Galaxy S4 never had such problems across all chargers that I have used.
Maybe I'll hold on to the phone for a while longer and see if the issue goes away. I haven't noticed it in the past day.

The only thing left to think about is the hardware, maybe you accidentally exposed the USB port to water or something, as the time passes moist begins forming, which damages the port, it could be due to water or high humidity, I'm afraid you'll have to change the port, but do check all the other possibilities before opting for this one, good luck.
try cleaning the port on the phone?
ur phone screen is original ? OEM Charger Never did this unless u have bad USB Cable or bad Elect. Source ! .
Have this too sometimes. Experienced it also before in my old phone while charging in USB. I think it has something to do with the electric current.

Hi guys,
I bought a second hand mini pro, and flashed (rooted, unlocked bootloader)it with the help of one of the several guides. with Simplexity and MiniCM7
It seemed to work fine at first, but now something odd happens.
I can only turn the device on (working) when I keep the keyboard slided out. When I start up with it slided in, The screen is turned on but no image appears: It stays black.
When it is turned on (slided out) I can use the phone normally. But when I slide it back in, the screen is frozen and won't react to touches.
Putting the phone in and out of standby (slided out) will have two possible outcomes: Either its usable as normal. Or it simply won't come out of standby at all. The phone seems to react (sounds) to pressing the buttons on the keyboard though.
I used Seus and manual methods to reflash to stock, try other kernels, but the problems remain.
I think it's the hardware that's failing but maybe this can be caused by the flashing as well?
Are there any methods to rule out one or the other?

I'm responding to the thread's title : It's a hardware failure.Brick means you can't even power it on/flash mode.If I helped click the "Thanks" button.Also,try using nAa-11 my and x10man's ROM called XMP Rom and tell us if you still have this problem.I understand that you posted this here (If you post it in questions section almost no one will respond )so I won't tell about that.
(Oh, my bad. Mods feel free to move my thread)
I was afraid of that. I'll try your ROM as well, but I'm afraid its the hardware too.
Thankfully I only paid 30 euros for it
I think the flex cable is gone bad, i have the same problem here. My mobile doesnt respond to any touches. First it happened only when i would slide the keyboard. But now its dead as a whole

The XMP rom didn't fix it, so I guess you're right. Would a flex cable (those are the flat orange ones right?) be expensive?

This is the cable we are having a problem with, i have given my mobile for replacing this stuff as i couldnt get this locally. This board houses the LCD and the digitizer and the buttons connect to this. The black cable goes to the motherboard. Its pretty simple to take apart the phone, but take care while doing so. Another thing its that, when you are opening the display panel, its better to use a guitar pick instead of a screwdriver and open it at the latches, that would avoid damage to the outer plastics.

This has been happening more often the past week or so.
I'm running the late-December-2012 "Energy ROM" release, and from time to time the touchscreen goes all wonky on me. It seems random but is happening more often as time goes on.
I can, for example, tap to open my Gmail account, but then holding my finger down in one spot in the message list will cause it to scroll down, scroll up, select and deselect different messages - sometimes when I tap on a message it registers somewhere else altogether.
I did apply a Skinomi skin not too long ago, so I'm wondering also if it's interfering somehow. I thought it was lotion having come off my hand once, mimicking another finger, but now it happens even when totally dry.
Anyone else find this one?
Thanks,
R
Is it plugged in or laying on a wire that is plugged in?

It is plugged in when it happens - I generally leave it plugged in at home - but not always.
Unless you count 'plugged in' as in, attached to the dock.
I pulled off and replaced the skin yesterday, I think I did a better job on the 2nd time through.

sometimes being plugged in to power source from wall or laying on a wire that has power to it will cause touchscreen to be erratic. get it away from power it will be fine.

This has started happening for me aswell at random. I don't have any skin on it or plugged in. Do you know if I can send it to ASUS to see about repairing it even though I have unlocked the bootloader?

Well - with a sample size of one, this seems to work.
I was having trouble scrolling through a large list of items, it was jumping all over - I unplugged the dock from the wall charger, and it smoothed right out.

Hi,
As mentioned above, there is a problem with my A5. When my tempered glass screen protector is fixed and when my phone is charging, my touch screen seemed to go haywire. I am holding my finger in one place but the phone detected that my finger is shaking, wildly. Besides shaking, my phone will stop sensing my finger even though it is held there.
I doubt it is the problem with my hardware because I have already changed the touch screen, charging port and the motherboard by sending it to the Samsung Service Centre. I believe the problem is due to the tempered glass (my previous tempered glass) because it was put onto another A5 and the same problem occured. Now, I have purchased another tempered glass from REMAX (picture below), and it seemed to cause the same problem again.
So now my questions are
1. Can I seek for another alternative such as Spigen's tempered glass screen protector or should I just use the normal screen protector?
2. Am I the only one facing this problem?
3. Is the problem really due to the tempered glass?
Oh by the way, my phone is running on official rom version 4.4.4.

Without getting into too much tech details i have a list of possible cause's
1. with having a additional screen cover in place and power connected your body+screenprotector create a capacitor, this is exactly how the screen registers touch , so without the screen protector in place this wont happen. I've seen this on a few Screen protectors that use certain types of conductive glue/bonding agent.
2. faulty charger or fake chargers often cause this behavior, try another charger or use USB on a laptop not plugged into mains power, if the problem is gone then plug in laptop's main power, if problem still gone then your issue is charger, if problem starts when pluging in the laptop's power then it's either ground loop or your screen protector acting as above.
3. faulty assembly when fitting screen, they didnty apply the copper back shield or the protective cloth that act's as a shield around the ribbon cables
before anyone shouts that samsung fixed it, I know and i can quote many a occasion a cell phone was not fixed right first time by the OEM
if you activate developers options and switch on show touches then repeat the test , does the display always show certain areas that register touch , if so it can also show where the bonding agent has a airgap, this adds to the capacitor effect.
finally try wearing shoes when touching the screen, if wearing shoes stops the problem get your house wiring checked.

hi darkspr1te,
thanks for ur response.
1. so it is entirely dependent on how the screen priotector/tempered glass is sticked to the screen?
2. sorry for not including the details on my charger in my post. i am currently using an official charger that i got when i purchased my previous samsung phone(S2 gt-i9100g). i tried using the A5 charger and the problem persists. will using a powerbank recreate the scenario of the unplugged laptop charging? if it is the same, the problem is still there even when my powerbank is unplugged. i do not have a laptop at home and it wouldnt be possible for me to get my hands on a laptop that i can use these few days. i tried charging my phone in another house (in another region which is like 20 kilometers away) and it is still the same. and my brother's samsung galaxy alpha do not have this problem while charging.
3. so u are saying that the problem might be due to oem? once again i apologize for not including this in the post. while i am at the samsung shop, the person in charge tried putting the tempered glass (which was fixed to my phone) onto another A5 which was there due to a boot loop problem, and it started to have the same problem. is it possible that all Samsung A5's assembly do not have the copper back shield or the protective cloth?
apparently nobody in the samsung shop knows how to deal with my problem because they have never seen it before. it took me quite some time to explain to each person who attempted to serve me and i only managed to show the problem to one of the personnel (which was the one who helped me fix my phone). i went back to the samsung shop 3 times in 2 days. in the 1st time, he changed the touch screen, in the second time, he changed the charging port and in the third time, he changed the motherboard.
as for the test, i turned on the pointer location and i keyed in *#7353#, and i selected TSP grid mode. that is how i checked the problem. and while i was there, the shaking only occurs at where my fingers are. i tried enabling the show touches option and the display do not register touches until i touched them.
i doubt it the the problem with my house wiring since it is the same with my other house but thanks for the suggestion. i will definitely try wearing shoes when i am at a different house. maybe both my house got wiring problem.
i learnt a lot from your post. thanks for your time and i hope to hear from u soon

Note on images 4 and 5 you will see the copper shield, this model does not have the conductive cloth I mentioned but the copper ground plane can clearly be seen on both the body and screen. Fake and non oem parts tend not to have this, in the body there is also a copper area which can be removed by mistake on replacement of the screen.
this is not often found in the replacement screen kit.

if it's happening at another location then you can discount this theory.
I am still leaning towards incorrect parts or assembly as this is the cause I personally see most often and i've repaired a LOT of damaged phones. As you have stated you have more or less a complete new phone if they replaced screen+motherboard.
I once repaired a phone that had been back to the OEM service center, cause of fault was copper strip from old screen touching the board, the copper slip was so small i only noticed it when it sparkled under the right light, it's mistakes like that is what I am talking about, easily missed by many.

I sent in my phone to the samsung store to check the charging port (which is also making some problems), and i requested them to check the copper shield.
while i was there, i realised there is another phone which has the same problem as me. could it be that all the A5 model has the same problem ? :/

I don't think it's the phone model, we would see more reports if it was, I would enquire if the other unit also had screen changed. If it has then one might assume pirate parts, no way to prove that without checking back of lcd for the oem barcode sticker. The is on possibility I only just thought of, a while back I had a client bring me a i9505 that the oem changed screen on, I just reread the emails between us and the fix was replacing the screen with a i9505 screen, the oem locally only supplies i9500 devices so they only fitted a i9500 screen, turns out there is a difference in the touch chip, I was able to prove this by attaching the touch only circuit from his old screen. No more random touches.
From this I can assume the various SM-A500 models use different touch chips. Or slightly different firmware in the chip, I have seen that before on the rock chip based tablets I support here.

Battery issue
My galaxy A5 have some battery issue. It won't charge after 88%,and didn't turn off after 2%. The phone is turn on over night at 2%..please help me regarding this issue.
Did anyone faced issue - on wireless charger, screen touch response is bad or weird to operate. Note: it happens only if i enabled high touch sensitivity option.
YES!!!
I haven't tried shutting off the screen sensitivity though. I just got a wireless car charger/cradle, so now I have a reason to be using my phone while it is wirelessly charging. To me it seems to be related to the section of the screen. The top half of the screen seems to miss occasional touches, but that even happens when it's not charging sometimes. Bottom half of the screen is OMG awful. Missed touches, extra touches, touches randomly off in some weird direction, long presses when I didn't long press, moving/dragging when I didn't move. Try typing on the keyboard if you want a fun time. It took me *SEVEN* attempts to type "Here". It kept grabbing the wrong keys, hitting the spacebar in the middle of the word, just bizarre random stuff. I couldn't even recognize what was being typed...
that's not a bug my friend - that's an issue normally associated with a cheap wireless chargers or non-OEM wireless charger.
Tried this on my 9+ with a Ravpower fast charger and have no issues with touch screen sensitivity or typing on the keyboard.
Yes! Holy ****!t, thought I was just imagining things. I experience it with my OEM 2018 Convertible wireless fast charger.
Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Yeah, happens with me when I use a cheap wireless charger.
I use an iottie fast wireless charging cradle in my car and often the touch screen is finicky. I haven't tried turning off touch sensitivity.

Do you know what scientific or engineering principles are causing this to happen? Is the electromagnetic field generated by the induction coils somehow interfering with the screen's capacitive interaction? I have only used my finger. I should try a stylus to see if there is a difference.
---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------
I have a developer option turned on to draw a small dot to indicate where you touched the screen. Yesterday I was watching as I repeatedly touched the screen in the same spot. I did not move my finger from that spot. Just lifted and tapped over and over. The dot drawn moved around quite a bit. Mostly high or low, by about 1/2". The phone was somehow getting false readings about where I was touching. No wonder I had such issues with the keyboard. I have noted that pressing harder with my normal use, *does* improve its ability to sense the touch accurately. I was not really testing that with the repeated touches though.

Do you know what scientific or engineering principles are causing this to happen? Is the electromagnetic field generated by the induction coils somehow interfering with the screen's capacitive interaction? I have only used my finger. I should try a stylus to see if there is a difference.

you have to ask yourself two things;
1. is screen touch response happening while it was on wireless charger?
2. or is screen touch response happening while using your phone regularly even without not on charger?
if your answer is #2 or both #1 and #2, you should contact where you bought and exchange it. However, if your issue is #1 only, I would try to use different wireless charger to test and see.
Also keep in mind that Exyons version fo S9/S9+ has plagued with touch screen issues (i do believe this is also officially confirmed by Samsung);

I have Snapdragon.
Initial testing on another charger seems better (not perfect). I am going to play with placement to see if that makes a difference.
same problem here. running on stock fw with stock wireless charger... tried several version of samsung wireless chargers and all results the same
I have same issue https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...rger-screen-sensitivity-t3779923/post76283002
Better to avoid wireless charger. So that screen can b saved in long run.

For my car, I just leave the phone in the wireless charging cradle, since I don't use the phone while driving, then if I need more than incidental contact with the screen while it's in the cradle, I just unplug the power source and the touch screen goes back to normal behavior. Annoying, but not unworkable.
I prefer the wireless charging because of past phone experiences where the charging port got damaged from needing to plug/unplug the phone so often. Unplugging the power source for the cradle is easy and not so likely to damage anything.
I had a fun one today I took my phone *off* the wireless charger and the touch screen went crazy. The dot showing where I was touching at the moment, was flickering down by the home button like it was the fire button on a video game. However, I wasn't touching the screen at all. So I shut the screen off (because no matter where I touched it just ignored me and kept mashing the home button). Then tried to turn it back on and nothing would happen. Normally when I get stuck like this I put it on the charger and it forces the screen on. I did that and the screen came on but it still wouldn't take my touch. So I finally had to reboot.
Did anybody was able to put the finger on the problem about touch issue with wireless charging?
(Finger on the problem...... did you get it..ok ok, need more beer)..
Again, we are taking about problem #1-: screen touch response problem happening only while it is on wireless charger!)
How does a "cheap" or none OEM wireless charger would affect the Touchscreen?
Mag field too strong? Android software disable touch while wrls/charging?
Can we lower some parameters on the phone trying to alleviate the issue?
I normally pick up my phone from the charger to use it, but out of curiosity, I just tried it on the charger, and have no problems. The charger is a Pleson Fast Charge model C500.
Try with high touch sensitive enabled. You might get issue.
Bought a new european lg v30+ , the First 6 months have been trouble free, after that i noticed the phone selecting random things while scrolling through chrome or even settings (Also happens in safemode), it seems like it's lagging, i have 50 apps in total including the stock ones, no games.
If i hold de task switch button for example it starts rapidly switching apps like i'm tapping really really quickly.
Sometimes while typing it selects letters multiple times instead of once. I assume if it was a faulty digitizer this would happen all the time? Phone has always been in a rugged case, no screenprotector. It's running official android 8 which i upgraded through lg bridge. Already tried factory reset, did not help fix this issue
If you enable Developer Mode and access those settings you can enable the phone to show you touches. This will confirm the phantom touches in apps is coming from the operating system.
My guess is that you have some crud/dirt around the edge of the screen. Take it out of the case and give it a good clean with isopropyl alchohol, and run your fingernail along the edge with a tissue. I certainly have had similar behaviour at times on various phones if the screen gets a a bit grimy and resolved it with a good clean
Other than that is probably a faulty digitiser and might need to be replaced.

I did enable show touches in developer mode, sometimes i saw the phone suddenly not registering my finger while i never lifted it off the screen. I will try to give it a good clean. Screenshot i posted below should have been 1 continuously line, that's what the phone registers when it 'freaks' out. Could this be linked to the amount of ram available?

This describes my issue perfectly. Forgot to mention: My phone has no physical damage at all
