Phone randomly starts vibrating rapidly and one handed mode gets triggered and turns off again and this happens again and again rapidly. Phone is unusable in that state. Seems like some defect in capacitive keys something is touching them...i have removed tempered glass... thought it was curptile...but it didn't fix it.
If someone had same problem then please help.

What rom are you using? Did you try flashing different rom? More info needed.
If it's related to hardware issue as you said 'capacitive keys' you can install custom rom and disable hardware capacitive keys and enable on screen keys.
sounds like moisture could of gotten in digitizer (was the tempered glass water based?), or it could of been esd if phone was on while you applied it, since some glass use static cling.
try turning the phone off (power off), then place infront of a fan for a few hours to make sure no moisture is in it

Not Tempered glass but cause can be moisture from other sources..It happened suddenly so i think its the case...will surely try your suggestion.

Hi everybody,
Recently I've been encountering a problem where my streak won't respond to any touches after I open the screen. Pressing the power button and waking the phone up again does not solve the problem. I've read about the static issue, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the case here as the problem still occurs even when my streak isn't in my pocket.
Oddly enough, rebooting the phone solves the issue temporarily. The touchscreen will work perfectly until I turn the screen off again, but when I turn the screen back on, the phone doesn't seem to register any touches. The phone itself works fine as it still receives notifications even when the touchscreen is unresponsive.
Is this a hardware or a software issue?
I'm currently on DSC 2.2 and baseband 366. I'm going to try a factory reset right now to see if any will improve.
Thanks!
Edit: did a factory reset, problem is still occurring
I have the same problem, does anyone know how to fix this? thanks

Have you tried recalibrating your touch screen from the dell menu?
Its option 3, worked for me a few days ago.

Yeah I have. I'm currently assuming it's a hardware issue since I've reverted back to a stock rom along with several other custom roms but the touchscreen still remained unresponsive after waking it up. I'm hypothesizing its a bad connection somewhere, especially if the display and touch sensor wake up separately. Does anybody know anything about this and whether it can be repaired?
On the other hand, I might be completely wrong...
I noticed that some bags for DS5 produce static electricity, such as the original Dell Bag (Futon bag - ?)
The Leather Bag (with red fissure) does not produce static electricity even when having the DS5 in trousers.

I had this problem once, pried and screwed the Streak open, checked connection ribbons, and cleaned it with (a little bit) electric contact spray. This has saved my irresponsive power button as well! Success:good:
So my phone is in perfect condition i've had it under a month there has been no major damage to it, it looks new and has been in an otterbox all its life with another screen protector on it.
But when i woke up this morning the touch screen wouldn't respond. I could use all the buttons and they worked i could even pull up s voice by holding the home button and then pressing back button and get to android home menu with the app. But the touch screen would not detect my fingers at all.
I don't see how its possible it has got any damage it is in perfect condition.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I think i read somewhere about resetting the digitizer?
And as far as resetting it to factory and or going to a different firmware. Since i cannot access my apps i cannot really backup my phone and it has really important info that i can't lose. So i'm stuck in between 2 walls and i am screwed.. Any suggestions?
Oh and i also removed the otterbox and screen protector to make sure nothing trapped underneath it was causing interference. No luck. :crying:

if not rooted send it for warranty, and if it is rooted unroot it first and check download mode status before claiming warranty.
use a usb otg cable and usb mouse to navigate the screen.
You can make a backup using adb

My phone is in the shop for that and beeing repaired, probably a digitizer malfunction (hardware related). Buttons work but touch does not work. Send it in for repair. They will replace the whole screen.
Hello guys,
While I was using, all of a sudden, the soft keys and and the lowest area of the touch screen is not taking any responses. The touch screen works fine in other areas. I tried enabling navigation keys on screen which comes at the bottom end and hence that didn't work. .The screen is responsive above that. phone never fell down. It was well protected.
Tried resetting, didnt work. Same issue is there even when I open TWRP. The navigation keys on twrp also will not work
What do You guys think? Is the keys dead?
Kindly help

That's a hardware fault. If you believe that it has not suffered any external damage, you may want to open it up & make sure the ribbon cable for digitizer is completely seated to the board.
Otherwise, you may need a new phone.
I'm sure there was no external damage. Well protected with case, Screen guards on, Never fallen from my hand. Not even a single scrach on phone
Will it work if I change the digitizer?
:crying: I have same problem too
I'm gonna try replacing the Digitizer.
Yesterday I got my LG G watch and everything was great, then this morning I tried to apply a screen protector, and since then my screen has been randomly turning on and stuff, it launched Google voice search by itself or swiped trough the cards by itself. I already did a factory reset, but the problem still persist. Does anyone else face this problem and is there a way to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: After turning developer options on and using the show touches option I can see my screen is pressed without I am pressing it (the entire time it's the corner at the bottom right of the screen). Is this an over sensitive screen? Or maybe it happened because I tried to apply a screen protector?

I have a spigen screen protector on (dry install) and have no issues. Was yours a dry install as well? Not sure what happens with wet installs.

Mine also was dry install, I used a screen protector tool to get the bubbles out, maybe I pushed too hard? (which is not likely, because I have applied dozens of screen protectors and never had any issues)

Unsure. I would just take off the protector.I hope it didn't cost too much. Maybe try another?
Stupid question, did you take off the factory cover prior to installing the new one? Sorry, I have to ask lol.

Haha, didn't cost too much, however, de problem persist even when screen protector is removed..
Yes I did take it off
Oke, first I thought it was due to an oversensitive touchscreen, however, now I am experiencing the problem when in direct sunlight, when getting back inside the problem keeps appearing for an hour or something and then disappears.. Is this common for some touchscreen?

Mine turns on randomly all the time, it's super annoying, but I think there might be a way to disable it.
I think it's supposed to be a feature: you move your arm around, and the screen turns on so you can read it. Neat idea, but it's waaaay too sensitive, and my screen turns on alllll the time for no reason.
However, your watch is even scrolling through pages and activating google now? Yikes. And it still scrolls/activates google now after you removed the screen protector, not just turning screen on? Unfortunately, I would probably try to exchange it But you'll be glad you did.

Thanks for your reply, unfortunate you experience the same with your watch, however, mine is not too sensitive, but the heat of the sun or bright daylight causes the touchscreen to activate and register a touch, I already informed LG of my problem, and they said they took the problem to the technical staff and will inform me in a couple of days what to do
I have a very irritating problem my device touch screen is responding even though it is black and locked. It keeps annoying me when i am in a call and it is only a matter of time till it ends the call. Problem started after having a screen replacement but i can hardly believe it is a screen problem because it is functioning normally and also gets dark when i am in a call. My proximity sensor is working as it should. It is like my screen gets dark and not totally off.
My phone is rooted and i am running lollipop 5.1.1 custom rom

It sounds like you are having ghost touch problem. This usually presents itself when you change the front glass with digitizer and leave the old LCD. This cannot be repaired if this is the case. I dont think this is a sw problem. When did this issue started to manifest itself? Right after the screen replacement or it started to appeare gradually?
Yes it appeared just after repairing the cracked screen. The lcd was working but not the touch and the glass was all cracked.
How can i solve this?

One thing to mention is that i do not get touches that i didn't make. They are just getting read when the screen shouldn't read them.

But does touch work normally when you use the phone? Ghost touch can manifest itself on various ways, like your case or can go completely crazy when the screen is on. You can try some apps that resolve ghost touch like touch fixer. Some people are saying that unlocking BL and flashing CM resolves this issue and other sollutions you can try is to apply heat with heat gun or hair drier directly on the screen to make sure the glue is sticking the digitizer onto the LCD propperly, or fiddle with the flat cable contacts bit by bit until the touch is working properly but this requires disassembling the device again. You can alway try to flash different firmware to see if it'll resolve your issue but I highly doubt it will. GL
