Dead spot on screen - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

I have spot on my s9+ screen that is very difficult to register touches. It's on the top left of the phone right below the carrier name. Sometimes it will register the touch but most of the time it won't. Is anyone else having touch issues?

Haven't noticed any problems on mine. The spot you describe seems to be fine here.

Well, I took my screen protector off and it seemed to fix this issue. Figured I got a bad one so I went and got a new one and guess what... now it does it on a different spot. =/

Are you sure it is a spot on a bubble?

Have you tried increasing the touch sensitivity?

And the link to the said article https://www.engadget.com/2018/03/22/samsung-galaxy-s9-s9plus-dead-spots/

I think is an issue affecting many devices. And Samsung started investigating this screen related issues.
Best thing to do is to contact Samsung or the vendor of the phone

Touchscreen Issues As Well...

Anyone have an issue with their touchscreen where there is a "dead spot"? I don't know how to describe it other than that. There is a spot if I touch it, nothing happens. It is right where the Accept and Download button is on the market in portrait orientation. It seems to be all the way across the screen in a horizontal line. Pixels and color are not affected just the touch effect. If i reboot, it goes away for a while. Switching ROMs makes no difference, happens on every one I have tried though, so it seems to be a hardware issue. Any help would be great.

If you had searched the forums, you would have come across this, which will solve your problem.
Also, it's not flashable so unzip it and put the apk on your phone, install it, then run.

Try to find the HTC Calibrate.apk and push it to System/Apps... It'll Definitely Help!

I ran the advanced search and couldn't find anything for the E3D. But thanks for the help and for the hand-slap dude.

Really? After about 1.4 seconds I had 4 touchscreen issue threads (including this one.) pop up after searching "touchscreen issue" in the "search this forum" bar. Did you fix your problem?
No go.
Well the HTC Calibrate app did not work. I must say that it did help for sure, but the same dead spot issue keeps happening. OK, so now I have begun to look at replacement parts on Ebay. So just to get this straight, it is the digitizer/front glass assembly that registers touch, correct? As I said, there are no missing pixels or colors, so does that rule out the LCD? Or should I but both to be on the safe side? I really want this issue done and over with, so help me get this thing taken care of guys. Thanks to all you guys for the help. Also, if anyone has a digitizer and LCD assembly for a good price, let me know.
I had the same issue where the bottom quarter of my e3d hboot 1.5 didn't work I didn't have insurance so I took it in and the sprint manager said I wasnt the only one with the issue it's a htc issue I tried the calibration on different roms bit it would only give you calibration on the top half of the screen, spent swapped it out and I got a new e3d with hboot 1.5 of course but at least the touch screen is working.....hoped that helped you out cuz I searched everywhere and couldn't find a solution.
I was toying with that idea. Will the "watermark" from unlocking a 1.50 hboot version be a problem? Obviously I need to unroot. And also, I bought this phone from an individual just a few weeks ago after I got my first one stolen, will this be a problem? Any other thoughts on taking it back to sprint?
Yeah, it is really weird, it is exactly where the "Accept & Download" button is when making a market purchase. So, yeah it sucks, I have to rotate it horizontal every time I want to buy something
I have been having lots of touchscreen issues as well. Tried lots of different roms and kernels but no luck. Someone suggested formatting the SD card. I haven't had access to a computer so i just removed the card about an hour ago to test and so far i haven't had any issues.

LCD panel bleeding light at the bottom chin

Can any one confirm if they are seeing a bleeding effect at the bottom of the phone lcd panel. Overall the lcd panel of this phone is really bad. Comparing it to my OP2 and the illumination of the panel is too low. Anybody else with the same issues? I have put up a pic of the issue. Updated images of comparison with OP2 (In each pic POCO F1 is the at the top and OP2 at the bottom.)
Update 10/09/2018
First up my apologies for being away for the past 3-4 days. I have been trying to solve the issues with the phone and then over the weekend was caught up in some personal stuff. I thought of updating my original post rather than putting up a new one as this whole thing has come to a conclusion for me. So just a small recap, I bought the phone on 29th AUG in the first flash sale. Received the phone on 31st AUG as soon as I started the phone I found the bottom chin had a weird illumination. After a few days as the issue persisted checked online and found that the LCD panel suffered from light bleeding issues. I just headed here and created this thread and put in a request on Flipkart for a replacement. After that here is what followed.
04.09.2018 - Return requested
05.09.2018 - Got a call from Flipkart that a Technician will visit to check the device and same will be completed by 08.09.2018
07.09.2018 - Technician visited my place and checked the phone, he accepted that there was an issue however he mentioned that it is difficult to observe and explain the issue to his seniors. He however took a pic of the problem so I was hopeful that a replacement would be provided.Late evening I got a SMS that tech visit was completed, I checked the Flipkart app and it said Replaced Rejected. WTF!!!! There was Return option so selected that and the reason I selected was quality issues with product. Was surprised to see that refund request was accepted and someone would pick the package the next day.
08.09.2018 - Courier guy came to pick the package. Since I have kept the back stickers with the bar code and stuff I had just everything back as I had received it. The courier dude was acting smart and since I had already left for work he tried bullying my Mom saying the phone is not working asking what the issue was, me Mum just asked him to shut up check the package had everything and take it like he is supposed to. After checking everything and making sure all accessories are there the courier person took the package. I got a message that package was picked and refund initiated and credit will show up in my account in 3 business days.
10.09.2018 - Credit received :victory:
Regarding the Issue
First - This is not a fatal issue and as far as I know LCD bleeding does not increase with time however this is a hardware issue so if you are holding on thinking some software update is going to fix this, then sorry you are wrong.
Second - I don't agree with the "you get what you pay for" argument simply because everyone is paying the same amount of money but having different experience (We can see from pics posted by users that for some the problem is obvious and for some it is minimal and hardly noticeable)
Third - If you have this issue and it doesn't bother you then I would say go ahead and enjoy the phone. If you noticed this after checking this thread then I am sorry
Fourth - I would strongly recommend that people buy this phone taking Replacement/Refund policies of the merchant that is selling the phone into consideration. Guys that have purchased this from Mi website directly and want a replacement are having a tough time and am not sure if Mi website even has a refund policy. For Indian users get this from Flipkart and not Mi website, for other countries make sure Replacement/Refunds are provided in case you want to avail the same.
Final Thoughts -
I though the POCO F1 had great potential to take over from OnePlus as a budget flagship alternative however they messed up. If the POCO team had spent a little more time and may be resources on QA ,Software optimization (bugs in MIUI, bad implementation of curved corners, multi touch issues, etc) and may be a better name {POCO I mean seriously!!! } this phone would have been a serious contender.
Conclusion
I would like to thank everybody that participated in this thread and responded with pics for a comparison. Since I don't have the phone anymore I don't think it would be right for me to post here anymore. I just put a new battery in my OP2 so going to wait for some time and see what the Pixel's gonna be like or the OP6T maybe.
Looks fine to me on my POCO F1.
Yes buddy, I have it too... I verified with 2 other poco f1's

Yup this is how it is supposed to be. A google search revealed quite a few Indian users have reported this and Indonesian units too are suffering from this. Do you have the Indian unit or a global one? Also what configuration have you got?

This is so screwed up. I bought the phone coz I liked the Redmi Note 5 Pro I got for my dad. Poco screen looks bad when comparing side by side with Redme Note 5 Pro. Even brightness levels are horrible on Poco screen looks really dim at the same level as RN 5 Pro.

Well that just sucks. When did you get the replacement? I raised a request on the 5th of Sept coz I felt maybe a diff lot may not have the issue. Its funny coz some units dont have this issue (like the one posted here). I guess its like 6 out of 10 are reporting this.

All the best for your refund mate hope they process it without hassels. The pblm with this issue is that some people just say it looks okay. Best way to reproduce is to open Chrome blank page and press and hold Power off button till the power off options come up and check the bottom if it shows a halo effect.
Let us know how the refund goes it should help others in making a decision. Curious thing is not a lot of people complaining about this like the boot loader issue.

I guess you are opening chrome in "Incognito" mode. The effect is visible on white backgrounds I guess if you just download a white image in full screen it should show up as well. Have no info on the service mode however some one having this issue posted on twitter regarding a display test you can do.

P.S. I went back to my old device so I havent tried the steps mentioned in the tweet.
could you please explain about the issue, i'm not understanding the problem... I mean I do see a bit white color in power options screen but I don't understand the issue with this.

A bit of inconsistent brightness levels are expected with LCD panels however with the POCO F1 quite a few people are facing LCD bleed that is very notice able. If the inconsistency is minimal and some thing you can live with then its alright. For me it has been bothering me from day one as soon as I switched the phone on. I mainly use my phone for watching videos and the effect sometimes is more pronounced and that bothers me hence I have asked for a replacement.

How can I make screen more sensitive?

Does anyone have the problem where scrolling isnsiepr fast and scrolling is also only nice when their finger in flat on the screen and morning an angle? When I use my left thumb, in an angle it sometimes doesn't scroll proeprly and instead moves very little. It's very annoying.
Yes i have this. It's caused by input lag very high on this Phone !
Yes its horrible..Can not understand that they sell it with such issues and call it master of speed.
Will send it Back in monday
LOL

Why Fake?
This is happening with me 2. Is it hardware issue? Or should I replace it?
Bad news http://en.miui.com/thread-3746297-1-1.html this smartphone is very bad !
I can use this phone through gloves.
I've kind of made the problem go away. Idk if it's a placebo and I've gotten used to it. But I'll end the thread and start another one to state what I've done. You can give me feedback there.

I didn't have something that extreme. But it seems better for me after I turned off mi optimisation in the developers options. Also go to extra settings and pick authorisation. I turned everything off and left settings. I'm about to root my phone as it has been nearly 3 days. There should be a fix in the Mi forums somewherem

Yes. For me it's a functionality rather than a bug. It allows me to use the screen even with gloves on. Also the response will normalise if you install a tempered glass.

I installed tempered glass from the 1st day and getting touch issues. I thought it is software bug. Like, if I swipe left or right and it works as swipe up or down.
Mi post about their miui 10 beta 2, their is written that ghost and multi touch problem will be solved. If miui beta 2 solved these issues then I will install it manually. https://en.miui.com/thread-3935216-1-1.html
I post about the touch issues to poco India in twitter and they replied me to DM to us with contact number and miui version of my device, our team will call you.

Touch screen recognize touch after lifting finger

Rate this bug on miui forum.
http://en.miui.com/thread-3965047-1-1.html
Touch is not get recognized on edge of right and left side of screen.
I read latest thread by candicesu and he is claiming that its keyboard app issue and for gaming, network delay. But it's not.
You can easily reproduce this in stock miui dialer app.
And it's universal bug in stable and beta builds. @candicesu, go and try following steps then stop blaming on apps for this and work on this bugs.
All users are here not 1st time touch mobile users.
How to :
Open dialer.
Touch on any number which are on edge, like 1,3,6 etc.
While on touching edge, you can see that number get typed only after you lift your finger, not when you touch screen.
Also, sometimes system totally miss those touches, or get recognize after few seconds.

Say whatever u want, but in my phone both dialer and keyboard works fine. Touching at the very edge of the screen. Same result as touching letter and numbers in the middle of the screen.
Yes, there is an issue with the edges and touch response. Some people here like to dismiss it as fake but the issue is very real. And Xiaomi claims it's a 3rd party app problem but it's not.

Won't say all faulty units are in India , every product will have some %age of faulty devices coming in the market.
Now India has probably the maximum number sold. Around 100,000 odd were sold in the first sale and by now probably it would have crossed 250,000 mark or maybe much more
So sheer number. Italy would have what 25 -50 ,000?

I wonder what this dude's issue is ? Clearly there is a widespread touch problem on POCO phones, including my device, and this person's response is "I don't have an issue, so it does not exist." Just check out his posting history:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=451096883
I simply add astroturfers like this user to the Ignore list. I suggest others do the same, and help contribute towards an increase in the signal to noise ratio on these forums.

Touch Issue on G8X Indian Variant

Hi,
Has anyone here noticed touch issues in certain sections like the google feed? The phone starts detecting touches while I am swiping up normally. This happens in Boost for Reddit too. This is becoming a massive nuisance for me. It does not happen everywhere.

Not sure if this can be considered a ghost touch issue. Let's say I am swiping up on google feed, the phone instead of scrolling through my feed will open an article instead. It will register a click instead of a swipe action. I have enabled the "Show touches" option in developer settings and I can see that the phone screen is detecting a swipe, but the software is registering it as a tap.
Another issue is that my phones randomly stops reading my fingerprints.
I may have received a lemon.

I am using a note 7 pro tempered glass for my g8x. I was wondering if that's causing this issue.
I called LG service center today, he asked me to factory reset but no luck after that too. He asked me to get software updated from LG service center if problem isn't solved through factory reset. But i guess even that wont solve problem considering this factory reset experience. Seems their latest software is buggy or its hardware issue. Donno what to do should i replace product
I mean seriously this was their last year flagship n this irritating issue they have
Cant understand if they cant deliver good software then why dont they simply provide bootloader unlocking so that users can have custom roms. :X

I am using a different one. So thats not the issue...
I too experience the same issue. I had this issue without tempered glass and also with tempered glass from panthershieldz applied. We better try to root the device and install a different cfw to check it.

Another issue is that my phones randomly stops reading my fingerprints.
I may have received a lemon.

I am just clicking on the Right side of a story and it sends me to the previous Story... And this is happening with much other applications too,... It's registering swipe instead of clicks
I have 2 devices, and I haven't encountered any such issues on either of them. Did you update the software on your devices OTA?

Can u tell software build number u have currently installed?
Hey guys. I think I figured it out. I am guessing most of us facing this issue are using gestures for navigation.
I put navigation buttons back and the issue stopped. Then I again activated gestures and reduced sensitivity. And issue is still not there. Again I increased sensitivity and still issue is not there. I am guessing it is a bug in gesture controls. Pls check and see guys.
If you guys still have the issue, then the other things I have done is a factory reset and a debloat of the OS.
I doubt these are the reason for fix though.
Phone now finally feels like a flagship after getting this resolved :good:

I am also noticing low FPS while using this phone. Is this why they sold it for so cheap? Because the phone is plagued with issues?

I suspected the gestures to be the problem and I tried disabling them, but it didn't help. I will factory reset it and check again.

Yes, they were. I bought them on the second sale day-at Rs. 22,000. Haven't had any issues in either of them.

I reset my phone and then removed all the bloatware as you did. The phone seemed to work well for a while but started acting up after a few hours. I did reduce the animation times to .5x though, not sure if that has anything to do with it, disabling them didn't fix it.

Mine is from the same batch. Not sure what's wrong here, since the issue is specific to certain applications.

Try reducing the gesture sensitivity. I have animations at 1x.
Sometimes the issue does pop up. But very rarely.
