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.

Hi guys!
I bought the Z3TC LTE and are very happy with the device but I experience kind of ghosting with the touch screen:
Moving my finger up and down on an scrollable page / app it starts missing or skipping a movement!
Is that a general problem or should I return the device?
I made an demonstration Video:
http://youtu.be/EUeAt1HMt-w
try a reboot.
is it only 1 app or is it happening on different apps?
Reproducible in every App! Reboot does not help!
If I find time I'm gonna try the same on an Z3TC in an local store..
hmmm thats strange....
glove mode is not on right?
If not, try a factory reset.
if that does not work, sounds like service.....
does this happen when you are charging the device? sometimes this is caused by a charger that doesn't supply sufficient current

I think I am facing the opposite of that. The screen is far too sensitive and sometimes takes a scroll as a touch. Happens everywhere on the device. I fear it's a hardware thing.

Exactly that made me aware of the problem! Did you try what I did in my YouTube video?
I have tested an black Z3TC WLAN in the local store! Could not reproduce the problem! Gonna send it back, keep you updated!
I had a similar problem for a couple of days.
The tablet would scroll up and down on web pages erratically and also when using the keyboard it would enter words independently.
The issue resolved itself after awhile so there is nothing I can suggest to fix it.

Mine also typing by itself (when battery below 20%)
I had the same issue and end up got a replacement from vendor. They didn't do serious check and question me as usual. Then give me another one.
it makes me feel this is a common issue with this tablet.
Mine works perfectly fine

I have this but it's not static. It was happened from time to time, both vertical and horizontal scrolls.
Also the replacement tablet has the problem! Could you guys please write which model you have? Might be LTE related!?

As far as I know, ghost touch is almost always a digitizer hardware problem, but I stand to be corrected on that. Have you tried pulling the battery and leaving the phone off for a while (15+ minutes)?

I don't think you have that many options. Here are the things I would try, in order:
- Open the phone and disconnect the screen from the motherboard, then reconnect it
- Factory reset (back up the phone with LG Backup, or TWRP if you have a model that supports it)
- Replace the screen
I have a feeling that a factory reset isn't going to do much of anything, but it's worth trying before you spend money on a new screen.
Re: ghost touch
I had mine doing the same thing, I'm on a h820 however the screens weren't different amongst the variants as far as I know. Was able to get an oem replacement on Amazon for like 68$. The install wasn't all too difficult and did alleviate the ghost touch. Mine was bad bad before changing out the screen. Like it would press and hold the home button or the back button and make the phone unusable. No problems with the new screen so far.
Here's a link to the one I bought. It was two numbers off from the original one on the underside of the screen where the LG info is stamped.
Well it won't let me post the link.. Not enough posts. But it was from a US seller and said oem in the listing title.

have you tried the touch screen calibration settings?
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?
Settings > Advanced features, scroll to the bottom.

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
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 have the same issue. I think it is a software bug they might fix. Unless we both are the only ones with this issue.
Just to know. Which screen guard are you using?
For me also fingerprints dont register sometimes
I can confirm that i too have noticed ghost touch issue

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.

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.

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.
