Hi, the problem I have is with the keyboard not clickable on the edges of the screen. Buttons are clearly visible, but often I miss click on space bar or enter button, So I just have to press on upper part of space bar to make it register, or on left upper corner of enter to make it register. This is quite a headache.
There is a setting - "Ignore accidental touch on edges" - I put it all the way down, for edges to NOT be ignored. But it doesn't seem to make a difference
Do you also have it like this? Can it be solved?? Thanks
No i don't have issues like that
Try to factory reset or reinstalling a rom of your choice ......(if its not hardware issue)
I am using 12.5.7 xiaomi.eu version from more than a month with no problem (plus rooted)

I recently bought the HTC One X+ and decided yesterday to install a screen protector on it. I took the phone to a mobile store where the employee used some liquid to install the screen protector, I thought that it was no big deal, I've seen them install it this way a lot of times. The screen protector was installed and everything was fine, but about an hour of using the device.. the screen started glitching as if the notification shade was being rapidly pulled down and up, so I rebooted the phone because I thought that it may have been a bug with the ROM I was using, but after the phone fully booted, I couldn't access the notification shade by pulling it down, so I flashed Cyanogenmod (still thinking it might have been the ROM) but that didn't work...
Now the touch on the top edge of the screen is broken and I have no idea on what or who to blame.
I still haven't removed the screen protector because I'm not sure whether I should return the phone to the mobile store or just remove the screen protector and hope for the best.
What should I do?
UPDATE: I removed the screen protector half way and wiped the top of the screen but no luck :/
UPDATE 2: I give up! it seems that I have a dead zone (a perfect rectangle on the top edge)
right now I'm looking for an app that will allow me access to the notification shade by pressing the power button or long-pressing the home/back button. Anybody knows any?
Well to test if it is really a dead zone at the top of the phone underneath the earpiece, go to an app that has a horizontal orientation. Rotate your phone, and the status bar should then be along one of the sides of the screen instead. See if you can pull it down from there. If not, then for some reason you have a defunct notification shade.
If it does work, then see if there is an app that you use that will show that the zone is dead (again in horizontal orientation; you'll basically just need to change what the parts of the screen does to troubleshoot).
In the mean time, there are launchers such as Nova Launcher that allow you to add icons and set gestures to access a variety of options, including bringing down the notification shade. I personally use a down swipe on any part of the home screen to bring down the whole notification shade without having to reach to the top for it.
If you really have a dead zone on your screen, see if you can't get some help with that, because it is beyond me.

I actually can access the notification shade in landscape mode, with the help of an app I confirm that there's indeed a dead zone at the top edge of the display. My problem was that i couldn't access it in portrait mode in apps other than the custom launcher. Right now I'm using GMD Gesture Control and with a two finger swipe down I am able to finally access it but my current problem is using the device with only one hand (I can't swipe down with two fingers while using the device with one hand you see)
wouldn't removing the screen protector be the easiest way to discover if the protector is the one causing lack of sensitivity or if the device has truly been damaged?

I did remove it...
I also did some research and it turns out that pressing too hard on the screen was the main cause, so I'm going to return to the store again because of that goddamn idiot
woops, didn't see your updates. Sorry!
I finally figured out how to expand the status bar by long pressing a button thanks to this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.friedflow.statusbarexpander&hl=en
bump this thread up.
just had this problem and tried searching for a solution, only managed to find this thread. running a fully stock phone.
software 1.17.707.2, android 4.1.1. tried rebooting, shutting off phone and leaving it off overnight and turning it on in the morning.
the only app i installed within the last week was castle clash(and since uninstalled it, doesn't work).
using the developer tools(pointer location), realised the dead zone was across the whole drop down notification bar (y coordinates of 0-98 out of 1280)..
anyone has encountered a similar problem and has a solution?
I wonder whether this is like this or I'm the only one experiencing this...
Right, when I try to swipe down fast anywhere before the "Sony" logo, on the left side, it wont swipe down, if I swipe down a bit slower it will work but then the "quick settings" will open. But, if I swipe as fast as I want anywhere after the "y" in the Sony logo it will open up the notification bar. I guess I havent noticed this since I always use my right thumb and quickly swipe on the right side, but noticed that the left side isn't the same, is this a feature from the phone? It's not the touchscreen that's defect because I have the delevoper option enabled that shows me my touches and they're all recognized.
Anyone with a Z2 please test this out.
Thanks
Nevermind my touchscreen is faulty on a certain spot. Sending it in.
Hi, I am absolutely new here and technically about android too.
Details about OS:
Sense 5.5 + 4.2.2 JB (Factory installed)
Things were good with my HTC One X+ for exactly 1 year.
Now it started giving problems...
First mobile got froze with notification window half dragged (when mobile was idle for nearly 2 Hrs), it won't respond to normal touch and keys. Power down didn't work too. Left it like that for 2 hours, then it allowed me to restart. After couple of restarts it became normal, almost. Now notification pull down won't work, with screen rotated - it works.
Tested with HTC tools and with ZTest, no touch sensitivity on the area where notification bar is.
Is it a HW issue or can be resolved by SW updates?
Please help me with this.
Digitzer problem, having the same.
Run HTC test app, it can only be opened by entering the dialer and typing hmm, *#*#HTCTEST#*#* I guess. Then there will be an option to draw lines where you touch. Swipe with your finger on your whole screen and probably a small area in shape of a rectangle at the top of your screen won't draw any lines.
Alternatively, you can go to settings > developer options and there is a similar option to draw lines.

Ran the test. As you said, it won't draw lines in shape of a rectangle where notification bar is.
So it's HW issue. I will check for Digitizer replacement. Thank you.
Hey Friends,
i noticed, that unlike other phones, I am having the issue of having to tap twice on the screen to get the phone to react.
More specifically, when I am scrolling up (for example the whatsapp contact list) and I tap on a contact shortly after the scrolling has hit the top the app will not go into the contact despite the tap.
I have to wait 1-2 seconds and then tap for it to actually register the tap itself.
I am having a similar tap issue with the nav bar below. I find myself often tapping twice on the circle to get to home. Somehow the hits are not registering in time/correctly.
To my surprise, there are apps (e.g. the home drawer) that react on the first tap.
Anyone with similar issues?
anyone?

No problem for me.
Did you do a factory reset ?
No problem for me also
Mate 10 pro and note that am activating gloves mode
No problem on my Pro either!
No issue here,but I'm running newer firmware.
I'm giving this a try.

I'm having similar issues but went to settings/ smart assistance and messed with "touch disable mode and glow mode"
Also try settings/ language and imput/ pointer speed.
I'm giving this a try for a couple of days before my return period expires good luck!
Case closed?
I thought i was the only one since i hadn't seen anybody post about it
I finally decided to remove the "tempered glass" which after removal I realized its not tempered glass, but a very thick screen protector (don't know what brand, I got this phone from a friend). So I was hoping that the screen protector is the culprit and YES, after removal my touchscreen sensitivity is better now. I wouldn't say it's performing perfectly, but it's much better than before. No more typo every now and then lol.
Edit:
Still getting trouble (just less frequent than before) especially when im typing fast, the letter S and A usually missed out. For example, i typed "missed" but result is "mised". And spacebar too! So annoying
Also like OP, nav bar sometimes i hv to tap twice.
i have problem with navbar not responding for about 1.5 sec after doing some stuff on homescreen. workaround for me was to switch to different navbar style after phone reboot. after next one delay returns. reported it to huawei and we'll see what happens. im on 8.0.0.129. to reproduce just tap anywhere on screen and then rigt after try to press any button on the navbar.
Same here, had touch issue since day 1. Sometimes it ignores space, sometimes I have a hard time using gesture with OnePlus gestures and so on. Gloves mode help a bit. Probably some digitiser are worse and the software can compensate only so much. I mean you can always use the warranty...
Anyone else having trouble with gesture navigation when using full screen apps?
Sometimes when I start a video on YouTube in full screen mode, switch temporarily to a messaging app and then come back to the video, the gesture navigation is all messed up. Lower part (short side of the phone) of the screen doesn't register touch so I can't get out of full screen in YouTube and the thin white bar is not where it should be on the longer side (which is now supposed to be the bottom), but instead it is on the short side which should also be my "back" gesture now.
This is very annoying as trying to swipe 'back' now gets me to the home screen and I am unable to hit three dots or the full screen button in YouTube.
I am not using auto-rotate, but I am using Sony Side sense and obviously gestures to navigate. Rotating the phone 180 degrees and back seems to fix it. It's like the phone forgets how it should be oriented when I switch between an app that is in portrait mode and landscape mode
Anyone else out there with these kind of issues or am I alone with this?
I've also experienced this and have found no fix. If I go to recent apps and re-enter the app from there a couple times, it fixes itself but that's all I've found.
