Problem summary
Known cause (might be others): selecting an app from the Recents list (Task Switcher)
Temporary fix: turn the screen off, then back on
Workaround: avoid using Recents list (you can use a 3rd party task switcher instead)
How to test: open Messaging, hit Home, hit Recents, select Messaging from the list. Your screen will be less sensitive until you turn the screen off and back on. You can view the pressure by going to Settings -> Developer Options -> turn on Pointer Location. This will allow you to see the Prs of each tap in your status bar. Normally your lightest taps that register will show anywhere from 0.28 to 0.32. However, after this bug is activated, you will mostly get values over 0.40 for your light taps. This is actually a very noticeable increase, especially when trying to type quickly.
Please report any other known methods to "activate" this bug. After re-assigning my Recents button to a 3rd party app (I'm using Simple Task Switcher), I haven't seen this bug at all. It seems that a couple of people have seen it produced by something other than Recents, but they haven't narrowed it down (or reliably reproduced it on purpose).
Please star this issue officially so Google can fix:

Hehe yes this s gonna be a difficult one to confirm. But it is definitely not dirty hands. To clarify, a quick press of the power button to lock then unlock completely fixes the issue. Same fingers suddenly register perfectly. This is driving me nuts as the phone is not even usable right now. Literally.

ios 6.2 doesnt get issues.
I don't know about your other experiences, but as far as the browser goes I have the same scrolling effects as you do. I think this is how it is meant to be. They tightened the scrolling a lot and I kinda like it. Before one small flick would send me across the whole page, which was kinda annoying. Just my preference.
I'm not having this problem. It would drive me crazy too. Been using my phone alot over the past two days and I didn't run into this problem even after almost 1h of continuous surfing. Also a few checkpoints of Shadowgun didn't trigger it.
But you can confirm your problem if you enable "cursor position" in the dev options (hope that's what it 's called in english). "Prs" and "Size" should need a lot more than around 0.30-0.40 to register your touch if you have the problem you describe.
I am sorry that you're experiencing this, but 4.0.4 has nothing to do with this. 4.0.4 is just software, Galaxy Nexus is not a pressure-sensitive device, it is merely touch-sensitive. Which means that software gets an analogue signal from the touchscreen, either 1 or 0. It has no 'range' of sensitivity, so it cannot decrease in sensitivity in software (if it did, then it would not work at all).
This is entirely hardware issue and I suggest either making sure your screen is clean, your screen protection thing (if you use one) isn't acting up or if your hardware has become faulty (have you dropped it recently?).
If problem persists then return under warranty.
My wife had this issue once.
It was the third party launcher she was using.
I don't think its a matter of touch sensitivity dropping, its a matter of the system just being too slow to really work right.
It was ADW EX, fwiw.

Lol that is hilarious. You forgot the step where its the OS that actually processes the input data, so in that process, a ton of problems can arise.
And personally, since 4.0.4 I have also been experiencing a "similar" issue. When scrolling down (and only down), I experience a kind of "lag" like if it only registers the swipe movement half an inch lower. Its not a big deal, but still an issue.
Edit : What he explains as "pressing very hard" is most likely the fact that when you press harder you actually cover more surface, so the amount of extra input data can definitely impact the behavior.
I had issues for a few hours after the 4.0.4 update, where my softkey buttons weren't responding. Thankfully, it seems to be fine now, but it was a cause for concern.

Thank you my friend, I should have thought of this; now I have numbers to confirm this. So with cursor option enabled I can get down to 0.30, managed 0.28 once. However when the bug starts, I can confirm that I cannot get below 0.60. It just refuses to register that input for some reason.
I lock the screen, 1 second is all it takes, and now it registers down to 0.30 again and all touch works properly. Its almost like some type of memory leak issue is the way it feels to me. It only starts happening after a few min of use.
Its definitely an issue now that I can see the pressure numbers. The question is what the hell can I do about it. I flashed aokp29 with the latest 4.0.4 ota merged in, problem still occurs. I'm gonna try stock 4.0.2 or 4.0.1 just to see. Thanks.
I have never had much luck upgrading Linux versions. That's why I start fresh every time with Android. Lol

Before I start digging, anyone know specifically which driver controls the touch input? I'll try looking thru github.
Also I was on stock 4.0.1 prior to this. So this could be normal behavior for everyone but everybody is used to it since nobody stayed on 4.0.1 like me. Cause I can easily say this is difficult to notice if you aren't paying attention. The question is, why does locking the screen temporarily change it back...
I can confirm some of what you are saying..sometimes when I'm browsing the scrolling tightens up..I lock the phone then unlock it and it is smooth again..doesn't happen all the time tho..doesn't bother me but I've noticed it

I can also confirm. This morning I found the Swiftkey was lagging on Facebook. Something like the phone did not receive the touch. Then I rebooted and now it is ok.
I did not get this issue on 4.0.2 and I don't install anything new on 4.0.4.
The way I installed 4.0.4 was from the official factory image, so my phone is fresh! I reinstalled all apps manually as well. Nothing fancy apps.
I know this is my first post, but I can definitely confirm this issue.
I use my Galaxy Nexus for development, so the screen is always on. The sensitivity goes down very quickly.
My phone was an International GNEX that I loaded the US firmware on and then I flashed the OTA 4.0.4 update.

Just to point out, the phone is all digital. It does not get an analog signal from touching the screen. Also to that point you said analog but then described digital with the 1 and 0
Has anyone affected tried going between 4.0.2 and 4.0.4? To check the possibility of a driver or some related value changing.
Also, if not fixed by going back to 4.0.2, this could be due to current leakage from somewhere causing the touch to not work properly. I've seen it on other capacitive touch devices, though mainly when a non-compatible charger is connected. When you shut the screen off, the charge causing the problem/interference with the touch is temporarily dissapated, but then comes back after you use it again. Probably very unlikely in this case, unless Google changed something in the touch driver that makes it more sensitive to interference, which in turn messes with actual input from fingers.

Its possible. I was on 4.0.1 so perhaps this issue originated in 4.0.2 but I never noticed since I didn't update then. I can add that I did multiple wipes and clean flashes, and also tried both aokp 28 and 29 (new 4.0.4 ota merged), and happened on both.
I'll post what I just sent to arbiter which gives more insight.
From my extra testing under normal use my light touches register 0.28-0.33. Especially on swipes, the end of the swipe registers 0.28 as the finger travel breaks contact with the screen giving that swipe extra input which pushes the swipe motion further extra boost. When the bug starts the touch swipe won't even break 0.38-0.40, and that extra swipe data is lost resulting in the end of the swipe data points being excluded and swipes travel half the distance.
This gets exacerbated on the keyboard when fast typing light pressed. Its so bad it frustrates my face off cause typing just ceases to be possible. Such a difficult issue to diagnose.

Hi,
I have a UK sim free model. It sometimes misinterprets a tap or adds a phantom tap. Its not terrible but I'm sure mine has a issue. A quick Google and a tweet tell me I am not alone. Anyone else seeing this? I could return but I'm dubious it's hardware related...just not sure if it's worth waiting for a software update...

I have same issues with my g4 here in the US.
Unfortunately same here, on a G4, korean model F500S.
I have the same issues on my G4. So probably returning it won't solve it. I notice it the most when I am scrolling in Facebook or web pages I will open a link accidently.
I have the same, occasionally it just won't respond to some taps, i find just pressing the standby on/off button quickly sorts it but it is very annoying.
same here in israel, sometimes do not respond to double tap on lock screen to wake the G4 up
im sure its a software issue, prolly the LP 5.1

Try...SGS Touchscreen Booster - Google Play Store
I have run into this same problem with my Verizon G4 (VS986). Many of my taps have gone unrecognized.
I did find this.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/fix-touch-screen-registering-touches-t3128518

Okay, I was able to replicate my bug. It happens after playing a game and stops after some time. Turning autorotate back on and switching back and forth from landscape view fixed it.
Hey guys.
I was searching the forums for a fix that solves the phantom/ghost touches I'm getting frequently on my LG G4, H815 model.
Sorry for the long post but my case looks a little more complex than the ones I've been seen in here.
In my case, that's how it happens:
I receive several multi-touches at the same time, usually when Data is enabled. Sometimes it starts right when I switch from Wi-Fi.
It happens often when I'm driving and using Location+Data as well, which drives me crazy. I does also happens (like another user mentioned in this thread) when scrolling down a feed (such as on Facebook) and it suddenly likes/shares a photo/post. It also drives me crazy! And there is also the case where it taps the keyboard and send crazy typos on chat apps when you are real-time texting someone! Another hassle is right after using the camera and opening the gallery to show someone the taken photo...it suddenly scrolls the gallery and open another photo. I just can't make it to see the taken pic. Therefore, I really wanna fix this so bad since it happens every time I need something right away.
A workaround that's been helping, though it's a pain:
I found that pressing the On/Off button and giving it a few seconds will return it to a normal state. The problem is when it happens while I'm driving and are supposed to take an exit/make a turn at the moment. There are some other cases where I'm into something and giving this few seconds is not an option.
Trying right now:
Someone suggested in this thread to use the SGS Touchscreen Booster. I'm giving it a try right now.
Important notes:
This issue has been happening since I got this phone on November, 2015. We got this 6.0 update recently and I was hoping that it would fix it. It didn't.
I have an after market screen protector that I applied in order to see if the issue would go away. It also didn't.
I have been searching about a digitizer replacement but I don't think is a hardware issue, since it just doesn't happens when I'm only on Wifi at home with Data disabled. I believe that the problem is the Data connection that triggers smth.
Any thoughts?
Does anyone have any idea or have experienced the same scenario before? Any thoughts on my guess of data enabling triggering the ghost touches?
Sorry for the long post and thank you so much for reading it.
I think it's both, its hardware and software, LG tried to fixed it but it makes it worst. You can solve the problem for few seconds putting your five fingers at the home menu, It goes crazy and after it stopped making ****. Anyway this phone is great but all the problems make it ****.
I am going to use this thread even though I think my problem is not as serious as yours are.
My problem is that touches are registered, but no action is taken.
For example. Quickly tapping on an icon on the home screen will highlight it, but it will not open the application. I enabled the option in Developer mode to display the touches and the touch is registered. It's just that the app will not load. If I click for a tad longer - it loads. Happens on both stock Launcher and Action Launcher. I have not noticed it happening outside the launcher.
I read something about a keyboard update, but in the Update Center I don't have anything related to the keyboard.
The icons I see it happening with are located in the lower part of the screen.
I am almost sure that this is a software problem, but several updates have not fixed it. Currently on v20d.
Any suggestions or ideas?
After a few more testing and monitoring, I found out that the ghost touches only take place when I'm on LTE.
And even more weird, while driving through some specific areas when I'm commuting.
It's just so weird to think that some towers may send a LTE signal that may cause the ghost touches.
At home, at work, wifi or data, it doesn't happen.
Hi there,
So I finally got my beautiful panda Pixel 2 XL and I absolutely love it, except for one thing - touch latency or sensitivity.
UPDATE
If you're having similar issues, be sure to "+1" the following thread on Google forum and also comment: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/phone-by-google/3XDqX3LgpvQ;context-place=topicsearchin/phone-by-google/category$3Agoogle-pixel-2%7Csort:relevance%7Cspell:false
I took off the glass screen protector and I'm now using it naked. I feel some improvement BUT this is still far from perfect. I was expecting such phone coming straight from Google to blow me away in terms of touch latency and such, but for now it feels like my Oneplus 3 is actually more responsive. Super strange.
I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but basically I feel like I'm having a hard time registering a touch on the first try TOO OFTEN. Sometimes I would even try to scroll up or down a web page and it wouldn't register for a few tries.
Things to note I'm NOT using the screen naked, I'm rocking an AmFilm tempered glass screen protector, it's a dot matrix kind of screen protector, one that doesn't actually stick to the screen entirely, only at the edges. Could this be the issue?
Is anyone else having similar issues with or without a screen protector?
Again, other than that, the device is perfect. Also very minimal blue shift that doesn't bother me at all.
Thanks for your help

I know it's silly, but I don't want to take off the screen protector because I got it aligned perfectly and the only replacement I have is a different type - a tpu film.
The thing is, I didn't even have a chance to try out the phone without a protector since this was the first thing I did when I unboxed it :/
Was mainly wondering if anyone else is having touch screen issues with a tempered glass screen protector of any kind?

Yep, I'm on the stable 8.1 all stock not rooted or anything.
This is mostly apparent when scrolling, I would sometimes scroll down and the page would move downward and sideways altogether, as if it is registered as a swipe to the side with a scroll down. Same when scrolling up. Very annoying.

Same problem after the 8.1 update answering a call is so hard. even unlocking my phone with a swipe up is very difficult. Swiping away notification takes 3 tries. I'm actually regretting the 128gb with google protect! So much money with so many problems. I came from a GS7 edge and it was way better performance wise then this phone. Feels like I'm just a beta tester for google. Seems like every update fixes one thing and breaks 4 more.

Agreed. I actually miss my Oneplus 3 in terms of performance and fluidity. I can't type or browse with this phone without having weird glitches. Sometimes the tap wouldn't register, sometimes it's the scrolling acting up.. Very annoying as I said
I'm having similar issues. Randomly my phone decides I touched somewhere in the middle of the screen I didn't at all, or when scrolling down a list eg. YouTube or Twitter, it suddenly jumps me back to the top as if I swiped down at super human speed.
More over the most consistent issues I'm having is tapping on the edge. Eg. The elipsis (3 vertical dots) when looking at 'my channel' or a playlist such as my attached screenshot. I cannot touch the elipsis at all even with a stylist.
My device is Google Pixel 2 XL, 8.1.0, build OPM 1.171019.011
P.S I'm using the phone 'naked', no case, no screen protector.
Damn. Looks like we've got an actual issue here.
For me it is most consistent when I'm scrolling up or down a list that can also go sideways, like Instagram Stories stickers for example, or an email on Gmail where you can swipe left to get to the next message. It will randomly go right/left when I'm actually swiping up/down.
It also happens to me, sometimes, while scrolling up or down, 5 or 6 times successively, it doesn't recognizes one of the touches.

Nimrodiny, would you mind trying to go on the YouTube app, and either on your 'my channel' list or a playlist try to tap on the ellipse?
It's completely impossible for me, every time either nothing happens or it decides I touched the video itself to play it. I'd like to know if my issue is not unique.
Addendum: I tried viewing this page in desktop view mode in Chrome and zoomed in. I was able to scroll up and down over and over without any side scrolling happening at least.
I have noticed sometimes it freezes when loadng a web page thought it was chrome but updated to the beta.
Same effect, something is off with the touch sensitivity but not always.

Yep. I can definitely tap on the ellipse on YouTube via my channel.
BTW, just made a scrolling comparison - same website, same browser, on my Pixel 2 XL vs the OP3 and... The OP3 absolutely killed it. It was way smoother and never stuttered while the Pixel had tons of stutters and misreading of my swipes
Thanks for testing Nimrodiny. In that case I best go back to the store and exchange my phone, as edge tapping is definitely broken for me.
Ya. Happens to me.. not acurate touch.. try touching that 3 dots on YouTube app on full screen ( where u change resolution of youtube play back)
Ufff fed up with this.. display, speaker, touch.. how many more
I came from OnePlus 3 n got panda pixel 2 xl. I faced some touch sensitive issue while typing n sometimes browsing. M using my pixel with iq shield screen protector film. I did a factory reset it did helped with swipe issues to some extent. Also I disabled vibration n sound for touch and feel bit better while typing. Mostly while typing I had hard time pressing space bar , most of the time I had to press twice to register a space. lts like phone is unable to keep up with my typing speed(m not that fast though). It doesn't feel like using a flagship phone . I would say touch is good but definitely not great.
Other than that I face no display issues like screen burn in or weird sound issues . Ya blue tint is there but it's part of the display not an issue.
I would suggest try factory reset once n disable sound and vibration on touch and see if it does help some how.
Been using the phone for the last 12 hours and I noticed something towards the end of my use last night.
The screen seemed to become unresponsive. And when it would work it would start to make its own input when scrolling and opening any app or link my finger would drag over while scrolling.
Changed refresh rates, changed resolutions, even seen if the blue light filter was the issue. Nothing.
Almost seems like the screen drops frames when scrolling, like it gets caught on something.
New development. Fingerprint sensor doesn't respond at all and inputting a pattern is damn near impossible. Going to try removing the screen protector to see if that could also be the issue
Did a factory reset
Issue seems to be where the finger print scanner is
It's almost like a dead or unresponsive zone.
Sounds like a factory defect, better have it replaced if resetting didn't worked.
Small video showing when scrolling over the fingerprint reader, the screen almost loses input
Defect.
Samsung has been little help lol. They want me to send it in for repair instead of an exchange. They also said to just order a whole new one and return the one I have now except the black 128 is sold out

one of the first things i did to trouble shoot. still having the issue. sometimes the screen completely loses all touch registration and it doesnt even know im trying to swipe or push on things. just realized it did this also after tmobiles new software update.
im still waiting here to hear back from samsung on how they are going to fix this issue
The same thing happens to me. Pulling down the notification shade seems to be the only thing that still works. It seems to goose the phone and it starts working again.
Test using the *#0*# diagnostic menu and use the Touch test.

No major issues for me thankfully. Only minor ones I've experienced is that the "1" and "0" keys on the keyboard have a small delay before they appear. I'm guessing edge detection is a little aggressive to make sure I wanted to tap those keys?
And taking video sometimes has this weird wobble effect in the video with occasional brightness flickering on walls for instance.
Other than this, everything is great. It will be fixed in software updates. I still haven't downloaded the latest one which said it improved video so maybe this is already solved.
I have not had any problems. Not sure if matters but I always set the phone from scratch, no copy apps or backups. The most I do is export settings and import setting for some apps.
For me, it has proven to avoid a lot of "weird" things...
Not sure if this is the same issue OP is having but I've noticed since day 1 that there is a noticeable delay when pressing or long pressing the keys on the edge of the keyboard. For example, there's about a split second to full second delay when pressing the backspace key. So that means, I have to wait for that delay and then wait again for the original delay if I want to delete whole words at once. It is super frustrating.
I did some testing to see if maybe it's because I'm using gestures and the delay may be caused by the phone detecting the edge touch and waiting for a swipe inward to go back, but that's not the case as it happens with the button navigations too.
Looks like my issue is known and has been around for a while, even though it was not present in my OP7 Pro as of last week when I switch to the 9 Pro.

I've been using SwiftKey and haven't had any issues at all. It's the opposite actually, typing feels very fast and smooth, keyboard always appears instantly and the haptics when typing are very satisfying. Hope it gets fixed for you guys.

Glad to know it doesn't seem to be a universal thing, thanks for letting us know. I'm hesitant to restore to factory settings due to the time it'll take to get everything set up again, but I may have to bite the bullet soon.

Have any of you experienced a lag in the keyboard popping up in some situations. I'm using gboard on the latest update and it's so annoying I have to wait for the keyboard to come up

I've never once encountered the problem you're referring to.
I Use gboard beta (this is better anyway because it has all the cutting edge sh1t), and turn off all system animations.
Problem fixed. You're welcome.
Update: This problem seems to have went away after the latest update

Sadly I can't update just yet as the install fails, likely due to me flashing the EU boot image on my global variant. When I update I hope my issue is fixed. I also just realized that my issue is a tad bit different than OP's. I decided to make a short video for you all to see, link at the bottom.
I started typing in the center of the keyboard so you can see how quick and responsive it is. Then I go to the edges and you'll see there's like a full second delay until the phone picks up the touch for the key. For the scrolling, I tested along the entire edge and it was the same which leads me to believe my issue is not a keyboard typing issue, but a full screen edge touch delay detection issue. You'll see that when I start the scrolling in the center of the screen, it's quick and smooth. When starting the scroll from the edge of the screen, it initially jumps before scrolling smoothly.
I swear it almost feels like the phone detects the touch on the edge but does not register it right away and instead waits a second to see if I will then slide in from the edge to go back since I'm using gestures. But I tried using the button navigation instead of gesture and the delay is still there so idk at this point. I can confirm that this issue never happened on the OP7 Pro that I'm coming from.

Same here. The 1 and 0 keys have a delay. I assume this has to do with edge touch rejection and it's be nice to have some settings to change this behavior, like Samsung has done (if that is the issue). Could be gestures as well with the OS wondering if you'll do a gesture, but it should not be this much of a delay. It is annoying for sure.

I'm pretty sure it's due to the gestures. I just tested it on my regular 9, same problem, it takes a fraction of a second to realize I'm scrolling and not trying to do a gesture if I'm at the edge of the screen. Does it happen with button navigation?
