I've just picked up a One X and have noticed that there is a 'circle' overlaid where ever your finger is detected on the screen.
This is kind of OK, but I've noticed that rapid dragging in the webbrowser and other programs seems to stutter when this animation is decaying, so I wonder if there is a way to stop it drawing this?
I've looked around, searched, googled, looked at the myriad of options on the phone, but to no avail..
Try going into settings then developer options and untick the options at the bottom

Thanks! That was exactly it!
And happy to report it did indeed stop the slight stuttering in the browser.

A year and half later but thanks! I most have been monkeying around and checked the show touches selection. It was bugging the crap out of me. Not sure how I missed not unchecking it that last few times when I have scoured my settings to get rid of it, but my sanity has now been restored!

Hi all. I've been busy playing with my new toy now for a few weeks and love it.
One thing I have seen happen on a few occasions, but cannot find any details of, is when I am using the browser and flicking the page up gently as I am reading, it takes off at super speed on it's own and scrolls right to the bottom as if on auto pilot!!
Is this an actual "feature"?
I have tried to reproduce it, but I just cannot find how
Then when I am least expecting it, I give the screen a gentle flick, and away it goes again!!
Haha, yeah... it happens when you are scrolling in a direction and suddenly stop keeping the screen touched down on. Let it go and whoosh! You have to quickly press+hold the screen and move it a little in the opposite direction to make that stop or it continues. Can be very annoying at times, but very helpful to me at times too. It's that repeatable for me that it almost sounds like an intentional feature. IDK though.

Hello, I'm hoping someone can give me a little advice.
I have had a One X for approximately 1 week or so and have been loving it. Aside from running a little hot whilst playing not especially taxing games I really like it.
Tonight, I have noticed something strange happening. Occasionally whilst I am doing something on the phone (randomly eg. clicking through a menu or reading an sms) a red box will flash up around the exterior of the screen. The phone will do this for a split second or so and then repeat if I swipe.
I am on version 1.28.401.9, unlocked CPW on T-Mobile. Can anyone tell me if this is something I've set in a menu somewhere or if this is a sign I need to swap my phone for a new one ? Common occurrence or user error ?!
Thank you
Go to Settings>Developer Options then untick "Strick mode enabled".
Should sort it
Might need a reboot.
OMG is it that really ?! I was messing around in the developer options, checked that box and unchecked it. I haven't rebooted since then so it could well be that.
Nothing to see here ahaha ! Thanks for the reply

is anyone familiar with the problem and has an idea what should we do?
PLEASE HELPPP

(I'm the one who have the problem..)
Hi,
My original HOX had this issue along with a battery over heating issue. I thought the screen probel was due to the battery getting to hot. I have since swapped it out and the new one does not have the above issue. However I now have screen flex issue
I also have this problem but a lot worse it happens atleast 20times a day it seems to start when using the HTC browser while viewing flash websites like call of duty .com when screen starts to mess up the keyboard does not load correctly if you press the opitions button at top of browser it either flicker and pixels all over drop down menu to the point that you can not see the menu if I try to watch a YouTube video when this happens I get horrible green pixel covering half the screen and flickers constantly I tried to take screenshots but when viewing them they were normal no pixels shown i also need help please should I return the handset or is it a fixable bug?

Should these problems have been fixed by applying OTA update?
It seems that the stock browser cause this.
Is anyone else having issues with what appears to be dead areas when scrolling, swipe texting or otherwise using your phone? In typing this message the phone just lost my finger on 4 occasions. When scrolling webpages it often just stops and clicks an area where my finger was. I'll get occasional double clicking on things when I do try to click. I have trouble purposely replicating my problems but in regular us it is driving me nuts. Because I can't constantly replicate I'm not sure trying to take the phone back will be successful. Anyone else having issues? Could there be something I'm missing somewhere?
Sounds kind of mean but I hope your issue is isolated. I saw the ifixit teardown and the ease with how the digitizer came off of the glass has me worried about the longevity of the digitizer.
Happening to me insanely often on my regular Pixel.
This happens to me occasionally. Sometimes, when typing it spams v and b. If I find anything I will fill you in.
Yes, I'm having this problem with my Pixel. It happens across all apps, even in Settings. Generally it happens if I start scrolling after not touching the screen for a little while.. for example when reading a news article. The scrolling freezes, and I can move my finger around on the screen and it doesn't react, but then it might pick up my finger again and the screen jumps around or clicks on something even though I've not lifted my finger from the screen. I tested it in safe mode and it happens there also. I even got my original device exchanged, and the same thing happened immediately on the new phone. I've been in touch with Google Help this morning and they've confirmed it's a software issue. They've asked me to submit a bug report. It'll help them if more people report the bug though and they have more data to fix it, so if you're experiencing the same issue, please report it! You can chat directly to Google support through settings on your Pixel.
Haven't had any issues but I know the google keyboard can be a bit glitchy at times. I used to have a nexus 6P and I would get weird issues with that keyboard as well on that phone. Getting them less on my Pixel though.
Having issues with typing on my 6P, it's so odd as sometimes I can not type when in desktop mode and sometimes not when in mobile. Switching the webpage screen mode and also doing a soft shut off on the phone and coming back both fix it temporarily. Thought at first using a different keyboard app might help but what app it runs does not solve the problem.
Same problem here. Google pixel
Happening to me as well. Did a factory image flash and it seems to have helped but still happens once in a while. I notice it the most when I'm using reddit sync. Seems to just happen too frequently.
Just an update on this... After doing a few steps suggested by google tech support like, test on safe mode, factory reset using bootloader method, etc... They just replaced my unit. I'm using a new one today and problem is not existent now. I would assume the problem would be hardware.
To be honest, I'm quite happy with their tech support...24/7 support and the staff are really competent. This in my opinion, is worth the high price of the pixel. Good job google!
I have the standard Pixel, and I too had issues with typing (occasionally wrong letters or spaces would register), and dead areas in the top corners of my screen when trying to open apps. I was going to return it one day after confirming that the dead areas at the top of the screen were persistent, but for some reason I decided to grab an App from the bottom of the screen and move it by sliding to the top area. Instantly this cured the dead area issue, even after I moved the app back to the bottom of the screen. It's as if it recalibrated the touch sensitivity vertically as it stopped erroneous spaces when typing too.
Pixel 2 one handed thumb scrolling issue
I have the pixel 2 and I have intermittent scrolling issues when I hold it one handed and try to scroll with my thumb. I realized it's because the base of my thumb is brushing the opposite side of the screen and preventing it from scrolling freely.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should probably post about that in the Pixel 2 forums.
My Nexus 7 2013 model has some touchscreen issues. It's like the touchscreen craps out for a split second. when dragging icons from one home screen to another when i try to go to the edge of the screen to switch to the next screen it drops it on the side of that screen or the next one pushing another icon out of the way. then i have to move it again and move the other icon back only to have it happen again to the next home screen. always had this problem. also when typing it registers each letter multiple times so it looks like this: hhhhii hhhoooww aarree youuu. or something to that effect. it's really annoying. i finally gave up and went my computer to Facebook message someone. and then swipe is all messed up and it gives off the wall words and stuff because it doesn't register which words i'm trying to spell out. Often when using a news app i try to click to play a news video and it doesn't register my clicks. also on the web browser it has trouble registering my key-presses or touch for links or numbers or arrows when advancing to the next page in forums or web-pages. If that makes any since. and when trying to zoom in or out on the T mobile map is screws up almost every time and zooms completely out. anyways i hope you get the picture. has anyone else have this problem? it's quite annoying. I've been wanting to post about it for the last year but thought it was just my fingers.
My touchscreen is borked too. I can't type any sh*t, overall the UX has been f***ed up due to these non-sense touchscreen issues. Tried all possible hardware fixes available on net. Teared down tablet piece-by-piece, still no luck :/ . Bought this beauty in 2014, worked fine till mid-2016. Now it's a crap. I still can't find any worthy tablet to replace this beast. Will never buy any Mobile device from ASUS.
I know. I've reset mine a few times but that didn't help. It's working fine at the moment as I'm typing with it right now. Seems intermittent.
