It is my video, made a thread about it but couldn't link the video (needed 8 post)
The weird thing is that it works sometimes and sometimes like in the video. I am going to return the phone tomorrow, so sad it's a great phone.

Did you try a factory reset?

Yes have done that

Yep, same issue. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. While I'm playing a game and it doesn't work, i just press the power button and then press it again and unlock it and from then on it works flawlessly.

So I am not alone, what are you planning to do return it? I found one more on youtube that had this problem. It should be software related right?

Having no issues atall with mine that I can see, just tested it using 'phone tester' and it has no trouble recognising 10 touches which is way more than I could ever need it to do.

I hope the Galaxy Nexus doesn't have a flawed touchscreen like my Nexus One.

No issues here. Tested it with an app and it was able to recognize 10 simultaneous touches.

I had those issues too. It happened to me in Onlive app for the first time and then in some another game using two virtual sticks. I am almost sure it is software related (maybe some incompatibility with ICS) because I have just installed the multi touch tester from the marker and it is working flawlessly (10 recognized touches).
I think it could happened to every Gnex user from time to time, it is just a matter of time.

When you have these issues in games try the multitouch tester, I think you will get like me in the video then. I noticed it in games and after that I tried the multitouch tester. Have been able to play zombie age now without any problems.

That's what I was talking about. After using the multi touch tester and getting normal results, I am fairly confident it is the software bug in ICS or Gnex itself. I am not sure what is causing the bug to "activate" though.

I think I am going to wait now returning the phone now when so many seems to have the same problem

I saw this and my heart sank. As long as its working normally in several testing apps then I'm confident it isn't a hardware problem like the nexus one.
Probably able to touch up any bugs with an update.

Could also just be a compatibility issue with the game(s) itself and ICS

try testing it in your hand, and not on a surface.
does it still give you the same bug?

Deja vu. I'm on vacation and there's a lot of kids which have already managed to scratch my screen. Anyway, this same thing happened to me, I though one of the kids got water on it to cause it to happen. I ended up wiping it for like 30 minutes straight with a fiber cloth. Nothing was working I started crying and went to bed. When I woke up....yay.

Hey,
I would say to have a look inside it. I think that it is that digitizer that may be causing the issue. Make sure the connections are connected properly. If the device is still under warranty then get it returned and looked at. That isn't a software issue from what I can tell. There is also a chance that it could be that the screen needs recalibrating? Not sure on that one though

Problem solved....... did nothing......... just left it for a while and it was gone......

Someone kill me now.

Ok so, ever since the LI3 update, my auto correct is broken, i just upgraded to JB. STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. No one seems to beable to help me, samsung claimed it would be fixed next update which was JB and its still broken.. this only happened to some groups of people. I have an option to send it in for service but i use my phone for work. i cant give it up for a week of shipping+a week of it being worked on+a week of shipping back to me.. can someone please give me suggestions? ive formatted, ive factory reset in every form (from settings, keypad code, and hard button reset), ive wiped all settings, and all of that.. someone please try to help me out? D=
Im so tempted just to get a different phone even though i love it so much.. its so frustrating when you have an important conversation you have to reply quickly to, but cant because every letter you press shows up and doesnt auto correct into what you meant =/
(Yes the topic is just a harsh term)

I belive it HAS to be something that does not get wiped during a factory reset but idk what or how to access it.

Happens to me constantly. When I get annoyed with correcting myself I switch over to Swype temporarily but honestly have found NO fix for it on my end either.

When i swype is corrects but only when swyping =/ tapping on keys does NOTHING. Samsung is worthless in helping with this national issue, i just want to bang my head on a wall =( Im trying to trouble shoot it right now.. seeing if factory reset after jb install will fix it.. and keep my account unlinked from my phone with only stock apps and see what happens

and looks like bear bones is the same.. WHAT COULD IT BE!

Unsure but I am actually someone who htes downloading and installing third party apps in order to take the position of an already installed app except for browsers and occasionally Launchers. I personally love the Stock Samsung keyboard but just wish this feature worked and I would be in love.

On LG8 it worked perfectly fine for me =/ when LI3 hit and broke it.. only for some people. my younger brothers keyboard works fine and hes on LI3

Any chance of taking it back to the Sprint store and getting a replacement? I know chances are you won't get a NIB phone, proba refurb, but if it truly is a software glitch I don't see how they can't replace it. I also realize it's not the same as a phone not working at all, but they do promote unlimited texting and if there is something that is stopping that from happening, i.e. typing legibly, I would hope they would rectify it. I know the techs at my local store would bust their balls trying to get it fixed.

Ok, lets just entertain each other for a second. What do you have Selected in Auto Correction? Modest, Aggresive, Very Aggressive?

Umm idk what keyboard your using but the stock Samsung keyboard does not have any "strength" of auto correction. I have appropriate settings selected and tried all. This is in fact a 100% glitch.

Swift Key 3 <3
Once i upgraded to the Galaxy S3 i was immediately turned off by the Samsung stock keyboard. Then i found SwiftKey3, Ill never go back to a stock keyboard again. The predictive text is incredible. May be a paid app but its the best money you could spend on one.

Told you, you would love it. Remember your on ANDROID, If you don't like something, change it!
PS: i haven't had any problems in no service situations, works great that I've seen.

Not sure if my Samsung keyboard is working right or not. I only use swiftkey and when I get bored I switch over to swype.

LG G4 Touch Screen issues. Ghost Touches?

I've been able to replicate this issue on my G4 (815T Australian model) on a daily basis, just on the instagram app though.
I recorded a video of it. Slowmo part shows the issue
https://goo.gl/photos/F823e125PQckCPLp6
The screen seems confused and it just scrolls the other way even if my thumb wasn't touching the screen.
Factory data reset did not fix anything.
Are you able to replicate this LG G4 owners?

I don't use Instagram, so can't help with that app, sorry.
But if you go into Developer Options, and turn on "Show touch data", it might help add some more info to the discussion. It will show a trace on the screen of what the phone's touchscreen interpreted from your last tap/swipe.
It would presumably show a swipe up, and then back down, when you're getting these ghost touches that change the scroll direction. But perhaps it could also help show if swipes are interpreted the same way in other apps. It might help you learn a little more about what the phone is seeing, at least.

Thanks for the video and everything but why a new thread? Plenty of videos on the main thread.
Is another thread really necessary?

Might be, because this only happens with IG. I've got the exact same problem, only with IG and its very annoying.

You can try to change the touch feedback time from short to medium under settings/accessibility/motor & cogination. This will reduce the touch feedback time. Give it a try, and see if it gets better.

Question, do you have Google keyboard installed? Because I just removed Google keyboard and installed SwiftKey and it looks like the problem is gone....

Nope, I use Swiftkey from the beginning. Only LG stock keyboard is installed.

Mm, I've got LG keyboard freezed with TB and after changing from Google keyboard to SK, the problem is gone

Interesting. Not keen on rooting though. =\
So you reckon it's just a software issue?

Well this problem is only related to the LG G4 and IG for me...I don't have any other touchscreen problems with this phone. So for me I guess this is not hardware related. During the day I just had 2 small "ghost touches", way better than before. Will see how it goes the next few days...
Edit :
after a view days, it looks like it didn't solve this issue. Today I notice the ghost touches were there again in IG

Force GPU rendening under Developer options somewhat helped.
The new v10f on my Australian G4 didn't fix the issue as well.

Any updates on this? I had same issue. N this is a replacement unit after 2.5 weeks of waiting
Just day one and this ghost touch come up.

I also have this problem
Did you solve the problem?

I am facing similar issue.between...i am not using ig.

I've had this issue as well (not just IG) and sent the phone back for servicing. It was sent back to me with a report showing that they'd done a few things but the problem is still there. I'd been thinking I'd send it back in once more and ask them to have another look. I'm getting ghost touches everywhere and quite a bit, it's very annoying.
Someone mentioned there was another, large thread about this issue but I can't seem to find it, can anyone point me to it?

Hi, I posted this in a new thread yesterday as I couldn't find anything. Never thought to search for 'ghost taps' duh.
Every now and then when just doing normal things on the my phone it totally freaks out and all by it self it suddenly starts to tap random parts of the desktop, slides the pages, opens apps, closes apps, goes into calculator and a bunch of buttons are pressed randomly. It's almost like someone has hacked my phone and is trolling me by just tapping randomly on the phone.
Just today when looking at Facebook it closed the app, scrolled down notifications, data was turned off and wifi turned on.
I thought it might have been my screeen protector, bit of moisture in it or something. Took that off and still does it. Took out the battery for a minute and still does it.
It happened a few months ago then nothing for ages and now it's started again this weekend.
Thought it might have been only when connected to data but has now done it when offline.
Any one got a solution? Does a custom rom fix?

Samsung galaxy A5 2017 issue with touch

I have a samsung galaxy A5 (2017), I've been having an issue where i can only hold my touch for about three seconds. I can do stuff but when I try to send voice texts and play games that requires continuous touch that's when it happens. Can't hold on for more than three seconds, it releases itself even tho I'm still touching the screen. Can anyone tell me what's happening? It would mean alot to me thank you so much I really appreciate it!

Check your TSP(touch screen) firmware.
Sometimes it can become mismatched. Phone and Parts should be the same.
If they are different then you can hit the update(general) button and it should fix it.
Use the following code in the dialler.
*#2663#

I've got the exact same issue on my A5. Did you find a solution?

I have the same issue. When i put my phone to charge it solves but out of charge 1, 10 or 20 minutes after same issue again begins
