I had an issue pop up about 5 days ago that I haven't been able to find any help about so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. When touching the top of my screen from about mid-screen all the way to the left edge half the time it won't recognize my input now. The status bar still expands so the issue is starting right below that. Alot of times when I am trying to use a back button on the top left corner or type an address into the web browser etc the screen will not register my touch at all. Maybe 1 out of 30 taps it will work but this is baffling me. I have tried fresh rom installs and switching keyboards/apps but that doesn't do anything. Could it be screen calibration or the screen going bad?
the easiest way I can explain this issue and consistently replicate it is if I take an app on the home screen and long press and try to drag it to the "remove" trashcan, about the time I get to the trash can the app will jump above the trashcan.

Hi guys,
I am experiencing something really annoying. Many times when I press the left arrow (the one that opens the menu with all apps) the Status bar drops down. This is not all: sometimes when I hit an app to open or even when I try to type something, the Status bar drops down... Could it be a screen calibration issue? Any1 experiencing the same?
Thanks.
I've noticed the same thing occasionally, but I came to the conclusion that it was my thumb or finger wrapped around the back if the screen holding the phone just touching the top corner/edge of the screen, causing the notification area to pop downwards!
Have a fiddle around using the phone and if it happens again look closely where your fingers are

stop holding it like it's an iPhone seriously, your left thumb is bumping into the status bar. knock it off...
I hate the iphone. Very very much. So I wont ever do anything iphone like. I thought it might be my thumb but still.. Touch is better on galaxy s unfortunately. But that phone is worth as a whole.
Hi I was using the note 2 for couple of days and I keep seeing some problem with selecting or touching from screen.
First I notice this when I was scrolling from folder to folder in gallery. Whenever I try to scroll down, it went back up. This was solved when I go out and clear the ram, however, it will start happening again after little while.
Second time that I notice was when I'm trying to scroll within the contact list using the alphabet list on the side. It will be fine for two or three time but after that when I try to glide up and down, it is keep highlighting the "#" and does not scroll around. I need to restart the phone to make this work again.
Does anyone have same problems? And is there a way to fix this? I'm using root stock with wifi and extended notification bar mod.
Hi Guys,
I think this has been already asked before but i did not a get a perfect solution for this, i brought a the Note 2 and i tried using the s Pen and found that when even not touching the screen in the apps/home screen if i scroll left and right it scrolled the page just like that, i did not even touch the screen for it and it worked to scroll the pages just like that with 2 cms away from the screen and the next day when i try to hover it, its not working like that, it asks me to touch the screen in order to scroll the pages or hover it to the corner of the screen to show the arrow mark where it scrolls (even here i don't have to touch it), i saw lots of videos , and everyone are trying to touch the screen and move it, and as everyone said , we need change that potentiometer and things, even i tried that and its not working. please clarify me, will i be able to swipe screens left and right without touching it, like before, or its a setting i have changed or i have a issue with S pen, i am totally confused, help me out guys.Thanks in Advance.:crying:
My watch was working perfectly before the 5.1.1 update, but ever since the update, it is slow to wake, unable to swipe away cards from the watch face without opening them, the touch sensitivity is TERRIBLE....have to swipe over and over to get it to register, and for notifications I am unable to select "ALL"...can only select "priority" and "none".
Is anyone else having these problems?
5.1.1 problems are being discussed here if you're not aware:

No problem in starting a new thread, though.

I noticed that the touch screen seems derpy to me too. Something is definitely weird with the toggle shade thingy. I'm having the same problem with selecting "all". You can get it, but you have to find the exact spot below and to the left and tap frantically like a dozen times. I reccomend using the test app in developer settings and open the touch test. It will display a small grid and it will trace all your touches. Don't worry if it says fail. Just notice whether or not its tracking your finger. To get it to pass you have to turn the lines green by swiping in a certain direction. Mine tracks perfectly so, for me at least, the hardware is fine. Definitely a software issue.

Yesterday I installed the Android M preview on my phone, and so I had to do a reset on my watch. Now all of the touchscreen wonkiness has gone away, and it's working fine!
Before I was unable to get the app list to appear by swiping from the right, but only by tapping once. Also, I couldn't swipe in the center of the screen in the mode selector shade, but only above or below the row of icons. Now that's all working as well.
Hello,
Sorry if this has been covered else where. I found stuff that was similar but not quite the same.
I am having an issue with Pixel 2 XL where the touches will not track over the navigation bar. If you tap on the navbar, the touch is forced to the top or bottom depending on if you tap is closer to the top or bottom respectively. If it's pushed to the bottom, it works OK, but taps forced to the top trigger the search bar.
When dragging down, the navbar essentially blocks the drag, then a second tap registers below the bar as you pass over it. Since you're at the end of your drag at this point, you lift your finger and the second tap registers as a button press. This results in accidentally tapping the nav bar buttons when you are just dragging down.
I played with it so much that I found if you get just the right spot you'll, end up with two active tap-spots. If I drag rapidly across the nav bar for like 10-30 seconds, it will return to normal, but the phone gets a bit freezy, and seizes up randomly for 3 to 10 seconds at time. After a while it seems to return to normal.
I have also experienced the "screen freezes for a bit, then suddenly registers 100 taps" issue. I'm not sure if they are related. If anyone has insight into this issue as well, i'd love to hear it.
Is anyone else having these issues? I have a video but I'm not allowed to post outside links.
Thanks very much

I tried to replicate what your talking about. However, I couldn't do it. Maybe because I'm using Nova launcher, which may be a viable option for you. A factory reset might be helpful, however, we all know how much fun that ISN'T! Definitely an interesting issue your having. Then again, I think these devices have a mind of their own at times ?
Thanks for your reply. Forgot to mention, I have tried safe mode and done a factory reset and it did not remove the issue. It seems after a factory reset you are still on Oreo 8.1, so I'm not able to confirm it the issue exists in 8.0. I also have tried Nova Launcher.
