I apologize if there is any easy fix for this or if there's already a thread, but I just recently started having this issue for about a week. Sometimes, when I turn on the screen it will quickly light up to the lock screen, but then turn blank right after; before I even get a chance to unlock the phone. The capacative buttons will completely stay light up and when I press them they vibrate so I assume the screen is still active.
Is this a common issue and is there an easy fix? I'm running the latest CM7 nightly build 258. I don't think that's the issue though because I just upgraded it today and before I hadn't upgraded the Nighly Build ROM in a couple weeks. I upgraded it today just to see if there was something wrong with that build.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Restore your previous ROM save

Are you using a custom kernel. If so are you under / overclocking or over / undervolting?
Nope. I'm running whatever kernel comes with the ROM and no undervolting or overclocking either.
Anyone....?
Have you done a restore?
I would try wiping dalvik-cache and the cache partition. If that dosent work i would wipe everything and do a fresh install of a different rom to determine weather it is rom related or hardware related.
Few days earlier I started to notice this problem after 5 months of use of my device. My screen starts rapidly shaking left to right and front touch panel stop working, it happen when I freshly open an apps. To temporarily fixed it, I have to press power button to turn off the screen. Is it a hardware or software problem?
Did you flashed any rom or kernel?
Do you use trickster?
Some people sayed that uninstalling trickster solved their ghost touches on the keyboard (may not work in your case).
I had a similar problem and was because of a kernel.
If you had modified anything try to use stock for a while and see if the problem persist

Stock, I guess I should wait for official kitkat. Dont have time thinkering my fone atm.
I was ghosts touches on my screen. One was pressed on all sides. To fix it I had to turn off and turn on the screen. I decided to change the touchscreen and the problem was fixed. Now it works ok.
Sorry my english.

I bought it on ebay. Screen+touch+ frame. This option:
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=111278902215
But You can buy other options.
1. Touch + screen+ frame (medium dificult)
2. Touch + screen without frame (best option)
3. Only touch screen. (very dificult option)
Many people have told me that the best option is 2, without frame to not be taking off parts that are originally attached to the frame.
You can see totorials on youtube
Ghost Touch now keeps rapidly pulsing at the buttom edge of my screen (portrait) my phone is sometimes uncontrollable. I never thought this kind of newer high end device gets broken so easily under short period of time. I never experienced this from my good old Galaxy Y, Xperia mini and X8 that I accidentally deep under water even now still working in mint condition. So sad with LG products. I was planning to buy LG G Pad but because of this I probably get Nexus 7 instead.
Im going to sell this for $155
Reflash it again with stock firmware twice, problem still persist
Its now a hardware issue
Touch screen seems deteriorating overtime. At first Ghost Touch, then on the next day a dead touch portion just above the home screen panel where the ghost touch first occurred rapidly moving back and then after few days a ghost touch appeared again just below in the middle of the screen (portrait) then after an hour probably about 1.5mm size thickness dead touch. Now a I have 2 horizontal dead touch portion of my screen and probably more to come if I keep using it.
Few days ago i'v got first phaton/ghost touch problem. I used Omni 4.4.4 so
- reflash to clean OmniRom (try few kernels) - the same
- flash to Android L Preview - the same
.....
fu***
Install - ARTMod ROM so 99,9%of stock - and as for now all its ok.
Strange.
Update:
One day and zero problems.

Please, can you post the link from the exact same rom?
I've got so many ghost touches on an exact same point my screen (I posted that on another thread on this board) that made me got another phone, typing was impossible (the touches were on the left-down corner, right on swiftkey settings -_- )...I've tried many many roms, but nothing worked yet...
Thank you a lot!

OK, this is freakin' weird...
I have been running KitKat on my F180S pretty much from the time it got released (different versions: full stock, VDT, Sling...). Yesterday, out of the blue, my digitizer started getting crazy with ghost touches in the upper portion of the screen (around the strip where Q-slide apps usually are in the notification shade, or the clock area on a weather widget where most people have it). This made the phone 100% unusable, as it was constantly registering touches. Rebooted to recovery to do a factory reset, and the problem was persistent in the recovery, too (I am using PhilZ Touch). So, at that point it looked like a hardware issue to me. To clear my consciousness, I opened the phone, disconnected the digitizer, cleaned the connectors, plugged it in again. No dice. Still, I thought about reflashing a full stock KDZ, just for the heck of it (no root, no custom recovery, locked BL). Here is what happened:
1. F180S V30c KitKat - same problem.
2. F180S V30b KitKat (downgraded a notch) - same problem.
3. F180S V20n Jelly Bean - everything is working fine, no ghost touches. Huh?!?
4. Rooted V20n, unlocked BL (Mako method) and flashed CWM using FreeGee - no problem, everything is still OK.
5. Flashed my favourite JB ROM - no problem, everything is still OK.
So, the phone is now running on rooted JB, with unlocked BL and CWM recovery, with no touchscreen problems whatsoever. I may try going to KK again at some point, but will just leave it for now, as I need a stable working phone.
WTF??? I am just scratching my head, trying to understand where the issue came from. It appears to be directly related to KitKat, since eliminating unlocked BL and custom recovery didn't solve the issue, but going back to JB (either full stock, or unlocked BL with CWM) totally cured it. The most bizarre thing is that it started out of nowhere, as I didn't do anything to my phone recently, apart from installing some apps here and there...

Yeah... But at least in your case the problem seems to be consistent. I was using my phone without any issues, and then it just crapped out for no apparent reason. Nothing changed, same ROM that was working fine before...

It started the same way for me.
....
The same thing happened to me. Are you guys familiar with Sky Vega phones? I had a Vega Iron before and also it began having ghost touch issues after upgrading to kitkat. I was frustrated, i also flashed any custom rom i could search and no luck at all. I just sold it recently! and i heard this ghost touch issue is also a common on Nexus 4.

Hello everybody,
I have the same problem with my LG - ghost touch and dead zones on the display. First installed the ROM from this link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/opti...te-10-t2811342 , but the issue still exist.
Then change the display with a new one. Dead zones vanished but ghost touch doesn't. Tried some other ROMs even the original stock ROM.
When I installed the new display the ghost touch is mostly when I use Facebook Messenger.
What can I do in this situation?
I have the Chinese version of the Find 7 currently running MoKee 44.4 because I thought this issue was caused by AOSPA, which I flashed for the first time yesterday. Anyway when I make a call the screen turns off as it should and will not come back on no matter what I do. I have to reboot the phone every time. I looked through similar threads but they all seem to be unrelated to having a custom rom; this problem only started occurring after I flashed one & everything worked fine when I was running Color OS 2.0. I tried installing a new dialer but the same problem happened.
Does anyone know of a way not to have the screen turn off when making a call or better yet how to fix the issue?
Thanks very much!
I'm having a very similar situation with Paranoid Android 4.6 (both beta4 and latest beta6).
If I long-press home button, I'm sent back to the lock screen, but only after the call is finished.
Maybe there's a problem with AOSPA's proximity sensor during calls?
Sometimes, the screen will not turn off, but the screen will not react to any touch input during the call.
Power button will turn screen off but not back on again.
This is a problem coming from ColorOS 2.0.x.
I will try to flash back to and older version of ColorOS. After that try an AOSP rom.

same problem
Whit all rom use CM11 based or similar, I have black screen when I call, and no input possible!
the only ROM stable is the Kakulay, bet it have several problem whit the contacts management! it confuse the name and numbers in the memory and SIM card!
Hey all!
This is happening to me for 2 months now, I was running official 12.1CM and now official 13CM
I tried to also use some stock based rom but im pretty sure it happened there too.
Whats happening to me is that randomly throughout the day my phone's screen turns black and I cant reboot it by any home button combination, only by getting out the battery.
When this happens the phone just totally freezes and I cant get it to respond or make a sound.
I don't think that the phone dies because sometimes when its freezes I can still see the notification led blinking.
Does anyone know why this might happen? or where can i copy some logs that might help you guys figure it out?
Thanks in advance!
sounds like you have the sleep of death issue? Personally I haven't been on CM roms much on my G3 so I haven't really encountered this issue but on my previous phone I've encountered this a few times on CM.
EDIT: Though it shouldn't happen on stock are you sure it happens on stock as well?
I have this issue as well using the Exodus rom. I never had it while using a stock rom, so I think this is a cyanogenmod issue (Exodus is a CM based rom in 5.1).
I have the exact same issue with my vs985. Seems to happen the most when viewing any sort of video, but I have had it happen at other times as well. Pretty dang annoying, probably 3-4 times a day. Using CM 13.0-20151217-nightly-vs985 but it started when I first flashed CM. Never had the issue on stock rooted rom.
