[Q] Very sensitive touch screen + Proximity Sensor not working - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm having problem with extremely sensitive touch screen on my Z1C (D5503) device. it makes me to hit the wrong area of the screen by mistake.
even sometimes when i tap on an item (and release my finger), the item is still draged like my finger is still held on the screen! i have to touch the screen again to release the item!
touch works without actually touching the screen, from 1mm distance.
FYI Glove Mode is disabled.
-----------------------------------
2nd problem:
proximity sensor not working at all. in calls and whatsapp i tested it and not working.
Info:
D5503
14.5.A.0.242 stock + Root+ UnlockedBL + DualRecoveryByNUT

Try flashing new software. (make a clean install)
If it won't fix the problem, try this:

Will try and report back, thanks a lot.
I bought this device from a friend, is there a possibility touch hardware or lcd is replaced and is not original?

Yeah. Seems hardware related...FYI on an older phone I owned this kept happening after using an aftermarket charger...

Phantom or Ghost Touch Screen LG Optimus G

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.

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?

[problem] CM11 Black screen ISSUE {c1905}

Hello everyone. I've just installed few CM11-based roms (MIUI and AOKP) and noticed a strange thing. When I am just locking my phone and trying to unlock it after a while, screen doen's wake up. It just stays black and there is no reaction for power button. I have to reboot my phone by removing battery so that is really annoying. Stock was working fine, i hadn't notice anything like that. Anyone know the solution?

I found another solution i think. I just set up minimal CPU freq. over 400mhz and it's working fine. At least under the charger. You have to press it every single time or once and it's working fine then?
E: Without charger the same issue. Not solved.
I have the same problem and I think it has something to do with the proximity sensor.
Sounds interesting. Why do you think so?
Btw. I don't know why but I am happy that I am not alone with this problem.
Because:
Proximity Wake-Up support – prevent accidental wake-up of device by checking to see if proximity sensor is blocked (eg. Device is in a bag or pocket).

Touch issue

I am not sure if it is touch issue or display issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdMbbML9ECg Please have a look at this link.
The touch works for 2 seconds of screen on. Anyone having same issue? Please reply if anyone has fixed this issue.
same problem.
It's like the smartphone, after a 2 second make a check then blocks the touch.
I noticed that if I touch the screen before turning on the smartphone, the touch does not hang after 2 seconds but after more than 2 minutes.
I'm not sure it's a hardware problem; I still believe that it can be solved by preventing the above control.

Which ROM and Kernel are you using? Should be a kernel related issue, try flashing a different ROM or Kernel.

I had the same issue, and fixed it by removing the screen protector. Now the touch has been working since yesterday

I am also facing the same problem on my phone.
I tried discharging the phone completely and charging again.
I use the original charger only.
I'm running Pixel Experience ROM on stock kernel. This problem started a week after unlocking and rooting my phone. I also feel that it is not a hardware issue.
The problem started with the nav. buttons: The rest of the screen functioned properly but the nav buttons were unresponsive. A little later (a few hours), the entire screen responded to touch intermittently, and after that it responded only a few seconds after unlocking the phone (the above mentioned problem).
I am having a very tough time as this is my daily driver and I'm stuck.
Please Help. Thanks a lot in advance.

This is exactly what has happened to me too. It started with the nav. buttons and then the rest of the screen. Have you found out what is to be done?
Guyz try a cell ,u know those 1.5 v cells use them as the s pen im not joking it really works u just try once
No solution whatsoever!! I just cannot believe this is a hardware problem. My screen works (most of the time) for 2mins if I wake the screen up while touching it with one of my fingers, otherwise the screen works only for 2 secs.
This problem has been discussed in very few places although there are many people who are affected. Loosing hope.
Can I exchange this phone on Filpkart/Amazon in India?

Exactly how did you did that? Could you explain?
Broke a piezoelectric lighter and got the raw mechanism.
I made it discharge several times on the affected area while touching another area of the screen with another finger

Workaround
I tried one workaround indicated by someone else on another thread. Follow below steps
Press power button to put screen off
Hold phone in left hand and put left thumb on screen
Press power button to start screen
Touch with right hand fingers
It will work till left thumb is there on screen..
If touch is lost follow from step one
Atleast this helps alot instead of only 2-3secs stuff..
Thanks to one who indicated this workaround
Found a solution
Hi I was also facing this problem and I was ready to give up then I tried changing custom ROMs and when I installed the dot os v2.4,the problem disappeared and I was back to using the device normally
Hope this helps

Software issue. What setup are you running currently and what have you tried?
Thanks for your reply. I have formatted the phone twice, removed the tamper glass but nothing happens. problem is still there.Downloaded Oreo 8.0 Ver 5.0.2 and installed the software but still problem is there.I think there's problem with Oreo update.some times I can't restart or switch off the mobile because of touch problem.
Please find my details and help me.

Same thing only it is with the bottom 1cm of my screen, it is intermitent except directly above home button where the screen more often doesn't work then it does...
I enabled touch tracking and when it goes wild the dots show up going left-right for about 2-5s and then it calms down, except for example when I get into E&A game when I click on a part directly beside home button I see two dots "spliting" my touch into 2 dots maybe 0,5cm left and right, then it usualy goes haywire.
I use US version of DASH charger with EU adapter but seriously doubt that can be the problem, I'm not the only one having it obviously and it seems most of us got it thru Oxygen OS (well I just bought mine, used and updated, about a week ago so...) and I'm really anoyed by this, a 300€ used phone having such a CRIPLING BUG!!!!

Proximity sensor bug

After the update I'm having trouble with the proximity sensor. It stops suddenly. Usually when I put the smartphone in the pocket. It was perfect before 172 firmware. Anybody notice anything? Any tips? I have the EVRL29. I also made a factory reset.

Hey, you can use the APP that comes with your phone to check if the proximity sensor fails.
How to open it: HiCare-Service-Smart diagnosis-Auto
Good luck
Thanks, But everything's fine with the sensor as Hicare. I don't believe it's a hardware problem, but I don't know what I can do about the system.

Do you have a black screen when you are talking?
When the sensor is locked, no. Sometimes the screen turns black immediately when I get the phone call. That is, the sensor is locked. Passing the finger over the sensor a few times, it unlocks and goes back to work.
Having the same issue. I thought it was because of Drupe (am using it instead of default dialer). Weirdly, proximity sensor activates even before attending the call sometimes and am not able to do anything. Just let the call ring it out and then have to call back as even locking/unlocking doesnt work.
have upgraded to version 184 and the problem continues. I don't know what to do. Disappointment with Huawei

Are you using full cover tempered glass screen protector?
Unfortunately I'm not ?
I don't know if it is updated firmware bug or hardware failure. My friend's phone has this problem too, and even worse when dialing or listening to voice SMS in FB messenger, the screen was off until the voice finished. I thought it was full cover screen protector; however, it was not after I suggested him to take off the screen protector, and the problem still persisted. Anyway he told me there was not any problem before updating.

I'm not, and it's clean. It works until I put it in my pocket, then it gets stuck.
Today I realized one thing, if I touch the screen where the sensor is for more than 2 seconds, it hangs. If I stay near, it works ?

My friend just sold his mate 20x with proximity sensor error and bought a new one with the same firmware version 9.0.0.184. The new one worked functionally with its proximity sensor. I think that his previous mate 20x had proximity sensor hardware's problem, not dead but not functional.
Ich have the same issue with a P30 Pro New Edition. I hope it's a hardware issue and the replacement unit will be fine.
