I just got the phone 3 days ago... Today, a glass screen protector came in and I installed it. Of course, I messed up the first time, so I had to clean the screen and the protector since there was dust. There wasn't anything unusual in the installation, I just installed it as I did to my one plus. There wasn't an excess of water or anything. After the installation, the sensitivity was awesome, everything was great and worked great. An hour later, when I needed to use the phone, the sensitivity was lacking and eventually the phone started tapping by itself. I'm not sure what the issue is, but I proceeded with a factory reset believing it was the hardware since my oneplus never had this issue. After I reset, it still keeps auto tapping, and here I am now.
Thanks in advanced!

did you already tried to remove the glass screen protector?
Were you able to find a solution? It's happening with me too!

My phone has been going great and giving no issues. Byt the other evening suddenly the toicuh screen stopped being responsive!!! Totally randomly. No drop or spil or anythign like that, no new software or roms recently.
When you open it the keyboard still lights up, and after a hard reset, you can navigate a bit using the keys. But ZERO response from the screen!!!
As i say, this is even with a hard reset!!! I also tried using masking tip to pressure the screen in case somethign was stuck.
Ok it mighty be the digitiser, or a loose connection. Im hoping not.
Has anyone experienced this or similar and is tehre anythign else i can try before i take the plunge and get someone to look at it??? (its out of warranty unfort)
Ouch
Sorry to hear. It happened to me months back. It started with very uncalibrated clicks... making corner clicking impossible to compensate for.
I've recompensated, but that didn't last long - and it eventually degraded to no touch screen. With insurance, I did get a refurbish for my woes.
I flashed Stock ROM and relocked. No luck.
I'd still back up everything.
Reformat SD card.
Reflash stock ROM
Relock the device - all to see if it helps.
I did have a similar recent problem - but in this case it's because I was using a clip on hard case front that must've been putting pressure on the touch screen.
Hopefully one of these helps you out. Good luck
When my screen stopped responding it was due to a more physical thing.
I read this somewhere and tried it, worked instantly!
You have to get your finger nail under the screen (try pushing your nail into the edge of the screen from the side) and lift the screen up a bit.
This worked for me. If you think its a physical and not software issue give it a shot.
I have had the same problem.
I bought new touch screen on ebay (about $15) and after replacement the device works well.
stop everything !!!!!
if you have Google G Mail set up on your phone remove it and it will fix it's self
somthing google / G mail is doing the tilt 2 doesn't like
causing the "Sleep Of Death"
Hi guys

Last resort is i got sprite backyup to work
BUT HOW THE HELL DO YOU HIT "NEXT" OR "OK" FROM THE KEYBOARD AS SCREEN DOESNT WORK????

Below is one more post on this topic from another forum:

It's actually very simple to fix - slide a finger nail under the plastic by the speaker and gently pry the digitizer up. Then, put it back. You dont need to remove it totally from the phone. It will flex back to its flat shape as soon as the glue releases. As soon as you stick it back down, the touch screen will work again.
I had the same problems with multi touch as others have stated before, I also posted this fix in the other thread but that one turned out to be more about the wifi issues which I do not have.
About a week ago I installed the Rootzboat ROM on my phone, and after that my multi touch issues went away. I could now play shooting games! But, at the same time I also put an otterbox case on it and didn't think anything of it. Yesterday i took the case off while I was playing a game and the issues reappeared--I could no longer use both the right and left corners for input. I turned the screen off and put the case back on, the issue disappeared once again. So, if you're having the problem try putting an otterbox or some other thick screen protector and case on it.
I think the solution comes from the thick plastic screen protector which comes attached to the case (and is not actually applied to the screen) is lowering the capacitance readings for the phone (probably because of the distance). So the solution may lie in the driver software. Anyways just my 2 cents.
posted this on op3t QA forum but figured i post it here too since I am desperate for ideas
Bought my One Plus 3t almost 14 days ago.
I am running latest freedom rom with xceed kernel.
This annoyance has kept going on intermittently. I noticed it when I'm on calls , but it still happens when I'm not.
I'll turn on the screen, use fingerprint, it unlocks phone, soft buttons work and UI responds, but the screen itself, won't respond to any of my touches. If i turn the screen off and on twice, it will begin responding.
WTH right?
Edit, def happens when i'm on a phone call way more, just happened twice while on the phone with OPO. could it be my glass screen protector?
sounds like your device may be defective, contact support for rma.

Easy way to check that prior to an RMA. Remove it and check. What brand protector?

No glare and no bubble in the middle.
I flashed an updated kernel and it hasn't happened since, so i'll continue testing it and if need be ill roll all the way back to stock and test it there for a few days
Have been using this phone as a backup phone for a while and now I'm gonna give it to my grandfather. Since he is 79 years old, a bit careless, I purchased a screen protector.
It's the typical 0.3mm shatter proof 9h but the problem is: I can barely pull the notification bar and the phone just feel like not responding at all.
You must press harder on the screen, at times with two fingers running down the screen to pull the notifications, typing is a nightmare. Since it completely lost the sensitivity, it feels like the phone is slow or freezing up but it's not the case. I'm pretty sure if I take the screen protector off it comes back to normal. Funny enough, if you run a touchscreen test, it works just fine by just lightly touching it.
The touchscreen is awesome without it, I used to play some minor games on this phone. It was my daily phone for walking and listening to music, I switched back to my Nokia 930 because I don't think my grandpa would be able to use a Windows Phone lol.
Has anyone experienced this kind of issue before? Don't think the phone will last long naked just like his Moto G4. (two weeks with a shattered screen then completely dead)
Should I purchase another screen protector?

Pull that dammm protector off
Anyone having touch sensitivity issues or weird touch problems on their cover screen?
I do have the Spigen tempered glass protector installed on it so I'm not sure if that's the issue or if it's the phone itself.
Speed Test https://vidmate.bid/
I turned up touch sensitivity in the settings and that's helped a little but it still misbehaves sometimes. Like it will scroll when I'm trying to tap and vice versa.
Wondering if anyone else has had problems (with or without screen protector)
You sir, are superfluously creating a new thread.
Touch/tap problems
I'm having problems with my Fold 4 not registering taps. I tap a space on the screen and nothing happens. I do it several more times, and finally it responds. I haven't seen a clear pattern yet, because it's somewhat intermittent. Has anyone else...
forum.xda-developers.com
My wife and i we both pre-ordered the Samsung Fold 4 and we both got the same issues that guys described.
We contacted Samsung over the phone... Is it only me but even if i'm full of compassion their customer support is awful? So many calls, they connected to our phones with Samsung Tutor... And no clear help or explanation after hours wasted. I even tried speaking with them in 2 languages and i'm completely lost.
Anyway that aside, we are thinking of just returning both of them for good. Such a waste, aside from that i like pretty much all the rest... The crease some people don't like i can live with it. And even all that cluttering with those Samsung Apps they always have (i prefer Google Apps but oh well), i can also live with it all...
But not being able to use the screen properly? That's too much for such an high priced device.
If you guys have ideas, i'm all open, but tomorrow i think we'll return them. Because like i read here it still looks like especially the outer layer has problems.
If it helps anyone, here's what we tried:
-I never copy from one phone to a other. Clean start everytime. And cloud storage.
-We both did a factory reset after noticing all that.
-Both tried safe mode.
-Both erased the cache clean and both tried the repair app in the system (while restarting the phone, hold power and volume up).
-Both put the sensitivity higher at first. No other screen protector than the thing the put on the big screen.
-Went to accessibility and reduced the touch from 0.5 to 0.3 seconds...
Honestly i'm not sure i can do more than think they screwed up. Not sure many would try more than that. It supposed to work out of the box. Good luck everyone. I'm curious if anyone has more.
Applied the screen protector as u but i dont seem to have any touch issues apart from the screen itself to be small and unable to type on it without mistakes
