G4 on ANDROID 6.0 Marshmallow but still getting touchscreen issues!? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys,
i recently got a G4 running version v10d which is one of the first version. v10d was not stable concerning touchscreen sensitivity.
I decided to update my G4 directly to Android 6.0 without installing v10h (the version that fixed touchscreen issues this summer) to fix these issues
I thought that android 6.0 contains all fixes from previous versions but i still have these issues..
Sometimes the screen is responding, sometimes not.
What am i supposed to do to get rid of these touchscreen issues?
Best

V20B or V20A are you using ?

yes only the touch screen cause it still shows the percentage of updates evolving for example.
but the touch screen become active and sensitive after a few seconds which is really annoying.

I already did a factory reset from v10h to v20a. But it didn't change anything even if it was supposed to be fixed in v10h already.
Do you have a link of v20b

hey m8 dont worry touchscreen misses and problems are still present at v20b i am on v20b since the first day it came out in germany and i got the same problem u face. i usually get it when i try to unlockmy screen using knock code. i dont know but i think its about the tempered glass. i think the screen just doesnt recognice ur taps on it while its off because some bad software optimizations. factory reset does not help trust me i did it 3 times and still got it. so its eather the tempered glass or any screen protector or some bug in software i think because ,my screen and urs hopefully too works flawlessly after unlocking the phone. maybe this will patched out

Thanks mate! Weird cause i had another G4 that didn't have this kind of problems!

You have tempered glass or not ? I still have this problem, I didn't have the problem with V10C but long time ago. I have V20A euro now, so the last one and this touchscreen problem.

i don't think so? i don't have anything on the screen

I have the same problem. Screen does not turn on.
Tapping does not help and power button does not work either.
The phone works as calls are received.
The problem lies in the light sensor.
If I keep the phone at a strong light source, it turns on.
The strange thing is that I have no problem with another rom.
I used CM13 and the problem was not there. Just get back to stock ROM and now the problem is back.
I wait until the in camera CM 13 is operational, then I go back to CM 13.
Edit:
I'm back to CM 13, camera working now.
Screen problems are gone, i'm happy now.

(Q) Touch screen doesn't respond after restart

Guys, i'm having problem with my xplay. After restarting my phone, the touch screen doesn't respond, but the gamepad act normally. To make it work, i have to shutdown the phone, n place off the battery for about an hour. Place the battery again, n the touchscreen will work again. It will work well as long as i don't restart the phone.
What do u think the problem guys?
I don't intend to bring my xplay to sony service center yet. Since it'll take my phone being serviced for a long time

Doesn't seem to be a problem with battery btw try replace the battery if you know anyone having xplay ! Btw did you update fw or anything before this problem started ? Or did it start all of a sudden at random ?

I don't think the problem came from the battery, n i'm "very lucky" that no one use this kind of phone around me, so i can't test other battery.
This happen about 2 weeks a go. I still use the stock rom, n never did the flashing or the update thing lately.
I just think that the problem came from its digitizer, but still not sure, since it still work well once the touch work after replacing the battery about an hour n i don't restart my phone.
I intend to replace the part that break my self, but really need to know which part it is. Got confused

Well digitizers can give you troubles but this looks like more of a glitch to me !
I repaired the rom via pc companion this afternoon. Had no luck, the problem still the same. N when the touchscreen didn't work, i plug the charger n strangely the phone restarted it self. After restart, touchscreen still didn't work. So i place the battery off for about an hour, n touchscreen worked again. Damn!

HTC One X Screen problem. Black/White/RGB like detuned TV

I can't think how to describe this, so haven't found another thread on here or on google, so have to post a picture.
It hasn't been dropped: When the Sleep Android app woke me up this morning I noticed that there was time-lag between my commands and the phone reacting. This was a bit annoying, but it seem to warm up and THEN it just FLIPPED RIGHT OUT. I have got it working again with a Soft Reset, but it's dodgy and keeps FLIPPING OUT every now and again.
Any idea what I can do?

No I haven't seen it before that's why its a hardware problem if it is a software problem I am sure you are not alone.
Tv gets detuned when it does not receives signal possibly your lcd is not receiving signals or your hox's hardware is not sending signals to lcd.

Also now there is a 5 second delay on commands. My dad rang earlier, I pressed accept call and it didn't react and it went to Voicemail.
Should i try a factory reset?

Becouse I have the same problem this is BFD(Blck Screen of Dead) The only one solution is to repleace the mainboard. If you have warranty go back to stock and relock bootlader and hope they will repear for free or wait until go so bad and the display stop working and they can't see your status on the bootlader. My phone start slowly to die until one day totaly dead and I am happy because before the dead I go back to stock and relock and they changed the phone after one month in service center with new one. I hope you have warranty. Good luck my friend.

Okay, also it's still laggy. Was that a problem with you?
I replaced the screen already, last year so that shouldn't be a problem.

Random (and ghostly) touches on screen

Hi guys!
I have a F180L (converted on a E975), my phone never fell from any distance, or had any kind of impact, BUT...Since I updated to last version o Carbom ROM, I've got a issue on my screen...
There are random touches on my down-left corner of the screen. It's completely random, while the charger is plugged, or not. But it only happens when an app is opened, while in homescreen (even on google now cards) everything is ok...
I've already flashed another rom, the AOKP Android L release 11, the problem still here...I installed a screen tester app, and this corner is not recognizing when I touch.
What can I do? Is there any kind of fix for it?
It's really annoying (mainly while typing)...
Thank you for any help!
I guess its time for a replacement.
Made some research on other forums and found some people with the same problem, but on other devices...On Nexus 4 and Xioami (mostly)...They solved this by replacing the battery...I'll try to do that this week...
But any other tip about can help...
it might be a kernel issue
if u have jolla kernel try changing the kernel first
I have also the ghost touching on my E975.
Tried to do a scan with antivirus with no luck.
For instance it's hard to dial number, because there are ghost touches often.
It's like on tihs video, but I have touches even more often:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHFtafL-HKc
I'm on stock KitKat 4.4.2 ROM.
Any ideas about the issue?

Thanks.
It's relatively common issue, hope it will not appear again...
Sorry to resurrect this thread but I seem to have a problem with my screen, not with the ghostly touches but my screen has like one part of it not responsive to touches especially the keyboard. While typing in portrait mode I can't type in the letters x and d and the whole line of the screen above those letters can't respond to my touches. The others are OK though. Anyone else having the same problem or is it just me? Already flashed different ROMs but same problem
So...I didn't manage to get a new battery to perform a test yet...Maybe I'll do that until the end of this week, and post the results here...
About the kernel...Mine is "3.4.0 [email protected]" ...
Going to update to new Kevin's L ROM and see what will happen...Hope I can help u, guys...
I had the same problem as well, unfortunately my phone was just out of the warranty period so I couldn't get a repair or replacement. I tried everything to do with the software and firmware at first to see if that was the issue(no luck). I noticed when my phone was either hot from heavy usage or charging, it was at its worst..couldn't even put my lock pattern in without it spazzing out. After almost throwing my phone at a wall numerous times I decided to get a new digitizer (easily bought online at reasonable prices). Watched a tutorial on Youtube and replaced it successfully and haven't had a problem since.

So tried the touchscreen test and found out it was like a whole strip of screen that got affected. It was okay just a few days ago though,

Yeah no problem and thats unlucky. I've got the Korean variant and wasn't ready to wait weeks to get my new digitizer either from Asia. I managed to find a european version that arrived next day and included front housing aswell (although modifications were needed a bit for the internals to fit). Yeah the Moto G look great but it seems to be more of a downgrade from your current handset right?

I live in the UK I managed to find one here on ebay. I know you can get some from Italy , Spain and I'm positive there some in US aswell. Search "E975 housing or digitizer" depending on what your after. Do be careful as some replacements screens lack the LG logo or a bad quality. Im would give direct link but im not sure about the forum rules on that are. If your still unsure do PM me your country and I'll PM you back an appropriate link.
Hope I helped.

Flashlight/Torch Flickering

Does anyone have constant flickering when you turn on the Flashlight/Torch? Same thing happens when in Video record mode with the flash on. My HTC 10 flashlight/torch seems to always flickering between the two LEDs.

Mine does not do that at all. Nice steady solid light from both LEDs. I wonder if there's a loose or bad connection on your phone. I'd definitely get it checked out.
Update for anyone interested.
It looks like the white LED burned out and no longer works. Will definitely be contacting HTC.

I have the same thing happening with mine, the white led is flickering. It's a replacement phone, as I hard bricked my first one and had it warranty replaced.

I meant to reply after I fixed mine, and now I forgot what I did. I may have done a fresh rom install? But anyways, it's not happening anymore. Just keep trying things cause I don't think it's a hardware issue. If nothing else works, a fresh install should. And if I can remember I'll post again with what I did!
Hope you can get it working for you!

Question about Imprint sensor

Hello xda,
I've been using my 5X for a few months and I'm happy with the device. Hovewer, there is one thing that annoys me, the fingerprint sensor, which is trying to read my fingers, when the phone is hidden into pocket, and when I want to unlock phone using my finger, it warns me about "too many tries, please try again later" (screen in attachment). Is it possible to make Imprint work only if the screen is on?
Thanks in advance.
Face your phone with the screen towards your leg. Issue solved. Your screen is less likely to break in that position if something accidentally hit it.

PS partially solved, because I'm asking for a software hack

You can see the LED through your pants when it's facing out? Are they made from saran wrap?

No, but I'm pulling out the phone a little bit to make sure I got a new notification.
And this is going offtopic.

Anyway, it's currently not possible to make the sensor only work when the phone is on. That would require first and foremost an unlocked bootloader. Then you would need to download the kernel source (I'm pretty sure that's what controls the sensor) and modify it to do what you want. Then you would need to flash it to your device. Good luck.
