My Galaxy Nexus is taking random screenshots. Any ideas why this is happening? Im on Gummy Nex .81 currently but was having the same issues on CM9 nightlies. It does it when Im not even using the device and @ other times also. I cant figure out why this is happening. Any ideas would be much appreciated
I've noticed the same. I thought that I must have pressed power+speaker down by accident, but it seem to happen a little to often for that...
I definitely keep clicking the volume button at the same time. Just the position of the hand I guess. I'm not fussed about deleting screenshots of my lock screen, but sometimes it pops up with a list of apps to share it with. I never get the screenshot notification though.

I had the same when using a slightly small case on the Nexus. It stopped when I took the case off, obviously the pressure was forcing the screenshot. It does happen now from time to time. Strange one.
Hello. Just picked up a used GNex off Craigslist. My old Nexus broke and after 2 weeks wn old Dith aroid 2 Global that someone let me use, I had to get a GNex back. It came rooted with CM 10.1. However, once I got home and started messing around with it (flashed AOKP and installed TWRP) I noticed that there was a shadow/outline (not really sure how to describe it) of the keyboard on the screen at all times. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it is pretty annoying (especially on pages with white backgrounds.) I'm pretty sure I did nothing to cause this but does anyone have any idea what is going on/how to fix this?
Sidenote: I just realized that the keyboard outline is not "on the picture" if you will. I took a screenshot, looked at it on my computer and the keyboard outline was not on the picture. Not sure what this means/if it helps.
I've tried to take a picture of my phone but they keyboard outline is too faint to pick up.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Your new galaxy nexus is suffering from severe burn in. Remember on amoled screens, stuff displaying on the screen sort of burns the picture into the screen. Download screen diagnostic from the play store. Take a snapshot of the screen with the keyboard open. Then load the snap shot in screen diagnostic. Leave it there for a bit and it should fix the burn in.

for how long did you leave the negative image on? i have a similar problem on my s4 and i made a screenshot of my whatsapp chat box with the keyboard on (like the burnt image), turned it into a negative using the app and left it there for about 15 mins and the burn is still there like before.
I think I left mine on overnight. I didn't remove it completely, but it improved it

hi
i have a same probem on mys6.. How Iturn it on negative?
I've been able to replicate this issue on my G4 (815T Australian model) on a daily basis, just on the instagram app though.
I recorded a video of it. Slowmo part shows the issue

The screen seems confused and it just scrolls the other way even if my thumb wasn't touching the screen.
Factory data reset did not fix anything.
Are you able to replicate this LG G4 owners?
I don't use Instagram, so can't help with that app, sorry.
But if you go into Developer Options, and turn on "Show touch data", it might help add some more info to the discussion. It will show a trace on the screen of what the phone's touchscreen interpreted from your last tap/swipe.
It would presumably show a swipe up, and then back down, when you're getting these ghost touches that change the scroll direction. But perhaps it could also help show if swipes are interpreted the same way in other apps. It might help you learn a little more about what the phone is seeing, at least.
Thanks for the video and everything but why a new thread? Plenty of videos on the main thread.
Is another thread really necessary?

Might be, because this only happens with IG. I've got the exact same problem, only with IG and its very annoying.

Apologies, first time I posted it I was thinking it was just Instagram-specific.

To me it looks like it is IG specific because I don't have this problem with any other app
You can try to change the touch feedback time from short to medium under settings/accessibility/motor & cogination. This will reduce the touch feedback time. Give it a try, and see if it gets better.

Done that but it doesn't solve this problem.

Question, do you have Google keyboard installed? Because I just removed Google keyboard and installed SwiftKey and it looks like the problem is gone....

Nope, I use Swiftkey from the beginning. Only LG stock keyboard is installed.
Mm, I've got LG keyboard freezed with TB and after changing from Google keyboard to SK, the problem is gone

Interesting. Not keen on rooting though. =\
So you reckon it's just a software issue?

Well this problem is only related to the LG G4 and IG for me...I don't have any other touchscreen problems with this phone. So for me I guess this is not hardware related. During the day I just had 2 small "ghost touches", way better than before. Will see how it goes the next few days...
Edit :
after a view days, it looks like it didn't solve this issue. Today I notice the ghost touches were there again in IG
Force GPU rendening under Developer options somewhat helped.
The new v10f on my Australian G4 didn't fix the issue as well.
Any updates on this? I had same issue. N this is a replacement unit after 2.5 weeks of waiting
Just day one and this ghost touch come up.
I also have this problem
Did you solve the problem?
I am facing similar issue.between...i am not using ig.
I've had this issue as well (not just IG) and sent the phone back for servicing. It was sent back to me with a report showing that they'd done a few things but the problem is still there. I'd been thinking I'd send it back in once more and ask them to have another look. I'm getting ghost touches everywhere and quite a bit, it's very annoying.
Someone mentioned there was another, large thread about this issue but I can't seem to find it, can anyone point me to it?
Hi, I posted this in a new thread yesterday as I couldn't find anything. Never thought to search for 'ghost taps' duh.
Every now and then when just doing normal things on the my phone it totally freaks out and all by it self it suddenly starts to tap random parts of the desktop, slides the pages, opens apps, closes apps, goes into calculator and a bunch of buttons are pressed randomly. It's almost like someone has hacked my phone and is trolling me by just tapping randomly on the phone.
Just today when looking at Facebook it closed the app, scrolled down notifications, data was turned off and wifi turned on.
I thought it might have been my screeen protector, bit of moisture in it or something. Took that off and still does it. Took out the battery for a minute and still does it.
It happened a few months ago then nothing for ages and now it's started again this weekend.
Thought it might have been only when connected to data but has now done it when offline.
Any one got a solution? Does a custom rom fix?
Anyone else experiencing a 1 to 2 second lag when attempting to open the edge panel? I'm hoping this is a known thing and will send an update to correct this!

Once in a while, yup
I think it made the whole phone lag. I ended up turning it off

I have the same problem. it's disappointing. i tried changing to different ones or even stick to the originals (like people edge) that they are so proud to show off. but it sucks. it's so laggy and slow, it ruins the experience and the idea. so unoptimized.
i love using it, but the laggy experince gets on my nerves
About every few months it seems that for no reason what so ever my notifications stop working on my watch and I have to reset it. Does this happen to anyone else? It's very frustrating.
Never happened on my LTE model...

i kind of have something similar but instead of stopping, it can take 5 to 10mins to get them.
i believe it has something to do with battery optimization where something related to the galaxy wearable app gets dozed or something. so to me i think its on the phone side and not the watch.
Happened to me
Yes this just happened to me too. Very frustrating.

i believe it maybe the galaxy wearable app. for about a week now i don't get any email notifs, only texts. everything was working well for a while there.
Check the app on your phone. I had same issue and looked into notification settings and some were changed. I wonder if app update changed my settings.
Theater Mode

Somehow "Theater Mode" got turned on my GWA. I turned it off & notifications came back like before. I am not sure if this was just a coincidence.
