My phone is killing me... All of a sudden when I'm in the settings there is something like ghost touch that drags the screen down. It happens only in the settings! I can't even access to the developer options to activate touch feedback! In a couple days I'm gonna try to reset the phone but for me it's problem is absurd. I don't think that this happened to anyone other than me but do you have any suggestions?

Try using screen test app from Playstore to know that your touches are getting registered as you want to.

Can you suggest me a good app? BTW I tried to lock the screen in portrait (reverse) using an app called set orientation in order to check what would happen. The screen continues to go down while it was supposed to go up instead if there were ghost touch in the bottom of the screen

The problem keeps happening, unfortunately I won't be home until Friday evening and until then I can't reset the phone because I don't have a wifi connection.
I hope that a factory reset will solve the issue but I was wondering if since this is most likely a software issue, I could flash the original firmware in case the soft reset isn't enough. I had several Sony phones before this one and I could do it without voiding the warranty and with a locked bootloader. Is it the same case for this one?

Yes. Warranty will only be void with unlocking the bootloader and misuse of the unit.
Maybe you can try to use a hair dryer to dry the phone!
Also a reboot comes in handy all the time!
Do check your charger too!
It used to happen with me on my old phone due to my sweaty hands! Fortunately this doesn't happen with me on my Honor!
Edit:Also check if you have Glove mode On in settings - smart assistance
bro just hand over to service center they will take care of your phone ,please don't do any hard things to phone
I did a factory reset and all seems to be working fine now. I hope it will last

How do you fix it when it happens? Do you have to restart? Does the touch fail or does the tablet freeze?
Honestly not very sure what you could do, besides maybe trying a factory reset? That would work if a software problem.
What about cleaning it and removing any screen plastic guard.
U can say it freezes then I have to restart it. This is happening after two factory resets.

Same issue here, I think.
Just purchased a refurbished Nexus 7 (official factory refurbished) from Amazon. My touch screen works great for a day or so, but eventually touch stops working altogether and sometimes requires a hard-reboot (holding the power for 10-seconds). Downloaded a touch screen test app which works great (even with ten fingers on the screen), tracking well on all parts of the screen. It's just like the touch atrophies over time until it stops working.
First thing I did to the tablet after getting it was to unlock the bootloader and load stock/rooted 4.4.4. Is there some way to update the touchscreen firmware that I'm missing?
I don't want to open this thing up and muck with the hardware for fear of damaging it. I'm holding out hope that there is a software fix, because rebooting fixes it right up.

Same here! All of a sudden my screen goes crazy, as if three fingers are touching the screen at the same time. Quick fix: restart the phone.
I waited reporting the issue to see if more people have it, or it is just my phone.
Hmmm... now that I think about it, I better wait rooting the phone and tripping Knox in case of fixing this problem under warranty...
Same problem on my phone. I have a glass screen protector, I thought maybe it's because of the screen protector. Sometimes locking and unlocking the phone also solves it for me.
I also have a glass screen protector, but I experienced the problem also without protection, since I applied the screen protector a day later.
Locking and unlocking the phone seems to "solve" it as well indeed.
Hmmm... seems we got an issue here, Samsung!
I have also addressed this topic to the online shop I bought the phone.
Ghost touches did happen to me during the first three or four days after purchase. Now however, they are completely gone.
I've had this happen to me two times in three days on two different A70's (one time on each phone). Most likely software issue.
yes me too, i can't even type fast bcs it will trigger a ghost touch between the two alphabets i'm trying to type, feels like an old man for typing slowly lol

A70 touch problem solved

1) switch off the phone completely*
2) press volume up key plus power key until Samsung logo appears you'll get into boot loader mode*
3) to move up an down use volume keys to select options press power key now you have to select WIPE CACHES partition*
4) then select run graphics test*
5)then do system reboot
give this a try it worked for me an let me know if it's works for you or not.

I'm also having the same issue. Tried the 1st solution. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a70/help/ghost-touch-t3927693/post79538651#post79538651). However my phone didnt restart automatically so I restarted manually. I'll update the results. Thanks a lot.
Got a software update this morning which seems to have fixed it. At least I got to type this comment faster :laugh:
guys, I don't know if it's a "ghost touch", but if I get my finger really close to the display it acts as if I touched it on that spot - but I don't feel like I've touched the screen at all... is it really sensitive or is this the ghost touch issue?
after each lock when i turn the screen on with double tap or power button screen is unresponsive for good 3 seconds. This started happening after the latest camera fix update. When if i use aod and use the fingerprint through the aod this doesnt happen. tried reboot and factory reset with fresh install (no backups) tried safe mode. Same thing happens.
S20 plus exynos.
Yup happening to me too (s20+ exynos). For me the time of unresponsiveness is around 1-2 seconds. Happened after the latest update.
Yes, have been facing the same issue since "ATCH" update.
Yeah has been driving me nuts. Same problem.
I'm surprised this isn't gaining more traction? Can't be the only few experiencing this!?

I did this already and while it feels like fingerprint is faster, unfortunately this is a screen issue. You see if the screen is off and i put the finger in the correct spot it always scans my finger without any lag. The issue is occurs when -
a) I have unlocked the phone using above way, then the screen becomes unresponsive right after unlocking.
b) The screen is off and i either press the power button or double tap to wake, then the screen will be unresponsive and its during this time the fingerprint scanner doesn't scan (because the scanner doesn't know it needs to scan since the touch is unresponsive)
so TL;DR its not a FP scanner issue.
I am quiet sure Samsung is already addressing this issue for next update.
My device Z fold 3 having this issue. Bluetooth is turned off automatically after fully unfold for 5 seconds and then sometimes it turned back on.
Factory reset doesn't fix this. Anyone having this issue?
Sounds like a hardware issue.
Try in safe mode.

Yes they can do that. If it's a firmware update it will need to be reflashed to the previous version unless you can find a work around.
Make sure Galaxy Wearable has all permissions enabled, phone, calendar... all of them.
Google play Services must be enabled.

After complete reset it was still not working but has steadily got better. Almost back to 100%, but even right after reset still had issues. It seems to be working. Samsung says to take it to Samsung Service Center. Best Buys have them, if available in your area.
I'm having the same issue. Tried to disable some labs features ('multi window for all apps') helped a bit. It got better for about a day and now works about 50% of the time.
I am outside the US so very difficult to get to a repair center. Keep us all updated please on what works. We need to find a way to fix this!
Anyone know any Samsung tech guys that can chip in?
Outside of the US eh? So this is not a problem specific to regions or chipsets, well that's worrying... I was hoping it be something related to chips or mobile carrier. Now it sounds like it's totally random
