ghost touches the screen while charging - HTC Sensation

Hello,
my new HTC Sensation worked fine. But since 4 days it seems that a ghost it touching the tochpad all time when the cellphone is charging.
So you can't use it while it is charging...
If you remove the power plug everything is fine again.
Has anybody had the same problem?
Best regards
Markus

Just use another charger. Or touch the metal frame with your other hand. Its a problem with grounding .. next time please use search no need for yet another touchscreen thread

Hello,
thank you very much for your answer.
I called the German HTC support before, but the men at the hotline knew nothing about this problem and wanted me to send the phone the them (that might have taken 2 weeks as it was told )
And I tried the search, but it seems as I used the wrong text for the search.
I am sorry.
Will post if it worked or net.
Best regards
Markus

Hahaha it will, i also have this problem with a usual USB charger until i touch the frame.. or use the HTC charger

you can also fix this by charging it on your computer via USB...some say battery lasts even more

Can anybody tell me the phrases I need to use for the search to find the already existing themes to this phenomen?

Search for touch screen issue or touch screen response
You gonna find some
Btw if my solution helped you, would be nice if you'd hit the thanks button. Thanks

i had this problems whit the sensation charger.... i think the "0" on the charger is the problem... the micro usb cable is ok... just try diffrend htc model charger... i try Desire, wildfire charger withou any problems...

Try a different charger...
If it's the same, try the link from my sig. It's the only touchscreen fix available and it was just confirmed that it works for problems like yours

WHO YA GONNA CALL??
GHOST BUSTERS!
I just had to XD

I had the same problem; used the aluminum foil method others alluded to and that fixed it.

is this issue still on the XE? or have they fixed it.

The HTC charger is defective!!! Do not use.
Get another micro USB charger. I picked up a Samsung micro USB charger from a friend and it works great. No more ghosting =)

We keep saying that, but I doubt anyone actually asked a MOD if he could turn it into a sticky...
So I'm gonna go and try my luck out

I agree 100%, either tinky1's thread or zmlf's thread SHOULD be a stickie thread here. I mean the methods given in both threads have been more than proven that they work. I will send as mod a message myself also to see about getting one of the threads a stickie. So zmfl message me with the name of the mod you message and I will contact them too.

Hi there! I had the same problem no matter what charger I used! However I used a shielded USB cable to reduce the interference from any charger. I ceated a thread on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072354 for more details.

1. Try a different charging method whether it be from wall block to usb or vice versa.
2. Your USB connection is jacked up and a warranty replacement is in your foreseeable future
I'm a Sprint tech. We see this issue a lot. There's something wrong with the Evo phone/battery combination. If the battery gets too dead, it wont recognize a charge at all. I call it "the point of no return." Just take it into a Sprint repair center and they should be able to charge the battery for you Don't worry...your phone is not broken!

My Screen keeps turning on by itself!

when i have my phone locked and im not even touching it, every few minutes the screen will turn on and sit there for around 30 seconds then will turn back on a few mins later, this is very annoying and im sure uses a ton of battery over the course of a day, im running leedroid 3.1.2 and it used to do it on 3.1.1 so idk if its rom related
Are you sure your not getting notifications??or if any app is causing it (alerts?)?

Check for any stray apps. Install "Battery history for GB" app from market and check for apps that are using "wake lock" excessively.
I had a similar problem with my inspire. It seemed to be caused by a faulty usb cable. After I plugged my phone into my car charger it started working fine.
I have an Inspire 4G with the same problem. I doubt that it is an app, because I changed the rom 3 times so far. And with every one of them, the problem persists. Anyway, i'm trying the Battery log now.

Do you have any apps that you set up profiles for, i.e. Llama? They can be buggy sometimes with the screen commands.
I have the same problem. Going to have to waste my upgrade in august for a new inspire. I am trying battery history for gb now. IF anyone has any ideas, please lets us know. This is absolutely ridicolous.

annoying screen randomly turning on
Hey I've been having the same issue, my SGS I9000 international version keeps turning the screen on by itself randomly, I've flashed my phone back to stock Eclair 2.1 and then I went to Froyo, Cyannogen mode 7, ICS rom which I forgot the name of it, and then I'm running on the new value pack now which is 2.3.6XXJW4 however nothing has solved this damn problem, my screen keeps turning on and it's killing my battery, help please..!! I've tried to see if the sensor is not working, however I believe it's something else.. please let me know if someone has fix for this..!
I'm running LeeDroid v5.1.1 and haven't experienced this yet. I've been running it close to 2 weeks now with no real issues. Just an occasional lag spike on wake up.

Battery ran and, Phone bricked?

The battery for my sensation ran out completely due to normal usage and now it won't even turn on with the charger plugged in. When I plug the charger in the charging light flashes a few times followed by longer flashes with the light staying on longer and then no light at all. My phone shows no sign of life.
I was on 1.1.8 with rcmix 2.3.
Any suggestions?
Boot into bootloader , pull battery hold down volume and power button. Had same issue and it worked for me

Camera Flash For Our Fit !

I was searching the internet, for a while to find out the way to somehow add a external flash to our fit, and ended up to a post, which was about a device called "iFlash". It is a external hardware device for iPhone users only which adds a extra flash to there device.
So I was wondering, can this be made to work on on a android phone, or are there any alternatives !!
I recon that you could get an old microusb lead, chomp and strip the outer insulation. Use a multimeter to find which is power (I think the positive is red and negative is white on most USB cables). Wire up the positive connection of a LED to the negative of the USB lead, then negative to positive. Plug in and it should work!

nice info. want to know more about this.

Aspire [lomash] where are you we need your expert view about this.
@sid
you could try PhonePhlash.
I don't know whether it's available in India or not, but the pics shown do look good...
@Nathan
I don't think Fit's microUSB port has any power output.
So we need to use an external power supply like Lithium Button Cells or AA Batteries
(but they would look plain ugly)
@amandeep
i'm no expert lol... i just try my best to find the answers to your problems...

Ghost touch issues

Hello everybody,
im experiencing ghost touch issues with my GM1903. If i touch the display + the metal frame(especially the area around the charging port) there are ghost touches. Especially visible when playing games like pubg or whatever.
A link to an video of the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXu7WOtd9o4
There is also a thread in the oneplus forum existing, but still no reaction from oneplus....
And before there will be asking someone. Yes i have tried a factory reset, a reflash of the rom etc.
Currently i have sent in the phone, what im asking for is if anyone of you are experiencing the same issue please comment below with the production date.
Mine says 2019.06.03
Thank you!
Which variant are you using 6/128 or 8/256 ??
Are you charging the phone when it happens? If so, are you using the official charger and cable?

The productiondates for this issue vary, see the other thread at the OP forum: https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oneplus-7-touch-issues.1070754/page-11#post-20733362
Not to deminish your efforts, but one of the guys over there sent it in and got it back with another OOS, 9.5.5, which showed even worse signs of ghost touches.
Please update us (and join the other thread too if you haven't already) and chip in with your experiences
how serious is this issue because i have this ordered should i cancel it?
If you plan on using a case that seals off the bottom metal part. You'll be fine
how do you know this have you done it?
Yup. Read the thread on OnePlus forum for more info and videos

Do they appear when charging only?
Sent from my OnePlus7 using XDA Labs
They appear only when not charging, when touching the metal base part around the chargeport and enabling airplanemode fixes it. Disable NFC doesn't, disabling nightlight doesn't, nor disabling any of wifi, bluetooth, gps, 3-finger-screenshot, tap-to-wake or the videoenhancer.
Hi! It has only happened to me once... I was charging my OP7 with a non official charger. Throwing charger & cable to the trash bin solved the issue.
I apologise I haven't been of help
