Sometimes when my finger is close to the screen, it automatically "touches" the screen, is this a normal problem? Why is it so sensitive? I don't even touch it yet but it already "touches" the screen

Hi,
I have recently had a problem with the touchscreen. If you were to swipe your finger a lot over the screen (for example playing fruit ninja) you would be unable to use any of the bottom buttons (like the home button)
I did a little investigation work with the app 'touch test' and I have found what is happening. If you did the swiping action the first finger touch (finger one represented on blue by the app) would lock. If you were to swipe your finger again across the screen it wouldn't registered as the first finger touch, but the second. The bottom bar navigation buttons only respond to the first finger touch.
Sorry if that was confusing in short: The tf screen thinks a finger is touching the screen when it is not, and any finger that touches the screen after that would be represented as another multitouch.
As far as I see there is only one solution: Hit the power button to make it sleep and then wake it up.
I have noticed that their have been several other threads on this, none of the other users had any luck. Wiping the device doesn't help.
Has anyone else noticed this.
Thanks
Have you tried an anti-fingerprint screen protector? I'm wondering if skin grease is possibly the cause of this (I don't experience any such problems, although admittedly I don't play fruit ninja et al, and have a screen protector on).

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I thought of that for a while. But when you put it into sleep and wake it up it's perfectly fine. Maybe doing that undoes all of the inputs. I'll try cleaning up the screen. I admittedly do have sweat hands
Quick question, I have two spots on the screen that when press along the edges of left or right of the scrren the middle of the screen and lower left of the screen (with more pressure than needed to operate the screen,) it will have ripple effect effect. I am wondering if this is isolated or widespread?

1. Dont do that
2. That happens with any lcd screen when you "press harder than needed"
Does anyone know how to have the screen go horizontal when on a phone call? Thanks!
Edit: Turned out it was a ROM and bootloader issue . Reflashing fixed it.
When I was trying to enable android pay, I need to enable pattern for screen lock. And I feel that I cannot really touch the lowest part of the screen,.
So I enable the developer mode and show touch point. And I found that the lowest 5mm of the screen were not response to the touch. there are also 3mm to 5mm dead zone around the edge for other direction. Hows yours?
Edited
I re-tested with a touch pen. And found that only the right screen and the bottom screen has the dead zone.
Split screen from full screen issue
Hi, if anyone's using split screen 2 finger gesture or One Hand Operation + gestures for split screen, did you notice that since OneUi 5.0 it mostly opens split screen apps in the top screen when going from a full screen. For example when I'm watching YouTube in full screen with a gesture it opens it on the bottom side mostly even tho it's inconvenient and not handy, it sometimes opens it in the top part of the screen if I rotate phone in another side. For example it opens it in the top side of the screen if the phone is in full screen - front camera is on the left side, but it opens it on the bottom if the front camera is on the right side. I don't see the logic.
