Has anyone else seen this. The task switcher comes up by itself. When I am in a browser, it will scroll by itself. the desktop switches between screen..
Thoughts?
Thanks
Does this happen anytime? I've never had this, make sure your screen is clean xD Otherwise you could try the touchscreen booster app, it may fix it (calibrates screen)
Yeah tried that, but still have the issue on occasion
My bezzel was on too tight and it was causing the screen to warp and cause false inputs so you might want to check that
Hi,
I have the same issue.
My screen is moving and it lauches some applications/pushing some virtual buttons by itself.
Do you have any solution ?
Thank you in advance
Best regards

Have you tried a reboot? This same problem happens to me if water gets on the screen, so as suggested give the screen a good wipe.
I have tried reboot, Cold reboot (I don't know what it is but I have tried...) and Hard reboot (wipe everything and I did not install/configure anything).
I cleaned the screen (5 minutes ago).
Nothing of these solved the problem... :-(
The screen moves... shifting from a desktop to another... launching apps... :-(
What is disapointing is that, sometime, the screen is good and stable for a long time (30 minutes) and begins to move without any interaction.
I think I will ask if someone has been murdered in my appartment

Have you cleaned the bezel too? Otherwise it may look like a hardware issue maybe with loose cables or the digitiser is just broken.
Sorry if I couldn't help.
What is the Bezel ?

The metal strip round the outside of the screen
The black space that surrounds the the screen.
OK, I did not wipe both black surrounding and metal cover.
I do it ASAP and tell you in an hour if this is ok.
Thank you very much both of you

Unfortunately... no change..... :-(
I egin to believe the screen is too sensitive to electromagnetique perturbance....
I downloaded a soft (touchscreen tuner) showing where the pression is done on the screen.
Where the ghost uses the tablet, the pressure is done on a horizontal line, a little bit above the bar.
I had the me problem.
I managed to get rid of the ghost inputs by flashing another rom(i had installed arhd and then moved to liquid smooth), since my tranny is running liquid smooth i havnt had any ghost input ;D
Thank you all,
I changed the rom of the tablet. The ghost was also there... but perhaps less...
I contacted and he gave me a soft to re-calibrate the touch screen:
http://vegantab.gojimi.com/download/TouchRecalibrate.apk
At the end the ghost seems to have disapeared... but I am not sure what was the solution... the rom ? the soft ? or a high elecytromagnec perturbance in my home.....
Thank you all.
Just in case it's necessary, make sure you don't have something that can conduct near the screen. This includes dirty water or sweat. :/ I'm a sweaty guy so sometimes it messes with the screen when my finger tips are sweaty.
Hi,
I tried to clean the tablet and put it on my bed.
I watched it during less than 2 mn, without approaching less than 1 meter, and it began to move alone...
So I don't think I am the source of the ghost...
is there any real fix for this problem?
as anyone completely got rid of the problem?
samsung gslaxy note 2 i317m ghost input and screen moves voluntarily
I also have this problem with them screen moving at will. This is my second galaxy note 2. If anyone can tell me what a possible fix could be I would appreciate it. I have tried many roms along with dong a fresh installation using ODIN.

Might want to try the Note 2 forum. Not many (if any) going to see this in this forum.
Greeting my fellow phonenerds, today I accidently my nexus 5, in the water after having it and loved it with all my heart for more than half a year. My heart stopped and my breath was on strike, but i was quick in turning it off and leaving it for drying in the sun for a few hours (it was pretty hot this day), with the back case opened. I started the phone and saw some quite depressing and scary phenomena, like, flickering screen, lines switching rapidly, but also no touch input, nothing registered, it sometimes "touched itself on random locations" but without my control. So i shut it off, leaving it for more drying, i've also cleansed the electronic connections with acetone very carefully to remove any oxidation or dirt from the water, left it for drying again. The screen is ok now, some little flickering from whiter to darker, but mostly fine, no buggy ****. Altough it cannot still sense my touch input, but i've only tried booting to the main os so i thught, wel lets try booting it in recovery mode, and voila! the touch works fine, but not when booted into the home screen. What is the problem?
The problem is it got wet..... Lol
Sorry, but kinda a silly question.
Water usually fries something.
Send it for repair. ?
---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 PM ----------
To be clear....water will not ever, in anyway, affect software.....so I'm sure you have hardware damage, as is usually the case with water damage.
Hey, flash stock to it and see. If it works, awesome!!! If its the same....game over.

I will try to flash stock. I think it's just weird that the touch works in twrp recovery and not in the OS, dont you think?

Yes, its strange....but could just be how it is. Getting it wet won't alter files... Just fry hardware.
If its the same after a wipe and stock flash....you're probably pooched. That rules out software anyway.
Good luck!

It is strange, doesnt sound logical at all, does twrp use other hardware to sense input? no. Well, somehow the water made the phone buggy, because it works now Clean install of carbonrom.
Edit* I took my joy too early, its still buggy, sometimes the touch works great, then the os freezes and a simple restard of screen can make it funcion again.
I cleanflashed stock. Everything stock. After every clean install I can use the phone flawlessy for about 1 minute, before the screen freezes (animations still show, like background animations) and no touch is registered anymore, if i turn off n on the screen, i may be able to use touch for a few seconds again before it freezes. Im pretty sure my phone is broken, but im not sure what is broken, the touch obviously works, the screen works, its just some other problem, maybe a weird voltage builds up in the screen after you use it for a while because some little connection is fried i dont know. Im just curious what is wrong, maybe i should just send it in to a repair clinic.

I got my OnePlus One today. What a happy day until this problem showed up.
My screen works just fine, but this happens every once a while. The screen looks like this for some seconds and goes back to normal then.
Any tips?
Its probably software. But wow that hurts my eyes looking at that picture.
Tell me about it. I almost went to an eye doctor. Lol
Are you able to reproduce the problem repeatedly? Does it happen only on the home screen or does it happen in other apps as well?
It appears when ever, where ever. If i take a screenshot of it, it won't appear in there. That's why i took a photo of it.
So, is this screen broken?
It could possibly be hardware then. The only way to really know is to flash a custom ROM or reflash the stock ROM, if it happens on another ROM then its for sure hardware.
Ok. Thanks! I think i'm the only one with this issue. Haven't found anything similar from the web, when searching.
The problem appeared once again and i rebooted the device. The screen had this ghosting in the bootup aswell.
I've done factory reset aswell and the problem continues.
If it occurs outside the OS then its for sure hardware
ALready

Hi,
When I have low brightness the screen the screen shows black horizontal lines as if it was like an interference.. (it's very visible on 0:27 in white background)
Do not know if its a hardware or software problem but when I increase the brightness the lines disappear.
video: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B64u8H_erzPTc3d0bHRsR3BNUms
or https://youtu.be/8Z3xWsanVLQ
It's very annoying, anyone else experienced this?
I haven't had that issue with mine. Could be software or hardware. If you really wanna make sure just do a factory reset without restoring apps and if it comes back it's a hardware problem.
Hi, anyway to backup everything so I can test ?
I'm also having this exact problem and i only received the phone today.
Mine appears to happen more significantly straight after an unlock of the phone (from the lock screen) , it does not appear to happen as frequently when the brightness is turned up fully however.
I have factory reset the phone (without restoring ANYTHING from other accounts/backups) and this has not helped. What's interesting is this is happening during the phones initial installation/setup also.... so before I've even entered any account info , i lock the screen and then unlock and i'm presented with flickering horizontal lines which remain for about 10 seconds and then the screen eventually rights itself, so this proves that it is not a user data issue.
It's also worth noting that this does not happen every time i lock and unlock. I've tried removing expandable memory, with an without charge cable , with screen brightness set to auto and off auto , taking the sim out, auto rotation on and off and none have stopped the issue. I'm going to call my provider tomorrow to see if i can get a replacement , but if thought i'd add my 2 cents

Hi
yes occasionally it happens with lock screen... and yes with max brightness it seems not happen...
Everything on my phone works perfectly, I don't have any other issues common which are reported here but this it's so annoying :s
I think it's the auto britghtness service but I don't know how to disable it.
Can you test if in VSCO app when you change filter it happens too more strongly (like it happens to me)

I've always just disabled auto brightness using the check box labelled (auto) next to the brightness slider .....?
And I've downloaded that app and yes it's also happening when i change the filters.
I've just come off the phone with my provider (vodaphone) and ordered a replacement which is free, as i only got the phone today
I haven't found any similar threads for this same problem for the S7 specifically (at the time of writing this) , but there seems to be similar issues with some nexus devices too , which also use AMOLED screens so could just be that we're the unlucky ones and have faulty devices. If your's is in warranty i would get it replace

the problem is that I 'm not already within 14 days and I did not want to be several days ( or weeks ) without S7.
How do I know if they give me a new one or try to fix this one ?
Can you show me the links with this similar problem on nexus?
what piece of hardware is faulty ?
what is for sure this is not a software issue. is it a problem of the screen or the integrated graphic chip ?

Black Stripes on the Screen
Hi All,
I have started facing the same issue for the past couple of days. When I increase the brightness to the Fullest Maximum and Tick the Auto box, then the Black stripes on the screen disappears, but if I lower the brightness then they start appearing, the more I lower the brightness the thickness of the Stripes become heavier. Please help me someone on how to fix this issue. My phone barely one moth old. Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
hi did samsung change anything in the unit? how did they fix?thanks

Hello,
It seems we have the same problem, I will proceed with warranty.
After a month of purchasing, the brightness sensor is failing, and the screen horizontal white lines. (Image 1)
drive.google.com/ open?id= 0B2Kw-KtTnhcSSGFraExIVEZ1Qzg
Then adjust the sensor to the maximum or minimum lines become smaller. (Image 2)
And finally if I expose the sensor in the sun or in this case to bright light (Figure 3) lines on the screen disappear.

may i know what model is your affected unit? is it s7 edge color black?
same issue here on my girlfriend's s7 edge from EE. im going now to ask for a replacement. i dont bother i have insurance but i'm still curious if it is the oled related problem or other component. in my opinion as technician it's a hardware related issue. I only think about i've never meet any software /os to have that issue ever. how can a software can do that if there are lines overthere specified for drawing certain things, the stripes/lines cannot come out of nowhere
First it was the dead pixels issue on the screen on the s7 n now the screen flickering lines on s7 edge n s7 ... These are not software bugs these are serious hardware issue very disappointing samsung shame even their gorilla glass is also a lie easily scratchable screen
Finally found a complete solution here.
Works like a charm.

Yes, I have my phone 3 years and the screen has been getting more and more dim over the last few months. The bottom 7/8s of the screen is darker thsn the top 1/8.
Hi All,
There's this weird thing happening with my Note.
Initially I had just bought a thicker phone case and noticed that I wasn't able to swipe down for my notification menu, I'd have to kinda hold my finger right up beside the front camera hole until I saw the shade come down then I could pull. To fix this I turned on "swipe down" for the notification menu. That was fine with me for a few days, until about 2 days ago when the phone would start to just freeze up when using it and I had to lock the screen and then unlock or reboot the phone for it to work again.
I got really frustrated and last night wiped the device clean and re-installed the OS without pulling back the apps I already had on it, and the problem was still there.
I had the factory screen protector on it, I though maybe that could compromised so I pulled it off this morning and it still does it.
I can use the phone fine with the s-pen, so I turned on dev options and went in and turned on the setting to show where I touch on the screen. Because I wanted to see what was up. Once I switched it on, I noticed that from time to time there would be a whole trail of presses happening at the top bar of the phone and it would always kinda gather up at the top right side of the camera punch hole. Once that shows up, the notification bar pulls down by itself, sometimes all the way to the bottom of the screen or half way. But the whole screen stops responding, pulling the s-pen and pushing it back up works. I can use it with the pen but not my fingers and it is very frustrating.
Has this happened to anyone? Is this a in-home fix? Or Do I need a replacement?
Hi its happening for me as well. with the latest pie update not android 10 beta

I don't quite remember my build number, but it was running Android 9. Unfortunately we don't really have a Samsung service center here in Jamaica (well we do have a samsung place but they'll tell you if you bought it elsewhere take it there) it's my company phone so I just sent it back to our supplier to have it repaired. They said roughly 2 weeks to get it back. We bought 2 at the same time, the other doesn't charge properly with the stock charger the person has to use a S8 charger to get quick charge (weird i know) In any event, the plan is that when I get it back I'll just put in a request for the Note 10+ and call it a day.
