Hey, everyone. So just a few moments ago I dropped my OPO onto my hardwood floor. I exclaimed, "Oh balls..." out loud and then picked up my phone. There are no marks on it, no damage to the tempered glass screen protector, nothing at all to note. BUT, now there are phantom touches happening in what appears to be the lower left quadrant of the screen. I cannot do anything. I have already made phone calls I didn't mean to make, send out random emails, it is ridiculous. There is no LCD bleed, no marks, nothing!!!?!?!
It does the same thing in TWRP recovery as well. Phantom touches in the same area. Is it possible that when I dropped it the tempered glass protector shifted a bit or something and now it is registering touches? Should I try to remove the tempered glass protector and see if that fixes it? Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.

The fact that there are no visible marks on the device doesn't mean anything at all, the phone is damaged, that's what happens when you drop them. It's impossible for the screen protector to be registering touches. You've most likely damaged the digitizer and it'll need to be repaired.

Thank you for the swift reply. I am comfortable taking this phone apart and replacing the digitizer, but can you suggest a reputable place to get a replacement part? Thanks again for your time.

Honestly, I don't know of any place at all that you can get a digitizer for this thing. If such a place does exist it's probably going to take some serious searching. One thing to take note of is you'll want to buy the digitizer + screen combo, because trying to separate the two will most likely end up with both being destroyed. And another thing to note, while the most obvious culprit is the digitizer, it isn't definitely that, so you might be better off having it inspected and repaired by OnePlus themselves (as much of a nightmare as that apparently is).
Funny thing is I dropped mine and now the screen works fine....before I had ghost touches galore.

I lost my sgs4g recently and was looking into getting an htc sensation. One thing I'm noticing is that the screens crack pretty easily (falling from 5ft). The sgs4g has gorilla glass and I would drop it plenty of times and although it would fall apart without the case(back cover and battery pops out), the screen would never crack. From what i have seen, the htc has gorilla glass yet it cracks so easily. Why is this? Is there a screen defect with the phone? From what I've seen so far, the phone seems great but the screen issue users seem to be having concerns me.

i know of a digitizer issue but an easily crackable screen? never heard that one before
ok i read a bit further and the way most people spoke of the phone,it had me think they were one and the same. the digitizer will crack easily but the screen itself will be fine am i correct on that?
Is there anyone else that would like to chime in on this? I remember reading a thread where a person asked whether if the replacement digitizer would be gorilla glass which had me think that the digitizer and screen are one and the same. Also are there any other issues with the phone besides the digitizer that i should know about?

the display and the digitizer screen are separate pieces
the digitizer is a part of the gorilla glass screen and the display is beneath that
it doesnt crack, it shorts out and stops working properly for some. it can easily be prevented. if it happens, its an easy fix and if you want a new one you can replace it i think its about 20 bucks
oh ok great how can i prevent it? and is the easy way to fix it the software update as mentioned in a stickied thread? i basically dont want it to ever look like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142379
All you need to do is to be a little bit carefull whit your phone ..
I wonder why are you so worried lol do you drop your phones alot ?
Sent From My Sexy Sensation.
The Sensation is a quite durable phone... I've dropped it a couple of times with no issues...

The Sensation does NOT have gorillaglass.
You can effortlessly push down hard enough on the digitizer to get it to touch the actual LCD panel underneath. It's an oleophobic plastic.

i would say yes
just from the design of our screen (curved around the edges) it could possibly make it a tiny bit weaker
Noticed that from the place where my thumb usually makes up/down scroll is strange area, and even I clean the screen, this area is still there. See Yourself - I made a picture, clean screen, water steam (breath), and this middle area is the problem. My thumb is normal, I'm a normal user and I had newer such problem with any phone.
Is the Gorilla Glass really so bad or is it coated with some stuff which is just coming off?

No, I have not used any kind of screen cover, but seems that Moto G screen is covered with the the water-resistance coating and this is failing off - it's clearly visible when cleaning the screen with some liquid, only this area stays wet.
But I don't think this is normal behavior. I can't imagine what the power users screen is now or will be later. I contacted with the Amazon ( I have one dead pixel too), let's see what they say.

If it contains a dead pixel better get a replacement, all the best for that.
BTW water repellent coating is done on the internals of the device.

I know about internal coating. But as You see, the screen is also coated. I have the proof.
I made a test, sprayed water to the screen, and as You see, the damaged area stays wet, while the rest rejects it.
The question is - do I have faulty screen or this will happen to everyone sooner or later?

well you are the first one to report something like this and i agree with you because this might happen with others also sooner or later. Its very much possible that your screen is faulty since you mentioned its new (maybe the screen had tiny dust particle before the coating took place) many members are using the phone without any screen-guard but none have mentioned anything like this..A lot of member have got dead pixels on their screens and got them replaced.
I'm using a screen guard since the screen will get scratched over the time.

Well, Amazon just replied and they will replace it with the new one, so I have to wait for the new one and later send the old one back. Let's hope that this one's screen ( I still don't like to add the screen protector, as it's kind of ugly) will last longer.
If you apply the screen protector carefully, you won't even know it's on! It's your choice tough but what you reported is pretty worrying. That area of the screen seems too big tough for it to be a thumb, (you touch with just the tip of the thumb) do it was probably already a little damaged when you got it and with the time it got bigger and bigger. Or maybe you scratched your screen somehow?

the is an oliophobic coating on the screen of the moto g (part of the gorilla glas). this is also the reason why you generally get less fingerprints on the display than on a screen protector and why it's much easier to clean the display than the scren protector

I'm 100% sure that I haven't scratched the screen purposely, juts normal, id even say careful using. And if I clean the screen, it's bright and like a new, impossible to detect any damages, also this problematic area is clean and shiny. But when I touch it or spray water etc, it's clearly visible. So choices are:
1) Add screen protector (let someone do it, once I added it to iPhone and the result was terrible).
2) Polish the whole screen, so that this coating is removed.
3) Replace.
4) Ignore.

Yes, You are right, it's anti-fingerprint oleophobic coating and be warned, seems it's just won't last.
I just bought my nexus 6p, and have already dropped it twice D: I only caused minor scratches to the screen and back, but I was looking for a good screen protector to prevent further damage and cover the scratches that are already there. I had heard of some "liquid sapphire" coatings too that I would think would serve to repair the scratches, but I have no idea really where to start. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Sorry for you phone
You can buy the original screen at the Amazon ,eBay or HCQS.CC

I can't imagine replacing the screen is easy, I can't begin to imagine the process. I am inclined just to cover it up with a protector for now
LOL
OK ,got it
If this is in the wrong section, I apologize.
It finally happened, I dropped my V10 on the concrete, and it hit screen first and now I have a huge cluster of cracks on the screen. Does anyone know of any reputable sources for the screen glass? I see some that come without the digitizer, but don't know if I should chance separating then gluing the two.
I would strongly recommend getting a complete screen assembly. Unless you have expensive equipment to separate the screen from the digitizer and fix a new one, It's gonna be messy.

Always buy full screen assemblies that contain the glass, digitizer, and lcd. This keeps things simple and speeds up the process. Especially considering you probably don't have the right equipment at your house.
The company I work for uses mengtor.com parts. The V10 is pretty simple of a teardown. Just try to use plastic to open the phone and disconnect the FPC connections so you don't damage them.
Pm me if u have questions.
I have had my screen protector from OnePlus on since I received the phone in May. As of right now, there is a crack spanning the entire screen, top to bottom and a half a ring shaped crack in the bottom of the screen protector. I have not dropped the device nor have I had anything impact the device. It has simply cracked under the pressure of my own pocket. I strongly urge against buying one. I have reached out to OnePlus and their response was that it was already installed, so they refused to do anything, even after providing many pictures and a video proving there was not a single scratch on the phone or screen protector. It is a total price of garbage. Do not buy!
So no crack in your phone screen? Thats all that matters tho. I mean maybe you didnt notice when you bumped into something because i doubt it can crack in your pocket only.
If i was you i would buy the moloco full adhesive screen protector from aliexpress for 3.99 dollar because it looks the same as the orig one.

Yea thats the one bro! And full adhesive is the way to go because matrix dot or edge only protectors are terrible.
Also if you really need a good protector then you can try to glue it on with LOCA 2500 glue. Videos are on youtube.

When it's in my pocket, I always have the screen to my leg. Also has a case. I'll dig through the pictures I sent OnePlus and post them later after work. Not a single scratch on anything, even the screen protector.
Anyone notice the sensitivity of the screen has lessened since using the OnePlus 6 tempered glass screen protector? Takes more effort to double tap, sometimes around the edges of the screen touch is iffy, I'm considering taking it off but would prefer to keep it on for obvious reasons..
Thread cleaned.
Flaming somebody--and even worse, their country--is not tolerated as per XDAs rules. In this case, the post referenced a product alone, and there is no need for hostility against one another.
XDA is a place serving several different regions, and insults as to any of them are not permktfed.

I notice it a bit, but not enough to impact anything. I have big hands and they are strong from playing guitar so I usually press slightly harder anyway. It is a little on the thick side. Going to try a plastic as a replacement for my damaged one. I'll report how well it works after the weekend.
