I blamed OnePlus for months for not doing anything for the annoying problem related to the touchscreen panel in a lot of models of the OPO. I was sure it was an hardware problem and only a RMA could have done something for me. I couldn't return my phone cause i always need it and i didn't have alternative phones to use. So i just gave up, living with some not-extremely-frustrating-unresponsiveness during fast typing.
But...
After installing the last official CM11S update (the 05Q one), i noticed some strange responsiveness during a chat with a friend. I was curious, so i reinstalled YAMTT for some test. I couldn't believe that all my inputs were perfect even at fast speed. I still don't know if it was a software or hardware issue, but OnePlus seems to have finally fixed my situation.
Looking for your experience after the update.

Not yet they aren't. It appears to have affected the functionality of double tap to wake for some people.
Doesn't seem like they're updating us on the investigation either. If they've fixed it using software, at the very least they should tell affected users why all the previous updates didn't work for them.
I've been on the nightly road since mid August, in my experience touch issue improved a lot after the touch firmware update in October, however there are still very rare cases where finicky / unresponsive touch happens, you don't want that when you ask someone for her contact in a bar on Halloween and she can't input the letter 'n'.
After that I think I experienced touch issue twice, I foolishly thought this was fixed sometime ago, however it came back big time the day before yesterday, and I was on the latest nightly... So in short, touch issue is not gone

even im having touch issues with double tap and typing.

Do you guys have any problems with vertical scrolling (i.e. in lists, webpages etc.)?
I'm thinking about downgrading... I'm currently running CM12 nightlies and the touchscreen is annoying me

this is hopeless, I just went and looked at touch firmware updates, last ones are 1221 at the end of october and 1222 around new years, I remember it working ok during that time, and some time after that, how come I am experience severe touch issue these couple days, touch turned into swipes, swipes registered as touches, unresponsible parts on the screen. I am almost beginning to think it's about the weather/temperature, problems are more frequent when I am out hiking for a long time.
although somebody mentioned that last change was having problems days after http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/83558/

There are at least two different touchscreen issues as far as we know:
One is where the touchscreen is semi-terrible all the time regardless of temperature
The other is where the touchscreen becomes unresponsive with the increase in temperature, and subsides if the phone is restarted or cools down
Is there a way of finding out which firmware is being used for colorOS?
I can't take this anymore, I am considering flashing either 44s or color OS

Not totally sure how to describe this, but my Optimus 3D seems to be registering a single tap on the on-screen keyboard as multiple presses, usually 2-3. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is it more of an android issue rather than with the phone? Or could it possibly be resolved through the installation of an alternative keyboard from the market?
The issue seems to occur both when charging and when running on battery power, and occurs in all applications I've tried it in so far. (Browser, Market, YouTube, Messaging)
I'm just concerned there could be an issue with the screen, so I'd like to try and get it sorted sooner rather than later, since once you go past a week or two getting a faulty phone handset sorted becomes a nightmare with retailers.

The screen of the phone is very very sensitive. What happens is that you touch the letter and then before you have the time to remove it the phone registers a continuing press. This happens because even if you dont tap with the same presure, the phone still picks up a presure and registers more taps. It isn't really something you should worry about.
Ahhh I see. Is there a way to reduce the sensitivity at all? It's a rather annoying bug and makes it next to impossible to type anything longer than just a few words using the on-screen keyboard.

I would recommend you to compare your phone with another O3D if you can. If some other O3D's work nice for you, then probably it is a harware defect.
I have never experienced such a problem on mine.
Hm, I don't know anybody else with one, however the store I bought it from did have a demonstration unit so I can pop in and try out theirs to see if it also has the same issue. If not at least I can demonstrate the problem to them.

Sounds like a plan to me
I had the same problem as the OP.
It was not from the beginning and started totally unexpected and there was a very noticeable difference before/after. Typing became almost impossible, had to do it veeery carefully.
However, a simple reboot solved my problem. Didn't happen to me again since...
Hi, totally new to Android after being with Apple a long time but loving my O3D except battery life but i'll live with that.
Does have a few niggles but it makes my iphone look sooo out dated!
Right, i have similar issue with letters duplicating but it only happens every now and then and is cured by restarting the phone.
Looks like a software glitch because typing on this phone is as good as when i use my iphone. I'm more than happy with the sensitivity.
I never thought of restarting the phone, but I've done it now and it seems to have fixed the problem. Now I just need to get used to the bigger screen then my crappy old iphone.
I love the screen size in general, though I downloaded a pinball game that only works in portrait which is not really playable because the phone is too heavy to hold only with the bottom.
Its certainly a lot easier to type than I expected coming from the N900. I really REALLY wanted something like the Optimus 3D but with a real keyboard, but sadly I can't see it happening. This "thinner is better" fad really winds me up, I prefer function over form any day of the week.
Speaking of typing, I certainly have had the key repeat problem - I thought it was a build up of grease on the touch screen confusing it. It was quite annoying as my first impression was that typing on this thing is almost as good as a hardware keyboard, then the key repeat issue surfaced. Lets see if firmware 10d fixes it.
update to HTC_IME and u wont have such problem anymore. I had same issue with standart LG keyboard
I'm having the same problem with my keyboard.
It started recently and it's very annoying to try to write a txt with a such sensitive response from the keyboard.
Restating the phone seems to have sorted the problem but, it's weird...
i had this same problem after using the phone perfectly for 2 weeks it suddenly started this annoying habit,i took it back to the carphone warehouse and they exchanged it,so far the replacement is fine.
Hi there guys,
I've been researching on this problem i've got with my Oneplus. It seems that the touchscreen is'nt responsive enough.
Often when i'm scrolling trough (for example) facebook, the phone has a hard time recognizing my swipes, and picks up regular touches instead. Which is causing me to open or like posts when i'm just trying to scroll trough. If i'm scrolling trough my homescreens while just slightly touching the screen, it acts up really hard.
The screen just isn't responsive enough imo.
I'm wondering if other people got the same issue, and if it is hardware or software related.

Funny. I have my oneplus one since a week ago more or less and i also noticed this issue in the very first days of use. Now i've opened facebook app to make some scrolling and see if the problem is still there and i have to say that i don't notice it anymore. Strange, but this is what i feel O_O

Hmm, maybe you just got used to press a bit harder onto the screen (which helps). Would be great if it's really disapearing after a while
Got mine for 3 days now.

I have the exact same issue with my OnePlus after 3 weeks of use. At first it was the swype issue where the phone wasn't picking up swypes properly on the middle left side of my screen. I use a pattern unlock so it's annoying when the dots don't connect.
The next thing was not picking up my touches properly so when ever I use SwiftKey and they recommend words, I could never properly select it because the touchscreen wasn't registering properly.
I did a factory reset and it solved the problem at first but it's now back after 2 days. It's not as bad as before but still persistent. There are tons of people on Redit, Cyanogen and the OnePlus forums that are reporting the same problem.
The good news is it seems like a software and not hardware issue, hopefully the permanent fix can come soon.
Possible solution to the supposed OnePlus One touch sensitivity problem
Settings→Developer Options→ Scroll About Half Way and UNcheck "block gesture touch events"
Also try and see if unchecking "Adaptive backlight" in Settings→Display & lights→ Adaptive backlight, helps.
Of course none of these are permanent solutions. And this problem is real. But maybe the "solutions" above help.
ive not had these issues just yet. but i do get annoyed by gesture control
This still needs to be addressed. It's almost as bad as an old capacitive touch screen!
I got my phone maybe a month after it was released. After exactly 4 months the touchscreen input died and lost all sensitivity. Typing became impossible. After going back and fourth with support for 2 months they finally sent me another one. The new one was excellent for EXACTLY FOUR MONTHS!! Almost to the DAY! My damn touch is broken again and I can't type. I'm furious! I'm also 1wk outside warranty.
With the first phone I tried every hack, crack, rom, reformat, anything I could find. Nothing would restore the touch. I assume it's a hardware issue. I've been looking around for a solution but haven't found anything. If there is anything, I would appreciate some direction.
Sorry for everyone that ever wasted their money on OnePlus, I won't be getting any more products from them...
A few people here and there have been starting to have this problem pop up- including me.
My phone was perfectly fine with absolutely no problems with the touch screen but about three days ago, my phone started acting weird.
At that time, I was running CM 5.1 nightly and then dirty flashed over to the latest. I thought that this was the problem and so I did a clean flash but still the problem was there.
Went back to the original CM nightly that I was previously on and problem is still there.
Tried many different ROMs but the problem is still there..
I can't type out a sentence without my phone failing to register a touch and sometimes registering rapid touches as one - the same problems before Synaptic released a 'fix' for this issue.
At this point, I don't really know what to do but it's aggravating that a phone can't do it's basic tasks such as type.
The phone seems really sluggish when I type - which I haven't encountered before this which slightly leads me to believe that input lag is the crux of the problem however, I can't say for certain.
Can anyone with more expertise help me with this?

Im having a similar problem. I cant type a single sentence without errors. It doesnt register the touch as well few times. Using a device is so sluggish.. hate it. Tried many roms with clean wipe but without any success. Would be nice if anyone could help with the above issues.
I have similar issues and I don't think it's a software issue - I have never flashed a ROM. I think it's hardware problem, probable the earthing suggested in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/fixing-ghost-touch-grounding-issue-hint-t2951000
There is an app that re-calibrates the touchscreen every time you turn it on, but it doesn't completely solve the problem for me and also prevents unlocking until it has completed, which is annoying. The fact that a re-calibration is needed to even achieve a little stability is consistent with an earthing problem.
If mine gets any worse, and I think it will, I'm going to investigate a warranty claim, but that sounds like a few weeks with no phone, which I can't tolerate.
hi, i'm experiencing the same problems. you can test this when registering 2 touches on the same Y axis (try with anyone of touch test apps).
I think that this is popping out to a lot of people in this moment because of the hot days kicking in. in fact, if your phone is cold (try to put in a fridge for 5 minutes) it will work perfectly, but when it will become hot again in your hands the touch will start to freak out again
What sucks is my phone was perfectly fine a few days ago and we've only had an increase of about 5 deg F over the week.
Occasionally the capacitive buttons don't register either.
Same thing here. Perfectly working screen, flashed 5.1 unofficial some weeks ago and no matter wich versión of cm or what kernel, randomly ghost touches happens.
Now with official 5.1 and ak 200 works better, but it's still there. There must be some kind of firmware/software problem, It's too curious that this issue begin to happend to many people at the same time.
My bro has the same problem, some days after flasing CM12S the screen doesn't feel as responsive anymore.
The screen isn't able to handle multiple touches anymore what makes typing really annoying, scrolling through settings also goes really slow.
Tried flashing latest 12.1 nightly but I don't think any ROM will be able to fix it.
No idea what caused it and if there is a way to fix it.

This is exactly what happened to me and it seems like it happened to a good number of people around the same time. Either 1)It's a huge coincidence 2)OnePlus rigged our phones to go haywire around this time or 3)Something in one of the nightlys got messed up for a few people however like you said, flashing new roms for kernels doesn't help anymore which makes me want to do a complete wipe - Internal data included.
Same issue
I was sure it's the heat some time back but then this touchscreen fixer app in the Themes and Apps section is actually helping. That makes me wonder if its the firmware, coz the problem only kicked off after the CM12.1 update. A few of my classmates purchased the OPO at the same time as I did and they dont have this issue (they didnt go to CM12.1).
Any tips on what firmware/ROM to revert to?
Edit: I also flashed the Oxygen OS firmware.
It's not a change in the firmware, mine did it spontaneously. It's hardware. OnePlus will do everything they can to spin a software story and indeed it will often be possible to partially mitigate in software, but ultimately everyone with this problem should be getting a replacement. That could be a lot of people.

I'd love to see how you jumped to such a definite conclusion. I live in a warm climate to begin with, temperatures are actually lower now than they were a month and a half ago, and the CPU of my OPO has definitely risen above the 41-45 Celcius range that people seem to quote for this current wave of issues (and I have corroborated with my own testing). However, if I go to the recovery, the touchscreen seems to have normal responsiveness, regardless of the CPU temperature. Unless it was a built in hardware malfunction set for a specific moment, the probability of a sample, even of this size, where a series of individuals can all see the exact same lineup of hardware-based issues occurring at the same time, is too ugly for me to try and imagine calculating. But I would fare to bet it isn't high.
However, if a set of users are all changing their software as new versions and builds come out, just as the release occurs... At least then you have a series of events occurring all at the same time. Not causation, but at least there's a stronger correlation than "it's warming up so now we see the hardware defects".
The temperature range this "defect" is being attributed to can be reached quite easily in normal use in temperate areas, but even in colder climates, it should be simple to reach such temperatures if the phone isn't underclocked, as the phone is set to charge, or even if the phone is running a software update of some kind, and countless other things.
TL;DR - Don't jump to conclusions that fast, weather changes aren't a strong correlation.

The outside temperature being warm would keep the screen hot for a prolonged period of time as compared to the phone heating while charging or intense usage. However, your recovery argument is spot on! The touch works flawlessly in recovery!

Well I guess it's good that it's not hardware damage.
Has anyone tried going back to android 4.x to see if it helps- if it really is software?
Surprised there hasn't been more people experiencing this issue given the number of people going to android 5.x
I have the same frustrating issue
Same here, works fine in recovery. Also had this issue arise after the first bout of touch issues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoFYcFawTI4&feature=youtu.be
(clearing cache seems to alleviate that particular problem)
I think it's a software issue. I mean possibly there is hardware problems too but mine started appearing only after I installed the 5.1 update... also some things for me feel like a software issue for example when scrolling instagram back up to the top. as soon as it gets to the top it bounces back down again.. seems like software problem to me.
This is definitely a hardware issue. My phone was working perfectly. Until I went on a 5 days trip and used it for navigation, and went very hot. Up until then I was on the same CM12 rom for weeks without a problem. Since then, I've flashed many roms and the problem persists. It's definitely a hardware problem. For me it occurs whenever the phone runs a little bit hot. Practically all the time when I'm on 3G. When the phone has been in my pocket with 3G on, it's almost impossible to unlock it when I try to use it.
I contacted Oneplus a week ago and I still try to get them to RMA the phone. They've sent me all sorts of crap emails, I wiped the phone and now they ask me to shoot a video to showcase the problem. This company has the worst customer service you can find. As much as I like the pricing, I won't be bothered again with their devices. I only hope they'll RMA it otherwise I'll open it myself and try to fix the grounding issue. There is a detailed how to which also explains what's the problem.
I always had it but it was so minim that maybe couple of times a day weren't that big problem!
Just yesterday and today the issue is now intolerable! I removed the screen protector and used the stock lollipop keyboard (bcz swiftkey is kinda slower the issue was there more).
It's still very annoying and I can't type easily! I had to remove flow/swype feature to minimize it further!
Seriously considering buying another phone although I wanted to keep it for a year at least! But the hate is growing on me...
HAha exact same problem here happening since 3days.
I was on Euphoria 29/3 build. I flashed ak kernel, after reboot i couldn't type properly anymore. I was like damn, maybe its bad kernel setting or so. Didn't help.
Cleanflashed 3 roms since then, didn't solve anything. All tho touch works fine in twrp for me. So im really clueless. Swiping does seem to work better for some unknown reason to me!
The ghost swipes while typing is driving me crazy. Thinking of going back to 5.0.2 to see if that helps. Do I need to flash an old firmware to go back to a previous Android version

Possibly. Mine had a very slight issue like this when the phone got warm, but that is mainly for people with the TRUE ghost touch. That means you swipe and sometimes it swipes lazy whrn scrolling because it didn't catch the entire swipe, typing on the keyboard is terrible because it "touched" a different letter, and using an app to test the multitouch registers less than 10 fingers, or even putting a few fingers on the screen causes it to touch elsewhere or not detect a touch. I had a OnePlus One like this when they were still being sold and it was terrible. Then there was a nightly CyanogenMod build that fixed the problem but would drain battery about twice as fast.
Currently, we have custom roms that have updated drivers which vastly improve the screen performance on the ones that had very little issues. Me for example after flashing DotOS I no longer get the very slight issues. My issue mainly occured when swiping, where it would require a swipe perfectly straight up or down instead of the normal way we swipe with our thumbs which is usually slightly tilted. It wasn't something to ruin the experience for me, but sometimes unlocking my phone with the pattern was difficult because of this. There was another rom out there that specifically outlined that it had many updated drivers including the Synaptics drivers (touch), but I cannot recall the name.

my oneplus one was fine bro, I used every custom rom and it worked very well! but in the last month it start happening this ghost touch problem
and I'm sure its 100% hardware, even on TWRP it happens
Just like what I said in the title, I'm about to get a new screen replacement as I heard newer batches don't have any touch related issues. I'm a hardcore gamer and I think touch is very important for me when playing games.
Already 3 months and 'software fixes' regarding touches is not working great.
My phone is from september batch and running 8.12.27 beta and facing touch lags around edges.
Clean flashed 8.12.20 now more multi touches issues under notch.
Is there anyone else who already got a screen replacement?
Any issues like screen bleed/touch delay/multi touch and so on?
Under warranty??

Yes
I also have the same problem but I'm on the stable Pie version of the ROM.
I still havent found any problem though. My screen does have a lil bit light bleed. Still,no touch issue yet.
buy a switch or something, you can consider yourself as ''hardcore gamer'' if you play un phone xD
I'm also facing touch lag around the edges.
The screen center is lag free though. Latest stable Pie didn't improve anything. I also have a little bit of screen bleeding around the notch.
Does the warranty cover this?

How about doing 'qi'test and see if it outputs iq on your Poco.
What ROM you using?
Any multi touch issues when playing tap intensive games like drums or MOBAs?
I think you might be wasting time because I'm pretty sure I've seen someone here or on Reddit say that they had their screen replaced and it did not fix the touch issue for them. Keep in mind after replacement that any of the beta releases from 8.11.23 on (except for the 8.12.27 update) have a new kernel which fixes the delay on the right and left edge and improves scrolling. So if you wish to test if the replaced screen did fix anything, use the stable ROM or the .27 beta to check that.
I must be one of the ones without the screen issue then.

What exactly is the touch issue?
I Got Armoured edition 128GB delivered yesterday itself. Updated it to MIUI 10.1.3.0 PIE and i am facing no issues as of now. No screen bleeding and no touch Issues.
I would like too to know how to detect those display issues.

Ofcourse I'll use the Stable ROM to get a new screen instead using beta.
I can replicate those touch issues on Stable i.e touch delay on edges.
It'll be useless to ask for a screen replacement using a beta just to find out all the store did was just change it from Beta to Stable to 'fix' the touch issue lol.

If you're on Stable pie, type 'qi' fast and most Pocos will output 'iq' even though pressed q first then i. This is touch delay issue.
If you're on 8.12.20 beta, theres screen freezes and multi touches under the notch if you tap and slide 2 finggers at the same button with a bit of force for it to occur. Screen freeeezes also happens where you cannot register ANY touches on the screen until you lock and unlock your phone

Well, I'm still not sure. Sometimes, I will do it quickly and output is "qi" but sometimes I do it quickly, output is "iq" but I'm not sure if I pressed "q" or "i" first, because of the speed. It's there any other way to prove it?
And if it have lags, who can feel those? Because I definitively not.

'q' then 'i' super fast and make sure you know what you are pressing first.
Or you can try 'p' then 'e' quickly see if it comes as 'pe' or 'ep'
Every Poco have it. Forget about it and wait for the fix or just change to another device. If you're really hardcore, I'm assuming you a PUBG gamer, you should know that gyroscopic is the best way to aim on the game and the touch issue means nothing.
I can confirm by testing it, that switching from 8.12.27 to 8.12.10 touchscreen fw the delay is improved. At least, according to the maximum speed that I can type, performing the simple test of typing q and afterwards g or q and afterwards i, with the 8.12.10 is always printing on the screen the right order of the letters I ve typed, thus qg/qi, but on 8.12.27 always the outcome was gq/iq. My device is made on Oct.2018.

Oh that's interesting. Some people here claim that newer batches don't have the touch problem yet you seem to have the exact same issue as my unit which was assembled in July 2018. Full four months and the issue still there... That is why I don't believe there are Poco users who don't have this problem.

I just don't know.
It's just that maybe some units aren't affected.
I heard some random guy in the Poco reddit got a pocophone around September and bought another Poco for her little brother 2 months after that and what happened is his poco has touch issues while his little brother's doesn't have any.
That's why I thought I'm gonna get a new screen replacement
