This Solution may/ may not be for everyone's device. A few users may have screens/ digitizers damaged beyond the help of this fix. This worked for me and showed 95% improvement in typing and the occasional ghost touch issue.
1. Remove your oneplus' back cover
2. Using Aluminum foil cut open spaces in the areas highlighted in red to avoid contact with metal contacts in the back of phone.
3. secure the foil in place with electric tape to avoid it from sliding out of place.
4. close your device and power on
Supposedly the aluminum foil acts as a grounding medium thus eliminating the ghost touch issue.
sure?
Can you make a video for your fix? because the pins on the back are for the antenna as far as I know...
yeah........ sure........ isolate the contacts.........
EDIT: mmmh... I'm wrong I haven't read well your instructions... well, i doubt it solve anyway, if there is an isolation problem it will be on the "front" and not on the back i think

I got the idea from a video on yourtube and decided to try it on my device. Now i experience little to no ghost touches. Take a look at the video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un_wZyVkaV4
As mentioned this may not work for every phone because issues may go beyond grounding on many.

DO NOT by any means allow alluminum foil to come into contact with the pins on the back. As mentioned cut open spaces in the foil to allow them to contact with metal on the back door of the phone.
I will upload a short clip of how i did mine in the back of my device. Also here is a video of what inspired my idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un_wZyVkaV4
this works better than the touchfixer app and also any kernel i have tried.
maximusHd 5.1 rom stock kernel
Tried the same on the video and it does fix grounding

Found it in the thread CyanogenMod 12 Builds [ GCC 4.9 and GCC 5.1][Full -O3][2015/05/12]
on page 124
It can be used with 5.1 Roms, also maybe 5.X but I didn't try.

I was have the same problem with pictures (gray). I've renamed "DCIM" and "Camera" folders in SDCard for backup it, and pictures now works fine. Maybe you should try it, before do some hardware things .
Good luck! Hope you get it fixed. This thread belongs to the Q&A section, this isn't android development is it?

If you already identified the component and have the necessary equipment (the thinnest solder iron and tweezer that you can find, as well as steady hands), all that's left is a good luck, man.

Just solder them with a fine tip on a 15/30w soldering iron. Done it a few times, SMD components are small, but not impossible. Have something to hold the component down and a magnifying glass will help.

How about this:
Take a piece of copper wire about 1mm in diameter.
Wrap it around the soldering iron end.
Wait until it heats up enough.
Now you have your own micro-soldering iron!

You really shouldn't be playing around with the motherboard if you aren't 100% sure what you're doing. But seeing as you already have, the best bet would be try contacting Samsung and if if they'll fix it under warranty. Just be sure not to say that YOU messed with it. Just put everything back to where it was and make it look like you didn't open it or touch it. I just got mine back from warranty for a faulty motherboard so I know they can replace it easy.
Good luck,

Hello, I have a problem. Hoping someone has an answer. I have a Verizon HTC M8, yesterday I decided to disassemble the phone to just see what the insides look like, I didn't touch any other part, I tried to remove the top motherboard but I stopped because any further would damange the top board. Anyways, the GPS was working fine until I took the unit apart.
The problem: GPS location on Google map is at least a block off (tried different map apps, all are offset) and is facing the wrong direction. And GPS following is very very slow. Now I don't know if it has to do with an GPS antenna or what, maybe one of the prongs is not touching antenna, I've taken a photo of the phone from inside and I would like to know which area of the phone is exactly the GPS or maybe causing the problem . I've also attached a photo of the GPS problem, you can see in Google Maps navigation the pointer is wayy off the direction area. Please advise.
Question: What part may be causing the problem? (my guess is its the copper prongs from A-G).
Please help.
Thank you!

In my opinion, this phone has kind of wonky GPS reception anyway. It's hard to tell exactly what's causing it, but my guess is that it has something to do with an unwanted contact, or the antenna itself, touching the metal casing directly. Also, You may have possibly loosened the connection of the GPS antenna when you played with the motherboard a little.
I'll try to find some better board schematics from the motherboard, maybe tomorrow when I have time. I haven't really been able to find some good diagrams on the actual phone internals itself. This phone is really difficult to take off and not too many people attempt it.
I would try to make sure that the internals are properly shielded when you put the case back on, and try to keep all of those contacts covered as much as possible when you throw the case back on. See if you get better GPS lock or if it fixes it all together.
Edit: Actually I changed my mind, I think all those contacts are supposed to contact the case to amplify the signal. Try to get all the contacts to touch the case as much as possible when you reassemble it. I think it's either the connection from a-g area, or on the bottom half k-n or even the q connector. Is your WiFi or NFC giving you any issues as well?

@ Badusername, Thank you for your reply . Yes everything else (wifi/nfc/bluetooth) works perfectly fine. The accelorometer seems to be fine as well. Only part I try to remove/touch was from A-G area motherboard but that was held with adhesive so I didn't touch it any further, I didn't touch any other part. My guess is it's A-G area but not sure exactly which one is the GPS antenna so I can try to adjust it (if possible).
I jave the exact same problem. Did you figure anything out yet?
Any Updates?

Did you bend any of the copper prongs so that they no longer touch their antenna? That's usually the problem.

Can't find a schematic anywhere that shows which antenna or prongs are gps related so I don't know which prong or antenna to mess with. I'm surprised there are no basic schematics anywhere...

I believe it's in the top board so make sure the ribbon cable is secured and not damaged. The metal prongs usually need to make contact with the case itself which often has the actual antenna stuck to it.

Thanks for your help so far. Checked all prongs and ribbons on top left and they all look normal. They all still have a spring to them so that theyll touch the contacts on the back of the outside case. I'm out of options without finding exactly which part are gps related....

Is there any way to purchase the gold colored motherboard clips/pins that make contact with the case for the GPS module. While attempting to fix mine, the clip broke. I was looking to purchase this clip to attempt to solder it back to the board.

I'm in the same boat. I don't think there's a way to replace the clip itself, only the board that has the clip on it. It shows up as a result for "HTC One M8 Motherboard Flex Cable". Here's the one I'm buying, it's around $60. You can see the little gold tab in the picture for it. Looking at that board's location on the phone, it looks like you'd probably have to remove the motherboard to get to it and replace it. Sounds fun. I had my phone apart for a relatively simple USB port replacement.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271686259825
I know this is raising the thread from death but I too broke my tab off for the gps. I was able to fix it using a trimmed piece of thin sheet aluminum that I salvaged from an old Airport extreme. I trimmed it down to the size of the tab on the motherboard and used some conductive adhesive to stick it to the solder pad that the old copper tab was attached to. I then trimmed to down to length to touch the casing when the phone was reassembled. Its been working great now for a few months and its actually a much sturdier piece of metal. I can't say objectively since I don't have data to back it up but it feels like I get a faster GPS lock now.
My M8 is being goofy and I need some advice. For some reason the thing keeps randomly kicking over to docking mode, playing my ringtone, and the diskette defaults to speaker which is getting real hard on my hearing.
I tried wiping and restoring to a NAND backup but the issues persist. I'm thinking firmware or radios are the issue.
If im wrong, can someone suggest a fix? If updating the firmware sounds wise, could some kind soul post a link to the latest firmware for the Verizon M8?

You aren't going to like my answer but this problem can be solved by replacing the flex cable inside the phone. I have had to do this for a few phones already. It's a $15 part plus you would be wise to buy the $11 speaker grill stickers to replace the ones you take off as they won't be reasonably reusable.
There are very small ic and smd on this cable that can break loose and cause this exact symptom.

You're right. I don't like that answer a whole lot. Then again, I do like that it can be fixed for a somewhat reasonable price. The phone spends a lot of time on the dashboard of a big rig and the harsh vibration made me wonder if something like that might be the case. Is is the flex cable for the USB port? I'm probably going to take it to a shop and have it done rather than try it myself.

I keep my phone on my body as little as possible. Its real uncomfortable to have a phone this big stuffed in a pants pocket all day and I almost never wear shirts with pockets. Even when I do I don't put the phone in them because its fallen out too many times. I'll probably lay it on a towel up there or something.
Mege-thanks!
I wanted to take a moment to give many thanks and utmost appreciation for the help on this problem. I got the board today and just finished installing it a few minutes ago. It's working like charm! I'm VERY happy!
Hi all...
Could you check one thing for me pls?
Put your OP6 on a hard surface like a study table(mine is made of wood) and charge it. Take off any case etc. Also without any shoes or slippers etc.
Then run your fingers along the sides i.e. along the metal frame while it's charging.
Do you feel like a hint of current/electricity on your fingers?
I feel like the minutest of minute vibration while running my fingers.
But only when it's on a hard surface.
When I hold it in my hands, I don't feel anything.
Please kindly do this test and tell me.
Thank you.

That happens with MacBook too! I mean thats electrical discharge / leakage. Thats pretty normal. You might get a minor shock if you lick the metallic contacts or if the same comes in contact with your sensitive areas like elbow, belly and below that

Same happens on my OP3, but it stopped after few months randomly. I think you shouldn't get the replacament unit, or at least i didn't because i don't live in a country that oneplus is officially selling devices, if you do and it's not much pida, go ahead, but you might get the same resultl lol

I just wanna know if this extra current can affect my OP6 or not?
Like battery life or circuits in the mother board etc...
Cheers

You do seem to be having a few touch issues there!!!!!!

Zoom out, put your thumbs together so that they will touch each other and hold it.

That is so weird. IT moves all over the place. Maybe because thumbs are further apart? No problems with two fingers. Weird

No issues here. Check mine.
Maybe it is the pre-installed protection glass?
Same issue here. You can test it with a multi touch tester app. You will see the two touches merging into one and then splitting in two, and that goes on and on.
My guess is that a firmware update might solve this, but OnePlus should really be informed.
OP would you mind submitting a bug report through the Community app?
I'll do
Edit: done
Edit 2: it is not the pre-installed protection glass
Same here. I found out that is related to some electrostatic issue when touching the bottom of the device. Otherwise this won't happen. Let me know.
EDIT: confirmed, even without touching the bottom. Can you link the bugreport?

For the record, i am experiencing the exact same problem. More details here. Waiting for a fix.
I don't have a screen protector installed.

This is exactly what I experience. Touching the bottom of the phone at the same time as I touch the screen will give me these issues.
Same here what production date are your devices? Mine is 2019.06.03
