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
As we all know Pixels have this dreaded microphone issue. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. If you restart the phone, it temporary fix the problem and after few minutes/hours my mic doesn't respond again. I tried to flash different official rom released from https://developers.google.com/android/images but the issue is still there. I believe it's software issue because the hardware works. I'm now looking to root my phone and flash a custom rom, maybe they fixed the issue in their end.
I installed Sound Meter and Mic Tester to check once in while (you should too) if my mic is working. When I found that the mic don't respond the way it should, that's the time I restart my phone.
* Flashed different versions of: Nougat, Oreo, P (preview) ... but the issue is still there.
Can we list the Custom ROMs that fixes this annoying problem (is there any)?

No, I would just lose microphone functionality for a minute at a time, sometimes longer. It happened in phone calls a lot. I just thought my mic was going out but I'm glad I tried a few other roms before buying a new phone. I feel like my issue was far different from your current problems
If this was a software issue, everyone running android 8.1 would have this issue. This sounds like the audio codec manufacturing defect. Unless you have an app that is interfering with something, probably not software
That's weird,. I haven't encountered that issue not on stock but I never stayed on stock for long though as I flashed custom rom a couple of days after receiving my phone. Bought it new in March. I'm running Dirty Unicorns rom though, can be found from the link to Discord on my signature.
I'm definitely interested if you find anything. Installed the April update over the weekend and bam, no mic and random reboots. Factory reset didn't help. I would think it's firmware related since it happened immediately after the update, but idk. Both Sound Meter and Mic Tester show no response.
UPDATE:
I tried to load a custom ROM - Resurrection Remix 6
So far so good. I haven't experience the problem this day.
Usually, I restart my phone 6-8(or more) times a day just to temporary fix the microphone issue.
I will observe in a few days and update this asap.
UPDATE
Resurrection Remix 6.0 works great! I didn't have any problems! It seems fixes that microphone bug.
I have uptime of 36 hours and counting with out restarting my phone. I had few voice calls and few net calls (FB and Skype).
Super big thanks to all who's involved in making that project.

I installed Resurrection Remix 6 and I still have the same microphone issue. Can someone please confirm if by downgrading the problem will be fixed? Thank you.

problem persisting in Android P too..... i upgraded last night and works well for few hours, then today, starts again........
Thanks for the tip. Ever since I got the June 18 update (D1 android 8.1) I've had random reboots, mic and the odd speaker issue.
I rooted stock with twrp n magick no difference. Even b4 restoring apps. So this week have installed pixel dust. Such a great time BUT mic n speaker problems persist, and the random reboots have become complete crashes. Where I think my phone is bricked, but if you hold power long enough it reboots. That's where I'm at now. Barely got any apps installed, dealing with it. I think I'll give ressurection ROM a ago tomorrow. Thanks for the tip. I know easily when it's happening, because I use ok Google and voice typing ALOT.
I can't believe that only last month I was totally ignorant to this issue and loved my pixel a bit too much. Now it's like dancing with a dragon ?
Does anyone else have any more tips for dealing with this?

I was also pleasantly oblivious a week ago. And I've been running on the March 2018 security patch since...well...March. So I can confirm this issue isn't caused by the June (or April, as another hypothesized) security patch. I haven't updated because I've been using Magisk for root since day 1 (opted not to install twrp), and the one time I system-updated to March, it don't go smoothly with magisk.
My repeating symptoms:
Mic failure some number of hours after boot.
And yesterday (not sure if it's repeating):
Could not receive income phone calls
so I received a Hangouts call instead, and phone did not stop vibrating until the Hangouts call was finished.
Around the time these symptoms started I had:
1 never-before-seen phone brick while I wasn't looking at it. Picked up phone, black screen, no response. Held power button for ~10 seconds to reboot.
1 never-before-seen instance of super laggy scrolling. Freezing for a second before it would scroll. Rebooted to fix.
Claimed fixes:
some say uninstalling apps solved it
some say upgrading to P
some say replacing the motherboard
The frustrating part is not having any way to know what the problem is or what the solution is. And people are experiencing different symptoms, so we can't even be sure we are having the same problem.
This article https://9to5google.com/2018/02/08/google-lawsuit-pixel-defective-microphone/ explains the cause:
If you’ll recall, Google’s 2016 Pixel devices, the Pixel and Pixel XL, faced microphones issues not too long after launch. As Google explained in early 2017, this issue was attributed to “a hairline crack in the solder connection on the audio codec,” with a warranty replacement being the only reliable fix. Later on in the manufacturing process, Google refined this part of the device to reduce the chances of this problem occurring.
Obviously, that was a frustrating issue for Pixel users, as it essentially disabled all three microphones on the device. What made the problem worse, though, was that holding the device in a different way or even a change in temperature could make the problem come back after it had seemingly gone away.

I never had bootloops but the mic and audio issue, with stockROM, pixel dust and CrDroid. Then I heard about the ubreakifix possibility and when to the next store and they changed the MB without hesitation. Since then it works like a charm. Just go there, they are very helpful. That's a hardware issue not a software one.
Long story short - the update triggers the behavior(s), but its actually a manufacturing fault. You can replace part or your full motherboard to fix it. I personally just flashed stock and took it back to EE and they replaced it no cost. I remembering reading its a common problem with a certain early batch of Pixels. I've lost the link but you can use your serial number to check if its an early version thats effected. Apparently its only effects less than 3% of phones but the problem looks bigger when i was searching lmfao.
Anyway software fixes might help, but ultimately its a hardware issue. Get it replaced. Yeah they sent me a new one with a locked bootloader so i have to start from scratch but thats better than living with the error.

You're right. I ended up getting a free repair from uBreakifix. The guy said he wasn't allowed to tell me what he did to fix it. I noticed he had downgraded me from Android 9 to 7.1.2. I hoped that wasn't the secret fix. On closer examination, I noticed the serial number had changed, which means they replaced my motherboard...for free...on an out of warranty Pixel that I bought second hand. :good:
right now I have been using G4 for a long time.
And many problems start to appear on my phone.
I have got Bluetooth lagging, so sometimes disconnected with my earbud.
I have got no internet on 5G wifi, but 2.4G wifi works fine.
I have overheating problem and battery draining problem.
I want to know what I can do to fix or reduce the problem. Please don't tell me to buy a new one. I know it can be a solution.
Another problem is it only get Android 6.0 and I have att version but I am on Tmobile network.
I also want to know if any 3rd party Rom provides have a 7.0 or 8.0 for that?
Any suggestion can help.
If no way to fix or improve, I will look for a new one.

If you google LG g4 boot loops it’s all a common issue. There are fixes like baking it in the oven, taking it apart and redoing to heat sink or whatever. But only actual fix is replace the phone. The G4 is common for hardware failure. Just make sure you backup everything as it wouldn’t be a surprise when it bootloops, usually there’s no bad signs before bootloop but can still happen especially since your having hardware problems.
You’ll need an AT&T sim to update the device. Sorry can’t answer on custom Roms though.

Since Android 10 dropped, if anyone notices any bugs or issues I figured it would be good to make a thread about them. Been using Android 10 since it dropped, and one issue that I have noticed is my signal is more sloppy and inconsistent which may be a radio issue. I am using Sprint, but the signal has been more spotty and the reception overall has declined.
Biggest issue, battery drained so fast after update. Standby mode eat up more juice compare to Android 9. 9 was giving me 6-7 hrs SOT now it's just about 3-4 hrs SOT. Few apps which were using battery percentage half of it's usage time now using double battery.look like apps are not yet optimized for Android 10.

I've had that too, but it's not too significant, and i wouldn't worry about it for the first few days while things optimize but i also noticed slight battery drain.
Been trying to update the signals. The radio is definitely having issues for my carrier.
Pixel 3 in the Call Application, my screen goes black after call in connected and I can't seem to get the screen to become active again until call is over and I hit the power button twice. This just started after an OTA update to 10...
I updated to 10 OTA and since updating my wifi calling isn't working. Whenever I try to toggle it, it just says that it's unavailable and to try again later. I haven't performed a factory reset because it's always such a pain to do that (especially with all the accounts I have using 2FA w/ Google Authenticator).
My cell/data reception has also been significantly decreased, according to my little indicator in the notifications.
Anybody else having these issues?
My reception has always been poor with this phone so I cannot confirm our deny that it's worse on Android 10 stable.
However I ota updated from final beta to stable 10 and my phone randomly goes home while I'm using it. Really annoying when having an app open to have the home screen constantly appear.
Personally I'm having between 2 and 3 hours of SOT, and always had those stats on Android 9 too, for very basic using (no calls, no gaming, no videos, slight browsing, few SMS, etc). Hope battery will be much better for the Pixel 4...
I forgot about this. My phone initially also got stuck on the boot screen. I was like oh great here we go. Apparently it's an issue. Android 10 appears to still be in beta mode despite being released as stable.

Unbeliavable, how google tries to force you towards its search engine!! I could probably get used to thr new gestures, but not to that notorious search bar!! There is no reason to block all Launchers from working with gestures. I hope somebody will soon hack that!
you are furthering probably biggest bug of Q (not affecting everyone though, but many people)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/how-to/android-10-sensors-bug-t3964904
As I said in another thread, I have not been able to flash the factory image of either the .019 or .020 firmware. I've been doing the method of running the flash.bat file minus "-w" to prevent it from wiping my phone, using the latest SDK Platform Tools and after trying both they both cause a bootloop. My phone will attempt to boot up 2 different times and fail (assuming once for each partition, A & B?) then go back to fastboot mode.
Considering this other major bug with the sensors now not working, I guess holding off may actually a good thing for me for now.

Considering this other major bug with the sensors now not working, I guess holding off may actually a good thing for me for now.

i would definitively if i were you. not everyone is affected but some are so...
Sensors bug fixed thanks to great teamwork of many members in this forum! Solution available in sensors bug thread!!
Had no issue with sensors but am stock unrooted since the phone was purchased. From that link it appears it may be a rooting issue. I'm surprised that that it didn't go away though after wiping and reflashing stock images and relocking the bootloader

still nobody knows what caused it but according to some users it seems it happened also for people who never modified their phones (people with not unlockable bl)
It's weird, this sensor bug everyone is having i never once had sth like that, flashed the official q factory image from beta 6 via the tool-all-in-one app. What i was thinking is, does the phone have different hardware revisions ? I am with the initial rev and can't tell
Gotten at least 3 random reboots since taking. Anyone else getting periodic recent app switching freezing or random reboots?
Hello.
I have the freeze too. Random freezing from the notification. Freezing with the recent app. Sometime black wallpaper with Nova Launcher.
The Q is with bug who don't have the beta or Android 9....

Yes, I've had a few random reboots since updating. It's been happening randomly in Google maps, YouTube, etc. I don't really want to factory reset unless I have to though.
Hey guys here is an android 10 bug on my Verizon pixel 3, when I goto the recent apps and try to clear them they will all get cleared and then when I go back to it they are all still there. Anyone else having this problem?
Im using google Launcher, and when I change the gestures sometime they all clear for good but sometimes they still won't until I restart the phone.
Anyone else getting ghost touches? It started after 4 months for me. I enabled visible touches and occasionally my device will just start spamming taps everywhere.
I'm going to RMA it, just got to install stock rom first.
Installed stock and RMA'd, they replaced the display and now thr phone is on its way back.
Apparently not re-locking was a good choice, no one cared.
Hey bro, what did u do to fix your problem? Im facing the same issue on Android 11
Replaced the display (I had warranty)
After replacement, it started again. So a screen lasts 6 months, just great...
I've tried the magisk module posted in another thread, but it still happens (not every day, though).
Currently testing out the latest MIUI. Just a day in, nothing so far.
I didn't get this issue in a month of using MIUI 12.5.5, But immediately got it once after flashing ArrowOS 11.
Anyone else facing these ghost touches?
Edit: I installed Xiaomi.eu 12.5.5, let's see if I can reproduce the problem.
Finally reproduced with xiaomi.eu. Seems rare enough to live with though...
a day with xiaomi.eu, so far nothing.
arrowos unfortunately all the time
