I feel your pain. My situation is absolutely the same. I beleive it could have started after I used the chinese car charger and power bank on vacation. Did you use something like that?

The problem is in the touchscreen firmware and the fix have to be released from synaptics and not frome Oneplus.
The fact is that it may take a few or a long time based on the issue and it may be enven never be fixed, who knows.
As now i am really disappointed. They should have never release da device knowing of such a major bug.

No, nothing related to the charger tho haha. the problem started as soon as i turn on the phone for the first time and it went crazy like that since then. i flashed almost every rom on here still no good. i flashed fusionjack slimsaber rom earlier and it really improved alot . you might want to check that rom out.i'm gonna stick w/ slimsaber for a while now i guess

Thx for the advice. For me the issue seems to be solved randomly when I restored the 33R in Twrp. However some other problems remain: like not getting back to the mobile Internet after leaving the wifi area or loseing the network at all ( curable by switching on and off the airplane mode or rebooting respectively).
My phone is cursed really xD

I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but when you run a touch screen test, does it work with more than one touch? IE is multitouch working? I had an issue the other day and I resolved it by turning off the phone, attaching it to the charger and then turning it back on (read it on the oneplus forum). It is a known issue and they are working on bringing us the fix.
Hope this is helpful.

I have this issue too, although it's been mitigated somewhat by the most recent software patches they pushed in 30O and 33R. I'm on a CM nightly at the moment and it's certainly usable. I made the issue a lot better by disabling haptic feedback in the SwiftKey settings - it almost feels like that extra effort to run the vibrating motor causes the screen to respond badly or something.

Is it doing this?

If so this is what mine is doing and it's soooo annoying trying to type.

http://www.androidheadlines.com/201...ti-touch-issues-oneplus-one-fix-incoming.html

Some-not me, have been able to mitigate the problem by running a code through terminal emulator.
This has been brought up in CM bug log as Bacon 55.
You don't have to be rooted to do this.
Type: su (if you're rooted)
Type: cat /sys/class/input/input0/baseline_test
Press enter.
Note that you will need to do this every time you reboot your phone.
Credits to a member on jira cm. Forgot to name! Hope it works for you

I've tried everything and everything failed.
Let's hope synaptics pushes out a fix soon. I can't stand this issue. Basically two different touches near each other are recognized as a swype -_-'

i did a test using multitouch test app. i use 1 finger touch on the phone and got a red dot, finger #2 gave me a blue dot . as soon as my 2 fingers get close together 1 of the dot disappear, also test w/ 4 5 fingers same result .thats why if you text really fast , you get alot of missing words and sometime it lag and get stuck.

I think that until this gets fixed the phone will be not ready to be sold,too...

Is this phone worth purchasing since customer service is not readily available. I'm not sure if I want to spend my money and not be able to get quality customer service. What are your thoughts?

As long as the touchscreen issue is not fixed the phone has to be considered to be bugged and faulty. I would not spend my money on a defective phone at a very few weeks from N6 release that will be a superior terminal by far.
Even if it gets fixed it will be not worthy the same as N& is near to come anyways.
I wish i didn't buy mine.

Thanks, I started becoming more concerned because users have been paying long wait times for service and possibly having to ship back to China at the customers cost. That's a bad deal.

Definitely. I would stay away from this thing.
And by the way who knows if the ghost touches/swypes problem is not even a software issue just as the multitouch not working when placing the phone on a non-conductive surface...

Coming from HTC One M8 - Not sure I should buy the OPO

Hi,
I would like to replace my HTC One M8 with a second hand OPO.
I keep reading about problems with this device, mainly the yellow screen issue.
If I am to buy this device, I would like to make sure it isn't suffering from these issues.
How can I try to reproduce the yellow screen issue? Can I check if the device is suffering from it in a 10 min overview?
Also, what else would you have me check for before I can commit?
Thanks in advance for your quick responses.
D.

You will notice if it has the yellow tint in 30 seconds. Mine has considerably diminished over the course of a month. Aside from it I find nothing to fault in this device.

Mine disappeared with in a few days of use. And i have htc one m8 Also and never touched it since I got a oneplus one so yes its worth the upgrade

Thank you both.
So you don't experience any of the problems on this forum?
It seems like every time I log in there's a new thread with different problem ?

If you have a HTC m8 i would pass and get a N6. No point in buying an already old device at so a few time before the next nexus.
I have problems with the touchscreen. OP is going to fix them with the new touchscreen firmware but i've read on some threads that the fix isn't 100% resolutive...

Touchscreen problem solved with the last update from franco kernel r17 my friend

The speakers on the M8 are SO much better than the OPO too, but that's an obvious point!

I know! I haven't already tried the patch so I was not telling wrong info, glad it is sorted out anyways!
Btw the n6 thing is still legit and I would think about it ! Next Google phone will also have a smaller screen which is better imho

Well, if you're not having any issues, there's no need to start a thread...So yes, of course you see allot of threads from people with problems
Most of us have no problems whatsoever though.
I personally have allot of friends who own this phone and none of us have the yellow screen issue.

Yep, I agree. Only the people with problems are whining.

The yellow band does not go away, it comes and goes in varying degrees. I'm not sure what makes it change, I'm thinking temperature. Anyway, I should know as I've bought 4 four OPO's so far I still have my original from mid July that I gave to my bro, sold one for profit, returned a faulty one, and currently have a new one for myself from mid August. The one from July still has the yellow band nothing's changed, but the one from August is almost unnoticeable and is the best one so far. You never know what you're gonna get from OnePlus, their quality control is atrocious, but you have options. If you don't like it, you can sell it for a small profit, or you can compromise and keep it since it's still pretty damn good for $350.

I had the yellow thing but its gone lol

I'm in the same boat as the OP, I have an M8 Dev Edition converted to GPe.

The more I see the endless customizations the opo has to offer, the more I want one.
It is the number of unique problems that I am concerned about. I realize this is a troubleshooting forum, but it feels like there's a new bug for every phone they sold ?

I came from an iPhone 5s to an Xperia Z2 to the OPO and its fantastic, what you read regarding problems are just a minute % of the people who owns the device that are experiencing problems, this is true for EVERY single device. The majority however are probably not experiencing any issues are are oblivious of any issues. The issues i had was the multi-touch issue and battery drain issue which was resolved with firmware 33R, i also have the yellow band at the bottom of the screen but if i hadn't read about it i wouldn't have noticed it that's how inconspicuous it is.

Yes, think its going to be firmware xxx36R or something in that line, this is great news for everyone who still had touch issues after 33R. For me 33R fixed the touch issue almost completely but i always welcome updates even if only for the smallest bug fixes so i cant wait.:fingers-crossed:

For me, it was improved but with the newest update it makes the screen more responsive and I can type fast again. And now theres ANOTHER touch screen firmware that just came out <1 hour ago.

[Q] HELP! touchscreen issues

hi everyone - not a new issue, but seems like most ppls phone has this figured out now after 44s.
Getting ghost touches and very slow/laggy scroll/swipe response...basically have to press and drag the finger to get anything working.
Currently running stock CM11s 44s with a locked bootloader, completely flashed back to stock using the zip file from cyanogens website. but i have tried CM, Omni, paranoid, and have tried diff kernels including franco, but it doesnt seem to wanna work.
here is a link to my screencast - kinda hard to see but i tried to record what happns when i imitate typing.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1quWiDbFcajdkdTaGhwZzc4M1k/view?usp=sharing
any help would be appreciated! i have seen other posts on this, but nothing seems to be working! what am i missing!?!? :crying:

I have seen other people complain about this and it seems to be a bug, there is no fix at the moment. Wipe the screen clean with a microfiber/lint free cloth while the phone is off. If you think it's hardware damage then use your warranty and send it in.

hmm. I have contacted one plus and have submitted a ticket a while ago, but they are extremely slow in responding. its been over 20days now. Since the touchscreen works fine for the first 15 20mins, i thought it would be a software issue that i could somehow fix....

There will be a new Touchscreen firmware soon

nice!! where did u hear/read this? any ideas when?

[Q][H]Touchscreen issue

Hi All,
During the last couple of weeks, with different ROMs I've been experiencing some touch screen issues. I feel like there is a 0.5s delay/lag on the touches which makes using the phone annoying. I can barely type and touches are not really accurate.
Not sure if there is any good app for testing the touchscreen, but I tried one (Test Touch) and as far as I can see, touches are not registered or are intermittently registered when fast touching the screen. (See Video). When I slowly drag the finger, a continuous line is traced.
I couldn't find anyone else having the same issue hence I'm posting this. Thanks for the help.
Current ROM: Temasek's UNOFFICIAL Build, 10.1, CM 12.1 .
Stock kernel.
Edit: Ram use is always lower than 50% and CPU usage is low.

You're not the only one- I opened a thread about this. Seems as something happened as people updated to android 5.x as did with me.
Hopefully someone can figure something out!
Seems more like an input lag- like you mentioned. Really annoying and makes it hard to type fast or use swype function.

I've been having this issue too! I thought it was the ROM, but I am on my second one now with the same touch lag . I didn't have the issue in 5.0, though. I might consider downgrading and hope that that fixes my issue. Any help on this would be much appreciated

Happy to know I am not the only one having this issue , good that we are on the same boat.
I'm travelling in a few days and can't go abroad with the phone in this "working" conditions so I will have to downgrade for sure. Any 5.0 ROM to recommend? A solution for 5.1 would be better

haha I was on Blisspop for a long time before moving to 5.1, it's a fantastic ROM!

I flashed Slim ROM, touches delay improved a bit but I was experiencing some lag on the hardware keys.
I just flashed last bacon firmware (from April 09) and RobbieL811 ROM and seems to be running smoothly, I wonder if it was a firmware issue. Thoughts?

Right, I have the same bloody problem, and I'm seriously thinking of going back to kit kat. What the hell happened, it worked perfectly. Does everybody have an unlocked bootloader? COS12 worked ok, lagged when hot, only after I unlocked the bootloader did it all go to ****. I just hope it'll go back to normal on KK and it isn't a permanent thing now..

I have an unlocked bootloader and have moved from 11S to 12S and find its a lot better. I've seen people say they find the update better and some who have issues but your boot loader shouldnt really come into it. How did you update, what did you do since unlocking your bootloader?

Went with COS12 for a while, then tried a 5.1 rom and it started going down from there. COS12 lagged a lot when the phone was charging, it got very hot for a while, and then cooled down. I don't know why touchscreen issues started happening, it worked ok for some time after installing 5.1, then for instance the settings app started scrolling slowly, the notification panel as well, some touches stopped being registered.. It's a weird issue, because it's not lagging, like skipping or so, but mostly it feels like the phone is in slow motion.

Same happens to mine.
I flashed 3 different ROMs today, 5.1 and 5.0, it was working fine for a few hours with one of them but after that It started with serious problems, to the point of nearly not registering any touch. After a reboot it improved a bit but it makes the phone unusable. I'm flying abroad in less than 12hrs and really need the phone.
Flashing a stock ROM or going to kit kat are the only options I see now.
Edit: Here I found some useful post, they state it's hardware not software.

we're not alone man, multiple threads are popping up with people suffering from similar issues, including on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/33ky0u/open_post_to_oneplus_with_all_our_love_and/

I am having the same severe issues as well.
The nightmare begun after the 05Q update.
Ever since that update, no matter what I've tried, the touch problem is here.
I've tried numerous Roms + kernels combinations with no use.
OP support was trying twice to reset my phone to full factory reset to both Oxygen & CM11s with no use.
That is so frustrating.

i have the same problem, but only when i go outside and the weather is nice

Touch Isn't working *Screen NOT cracked*

Hello, so i had my OnePlus one for a while and just recently i dropped it lucky the screen didn't crack and opens up just fine but the touch stopped working is there a fix for this? And how do i go about it.. I'm currently in Egypt so there isn't really any replacements and anyone who knows much about this device to be able to repair it at a decent price. I would like to fix it on my own, and i honestly hope its just a wire unplugged or something..
Thanks.

If you're screen stopped working after dropping it, it is most likely damaged. Dropping it will not cause any rom to malfunction and stop touch from working. It may be a loose connection, or if you got the device used from somewhere, the screen may have once been replaced and the replacement may not be as good as the original (which by no means was perfect either).

It happened to me. Open your opo, disconnect and then reconnect the screen.
