Ghost Touch issue => Factory Warranty - Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello all,
So I know there already is a lot of writing and saying about the screen freeze en ghost touche issue we have, but I wanted to share my experience.
I have had both problems, (FTS panel) the first 4 - 5 months there were no problems what so ever but then the problems started. The screen freezes where fixed with new firmware and custom kernels ect. but ghost touches where minimal but still present and very noticeable when playing games. So in the end I decided to send my phone back to the official Xiaomi seller here in the Netherlands where I bought the phone because of the 2 years factory warranty
A little side node: Because I live in the Netherlands I'm lucky that we have strict rules ect. to protect the buyer so it was annoying that I missed my phone but I knew there would be a solution.
So the official Xiaomi seller returned the phone to the supplier (Xiaomi) for repair, and after 5 weeks (and a lot of "angry" phone calles and e-mails from me to the Xiaomi seller because of this long waiting period) I finally got a phone call with the answer; because of the 2 year warranty they just gave me a brand new Pocophone F1, so instead of replacing the screen or anything they just gave me a brand new phone. So I decided to give the Pocophone 1 more change (again an FTS panel), currently waiting so I can unluck my bootloader again. If the screen freezes are present on this phone i'm just going to ask my money back and will probably go for an OnePlus 7T or Huawei mate 30 pro (because of the unlocked bootloader). So we will see what the future brings .
If the screen feezes wil start on this phone I will update this post. But until then, good luck to all of you

I bought mine from Germany " Mediamarkt" after around 5 months couldn't stand the touch screen issue any more, return it to repair, the offered to give me my money back, but i choose to replace to new phone but with NVT panel, and since then no problems at all.
It is a good phone, the only complain is the lazy Xiaomi Developer.

Yeah me too. I'm about to send my Poco this week for repair before the warranty ends. Really sad that this great phone have so much issues!

I have also ghost touches at the top of the notch. I tried everything. Every update, every ROM, every kernel but ghost touch have been there. I lock my phone again and i sent it through warranty to service. They said me about 10 business days! Today is the 5th business day.
I really really hope to bring me a new device or my money back.

Ghost touch issues has been fixed already with open beta to Global stable .. .but i would recommend to unclocked bootloader and install OOS rom the 6T 9.0.13 @CodeElixir stable build ..The rom is amazing for gaming and good battery battery back up , no ghost touch issues ..of course supports anxcam and gcam 7.0 good for photography .. well it depends on your preferences..Good luck ! hope this might be help...
Note: Clean install is recommended...

Buying a one plus tomorrow

I'm looking to buy a 1+ tomorrow as on Tuesdays they have open invites. I sold my g2 to put towards this but have a few short questions. I know there are threads and links on xda and Google but I see a 50/50 across the board. So far I read the 1+ is a great phone..fast, good software, good build ect. My question is on the yellow banding and touch issues. Since I'll be ordering tomorrow it has been a long time since these issues have been happening. Just curious if anyone that has received one lately had any problems even past the yellow and touch. I apologize and know there are threads on this but nothing that seems recent that talks about these issues. Thanks.
I bought mine in september and i have none problems!Not touch problem nor the yellow band!Anyway i dont think there are any problem with one+
No problems here. Had mine for 2 weeks. It's a good phone. No better or worse than my M8
Awesome. Just looking to make sure the 1+ is the right move. Can't wait to join the 1+ band wagon!!
The yellow band still exists, and I've gone through three OPO already (over a period of a year now, for me, my wife and brother).
The issue did get better though, it's not as noticeable anymore and most people wouldn't even see it if they didn't have a properly configured comparison screen next to their screen.
Overall it's still the best price value deal you can snatch so you can order without having any regrets.
I did buy one in Feb and I got the yellow band, nothing fixed it like keeping it in UV light etc. But surprisingly my previous one which I bought in late august did not have the yellow band. Also I did notice the yellowing is also present in the screenshots you take on the phone so I am assuming it is rather a software/driver bug than a hardware screen issue. If it was purely a hardware it wont be visible on a screenshot like if you had a cracked screen and you took a screen shot cracks don't show up in the screenshot. I was so bothered with the yellow band ended up selling it in a week on craigslist. The new buyer did not check it so all went well.
Another point wanted to mention Opo support was hard to deal with. Even though I opened a ticket and attached the files they gave some bull**** about changing the settings updating the OS when I was already on the latest official build. I replied and next time they asked me to send a video after which they send me a zip file to flash in recovery which did nothing but just wiped my phone.
At this point in time without even having Lollipop and random screen and battery issue and a confirmed poor camera on this phone I lost all interest and just bought a LG G3 and so far very happy with it.
Ugh. That sucks for both of you. That's what scares me. My g2 is in the mail and I'm on a g pro right now which is OK but battery is insanely horrible. I'm gonna bite the bullet and buy the 1 and hope for the best. Every review I see is mostly a praise on the phone so hopefully I get that.
My dad and I both got one recently. My dad about 2 weeks ago and mine just barely a week ago. No issues here as far as we can tell. Though I should point out ours are the China versions which originally had ColorOS instead of CM. But they all should come from the same factory anyway...

About "New" oneplus one

Hi to everyone, after a sad story with a LG Nexus 4 that i bought from a guy i am back to my old (and dear) Galaxy Nexus but now, he is totally messed up... i can't use it anymore..
So i am planning to buy the oneplus but i read on the internet about the annoying touch screen bug (that is a hardware bug, so i think it is very hard to fix with a update or whatever).
At this point, the question is: the new stock (I mean the new production line of smartphone) of OnePlus one, still have this bug ?
I love oneplus one, i really love this phone.. great designe, great components, great price but i am very scared about the touchscreen bug!
Also, i won't wait the new oneplus becouse it will be for sure pricier that the One and it will be released theorically the last 3 month of 2015...
Thank you for any suggestions
A presto

I bought 1+1 last week and i dont have this touchscreen issues, afaik only minority of users are concerned by this problem, for me its working smooth on stock and custom roms [emoji106]
I did not have the touch screen issue for almost half a year. As far as I can explain it started happening when the temperature outside got warmer, even if it is much colder again, the issue persists.
I need to flash the new Ak kernel with the new touchscreen firmware, which has been released yesterday and check if the problem still exists....
But what I wanted to tell you is that I did not have the touchscreen problem first.
Many thanks.. i am very near to buy it it...
Today there is a spicel price sale but actually i can't place order

Have bought my 1+1 about 3 weeks ago. No problem with touchscreen. There's no yellow band on the screen. Everything works pretty well! Lollipop is awesome! One thing you should know. If you're buying a white version, it's a little bit slippy and also quickly scratches and gets dirty.
Why would you buy this bug riddled phone at this point?

What bugs are you talking about?
Actually there is only one "bug" at touchscreen but is not a default bug and they can fix it in warranty.
For many people the touchscreen issues might be caused by a hardware problem. If it really was software after more than a year it should have been solved.
I wanted to let you know that it seems the touchscreen problem is gone after latest CM 12.1 nightly with integrated touchscreen firmware update.

Don't take notice, it isn't riddled with bugs. I've had two for almost a year and have zero issues. Most "bugs" are caused by people who don't know what they're doing.

I have 2 OnePlus, One is bought for almost a year till now, I think it's the first batch one, China version, it does have yellow band issues, but no touch screen issues at all, and the second OPO I bought early this year is Nov 2014 batch, no touchscreen issues or yellow band problem, so I guess the problem has been solved in new batch production line.
I bought the one+1 the last november and I had this two bugs: low volume in/out (solved), yellow band. I also suspect that the display quality degrades over time, compare with the other phones I had. Anyway it's a 300 $ phone, well suppported by android development. My opinion, the value for money is still excellent.
I got my OPO second hand in November '14 and its been great. Don't have the yellow screen issue and dont have any touch issues. At the end of the day which phone hasn't suffered from a software/hardware problem at some stage or another. And I'm talking about the big flagships, you check their forums and you'll see people complaining about this and that. Not all users have problems, sometimes its just luck of the draw. I can understand peoples frustrations with trying to return the device and/or dealing with Oneplus customer services. Hopefully the latest firmware update that seems to have been merged in the latest nightly will fix issues for people with problems once and for all.
Honestly i think a properly firmware update could fix an little hardware problem.
Anyway i got my new 1+1 and i can't see any problem atm, no yellow band, lound volume, touch works great, i really hope for the best becouse for 299€ is soo worth!
I bought my OnePlus One in March 2015 and I unfortunately got the touchscreen bug. I have since been issued an RMA and I am waiting for them to receive my phone, and then I should be sent a replacement after that. I really hope I don't get the touchscreen issue again.

I'm pretty sure my touchscreen problems were triggered from a hot day too (quite rare in the UK). When I receive my new phone, ill make sure to keep it out of direct sunlight!
There is no touchscreen bug.

One Plus One Touchscreen

Hey guys, I want to buy a "defective" OPO for 100$. The sellers told me that a part of the touchscreen (about 13%) is not working. He says it works every once in a while but it is really rare. I was wondering if I would be able to fix this trough a Kernel or a ROM update (he runs CM12S) or if I need to change the screen completely. The guy says he had the phone for 2 months and he hasn't try to fix it because he has an iPhone (LOL)
Thanks for your answers!

Don't think how low u have to pay for opo but must think is it usable
Nearly 20% users complaining about touch issues like
1)ghost touch
2)unresponsive screen etc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/ghost-touches-invisible-finger-t2832822
OPO tried to solve this by firmware updates but they still not fully able to manage it
New firmware with improved kernel solved lot more touch issues but draining battery a lot for most people's
So its u r decision buy or not to buy but three possibilities are
1) buy if u don't care about u r money if problem not got solved
2)buy if screen problem is not due to any hardware issues because if yes u have to replace whole screen which cost 200$
3)if its software problem then u should know most of android rooting/ flashing /custom roms/custom kernels to recover problems
If its software problem then these are some solution

I bought an oneplus one with a broken screen on ebay.
Bought an replacement display with frame and some cheap tools for 50€ on aliexpress.
Replaced the broken screen + frame withing one hour. It was my first attempt to open up a smartphone ever.
Only problematic part was the earpiece, which I almost destroyed.
And also the lower antenna (which is fixed with double sided adhesive tape) bent a little bit.
But besides that it was very easy to dismantle the Oneplus One and to replace the screen/frame combo.
Compared to my other One the new screen looks absolutely identical. Only the earpiece grille is slightly different.
So. My conclusion. If your are able to unscrew a smartphone and are not completely lacking fine motoric skills, you can have a cheap Oneplus One. Watch the tutorials vids on youtube and the photos on ifixit.
cheers!
Edit:
Ah and yes. With my One the screen was shattered and not working.
So I have to agree to my previous speaker. It could also be some other part of the hardware not working. It's always a risk. But I assume, that by replacing the whole screen/frame, probably the digitizer problems should be solved.

I also wanted to mention that I also experienced ghost touch issues with my first Oneplus One.
Thats why I orderd a replacement screen in the first place. Then, in the meantime, until the display arrived, Oneplus released a firmware update and my ghost touch issues vanished.
But. I never had parts completely not responding on my screen. It was "only" a ghost touch issue.
i have it
Hey guys, i finally bought thé phone and the u, thé j and the n keys works 1 out of 10 times. Si it is not completely broke. How tout dix that?
Download YAMTT from play store. Test if you can paint everywhere on the screen.
yamtt
no I can't there is a small bar on the right that is not working
Probably a broken digitizer. I.'ve never read of anybody fixing this with a Software update. On the other hand, I'm not an expert...

Any known issues?

Hey guys. Have currently ordered my new 12 gb one plus 7 pro nebula blue and I can't wait till it arrives but had a quick question for everyone......
Has anyone noticed any major or minor bugs or glitches on the phone?
I'm coming from a huawei p20 pro and I know the os and everything is going to feel fluid and google like but it's a major step for one plus to go to a curved display and 2k display and 90 hertz display so it could be little experimental but I was just wondering if anyone was having any issues with the phone if they don't mind sharing. I would love to know.
I'm sorry if I put a duplicate thread but didn't notice a thread with bugs and issues.
And I did see online that people were experiencing "phantom" touches issues and was wondering if anyone else was having that issue and what I need to do to avoid it from happening to my phone.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I actually have ghost touch issues, and it seems a lot of people also got it, if not everyone. But due to the fact it happens under some condition, not everybody seems to be aware of it. You have to run your screen at 90Hz, with NFC enable, and launch some specific apps like CPU-Z or reddit for it to happens, because it seems the issue come from the NFC. I heard it was a software issue and Oneplus is working on it, and I hope it is, because if it's an hardware issue, I will sell my phone.
Well, if you can deal with this ATM, this is a very nice phone, I sold my S10 to get this one and I'm absolutely not disappointed!

So if I understood correctly. You're saying it is possible because of nfc connection being on?
It disappears if nfc is off? I barely use nfc anyways so hopefully my phone will be fine.
And hopefully it is software and not hardware issue. That would suck as I can't return it where I am atm and will have to wait a month or so before I can if it's hardware issue.
And to my understanding.... Oneplus had a software update that improved camera and performance etc... Did you install it and have you noticed the ghost issue gone or still present in the new update?
Thanks for the update

From my understanding the phantom touches issue is very rare. I havent havent had the issue. The only bug I have noticed is when a phone call ends, youre always taken back to the homescreen. So if youre on twitter or playing a game, once the call ends any app will auto close. Its annoying but nothing crazy and will most likely be fixed soon.

First time hearing about that one. But thanks for you input.
Not a deal breaker for me but I can see how that can get annoying.
Have you or anyone noticed the earpiece random noises when on the call like other people have?
Or it's just device specific?
I bought the phone Friday when it came out. So I'm scared I bought the phone too soon and I might get more bugs on my phone that anyone else's but only time will tell when I get the device in hand.
(I ordered it early but since I'm in Africa right now, I had to ship it to USA international then ship from there to me using a third party delivery shipping service. That's why I haven't received the phone yet and have been waiting for a while)

That's good. Fingers crossed mine doesn't have any issues. My first oneplus device.
I've always wanted oneplus for their speed and oxygen os.
And the 7 pro really sold me with the 90hertz and that amazing speed and display.
I can't wait for the device to come in.
When did you buy and get the device? Ddi you guys order on Friday when it got out on the store like me or were you guys at the pop up event in New York or other places?

Yeah this is my first OnePlus device as well. I just switched from a Note 8 so I was already used to the edge display and I can say the edge display on this device is much better. The speed with 90hertz is also amazing and you can really tell the difference from 60hertz. The display is also great. With the front camera hidden inside the phone, the phone really feels like it is all display. Also the phone gets really bright making it easier to see in direct light and the night mode to tone down the blue light.... The greatest. I have sensitive eyes so looking at bright things at light was a rarity for me but this device can get really dark compared to phones Ive used in the past.
Anyways, I bought the phone the Friday when it went on sale. I had a lot of faith in OnePlus after hearing it do so well the past few years so I took the chance and got it.

Yea those are some of the reasons I got the phone as well. I'm coming from a used huawei p20 pro, a phone my brother passed on to me when he got the new mate 20 pro.
I've never bought a new phone. My first phone I ever bought was on contract which was the LG g4. Loved the curved back but screen didn't last for me (only one year in a 3 year contract at the time) then was using my back up phones until my brother gave me his p20 pro.
I've always wanted to try a curved screen display rather than curved back.
And I've been following one plus for a while, (I even got a referral for the oneplus one when they had a refferal service) but ended up selling it to someone else because I didn't trust oneplus back then but then after the other devices from one plus came out then I slowly gained interest.
And this oneplus 7 pro really caught my attention but these issues and bugs everyone is experiencing is really scaring me. If it's a hardware issue then I would have to take a long process to return the phone and I really don't want to do that.
Really hope it's a software issue and can get fixed in a future software update.
Or if I don't get the issues at all then that would be even better. Fingers crossed and will update the forum when my phone comes in.
I don't use the cpu app nor do I use nfc. So hopefully I don't encounter the issues but let's see. You never know
And how is the new update? Worth updating or made it worse?
Usually it's better but some people have been experiencing issues idk
Would love your input whether to skip that update when my phone comes or to download it right away

Is it worth buying over a display dead Oneplus 6?

Hello guys, I need some advice on purchasing Oneplus Nord. My apologies if I violate any community guidelines.
I own an oneplus 6 and its display got damaged. I own it since its launch and I am a heavy user and it has seen its fair share of wear and tear. I also have old moto g5s plus running custom rooms which I only use for android app development.
The new Oneplus Nord does look compelling for the price but in the market, I see realme phones with snapdragon 855 chipsets. I do rely on custom ROMs once the manufacturers update window passes but I am not a die-hard Rom hopper.
Please suggest me if it is a good idea to purchase the OnePlus Nord to use it for the next 2 to 3 years with stock OS and then use it for development purpose with a custom ROM.
OR should I just replace the Oneplus 6 screen and call it a day??
PS: I have never experience 90Hz screen refresh rate.
Thank you
How much would the screen repair cost you? I personally wouldn´t do it if it´s ~100$.
Is your OP6 still usable? Then why not use it for develpment and get a Nord. You can always mirror/stream the OP6 display onto your PC if it´s too damaged and use it that way.
i have a OP5 with display issue as well.. the original touch screen went unresponsive three months ago.. display was fine though.. i checked OP repair and they charged HK$23xx (around US$300) for replacing the touch screen, the motherboard and the battery, so basically everything except the frame.. i chose to replace with a 3rd party touch screen for HK$700 (around US$90).. it worked for 3 months and then the touch screen did not respond again.. now i understand why OP repair quoted to replace the motherboard as well as i think its not just the display part but also fault in the main component..
now im using this OP5 exactly as @Saiger mentioned, connecting it to PC via USB cable and control it from the PC..
had considered OP7 and OP8 but their prices are beyond my acceptable range.. kept an eye on Nord and now its finally announced.. the spec seems good (not top grade but good for my usage) and price is okay.. so i shall definitely get it in Aug when its available..
just wanna share my experience for your reference..

Yes, that is my fear also. I had a Micromax(Indian Phone Company) phone with dead display and after replacement, the touch went crazy. So I am afraid to repair my Oneplus 6.
Thankfully I will be giving interviews for some jobs soon. And in India OP will launch a 6/64 GB variant. Depending on my job I'll make the decision.
Thanks for replying.
