Ghost Touches

Hi all,
On my moto G3 , I have been receiving annoying ghost touches every now and then on my phone when browsing XDA on Chrome . I looked into the issues further and downloaded a ghost touch tester, which displays different patterns. On a few of the patterns, the ghost touches start to happen . Could this be the start of the end of my moto g ??
I tried resetting, flashing stock rom , virtually everything
except removing my tempered glass screen protector.
Is this bug here for everyone ?? by the way , the app I used was Ghost Touch Tester, and its the one with the 4 arrows pointing in Pattern 6 seems to mess up when swiping around. if someone could test it on their moto g , they would be amazing !
Thanks so much if anyone has any answers or solutions

Are you talking about when scrolling or swiping something and the phone occasionally recognizes it as a tap, or something else? Happens to most of use from time to time, often in Chrome and Google+, have just kind of gotten used to it I guess... It has been noted by many people that the G does this sometimes.

I'll try it later, working driving delivery for the next 6 hours or so... If I get time I'll try on my break though

Thanks bro . I don't need an instant reply , so don't worry about using your break to do it !

I have tested the app and found on pattern 3 there were ghost touches.

I tried tons of taps on each pattern, occasionally I would see a ghost touch on a few of the patterns, but it was pretty rare... On the patterns that it would occur, maybe 1 ghost touch for every 30-40 random taps, that concerned me a bit so I had tried the app on my son's Huawei Ascend Mate 2 and interestingly the results were the same with occasional ghost touches here and there. Also tried it on a Samsung Galaxy S5, nothing on that one, couldn't get a single ghost touch to register.
Not sure what all that means, if anything... Is that what you wanted to know?

That's brilliant, thanks although most of the problems were with swiping not tapping

Hmm... Tried it, really don't see an issue with swiping (not sure I would really if the touch is occurring under the swipe) but the Swipe registers as touch/tap occasionally us kind of common on the G3.

Yes

Yes, that's how the test works... I'm not sure how valid this test is though, it's designed to show a very specific "flaw" in the 2nd Gen Nexus 7, which actually turned out later to be a software bug that was fixed.

Same issue + bump! BTW, for me it's only on Marshmallow ROM!

I'm getting this since the MM update and it's made a good phone a terrible phone. I'm on a Moto G2 2GB/16GB. Factory reset did not help whatsoever.

Even i have the same issue.. my phone starts touching here and there by its own

remove screen protector.
solve problem.
replace screen protector.

Random freeze issues?

Hey, do you guys get random freeze issues, like not opening any apps, or randomly freezes the phone for 10 secs ?

No

No problems with mine.

Nope. Smooth like hot butter.

Yes, I'm also facing same issue.
Phone stops responding. Seems like processes are not managed well. Also sometimes thick horizontal line appears on the screen while this is happening.

Yes, very annoying.
I really hope it will be fixed in a software update soon
Bought mine in Denmark

LOL guys, it's not an update you are waiting... You have an isolated problem, it's not a rom issue but for sure an app/service issue because you have debloat or tweak something.
Reset untouched stock rom, test during one or two days, you will see if it's stable or if your problem is back

Edit: XDA app issues

Not at all! I have no root and fully stock and I got the same issue twice yesterday.
User app issue + hard reset is rarely the solution in my 10 years of Android experience.

I also faced this issue with the OnePlus Laucher app. My whole phone freezes and after a few seconds I see "OnePlus launcher stops working" I joined the beta a few months earlier. After leaving the beta for the app my phone stops freezing. Maybe you also have this same problem with the beta?

Same here, pretty annoying

Multitouch is not working at all with my wife's phone. Literally took out of its box three days ago. Google sucks.

How are you guys testing if multi-touch is working or not?
If multi-touch wasn't working, wouldn't that mean that pinch/zoom would not work because it requires two (multi) touch points?

I have also tried enabling point location in dev options still only reads 1 touch , also going to android 10 does fix all touch issues, but I'd rather have android 11

Thanks!

Android 11

Having wierd issues with my pixel 2 xl.
Running last Android 11 update.
Currently on custom ROM.
Tried Lineageos 18, pixel experience 11 but same problem.
Sometimes its impossible to text also.
Been happily using my phone from almost 2 years.
Having this issue recently.
Tested without Mobile cover and screen guard.
While typing this, everything seems normal but issue do arises from time to time.
Plz help me out here.
I have uploaded a video name "Pixel 2 XL touch issue" on youtube by username Mohammed Shaikh

That is unfortunate, but you are in the wrong subforum since this is for the Pixel 4a.
Your issue belongs to one of the Pixel 2 XL subforums.

Widespread Pixel 4a issue. Uding official Android 10 is the only known workaround that works for multiple users.

Question Question for OP 9 owners.

So I have this weird scrolling issue, like the one on this video:
Can someone please test if their phone does the same? I will replace the phone if this turns out to be a hardware fault. Thanks!

Hi,
I have the same issue on my OP9. But if I hadn't seen this video, I would never have known there was such a problem. Like in your video, problem exists only in stock launcher.

Alright, thank you! Yes it is a minor issue, but still quite annoying (at least for me and my way of using the device). Hopefully they will fix as it soon, as it seems to be happening only on the base non-pro 9 model.

First thing i do is install NOVA launcher. So never noticed an issue.

This happenes throughout the device, regardless of the launcher used. Can you please try replicating the steps as shown in the video?

I did didn't notice any problem. But reading the previous post said only occurred in stock launcher which i uninstalled

I've lowered my animations to 0.25 with joneplus tool so that may make a difference as well

Okay, that's weird. Maybe I'm just too sensitive but scrolling feels off to me because of this.
Also, are you using the preinstalled screen protector?

Nope, didn't come with one. Got phone from t-mobile this time. Using one from Amazon forget which brand

Thanks for all the info so far! Just one more thing, could you please test it again, but keep your finger still for at least a second before flicking.
I am really sorry to bother you with this, but I am going to replace the phone, if yours turns out to be ok. I'm just paranoid that you might have missed it because it's so subtle.

In Nova the app drawer is side to side, but no issue there and in trying up and down in couple apps no issue . Even tested keyboard and virtually instant response using exact same keys from video. P0qla no delay at all

Alright, something is wrong with mine then... Or maybe the T-mobile version of the phone doesn't have this bug, since it uses a slightly different software.

Yeah could be. Maybe t-mobile turned down the touch rejection.
