Greeting everyone,
It has been almost a months with my Poco x3 pro.
I am currently on MIUI.eu 12.5.4.0 ROM.
Though when I was on official MIUI 12.0.* I did not notice the issue, Then I got the update version of MIUI 12.5.3.
I was happy to install it. And then I noticed my proximity sensor was not working while on call,
And then I noticed even my light sensor for auto brightness was also now working.
Even magnetic sensor stopped working.
I did a quick google and found that multiple users are facing similar issue.
Then I thought it was a ****ty MIUI, so i decided to boot unlock my device.
I waited 7 days and then rooted my phone and quickly made a backup of my efs and persist.img file. Glad I did Cuz i am already into flashing ROM stuff.
I thought that issue was from buggy ROM(MIUI).
and also restarting the phone would fix the issue for certain interval and from nowhere the same issue arise.
Then i flashed TWRP and install the PixelPlus UI 3.8 and found that the issue remains the game.
And from nowhere i started to get ghost touch only during call. I made a quick setting changes to show touch on screen and made a test.
i found that the ghost touch happen on bottom left of the screen and screen doesn't go off cuz proximity doesn't work.
and i thought the ROM was meshed up so i reflashed the Stock fastboot ROM 12.5.3.0 and boom there was no ghost touch on MIUI.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Main issue even after clean flash the issue remains the same.
I even tried to install the eu rom but still remains the sam.
So i thought it was the time to restore the persist.img
and I did it today.
I am still waiting for the result after flasing the stock persist.img.
------------------Question--------------------
Is there any way to fix this issue?
I have found that not all users face same issue.
Xiaomi just noticed this issue and is planning to push the update for Poco X3 not POCO x3 pro.
really need help.

Hi, do you have a tempered glas with a dark frame installed? If you have it installed take it off, it blocks all this sensors.

My nexus s' proximity sensors have stopped working. I am rooted and running aokpcb rom, I'm wondering if this is a hardware problem or something with the rom? The screen won't turn off when answering / making a call when the phone is brought up to my ear. I also tried using the app prox pro, and that wouldn't work either. If anyone knows a fix or what the problem is, that would be great.
Backup your current ROM , wipe and install a Stock ROM.
Issue solved --> Rom Issue
Issue unsolved --> hardware issue
Thank you for your response. I tried your suggestion, and the problem wasnt fixed with wiping and installing a stock rom. But, with experimentation, I installed the app "Prox Pro" and whenever I would turn it on, it would execute the command that was specified for when the phone was "flat". So, when realising this, I am assuming that my phone developed some sort of calibration problem with the sensors. All in all, I am wondering if there is a way that I can re-calibrate my proximity sensor so that they work properly. Thank you.
Could that just be the default for the phone if it's not getting a reading?
I don't think its the default. The sensors always worked fine up until sometime last week.
I meant a default if there is no signal or an error, which is what it currently looks like.
Oh, okay, ya that could be it. Do you have any idea how to change it? I also realised that the light sensor isn't working either, when on auto brightness, the screen will always be dim, no matter how bright it is outside. If you, or anyone else has a solution, I will open up my phone and check to see if there are any connection issues or something like that .
Hello all, I've been having a problem with the fingerprint sensor and have no idea where the problem comes from.
As you can see from my comment history, I had a problem with LOS15 being unable to find my fingerprint sensor. I thought it was a bug with the ROM so I just went back to OOS and thought nothing of it.
Today, I decided to do a clean install of Android 10 beta. Fingerprint isn't working again... I rolled back with latest fastboot OOS ROM, fingerprint still wasn't working.
Downloaded MSM and went back to stable 9.0.2 - fingerprint working. Updated it to 9.0.9 - still working. Updated to 10 - not working again.
Tried the same but went from 9.0.2 to Beta 25 and then flashing 10 again, fingerprint not working again.
I'm at a complete loss, dialing *#808# and doing both fingerprint tests shows the sensor is working, but nothing happens when I touch it. Now, I have to go back to 9.0.2 with MSM and then go back to beta 25. Lost the whole day thanks to this and still can't understand why it's doing this.
I am sure it is not because of the beta itself because noone else has mentioned anything in the OpenBeta thread and because it also happened when I tried LOS.
This essentially means I'm stuck at Beta 25 or stable 9.0.9 and also that I won't be able to use custom ROMs at all.
I had the same issue, it was faulty finger print sensor. Had to get it replaced

It can't be a faulty sensor, I think... If it was faulty then how does it work now when I got back on Android 9 ? It makes absolutely no sense and it's starting to make me hate this phone.
Hello everyone, I have a fairly new OnePlus 7 Pro (GM1910) and needed to root it for something. I was on the latest OxygenOS, 10.3 and rooted it after several attempts. However, I wasn't able to do what I needed on OxygenOS 10 so I downgraded to OxygenOS 9. Rooted again, did everything I needed and formatted the phone several times, installed OxygenOS 10.0.3.GM21AA. I also re-locked the bootloader.
The issue is that whenever I launch my stock camera app, it tries to load image from the camera but then crashes before showing anything from the camera. Camera works in Instagram, WhatsApp and some other apps just fine, as well as during face recognition. In addition, rotation sensor doesn't work at all. Auto-rotate on and off, it just doesn't work. Finally, the proximity sensor doesn't work either. It doesn't turn off the screen when I'm on a call and hold the phone near my face. It doesn't change screen brightness when it's on auto.
These all happened at once. I believe it all started around when I was first trying to root the phone with Magisk on OxygenOS 10.3. I used the phone on OxygenOS 9 with and without root, these 3 problems were also there. Now I'm on OxygenOS 10.0.3, unrooted, bootloader locked but problems still exist. It's driving me crazy having all these issues even after turning everything back to stock, factory settings. I spent 4 days on this whole process and ended up with these annoying problems...
I can provide any additional information you need. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if you can just direct me towards the right direction to identify why I'm having these problems.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Update: The camera app just started working after another factory reset. A little off topic but now I'm having another weird issue where the Android Setup doesn't see my last Google Drive backup but sees the older ones from a few days ago.
Hi all,
Just got this Mi Note 10 today and while setting up the phone I started to get those weird screen touches..
Happened so often that I enabled 'Show Taps' via developer options and recorded it here:

>> Is there anything I can do about this? Not sure if this is a Hardware or Software fault?
Any thoughts welcome!
thanks

Okay, this is weird. Which version is it? And did you have already tried to reset your device? If it's still there it's probably a hardware defect.

Well, I had the same MIUI version and region. I bet it's not a software problem. Just send it back

Right, so no fix really... disappointing as the cameras are impressive
My device came shipped with Android Pie Based Miui 11, no screen weirdness. Just after the Android 10 updates that ghost touches appear. So I guess it's just software bug.
me too, sure software problem.
Thanks for the feedback, if software-related were you able to roll back to fix this?
Happy to try a workaround as I'm very reluctant to send it back..
worth a try though, but unfortunately Xiaomi didn't provide stock ROM specifically for my region so I left with no choice
Completely puzzled as I did a Factory Reset via Recovery and haven't seen the issue for past 2 days, I've left the screen touch tracing on and no 'ghost touch' was recorded..
so I don't know what to believe anymore, got an open return ticket but would hate to send it back without needing to..
how can I make sure issue is gone?
Hi, i had this problem 3 weeks ago, temporary solved with hard reset, worked perfectly until yesterday night when this problem went back.
Hard reset again, problem still there.
Someone solved it permanently?
It is really weird because, if i turn off/on the display, sometime works sometime not :S
The phone came with Android 9 and I started to face this after updating to Android 10. The issue is not extreme as shown in the video, it just the touch becomes slow to respond and hard to type fast with the keyboard. Turning off the screen and turning back on solves it temporarily sometimes.
I tried disabling on screen fingerprint and the problem seems to be reduced now. Definitely a software bug
I'm using Mi note 10 lite it also has same problem. Sometime touch freezing and after press power button automatically fix. Some time need to restart. And also one person told me he is fixed by this issue by turned off fingerprint sensor.

I have the exact same problem as you, slow to respond and hard to type. Need to apply more force on the screen for it to respond. This happened randomly throughout the day but are more common during night time for me.
I think it has something to do with the screen lock pin or fingerprint, by changing the screen lock from ie pin to pattern or turning off fingerprint print seems to temporary fix the issue. Another solution is to reboot the phone. I'm using Note 10 Lite btw.

I am using the Pro version. Looks like this issue is common for all the phone models in the Note 10 series. Yes, I have noticed that this issue often happens at night.
Try switching off MIUI optimization under Developer Options and restart your device. Then switch it On and restart again. This workaround solved my issue.

This fixed the issue for a few days and it started to reappear again. When the issue appears, if I turn on Game Turbo for any app (eg: WhatsApp) that particular app doesn't have this touch issue. Looks like a software optimization or battery optimization of MIUI is causing this issue

What firmware version are u in?
I'm currently at 11.0.16.0 and fortunately this issue did not yet reappeared after the workaround.
This is definitely a software ISSUE with MIUI.

MIUI 11.1.3.0 Global Stable
Will try out the MIUI optimization to see whether issue still arise. I'll see if my game turbo have the same issue as you too.
I'm currently at 11.0.7.0 (Mi Note 10 Lite)
Edit: Mi optimisation doesn't work for me but the Game Turbo trick do work.
Hello, I have 3 poco x3 pro phones among my friends, we were looking for a way to remove this ghost touch and I think we've done it .. We had a week with all settings and there is a solution. Turn off miumi optimization (in developer settings), reset the phone, then download another launcher we downloaded the nova launcher and uninstall my launcher then reset the phone again and .. No ghost touch for 6 days !!! And that's on 3 phones. We also have a setting for 60hz .. It's worth trying, maybe it will help you too
Reset? Like Factory Reset?
reset or reboot the phone?
Reset means? Factory reset or reboot?
Update to 12.5.5.
I have 2 days in xiaomi.eu 12.5.5 and finally after 2 months the ghost touch has been dissapear.
This happened to me twice, I got moisture trapped in the crevice between the jelly case and the screen. The issue went away after I disregarded it and just went on with my daily life. It's the small things that gets the best out of us, but don't let it ruin your everyday life.
Update your software miui
Hi, I had the same problem before. I tried all the hints about developer settings and so on, but nothing really helped, it always came back after a little while.
I had a feeling it had to do something with high activity on the display or touch. In my case it often happened after lots of activity on the screen.
I disabled a background I had running, Earth 3D, and now the ghost touch effect is fully gone.
The rest of my system is pretty normal with latest original Poco launcher. So here I would say it is a firmware / systembug and some software might be incompatible at this state.
Hope this helps to find a temporary solution for yourself until Xiaomi delivers a solution (lets see how their support takes things serious)

Same here.
till in 12.5.4 i disabled the game turbo and used microsoft or other launcher, and that had helped me with the ghost touch issue. 12.5.5 doesnot have such issues.
On mine, i send it to service center. They replace screen module.

Installed another launcher, ghost touch seems to be fixed. Seems like the ghost touch is a software bug of the poco launcher.

In my cell phone it works, otherwise I would not have shared it.

The fingerprint sensor does NOT work if you lock the device using Nova launcher shortcut.
Which sucks

This flashable ZIP is totally unrelated to the screen. It contains modified drivers for the fingerprint reader.
The only thing it could possibly fix is scrolling issues when touching the finerprint reader. But if you have actual ghost touches on the screen this won't help you.

Load the no gravity kernel for arrow os for me it fixed my ghost touches, you dont need to tweak just load the kernel as it is.

Can confirm. Installed No Gravity Kernel (v3.0.1) over LineageOS 19.1 and no ghost touches since.
Update: One full week, zero ghost touches.
