My phone experiences occasional ghost touches, but mainly when CPU-Z is on. I know it's an issue on a lot of OnePlus 7 Pro's, but is it worth RMA'ing my device - or is it likely the next one will have the same problem?
Also my alert slider, I'm not sure, but part of the anodisation seems to be wearing off - at least there's a lighter area - attached pic for reference. Is this an issue? I've had the phone 3 days.

Personally, I think the ghost touch issue in cpuz, with nfc and 90 htz enabled, is a software issue. Should be able to be fixed with a update. Seeing that there are very specific circumstances to make it happen, I'd bet most have it and just don't know. I would have never known had I not seen it here and tried it. Does anyone really leave NFC on when they're not using it?

Hopefully, I really like the phone and don't really want to return / replace it. I hadn't really noticed it until I tried CPU-Z, but now I notice it on Facebook, WhatsApp and Nova launcher. Otherwise the phone is perfect - apart from my issue with the alert slider and the faded area of colour - not sure if I'm just being too picky with that?
And yeah I generally leave NFC on as I mainly pay with Google Pay.
I don't have any ghost touch issues personally. I've had the phone for about a week. And I don't have any paint issues. Nevertheless, I'd ask oneplus if they think it's hardware or software, obviously, if it's hardware, RMA that thing. I certainly wouldn't RMA it just for that little paint spot though.

You don't, even with NFC on? I don't know whether to order another one on my credit card, see if that has the same issue and if not, return the one I have. Yeah I wouldn't just for the paint thing, it's tiny but it's annoying with the ghost touch issue as well.
Would of been nice if OP made the metal part just regular silver, like polished or brushed. Personally it would look so much better
Confirmed ghosting using cpu-z. Need fix asap.
I'm having another 7 Pro sent to me, and will send this one back. Had two send two videos showing the ghost touch issue and send over logs. So I guess we'll see what the new one is like.

Yes, I keep nfc on, however it should be known. I don't use cpu-z.
What if CPU-Z app if messing the screen drivers..

The ghost touches are done with or without CPU-Z. It's just a matter of time for it to appear while using any app. It's just CPU-Z makes it more evident.
Anyway, there are people having that problem even with the NFC disabled.

Since we are talking about the slider here.... is there any tweak I can install to have the functionality of the slider button in my status bar? Meaning I need a status bar icon that can switch between the 3 modes: silent, ring, vibrate. That's one of the features i miss the most from my samsung.

Definitely not worth it for the slider. That is so hard to see when just looking at it plus it looks like most will wear after they slide back and fourth just normal wear and tear

Yeah realise that, think it was just adding to my annoyance about the ghost touches. My new one will arrive tomorrow, so fingers crossed that there's no issues with that one.
There are numerous people reporting ghost touches, however I am not one of those people.
Instead, I'm dealing with ghost scrolling...
If I'm scrolling through Twitter for example, randomly, my device will scroll up or down insanely fast, and will scroll quite the distance as well.
I've tried the workaround of disabling NFC but the issue is still there.
Just curious if anyone else has this issue and knows of a fix? I was tolerating it for a while but now it's beginning to become a little too annoying...
I have this in youtube occasioanlly
I have this happening as well in multiple apps. Disabling NFC has not helped.

Probably most likely accidental edge touches with your palm grabbing the scroll bar on the curved edge? Don't have my 7 Pro yet but I get this every now and then on my Note9.
None here since my case positions my hand far enough away from unwanted touches. ?

Hmm, haven't thought of this actually. I will actively keep my palm away from the edge and see if the issue persists or not.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Update on this,
I made sure there were no accidental touches yet the super fast and abrupt scrolling issue is still there
Hopefully OnePlus can fix this in a future update.
I'm still dealing with this issue on 9.5.7
Still present on 9.5.8
Seems like other users are reporting the same but others are surprised hearing about it. Makes me think it's a hardware issue.
I get it on Google maps if i zoom in or out. The screen will pan way right after i take my fingers off the screen

I've seen this on multiple devices. It happens with some apps. Not exactly a device issue, I don't think.

O right. Never experienced it before on any device, including my previous OP phones
I noticed that when typing, (doesn't matter which keyboard) when I press the keyboard side keys, E.G. "P" or "L" they lag a tiny bit and when long-pressing, they take longer to recognize the keys.
Am I the only one noticing the glitch on the sides of the screen?
I've gotten two devices, and tested a demo model at Best buy and I found the same issue on all three.
It isn't that bad but I'd love to figure it out
Mine doesn't seem to have this problem even with a tg screen protector, i'll check at my local best buy to see if their demo model has the same problem whenever i have the chance.

I know this thread is old and dead but I noticed this too and personally I think it could be a bug/feature of Gboard, thinking like palm rejection on a laptop, it has that slight delay to reduce false inputs from your fingers touching the screen just holding the phone.
It might be worth it to try a different keyboard.
Using Hacker's Keyboards here. I noticed it with the A key. I have a theory that Moto Gestures is catching the signal first and then releasing after ms.
Ever since upgrading to Android 11.0, immediate issue has been the sensitivity of the touch screen.
Scrolling up and down will randomly select a link or an item on the page i was scrolling. This seems really evident when you open Google when you scroll all the way to the left. Start scrolling up and down and see if you get errant presses. Seems to be happening a lot on the right hand side of the display where the touches get inaccurate.
I'll be really frank here.... Google sucks at testing and pushing stable updates...

I am still on the 11 beta. When I switched from android 10 to 11 beta I had this issue. Taking off my screen protector solved this issue although I don't want it to be a permanent solution

Got my 11 update this afternoon and have been playing with the phone since. Updated all apps that were available to update, then shut down the phone and restarted. Haven't noticed what you are talking about at all. Just went into Google, as you mentioned, and haven't seen any issues. Will keep an eye on it; but my first thought is if there is an installed app causing issues....

I tried the beta last week and this happened to me. I have to go back to 10 and reinstall everything. I might wait a week or so for others to respond before I trust 11 again.
I found out that they made changes to pixel 4 related to touch sensitivity (making it more aggressive). Wondering if that is what's affecting it.
Just upgraded my 4a to 11 today and I'm having the same issue. Also noticed it on the launcher...long press on an app to drag it just immediately opens the app. Just trying to type this post is a struggle. Touch sensitivity and accuracy is all messed up.
Clearly Google has an issue on their hands. Guess will need to escalate this to tech journalists so that they do something about it
Not having this issue. On A10 I felt touch and especially navigation swipes were a tad insensitive relative to other devices. On several occasions I contemplated regressing to 3-button navigation (ugh). A11 fixed that making navigation feel natural again. No problem with taps - yet.
Right/left swipe sensitivity can be controlled in settings on A11. Left mine at default.
Stock 4a w/Nova Prime. Spigen armor case (slightly raised edges). No screen protector.
This issue is getting reported a bunch on www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a. I personally had the issue pop up a few weeks ago after I installed 11 beta 3. Downgrading back to 10 fixed it.
Some people have said the issue goes away if you remove your screen protector but obviously that isn't the real solution if your phone was working fine prior to the update.
I just posted this question lol i wish i seen your post before. Im dealing w same issue, kind of feel better at least knowing im not the only one dealing with it lol
I think all the touch problems are related to Google Assistant, this app is just too busy messing things up. I use Nova, turned the Assistant off but it was still showing up with a prompt/notification on the bottom telling me to turn it on. So I have disabled the entire Google app and I don't see the Assistant anymore, all is good. Google Play, Pay, Maps etc..., the things I need they all stay intact. And btw, I don't use screen protector.

The only issue I've found is that they seemed to have changed the swipe logic on the homescreen launcher, it acts like it's looking for a slightly different gesture. My muscle memory for quickly accessing overview had to be tweaked slightly, but I've gotten used to it.
I'm not noticing other issues with screen sensitivity. I have an OtterBox Commuter case and the "OMOTON" glass screen protector on my 4a. I adjusted the back swipe sensitivity because the lip of my case is fairly large but that's it.
I'm sorry to hear there have been issues with this

I'm assuming you're using a screen protector?
Try the new touch sensitivity toggle
It helped my touch issues to lower back sensitivity. Using LK brand tempered glass
This issue has been fixed. I think what's troubling is that it was fixed without needing an update... So what dynamic changes are being made within the OS without the need for an OTA update?
edit: nvm its back again. anyone else having touch issues again?
Can confirm. I'm having touch issues every now & then after update to 11.
Reddit has a thread with over 73 responses confirming the issue as well. Still waiting on Google for a fix.
I have same problem and it's so annoying, I also have a screen burn in almost 1cm by 1cmnafter one day of use and volume going up and down on it's own ???

Still no issues here. I am not downplaying those that have this (not at all!) but wonder if an app conflict is part of the cocktail. I do not use Google Assistant which some have implicated. Also have very few apps authorized for screen reading (albeit probably not a factor)
Edit: read on; screen protectors and heat appear to be contributing factors.
Sad to report this issue is NOT yet fixed. It appears to only happen when the phone heats up WITH a screen protector. Just played a game of Risk for about an hour and the problem came back. Just removed my Supershieldz screen protector and the problem is gone. When the phone cools down I'll add the screen protector back and the issue most likely won't come back until the phone heats up again. This never happened on Android 10, so something must have changed with the update. Hopefully it's just a simple software fix and not a hardware issue.
I'm coming a OnePlus 9 and I'm noticing that the screen is far too sensitive on my P7P. For example, when I click on a notification banner, it thinks I'm long pressing and presents me with the options to "Silent," "Default," and "Priority" the banner notification. I've also noticed when I swipe left or right to go back, it will count it as double as the haptic feedback is felt twice.
I didn't know until after purchasing that Pixels were notorious for having bad finger print scanners. This one is worse that my OP9. I have a screen protector to put on still, perhaps it will make it just right at that point.
Well, the finger print scanner is even worse than on Oneplus Nord. And I also have accidental long presses. I am actually quite disappointed with the phone.
One more thing that I dislike is how the navigation buttons have gaps between them. I constantly tap on those gaps and nothing happens. And if you use gestures, swiping to go back conflicts with swiping to open the side menu in apps.
I was hoping that this device was going to keep me happier than my OP9, oh well. it's still an early release. Hopefully it gets better with firmware upgrades. OP has gone down hill and that's why I'm here. If this fails, I'm going to submit to iOS (wait, did I just say that?!)
I did just put a screen protector on. I'm hoping that will kill some of the sensitivity. I went with the Milomdoi from Amazon. It was the best out of the 3 or 4 I ordered (sent back the ones I didn't did like). Installed pretty easy... despit the one small dust spec I missed in the far right corner. It'll be OK. The case almost covers it up. I'll report back if the screen protector improves the touch at all. I not hopeful though haha
You both might have some bad displays, my fingerprint scanner is far better and faster on the Pixel 7 pro than my OnePlus 9 Pro. I don't recall any issue with the touch sensitivity so far.

Just when you thought you scoured the all device's settings. I'll give this a shot and see what it does (so far so good). Thanks!
I re-registered my fingerprints too. Hopefully that will improve recognition.
On a same note, could someone please tell me if this is normal: https://giphy.com/gifs/COEoRqIfJdhpWTxoKC
When I adjust the brightness and leave the touch input for a bit, the slider goes all over the place. It's pretty annoying and doesn't seem that the slider should act this way.

The reason you didn't notice is that like almost everyone, you don't let your finger linger on the slider, but slide it to where you want it and let go

Now tap and hold is too long when on medium. Why wouldn't they have this adjustable in ms instead of three preset options.
The fingerprint reader has been perfect for me (so much better than on the 6 Pro) but I agree about the screen sensitivity. It's too sensitive.

Absolutely zero issues with the fingerprint reader here, I find it just as reliable and even quicker than my S21 Ultra and that is with a protector.
I suggest it's either a bad screen protector install (air bubbles around the fingerprint area would cause havoc with it) or maybe it's just not a good protector for use with an optical scanner.
