Ghost touches

Every couple of hours my phone 2 starts to suffer from “ghost touches”. Meaning the screen acts like someone is touching or swiping it. By that apps are open...

Any update on this? Today I experienced the ghost touch issue like 7 times. I am so worried.

76inc

Since switching to the beta a couple of days ago I haven’t experienced them anymore. What kind of version is running on your phone? Maybe an update to 2..04 or 2.5 beta might help.

76inc My phone is running on 2.0.4. I will try the beta, thanks for the update

got 1 min of ghost touches this morning for no reason and then disappeared for no reason agian xD. It’s the weirdest bug I encountered lmao (on 2.5 beta)

Tilotham

This issue is still on😔. I am really hoping that the developer would fix this issue. This is like a nightmare that came real for me. I have tried complaining about this to the customer support but they didn’t give me a proper solution. I really hope that nothing is watching this.

Tilotham I also reported it to the support team and got no response. But since updating to the beta 1 and now beta 2 the ghost touches didn’t not appear again. So I’m pretty sure that it’s “only” a software problem.

Tilotham It has happened to me too 1 day after buying the phone. First I thought it will be one of issue and it will go if I update to latest version. But it didn’t went and I was worried and so contacted support team and they told some steps nothing worked for me. Then at last I even did factory reset my phone. But the issue still persist. It got worsen. At this point I was angry and frustrated because I bought this phone just for user experience and went to service centre stating these reasons with video proof. And first told it would be software installation issue and they reflash my phone. And I went home with not so convinced. Issue still didn’t went, it happened on the same day when they reflash my phone. I was very angry and took a video proof and send to the service person and argued with him. Then he escalated the issue and said he will replace my display. Again went to change the display and been using for 3 days and to restore my peace, it didn’t happen for once in these days. I hope my experience somehow helps you

76inc Never had this issue

I bought my NP2 last week, and I also have the issues, not for the first 2 days but after that it happened multiple times a day so I couldn’t use it properly.

I removed the screen protector, it still happens, but a lot less, but maybe 2 times a day, and it goes away after few seconds of locking my phone. I’m also on nothingOS 2.0.4 but due to some personal issues, I can not update to beta, so I’ll wait for the android 14 stable update.

What do you guys suggest? Should I call costumer support? Will they give solutions?

76inc

Since I’m sure that it’s a software problem I would try to perform a factory reset. Maybe that helps. As far as I can tell the problems disappeared for everyone after some time.

I don’t really think the support will have an answer, but the more people report the problem the more attention it might get. And maybe it will get solved.

Good luck

76inc may I know how are you sure that it’s a software problem. Mostly “ghost touch” issue in phones happens dur to hardware problems, thats why I’m asking

KelliBoyt

Chiming in to say I’m also having the same issue, currently running version 2.04. Initially it was just once a day, now it’s several times a day. Definitely a bug, and if ppl are experiencing it on the beta, then it definitely should be looked into.

For me it’s frustrating enough to make me consider swapping my SIM into something else until it’s resolved. However there’s not much out currently that excites me phone wise.

My in hand alternatives are:

S22+

ZFlip5

OnePlus 8T 5G

MohammedAdnan did the issue occurred again after you replace the display?

76inc

imyself1993 because I didn’t change my display nor the display protection. It stopped after the change from 2.03 to beta 1.

And I read from several people that locking and unlocking your phone stops the touches.

I think that indicates that it’s a software issue. If it was the hardware it would still appear.

On the other hand: I’m no expert. And maybe someone can explain this behaviour being caused by the hardware.

It would be great if nothing would somehow address the issue.

Sorry for bringing this thread back but I started noticing this yesterday and today on my 3-day-old Nothing Phone (2) – v2.0.4.

The first time it happened, I chalked it up to a one-off and just carried on with my day. The most recent “bout” of ghost touches (about 10 minutes ago) was so bad that the phone managed to make a call, luckily this was to my wife who was sitting next to me so nothing too embarrassing.

Locking and unlocking the phone didn’t stop the touches and only a restart would alleviate it.

Have any other users experiencing this issue had a case on their phones when the ghost touches have occurred? I don’t have a screen protector but do have a cheap Amazon case on it which (unless it’s software/hardware related) is the only thing I can think would be the cause.

Can anyone else provide any context around whether updating to the Beta fixed it for them?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Everyone,
i’m experiencing this issue since day one (like 2 weeks ago) i had this phone. After some testing i’ve found out it mostlly happens when the display is cold (happend most of the time when i was outside with temperatures below 4° C).

I like this phone very much, but as i’m experiencing this issue more frequently (3 to 10 times a day) im
slowly thinking of returning the phone…

i would appreciate some more info about how frequently this happens on your side or if you have observed
some similarities when the problem occurred.

I’m going to try the beta and report back if the behaviour changes 🙂

Thanks in advance

Tilotham Not till date.

I didnt experience ghost touches but my phone 2 sometimes do not register my touches, and these occur very often, this occurs espicially while playing COC or trying to go to recent apps panel. I tried to raise a concern my sending a feedback to nothing, but they suggested to turn on enhance touch response. But turning it on always makes the problem worse. I am unable to recreate the problem to show you or nothing, as the screen do not even senses my touch input so no touch pointers or show touches work.

I have nothing phone 2. Randomly it starts as if some one has taken control of it . It opens random apps and when try to restart it takes around 5-10 minutes to restart as screen touch doesnot work as per you finger location. Please how get this resolved.

76inc

To make it easier to restart you could use the side key to do so… can be set up somewhere in the settings (press and hold power….)
