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...

76inc having the exact same issues, ghost touches on my phone screen, happens randomly when i switch my phone on. And won’t stop till i switch it off. Did you find any solution?

I switched to the beta version of Android 14 yesterday. Since then the ghost touches didn’t occur again. But as they appeared only seemingly random before, I’m not sure that the problem is fixed now. Time will tell. I’ll report it here.

I googled the problem, and some people (on other phones) had the same issue. Some of them thought that the screen protector glass was the problem. But for that it appears not often enough.

I hope that the new software deleted the error.

Irony is display was OLED and now AMOLED, what the heck is this?

As of now no ghost touch seen but seems return the phone, what is the truth?

76inc that’s great to hear! Where did you get the update? I haven’t received anything yet :/

I had this when i first received the phone(2), I tried everything to see what triggered it, but I never found properly. And it eventually stopped for no reason lmao

76inc

Remi F as long as it stops I don’t care about the reason….😂 Cause that really is the only major thing bugging me about the phone 2.

MihirChellaboyina If you have phone (2) you can find the topic on this forum to update to the open beta 😉

76inc

MihirChellaboyina Look at the first post in this forum. It’s pinned on top. And installation is super easy. And so far I haven’t experienced any bugs.

MihirChellaboyina

76inc great then! Any news on when the stable one will release?

76inc

MihirChellaboyina Not that I know off. But the beta is pretty good as far as I can tell. And you can always perform a rollback if you don’t like it.

My nothing phone (2) is having this weird ghost touch issue which spooks me. Does anyone have experienced the same and how did you overcome it?

Remi F

Tilotham yes it has already been mentioned to the forum but no-one seems to be able to reproduce this issue accurately. I had it when i first received the phone, but it just disappears after some times / updates… So i dont know what to think on this

Nope

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.

Tilotham

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

Remi F

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.

76inc

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
