Far right touch screen triggers wrong keyboard letters

Specifically if I try to type “P” I get “O”. Is this in fact a touch screen issue? … before I try to purchase a new touchscreen. Thanks!

Probably. Go to Settings → Maintenance → Checkup and try the free drawing tool to make sure. If drawing doesn’t work as expected there it’s a hardware issue. Take a screenshot and send it to support. If you still have warranty (2 years) you’ll probably get a free replacement.

PS: You can also try to disassemble the phone and clean the contacts with alcohol. Maybe there is just dirt on the contacts causing the issue.

Oh and about the topic title: That’s what you get when buying a socialist phone. Far-right stuff won’t work. :wink:

So you’re saying that the far right isn’t as good at triggering as it thinks it is? When you push the far right’s buttons, it responds poorly? Stop the presses!

But seriously: you can also try installing a different keyboard, see if it’s a software problem. The AOSP keyboard can be a bit finicky for some (it is for me, I tend to miss the space bar).

“That’s what you get when buying a socialist phone…” Hilarious!
Well indeed drawing doesn’t work on the far right, and persists after cleaning. Unfortunately the phone is > 2 years … so I guess it’s a new screen for me.
Thanks!
