I’m experiencing some ghost inputs to my Fairphone’s touchscreen that make the phone basically unusable untill i manage to restart it again. It have happend three or four times since i got the phone. Basically the screen will suddenly start recives a lot of inputs rapidly, and then begin acting as …

Reg the side effect of the Ghost touch patch see this topic and better follow-up there if needed [image] Software update: FP4.SP2J.B.086.20230807 The Products I just tried to zoom in a map while the phone was in the car mount and I had to touch it somewhere at the back or…

I have installed the update as I was keen to get rid of the ghost touches. The first two days it appeared to have worked without issues. As of today the ghost touches are back at the same rate as before. I now also suffer a worse responding screen (anything but a firm touch fails to register) and tr…

That might be why people with a lot of ghost touches will have the screen hang up because the problem is still there but hidden from view. I still believe it’s actually a hardware problem and the software pa…

I think first notice of ghost inputs started around beginning of 2023. Only minor…

Despite the symptoms bei…

I opened the phone today, and the material did flatten, although my mother (who owns the phone) is gonna send it in for a repair tomorrow anyways. The ghost touches happened after my fix, but they were way less frequently. My own phone doesn’t have ghost touch issues, by the way.

I still get ghost touches. They are less but still there. But now the thouch seems to be less sensitive. How about to lower the input frequency, It seems that the ghost touches with 600 touches/min.
