Parts of the touchscreen don't work - See first post for troubleshooting

Good news for me (even if it’s kind of weird): yesterday my touchscreen issue was exactly as described in my post 4 days ago, this afternoon I realized that the non-working left part was reduced to approx. 0,5 cm (from originally / yesterday ~1 cm, see attached screenshot from 2016-03-24-15-09-48):


This meant that I almost could use the whole keyboard, only “q” was giving a “w”, but tipping on “a” was returning an “a” again (not the “s” anymore)

An hour ago I increased touch and hold delay from short to medium (as recommended in this thread) and now the touchscreen is fully operational as can be seen here (screenshot from 2016-03-24-19-45-59):

Since I’m not really believing in self healing technical stuff (too long in IT, I fear) I started thinking what might have caused the change. I only can remember these three changes I did after the issue started:

  • Approx. 4 days after I recognized the problem I removed the protection foil (as mentioned), which didn’t change anything in the short term.
  • Since Monday (2016-03-21) I’m carrying my FP2 not in my trousers’ pocekt anymore, but in a Feuerwear case (also see this thread / post)
  • Today (2016-03-24) evening I changed the touch and hold delay.

Maybe anyone can verify / falsify if changing the touch and hold delay setting will help?
In case anything will change on my side I’ll update this thread.

Regards,
Bernd
