You are not alone

I also have a HTC One M8 with the same problem!

I have to disconnect the USB cable so that I can use the phone correctly without 'phantom touches' activating things I didn't want.

A classic example is pressing the back button will more often than not take me to google now. It's not supposed to do that. It only ever does this when charging.

Also when using any app the phantom touches will activate things I didn't want it to. Some apps will indicate which button you clicked and this is the perfect way to see this problem in action, because buttons will be clicking that you didn't even touch.

It's almost like the touch screen becomes ridiculously sensitive and even just a touch of breeze from a fan can activate a phantom touch.

My phone has done this since brand new. I've had the phone for around 3 months now. There was a software update since I had the phone and it didn't fix the problem.

It does this for me with the stock USB cable, samsung USB cable, generic USB cable, charging from AC/PC/Car it doesn't matter.

It even has the problem when the battery is at 100% with the cable connected.

The only way to accurately use the phone is to unplug the cable!

Erratic Touch on Verizon HTC One M8

This has been driving me mad.

Got Verizon Variant Red HTC One M8 near the beginning of August.

I bought a spigen clear case, a longer usb cable, and a 2AMP charger to use at work. I was chewing through the battery while playing Clash of Clans on it at work.

I pretty much always turn on visual feedback for touch on my smartphone now and noticed sometimes while playing Clash I would see multiple touches go in a horizontal line across my screen (if you do not know you play clash of clans in a horizontal position so technically the lines would run vertically down the phone)

I also have a tempered glass screen on my phone so I figured it was some kind of freak nuance with the case pushing the glass or something.

Bought a UAG Case for my phone, few days later I notice the same behavior, bought cases have a small "lip" to protect the screen if you drop the phone face down, I again figured this must be the culprit and bought a new case.

Barely there Clear case by casemate, I have had the case for 3 days and today is my first day at work since, immediately upon connecting my charger I noticed the erratic touch behavior.

At this point I realized it was never the case, it has to be something with charging in general or the specific charger I am using.

Anyone got any clue what is actually causing this issue?

Hi guys, any news?

I'm experiencing the same issue and this is driving me mad.

Experiencing this with different chargers. My cover is a Spigen Ultra Hybrid Metal Slate...if I put it off, theres no problem while charging :confused:

Hi guys,

I have faced the issue as well. In my case, if I charge the phone using the dot view case then the touchscreen behaves wrongly. However, if I charge the phone with no case at all it works fine.

Anyway after I flashed the latest firmware (.401.6) the problem is gone. What firmware do you have?

Cheers.

If it's brand new, take it back for a replacement. The sooner the better because the longer you wait, the more they may think it is user caused.

I just got my phone replaced due to bad mic. I had a brand new one on release day and now I got a refurb both suffered the same issues. It's not always that it does it but it certainly pisses you off. Same symptoms as the op describes, I have yet to find a permanent solution.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyLeJizm:
This is so super irritating. I feel you. I just found out though that it occurs when I have my case on.. So whenever i use the phone when I'm charging I have to pull the case off. It really doesn't make any sense lol but this is my workaround for this bug. ;)

Happened on me long back on Desire HD days. It has to do with the charger wire (no shielding or bad shielding). For example: samsung ones that are not having a detashable usb wire. To fix for the moment is easy, plug it back on the original charger and wire.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkanoid29:
I am having the same problem with my HTC One M8. I've had it for a year when this problem arises. I noticed that when I'm playing games like Clash of clans (which consumes power much) I have to charge it when the power almost dies. While charging and playing the game at the same time, and the power is around 50% charged, the touch will become very erratic that any touch on the screen will either open or close any app or will click anything on the screen. I have given it to the service 4 times. 1St time, they said it is only software problem so they reset and reinstalled the image. 2nd time, they replaced the screen and the USB port. 3rd time, they said no fault found. So on the 4th time, I took 3 videos showing the problem and give it to them, they have now replaced the mainboard. I have not received the unit yet, I will test and give feedback soon.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingram1225:
Me too... But...

Just out of curiosity, for those that have had this issue, how is your top section of your screen doing now (not charging)

Mine now has that quirky touch thing along the top part of the screen. When I go for notifications menu the app shortcut below it will also come alive and open up the app. Sometimes it won't let me touch a button within an app if it happens to be in this spot.

Worse yet, this is a 6 month old replacement phone as the original one had a battery die. T mobile was going to exchange it but I also had a phantom rear camera lens cracked... With a case on and glass screen protector on front read: the phone didn't bend. So now they want me to send it in for an insurance paid repair... Of $175 and 14 week wait. Screw you.

Anyhow just curious if there is a connection to the original issue and this
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
I can't believe no one has actually responded to this or most have just got fed up of repeating themselves.

IT IS PERFECTLY NORMAL.

Many devices have this behavior when connected to the charger.

If I'm right, HTC even mention it in the instructions.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreas0013:
This issue is fixed when i remove my case
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fieldlab:
Solved! Phantom touches while charging or with case...

The problem is that the case electrically insulates you from the phone! You need to be touching the metal frame of the phone! The noise from any charger is amplified greatly when the frame is isolated and the phone only makes contact with the user through the finger touch. Peel back some part of the case and contact the frame with the hand holding the phone and watch the effect disappear. I just realized there is enough metal between the big lens on the back and the flash to make contact, but of course you have to be careful not to muck up the lens. Edit: just put a finger over the flash since its not sensitive to surface contamination.

If the cases were made of conductive rubber it would likely eliminate the problem.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TraderJack:
For those of you new to HTC devices, you may not be aware that they offer a promo with Google Drive where you get +100 GB free storage on your account for 2 years.

Here are the offer terms:

https://support.google.com/drive/answer/3333549?hl=en

Here are the interesting terms:

"New HTC One (M8) (+100GB for two years)"

"The offer must be redeemed before January 1, 2016. For most devices, you'll have your storage for 2 years, starting on the date you redeem the offer." - This is important! I got my promo code, but i am not at my 15GB account limit yet on Google. So I plan to keep this code until 1/1/2016 (or until I need it). Based on these terms, if I don't use the code until 12/31/2015 I should have +100GB until 12/31/2017.

"The offer is only available to original buyer of a device over its lifetime. Users who unlock the bootloader on their device are not eligible to receive this offer."

This last piece is the most important. There are some scattered threads where people mention this, but many people coming here unlock their phones as soon as they can and by then it is too late.

You can find some information by googling about how to possibly relock your loader and then claim the space, but it is easiest if you do it first.

Another option is to contact HTC via phone or their online chat. Many people have been successful (as have I via chat).

I recommend you play as dumb as possible re: unlocking the bootloader.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProtoDroid:
what's up

My Note 3 won't power on. LED indicator won't even come on when I plug it in. The things basically a paper weight.

I was wondering if anyone had expirience with verizon manufacturer warranty replacements. I was told that if physical damage or is modified that I'll have to pay a 300$ fee.

I have no way of flashing back to stock because I can't power on the device. I read somewhere that they do a lousy job or they don't really check at all to see if the phone is rooted. You guys think I should take the chance with the refurb or should I call up and cancel?

Hi everyone, I hope I chose the right forum where to post, and I am sorry if I didn't.

I have a problem with a new cubot s208: sometimes, randomly, my screen starts flickering for some seconds, and then it goes completely black. But the strange thing is that if I lock the screen when the screen is black, when I unlock it isn't black yet and it doesn't flicker. Unfortunately, flickering will re-start after some seconds.

This strange fenomenom doesn't happen very frequently: as I reboot the device, the problem will vanish for some days.

Googling I found some tutorials that suggest disabling hw overlays, but this didn't work with my smartphone.

I need some help, can someone solve this problem? At least, I would like to know if it is an hw or sw problem, cause in the first case I will try to sell it back under warranty.

The only way this would be true is if you didn't have a T-mobile rom on your device... if you're running a Carbon Rom or Omnirom or some other ASOP rom on your phone, you wouldn't have this... or a rom ported from AT&T or what not.

That you can't have Wi-Fi calling if you root. As stated in earlier posts, the only way you won't have Wi-Fi calling is if you flash an aosp/cm ROM or a ported ROM from another carrier. Touchwiz T-Mobile ROMs or just plain root won't kill Wi-Fi calling

Okay so here's the deal, I was using the orzly tempered glass screen protector and I missed the feel of the matte screen protectors. I didn't want to just remove the orzly one because I spent $10 on it and its still in prefect condition. So I had an idea, LAYERED SCREEN PROTECTORS! I got 6 matte screen protectors on eBay for $3 so I didn't really care if I messed up.

now before anyone complains that its a stupid idea, I know that it could affect the touch responsiveness and so far, it didn't.

Worst case:

-remove both screen protectors

Second worst case:

-remove the matte screen protector from the tempered one.

Best case:

-everything works properly.

CAUTION:

-The only hard part about this is you have to layer them PERFECTLY or you'll have a an uneven finish.

-There will be a border where the matte screen protector hangs off the tempered one since its slightly bigger. Thus might cause the screen protector to lift off if you have a tight fit case.

I'll keep this thread updated on his it handles in the upcoming weeks.

I second you. I too really miss matte finish and anti glare feel with the tempered glass protectors. I had this idea in mind, but you executed. Cheers :)
[ONE Accessories] abhi08638:
Honestly it worked well but after a period of about a month, the edges of the matte one wouldn't stick anymore since its bigger than the Ozrly protector. I have heard that some tempered ones cover edge to edge but then I assume a tight tpu cases wouldn't fit correctly.

Anyway, I ended up taking it off and am currently using only the tempered glass. The main reason is when I took of the matte, I didn't realize how beautiful the screen was and how much crappier the matte made it look. So I decided to just get used to the tempered glass one which took a little time because my fingers usually drag on the screen. But I honestly did get used to it.
[ONE Accessories] goofball2k:
I was a big fan of the matte protectors but since putting the nillkin tempered on, I don't miss the feel of the matte protector.

I also now see how much nicer the screen looks. Matte was great for minimizing reflections but it definitely reduced the image.

Any pictures with both protectors on?
[ONE Accessories] abhi08638:
Sorry I don't plan on ever putting matte on again lol. But if I visit one of my friends I'll take a picture since they use matte.

I meant a picture of the matte protector installed on the tempered glass. I had and have always had matte protectors on until last week when i went to tempered. Not going back to matte, just curious.
[ONE Accessories] abhi08638:
It looked exactly the same as on the regular screen except that the top right and tip left corners hang off the ozrly and over time it won't stick anymore because dust eventually gets underneath it.
