As I said, it might be a random incident. Maybe through some strange incident the issue fixed itself? I have no idea. Only thing I can comment on is that it doesn't happen anymore.

I had the case where heating up the touch panel caused the issue and cooling it fixed it reliably. Hell...who knows which ghost touch/unresponsiveness/x-axis error is caused by what specifically.

Would have to do a test with regular CM12.1 nightlies to see if it's independent of the ROM or not. Kinda reluctant as I don't want to change anything now that it works so well. :D Might try with MultiROM later.
[ONE General] king conan:
Now that I'm in flashing fever I tried this:

Calkulin's OnePlus One v3.1 ROM (with untouched CM12 kernel)

http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-calkulins-oneplus-one-v1-0-t2810365

and flashed the kernel for CM12 with the new screen driver

http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/development/kernel-t3110660

And ghost touch is gone again. I'm starting to think the fix is real and the light at the end of the tunnel is really close.
[ONE General] silverton:
THIS! This has done it for me. I run a stress test program for about ten minutes and then use the YAMTT drawing option to rapidly tap the outside edges of the screen. This gets the screen and phone itself warm.

the CAF kernel ROM did it right from the get go setting the phone up. Calkulin's + that kernel and I have ZERO ghost touches. I'll be rocking my OPO as my driver for today and see how it works in the real world, but my bench testing says this has fixed my phone.
[ONE General] tuxfusion:
great to hear people are making efforts. Mine was without issues from day one , lucky i guess
[ONE General] BCMascha:
I have some questions about this phone, if I may ;P

1: What does insulating the flex-cable do now exactly? ‘Removing’ the ghost-touches only? I’m not really sure because you suddently said “Now might be a good time to fix your grounding issues, too!” in the ‘Re-assembly, Part 1/2’ at the OPO forums. So what were you fixing then in the first place? Only replacing the LCD screen with a new one?

2: When I isulate the flex-cable, will the touchscreen work perfectly, or do I have to put a new LCD screen into the phone for that?

3: When I buy a new LCD screen like you did, will the yellow-fade stay away?

4: When does the phone become warm/hot? And when it gets warm/hot, I read the touchscreen will start to ignore touches or other issues? Will this also go away when isulating the flex-cable and/or putting a new LCD screen in (The problems when getting warm/hot)?

5: After isulating the flex-cable AND/OR putting a new LCD screen in, will ALL of these problems STAY away?

Sorry if it sounds dumb to ask all these questions, but I want to be sure before I buy this phone. And yes, I have some experience so I think I can do it myself. ;P Thanks in advance!
[ONE General] Formhault:
Well, there seems to be a new touchscreen firmware which fixes the touchscreen issues 100% (without causing additional battery drain).

If you replace the screen and it has / develops yellow spots, they will not go away... It's luck, I guess. Almost all OnePlus screens have a yellow tint, some worse than others.
[ONE General] g0dz1lar:
Is the fix available now? For Cm12?
[ONE General] Formhault:
AK's kernel has got the fix implemented, yeah. Just read the last few pages of his thread...
[ONE General] Benxter:
seems that this kernel has fixed the issue for me!
[ONE General] Formhault:
And everyone else :D
[ONE General] theBIGone:
Fix now also implemented in the latest cm 12.1 nightly:http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/99607/
[ONE General] vladzko:
What type of insulation tape should I use? And where is the best place to get it does anyone know?
[ONE General] osi13:
I'm running the same build, and I don't have any issues. The only thing I've noticed is that the screen can get hypersensitive which causes me to scroll a bit faster in apps like Reddit Sync. I'm not going to lie, I'm a lot more accurate with Google Keyboard on this device than I have been on my Nexus 5 and most recently my Nexus 6. It reminds me of my S3, and the S3 had a very accurate and sensitive panel.
[ONE General] patp:
The revised Synaptics driver did fix my device, but I'm starting to get the odd symptom returning. Could be a progressive hw issue maybe.
[ONE General] osi13:
What problem do you have?
[ONE General] Formhault:
I'm getting some weird problems as well. It's just one problem, actually : when I'm typing very fast, I some times hit the home button by mistake. But that's just because I can now type VERY FAST, which I wasn't able to do with the old touchscreen driver :)

So yeah, I'm not seeing any issues, actually :silly:

What problems do you experience?
[ONE General] Formhault:
The best place to get such insulation is latest CM12.1 nightly.
[ONE General] patp:
Mainly ghost touches in Chrome leading to links being clicked when I was trying to scroll. This was exactly what used to happen until the new firmware fixed it. I wonder if there's a gradual degradation and the new firmware tweaks the guessing algorithm to deal with increased "noise" - it's always going to be a signal-to-noise problem even in a well working touchscreen.
[ONE General] vantt1:
That's actually exactly what happened to mine. Sometimes when zooming into a webpage or picture in gallery it would zoom all the way in or out.
[ONE General] Dominik185:
My problem is... a little bit bigger i guess?

I was last week in the Gym on a pretty warm day and had it on me..

since then i have a dead area in the mid of the screen, i made a screenshot.

it is so annoying and i thought that would never happen to me.. it's really unpleasant to use..

Cooling, new kernel and resetting doesnt fixed it.. its 100% a hardware issue!

I guess the glue couldnt hold the connector anymore? I dont know..

I dont know if i should make a RMA or try your way >.<
[ONE General] marwan91:
It's different problem, you should RMA, but try the new software update first
[ONE General] Dominik185:
Im on CM 12s.. Android 5.0.2.

They want to release a new Update for touchscreen fixing, but i dont think that will be a solution for me.

I worry that i will send it in and they will not replace it, because of the cheap ass water indicator trick or something else..
[ONE General] scatteril:
I can confirm the new update solve the issue for me. The issue just disappeared
[ONE General] Dominik185:
But i guess this will not solve my issue?:(
[ONE General] AcmE85:
You are still asking this question?

The official update has been out for days, why didn't you flash it yet?

Nobody can answer your question here.
[ONE General] patp:
See how it is in a few weeks. Mine was initially fixed, but now is almost back to where it was. I think they just tweaked the sensitivity to noise, but if the noise keeps getting worse, the problem eventually returns.
[ONE General] BigLisy:
Just got my OPO three days ago, manufactured on 17th of June 2015. Flashed latest Nightly right away.

first day, all perfect.

second day, touch registers felt a bit odd.

third day, heavy ghost touches hell. Becoming gradually unusable.

Is there a fix I'm unaware of by now? Please let there be.

Tried different kernels, no use (as for AK, am I supposed to get new TC or old TC?)
[ONE General] gps3dx:
Try to use blisspop nightly with AK kernel - For more then a month I don't have ANY ghost-touch problems...

(I live in a hot place)

I don't use any more and fix/apk whatsoever related to that problem - only blisspop&AK kernel ( although I know on blisspop integrated kernel the problem was resolved as well )
[ONE General] TheoKondak:
Do i have to remove the digitizer from the main frame in order to perform this "surgury"? I am afraid that i will break my digitizer a bit, but the touchscreen issues are very bad.
[ONE General] marwan91:
Don't do anything just update to the latest software
[ONE General] TheoKondak:
Thats a joke answer full of irony right?
[ONE General] marwan91:
No, the ghost touches have been fixed ages ago... With a software update what's your android version?? What ROM do you run?
[ONE General] rlaw:
Any shops that do this in NYC area?
[ONE General] Chad_Petree:
Can anyone confirm that new batches of the phone that were manufactured in December ( it's too early for phones manufactured in January) still have the issues ghost touch issues? :confused:
[ONE General] patp:
Is this touch issue the reason I get the notification pull-down appearing when I go to hang up a call?
[ONE General] ahighfield:
I have the same thing, but overall a minor inconvenience versus the more serious issues others are reporting. I also sometimes pull down the notification shade and it bounces back up on its own to nearly the top but still partly drawn.

My phone was manufactured in late Oct and otherwise problem free from ghost touches post 44S OTA. There may have been a few i noticed early on but I was only on 38R for a few days before 44S was pushed to my phone.

One of the other issues pointed out with the OP video was that the guy was wearing an anti static wrist band...

I guess there are a lot of people still waiting for the promised response from OP, with latest update that they were waiting to get more units back for testing before coming to a conclusion. It will wipe them out though if any mass RMA is required and thesis is correct that every phone could suffer from a touch issue eventually depending on the wear characteristics of the glue in each case. Maybe they will give everyone an automatic invite for OP2... Or a discount... But probably don't hold your breath for an admission that this is anything to do with hardware.
[ONE General] dr_bowtie:
My phone was made on 12/11/2014 and shipped with 33R and it worked fine out of the box. no issue with scrolling, screen touching and any shenanigans....

First thing i did before I even booted into the OS was the guide to unlock, flash twrp and root the phone via fastboot.... only then did i find the phone shipped with 33R which i got prompted immediately for the 38R update once WiFi connected. flashed it after about 30 minutes of playing.

Again no issues and made a back up of 33R and 38R and after about an hour and a half got the prompt for the 44S update. Installed that as well. No issues I;ve noticed yet. Battery life is great (2 days on a charge) no yellow banding or wifi issues noda....
[ONE General] vantt1:
I had that notification shade issue before too. My guess is the touch cuts out partway through dragging it down, and ends in a tap (or the phone registers as a tap). It also affected scrolling vertically, like in a web browser or a vertical app drawer. This was on 33R, both on the stock kernel and on Franco, but less prominent on the latter.

Mine was manufactured in July, and I did upgrade to 38R and used it as a daily driver, but only for a few days before I did the fix thing. I felt no need to ever go back to CM since, because I never settle for stock :p

I understand why it's really hard to come to a definitive conclusion for this issue, because there seems to be not only a single cause/type of touch issues. For one, there's the grounding issue, then there's the heat related one, and the proximity sensor related one that can be fixed by disabling the pocket check or screen-off gestures. I guess this thread was a bit of a clickbait article then, because it's only been confirmed once; by me, with my own phone. Mine wasn't affected by heat, it was buggy all the time, and toggling the gestures did not help.

At the moment the glue thing is still just a hypothesis, and unless we get a formal investigation (which, if it really is a hardware problem, is highly unlikely), it will remain a hypothesis.

Nice!

First thing I did when I got mine was unlock the bootloader too. I manually flashed Calkulin's 38R before I got the OTA. I never used 44S, because it was a smaller update than 33R to 38R and I had already flashed PA by then.

Now I'm running LiquidSmooth (Lollipop), and it's very stable for an Alpha build and smoother than [Project] Butter! It has all those screen-off gestures, status bar mods and even media volume control by default and long-press volume for next/prev track! The only thing that doesn't work is properly is capacitive button backlight control (if not timed out, they stay on even when the screen is off), so I just turned them off altogether using an app called "Keyboard Backlight Controller".

Battery life is actually really good considering the Alpha status and stock kernel. 4+ days easy! (~2.5 - 3 hours screen time, the same as before)

Screenshots:
[ONE General] pelurusilver:
After using 1+ for about 5 months, more than 10 ROMS, from kitkat to currently lollipop, i observed the ghost issue.

For me, it happens when i pull the unit from my front pocket (where it always be when I am outside and not using it ) mostly when there are a sunlight.

And I always solved it right away by force reboot by holding the power button till it reboot. Whereby, I cant manually proper reboot when the unit not registering my touch correctly.

Other than that, the ghost swipes never comes out.

Maybe its about the tempreture issue. BUT, why it goes after I reboot it rightaway?

Or does it because the of the static?

I just thinking to do this guy method. Or just change it to another phone that more stable.

Since nobody confirm about its grounding issue, I dont want to jeopardize the warranty.

To change to a new phone, uhh!! I love this device so much when the 'ghost' is sleep.
[ONE General] vantt1:
That could be static build-up, and rebooting the phone flushes that static maybe? Before the fix, my OPO's touchscreen was a little off all the time; it didn't matter how soon after I took it out of my pocket or if I rebooted it.
[ONE General] pelurusilver:
so my problem is not from the digitizer as your's?
[ONE General] vantt1:
It could be, just a different problem.
[ONE General] jartukovic:
My problems were obviously heat related because during summer the problems were constant during the day when i was outside on the beach, but when i went inside the house (AC on) the problems were almost gone, also now during the winter the problems are non existent. The forced reboot would solve the problem on the beach for few minutes but after that the problem was back. My unit was produced 2014.06.21.
[ONE General] Chad_Petree:
I can't believe oneplus never solved this issue, their solution will be releasing the oneplus two :rolleyes:
[ONE General] devilsshadow:
Haha, another fellow beach goer. Personally I work on the beach during summer and experienced exactly the same thing with my opo a few times. I panicked the first time the phone became completely unresponsive. I only happened twice, both times after the phone hot really hot. Now, in the winter it works perfect. 10 finger multi touch no problem. In the summer, at work I don't really have time to mess with my phone so I just keep it in the shade and it's fine. Keeping electronics in strong sunlight in the middle of Greek summer would probably make most electronics go haywire.

[ONE General] cinaski33:
I've just received my replaced OPO for a continuously rebooting problem.

This new one has touch problem, I can't write H and M and the double tap becomes a single tap.

God, I wrote to the support and they have answered me in 1 day, sending me a file for solving the issue, they say it's just a sw problem.

I'll do it tomorrow and let you know.

have a nice w end.

:confused:

hope it'll work, otherwise I'll have the 2nd replacement... I can't say I'm happy with this phone, I had to buy another phone (hawed) as I can't stay without smartphone...
[ONE General] kripz:
Care to share the file?
[ONE General] Dustdaniel:
Come on man, please, share the file that they send to you.. best regards

I'm scared about doing the insolation fix by my own.. it would be the first time openning a phone
[ONE General] salvatore94:
Same story. The file is nothing more than stock 44s fastboot images that also includes persist and reserve4 partitions. I know because I had the same problem, ghost touches and so on. I want to clarify that this 'file' didn't change nothing. Is an hardware problem.

[ONE General] mihirjoe:
Hey, this seems common for all OPOs. Here in India, its about 35 degree celcius. Sometimes at my workplace, it goes up to 40 deg C (welding workshop). Otherwise, my opo works perfectly indoors in air conditioned places. Can't seem to understand the logic.

Edit : I used my opo in an air conditioned room for the whole day. Found no ghost touches or anything like that. It seems opo can't handle higher temps which is around 35 degree celcius in my case. My opo is manufactured in Nov 14
[ONE General] jartukovic:
Can't wait next summer to see does the problems persist.

If so, i will try the fix with insulation tape.
[ONE General] vantt1:
So the files are just standalone software fixes as opposed to a whole ROM update package.
[ONE General] AcmE85:
What if, God forbid! What if there are actually some devices which WERE NOT FIXED by the latest software update (Touchpanel Firmware)???

Mine wasn't, so I got a replacement through RMA... and then I got another replacement for my replacement because my first replacement had a ****ty camera due to dust behind the lens. xD
[ONE General] TheoKondak:
I contacted support four months ago, i tried to flash everything they suggested. I used to have the latest official CM12.Since then a new version is out as far as i know, but i didn't had the chance to try it since my phone is on RMA for almost 15days now.
[ONE General] marwan91:
I guess you should try it first before opening and riding your phone, though it's not hard to do it, but still.. You can avoid putting your phone in a risk. I hope the software update will solve your problem))
[ONE General] TheoKondak:
I tried the patches they released. It seemed that the issue was fixed, but then it came back shortly after. They recognized that this is a faulty hardware, and they got my phone to check it and replace it, but then out of the blue they said that my phone is water damaged thus no warranty covers it (i am quite sure that my phone never got in touch with any short of liquid but some drops of sweat once or twice). So now, i think that the only thing left for me to do is to try and apply the procedure posted in this thread.
[ONE General] easy_mac:
Hey so im thinking of opening up my OPO to try and fix the touchscreen issues, just had some questions.

I got the 3M tape off of alibaba (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/3M-S...one-A-1-housing-touch-screen/32271918606.html), would this tape be insulating enough to use to stop any grounding issues?

Also, where do the grounding issues occur, by the short fat flex at the top of the screen only? or could the longer flex be involved as well?

Has anyone else had success with this?
[ONE General] vantt1:
That should be enough. It looks like the 3M tape also covers the area underneath the digitizer flex up top. The long flex is for the LCD and it shouldn't affect the functionality of the touchscreen.
[ONE General] easy_mac:
Thank you! So the small one is the digitizer good to know!
[ONE General] rabimba:
Wow. And I thought mine had software issues.

But I have no idea how mine got fixed then by flashing other rom.

For me I faced this issue in any rom regardless of stock/root or CM. The only two which never faced this issue is Blisspop and Sultan's rom. Right now Sultan's rom is my daily driver and never faced the issue again. But previously it used to stop working atleast 3-4 times a day.
[ONE General] vantt1:
I used to have problems with the touchscreen regardless of ROM or kernel, but I didn't stick around to wait for one that worked.
[ONE General] easy_mac:
I hoped to get this, but after taking my phone apart I had no luck separating the screen from the bezel. Hair dryer seemed to have no affect at all :/
[ONE General] vantt1:
Yeah, hairdryers are probably designed so that they aren't hot enough to quickly cause severe burns when used.
[ONE General] CyanDroid:

How did you figure it out the date of manufacturing your oneplus one?
[ONE General] hellcat50:
On the packaging of the phone
[ONE General] curtishunter:
I just testing something.... It is so weird!

If I holding the phone , touching the battery (back cover removed), everything is good! - I don't push the phone. It is just barely lying on the tops of my fingers. BUT! If I put the OPO down on the table (not touching anything but the screen) the half of the screen becoming unresponsive. Any idea?

BTW I tried this "tape" method but it didn't solve my problem...
[ONE General] prototyp01:
I assume that's a grounding issue. I have similar problem with my Pixel C tablet when it's charging and has no additional possibility to ground like my fingers. Then I also have touchscreen issues.
[ONE General] kreda:
I have the same problem, and i make RMA. Are they do something with it or no ?
[ONE General] Airlacks:
Hi, I didn't have any problem with the touchscreen until something happened last few weeks.

During a humid day, after a rain, I started to have ghost touches all of a sudden and found it hard to even unlock my phone, just like most of you guys described. FYI, I did no wet my phone. After everything has settled down on the same day (no more ghost touch). I can use my phone again, but with my touch buttons unusable (I guess it's permanent. Tried restarting and even putting it into a freezer.)

I've to enable the "on-screen nav bar" to use my phone. So I thought I can continue using my phone like this. However, after a few days, I brought my phone to work in a confined space that is very humid. And I had my phone in my pocket. I was sweating alot. When I took my phone out, it got worse. Now my on-screen button is not responding.

So I've to use an app to move the on-screen button to the right of the screen and I've been avoiding bring my phone to a humid place. But... Today.. The affected area got bigger. It's affecting my keyboard too. Looks like it's getting worse even without exposing it to humid area.

Anyone facing this "permanent" defective touch area? Could it be the digitizer grounding? I am currently using CM13.

Any help?
[ONE General] Mr.Ak:
The best solution I can tell you is to replace your display.Doesn't take much.
[ONE General] dieggss:
For me it is clear enough that it is not a sw issue, as sw can't be affected by outside conditions. I am from Spain and I just came back to Madrid from the beach. It has been impossible to use my opo while I was in the beach. Now at home it works great. I will do a final test using a hair dryer and the fridge to make sure it's the heat that recreates this issue.

[ONE General] dieggss:
Well, this has been quite weird. After I finished with the hair dryer (around 2mins)the phone worked well, just a couple of missed tabs when writing, nothing like in my past issues. Afterwards I placed it in the fridge (3-4mins). Here is when it went weird, Doble tab stopped working, I couldn't unlock the phone with my code, it took about 1 min for the phone to start working properly again. I will try to make more tests
