I installed CPU-Z just to check on my International 8GB/256 model and I've got no issue with ghost touches. Not sure what is causing this for you all, but I do hope it is sorted out for you all.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] AJDude12345:
When I turned off NFC the issue went away for me :confused: glad I don't use it whatsoever haha
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Well that's not a solution disabling a useful feature to not have ghost touch issue.

On screen/off screen gesture are one of my favorite using it, so not a solution to me.

Simple will return the device.

I haven't order yet but i will next couple of days.

There's many reports across oneplus forum.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] deuse:
I left CPU-Z running for at least 10 mins.

And all is OK. Maybe it's a rouge program or something to do with the unlock\twrp?

The only way to be sure is to reset to stock and only install CPU-Z

Seems OnePlus using Novatek panels https://github.com/OnePlusOSS/andro...input/touchscreen/oneplus_touchscreen/Novatek

Poco F1 had same problems with Novatec and only way fix it was replacing whole panels, they tried to fix over updates but witout luck
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Wow that's seems real bummer.

Why would OP use Novatek display controller since had bad reputation and bad track record.

So the question is how do we know if all that units effected having all of the them Novatek display controller?

Or if there's another supplier for those units that don't have that issue.

Man things are getting much worse if it's hardware related and not software that I thought.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rdsreference:
It's extremely annoying it has happened to me a few times even when I was boasting about the new device to some colleagues at work. I thought it was me at first until then I read IRS an actual thing. I won't return it yet but I might if it's not sorted soon. It's extremely irritating.

Looks like ghost touches are related to NFC. Try with NFC turned off.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rage77:
Can confirm. My Ghost touches seize when NFC is disabled.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ducted:
I've started yesterday experiencing that ghost touchs and also screen not responsive to touch in some panel sections (mostly the upper right zone). The phone didn't gave me that problem since I bought. I noticed when this happening, pulling the notification bar down to the tile settings makes that zone work again. Same thing happened when that random ghost touchs happens.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] justasalekna:
Didn't had any problems, don't use NFC, tried turning it on, ghost touches started appearing on cpuz, but not on other apps. As i don't use NFC i probably won't return the phone.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ducted:
I just tried with CPU-Z and a few seconds after starting the app, the screen turns crazy tapping here and there. Can confirm also disabling NFC solves it.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Turning off nfc or not using gestures or not using cpuz app is just temporary solution.

And there's multiple reports that ghost issues happening other app too.

And we never know if thing get worse over time.

I'm afraid it's a more common issue than we thought but many users simple didn't notice it until now.

Oneplus should clearly take attention on that issue seriously and fix it ASAP.

Shouldn't be happening at all with any kind app or scenario of usage.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric214:
I can't reproduce it on my 12/256. Turned on NFC and installed CPU z and flipped through the tabs for about 30 seconds and then just let it sit there for about 4 min and no ghost touches.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ducted:
Heh, it happens also after a few seconds adding a widget to the screen, I just tried.

I suspect that the 90 Hz screen setting is also involved in this. Please, someone having the glitch, reenable the NFC and set the screen refresh to 60 Hz (no matter if the screen resolution is set to QHD, UHD or auto), and open CPU-Z. For me this solves the ghost touchs too...

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------

Mine didn't that weird things until yesterday (I received the phone the past tuesday 21), and I noticed because the three dot menus placed to the top right of the screen in any app wasn't working. Has been today when I read about CPU-Z that I tried and all the screen being act mad.

Mine is also the 12/256, but you don't need to swith between tabs to reproduce the glitch. Just open the app and wait. Mine start doing automatic taps after a few seconds.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] whoamanwtf:
I had never seen this issue on my device before, nor did I use NFC. I took an Amiibo, turned on NFC and set the phone down then circled it with the amiibo. The ghost touches strike with a vengeance! Turn off NFC and I see no more. It definitely has to do with the NFC
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] AJDude12345:
I mean well...I did say it was NFC and got no thanks ? haha it's fine but just a shame really when they're saying this is their best phone yet and yes even though the price is lower than many flagships it doesn't mean we have to "settle" for this especially when people are locked in a contract over it
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Hirs_E_Fruit:
Well I tried it and no ghost touch issue here!

[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] AJDude12345:
So weird how it's only affecting some models even though they're using the same hardware, obviously only differences are RAM and storage...how bloody strangeeee:confused:

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

I'm using GM1913 in the UK and suffer with it, could it be to do with interference from antennas in different countries since not all models suffer it?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Debopam.exe:
Because it seems to be happening only when NFC is turned on, maybe it's because different batches are using different NFC antennas. I personally didn't even know the problem existed until I checked out this forum.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bp328i:
No ghost touches here (NFC enabled) but CPU-Z is the only app I have found that I can see the proximity sensor with my naked eye and not looking through a camera.

Anyone else seeing this?

[youtube]OHVUmpUOXQ4[/youtube]
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] spanjeli:
That's the proximity sensor
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bp328i:
Right, I called it the wrong thing, but are you able to see it with a naked eye when using CPU-Z?

If I look at the phone with the screen off through a camera I can see it but the only time I've ever seen it with my naked eye is when using CPU-Z
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] spanjeli:
Maybe it has something with testing sensors in cpu z, try another similar app for testing and see if there is anything similar
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] insomnia77:
That's why I think it's a hardware issue. I would like oneplus to hurry with a fix so I can my place my order again
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] cmart0125:
I just tried it with my T-Mobile variant and NFC seems to be the issue. I downloaded the app cpu-z and opened with NFC off and no ghost touch, then I enabled NFC and boom the ghost touches began.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Co.okie4u:
No Problem when NFC off @ 90 Hz.

Working also with 60 Hz and NFC on.

90 Hz with NFC on and the Screen goes crazy.

I've got the 8/256 version and I can confirm it happens with NFC on when CPU-Z is running.

I'm having ghost scrolling happen to me. If I'm slowly scrolling through Instagram or 9GAG for example, the phone will scroll down very fast and will scroll pretty far as well.

Haven't had issues with just touches/taps though.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BoboBrazil:
It's also now being reported that trying to use NFC payments in stores cause it to go crazy.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mcn1970:
happened to me while on Facebook app
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] derausgewanderte:
US version. can confirm it exists on mine as well, wow. Hope they can fix this. I've not experienced this on any other apps I've installed.

But then I also hear this happens with CPU-Z on other phones as well? enjoying the phone and not touching CPU-Z and see how this develops.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BoboBrazil:
I don't see how it can be fixed with software. It seems to be poor isolation of the NFC chip that's causing other sensors to go crazy. Also if it was a software issue, this would affect everyone.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] geecol:
Is it worth RMA'ing / reordering and sending current phone back, or is it likely the next one will have the same issue?

can confirm it happens in Cpuz app (sideloaded apk from internet) only when NFC is on.

I NEVER use NFC so thats a relief. I dont use Facebook either so I cant confirm Facebug ..

with the cpuz\nfc combo it also happens when splitscreening (no matter which other app it is or which one is on top or bottom)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Archon810:
This happens without NFC on, so it's not NFC.

Build date on your unit? I have a feeling that is due to a bad batch off the assembly line where they didn't set the screen properly? Right now most faulty units seem to fall in the 5/5-5/8 range
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Archon810:
How do you find out the actual phone assembly date?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BoboBrazil:
On the sticker on the back of the box it should have a qc number and then a date. I think if you have the T-Mobile version it's on the side of the box.

Mine says QC 2019/4/27.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BoboBrazil:
Interesting, seems like some have the issue in April then. It could be caused by poor shielding of the NFC chip causing the other sensors to go haywire. That's my only other guess.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bp328i:
I think this might be software related. I have the T-Mobile version that I just unlocked the bootloader and switched to the international OOS 9.5.3.

I had no ghost touches when on the T-Mobile software with NFC on or off. Now with the international OOS 9.5.3 and NFC on I'm getting them.

It is NFC which is to blame. I have ghost touches when NFC is enabled. None when NFC is disabled.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
There's multiple reports that even turning off NFC there's still ghost touches.

So its not NFC to blame in all situation.

And how come some people have it others no, no matter NFC on or off?

If NFC was the caused of the issue all users would had the same symptoms.

As other mention earlier there's change the issue got caused by Novatek display controller .

I use NFC tags around my house and I have an NFC enabled does lock on the front door to my house. So I toggle and use NFC multiple times a day. I don't need to turn on show touches, my screen behaves properly

Everybody in the thread notes that they see the ghost touches while using CPU-Z with NFC turned on. Does the built-in "show taps" setting in the developer options show them even without CPU-Z?

You mean Bluetooth-speakers?

NFC is only used for pairing the speakers but the actual data transfer between phone and speaker goes through Bluetooth.

Disabling NFC does not impact Bluetooth.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] frosty5689:
It seems to only happen in CPU-Z with NFC turned on. Which makes me think there is a bug with NFC code that causes it to trigger random touch inputs when certain NFC APIs are called. I'm just guessing as to why this only happens inside CPU-Z. CPU-Z detects sensors and read data from it, this includes NFC, which could explain why it only happens inside CPU-Z. To make ghost touch detectioj easier turn on "Show taps" in Developer Options.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] KayEmR:
I don't have CPU-Z installed, never had, and I'm experiencing these ghost touches. It's infrequent and very random, not a huge issue but still annoying. But, it's definitely not limited to CPU-Z.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Pretty obvious this is an NFC shielding hardware problem.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dorsefrith:
I do not think it is that easy to validate. I had no issue on 9.5.4 soft, only in CPU-Z now after I have installed 9.5.5 I have random and very rare ghost touches around different apps. Some people claim that problem did not existed on 9.5.1 at ll.

All we need is OnePlus statement and decision. If it is hardware they should exchange all impacted models, if software then quick actions must be done.

Don't think so. It happens anywhere, not in specific locations. I've heard NFC devices can make it really freak out, but it happens with or without them.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
If it was hardware then it would happen on all firmwares and everyone would have seen it on other apps apart from CPU-Z.

The fact 9.5.1 had no issues proves its not hardware.

The Pro 5G 9.5.1 is based on 9.5.3 Pro fw as it contains April patch and same kernel version and there already been memory leak issues with commits against it on the github for the kernel.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Not exactly.

Hardware related doesn't mean that all devices have it.

But only some effective bad batch unit.

There's users saying even nower firmware version and not having issues.

But others said the opposite.

So to me its not software issue.

More likely it's hardware failure some batch unit.
