Anyone else get ghost screen touches with new leaked Froyo?

MrDSL · #1 (**permalink**) 07-31-2010, 08:51 AM

It only happens when I use any ROM based off the .47 OTA and now the newer froyo 2.2 versions that have been released. I realize they are not final but a final version is obviously not going to fix my problem.

I feel I am probably a very small number of people with this issue. If I run any other ROM I don't have the issue but obviously there is something either with my phone or in the kernel or something effecting my phone.

What do I mean by ghost screen touch? Randomly using the phone it will register touches at the top of my screen. Bad enough to make the screen unusuable and I have to turn the screen off and on multiple times till it goes away.

This is on a completely stock ROM without me adding any software or anything. I also have no screen protectors etc. I have eliminated everything I can.

The only thing I can think of is I know before the .47 OTA some people complained about a grounding issue. I never had that problem personally but whatever they changed I think may be causing this because any ROM before that is fine.

Rev. 002 with Novatech screen. I get 5 points on Dotty also. Bought on launch.

thanks for reading.

You guys will have to exchange your phone. If you have insurance, just call sprint and they will ship you a new one.

I emailed Sprint and they want me to take to a Spring store and have a tech do some testing or whatever. So now I have to hope that it actually happens while they look at it.

Very fustrating because frankly I don't want to exchange my phone cause I like it as is but I can't deal with this too much longer.

Unless you're waiting on a really important call, why not take them the problem? Meaning, don't reset your screen so they see it first hand.

Its not that simple....the problem happens so randomly that its hard to determine when it will happen. Our luck would be that it won't even mess up around the sprint techs. Its not a cosmetic defect meaning you cant just look at the phone and tell its messed up. Its what the phone does while its messing up.

Its hard to get it to happen on command thats the issue really. Using it daily as much as I do obviously I'm going to notice it but getting it to do it when the tech is using it will be challenging.
