I have a Samsung Galaxy s4 Active and have been experiencing serious issues of late. When using the phone, I get a lot of ghost touches. I enabled the dev option to see touches, and often, there will be a row of 5 "touches" indicated across the screen. It happens on one of two areas; in portrait, the bottom of the screen, and the middle of the screen.
When this isn't happening, I get "double touches" where I'm typing. I use Swiftkey and if I type a 'g' or a 't', the phone registers two touches. Same for 'p' usually. I tried turning off Swiftkey, but still had the problems.
I've booted into safe mode, deleted a bunch of third party apps, seen an OS upgrade, turned off and on again, but nothing seems to work.
Has anyone here had this issue and/or know how to fix it? I found this post on another forum about a different device about digitizer grounding issues, but before prying open the phone (and potentially getting in over my head) I wanted to know what others thought.
Thanks!
