They opened to me an RMA 3 weeks ago, in 2 days i reserved courrier delivery, and in a week from it goes away from my hand, i had a new opo in new box with new cable etc. So my suggest is: request an RMA. They are the best.

ciao, quanto tempo ci hanno messo per risponderti la prima volta?? io ho aperto l'RMA per problemi al touch il 17/4 e 2 giorni fa mi ha risposto un certo Ronald dicendo che avrebbe passato la richiesta al secondo livello di assistenza. E' questa la procedura giusta??

Eng: how much days they took for answering the first time? i opened rma on 04/17 and 2 days ago they answered me that the request would've been passed to the second level of tech support.

**** that. It's a grounding problem with the hardware. The screen connector touches the metal frame.
I opened my phone today and tried to insulate it. And it freaking worked. My screen is back to perfection :good:

Probably was an hardware issue. They replaced my old opo in warranty, since 3 weeks ago. I tested it and no grounding or ghost touch issues. We'll see in the next summer, my issues started with hot temperature.

Since I am considering doing that myself (as the RMA process is painfully slow and there is no guarantee that the new unit will not have the same problem after a while), can you please elaborate a little more on the process (things to watch out for, etc)?
When you say it worked, do you mean it truly, totally worked (could this be a placebo?). The thing that freaks me out most concerning the screen unresponsiveness issue is how slow long lists scroll... They used to reach the top/bottom with just a small fling of the thumb and now I have to fling 3-4 times to get there...

Well no, it worked for a day, now it just got back.. Pissing me off really hard.
Yeah, list scrolling, typing.. It's not tapping anymore, it's pressing.

Probably I forgot to insulate a part of the connector which now touches the metal frame again.
I'll repeat the process today and post back.


If you want to try it yourself, I used this post from the Oneplus forums: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...-hint-it-was-never-a-software-problem.186235/

What scares me most on the disassembly procedure is separating the screen from the chassis (heating it, etc). Was it easy to do or should I be looking at buying a new screen after I try?

It isn't THAT difficult, and the screen won't break. The adhesive is only around the edges of the screen.
The most difficult part is getting below the screen somehow, but once you're there, it's easy.

The problematic part is the assembling. The screen won't stick to the metal frame by itself anymore.
The link in my last post has a guide on how to dissasamble and assemble the whole thing: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...reen-replacement-re-assembly-tutorial.186070/

It wasn't a definitive fix for me though, but probably I missed insulating a part of the connector. Didn't have the time to check it yet

So this is what I have done so far

In my case, the best results (in terms of user experience and effect) with the Tasker are when I just set shell command "cat /sys/class/input/input0/baseline_test" on screen off without any vibrations etc. I don't need to wait, don't need any vibration etc. Just works like without it and it feels better :)
