Ghost Touch = Irritating Moto G4 Plus

[natethai]

I have a Motorola G4 Plus and I am getting ghost touches when I am charging and when I am not charging. It's really irritating and as of right now, I am waiting for my OnePlus One to return so I can use that phone and get a replacement phone (even though it's possible the replacement phone is gonna have the same problem) for this phone. Any temporary fixes besides turning off and on the screen?

Charge ur Phone with a Standard Charger (i personally use a power bank ) and Also Using Battery Saver Outside Limits this Issue for me
Permanent Fix is Going To SC and Getting ur Display Callibarated

This is completely wrong, calibrating your display does nothing as the display (frame?) is storing extra charge from the TurboCharger, resulting in "ghost touches".

Ghost touches shouldn't be an issue with this phone, and if they are, you should definitely take it to Motorola for a replacement.

I would return the Moto G4 for good.. the OnePlus One is a much faster phone, not to mention it has a better development community. Hell, it has a better battery as well.

Save the cash, and purchase a better phone- the OnePlus 3T and Axon 7 would be very good upgrades to the OnePlus One.

And yes **screen callibration** was the term coined by the service center guys. i visited the service center myself.

I believe returning the phone is a 30-day contract otherwise you can't return it passed 30 days, right? I already had it for a few months and this ghost touch started happening for a month. I asked to return it but they said that since I have a warranty on the phone, the only option is to get a replacement phone. I love phones suggestions so it's okay if you do bring them up. Once I RMA my phone and get a replacement phone, I am probably just going to sell it and get a better phone than the OnePlus One and use the OnePlus One as my backup phone just in case there are any issues with the new phone. Anyways, I appreciate all of your suggestions and thank you for all your help.

I have an athene m8. I'm simply stating the facts. The OPO is simply a better phone- more ram, better cpu/gpu/battery, etc.

I never really experienced any problems with the OPO. I dropped the OPO on my school messenger bag once face flat and like the bottom portion was not responding to my touches all of a sudden. Only issue I had and I already sent it in for repairs. I plan on buying the OnePlus 3 or 3t as soon as I get this phone rma, replaced, and sold.

Flashing a custom rom could solve the ghost touching? Do you know?

I got you. Indeed you are right. But you need to understand that your post deviates from the question posted and, as you can see now, led into a different discussion that does not even belong to Moto G Plus forums.
