Touch Sensitivity is Wonky at Times

[karlkarloff]

So, I've noticed a weird problem my RP2 has. I carry it in my hip pocket, and at times (happens frequently enough to be annoying) when I pull it out to use it, the screen doesn't respond to a normal touch. I have to really push down hard on the screen to get it to register. If I let it sit for a few seconds/minutes the touch responsiveness fixes itself and it can be used normally. Not sure if it could be a physical problem with the digitizer/connection or if something is going on when it is "asleep" in my pocket. Just weird that it fixes itself. Anybody else see anything like this or have a suggestion as to what it could be? The phone is totally usable, and even when it messes up it still works I just have to push super hard to get it to do anything. Sometimes i'm afraid I'm going to snap the glass, although I don't really think that is likely to happen. Thanks for any ideas.

Just to weigh in I also have this issue not very often but enough to notice it. Especially since the last update also when I zoom with the stock camera it just freezes.

I'm having similar issues, camera fixes if i reboot but thats annoying if your trying to get a moving shot, also noticed it sometimes freezes switching to portrait mode.
For the screen freeze I have found if i use my finger print to unlock when the screen isnt responding its starts to work. but i didnt have the problem until i put on a crappy glass screen protector.

I just got the phone and im using arters r2 kernel with f2fs on data, as well as magisk and xposed so i wasn't sure if it was something i did but since others are seeing it ill assume its something with the phone and see if theres any fixes or decide if i should return it.

Mine does that too, but I'm not on the new kernel. Maybe it has something to do with the ambient display being turned on.

Ok so since turning off my ambient display, no issues so far.

I use Ambient Display and sometimes the screen behaves as you've described where it won't reach to touch, but I've always just given it time/pressed the power button repeatedly until the screen came on (or continued to tap the screen lightly)... never tried pressing down very hard.

Not to Necro a thread but I've experienced this aswell, infact it's happening right now as I type this.
