Hi Guys,
I have a strange problem with my Xiaomi MI2S. From time to time my phone goes crazy and pretends as if it is being repeatedly touched by a "invisible finger". It happens several times a day and it lasts usually only several seconds but this invisible finger is very quick and presses the screen several times a second.
It is very annoying because it interferes with Apps and Games and I usually lost a game or work.
The random touches are usually on left top corner and near the center of the top edge.
I bought the phone from www.ibuygou.com. When I tried to get a solution to the issue from them they told me to check this forum. The phone is brand new. I have received it on September 25 2013.
The problem first occurred almost immediately after unboxing (without installing 3rd party app) when I was doing the initial setup. I tried to install MIUI 3.10.11 but it did not help.
I have been able to find more information about this on the internet and this phenomenon is called "phantom touches". I have managed to record it with my other phone.
You can watch the video here (watch small white circles at the top of the screen):
I enabled these settings on the device in order to record it:
Settings/Developer options/Enable development - ON
Settings/Developer options/Show touches - ON
Settings/Developer options/Pointer location- ON
I have discussed this problem in Czech MIUI forum http://www.miui.cz/index.php/topic,1142.0.html and there are at least 6 other people with the same problem.
- the phone is without antivirus
- I have tried reboot several times
- the screen is clean and without a screen protector
- I have never rooted the phone
I am able to interrupt this "Ghost touches" with sleep button on the side.
Is there a solution to this problem?
