Welp. I've been happy with my #Fairphone #FP4 for some time now, but now I've been having the dreaded ghost touch issue where the phone taps on things itself. It happens maybe once every one or two days. Ironically I had it happen when I was reading the long-ass thread about this exact issue on the Fairphone forum. The blue line in the screenshots is Android's "show pointer position" feature.
The consequences for me so far are the pressing of "y" when I'm typing, and activating the 112 emergency calling app from the home screen when I didn't tap it myself. It remains to be seen if this issue grows in severity but for now it's under control.
The worst part is that there is apparently no fix. Fairphone sends users new screens but it keeps reappearing. There are some community fixes where results may vary. There's over 700 posts in the forum thread!
I was hoping to keep this phone for a long time because I hate the amount of e-waste we generate by regularly switching phones. I hope this won't ruin my plan.
