How to fix the ghost touch problem on Android.

When you now know the causes of ghost touch on Android, here are the best ways to fix it on your own.

Use a high-quality charger

First, if you only experience ghost touch on your phone while charging it, the best thing you could do is get another charger that is compatible with your phone. If you still have the charger bundled with your phone, we recommend you use it instead. Otherwise, simply get a new charger from a reputable company or your brand's official store.

Keep the screen clean.

The screen relies on the contact between your finger and the touchpad to execute any action. This also applies when the screen has foreign particles - maybe from dirty fingers or dust from the environment. In this case, keep your phone screen clean to get rid of Android ghost touch problem.

It's easy to do, just turn off the screen, get clean wipes (or soft cloth), then gently wipe over the screen. Do not scratch the screen with sharp objects.

Also, you might run into ghost touches if your screen is cracked/scratched. So ensure to keep the phone safe from scratches.

Take breaks between screen usages.

To fix/avoid ghost touches on your Android phone, you also need to keep the phone in normal temperature and always remember to take breaks between screen usages, especially when the phone gets hot. Also, endeavor not to use the phone under hot temperatures - under direct sunlight, etc.

Replace the phone screen

This still matters. If your screen couldn't heal from ghost touch, it could be a call to replace the screen. Perhaps the screen is getting weak, water got inside it, or it was replaced with a bad screen component. All you need to do is find a competent engineer around you and fix the screen - usually the official service centre for your phone.

Take it to the service centre.

Finally, if your screen couldn't heal from ghost touch, the last thing you can do is take it to a repairer to fix the screen for you. It might not even be caused by the screen, but once it's a hardware issue, it should be fixed by a professional technician.

If you own a TECNO, Infinix, or itel smartphone, you could easily fix ghost touch by bringing your phone down to Carlcare. We're the official service provider for these brands, and we're experts in diagnosing and fixing any issue you might come through on these devices.
