JAKARTA Ghost touch is a situation where your phone reacts without being touched. When this problem occurs, usually the phone will open the app or input anything randomly without being controlled. As long as the ghost touch occurs, you can't open, click, or run features and applications on the phone. Therefore, you have to solve the problem first. Here are some ways that can be done to overcome ghost touch on an Android phone. Clear Touch Screen Reporting from Makeuseof, the initial action you have to take is to clean the screen of your Android phone. When the screen is dirty or splashed with water, the phone is usually out of control and difficult to touch. Therefore, clean the screen first using a soft cloth. Don't use a tissue or cloth made of dry cloth because the fiber inside it can leave a scratch on your phone screen. Change Screen Cover The next way you can do is to remove the screen shield and replace it with a new one. If your screen protector is already damaged or not installed properly, dust or dirt can enter and cause ghost touch. When changing the screen shield, make sure the screen's sensitivity is of good quality so that the screen sensitivity is not affected anymore. Before buying a new one, remove the old screen protector to make sure that the problem does come from the screen protector.

Don't Let Overheat Overheat Phones or the condition of your very hot phone can make your Android phone experience ghost touch. If this happens, try to activate the airplane mode or turn off the phone so that the system doesn't work for a while. After that, bring the device closer to a cold place like the floor or use a fan. Don't put your phone in the refrigerator. If the device is cold, try turning it on again and see if the ghost touch is still happening.
