Soo yeah man I got a nexus 5. I dropped it like 3 or 4 times, yes there’s a thin crack on the screen, it’s almost invisible. The problem is that sometimes when I turn on my phone, there’s a weird force that touches my screen repeatedly. Sometimes I feel like my nexus 5 is possessed by a spirit or some $@$*. I keep doing researches to resolve this problem, and I also ask ppl if they ever had the same issues with their phones, but nobody ever had this problem. Any of y’all can help me? -Kurtis
The problem is that the screen is creating a “ghost touch” affect which is caused by the crack. The screen thinks it is being touched because the crack is interfering with the display. You can prove this by going to settings, turning on developer settings, and turning on show taps in developer settings. To turn on developer settings, go to about phone, click the build number a few times, and developer settings will be turned on. If you can see the taps occuring without you touching the screen, than you need a new screen.
