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.

#Viral ang bidyo ng mobile #phone ng isang Bayan Patroller na diumano ay na-#hack dahil sa kusa nitong paggalaw matapos kumonekta sa public wifi.

Para kay Cyber Security Analyst at Manila Bulletin Technology Editor Art Samaniego, may posibilidad na ito ay insidente ng “ghost touch.”

after suffering from severe #ghosttouch problems with #Fairphone4 since ever, I decided to finally change the screen ... took 10 minutes ... problem solved, cross fingers, that it doesn't come back 🙄

How hackers are getting into your phone without a password: ‘GhostTouch’ expert

To use the GhostTouch method, the hacker would just have to be in close proximity to their intended victim. Then the attacker can use electromagnetic signals to simulate primary touch events like taps and swipes on targeted locations of the touchscreen

Contactless attack against capacitive touchscreens on remote devices of specific make and models

"The attack, which works from a distance of up to 40mm, hinges on the fact that capacitive touchscreens are sensitive to EMI, leveraging it to inject electromagnetic signals into transparent electrodes that are built into the touchscreen so as to register them as touch events."
