The sensor on the phone turns on everything. Free up internal memory and storage space

The tablet is a popular machine that helps users to have a great rest, watch movies, surf and communicate on the net. This is the device that could successfully replace a stationary PC and even a laptop on the road. However, even with such an electronic assistant, incidents happen when he begins to "live his own life." This is manifested in the fact that the device itself calls virtual keyboard, and after that it starts to press buttons on its own. However, it is not in the wiser artificial intelligence, but about a variety of breakdowns. You can understand why the tablet itself presses the buttons by reading the tips of experts and advanced users who themselves have encountered such a situation.

The tablet presses the buttons on its own: possible causes and solutions to the problem

Quite often, the problem lies in the mechanical damage to the sensor of the device. Experts and users themselves note that the sensor independently calls the keyboard and presses the buttons on the tablets various models, when:

  • The device has only recently been reflashed. Moreover, the procedure was carried out artisanally, unverified software was used. In this case, there is a way out - you need to contact a specialized computer service center to provide computer ambulance. If the user has the opportunity to reset all settings and reflash the device again, but only with high quality, you need to do this.
  • It was mechanical damage sensor. The user himself may not pay attention to what happened, when the equipment was pressed down in the bag when carrying, it was damaged. In this case ideal solution the sensor will be replaced.
  • Software or the technical error. Sometimes calibration and charging up to 100% helps.

In some cases, the cause of involuntary button presses is static electricity. This option is easier to solve - you need to turn off the device (pull the plug out of the socket if the tablet was charging) and give it time to "rest". In some cases, five minutes is enough, in others it will take much more time (up to a day).

Modern smart phones and other manufacturers are endowed with many useful features, which can be operated with one touch of the touch screen. With the advent of sensors, there was no need to hit the keys, which on older models of phones now and then jammed or flew out. But do not think that touch displays work flawlessly. Sometimes there are situations when the touchscreen starts to work spontaneously, starting unnecessary applications or making unwanted calls. In this article, we will answer the question why the touchscreen itself presses the screen and what causes this problem.

Causes of spontaneous operation of sensors

More often spontaneous operation Taskin occurs due to a software or hardware failure. In the first case, the problem is caused by malfunctions in the software of the gadget, and in the second case, the breakdown of component parts. Most common causes malfunctioning sensors are:

  • device drop,
  • mechanical damage to the device,
  • poor build quality
  • low quality resistive display.

By browsing the forums, the user may decide that the only way to correct this problem is to open the smartphone and rummage through the hardware. In fact, you need to start with programmatic methods, which we will describe below.

Correction of spontaneous operation of the touchscreen by resetting the settings

If you notice that the touchscreen in Android is buggy and presses the buttons itself, you need to try resetting the settings and restoring them to the factory level. To do this, first save your contacts and important data to your PC and take the following steps:

  • go to the "Settings" menu,
  • select the "Personal data" tab,
  • in this block, select the item "Reset and restore",
  • go down to the item "Return to factory settings",
  • reset the settings by clicking on the appropriate tab,
  • in the window that appears, click on "Reset device settings".

In most cases, after rebooting the device, the touchscreen starts working normally.

Correction of spontaneous operation of the touchscreen using calibration

Recalibration is a procedure that must be performed if the phone has been dropped from a height, been in water, or if the display has been replaced. There are two calibration methods - using standard means or special applications.

Standard tools are applicable in cases where the device is able to determine the angle of the touchscreen. To calibrate it, follow these steps:

  • launch the "Settings" menu,
  • go to the "Display" tab,
  • select "Calibration",
  • place the device on a flat surface,
  • start the calibration process.

Thereafter good smartphone or the tablet itself will determine the optimal touch angle of the touchscreen and complete the calibration.

If your gadget does not have built-in screen calibration tools, then you will need to download from service Play Market special application, for example, Touchscreen Calibration. It's different high precision and ease of use. After launching the application and completing the calibration, which is also carried out on a flat surface, restart the smartphone.

Correction of spontaneous operation of the touchscreen by hardware methods

Above, we figured out what to do if the touchscreen itself presses on the display and why this problem occurs. If the software methods did not help you, then most likely the problem is caused by a hardware malfunction. Most often this happens with Chinese phone models. They are usually equipped with resistive displays, that is, glasses with a flexible membrane. Compared to capacitive displays, they are less durable and wear out quickly.


Often in Chinese models phone parts are attached to each other using low-quality double-sided tape. It also affects the operation of the touchscreen badly. In both cases, only a qualified service center specialist who has necessary equipment and spare parts for your phone model.

Greetings! I didn’t want to write the title of the article that way, but it’s very difficult to find another word other than “buggy”. It pretty much describes everything. possible problems with a screen that lives by itself - keyboard buttons are pressed, desktops are scrolled, applications are launched, all without your knowledge. And the display itself does not respond to pressing! It would seem - some kind of mysticism, but all this has a logical explanation and now we will find out what it is. Go!

But first, let's decide after what actions the screen of your iPhone or iPad can begin to live its own life. There are not so many of them:

  1. Firmware update.
  2. Physical damage (fall, impact, moisture ingress).
  3. Replacement or repair of the display (and not only).

That's all. Although no, there is another option - none of the above happened, and the screen suddenly began to "fail".

Let's start with the general preparation of the device, which will help eliminate some of the standard points that cause the touchscreen to behave in such an incomprehensible way:

  • If there is a film or glass stuck to the device, remove it.
  • Wipe the screen thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use special wiping liquids, sometimes they can simply ruin the oleophobic coating.
  • In order to exclude software problem and errors in iOS, do a hard reset of the device.

Yes, everything that is listed above is rather banal, but it can help. However, this is not all the actions that can be performed in order to get the display working.

And the first thing you should pay attention to is non-original power supplies and Lighting wires. Although rather we will talk after all, about the wires (the adapter itself, as a rule, does not greatly affect the operation of the device). Here they are - yes, they can spoil the nerves.

Once I myself encountered this and saw how a person’s phone was charging and at the same time periodically lit up, the screen unlocked, pressed by itself, characters were printed on the keyboard. Frankly, I was very surprised how iPhone yet did not call somewhere on your own!?


After a short conversation, it turned out that although it annoys a person, but buying original wire he just doesn't want to (I rarely use him, and that's fine!). The fact that the spontaneous pressing of the display is not the worst thing that can happen, and the battery will definitely have to be changed soon, he was not interested.

Conclusion one: if iPhone display lives its own life and does not respond to pressing only during charging, with a high probability the charger is to blame. Change and use only certified accessories.

If everything is OK with the charger, then you should go to next reason These are low-quality display modules. They became easy great amount, but there is an explanation for this:

  1. Many models are simply wildly popular, such as the iPhone 5S.
  2. To Russia original displays not officially delivered.
  3. China will help everyone.

Here's to you a large number of screens varying degrees quality. Moreover, they can be installed both during repairs and on “new” (actually restored it is not clear where) iPhones. And if you are unlucky, and the screen is set to the very “left”, then accidental clicks and other joys of life are provided.

By the way, characteristic feature This defect becomes that after locking / unlocking the device, everything returns to normal, but for a while, and then it starts to “fail” again. This can manifest itself both immediately after repair / replacement, and after iOS updates. How to proceed in this case? Option two:

  1. Set normal display.
  2. Try sticking a film or glass.

The most interesting thing is that some workshops, knowing the quality of the display they install, when replacing the module, “as a gift” stick a sticker on the screen. Often this is done just to ensure that the iPhone or iPad display behaves correctly and does not live its own life. Genius move! The difference between good and bad screen- large, and the price of the film - small. And everyone is happy: the client thinks that the service is good - he even glued the film, and the workshop itself won in money.


Conclusion two: if the iPhone display is "buggy", most likely it's just not very good quality. Replacement required. There is also a more budget solution that helps many - film (glass) stickers. With the iPad, the situation is completely similar, only it's harder to glue :)

There is another reason why the touchscreen can behave strangely. But here it would be more correct to say that it will not process clicks at all, and not “just” work in the wrong place.

Maybe, we are talking about the display sensor controller and it's very sad. It can be damaged in the event of a fall, shock, moisture ingress into the gadget and the lack of timely action to remove this very liquid. Only a few service centers have the skill of soldering it (the procedure is done in order not to change the entire system board entirely). Well, it also costs money, respectively - of course, it is cheaper than a complete replacement of the board, but still ...

Conclusion three: the most severe malfunction in which the iPhone display is pressed by itself is a breakdown of the screen sensor controller. Compared to previous problems, it is rare, and much harder to fix.


Here is such an unpleasant conclusion at the end of the article ...

However, I really hope that all the "glitches" of the screen of your iPhone will be cured by an elementary replacement charger, wires, well, or in extreme cases, a sticker of a film or glass. And it will not come to a complex repair in the service center. Let it be so!

P.S. And to increase the chances of a successful outcome - put "like" and click on the buttons social networks, +50% luck guaranteed :)

P.S.S. And of course, if you have any questions or good advice how to defeat the "buggy" display - be sure to write in the comments!

What are the reasons for the spontaneous operation of the touchscreen

Conventionally, the reasons that the sensor itself is pressed can be divided into two categories:

  • Software failure - occurs due to errors in the software (software) of the smartphone;
  • Hardware failure - errors associated with damage to the component parts of the device.

Depending on the model of your smartphone and the circumstances under which the erroneous operation of the screen occurred, it is more or less likely to say which of the above failures caused this problem. So, in Chinese budget models(according to statistics, most often in Alcatel and Xiaomi) incorrect functioning of the touchscreen occurs as a result of poor build quality apparatus and a cheap resistive display, vulnerable, as you know, to the accumulation of static charge on its surface. Dropping a smartphone or pressing hard on its screen can also cause trouble with the touchscreen.

However, you should not despair. Before claiming that screen errors arose due to hardware damage, you should try to fix this problem software methods. Let's consider them in more detail.


How to eliminate the spontaneous operation of the sensor programmatically

So, let's look at several ways to solve this problem on our own.

Method 1: factory reset your smartphone

Depending on the smartphone model, the restoration of the “default” functioning parameters is performed in a certain settings section. However, the path to them is the same for most devices, only the names of these blocks differ. Therefore, we will consider how to perform a factory reset, using an example Philips smartphone S326.


Method 2: Screen Calibration

Recalibration of the touchscreen may be needed not only in the event of a software failure, after which the sensor on the smartphone clicks by itself. After the fall mobile device from a height, getting it into the water, replacing the display, etc. calibration must be carried out in without fail- this can help in most of the cases listed here. Let's consider two methods that allow us to carry out this procedure.

Screen calibration using standard tools built into the smartphone

In those models of devices that have standard functionality the ability to determine the angle of the touchscreen, you can calibrate it without using special utilities. For this:

  1. Go to the "Settings" section of our device;
  2. In the block "Display", "Screen" or " Special abilities"Find the item" Calibration "and click on it;
  3. In the next window, it is suggested, as a rule, to put the phone on a flat surface and start the calibration procedure, then your device will automatically adjust the optimal touch angle and complete it.

Using the dedicated app "Touchsreen Calibration"

The the way is fine those whose smartphone models do not have built-in tools for screen calibration. The application compares favorably with similar ones, primarily due to its ease of use, as well as the very high accuracy of determining the angle of inclination of the sensor.

  1. So, to calibrate the screen using Touchscreen Calibration, you need:
  2. Download the application from the link Google Play- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=redpi.apps.touchscreencalibration;
  3. After installation, run the program start window we see the inscription "Calibrate" framed in blue background, you need to click on it;
Click on "Calibrate" to start the touchscreen calibration process

The calibration procedure begins, during which it will be proposed to adjust the angle of the screen in six various modes touches, we go through each of them;

Do not forget that the smartphone must be on a flat surface all this time so that the calibration is as accurate as possible.

At the end, you will be prompted to reboot the device for the changes to take effect.

Here we click "Ok" and reboot the device in order for the changes to take effect

Never dealt with such devices.

I recall discussions of such topics, I will not look for it, you yourself must do it.

According to my information, 100% disable these pluses seems to be impossible, only some of the main pluses are disabled.
