How to correct iPhone 6 ghost typing and screen freeze?

Hi,

My iPhone 6 started occasionally types/clicks things on its own or the screen totally freezes. I can't even answer my calls because it stays frozen while i'm trying to slide to answer and i can't make calls because if i try to touch name A it regisers touch at name F. The problem still persists even after trying a number of new screens so its not the screen. Could anyone please help me with a solution to this?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Have you tried holding the power button for 5 seconds while the battery is unplugged to see if that helps with the digitizer / touch screen issue? Do you have like a grey bar at the top of the screen by any chance?

Also did you buy screens from the same supplier or got it repaired from a mobile phone repair shop?

Hi Ben,

I tried what you said with the power button but that didn't work :(

Also to clarify I'm still using my original screen which is tested to be working with other iphones. I tried fitting a couple of aftermarket screens to my iPhone and when that didn't sort the problem I put the original back in.

Any other solutions?? Anyone?

Where are these aftermarket screens from? They sound cheap and low quality in my opinion.

I have to agree with Ben. Ghost touch and freezing is caused by low quality screen assembly's. Have you tried the screen fully open and not assembled back and see if the flex connectors are the issue.
