TEST GUIDE

Ghost Touch Test – Check Unexpected Screen Touches

Observe whether the browser receives touch contacts while your hands are off the phone. This is a short screening test, not an automatic hardware diagnosis.

What this test checks

  • Unexpected touch-down events within the page viewport
  • Contact locations during a 15-second hands-off observation

How to use it

  1. Clean and dry the screen and place the phone on a stable surface.
  2. Start the test and remove your hands during the three-second countdown.
  3. Wait for the automatic finish. Repeat if contacts were registered without touching the screen.

Understand your results

Unexpected contacts need a repeat check

If nobody touched the screen but contacts were recorded, note their positions and repeat with a clean, dry screen and the charger disconnected. The test records touch events reported to this page; it cannot identify a faulty digitizer or prove that a charger caused them.

Zero contacts is a short observation, not a repair certificate

An intermittent problem may not occur in 15 seconds. Repeat when the usual symptoms appear. If the page loses focus or the run is interrupted, start again before recording a result.

COMMON QUESTIONS

About this phone test

Does a clean run rule out ghost touch?

No. Intermittent faults may not appear during the short observation. Browser chrome and system gesture areas are outside the test.
