frequent ghost touching

[abigaiI]

hello, i'd like to ask what could cause my phone to ghost touch? i don't see any reasons as i rarely drop my phone and it has a screen protector on. (also, the lcd is not cracked).

[Annlulex]

Pwedeng naipit :(

[abigaiI]

like naipit po ung phone?

[Annlulex]

Oo possible reason yung naupuan, nahigaan, naipit sa unan, bag or somewhere pero hindi nagcrack ang screen tapos nag-ghost touch na. Happened to my old phone from a different brand. Best to have it checked sa SC kung hardware or software issue.
