"Touching" screen without really touching screen

[chengsun]

Anyone encounters such incident with your 5S?

I notice today that, the icon on touch screen can, sometimes, will be activated even when my finger is not touching it, but, mybe 0.5cm above the icon. I notice it in FB just now. I am certain that I did not touch the screen, but the post immediately beneath my finger was "touched", and I was directed to that post in FB. Then just now, at Home Screen, also did not touch the screen, but the Safari got "touched" and open up.

It seems random to me. Even if I wanna bring to let telco or service centre check, I also don't know how to replicate the problem.

I am using a Power Support SP. The latest time I noticed the incident, it was connected to a cable, being charged. Previous time, I can't remember if it was being charged or not.

Sounds like a magical touch. OK jokes aside, probably some static issues, ain't it good that your screen is exceptionally sensitive that you don't even have to touch it?

There's probably a function somewhere for you to increase the sensitivity which is good for those who wear gloves in cold countries.

Check whether the "Switch Control" is activated or not.

Settings-General-Accessibility-Switch Control

If it is turned on, you might want to turn it off.

or maybe is the reflection of your finger that bounces off from the screen protector to the screen... and it captures your hand motion?

Solution: Get rid of the 5S. Get another 5S or go other phones? D:

Try it again when charging, I'd noticed on some phones there is erratic touchscreen behaviour when charging through poorly grounded AC sockets/power strips.

Try it in another location and see if you have the same problem. If not, then you can isolate it to that particular chain of equipment.
