GhostGuard: Block ghost touch

RedPi Apps

About this app

Is your phone getting ghost touches? Apps open on their own, letters get typed, or the phone scrolls while you're not touching it. Ghost touches usually come from one worn or damaged patch of the touch screen.

GhostGuard blocks ghost touches on the part of your screen where they happen. You mark the area, and GhostGuard puts an invisible layer over it to block ghost touches. The rest of the touch screen keeps working normally.

WHAT IT DOES
• Block ghost touches on any part of your touchscreen, even when the screen is cracked or the touch is faulty in one spot
• Draw the blocked areas right on a map of your screen: drag to draw, move, or resize from the edges and corners
• Block several areas at once, anywhere on the screen
• Find ghost touches automatically: leave the phone untouched for 1, 5 or 10 minutes and GhostGuard shows where the ghost touches happened and suggests areas to block
• Blocked areas are invisible over your apps, or show a faint tint or an outline if you prefer
• Pause and resume anytime from a small floating button, the notification or a Quick Settings tile
• Auto start after phone restarts
• Quick tips for common causes of touch screen problems, like a cheap charger, a lifted screen protector or a wet screen

WHERE IT WORKS
• You can block touches anywhere on the screen except the status bar and the navigation bar.
• Note: some apps, such as banking and other sensitive apps, don't allow touches to be blocked.
• GhostGuard doesn't repair the screen. If the touch layer is damaged, a screen replacement is the real fix. GhostGuard keeps the rest of the phone usable until then.
