Touchscreen and memory issues getting worse?

Help

Over the last few months my touchscreen has gotten really bad, it fails to register scrolling a lot, phantom touches out of nowhere, and sometimes just stops responding to any touch at all.

I've also noticed apps closing on their own, and the phone generally feels very sluggish like there's a delay on everything.

Anyone else figured out any solutions for these issues?

Google's already aware of the memory issue and working on fixing the issue I believe.

Jeez, I didn't realize it was an android issue.

You know I've been using android since the first phone came out, and it's been a constant thing of memory, bluetooth, and battery issues.

You'd think 10 years later they'd have ironed out some of these bugs.

But who knows, the patch might be for the pixel phones. I have noticed the battery issues ever since pie release.

Lol I've been thinking the same thing. You'd think they would have ironed some of these issues out by now... Apple doesn't have these problems with ios.

It's an issue with the latest pie updates, Google really borked it. If you're wanting a better experience I highly recommend using a custom rom. Updates coming from essential at this point are bare minimum. They're keeping up with the monthly security updates, but that's really about it.

Yeah it sounds like it.

Is LineageOS the way to go? I haven't done custom ROMs since I had a Nexus 5 so I'm very out of the loop lol.

Yea lineage and aosip are probably the two most maintained. LOS is probably better on battery while aosip has more features in my experience. They both perform very well. Much better than stock.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

I assume the Unofficial LOS 15.1 is the one to go with?

That one is pretty solid. I used it for a long time.

Turns out los 16 is considered stable if you wanna try that. Android 9 pie.
