support.google.comI'd be interested to know if there is a difference in usage between those reporting the issue and those not. I see some with Omoton reporting no issues. I have that brand protector (Premium Tempered) and have the problem. However, after testing throughout the day yesterday, the issue only occurs when the device warms up a bit. My phone is in a case and has a screen protector. If I hold the phone and watch a few videos, the screen becomes warm. That's when I experience the issue the most.
Can someone claiming not to have the issue test that? With phone in hand, in a case, and with a screen protector, watch some YouTube for a while. Play a game. Whatever. Get the phone warm. Takes my phone less than 5 minutes of video play but seems to get worse as time goes longer. Then open reddit or a menu, and swipe around the screen, especially the bottom half. See if you get phantom touches/clicks.
As others have noted, I see no issue in Android 10, but I'm not confident that Android 11 isn't just highlighting a hardware issue.

Nah I've got the same screen protector and yeah, after the phone heats up a little bit the problem becomes very obvious

I have this exact issue.
I have to press down firmly when scrolling when the phone is warm from charging.
Really annoying.

That may be accurate. I was not experiencing the issue at first, but when I was playing around last night on games and such it started showing up. For now I have removed my Omoton screen protector and that seems to have cleared it up, but I have not played games for an hour+ to actually get it hot.

I have the same screen protector and am currently experiencing this problem.
Damn. Let me know if you ever find something that protects it and also performs well.

The phone heats up while watching videos?

Any extended use tends to make the device get warm.

In your opinion, is that normal? Typically, I would expect something like gaming or video recording to heat up phones, but not video playback. I haven't used any recent phones, so I am not sure what's the normal standard nowadays.

I'd say yes. I don't experiencing any heat out of the ordinary for mobile phones. It doesn't get hot, just warmer than when idle. Just the screen being on and bright generates some heat in my experience.

No its software. Android 10 is fine on the same device.
