hi all, my iphone 5s is acting up, i dont have to touch the screen only hover over something and the phone opens apps. or if im using the keyboard it acts like i have pressed keys, to me it seams like a static interference. i changed the screen but the same issues are present, any ideas? i have no issues opening / soldering / reworking the fone.,
Got a tip for us?

Sounds like it could be moisture-related, but you don't see that very often. How does it react to a stylus?
Static
I have not tried to test it with the stylus, Im going to re flow the BGA of Broadcom BCM5976 trackpad controller. as shown in step 20 of https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPhone+5+Teardown/10525
will let ye know how it goes

so I re flowed the chip and the issue is still the same,
its definitely static build up, once grounded the issue disappears
any ideas how to resolve ?

Quite a few people are reporting that resetting all settings helps:
Settings => General => Reset => Reset All Settings
Presumably it forces recalibration of the digitiser. Others are reporting that they need to perform a full restore of the device, without restoring from backup. Others still are working around the issue by placing a screen protector over it, reducing its sensitivity.
