Since Marshmallow update 6.0.1 is anyone else getting ridiculous ghost tap's and no tap's?

Sure it's not a h/w problem? I had ghost taps on two different devices, both the result of failure of the digitizer and both requiring factory repair.

It may be a hardware problem. I dropped my device (in a case, mind you) on the carpet while trying to grab it and my phone off the night stand (a couple of feet at the most) - it became completely unreliable, hardly responding to any screen touches. I went through the usual routine (Factory Reset, system cache wipe) with no difference in behavior.

Since it was useless at that point I said 'what the hell - if a drop caused the problem, maybe another drop will correct it'. So I smacked it on the carpet (still in the case) along each edge and lo and behold, it started working again.

I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS COURSE OF ACTION TO ANYONE!!! It just happened to work for me. YMMV.
