i notice that sometimes it seems itthe screen is tap even though the my finger does not even touch the screen yet.
is it a bug or something?because if it is a bug it is a good bug because it taps the buttons that i want to tap
i think it is because our devices have heat-sync screens. so even if you dont touch the screen it feels the heat from your finger

Yeah the screens on our device are capacitive.
Isn't it called floating touch?

soory 4 such a novice question but i just cant find this option, how can i decrease the tou?ch screen sensitivity on this thing
There's no setting in android that allows you to do that. I believe that was a feature that was prevalent in the early generation touch screen devices when the touch screens were all capacitive touch screens. If you use a home replacement app, depending on which one, you can adjust the scrolling speed and have the illusion of decreased sensitivity.

you cant with the technology of the screen because it doesnt sense your finger by pressure, it does it by heat
Ok a little disappointing but get n used to it

It's not heat. It's not pressure either though. When you touch the screen, you distort the electromagnetic field. It's a capacitive touch screen.
I am having to press really hard to get the phone to recognize my touch, anyone know of a fix. I thought my phone as starting to lag but its just not recognizing my touch.

As stated above, pressure should have nothing to do with it. Dumb question, but you aren't wearing gloves or anything over your hands are you?

Nope, and my old Droid X is working fine.
The SPen works great on the screen, but can't be used to activate the four capacitive 'buttons' at the bottom.....not sure why.

Because the part of the screen that contains the "digitizer" that the S-Pen uses doesn't cover the entire front face of the phone....it only covers the screen area.
Remember that the international version doesn't have the touch sensitive 4-buttons across the bottom...only a single mechanical button.
I assume the same screen digitizer was used for both devices.

There are certain movements you can do with the S-pen on the screen while holding the button on the S-pen that wil for example bring you back (in the browser(, show the menu, bring you to your homescreen!
When you're using the S Pen on the screen, it isn't actually using the capacitive capabilities to register the input, it's using the screen digitizer. The pen isn't capable of registering capacitive input.
With the Flyer's stylus you could actually use the other end of the pen as a capacitive stylus, although I'm pretty sure that's just a result of it being solid metal.

The international version has a mechanical button (home) and two capacitive buttons (back and menu).
But as everyone said, the S-Pen isn't a capacitive stylus like you might buy to use for a tablet; the note has a proper digitizer, which allows things like pressure sensitivity. It's nowhere near as good as the sensitivity you get with a Wacom input device, but it's a helluva lot better than a normal capacitive stylus.
Find the manual for the s-pen on the market. There are many gestures that allow yô to open menu's and navigate.
Have any of you experienced something like the screen registering a touch even if you didn't really touch it (or it didn't feel like it did) while having the finger very close to the screen?
Its something that happened me very randomly and not so frequently with my iPod Touch, but now with the S3 is something definetively more frequent, and sometimes is annoying, very weird!

Is there any particular reason on why it happens, or anything that could be done to 'fix it'
Its just a little nuissance,for example after typing a letter in the keyboard, in just one press it will register 2 or even 3 touches, one before really touching, when touching, and one after touching (being 3 times very rare and 2 touches a bit less than uncommon)
Weird, though the s3 screen is super sensitive I haven't experienced any double touch so far. Try testing your screen using multi touch tester and see if you can trace anything weird there
《tapatalked from galaxy s3》
Just wondering......can it be affected by static electricity?

I've had this a few times, but not so much that it's annoying. I'm using a generic e-bay screen protector. Anybody else who is having this phenomenon got a screen protector on, or are you going nekkid ?
I've had it too but very rarely. Don't think it's much of a problem. Capacitive touchscreens work based on the electrical charge our skin possesses so your static charge theory might be right(correct me if I'm wrong)

I'm guessing wearing wool or nylon clothing here might be part of the problem! Also atmospherics can play a big part. I seriously don't think this is a hardware problem at all imho.
Yep i get this too, can espically see it on the 'test' screen where you are drawing on it, sometimes my finger passes right over it and it registers it. I'm going with static electricit and the screen protector generating a little current just before your finger touches as the culprit.
Is There any way to adjust the sensitivity of the touchscreen on the S3? Sometimes my finger doesnt even quite touch the screen and it'll react?
Due to the technical background and the construction of a capacitive touchscreen, i really don't think there is a chance by calibrating the screen.
Yes. It is possible on a custom AOKP based ROM. :good:
I'm noticing that you can go hover your finger over the screen and it will register a touch with out touching it. Any one else notice this.
Not happening with me.
that is glove mode.
Settings>display>glove mode
Turn it off.. Or keep on if you want it..
its not exactly hover mode.Just bit above the screen it detects, not all that comfortable to try and use the screen without touching it.Also I can do the same thing on kitkat

Yeah, that's glove mode, the screen response to rubber is always bad so this feature is there for you to turn on if you're using gloves or anything rubber. It practically increases the sensitivity of the screen to touch, and that's why when it's on it responds even if you're barely touching the screen.
