Screen Sensitivity - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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:

[Q] Possible to adjust touchscreen sensitive?

Is there any method for adjust the screen sensitive? when my finger is wet or the screen dirty , it is difficult to slide for answer call , i need to wipe the screen clean only can function well ....
Just keep a microfiber cloth (the kind you use for sunglasses/eyeglasses) handy.
It gives me great pleasure to clean my screen and look at the shiny smooth surface knowing my finger can glide effortlessly all over it.
Imagine if it were possible to adjust the responsiveness of the screen. You wouldn't be able to control anything!
I found changing to a matte screen protector helped a lot with the screen responsiveness. It also made the screen slightly dimmer, but removed a lot of glare.

Light in the two touch keys are a bit low

I got my SGS2 today, and I'm very happy with it. The only issue I've had so far is that the light in the two touch buttons are a bit low.
Also, the screen sensitivity seems to be a bit on the lower side. I quite frequently have to press buttons two times to get it to register.
Has anyone else had these problems?
Anyone?
Anyone...?
The light on the lower 2 buttons seems fine for me. But that's probably subjective.
I've gone through 4 replacement Galaxy S2's due to various reasons needing replacements, and on all of them the sensitivity on the touch screen seems abit low in that I can tap the screen lightly and quickly so that it doesn't register on the screen. However on my HTC Desire I can't get the phone to NOT register an input, no matter how lightly and quickly I do it.

That is a bit worrying - why have you gone through 4 replacement Galaxy S2's? What was wrong with them?

Touch screen non responsive in landscape

I am having issues with my touch screen not taking my input when in landscape. It works when I change to portrait and usually works when switching back to landscape but then stops again. I've noticed this playing angry birds and browsing in IE. Anything I can do to correct this?
edit: I think I found my issue. If i'm touching the bottom area where the capacitive buttons are the screen won't respond. Is this normal?
I find the sensitivity of the screen is less than the Focus. The Focus suffered from bad touch sensitivity if you didn't hold it (like laying it on the bed). If they can get full registry access to the phone, I'll bet the sensitivity is adjustable.

others have mentioned that touching the soft keys even slightly makes the rest of the screen unresponsive.
I don't know why capacitive buttons are so popular... they might be 'cool' but... hardbuttons aren't accidentally activated, they don't mess up the screen and they provide REAL tactile feedback.
Plus you can search for and use hardbuttons when they are out of sight. With my TV and BD player I have to put my face to the buttons with a magnifying class to see the icons because feeling them activates them and they have no backlights :/

They're popular because presumably they cost less than actual buttons, easier to manufacture, and are less likely to break or need maintainence.
The screen's glass is already set up to be capacitive, so extending that down to the "button" area requires virtually no additional cost - they only need 3 tiny LED's underneath, rather than housing full mechanical buttons, with a separate plastic overlays ontop on the buttons.

why when i even not touch the screen it work?

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?
