Hi guys,
before and after Sony fixed my phone (due to the famous crack) i have difficulties with the touchscreen, random ghost clicks while it's not in a moisture environment whatsoever. I already changed the sensitivity to 5 instead of 2 but it didn't help (i have it now on 7 and i'm checking the symptoms now).
Am i currently the only one fighting this or are there more people with this?

That could do the trick indeed, then i am going to search for one with a oleophobic layer as the Z ultra lacks one (on the shatterproof sheet).
did you add one to prevent the twitchy touchscreen to mess around?

thanks for warning but I removed it same minute I bought it, touch is more responsive now, and colors are a bit vivid, and no problems at all. Just be careful with your phone and nothing happens : ))
I have no screen protector and my screen works perfectly.
Just saying.
Edit:
Wait. By looking VERY closely at the edges of the glass, I notice there seems to be a small gap, and it looks there is some sort of layer on top of the glass. Is that a screen protector or is it part of the screen? It doesn't look like it can be removed actually.

There is a protector installed on the screen at the factory.
I removed mine and it still works perfectly if not better.
Use your brain people.

this isn't a problem by removing the screen protector
it can be everything except that
why not:
screen protector has almost nothing to do with touch (it decrease the touch sensivity) that's all
what can be the problem
phone became wet
phone became hot
hardware fault
and more except screen protector
Maybe there is some glue residue left from removing the protector making it less sensitive in different parts of the screen?
Screen only works when there's something between my finger and the screen!!!

I removed mine 3 months ago and I don't have any problems with touch screen.
I don't understand why people try to remove it, if it is preinstalled.
I always keep those on, until it become messy, then put the third party on, i just don't like leave the screen naked

I've never used a protector with any phone but I look after things. I removed the pre installed "protector" and have had no issues. If your clumsy leave it on.

Sadly I dropped my phone today and damaged the factory fitted protector (at least it was doing it's job!), peeled it off without issue and replaced it successfully!
The Terrapin replacement isn't quite as good but hopefully it'll do the job, and thankfully I didn't damage the screen whe I dropped it.
As I said it before, I don't think that Sony will bother to add that pre-installed screen protector and add cost if it is "useless"... but ofcourse, the choice is with us i.e. if want to take risk of removing it or listen to them...

Hello guys.
Got mine SGS3 as a present 2 weeks ago. At first I didn't notice this, but now it makes me wonder... Btw this is mine first touch screen and Android phone.
1. Friction between finger and screen oscilates. In one moment, it is super smooth, but in other there is some additional friction with different intensity. The screen is still usable, of course, but this issue is quite irritating. What is even worse, I just can't see any pattern in these screen changes. Even when I clean the screen with microfiber, wash and dry my hands, problem is still present sometimes.
2. Back cover. I noticed on 2 spots that plastics clicks everytime I touch it. Everything seems perfectly fit, except on those 2 tiny spots, although it is not noticable when you just look at it, just when you press it - it clicks. One spot is right besides camera flash and other above USB/charge cable slot. It doesn't bother me that much, I'm more interested if there are other people with similar issue.
I don't have receipt and the phone is bought in another country. Therefore, it is quite a problem for me to return it and ask for replacement. On the other hand, since it is quite expensive toy, it would be ridicilous not to claim it, unless this is "normal" (?!). I want to hear what you think and about your experience, just in case I'm doing something wrong and/or missing something obvious.
Thank you.

Bump.
1. It seems that I'm an idiot and those increased friction between my fingers and screen is caused by my sweaty hands/fingers. It is pretty humid and hot these days, so it's understandable. How can I solve this? What do you think - can screen protector help in my case?
2. Remains. Does your sgs3 plastics clicks time from time or it is perfectly fitted?
Thank you.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
1) Put anti-fingerprint screen protector. You will have a bit blurry screen but should solved your issue.
2) Put a case on it and you are good to go
Else, get an exchange....
Enjoy

Picked my One up today to replace my freshly broken Nexus 4. So far so good, but this home "button" registers about one out of five presses. Anyone else seeing this behavior? The back button works fine every time.

I have no screen protector and my home button doesn't register often either. Also when trying to touch places in the standard browser it doesn't register immediately. Starting to think there's a defect in screen or software.

I'm having the sane issues it does it with the back button as well. Did it before I put the screen protector on it. It doesn't help that they sit so close to the screen. When I start tapping frantically trying to make it work I end up pressing whatever is right above it on the screen. Thinking about returning it to try another but if it's a common problem I don't want to waste my time. It's not too bad usually at least one of the two buttons will register if the other one won't

I know I just put the screen protector on along with a carbon fiber skin. The idea of having to go and deal with the people at AT&T alone makes me want to just deal with it. Also afraid I'll just get another one

I agree, if the issue is only on our variant then it could be software or hardware. I have no idea what to do.

I had the same issue on my device. It took three swaps to figure out it wasn't the phone but, the Zagg HD screen protector I had on it. Once I took it off, everything started behaving as intended,
I noticed last night that my Zagg screen protector still had some water bubbles (very tiny ones) near the home button. So today after another night the bubbles are gone and the home button works well enough I can assign a double tap short cut.
Never had any issues with the back button, just for reference.

Noticed the issue as well. Saw it mentioned in a recent review of the phone. You have to be really precise because the buttons are so small.

I'm almost 100% sure it has to do with the screen protector.
I was using an Otterbox Defender case which has the screen protector with the soft keys uncovered. I was using the phone without a hitch. But this morning I decided to use a different screen protector other than the one provided by Otterbox and that screen protector covers the soft keys.
Now I'm having issues with the sensitivity of the soft keys.
Somehow covering the soft keys with the screen protector affects the sensitivity level of the soft keys. I'm thinking of uncovering the soft keys just to finally confirmed that, that is the problem.

Same problem on Sprint variant. I went to the store and the display model also had same problem. Neither had a screen protector.
This is either a widespread hardware defect or a widespread software problem.
Some have said the latest update to the Taiwan variant fixed it.
RE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245637
I have had the issue as well and I believe it's software, rather than hardware. If my back button freezes and I turn the screen off and then back on, it works fine. It only seems to do it when I "overload" the back button in an app that needs it a lot, like this one.

Hi I'm wondering if the note has a proximity sensor? Maybe we can lock the phone using some apps when using a flip cover.
It already locks with book cover if you select "lock instantly with power key" in settings.

I don't see the need for a sensor like that. Magnetic covers already work out of the box. Also the light sensor could be used for stuff like covers and pockets right?

Samsung releases these covers also. It should be fine. I use the s-view cover on my S4 without troubles for some months now. I also have an IPad second gen since release with a magnetic cover. It's been on there for ages and not a single problem.
If a magnetic cover destroys the device while Samsung devices have options for these things, at least you'll get it repaired or replaced.
Repaired my cracked lcd on Xperia z2. Worked perfectly at first but the more I use it the screen becomes more blurry (guessing this is something to do with heat) Starting with pictures but then starting with text.
I bought the screen from China (cud be my mistake)
Anyway to sort this or am I missing something.
If it is the quality of screen is there anyway to lower my resolution so I can use it till I get a replacement.
Thanks for any help

It's probably LCD fault. I don't know how would lower resolution help you, if the screen get blurry. You can try with changing DPI in build.prop file.
Ah rite. Thank you. I think it is the lcd itself.
U say change the DPI
What is this and what would I be changing. I.e (numerical value lowered). Not as clued up on system files I'm afraid but I am learning.
