User of S3 i would appreciate if you can inform me whether there is any option to increase the touch sensitivity of S3. I read somewhere that ppl find it to be on a higher side but I find it less responsive. Anyway there should be an option that could reduce or increase the sensitivity or may be there is and I dont know about. Can anybody shed light on this
Dont think there is much toincrease. I did some tests on the touchscreen and it is the best screen I have ever seen.it's accurate up to one pixel and kids able to recognize up to ten different inputs.
Cause of the thinner glass of corning it's also more responsible than most other phones.the only thing that would increase the responsibility are better drivers.

I'm also finding the touch sensitivity on the S3 a bit variable. Its super sensitive, almost overly so, over the back button area, so when I lean my thumb across the screen I frequently end up going back by accident. But sometimes when I touch other parts of the screen it just doesn't respond. At all. I have to try several times before it does anything.
It's worse in the browsers. I was using the stock browser but then added Dolphin to see if would help and its possibly not as bad, but is still a problem at times. It also happened yesterday when I was just killing time playing a game, which when you're in the middle of a game of jewels is just a tad irritating ;-).
I'm not new to the Galaxy S range. I had the first Galaxy s since July 2010 and my husband has the S2. So I know I'm not handling it wrong or anything.
Does anyone else have this problem? And is there not a way to adjust it? Or have I possibly got a faulty screen?
More of the same
I don't notice it too much but a friend of mine that also has an S3 says my touch-screen sensitivity is way higher than his... Could this be because I have ghost Armour and he doesn't?

mmmm it is pretty unlikely
I think they only need to decrease the sensitivity of the menu and back button but the touchscreen is perfect!
I don't know if its just me but i feel like my L9's touch screen is a little bit out of sensitivity? I come from a Huawei Ascend G600 that i sold two days ago and bough this the next day. Sometimes i have to push the bottoms a little bit harder than usual, before i just had to lay the finger on the screen (and it works sometimes) but most of the times, i do have to push my finger on the screen for it to work (not that hard but in my opinion it shouldnt be like that)
Pardon my shty english. Just wondering if this is only me or every phone is like that.

The touch sensitivity leaves much to be desired if you are running ICS but JB improves it and overall smoothness.

This only happens to me when i use my finger. Idk why it isn't that responsive.. Use your thumbs then you'll see a difference.

I do use my thumb, mostly when i'm writing or just navigating thru the system or twitter, i use the thumb to scroll up and down but still not good.
On ics if auto rotation is disabled it will effect the touch sensitivity. Keep it enabled and you won't have a problem. This issue is fixed on jb

Im so frustrated by the touch screen on my ZU, its so Sensitive (or under Sensitive ) that i always accidentally select items or make phone calls when i scroll through lists. I've updated to latest firmware already but same thing
Is no one else experiencing this? I only see a complaint occasionally. I brought the phone to Sony of Taiwan and they said it seems normal and dont recommend i send it in for repair.

Things like this are always a double edged sword.
On 1 hand people will see this as an issue and dislike it, or others like myself will like it as it makes the screen effortless to interact with.
I can see your point though, especially if you are coming from a device with a screen not as sensitive.
I come from an iphone, and have played extensively with a S 3,none of which have these issues,and are just as effortless

I had this problem with the Sony Tablet Z and it drove me crazy.. a software update fixed the issue but I returned the tablet anyways. But I have seen no issues like that with my Ultra Z.
Yup, updated this morning hoping for a fix but seems the same. ..trying to do factory restore right now to see if that helps
.475 seemed to have fixed that issue on my phone.

A factory reset DID help ! The touch still has occasional issues but much better now ... Finally can use the phone properly
Sorry, it didn't help. problem still exists and Sony is telling me this is acting as suggested. I guess I'll have to wait for someone (hopefully) come up with a sensitivity adjustment.
Did you apply any screen protector as certain bad screen protector will affected the sensitive issue.
Other wise, did you a iPhone ex owner. No biased on this, but base on what I had seen so far, certain iPhone owner can't proper use Android phone due to the touch & scroll method is different. Android only need to slightly touch not like iPhone need much pressure on it.
I've removed the screen protector, same thing.
It can't be an iphone vs android thing, the problem doesn't exist on Samsung devices I've played with or my Nexus 7.
It feels more like the screen is not sensitive enough? It isn't registering that I am still scrolling and so it registers a finger "lift" and selects into an item. Same thing if I try to hold a key on the keyboard to access secondary letter (holding down on a key to select comma, for example) it'll repeat hitting that key. I have to exert a lot more pressure and be very sure my finger doesn't move to properly access the secondary key.

The repeat-hitting when tap-hold is very abnormal. Why your service center didn't recognize that as a problem when they examine it? I think you should request for replacement.
I also had the same problem... touchscreen is a little bit buggy.. but the latest patch did fix a little bit.. but its still there. still far from my ip5 , s3 s4 note 1 note 2... hope they will fix these soon.
I have exactly the same problem on mine, sometimes is really hateful but for sure when rooted we will be able to change that value.
I also have major issues with the screen.
The best way to illustrate the problem is by holding a finger on the screen on the lockscreen.
It just flickers a lot like I'm tapping repeatedly on the screen.
I've updated and factory reset without it fixing anything :/
I was wrong, I still have issues. The newer firmware just made it overall a little "better" but I am going to send it in for repairs...this is ridiculous.

should I wait for next update?
I'm having the same issue with the screen sensitivity. It also skips when using a pencil as a stylus, which is the main reason I bought this phone- to draw and take notes. I don't like amoleds, need pentaband and can't fit anything bigger than the z ultra into my pocket. It has become very annoying, and I'm wondering if I should hold out for the next update or send it in now...I have no backup phone.

I've sent it in yesterday.
The Sony associate said he can see the issue as being "screen more sensitive than usual" but can't promise anything. He said he will demonstrate it to his colleagues as the repair form lists the symptoms vaguely as "screen erraticly jumps" which doesn't describe the problem accurately.
I will know within 2 weeks and post the results here. I am not holding my breath, though, as I think Sony has pointed out that the specialty feature of the ZU using a pencil to control the screen is produced by turning up the sensitivity of the touch screen. Kind of like Samsung Galaxy S4's feature of allowing users to use the touchscreen with gloves on. At least Galaxy users can turn the damn feature off!
Interestingly enough, while in the repair line I met another user who has a ZU and I asked if he had the same issues. He said no, he didn't have that issue at all.
Sony Taiwan sent it back to the repair shop stating they updated it to .475 and there shouldn't be any problems. Problem is, I already had updated it to .475 when I brought it in for repairs. Problem still exists and I have them send it back. If this doesn't improve I can only blame myself....should have bought a samsung!
Apparently Sony Taiwan refuses to offer any fix for this as they stated this "sensitivity" is needed for the pencil stylus feature.
Very unfortunate, very lame.
Anyone want to buy a 2 week old Sony ZU in Taiwan?
So I'm watching youtube on the dual screen using landscape and I want to sleep the main screen so i touch sleep main screen option on the dual screen tab tool, it shows a prompt saying main screen will dim to save battery and swipe to dismiss. I dont touch or swipe anything and the prompt swipes itself away and screen undims or sometimes doesn't even dim. This is also the case with Call of duty mobile, when I'm playing the game in battle royal mode the mini map enlarges randomly even if I don't touch it, and the voice chat options will engage and open without me touching those as well. Anyone else has this problem? Any solutions?
I could have sworn I saw a post earlier about ghost touches, though I can't seem to find the thread it was in at the moment.
I've been using the phone heavily since I got it on April 1st, and I have not experienced this issue at all.
Any chance you had an LG phone prior to this and used LG Switch to transfer over all of your stuff?
I've read reports here that doing so can cause some pretty serious battery drain and/or lag issues, so there could be other bugs as another side-effect.
Have you tried a factory reset?

Yeah I think I read that thread. I haven't tried a reset since I already used so much data to download apps and don't want to setup the phone again. I did use the google cloud restore for my contacts and I also had the t mobile April security update. Mejilan can you tell me if you can put your main screen to sleep while watching a youtube video on the dual screen? Please tell me what kind of result you get. Thanks

I set aside the the dual-screen accessory because it's just too uncomfortable to hold for most use-cases.
I'll go dig it up, plug it in, and give it a shot later, when I have some free time, and report back.

If you play a YT video on the second screen and lock/sleep your phone, the second screen goes to sleep as well.
I didn't bother with headphones for this test, and noticed that the audio comes out of the phone's speakers.
It appears that the second screen doesn't have speakers of its own.
So yeah, you cannot watch something on the second screen while having the phone asleep.
And it make sense. It's just a screen. No second pair of speakers. No second headphone jack. No separate battery. No second set of modems, etc.

Actually you CAN watch youtube on the second screen and sleep/dim the main screen by using the floating dual screen button. It has an option asking if you want to sleep dim the main screen to conserve battery life. It does work for me now, I'm not sure why it was going wonky on me when I first posted but hopefully that it doesn't do it anymore. I'm guessing the tmobile April security update did the trick. It's just I have phantom touches on call of duty still.

This is happening to me as well when I'm playing PubG Mobile. The ghost touches are happening not on the map but to the left of that. On another LG V60, the device would get random dead zones as well.
I'm going to do the following test and suggest you do the same and report back your results.
1. wait until the ghost touches start happening and flip the phone around. hopefully the ghost touch continues to happen in the same exact location of the physical screen, and it triggers a different button
2. remove the screen protector and try the tests again
are you using a screen protector?
might process a warranty replacement if the results are reproduceable

Oh, that is good to know. I'm not using the dual-screen attachment anymore (typing in portrait mode is IMPOSSIBLE with it), but I only ever used the Dual-Screen notification shade tile to enable the second screen, not the pill button thing. I should have explored our options more thoroughly. Thank you for correcting me.
Edit - I have recently added a tempered glass screen protector to my phone, and while it completely screwed with my fingerprint biometrics (I had to delete the fingerprints and redo them), the protector itself is not causing any ghost touches for me. And once I redid the fingerprints, there have been no further issues there either.

Yes I am using a screen protector and I was actually thinking that might be the problem, although it seems like a solid install. I just got the update for cod season 6 and I'm downloading now. I'll see if that solves the problem. I'll also try what you suggested and then post results
Update: so the cod update did not fix the issue, but I tried doing as you suggested and flipped the phone around and the problem went away. I then tried flipping it back to original and problem persisted. I think it is the tempered glass. I don't want to remove it since it cost me 40 bucks. Any suggestions?

So I installed the update for cod and it still had the ghost touch problem with the top right side of the screen, iflipped the phone per what jd254 suggested and I didn't get the phantom touches. I'm assuming it is the tempered glass that is causing it. I dont want to remove it cause it cost me 40 bucks.
2nd update: so I tried taking it out of the dual screen case and notice it doesn't have phantom touch ( I played a full game of battle royale) so I'm not sure if its the tempered glass or the case. Need to investigate more

Is the case touching the tempered glass anywhere around the the edges? If the case is pressing on the screen protector and lifting or peessing it even the smallest amount that could cause phantom touches maybe..just an idea
FWIW, I'm using both a tempered glass screen protector and a case that wraps around to grip the front of the phone a bit, and I'm not getting any phantom touches at all.
The case is NOT rubbing up against the edges of the screen protector, however. Which is fine, because if it were, it could potentially dislodge it.
Or, I suppose, cause phantom touches.

Ok more investigating and playing codm I notice that the mini map opens up when i perform a touch combination with my thumbs. So the map gets triggered when I press and hold up on the left side virtual joystick to sprint and press the jump virtual button on the right simultaneously. I can't recreate what button presses open the voice chat box, but now I have to strike the dual case as being the problem along with the tempered glass, at least i assume those aren't causing the ghost touches.
For anyone having touch issues, as a troubleshooting aid: enable developer options, and then toggle on "Show touches" and "Show touch data". Might help figure out what is going on.

I'm getting VERY interesting results.
1. dead spots: I moved my finger up the right side of the screen to look up. my character did not look up, which I would assume there was a dead spot before. This is incorrect. I can see the screen registered using that option mentioned above. the screen registered the action, but didn't pass it to the software?
2. FPS drops: I assume it's an FPS drop because everything was laggy when this happened. (PubG mobile was set to max settings, and runs 100% fine, until now) I was flying the helicopter, so I had several fingers on the screen at the same time, with a lot of rotational movements. the screen doesn't clear all of these movement data until I literally take all my fingers off the screen for half a sec. When I did that, it stop lagging.
3. ghost touches: Each touch on the screen has an x and y axis point to tell the software where it's being touched. With several finger on the screen (sometimes 2, but commonly with three or more), I noticed that the y axis for my left thumb and the x axis for my right thumb was creating those ghost touches! The screen would combine the x and y axis from different fingers to create a touchpoint on the screen.
so I don't care too much about 1 and 2, but... what can I do about 3?

Yeah I noticed a combination of touches triggers the ghost touch on call of duty, I could also be having the combinations trigger ghost touches in other game but I need to test more
I've been seeing my taps show up as swipes on my touchscreen. Would you guys mind downloading touchscreen test, setting the zoom to 0%, and tapping around like you're typing on your keyboard? On my other phones all the taps show up as dots, but on a few of the Pixel 6 devices I've tried, like 20% of the time they are show up as small swipes.

The app hasn't been updated in nearly a year, maybe that could be an issue. But I don't have any touchscreen issues so perhaps someone else can help more.

The app not being updated isn't an issue. I think most people don't think they have issues with the touchscreen, but it just may not be very apparent to them. That's why I wanted people to just try it and report back. It's definitely super janky on every P6 I've tried, even the ones in store, making me think its widespread.

I've noticed that as well and always thought I was just ... doing it wrong lol. Sometimes a simple tap will bring down QS or my side launcher. Sometimes a tap does nothing at all and I have to tap an icon or widget 2-3 times before the Pixel agrees to do whatever it is that tap was supposed to do.
Then again I do use an "unsupported" tempered glass screen protector, so I'm inclined to think that's the reason.
I have also seen this and am not sure if the problem is due to the screen protector that i use (not one of the officially approved ones) or the software being still a little buggy or both in combination. It happens rarely enough to not bother me much.
So I loaded the app, got my magnifier out, and tried it. I have fat fingers and it seemed to go alright. If I touched it for too long there was a tiny swipe but then I corrected my touches and almost all were dots. Itsy bitsy swipes now and again but nothing that was super obvious as a flaw. I see a ton of little dots, where are your dots?

It just depends on the size of the itsy bitsy swipes that show up. For example mine are attached. I feel that these are too big and cause issue with the with tapping sometimes.
And actually I feel it's even worse when tapping with my index finger.
Seems good to me, I mean I got some micro swipes but I'm sure that because I swipe my finger a tiny bit.
You can't even see the dots on my 3 XL with 0 to 100 but zero swipes registered.
(I had made a post before where I didn't follow instructions so I edited all of it out and did it right).
Sure seems like a hardware issue to me.

thanks, it'd be good to see what other pixel 6 users see
Now that you say it, I'm pretty sure I'm experiencing the same, that would be why sometimes I have the feeling my commands are not registered. I don't know if it's software or hardware, I believe it could be easily fixed with software (a bit like a palm rejection feature, to ignore tiny slides)
I had similar experience. Once noticed my mind started exaggerating it I believe. Because I also have the same challenges with touch on my Galaxy S10 work phone. For me at least I think it's me not the P6. Will certainly try the app on both phones this weekend.
I have a completely different issue that I was suspecting for some time now. Taps don't register on the lower corners of the screen. I have to squeeze it to register. Swiping though at the same areas is working fine.

I mean, from your signature, it looks like you've gone through alot of phones. How could it be you, not the P6 if you've never experienced this before on anything other than your S10?

I only have the P6 for a couple of months. The only other phone I currently have and rarely use is the S10 and I can only make a comparison to that. Or in other words, this might have been there all along and I never paid attention to it.

I haven't had a phone since the P3 that responds on the lower corners all the time. I've learned to live with it since it's really not all that bad and it's not always. I mean this is a mass produced phone and I'm sure all devices have little quirks like this. It's not a lunar landing module that needs nano second response it's just a phone. I find that if I obsess over the small stuff I won't enjoy the device and I really don't want to do that. That being said, I do understand what you're going after and your upset. I'm just not there.

For sure. The device is fast but it feels like a step backward from all my previous phones in terms of usability since I find I often have to tap things twice or doesn't respond to touch the way I expect it to. To me this is completely unexpected. I guess most people just don't notice these issues and so if that's the case, it's never going to be fixed. I just want Google to do right but I give up. Moving on to Samsung or iphone now.
Thanks for providing the info all, I was thinking of downgrading from a Pixel 6 pro to the 6. Although the screen on the 6 pro is curve I have the exact same issue. Never experienced this on my past pixels.
