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!
Hi guys, upgraded to the Mate 10 recently from a dying Galaxy S4. Love the phone but something has been bothering me since I noticed it yesterday.
Whenever I try to scroll on pages from the very edges of the screen (think half the finger is off the screen), the content on the screen doesn't scroll for about a few milliseconds then jerks suddenly towards my finger, as if to compensate for not scrolling earlier.
However, if I move my finger to the edge of the screen from somewhere else, scrolling works fine.
Has anyone else encountered this? Should I bring it back to have it replaced or is this just some software touch rejection at work? Pretty distressed as I intend to keep this phone for at least four years (same as my S4).
Thanks for any help!
Tried replicating on my Mate 10 (Rom 119). Works fine for me.
I have the same problem... Its just so bad when aiming in a game.
What firmware are you on ?
Because I tried to do it also, but it's working just fine for me.
Same for me no problem with firmware 127-C432

8 ball pool? Yup I'm having the exact same issue there.... Its ridiculous.
Did you find any solution?!
And others... If you guys don't have this issue no need to say "you don't have this issue".... These are solution finding threads... Whatever you are trying to do... It doesn't help... Although you are not trying to help anyway
Probably full screen gestures messing with touch detection. Keyboard presses are also affected, must use Gboard in one handed mode so that it's smaller on screen and doesn't go to the edges
I am on 9.6.22.0 Global Stable
The touch is not smooth sometimes.. When swiping, i think it skips some touch near the edges and thus hampering the continuous flow of touch ..
I got this touchscreen issue where the sides of the screen is not as responsive as the middle screen. Its very strange its hard to scroll in any app from sides, have to scroll through middle part. Its very annoying
Same goes for keyboard if you use Q A L P, backspace and shift key which are near edges are not responsive as middle keys of keyboard
I tried using Real Drums it has touch delay near edges, any idea how they are gonna fix the touch screen issues?
I have exactly the same issue. I think its hardware not software because i installed lastest miui9 , miui10 and lineageOS and the issue persists.

Maybe it's a driver issue. Wait for new official builds
same issue
Follow the instructions here, to file a proper bug report that the POCO devs can analyze.

Do factory reset your device. Before factory reset, do backup your data. I already did and getting better fluent of touch. Actually I am telling you after factory reset and using over 20 hours. Till now I am getting better touch response than before. I got call from poco India support( as I complained against touch issue.) , they told me to do that. I am on Miui 9.6.22.
Just do and test.
Just got my poco f1 today. Just feels awkward and not at all snappy.
When I try to scroll up/down using my thumb (one handed use) either near the left or right side of screen, the scroll isn't smooth at all.
Try doing this on a xda page in chrome or launcher app drawer.
Try a quick scroll using thumb. Page gets scrolled a little bit and then stops. Doesn't scrolls much.
Works well when you scroll near middle of the screen
Is this a common issue or only I am facing this
My poco scrolling senstivity is bad as well. Dont know if poco/xaomi can fix this with an update. Very anoying!

I was dead against buying Xiaomi cheap products. Bought Redmi 1s, returned. Bought Redmi note 4, returned.
Despite that seeing the VFM and reviews went for Poco this time and same disappointment. Poor and cheap quality hardware.
Don't know whether FK will replace or not. Technician visit scheduled. It is tough to explain and convince those technicians without any knowledge about these kind of issues

I got my phone in first flash sale on Flipkart, and lemme tell you, this scroll smoothness thing as improved a little after a couple of UI updates.
I don't know if it's really a hardware issue. But till now I've not seen a single user reporting this issue on a custom ROM. Not in my knowledge.
Though, you can make it work better for you by setting the value of Window animation, transition animation and Animator duration scale to Animation off. These options are available under drawing's sub-menu in developer options.

You can't convince technicians. I once tried and he just refused to accept it. He will come and just open the hardware touch test screen and will show you that everything is working. You can also test it by going in about phone in settings and tap several times on kernel version (something like 4.9.xxx) and a new screen will pop up, now go to tuch screen and test it.
One more thing is this can't be minimized by reducing animation scale and you are not the only one facing this issue.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qpCEwODhfAmVxZzAijSLnHYzbmNrjITQ/view?usp=drivesdk
May be this video could help you to convince the technician, though the chances are really less.
The video clearly shows that scrolling on right side of screen is slower and less smoother than the scrolling done from mid screen.
Just got the open beta 8.12.13 OTA, following are the observation :-
1) Keyboard lag is minimized.
2) Scrolling near edges is improved but still buggy near bezels.
3) YouTube picture-in-picture mode doesn't work in full screen gesture mode in poco launcher home screen.
4) Screen flickering in lock screen is gone but further need to be tested.
4) Icon refresh is still there when minimizing any app.
5) Back gesture now works properly when any app folder on home screen is open.
6) Tuch delay of back button of navigation Bar is gone.
7) Touch sensitive of screen is bit improved.
8) Something flower like icon is added in left bottom of lockscreen.
9) Notification icon is same it was in previous beta.
Replacement accepted. After receiving the new unit, again need to apply for return and refund. Not sure if they will accept next time.
Just don't want to keep this phone.
Will go for lower specs but better quality.
Still suffering with Lenovo Z2 Plus which also at its time launched with flagship specs at less price.
I do not have much free time like I used to have earlier to troubleshoot such issues and try different custom roms. Need a phone with stable stock rom and good build quality.
Xiaomi quality is cheap and will never improve
Update: Replaced and then again returned. Got refund. Relaxed now.
Will never buy Xiaomi phone again.
Will pay bit extra and go for Nokia 8.1 or OnePlus 6T. Will wait for next offer or price drop.
Quality over Quantity always.
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.

It actually was working for me last night as far as the putting main screen to sleep function but call of duty still acts up I'm hoping the update for the game on May 1St will fix, but sure whenever you get a chance...

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
