I just brought a TP 2 days ago (previously TytnII), cool phone, fast and lots of ram.......but the response of the stylus on the screen is slow and sometimes you have to press harder to get a response , finger touch is great though....... any one has this problem or do i have a faulty device ........
Install AdvancedConfig and in TF section there are 2 settings: "Pressure threshold" and "Finger pressure". Set it to maximum and apply changes. It is much more better.
I read that Pressure Threshold to 41 Finger Pressure to 18 was an optimal setting.
I've tried those settings but I'm still wondering if the touchscreen can be set more sensitive.
I have some trouble hitting scrollbars, especially along the right edge of the screen. I need to press noticeably harder. It may just be inherent with the construction of the screen, I assume the edges need more pressure just because the edges are harder and the center is softer. From what I understand, resistive touchscreens have two layers that need to make contact, so in the center its easier to make the layers touch, on the edges it would be more rigid since the two layers are fastened along the edges.
Anyway I tried lowering the Threshold and Pressure values way down and my screen wouldn't respond any more, I had to use Mobiler to set them back to 41 and 18 through my PC.
Can anyone explain how the Pressure Threshold and Finger Pressure settings work?
I assumed setting the Pressure Threshold very low would make it more sensitive(why not 5 or 10?) and setting Finger Pressure high would make each press register more strongly. Doesn't seem to be the case though.
41 and 18 are very usable and way better than whatever the stock ROM had, but I'm still trying to see whats the most sensitive setting possible.
Align Screen
Do a screen alignment that should get you back to the correct stylus settings

I have two questions on this round.
Here's the situation. I have a sprint touch, my dad has an Elf, [touch cdma & gsm]
so i was playing around with his gsm, and i managed to notice something before i stole his stylus.
the touchs creen in the elf is VERY sensitive.. i mean i gently rubbed my finger on screen to clean it as i do on my vogue but instead i scrolled.. i was wondering why so sensitive? i didn't do the least effort of touching screen and i did.
What is finger pressure & Threshold? i set finger pressure to 500 and threshold to 5000 and my phones touch screen was useless, i could only use through my mobiler before hard resetting.
and i retrieved the GRPS settings from teh Data Connection on his elf, and i was wondering if i could use the same settings on my vogue.
so in conclusion:
How do i set my Vogue screen to high sensitivity?
How do i set GPRS settings on my Vogue?
Quick question, I have two spots on the screen that when press along the edges of left or right of the scrren the middle of the screen and lower left of the screen (with more pressure than needed to operate the screen,) it will have ripple effect effect. I am wondering if this is isolated or widespread?

1. Dont do that
2. That happens with any lcd screen when you "press harder than needed"
Has anyone found a way or believe it is possible to control how sensitive each button on the touch cover is? I presume the software just sees it as a giant flat surface, and then maps presses in specific areas to button presses. So I guess really you would be saying to the software that touches from this specific area of the cover we are going to accept at a lower pressure.
What I want is to be able to increase the sensitivity of the spacebar area. I feel like when typing from my lapt or any other non solid surface that I really have to hit the spacebar for it to register, where as the rest of the buttons feel spot on.
Thoughts?

It's funny you mention that, because I have more or less the same issue, but with the Shift keys. I always miss the Shift key and hit either below it or I don't hit it hard enough. I want to prevent that from happening because it can get kind of annoying. Great question.
Your assumption is not actually true, by the way - different parts of the cover have different sensors, or no sensor, under them.
I've found hitting the spacebar with my left thumb way more reliable than with my right. Not sure why, and since this isn't my default style, it currently slows down my typing. Also, if I remember to hit further upward on the bar, it works better. It's sensitive all the way down to the top of the trackpad, but it's either more sensitive closer to the other keys, or something about my hand geometry makes me naturally hit it better when I hit further up.
I always found the sensitivity to be a bit low for my taste and I can't get over this particular sensitivity level still. Since it's software that interprets presses, there could be a registry key for that. Microsoft should make it a setting.
Anyway, I'm also starting to experience a bigger problem - certain keys' sensitivity degrading. Now it takes considerably more force for such often used keys as A and S to register compared to the rarely used ones. While it takes an okay amount of pressure for a "devices" button to register a click, I have to stab the A for it to register. And I think it will get worse.
P.S.: I type quite a lot though wouldn't go for the type cover because touch cover is more aesthetically pleasing and good enough as a keyboard if worked correctly, up to it's potential.
Also, I think most people would appreciate autocorrect on the touch cover.
S8/+ has pressure sensitive zone at home button(and possibly all screen). I don't use AOD, but just press the home button location...just act like a regular button is there. Great hardware. I am sure there will be more App using pressure sensitive feature.
And what is the question?
Just queriou why Samsung not mentioning about this.

They are mentioning about it, did you watch the presentation? There was a long segment about how they "moved the home button under the screen", meaning adding a pressure sensitive sensor to the virtual home button, that acts like a physical home button press when triggered.
But honestly, the technology is not complex, it's literally just one single pressure sensitive sensor at one point of the display. The whole screen isn't pressure sensitive, only the very bottom middle is. This is nowhere near Apple's 3D touch in complexity, since with Apple the entire screen is highly pressure sensitive and accurate, but with the S8 only one spot is, and it's not even really accurate.
It works perfectly for its purpose (I use it every single time I unlock my phone), but it does glitch out once in a while, and is sometimes harder to press than other times. Because uses for full screen pressure sensitive technology don't exist for Android yet, it really only makes sense to use this technology purely for navigation. A full pressure sensitive display would raise the manufacturing costs and selling prices, and there wouldn't be a lot of uses for it, since you can easily long press an icon to do the same thing as a hard press would do. Apple's ecosystem is very closed, and for this reason they could adapt a new technology like 3D touch quickly, it'll take way longer for Android to have something similar on the entire screen.
Edit: Turned out it was a ROM and bootloader issue . Reflashing fixed it.
When I was trying to enable android pay, I need to enable pattern for screen lock. And I feel that I cannot really touch the lowest part of the screen,.
So I enable the developer mode and show touch point. And I found that the lowest 5mm of the screen were not response to the touch. there are also 3mm to 5mm dead zone around the edge for other direction. Hows yours?
Edited
I re-tested with a touch pen. And found that only the right screen and the bottom screen has the dead zone.
