Hi all,
Forgive me if this has been covered as it seems like it would be a pretty common complaint (even through i've searched the forums for 40 mins now with no luck of finding anything on it).
Basically is there a way for me to view my notifications in the same orientation that the alarm clock shows. As it is right now, I have my phone on my desk with the screen facing me, and every time somebody texts me or I receive a general notification I have to literally try to decode it in the 1 second that it shows up (upside down).
Any suggestions? I don't want to have to flip my phone upsidedown (with left handed mode enabled) every time I want to read a notification the right way up - this seems like a huge functional flaw in samsungs edge screen.
Thanks, Steve

I wish! Makes no sense the way it is, especially when the night clock is the right way up but nothing else is.
Only thing I have found to work (temporarily) is to open an app that can be rotated, then turn your phone so the edge is at the bottom, and then shut the flip cover. Now anything on the edge is the right way up. But as soon as you open an app the right way up again (or go home) then it goes upside-down again.
I think it's an accelerometer or gyroscope sensitivity issue. Mine works the way it should most of the time. On the times that it doesn't, I just move it a little bit to either the left or the right and the display orientation is corrected...
Yes but if you then place it on the table and let the edge turn off, then get a message the notification will be upside down again
Like I said, mine works as it should on most occasions. Lying flat on a table, I just rub the edge and the notifications are facing me.
When they don't, a simple nudge to the left or right re-orients the edge and the notifications face me again...

Does anyone noticing that the touchscreen on the S6 is very sensitive. The screen registers my touches even when my finger is not physically touching the glass. I like highly sensitive touchscreen but it can be annoying especially when I am scrolling webpages.

I might be wrong, but I think since the S4 or Note 3, the phone has had the ability to detect when a finger was hovering over a particular spot. Though that is probably incorect because I only vaguely remember reading something about that 2 years ago when Samsung started introducing crazy features like scrolling based off of tilt and such.

Yeah I remember this feature on previous Samsung phones, but there is nothing in the settings that indicates that there is such feature on the S6.
Screens don't even work with the note stylist.
I agree, it is SUPER sensitive. For me, this is a plus, because I tend to be too fast for most touch screens, and the extra sensitivity keeps the S6 on par with my quick hands. I actually love everything about this phone, and I am very picky.

But, does your device have accedental touches when swiping quickly a webpage or an app?

I don't have mine till later today, but, on the S5, there are two settings that may be affecting the issue you are having. Can you still search the settings on the S6? Look for "Air View" (main culprit) and "Touch Sensitivity".

No, my device doesn't have accidental touches, but my fingers do. lol
The device can't make me accidentally do it, it's not a fault of the phone

Both of those seen to have been removed as user options.
Sent from my SM-G900T using AllianceR(●)m
I would like to see the touch response time of this device's screen measured. It's seems very responsive .
Yes it does and it's really annoying. To replicate the issue, scroll down a web slowly and then lift a very little like 0.5-1mm of your finger while you scroll it up. So scroll down and then lift a bit and scroll up without touching the screen. When you do this fast enough, the page will scroll up following your finger movement without touching the screen at all. Weird.
The Air View feature was removed on the S6, it was present on the S5 and Note variants. Same thing with the Screen Sensitivity toggle from the S5, Samsung just opted to make the screen more sensitive by default.
i have an S5 and S6 so I was able to compare.
I used the S5 for about a week and the touch screen was great
once I got the S6 I noticed i keep accidently hitting back/window button . upon tinkering and testing I realized the screen is super sensitive. If you take both the S5 and S6 (one in each hand) and lay them face down on your lap together, the S6 will hit buttons (and thus vibrate), the S5 wont
Hello,
For touch screen problem try this:
-in dialer type *#2663#
-TSP firmware update (general)
You should see "PASS"
That have solve my touch screen problem...

Have that as well on my 1st S6 Vodafone EU 32gb.
Returned it for other reasons and will receive new one next week....
My touch screen was not sensitive at all, very unresponsive
I can verify that this indeed works:

I tried a reset, a full system restore, I tried safe mode, I tired uninstalling all apps, I tried screen tests and can verify for me, that this above solution was the only thing that fixed my problem.
Screen is working wonderfully now
Fix doesn't work for me?

I tried this and got an error message that this feature is not available on my service. I'm on US Cellular, I don't know if that matters or not. I saw this fix posted on another site and it seemed to work for a few people who were having the same issues that I'm experiencing. I'm not very technically savvy...do you actually dial/call this number sequence? How do I choose or command "TSP firmware update"? Thanks.
Some games are impossible to play because the screen is so sensitive it counts a touch as a swipe and some apps read as two touches. This happens consistently, not just here and there.

Not sure if it's just the way I'm holding the phone, but I frequently find myself turning on a timer, only to realise that I've paused/cancelled it like 2 secs after. Great when you put something in the oven and forget lol.
Hi
I'm using trying to use the stylus and I get a weird behavior only on OnePlus One phone.
I've activated the "show touches" option in dev settings of OnePlus One, so I see the circle on each touch.
The issue is that the first time the finger touches screen and is moving inside that circle, the circle doesn't move. This makes all drawing apps not register any movement even though the finger is moving. Once the finger goes outside the circle, the circle starts moving and then even very small finger movements are registered by drawing apps.
This doesn't happen on Samsung Galaxy S3 and the drawing happens even inside that little circle from the first time screen is touched. This makes drawing apps very accurate even when writing small letters.
Do you know what might cause this? Is it a hardware or software issue?
I've tried to root OPO, install several mods like CM13, Sultan's mod, SlimSaber or Resurrect mod, didn't solve the issue.
Thank you!
Did you try to change firmware with another one?
I have the exact same problem too and I've tried every firmware every ROM every kernel there is. Sometimes a swipe turns into a tap too. I believe it's a OPO-exclusive hardware problem. It's the most frustrating thing ever
So I can't explain what I did to cause this problem as it occurred while I was sleeping and apparently on top of my phone and the screen was not locked, so I hope someone will have some idea of what I did so I can undo it.
So when I woke up and looked at my screen the layout bounds were showing and anytime I touched on anything it was as if my phone screen were moving in slow motion. So I made my way to my developer options and turned off show layout bounds hoping it would fix everything, but all it did was fix that it still continued to move slow and still is a week later and it's driving me crazy. Like when I swipe to open my notification bar or my app drawer it very slowly slides out. It doesn't affect games or when I'm on an app only my phone settings and menus and screens. Anyone know what I may have done to cause this or know how to fix it?

Hi all.
For months ive been battling with a screen issue on my phone. Anytime im sliding or holding my finger on the ads, be it in app or browser, i get the touch noise like the screen is touched tens of times per second.
Ive tested multiple configs and checked for viruses, reset the phone and I still get this ****.
Additionally I get a random ghost touches with the screen looking like its a bit "warped" in the lower left corner as well near the top of the frame.
I have a hard time reproducing the ghost touches but im trying to prepare case for samsung warranty to get replacement.
So my question is: had any9ne experienced something like this before?

Its about the noise. The show touches and cursor position is for the troubleshooting and is not relevant to the video. Addding another video that shows what i mean. This is exprienced with both finger and s-pen.
I haven't experienced anything like that...sorry
