Does anyone have an s6 active and have touchscreen issues? I noticed it when I type that my messages come out a mess because it's clicking and swiping places I don't want it to. I really notice when I play a match 3 puzzle game. If I touch a piece it will register my touch as it's moving a little bit and the puzzle piece moves without my moving my finger. Would like to hear if anyone else experiences this. I was going to go to a store and play with another active and see if it's just mine or not.
I started having some weird problems on my s6 flat (non active) right a few minutes ago just texting, so I ran a multitouch test app and I found that my g920f is behaving (I hope software related) like it cannot recognize more than 2 fingers when i start colliding more than 4-5 fingers together... I'll try to bring it back to stock..
Bring your S6 Active back sa Samsung for warranty check.

Hello,
My NS' on 2.3.4 (stock) left side of touchscreen becomes unresponsive at random times on any app or in any mode. Such as, sliding to answer a call, scrolling through contacts, texting, e-mails, market, etc. pretty much everything. In google maps, I can't drag from left to right, but going from right to left, the left side works until you lift your finger.
I sent it to Samsung twice for this issue, the Samsung Tech basically says he updates software and its repaired. I just got it back yesterday from repair and the issue arose within 20 minutes.
Why can't they fix it?
Isn't it a hardware problem?
Could my SIM be bad?
How many times do I have to send it in to get it fixed or replaced?
So far my experience with SAMSUNG Tech support is terrible.
Thanks for any input.
YOU NEED TO RAISE HELL IN THE STORE YOU HAVE ALREADY GIVEN THEM THE OPPERTUNITY TO FIX THE PHONE. tHE SCREEN IS BAD PLAIN AND SIMPLE. sry caps
Update on my NEXUS S in case anyone cares. Basically I called Samsung about 5 times to finally get the customer service person to make some good notes on my phone for their tech to read. I also placed a note in the package telling the tech that the simple "software upgrade" trick did not work twice. I also requested that they replace the touchscreen. I then sent multiple e-mails to the contract repair facility in Plano Texas (RSI) telling them the problem.
Anyway the phone came back with a new touch screen and works properly now. The new screen has a smoother curve to the glass, the old screen looked like it was bent in about 5 places, looked like corrugated roofing tin. I'm not a fan of the curved glass.
So I shipped the phone 3 times to Samsung and they finally fixed in (knock on wood). What a pain to be without the Nexus S for basically a month.
I use a ZooGue stylus with my Galaxy Tab 8.9 (Stock, non-rooted) and it works GREAT for drawing.
I recently purchased a Tab 2 7.0 (P3113) for my wife (she likes the smaller form factor) but when attempting to draw using multiple drawing apps it is extremely choppy. When using my finger it seems to be better, but she really wants to use a stylus. I've looked thru the settings and can't find anything that would make a difference. I've also looked thru the forums here at xda and can't find anyone that has posted anything similar.
Has anyone else experienced the same and if so is there a way to fix this problem?
Thanks for any insight that could be given!

I think I've run into what you are talking about. I can't draw straight lines with a stylus. when I try to draw a line, the screen registers it as a zig zag. I'm not sure if this is what you mean by "choppy." I can draw lines fine with my finger.
I noticed that it's near impossible to draw in SketchUp - it takes 1/3 to 1/2 second for the lines to catch up to my finger.
I assumed it was just the compromise you make with buying a low-end tablet. I'd love to hear that it isn't!

Yes, that's part, as well as attempting to draw small circles/curves either skips or shows as a straight(ish) line. Hopefully a solution can be found soon otherwise this one is going back.
Indeed.
I noticed this issue from day one since the first thing I did was play Draw Something. No matter the app, swiping your finger in a slow and steady manner will help notice the stutters/lag.
I also attempted to use a stylus because I thought there was some sort of weird calibration issue, but to my surprise, it got even worse. The strange zig-zag phenomenon appeared, making it impossible to draw anything. Even though it's only noticeable when you drag/swipe/draw something, it's annoying as heck. Hell, I even recently found a dead pixel in the middle of the screen, adding up to the annoyance factor.
Still got like 1-2 weeks available to return it to Best Buy, and I'm not sure what to do...
Dear members,
I would like to know the truth behind the issues faced by the HTC one X, which I read in many websites across the internet(and few here)
I was decided to get one for me untill last week, but the issues what I read for one X confused me.The issues that I came across was;
over heating(guess its obvious for smart phones)
Wi-fi issues(death grip issue)
screen/display flickering,
yellow spots on display,
Frequent black screens,
Restart troubles,
Music player issues(when music player stops when gallery is used)
Taiwan made phone's facing issues over Chineese made ones.
Kindly address these issues ASAP, as I had already made up my mind to go for HOX, so that I can buy one with relaxed mind...
I cant think of any other smartphones as of now.
Thanks in advance

I second this post and would really like to know how current owners are experiencing these issues.
Mine is a Rogers HTC One X.
Got it about 3 weeks ago. Just sent it in for repair, just outside the 14 day exchange range
overheating wise, yes, it can get a bit warm at use but same for any small tightly packed smartphone. I didn't have any wifi issues or any issues you had stated.
The problem with mine was holding the phone vertically. About half way down, there was a 1cm horizontal strip that did not react to touch. Just where the ok and cancel options pop up on some games/apps. You would need to rotate the screen so you could "tap" those buttons and get a reaction.
I turned on the developer mode and the mouse tracking/button press options and you can trace your finger down the screen and you can see where it stops then continues with a 1cm or so gap between where it wasn't responsive. This gap was the entire width of the screen not just a spot or two in that 1cm zone.
The phone was never dropped, bent, sat on etc. Mint screen and case, no case or touchscreen protection. This issue occurred quite suddenly about 16 days in, only noticed it when some games didn't let me exit when hitting the cancel options. Originally thought the game or the app was at issue. Then realized it was the touch screen. Did a full reset a few times, same problems. Now patiently awaiting for my phone back. Rogers phone/loaner suck as well, gave me a Nokia C3 POS as a loaner. Using my old motorola milestone instead.
Hey guys, I'm wondering if you're experiencing the same with your phones. My phone noticably vibrates when tapped on the back, to the point I often think I have some notification when - for example - I accidentally pat on it when in my pocket. It also gives off a faint resonating sound. Just wondering if it's a build quality fault, or a normal thing. It is pretty annoying, to the point I'm thinking of sending it to Samsung to get it checked out. The phone otherwise is sweet, but I don't think that's how a flagship should feel, it feels some kind of frail, as if something is loose inside. My friends S7 doesn't have this issue, but I'm working in a phone retail shop, and noticed at least one other device that acts the same as mine. So maybe Samsung is using two different vibration motors in S7s?
Smart Alert maybe?
Your device will vibrate when you pick it up to notify you about missed calls and messages (could be sensing the tap as being picked up)
Settings > Advanced Features > Smart Alert
I'm aware of that. It's not that the phone is vibrating. The vibration motor is not buzzing at this point, it just resonates when you pat it on the back with your hand. I can describe it best that it feels like if it had a thick loose spring inside.

My S7 is solid if I tap it, even if I tap it firmly it doesn't vibrate or resonate in any way, holding it by the edges lightly between two fingers and tapping the back or front, having it lose in my pocket and tapping it, no vibrating at all, I get the same feel if I tap my computer desk as I do if I tap the phone, solid feel.
My one is also vibrating if I tap on the backside.
Just checked both S7 we got at the store right now, one resonates, another one doesn't. Leads me to believe Samsung uses two different vibration motors in S7.
EDIT: it vibrates only when tapped on right side, mostly right top side. I guess it might also be badly adhered heat pipe...?
Nothing happens with mine (G930F) when I tap it, just feels solid
I have the same problem when tapped on the right hand side I brought two galaxy s7 mines black and the other is gold and only the back one does it
Mine SGS7 (black EU version) have the same issue. Seems like vibration motor isn't blocked or something like this. Te vibrations is most noticalbe on left top corner (from the back side) where si vibrating moror placed. Also don't know if it's just common thing on most of galaxy devices or it's stomething which should be repaired.
I don't think that's a problem or issue. I've had the same thing on my s5 and now on s7.
I think that's because of button type motors used in both devices.
This happens with my G930W S7 as well, haven't noticed any negative effects from it.
Yup, same thing happens with my s7 as well. I previously had Swiss version (manufactured around december 2016) and it was solid. Now, after changing phones to another s7, French version (manufactured around march 2017) there is a fain vibration when i tap it. My guess was that wireless charging coils were not glued very well, but I guess vibration motor makes more sense. I haven't noticed any negative effects.
I believe that vibrations are from camera. When camera isn't active OIS is disabled, so lens can move around a bit. I noticed this effect on SGS5 too.
I play rhythm games (Arcaea, pjsk) and today when I touched the game back, it simply doesn't register my third and fourth hold, only the first two. After installing a multi-hold test, it seems like my phone is capable of registering only 2 holds now, which in the past it was able to reg 5 holds.
Now I might have a reason why, today I went to a mausoleum and accidently put my phone in the scanner. I speculated that it mightve ruined my phone's sensor and I'm worrying that I'll need to bring this to a phone expert. Should I actually do it, or it's some system jank?
My device is Samsung Galaxy A12
Addedum, looks like 5-hold works on places that are not on a hard surface (my thigh, air, even the wall) but it would bug out when i lay my phone on a book (capable of 3-hold) and when I lay it on my anti-slip mat (2 holds)
Wrong forum section mate. This is for S22 devices.
