Somehow I keep accidentally activating it, but it's basically just a dim blank screen that only shows the time and date, and the two tabs for the edge screen?
It happens every time I pick my phone up..thanks. I can't seem to find it anywhere.
This is the quick notification from the edge alerts. You can swipe the tabs on the side towards the middle of the screen to see what they contain.

Anyone else find it odd that you can't swipe the sleeping edge to the right to get the t-1 screen without swiping left first.
I'm mean is a dedicated screen swiping it right or left should activate it.
Any way to change it?
Hey guys
I recently dropped my phone and cracked the top right corner of the screen and as a result, a triangle shaped corner of the touchscreen doesn't work anymore. This isn't really a problem in itself, but the phone randomly presses that area of the phone without me touching it, which makes it hard to do things like text (as it's constantly tapping that dead corner of the screen and exiting apps etc).
I did a bit of research and I know Iphones have a feature called guided access that disables areas of the screen (like the notification area etc. to stop children from messing around with phones when playing games) and I was hoping to find a similar app to do the same to disable this corner, but I haven't been able to find any. There's only apps like surelock that can disable the whole screen, but not specific areas of it.
Does anyone know of an app I can use to do this, or perhaps another way to just disable this section of my screen? I was also looking into changing the resolution to use a smaller area of the physical screen but am not sure that's possible.
Thanks!

Recently, after booting from regular or Safe Mode, the phone does not get to the PIN lock screen. Instead there's a rectangular screen in the middle surrounded by black space. That middle screen consists of 3 sets of screens that are accessed by swiping up or down.
One screen set consists of different clocks that can be accessed by swiping right or left of each image.
Another screen consists of a Notifications status screen. There is no left-right swiping for that screen.
Another screen consists of the music player interface that plays tunes via the player controls. There is no left-right swiping for that screen.
A phone call screen pops up when someone calls and we can accept the call and talk.
However, we can't consistently get to the PIN lock screen or the regular phone interface to access apps. We've tried removing the battery and booting in Safe Mode, but none of that makes a difference. However, the lock screen occasionally appears if we keep making attempts to move the phone to different positions.
After removing the lock screen we can pull down notifications but still can't get to the Home screen by pressing the Home button. I was intermittently able to access the phone screens long enough to take some screenshots of the offending window that is blocking the Home screen.

Any ideas on how we can get the phone back to normal operation will be appreciated. Thanks.

I think the problem was due to the Pouch Mode feature, which allows some app features such as notifications to appear after pulling the phone out of a pocket or pouch.
Connectivity -> Pouch Mode was enabled. The pre-Home screen problem went away after I disabled it.
Also I have the same problem
Hello. So i made the switch to the S10e and i've been running into this issue where if i accidentally hold my phone with my finger just touching the selfie camera (or any part of the status/notification bar at the top of the screen), any and all other touch inputs just get disabled.
Any solutions to this? I assume Android thinks i'm going to pull it down and disables every other touch or something, but is there an option not to do that but still keep the draggable status bar? This also happens in all apps and the home screen/apps etc. no matter the screen.
Activating Show Taps in developer shows that the OS DOES see both my taps, the status bar and anything else, just that the software-side blocks other inputs once that initial status bar touch is seen and still active. It does NOT happen with the back/home/apps bar or generally anywhere else. I have tried making sure Nova launcher isn't doing anything. Tried Accidental touch protection On and Off and a host of other settings. Confirmed this is a status bar issue with hiding it in Samsung Internet and repeating the test.
Tried EdgeTouch with NiceLock but it only really helps for the sides which aren't really my issue.
Rarely this sometimes happens with stuff on screen too in the OS itself and in apps. Usually it's with triggering a function like holding the phone with touching the left hand of the screen and accidentally 'dragging' a menu' into view a few pixels, and then that disables all other input until it's gone. But that's fine since it's very rare. It's more more often than the status/notification bar is my main issue.

Do you use a case? That's what help'd me with accidental screen touches. An "ultra slim" case was all it took for me. Hope you find what works for you.
I am really against cases, as i really want a compact fone, and there are extremely few which get launched with AMOLED nowdays. I'd rather solve this via software.

This popped up on my phone today. Its a dark tab kind of thing that sits on the side of my screen. Got an option to activate it (which i did) and now its sitting on the edge of my screen. Basically a quick way of searching google. It sits in front of everything and goes transparent after a while. I can slide it up a down and between sides of the screen to reposition it. A long press pops up options at the bottom to hide it or turn it off.
I cant find anything about it online yet. Does anyone else have it?

Got the same today, Huawei P30 Pro using Nova Launcher. Great little feature, seems nicely integrated.
