On previous S phones, there was an option to turn on sensitive screen. In my s7, there is no such option but it seems like it's turned on. It registers touch even if I don't touch screen (from 1-2 millimeters away). It's so annoying.
Plus, it registers my nails as touch, s6 wasn't like this.
Anyone find this annoying as well?
I'm rooted, maybe there is a way to adjust it.. Please let me know if so.

I'm having the same issue. If I put the phone in my pocket with the screen on it registers touches from the fabric of my pocket. I've never had a phone register touches to that extreme. Screen is very sensitive. I keep hitting the back button also which is really easy to fix and pisses me off Samsung hasn't done it yet.
It took a few days for me to get use to the extra sensitivity vs Nexus5x. Keep using it and you won't notice after few days.
I have the regular s7 and the sensitivity is driving me nuts too. I keep bursting photos since the camera thinks I'm still pressing down when I lift my finger up. Using the phone in general makes the phone have a seizure. I hold the phone with my left hand and scroll with my right, but I can't grip the phone without the fleshy palm bit under my thumb and my fingertips touching the screen since the bezel is so thin. This makes the phone go crazy since so many parts are being touched at the same time. If I change the way I hold my phone in any way, I know I will drop the phone, especially since my hands are small.
I'm waiting for a case to be shipped to me, so hopefully that will help stop my fingertips and palms from touching the screen during general use.
Still, this is a problem.
I too have noticed that the sensitivity of the capacitive buttons (mainly the back button) is waaayyyyyy too high. I'm finding that when my thumb isn't even touching it, but just hovering over it, that it activates the back button. Also, when scrolling through pages, I've noticed ghost button presses of the back button.
The only thing I agree with here in touching the screen while gripping it.
None of the other stuff at all. Not even a tiny bit.
If you can press buttons and control the screen without touching it you are part way through your padawan training.

Capacitive buttons are OK, only screen sensitivity is too high for me. Strange.

Hi all,
It seems to me that the edge of the lcd screen is not responsive (both left and right) at times when I put it inside a leather case(similar to theM1 case). If I take it out of the case, it's very responsive.
Does anyone notice the same problem?
Thanks.
I've brought that up before. Out of the case the screen is very responsive all over. In a case it's much less responsive around the edges. If you use the screen calibration apk it helps a little, and I find you get a better response around the edges using your thumb than pointer.
I don't know of any real solution, or what causes it.

glad to know i am not the only one with the problem.
My guess is that the case must touch the tablet somewhere that confuses the touch sensor.
mine did this for a little while and then just went away. the calibration didn't help and reloading the ROM didn't either.

Can you try to remember what you could have done to make it go away? Changed or modified the case in anyway?
It's so annoying.
It seems as if the G-Tablet's touch sensor is EXTREMELY sensitive. It even detected my headphone wire touching it. I knew this because when I would touch it at the same time the wire was on it, it would start spazzing out. Remove the wire, effect gone. Be happy that this thing is ultrasensitive. Could be worse, could be a resistive touchscreen.
its not possible it is a capcitative touch screen. I am experiencing the same problem I think it has do with part of our finger is on the case and not on the screen. If i press on it and roll it side to side a bit it will pick up my touch
I have found that using live wallpapers reduces the responsiveness of the touch screen especially around the edges.
Base on my experience with these device in the past, all the live wallpaper does is eat up your cpu horsepower. You want your device to operate at its optimum, yes? Just use a regular wallpaper. Kill all non-essential tasks.
Unfortunately I don't have any productive advice but I can tell you that I bought the p4 case off of steve (great website fast shipping) and a capacitive stylus. Like you described it was totally unresponsive toward the edges. I tried the calibration app and no significant success. After a couple of days use it started registering the touches consistently.
Anyone else have a somewhat wobbly phone button? Mine just doesn't feel very study, and I can wiggle it if I want to. It's so mildly irritating that it's driving the perfectionist in me insane.
Thinking about getting a replacement.
Mine a little wobbly and if you shake phone it rattles a bit don't know if this is normal

Every one I've seen is the same so I'm guessing its normal
No it shouldn't be, unfortunately it is. Most devices have this problem, mine has too. I have seen another S6 that had not the Problem, but chances to get a S6 with perfect homebutton is probably very low now.
Mines not lose or rattles
This s6 is turning into a nightmare for me loose button screen brighter at the bottom than the top on dark screens shame really such a great phone
My GS6 flat in white has this issue too. The left side of the home button rattles a little when tapped on it. Is it normal?
Is there a video showing the wobble?
There's the exact same amount of movement on both my wife's and my S6. But I'm not certain how much of a wobble is considered a defect. How much wobble is too much wobble? When you hear a noise upon pressing or moving around the device?
I think the home button needs to have a slight wobble to help form to the finger for the fingerprint scanner. If it was so stiff with no wobble or movement, then you user would need to adjust slightly more their finger to get the print just right. But I'm thinking it was designed to have a slight wobble so that it will help conform and read the fingerprint better. Of course I could be wrong, and just speculating.
I'd still be curious to see someone's S6 homebutton wobble. I'd like to compare my wobble with your wobble.
My white s6 has a loose home button also. I had an edge for a little while so could compare the two. The one on my s6 is loose in comparison. By this I mean if you lightly tap it you can hear it...didn't have this on the edge. I've also noticed that on some occasions when I go to wake the phone up the first press on the home button does not always register.

i've just noticed the same rattling sound ? it doesn't really bother me that much but you could always try to get a replacement from your carrier

This is happening to me as well. It really bothers me, I've checked with Note 4 and SGs5, the home button is firm. It doesn't soppuse to be loose as there are many S6 with a firm home button.

I returned 2 Galaxy S6 already... 1st had bad signal second had awful home button felt so cheap.
. Im on my 3rd now it's better but I think the rattle is starting to come back... Also when waking the phone with home button first press does nothing... Very strange
I think the wobbling is because of the fingerprint scanner but I don't remember it on the other S6's I had. I did try some in the store and it seemed the same. I'm hoping it's normal.
I have the same issue
I also have the issue. There isn't any wobble on my girlfriends edge, it feels rock solid, it's also a little more extruded from the device.
Very very slight movement but nothing to shout home about!

My GS6 has wobbly button, but my brother has AT&T GS6 edge and his button is sturdy. So generally speaking my GS6 has defective home button
So, it is worth to replace it, or the chance to get a perfect one is very little?
I am having problem with my touch screen it is not sensitive enough. Any idea how to make it more sensitive?
I feel like it is way too sensitive. I can't even hold my phone in one hand without activating apps that are on the right and left sides of the screen.

Get a case, same was happening to me, the bezel is too thin along the sides of the screen, I got this one, never had the problem since

Sometimes when I pick my phone up and my thumb is onscreen, I feel a slight click, as if the screen has some give between it and the internals. Is this normal??? Try taking your phone, and with your 4 fingers on back, and thumb on front, press it. Does it slightly click/move?
You can hard press the home button (if Always On Display is enabled) to turn on screen instead of the power button. But it only does it when your thumb is near the bottom middle.

I've tried pressing down on my screen like you have said and I don't have any movement between the frame and the screen.
I'm not sure how this would affect the water resistance rating, so I would suggest contacting your carrier/Samsung.
Do you have a glass screen protector on?

Your glass isnt glue in place correctly.
Believe it or not it happens to all samsung phones, more so on the cruved phones.
I would take it back to the store and have them replace it.
Some have gotten by with heating the phone with a blow dryer and pressing it down around the edges. But that can be risky.
My phone is having some sensitivity issue. When laying flat on surface or sometimes holding my phone with one hand, the screen will have intermittent touch.
E.g. unable to scroll the page instead it will click to the screen. Is there a way to increase the touch distributor sensitivity like Samsung phone? Or it is a hardware issue? Thanks
