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.

Without going into a long story I just bought another 300 yesterday after returning the previous one. Upon opening and inspecting it I noticed what looks like a crack along the bezel trim in the upper left corner (in landscape) Between the power and volume buttons. Its right along the bend from the side the to the top. Ive had other 300's and never saw this on any of the others. But Im not 100% sure its a crack. It might just be a joint spot that wasnt aligned right and therefore the paint doesnt cover it. Using my thumbnail I pried slightly to see if the crack opened but it doesnt. Its still secure. So can anyone else verify that they can tell that this is a joint spot?
I also noticed a few things underneath the screen, and normally this would drive me crazy, but after all these returns and exchanges Ive gotten to the point where Im accepting flaws that just shouldnt be there. Its charging now from being totally dead so Ive only gotten a glance at the powered on screen to look for light bleed, and there is one pretty noticeable spot, but it looks like it might be a keeper as far as that goes. As long as I cant see the few particles under the screen when its powered on it wont bother me too much. But if that spot is indeed a crack its definitely going back. Thanks guys
Definitely a joint spot. Holding the tablet in landscape, the bottom two corners also have similar, though less defined, "cracks", but the top right corner does not. Is it the same with yours?

No just the power button corner for me. Pic attached.
After closer inspection I can see that all 4 corners are like that. But the one in the pic is worse. I think they just joined the pieces unevenly, and that caused the line to show up. Im just glad its not a crack.
Well, I wasn't actually referring to them as cracks (hence quotes). I could barely see the seam by the power button, and the other two seams are even less noticeable.
Are you sure you have seams in all 4 corners? Like I said, I only have seams in 3 corners (I've checked the 4th corner many times).

Yea there there in all 4. But only on the edge visible from the front. Very hard to see but there. I cant believe how soft the plastic is. I can see small dents where I pushed down with my fingernail trying to see if the "crack" would move. Wont be doing that anymore.
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.
Hey,
so here is the problem - I bought Galaxy S6 from eBay, it was supposed to be Grade A, without any problems. Got it today, clear like a new - except home button which has some small scratches. And there came the problem - when pressing it, the left hand side clicks, but gets stuck. Meanwhile right side is stuck all the time.
What I mean by stuck? Basically, properly working home button in S6 sits a little bit above glass.
In my case right side of home button is flat with the glass all the time, so when I move my finger over it it slides without any problem.
Left side of home button sits above glass, but after I press it, it gets flat with the glass as well, and the whole button is the same level as glass, which feels just rubbish.
Left side comes back to its proper position when I press the right side or (sometimes) the center of the button. Other than that button works fine. scans fingerprint and so on.
Should I try and use some alcohol to wipe around the button, or could it be a mechanical defect and should I contact the seller about this? My biggest worry is this thing getting worse and worse over time.
Cheers
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.

So i just got my hands on a MotoG3 and wanted to ask you guys if there any sort of ripple/discoloration effec that you notice on the screen if you press the screen a little hard? Not very hard but more than a slight touch. I see small ripples around the area where I press on the screen. Is it normal?
Definitely not normal. Might be an issue with the glass and glue on top of your display.

If you press right in the middle of the screen, what do you see? A little more than average pressure.
Its like when you touch the screen of your laptop. The distortion in the LCD display.
makes me wonder if the screen was left out in the sun. You could take a chance and try to get an OEM lcd/digitizer on fleabay - just make sure it says oem. Also google for motorola g3 teardown and read them all.
I have the same thing on my device since day one. It hasn't got any worse or better and it is present only in one place - a liitle above the center to the right.
