Google chrome + no screen tap response - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Sometimes when I'm in chrome or a chrome derived browser on this s8+ in the Google news search results, I will lose tap functioning. I can still scroll though and this seems to be isolated to the middle third of the screen or so. If I scroll the same link to the to of the screen, then I can tap it and it will load. This area is the screen works perfectly fine in all other applications, so I know it's not a digitizer or display problem. Anyone else?

Screen Calibration

Anyone know how to get to a screen calibration tool on the Captivate / Galaxy S? I've done a search and found a number of links for how to do it on HTC phones, but nothing for the Galaxy S.
My screen isn't far off, but on a number of different sites in the browser it will register a link below what I touched.
Thanks.
Steve
Sometimes the problem is how the browser is rendering the page/links. Now and then I have the same problem, zoom-in then zoom-out fix it.
I have this problem on google reader. It's like the ads that get tucked in at the bottom through the click-able area off.
So I usually try to open links from the bottom up. or just give it a little time to catch up... it usually does
My screen occasionally goes crazy on my captivate. I will be swyping in text and it will suddenly jump all over the place...one time it started in K9 mail, another in Dolphin mini browser. Once it starts the entire screen is effected and it makes navigation difficult and usually ends in a reboot. I am not sure if these apps have anything to do with it but I removed them and then reinstalled and that helped. Not sure if anyone has experienced something similar and if there is something in particular that might be causing it. It is extremely frustrating.
this issue has happened to me some times, I've noticed that all the times it happens is because the screen has humidity, water, sweat,etc. At least to me that is the reason.

Web browsing lag? Slow loading links...

I'm interested in getting this tab, and I've checked it out at bestbuy. My only concern was the web browsing lag I noticed. I've seen this also in some reviews of the tab. The lag happens when you click on a link at it'll take a good 5 seconds before it starts to even load the link. Viewing the pages is no problem, but going from link to link seems to be sluggish. I noticed this on my original galaxy tab as well.
I also noticed that the web browser for some reason dims the backlight. I know this was an option for the original tab, and I looked for some separate brightness setting but none was found.
Any owners want to chime in?
There are so many good alternative browser in the market that I do not bother to use the stock one any more. I recommend Miren Browser.
P_
i almost never use stock browers. also it depends on the connection speed and what you are trying to view. usually on the demo models at best buy they show all flash video. if you change that setting to on demand so you click the flash it speeds it up greatly
another bug i saw today... let me know if it exists. Go into any web browser and try to scroll at the very right edge of the screen in landscape. I tried this and it did not scroll. I tried this on the left side and it was no problem. I tried this after noticing the backspace on the keyboard doesn't register half the time. It seems like something is wrong with the screen on the right side. I'm wondering if the firmware update fixed this issue too.

S7 scrolling problem and responsiveness.

My s7 is brand new however why do i find it more hard to use from scrolling to texting it seems like the screen does not respond to touch effectively like for facebook when i scroll it has delays or touch respond is not sensitive enough making my thumb tired compared to other android ?
Nah that's not normal.
Did you do a touch-test?
Dialer dial *#0*#
then use the 'Touch' button
Also do you feel that slugishness everywhere or just in certain apps?
Facebook app is not a good example, as it's a sh*t app.
I have the same issue. Wasnt sure if it was just the otter box glass causing it or what else. Tried the touch test, see a slight improvement. But still a lag....for me its all apps. Keyboard, etc

Do you havee the international version or something provider branded?
Also try clearing the cache in recovery mode.
Last try would be to run it in safe mode and see if it's still laggy with the 3rd party apps disabled

Crazy Scrolling, Screen Too Sensitive?

Is anyone else experiencing jumpy scrolling? When scrolling slowly through anything on the screen (not fast free scrolling), when I lift my finger up, the screen just jumps quickly either up or down. Maybe the screen is too sensitive and incorrectly registers my finger disengaging the screen as a gesture to do a fast scroll? Could this be just a software issue?
I am also experiencing this scrolling issues but only when I am in the Samsung gallery app.The scrolling skips when I lift my finger.It seems that it is too fast or too sensitive to the touch.
yeah get this as well doesn't seem to matter what rom im on notice it the most when going through recent apps. Cant seem to actually press the app it'l just fly past it.

Agree with this^^
I haven't had any issues anywhere else but the stock gallery app
These usually happens when the processor/memory can't catch up with the scrolling. The phone needs to read the pictures, create thumbnails, then show it. But you scroll faster than it can process that.
Some gallery apps will create a thumbnail database after that initial use. You'll notice that viewing gallery will be smoother next time. That is if the gallery app created the thumbnail database.

I'm hoping this means that, eventually, it'll catch up and this won't continue to happen? It's been quite a few times now for me in the gallery and it can definitely get kind of annoying
Anyone else encountering this? Not really noticeable at first, but you'll see it soon.
Do you have any accessibility stuff turned on like triple tap to zoom etc? Apparently any of these settings cause the phone to do this.
yes.. i had the same, but today i recieved the new update. The one with the color calibration in it.
Or, some setting did reset, or something in the driver changed. But its perfect now.
Smooth scrolling and no stuttering like you explained
Is there a good and reliable app to adjust the sensitivity of the screen?

if any of you installed a bixby remap app, probably thats the issue that you are encounting, i had one app and as soon i uninstalled it the problem disappeared.
This was exactly my problem. Thank you for this post. Wish samsung would just let us remap that stupid button already
Correct

This was the solution to my screen scrolling up and down very quickly in gallery. I uninstalled Bixby Button Remapper and all was resolved instantly.

This was my problem...screen would wobble when I tried to scroll slowly in gallery app. Thanks.
Same here, problem in gallery solved after uninstalling bixby remap
This is still a really annoying issue on the Recent Apps screen, the second I lift my finger, the app tiles bounce down one, so when I go to quickly tap an app while scrolling makes me open the wrong app.. it's like they snap to a grid instead of scrolling naturally. Really annoying.
Exactamente éste es el inconveniente, cuando desinstalé la apk bixby remap, desapareció el tembloroso problema
Saludos
Thank you! I was also able uninstall the Bixby Remapper map and the problem goes away.
Removing the bixby button remapping app resolved my screen flickering issue in the gallery. Thanks for saving me hours of troubleshooting time.

Edges are being cut/shorten on Instagram

Hello guys,
I am fairly new with Huawei phones and phones with a notch.
Especially when using Instagram (browisng stories), the sides of the app are being cut, like the image is just smaller than on a normal/different phone. So if there is a text just on the edge, it would be cut and you would not be able to read it.
I was wondering if there is anyway to fix it.
I heared there is something like "fullscreen mode" for apps, but when I go to Settings and click it, Instagram is not on the list. Could I disable it (cause maybe it is enabled), just for this specific app?
No root etc.
Kind regards!

Im experiencing the exact same issue. What you can do is hiding the noth in system settings. Then you`ll get Insta (including stories) in fullscreen. BUT: Then the buttons for Text, Pen, image dont react to your touches. Its a complete mess. Can you confirm the problems with touch in hide notch mode?
I will check my IG app in a sec, but I think fullscreen mode is only available for apps that don't support the display.
I think apps like IG that natively 'support' these displays just don't display in the fullscreen mode settings.

The problem still occurs with hide notch mode ON, it is a bit better, but still edges on the sides are being cropped.
@Ephixi4 yeah I reinstalled the app, but fullscreen is not an option for IG. So it seems like it is either problem with a ROM or IG problem with not displaying their content properly for different res/notches.

Yes, I checked that, too. It doesnt show the entire screen. Did you check if the buttons work properly, when hiding notch is enabled?

I use the finger print scanner instead of navigation bar, that seems to work just fine.
I really wonder if it's OS issue for cropping app like that or IG.
Hoping for workaround soon.
@Larlen so I have notch visible but I have my soft keys hidden and I use the fingerprint scanner as navigation button.
Had no issues with IG app, maybe because of that?
But it seems more that the app is not very well designed to fit these screens and notch. When you want to edit a picture the brightness toggle is cropped because of the notch.

It doesn't seem to be an issue with the notch, rather an issue with the screen ratio, with the notch not hidden it's 18.7/9, and with it hidden its 18/9, and it looks like alot of the apps are not optimized for 2/1 screen ratios yet

Well, I wasnt talking about the system navigation. I use the fingerprint sensor, too. I was talking about the Instagram Buttons in Story Mode, when hiding the notch. The Buttons for editing a story pic, before you actually post it.
These Buttons (for inserting a text, or a gif etc) dont really work...
Can yoo confirm? or dont you guys just dont use instagram storys?

I can confirm this. The story buttons are not responsive. I can get them to work sometimes after tapping on them continuously but it's super annoying. However, I found out that swiping up opens the sticker menu so that's a workaround at least.

Well, yes, but when I swipe up and see the emojis, they dont react neither...
Have the same issue. The buttons are not responsive because they are in the notch area. I've found they do work when you tap below the buttons as if they were below the notch area. The phone thinks the are still in the same spot as usually but it shows them in the top corner.
My insta stories also cuts of edges from pictures I made vertically. It's because of the screen ratio. I can't get them right even if I cut it the right ratio with an other app.
Why instagram still did not updated the app. The problem annoys too much. Anyone knows a workaround?
I use the fingerprint sensor to navigate and not the classic Android bottom bar.
I just tried right now on a story: if I use instead the classic bottom bar, I can see the whole story. If I hide the bottom bar, then the story takes the full screen and it crops the edges, right and left...
As someone said, it has to do with developers and not the phone I guess.
I hope IG will fix it soon
hey guys i am using the nova3i and have the same problem. What sux more that my friend told me that even my stories are being cropped once seen by them on their devices .
