Random vertical screen flipping - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

This has been a problem for a while with my Galaxy s8+. I'll be playing a game (using my phone horizontally) and the screen will flip upside down for no apparent reason. Playing tense games with this problem is infuriating to say the least.
I have searched many places for an answer to this. But whenever I try to specify my problem to Google it always comes up with another problem that has nothing to do with mine.
The question: Is there a button/function thing on my phone to disable the screen flipping around everywhere?

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.

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.

[Q] Majoras Mask problems in n64oid 2.3?

Hey all. Are there known issues with this game and Android emulation? I've played about a half an hour of the game just fine, better graphics than OOT and it sometimes even had a more consistent framerate. I was stoked! However, I experienced a few black screens during that time - the graphics would just go black but the game was still running (I could move around and hear my footsteps, music, etc). I could always just reload my previous save state and be fine. Now, however, I'm getting a black screen at an exact moment every time so I can't get around it. I just gave the moon tear to the deku scrub and the bell for the second day starts chiming. As soon as the second bell chimes I get a black screen and can no longer play.
Anyone hear of this happening? Is there a fix anywhere?
try saving RIGHT before it and then try again, make a 2nd save while it happens, reload the save and see if it's still black. if not keep trying the save b4 to see if u can get through, happened to me with animal forest!
Well, I've gotten past it for now. Basically I just switched the GFX plugin to the 'original' one, screen didn't go black, waited a few seconds, then saved and switched back to the 'default' plugin.
Hopefully this will work every time.
I'm having this exact problem with N64oid v2.4.3 on Majoras Mask.
Im on Day 2 in Clock Town, and after loading my save-state, within 5-10 seconds of running around or even just looking in first-person, the screen renders solid black. I dont have any 'gfx plugin' settings to change, or anything of the sort. The only video/engine setting I have is to enable/disable fog, which doesnt fix it.
Are there any resolutions, or should I downgrade to 2.3? Would that give me access to these 'gfx plugins' you're talking about?

Oneplus 6 - Unresponsive Screen (Video Included)

I've had the phone since the day it came out. It took me a while to notice but the screen is definitely unresponsive at times. It is actually difficult to notice because, if you are like me and spend hours on your phone every day, if every so often if a touch doesn't register, your brain automatically make you repeat the gesture and you don't even think about it. And, it's OK if it happens like once a day. But with this phone, it's hundred times a day. I thought I was crazy so I recorded a video with my OP5.
See here: https://imgur.com/a/lZS4eVP
OK so this is kind of a very bad occurrence. Usually, it's not always like that. Sometimes it works perfectly fine. I also wonder if this could be the reason why the double tap to wake is also inconsistent, when the screen is off.
Also, yes, I do have a screen protector, but I've had them on all my phones and never had an issue.
Looks like this is happening only with you, is this problem occurring only in specific apps? or globally..
The touch here works snappy and very responsive. Maybe a faulty device? report to service center, I guess.
I also noted unresponsive screen once in a while while trying to click some hyperlinks or items with small clickable icons. But it's not anywhere close to what your video showed. Best and fair thing to do would be: Fresh flash the stock rom, don't install any additional apps then see if the problem persists. If it does, time to call customer service for a replacement unit. Good luck!
I've had similiar issues with my Essential PH-1, turns out it was a defect in the digitizer and I was RMA'd on it.
Nope working great here.
Do I get a new phone if I rma it? Or refurbished?
No I get this sometimes as well. Not nearly as bad as shown in your video, but sometimes it just doesn't register the touch properly and you have to touch it harder for it to register. Or when scrolling it only registers the scrolling partially
i have same problem in the same position
It happens to me sometimes when I tap the screen (for example tapping on a contact in whatsapp) that the screen doensn't respond good. When I tap a few times more and with a little more pressure it's going well. (I didn't test without the factory applyed screen protector)
Do people who have this problem use gestures? For me, the problem also occurs (no reaction when I tap the hyperlink or a small icon) but I noticed that it only occurs when the gestures are on. Maybe there is a problem.

Multi touch issue on pubg

Does anyone has multi touch issue when playing pubg? Mine has a weird joystick bounce and it happens randomly, basically my character would stopped walking and I had to touching the screen and drag the joystick one or multiple of times in order to fix it. Again it happens randomly...
Hi everyone,
My Pixel 2 has a weird multi touch issue while playing PUBG, I am curious if anyone of you plays PUBG has the same issue like me..?Basically I have had issue when especially there're enemies around or team mate dies. The walking joystick would bounce back to centre while I'm walking manually, it is very very annoying especially in situation like this. Every time it happens, I have to re-push the walking joystick to start walking again, then it could happen multiple of times within the second. I've tested on my S7 Edge, iPad mini 2 and there's no such weird issue... I assume it has to be my Pixel 2, the device itself is smooth and runs great but no good for PUBG game
​
This has to be one of the rarest issue that it will not get it fixed anytime soon, I am hoping someone with same issue to talk with... Thanks for reading!
I have this same issue with my Pixel 2. No fixes.
