Hello,
I've just bought a Samsung Galaxy A8 2018, I have a problem with the touch screen
Some times I need to click an icon 4 times to open the application, other times with a newsfeed like Facebook for example everything I touch opens in an unpleasant way
I do not understand why the screen may be over-sensitive and sub-sensitive in the same time!
Is it just a matter of habit? Or the phone has a fault or it has a bad configurations?
changing pointer speed doesn't change any thing
Someone had the same problem? Thanks for your help
Did you use a screen protect ?
I have the same problem. Sometimes i must click 3 or 4 times over the screen to open an app or over the numbers.
I did nothing and the problem is resolved, was it a kind of software problem? I don't know ...

no, I don't use it
My A5 and A8 both do this (neither have protectors), must be a Samsung feature

Hi,
I have the Galaxy Tab 7.7 wifi-only version (P6810) running ICS and when I read my manga in bed (using Mangawatcher)
the screen sometimes goes black for a few seconds and then comes back.
I also use gesturecontrol for fullscreen reading and a screen dimming app called "screen filter".
So maybe it is the screen dimming app that causes it? Has anyone else had a similar problem or a solution?
It just started doing this a few weeks ago. It is not a big deal but maybe someone has a solution?
Thanks in advance
Uh unheard of, I use Voodoo display filter and komik and no screen issues, only issue I have is display filter gets restarted by android after some hours.. might be a restart of screen filter, have you tried using one at a time, to isolate wich app might do this ?
Get a catlog app to se what android is doing behind the scenes..

Thanks for answering :highfive:
I will try to find the one app that is causing it by using one at a time and see if I find out more. It just seems a bit strange since it didn't happen before. Thanks
Does anyone noticing that the touchscreen on the S6 is very sensitive. The screen registers my touches even when my finger is not physically touching the glass. I like highly sensitive touchscreen but it can be annoying especially when I am scrolling webpages.

I might be wrong, but I think since the S4 or Note 3, the phone has had the ability to detect when a finger was hovering over a particular spot. Though that is probably incorect because I only vaguely remember reading something about that 2 years ago when Samsung started introducing crazy features like scrolling based off of tilt and such.

Yeah I remember this feature on previous Samsung phones, but there is nothing in the settings that indicates that there is such feature on the S6.
Screens don't even work with the note stylist.
I agree, it is SUPER sensitive. For me, this is a plus, because I tend to be too fast for most touch screens, and the extra sensitivity keeps the S6 on par with my quick hands. I actually love everything about this phone, and I am very picky.

But, does your device have accedental touches when swiping quickly a webpage or an app?

I don't have mine till later today, but, on the S5, there are two settings that may be affecting the issue you are having. Can you still search the settings on the S6? Look for "Air View" (main culprit) and "Touch Sensitivity".

No, my device doesn't have accidental touches, but my fingers do. lol
The device can't make me accidentally do it, it's not a fault of the phone

Both of those seen to have been removed as user options.

I would like to see the touch response time of this device's screen measured. It's seems very responsive .
Yes it does and it's really annoying. To replicate the issue, scroll down a web slowly and then lift a very little like 0.5-1mm of your finger while you scroll it up. So scroll down and then lift a bit and scroll up without touching the screen. When you do this fast enough, the page will scroll up following your finger movement without touching the screen at all. Weird.
The Air View feature was removed on the S6, it was present on the S5 and Note variants. Same thing with the Screen Sensitivity toggle from the S5, Samsung just opted to make the screen more sensitive by default.
i have an S5 and S6 so I was able to compare.
I used the S5 for about a week and the touch screen was great
once I got the S6 I noticed i keep accidently hitting back/window button . upon tinkering and testing I realized the screen is super sensitive. If you take both the S5 and S6 (one in each hand) and lay them face down on your lap together, the S6 will hit buttons (and thus vibrate), the S5 wont
Hello,
For touch screen problem try this:
-in dialer type *#2663#
-TSP firmware update (general)
You should see "PASS"
That have solve my touch screen problem...

Have that as well on my 1st S6 Vodafone EU 32gb.
Returned it for other reasons and will receive new one next week....
My touch screen was not sensitive at all, very unresponsive
I can verify that this indeed works:

I tried a reset, a full system restore, I tried safe mode, I tired uninstalling all apps, I tried screen tests and can verify for me, that this above solution was the only thing that fixed my problem.
Screen is working wonderfully now
Fix doesn't work for me?

I tried this and got an error message that this feature is not available on my service. I'm on US Cellular, I don't know if that matters or not. I saw this fix posted on another site and it seemed to work for a few people who were having the same issues that I'm experiencing. I'm not very technically savvy...do you actually dial/call this number sequence? How do I choose or command "TSP firmware update"? Thanks.
Some games are impossible to play because the screen is so sensitive it counts a touch as a swipe and some apps read as two touches. This happens consistently, not just here and there.

Not sure if it's just the way I'm holding the phone, but I frequently find myself turning on a timer, only to realise that I've paused/cancelled it like 2 secs after. Great when you put something in the oven and forget lol.
Hi guys, apologies if this has already been discussed elsewhere. I've been using the Mate 9 for a couple of days now and I've noticed the touch screen sensitivity can sometimes be unresponsive. There has been a number of times where I've been on a browser or app and had to click on a link/button at least twice before it responds. It's the same when I click on the Settings button at the top of the notification panel and other areas such as the settings page.
I thought it was just me but I've gone back to my Nexus 6P and iPhone 6s to test, and there is a notable difference.
Has anyone else experienced this? It almost seems like Huawei have intentionally done this as the touch sensitivity elsewhere, i.e. lock screen, seems to work just fine.
Does anyone know if this a known issue and is it likely to be fixed?
Thanks in advance.
Same issue here I believe it has been fixed with a firmware update which has yet to land on my UK model
I sometimes experience some unresponsiveness as well, but told myself maybe it's due to the screen protector? Curious to see if others who took off their screen protector experience this same problem.
It's very minor though, for me.
I know the update was supposed to help and did but I just found a pressure sensitivity setting that allowed me to change the sensitivity which made a big difference IMO. I installed Quick Shortcut Maker and found it under settings. Made the shortcut and pressed it and voila I could decrease the pressure needed to respond.

Are you rooted? Because it tells me that access is denied.

No. Stock. I never saw anything similar to that. Installed app. Added shortcut to Pressure Sensitivity and then opened shortcut and moved slider all the way to the left to decrease pressure required.

Maybe it's the firmware I'm on MHA-L29C432B158
Yes it does exist AFTER removing screen protector.
Mine is too the point I may return it even thou I think it has a better camera than Samsung and LG
Recently I bought the motorola one vision that by the way I left it today in the warranty and on Saturday they will give me a new one, I changed it because I was having problems with the tactile sensitivity.
I come from a xiaomi mi a2 and I am used to writing very fast, in the motorola one vision when writing fast or normal sometimes certain letters when touching them did nothing like they do not recognize the touch.
This happens to me with a tempered glass screen protector or without it and when charging this is worse, and also if for example I put the phone on a surface the sensitivity drops to the maximum.
If you google it you will see a lot of reports of this issue in lenovo forums
do you have this touch issue too?
Yes, I have problems with the touchscreen sensitivity, because of this I removed the protective screen of the display which did not stick well because of the curvature of the screen. Now I use the phone without a foil screen protector and the touch is better . I read in this forum there are more people complained this matter . Also I can tell this is not Gorilla glas this is some glass equivalent to Gorilla glass 3 .
90% have this problem , is hardware issue . A10 solved it a little but still have it
I have this problem and it drives me crazy. I am still stuck on A9 so hoping A10 does indeed improve it a little. The worst is when the phone is sitting flat on my desk - it is almost impossible to use.
No touch issues here. XT1970-3 with tempered glass. Don't know about in games as I don't play.
I also had problems using the device with film, I researched a lot on the Internet about it and it seems to be a problem with the device. But with two simple configurations I managed to get around the problem and the device is very usable at the moment. 1 - Go to settings - System - Languages and input - click advanced - find the option Pointer speed - Slide the bar all the way to the right and click Ok. Restart the device. 2 - Open again Settings - Sound - Scroll the screen down - Click on advanced - Find the option "Vibrate when touching the screen" and disable it.
I hope I helped, with these two settings I managed to get around the problem on my device. It still has some gagging but the touch response is much better.
Sorry my bad english.

This is not a quite well solution because increasing sensitivity of touches from settings will cause false-positive clicks, touches , whatever which are undesirable in a daily use of phone .

I made this configuration on my device and had no problem with false positives. And with the update to Android 10 the touch has improved more. I noticed that by activating the "vibrate when touching the screen" setting again, the device again fails to touch when typing.

I'm sure you're right about this but I'm sure you have a screen protector . I don't . So in my case your solution isn't quite well .
Help us to find a solution
Hello, I have the same problem but I found something that help...
My problem increase when is on a surface, but if you plug only the cable type C the problem is fix...
If you do it, just plug the cable to the phone and the other part leave it alone
I think the port or something internal there isn't connected to ground... Maybe someone with better knowledge in electronics can help.
Test it and tell me if works you
Bought one for my wife and updated to Android 10. I can confirm the issue still exists touch sensitivity is not very accurate . It's ok could be better but not a deal breaker. Motorola should do something z then again all hardware is made by samsung..... This model it's not produced anymore , I wonder why....
I flashed my P905 with Android 10 (17.1) . All things are running well. Phantastic work of the developers, many thanks. I only have a problem with the displayrotation. For example, if facebook is running and facebook change the display from horizontal to vertical, for example when i share something, the display will not come back to horizontal. It has nothing to do with the switch for displaychanging. Only a new start is helpfull. Also when i shake the Tablet, nothing happens with the display.
I think, it is a softwarebug. Can somebody say something for that problem?
Best regards
Roger

Well... I have Android 9 (16.0) here and display rotation is also buged. For me, when It crash and still in a position, I need to disable autorotation in system configs with the tablet in inverse position. So the screen goes to the correct position and I can turn on autorotation again.
