Disable accidental edge touch protection - OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers

Does anyone know how to disable the accidental edge touch detection feature? I don't accidentally touch the edges due to using a case, and when using the edges to scroll the phone feels "laggy" due to thinking I'm accidentally touching the edge and not responding straight away.
There's a setting on Samsung phones for this, but not on here. Maybe ADB or something?
Thanks everyone.

Thanks but I want to remove the accidental edge detection, in other words I want my edges to be fully functional and respond straight away.

Touch Screen Responsiveness

Has anyone noticed with the galaxy note 10.1 that the touchscreen doesnt always respond? Seems to happen when I click the home screen icon every now and then.
This could also be partially my fault because I dont have a screen protector yet and have been over the top washing my hands before touching the screen.

This usually happens if you have the pen out near the screen and then you use your fingers to touch the screen , the reason for this is that the Note disables touch input so that you can rest your palm on the screen while writing.
If it happens outside of the above scenario, then you may have a faulty touch panel.
It does happen when the pen is still in the dock.
Damn damn, have to pay to ship the item back to B&H.
Will play around some more tonight and confirm that it is a problem.

My touch screen went completely dead on me today. It would work find until the screen timed out or was turned off. After that the touch screen would not respond to anything, finger or pen. I am on stock not rooted with encryption enabled for exchange.
Played around with it some more and paid more attention. Seems to happen with task manager when i have to hit the small cross to close apps.

Touching edges by mistake

I heard that the s6 edge has some feature to prevent the year from accidentally hitting the edges. Is there some sort of feature for this on the regular s6?

er what?

My S7 touch screen sensitivity.

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.

Screen Guards which allow fingerprint scanning and SPen pressure sensitivity

https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0848QZ355/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_QiPrEbJNMXEYV
Used this screen guard on my Note 10 Lite. After application and ensuring no bubble anywhere near the finger print scanner switched it in.
At the first shot it did not read the prints. However after deleting the stored prints and registering them once again they worked well.
A little extra pressure was required for a good read.
Pressure sensitivity for the SPen was also Ok
Only issue is that it's not an edge to edge screen guard. However I'm ok with it as does not snag onto the edges of the case when taking the phone out for cleaning.
Any case you have ordered for it

Can you write all the way to the edge of the screen? I saw one report that with Samsung Notes app this wasn't possible.

No a small bit gets left out. However while naturally writing it's not noticible but while sketching sometimes there is a drop off as you reach the edge of the screen guard..
I use this one : perfect, no difference with or without !

My *DBT Version does not contain a cover.

I use this one, works even better than with the Samsung preinstalled.

I second that it's not possible. Any reasoning behind this?

Question Cover Screen opens accidentally in pocket

Hello Developers
I recently bought Z flip 3... nice phone... just have a challenge and need your advices here.
With the always on display on, and double tap activated .... the cover screen gets triggered randomly in my pocket whatever trousers I am wearing... seems its touch sensitivity is high...
How can I avoid this?
Note: the only way i found to avoid that is by disabling the double tap option to open screen and always on... but this is not the best option I want, as it makes the cover screen only opens with the on/off button
Thanks,
Gano

Get a holster? That's really the only option for it without replacing the functionality and being able to increase the required pressure.

Thanks for feedback. I have a cover already but not covering the cover screen. the only way i do right now is to put it in my pocket where the cover screen is facing the outside to avoid the random touches... i dont think this is the best way of protection but no other way so far.
The thing is, the cover screen doersnt have approximaty sensor by design, you can also see that the brightness is configured manually based on that... that's why I think the feature (Accidental touch protection) doesnt help with the cover screen.

It's the light sensor that's missing, but that is why there isn't an automatic brightness. It makes some sense, since you wouldn't want the light sensor that controls the screen on the outside. It would think it's dark every time it was on a table. That's not to say separate sensor would have been such a bad idea.
That's why you would want to increase the pressure. That would, at least, filter out some of the touches.
