Hello. So i made the switch to the S10e and i've been running into this issue where if i accidentally hold my phone with my finger just touching the selfie camera (or any part of the status/notification bar at the top of the screen), any and all other touch inputs just get disabled.
Any solutions to this? I assume Android thinks i'm going to pull it down and disables every other touch or something, but is there an option not to do that but still keep the draggable status bar? This also happens in all apps and the home screen/apps etc. no matter the screen.
Activating Show Taps in developer shows that the OS DOES see both my taps, the status bar and anything else, just that the software-side blocks other inputs once that initial status bar touch is seen and still active. It does NOT happen with the back/home/apps bar or generally anywhere else. I have tried making sure Nova launcher isn't doing anything. Tried Accidental touch protection On and Off and a host of other settings. Confirmed this is a status bar issue with hiding it in Samsung Internet and repeating the test.
Tried EdgeTouch with NiceLock but it only really helps for the sides which aren't really my issue.
Rarely this sometimes happens with stuff on screen too in the OS itself and in apps. Usually it's with triggering a function like holding the phone with touching the left hand of the screen and accidentally 'dragging' a menu' into view a few pixels, and then that disables all other input until it's gone. But that's fine since it's very rare. It's more more often than the status/notification bar is my main issue.

Do you use a case? That's what help'd me with accidental screen touches. An "ultra slim" case was all it took for me. Hope you find what works for you.
I am really against cases, as i really want a compact fone, and there are extremely few which get launched with AMOLED nowdays. I'd rather solve this via software.

So my Asus has an option where you can lock the bottom bar so you don't accidentally open the setting menu or press back during games/movies.
I want something similar for my Note10 as when using S-note my palm sometimes sits on the bar and opens the menu which is very annoying! This isn't a palm detection issue within the S-note app it's just a general Android tablet issue.
Anyone got any ideas?
Acctually, when your s-pen is hovering on your screen, your screen is automatically locked from your hand touch
correct me if I'm wrong
Dam you're right. I guess the issue happens when I lift the pen too high and still lean on it. Might need to adjust my writing style.

You can use air view pointer as indicator is your pen too high or not..

This might sound like a stupid question but it's something that I never gave it too much thought with my previous phones as it was simply power+ down volume button and that's it but it just doesn't work with my N20U, I also tried the gesture one and it also doesn't work, what am I doing wrong and how to fix it without resetting the settings?
Volume down and the power button works perfectly on mine. You have to push and release pretty fash and it pops up. Keep in mind that you can also use the spen to take a screen shot/screen write, wave the pen in a zig zag or even use smart select if you don't want to capture the whole screen. For the palm swipe you do have to turn that on if you haven't done that already. It's under "advanced features" and then "screenshot and screen recorder. " I hope that helps and give you several options!
Oh and palm swipe is under motion and gestures.
The easiest is to download Good Lock and use NavStar to add a screen shot button to your navigation bar.
take your s-pen out and click screen write.

Wouldn't know. Not an issue for me. I also have the power button on the navigation bar and haven't accidentally turned off my phone either. Like everything, to each their own.
I just use palm swipe to take screenshots, just run the edge / base of your palm across the screen.
Yes I swipe palm from left side of screen to right side
Is the easiest

Not really the easiest way when it requires one to have a nav bar.
So simple on chinese phones but number one manufacturers still struggling.
They should think of knock knock knuckle or 3 finger swipe.

Yeah I wouldn't say it's 1%, for one making up statistics on the internet is a bit childish.
Two, one can achieve 6 different tasks from the edge of either side of the screen without torturing themselves with a cluttered ugly (in my opinion) asymmetrical nav bar.
Samsung/Android 10 gestures with One Hand Op+ means you sacrifice zero screen space while being able to back, recents, and home from any angle.
Heck. From one side of my phone I can go back (horizontal short swipe), home (diagonal down shirt swipe), and recents (diagonal up short) from both sides of the device. I can jump to my last app with a horizontal long swipe, and that still leaves me two more gestures to customize. Four of you count both sides of the screen.
How does this benefit op, well they can use one hand op to assign screen shots to a long gesture. I mean who is rebooting and screenshotting that much that they need a dedicated button at the bottom of the screen. Nevermind literally having a power button in the notification pull down, seems like a pretty inefficient use of space on such a gorgeous screen.

You are right, it's definitely less than 1% of phone users that turn off the nav bar. I shouldn't have rounded up.
There are tons of options for screen shots so attacking an on screen button in order to justify your preference says a lot.
The power button on the nav bar doesn't reboot. It's a software button to turn off the screen instead of hitting the hardware power button.
Hitting a button works 100% of the time. No gesture works 100% of the time.
Anyway, you clearly have a your way or no way mentality so I'm out on this conversation.
Hopefully OP finds one of many options for screen shots that works.

My gestures work every time. You can adjust the length and sensitivity to your individual liking. Again while having the whole screen for an immersive viewing experience.
No one is attacking anything. It's a permanent button for a temporary problem. But hey Android is about choice.
But I mean if someone needs to black out the screen. Seems one hand op has a gesture for that. Crazy the flexibility of Android.
Does anyone have the same issue as me? Every few minutes, the navigation buttons slightly move to a different position on the screen, which makes them off-center with the rest of the screen. This usually happens after locking and unlocking the phone. I have tried to restart the phone into the safe mode but the issue is still present there. I have even contacted Sony support.
My oled TV does this to prevent burn in. Maybe check the display settings to see if it is such a feature?
Not sure, I cant find anything like that in display settings. I have also tried to change the minimum screen dpi in the developer settings and it fixed it right after the change, but as soon as I lock and unlock the phone, the buttons are off-center again.
This is a feature. It moves them over time to avoid burn in.
Ok thanks. But if this is a feature, it's pretty annoying, as it's very visible at times. Why aren't the buttons rather changing their size a bit instead? It would be less noticeable then moving them from side to side.
Nevermind, I have disabled the dock and I can't notice it anymore ?
Guys I'm new and hope this question has an answer. Apologies in advance if it's incorrectly placed or repeated.
So i have a poco x3 pro and I want to make the navigation buttons stay there forever.
Generally they are good but some apps and games take precedence and I have to constantly slide up from the bottom to make them appear.
I I've been into settings but the main issue is I play last shelter, the game is locked to full screen.
I don't use gestures or full screen mode and the buttons are great normally but I want to basically recreate a similar feature to hide notch but at the bottom, so only the nav buttons are there, maybe with the exception of using camera or films etc.
Therefore I suspect that the screen may need to be set to smaller so that there's nothing hiding under the navigation space. I don't care for the one handed screen resize feature either.
The game being full screen has tabs at the bottom so the navigation buttons do need to disappear in order to use the game.
So in a nutshell I want to permanently have the navigation buttons at the bottom and above them is the bottom of the screen even though the actual screen is the full size of the phone.
I actually can't believe this isn't something we can choose.
I came from the s5 and the op5 and I'm old fashioned and like the home, menu and back keys. I can live with the finger reader on the power button but my one handed use of the phone has be taken away from me.
Sorry for the long post but I'm coming up short so don't know where else to go.
Also the nav buttons go light or dim at random times.
Regards, Paul
Ps. I've done plenty of rooting over the years but always find that the time used and problems afterwards aren't worth it.
I will consider going this way with my poco if it will remove bloatware and clean it up. I only want battery life and relative performance, its a 249gbp phone I understand that and its fine as it is but I want the nav keys to act like they are hardware that's it.
Ideally no root and an app would be cool.
I did install a nav key app but it just masks what's there.
Mi forum said poco x3 pro isn't their product and couldn't help. Poco global seems like a link to Facebook.
Thanks all.
Hi, as a really fast user that needs quick actions im suffering a bit from these weird touch delay after closing apps or overlays... I tried different launchers and different apps, tried safemode and tried disabling animations nothing worked, video attached for example
Your browser is not able to display this video.
I use Xposed edge pro for system gesture and it's fast AF

I'm not seeing much of any delays in your video but maybe its because it's too small on my screen. If you want to speed things up navigating between apps go into developer options and there are 3 parameters you can play with (top 3 in screen shot)
I'm having different issues after updating. I'm on a Verizon S22 Ultra, using Nova Launcher with gestures and power savings mode enabled.
I'm having an issue where, after I use the pull down gesture (swiping downward) on the home screen (for example, if I'm just trying to switch from wifi to mobile data, or trying to turn off Bluetooth, or trying to turn on location) a lot of the time I'll have a delayed and or almost immediate ghost touch input, without touching anything.
Sometimes, even if I don't touch anything and I just swipe down to bring down the pull down ui, it'll act like I used the swipe up gesture and clear the pull down ui and return me to the home screen. Other times it'll act like I pressed the home button icon (there will be a soft white glow that shows up around the home screen icon), even though I never touched the home button icon.
Other times, on the home screen, I'll use the slide down gesture. The pull down comes down, and almost immediately it'll act like I have pressed the recents button and my recent apps pops up. It's like someone else is controlling my phone, but only on the homescreen, very annoying.
This only seems to happen when I'm on my home screen and trying to use the pulldown gesture when power savings mode is enabled. Although, it did happened a couple of times in Samsung Internet Browser Beta when power savings was enabled and prior to the recovery cache clearing. Randomly, the settings ui popped up on me while trying to type in an internet address, but I never touched the hamburger menu icon in the lower right.
This doesn't seem to happen in the Samsung Internet Browser Beta anymore after performing the recovery cache clearing. When it was happening in the browser, I'd try turning off the power saver and the ghost touches seemed to stop.
On the homescreen, once the pulldown comes down, even when pulling down for a second time to fully expand the ui (sometimes almost immediately and or even after a few seconds of not touching anything), it'll either take me right back to the home screen (like I pressed the home button icon or it'll pull up the recent apps ui and I never touched anything). It is wonky.
I've tried clearing cache through the recovery method and it's still acting up when power saving mode is enabled. The only thing that seems to have caused it to stop, is turning off power saver mode.
Anyone else experiencing this issue of ghost touches with power savings enabled along with Nova Launcher's gestures (or on any other 3rd party launcher and or even the stock launcher perhaps?) on the home screen? I haven't had time to record this yet, I'll have to get some video of it, just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this or knows of a better workaround perhaps?

I use Nova with power saving mode enabled and have no issues with ghost touches. Are you using the latest version of Nova 7? How did you migrate from your old phone (backup and restore Nova settings)?
I used to have this problem with Dr. Ketan's rom but not on samsung's.
March update

That's known issue with Gestures and launchers on almost all android phones. I have that issue on Pixel too if I use Nova or other launcher

Okay, cool. I appreciate your input. I'm using Nova 7.0.57. Yeah, I loaded Nova on the phone from my old Note 20 to the S22 Ultra. Things have been fine, no ghost touches. I noticed it happening right after I downloaded and installed the April security patch.
At first I thought it was me going too fast through everything like usual and maybe I was hitting the back button or home button or just off the screen by accident and closing out of the expanded notifications ui. But, it has continued, just not in the Samsung Internet Browser Beta anymore.
Now it's only when I'm on the home screen and I try swiping down to expand notifications, then it acts all wonky and either closes by itself and or takes me to the recents ui.
I don't use nova, but have picked up phantom touches in certain apps....this is after the April update. I would open ambivision app...in the settings menu it would exit out of settings or sub menus in the app...thought it's an app bug, but sometime when swiping down the notification bar I also get phantom swipes closing the pulldown as if I swiped up....few other appa also random swipes/gestures

Yup, I thought it was just some apps that had bugs but it's happening on the pull down notifications bar and expanding the notifications too. This all happened after the April security patch update. I didn't have any of this at all prior.
I noticed it immediately after the update, I opened the Samsung internet beta browser, started browsing and had the settings ui popping up and the recents ui pop up. I thought I was just moving through things too fast and hitting buttons. Then on the notification pull downs, they started rolling back up right after I'd pull it down.
It still happens quite a bit and the only thing I've found that seems to stop the phantom touches is turning off power saving mode. Dark mode also seems to slow it down, but it doesn't always stop it. It must have something to do with being in 60hz mode instead of 120hz as power savings reduces the refresh rate to 60hz.
I also picked it up after the update. .also with the pull down of notifications etc
I also started seeing phantom touches after the Apr update - especially with Google News app. I turned off extra dim feature and now I don't get any phantom touches!
