Is it me or is the touchscreen of the S6 very sensitive?

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.
Sent from my SM-G900T using AllianceR(●)m

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,

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.

Missing screen mirroring on non rooted note 5 on sprint SOLVED!

Ok on my non rooted note 5 on sprint the instructions about going to the settings and edit and select screen mirroring don't work, as IT'S NOT there. To enable it, take a picture, go to the album, select the picture, hit share, at the bottom click screen mirroring. Way to go Samsung and Sprint. I'm pretty sure that this is either the result of the last update or Sprint.

S-pen direct input on Note 10

Hi,
when I was on Note 8 (I skipped Note 9) I used direct input for s-pen so as to be able to open the hand-writing box directly from the text box.
I didn't find the relevant item ("activate direct input") in settings in Note 10.
It's me or Samsung did remove the option?

I'm wondering the same thing. I used it a lot on my Note 8 and am a bit upset they removed it from the Note 10. Samsung always taking steps backwards is getting annoying AF! I hate the Samsung keyboard and that was how I would use my s-pen for texts, now I can't.

It's in Samsung keyboard settings. There's a radial for Pen Detection. Turn that on and tapping on any text box should bring up the text pad

Android Q Desktop Mode

Hello Community.
As any of you who did some tests know it is in early state. I am wondering is it not to popular topic? Since I have switched from Galaxy S8+ and I was using Dex OS everyday, it is the feature I miss the most.
I think that it also gives a lot of possibilities for anyone who travels a lot. It is very nice to have a "desktop" in a hotel room on which you can answer emails, or brows internet in desktop mode. All you need is only keyboard, mouse and usb-c to hdmi cable and of course your phone.
I have just tested new Desktop Mode on Android Q(OnePlus 7 Pro) and what can I say?
Not to much.
And here is my question. Does anyone know about some development which is likely in progress or maybe there is any option to port Samsung's Dex OS to other phones?
All I have found is only one guy: Daniel Blandford:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj2P0omAkek
and what he is showing looks very promising, but still it is only one guy?!?
My dream and ideal solution was razer's project project Linda
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gKu-T13vXs
which was promised to be released along with Razer Phone 2 but in the end was killed.
There is some other solution to lapdocks but for me not to ergonomic in terms of mobility.
I believe that Android as a daily OS is possible and I hope that it will go live soon.

Same here. I tried it, have Bluetooth mouse and foldable keyboard, and really liked how snappy it is! However, there's no way to adjust resolution or font size, which would be the first step toward something really usable. I would like to test the limits of any solution, whenever available.

I discussed with Daniel Blandfort and he told me he currently stopped development of his Flow Desktop because he could not raise any interest and get enought Patreons to keep going unfortunatelly...
Maybe you can use Sentio desktop on your oneplus ? I think it looks better than the current raw android 10 desktop.
Something looking really neat I found is Keydock. It's basically a keyboard-docking station to use desktop mode.
Mod edit: Link removed!
There's a website (Mod edit: Link removed!) where they try to get enought suscribers to launch Keydock on kickstarter

Sentio was a good find and worth trying. However, it didn't work for me. Also, it seems that work on Sentio stopped. Last update was someone last year.

Flow desktop looked awesome, it's a shame if development really has been discontinued.
I wonder how it would have worked, would it have been a custom rom or an app

There is new project named Nexdock. Looks very promising. It's basically a laptop without CPU, GPU. All is based on the phone connected via USB-C cable.
http://nexdock.com/touch/
Here is TK Bay testing this with OnePlus 7 T Pro McLaren
starts at 6:22
But as he mention on his video, OnePlus (Android Q) is still not ready as a full desktop mode (resize open apps, etc), it looks more like basic android desktop.

NexDock with OP 7T Pro McLaren Edition
About a week ago I received my new Nexdock Touch. Great build quality, looks similar to Macbook Air.
Only issue I have found, is a problem with connection and starting Desktop Mode. It sometimes start charge the phone instead lunching Desktop Mode. But when connected, the phone wont charge anymore.
Looks like there is a order in what to connect first, Lapdock with cable, than phone with locked screen.
What works:
+ touch screen
+ tauchpad
+ sound
+ most of the buildin OxygenOS apps
What don't work:
- dimming phone screen, to save battery
- charging the phone while connected
- some other/additional installed apps (like ES Explorer, All in one Toolbox)
- Nova Launcher on extended screen
Some of the issues can be fixed with Taskbar 6.0. This will add additional taskbar on the extedned screen, will fix the issue with dimming phone display to preserve battery.
Taskbar 6.0 with some extra features explained here.
When Camera app is open on the phone, everything slows down, phone is laggy and slow. Word and Excel seems to be in mobile mode, as all is very large on external screen.
This mode helps to improve security, as all data is on one device - mobile phone. This is handy when I'm working in the car, or I need to send email with invoice or even play PUBG
Overall, Desktop Mode is amazing experience, it shows how powerful OnePlus 7T Pro is.
Please add thumb up at OnePlus Ideas 2 for expanding Desktop Mode!

Do you have Nexdock Touch? If so, I have the same problem when connecting cable to Nexdock and than to my phone.
Desktop mode won't turn ON, only I have charging in progres with external screen connected, nothing else works.
So to solve this issue , I need to disconnect the phone by the time charging is started. Than plug the cable back. This may take a moment and few times to unplug and than plug back. Until the charging of the phone won't start, than if you leave it plugged, all start to work.
This must be an issue with Desktop Mode in development state.

This means you have OP7 Pro, right? Not the OP7T Pro
Could be an issue with development state of your Desktop Mode. Try different cable or check if your phone is compatible with connecting keyboard/touchpad through USB-C port.

I have very similar issue. First thing after connecting my NexDock Touch, phone starts to charge, than there is no way I can use keyboard, touchpad or touch screen. No any key on the keyboard works, so no dimming the screen, no volume, no caps lock. Only there is a desktop on external screen.
So I need to unplug the phone and connect it back. After few times, with locking the phone and unlocking, connecting the cable and than disconnecting, Desktop Mode starts to work with all peripheral coming with NexDock Touch.
But than, the phone wont charge anymore. So it's only charging the phone without interaction (external keyboard/touchpad/touch screen) or no charging with everything working fine.
Another issue is Night Mode - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx3ZqPJeoPs

Phone application - auto rotate mistake

Dear All,
I changed 2 days ago my Note 10 Plus to a Note 20 Ultra - Exynos version both.
In my car holder the phone is in landscape mode - and of course the phone is setted up for screen auto rotation.
At the Note 10 Plus few months ago when i opened the Samsubg's phone app the screen was in landscape mode over the calling.
At the Note 20 Ultra, when I open the Phone app, the screen is in landscape mode, but when I start a calling or I receiving a call, the screen turn back to portrait mode.
When the call end, the screen turn back into landscape mode.
On the Note 20 Ultra the version of the Phone app is: 11.5.03.20
What was the version if this app on the Note 10 Plus, I don't know, because I sold that one....
Did someone meet whit this problem or know someone what can be the solution? - Th option to change my phone holder to portrait one, not acceptable
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
doczyus

Hello Doczyus,
Phone app in general doesn't rotate (have a rotate lock despite your universal setting preference).
There has been some issue with some note 20 ultra's proximity sensors have this bug but the weird thing here is the landscope mode in phone app as i tried it myself and it doesn't happen on my device. Maybe try doing soft reset and if that doesn't work , hard reset should do the trick.

Hello Harsh9101,
Thank you the quick and detailed answer!.
So, the feature on my former Note 10 Plus was a truly mistake....
I'm a bit sad, because that was a very usefool issue. I hope one of next upgrade in the furture will contains same issue for Note 20 Ultra too...

My 10+ Snapdragon variant running on Pie will rotate into landscape for everything until the call dail button is hit. Then it rotates to portrait mode regardless of orientation.
Ending the call does not reverse this unless you hit the back arrow. Locking it into portrait mode doesn't alter this behavior of the phone once the call's in progress.
Normal behavior.
If this helps...
