When I make a call or receive one while talking I notice different apps will open, usually beginning with the world clock??? It seems to be due to touching my face to the screen. Can anyone give me suggestions?? My service provider is Sprint, last phone was a G nexus never experienced this problem with that phone.
I noticed this too. I found out (personal experience) was that it has a ton to do with having a larger screen and not giving the screen time to turn off or pressing the home key so I wouldn't hit the dialer. My solution was a quick tap of the power key to turn off the screen and no more apps popping up.

Thanks', I'll give that a try, guess this must not be a big problem, wonder if it may be an issue with our phones, not all S 4??
There is a setting in my device/call to enable Turn off screen during calls. The only trick with that is trying to access the pull down menu while in a call. You just have to make sure you avoid the proximity sensor so it doesn't turn off the screen.

I cant seem to able to press stuff before the phone decides press everything around it. I get "ghost" touches randomly and mostly when there is a notification windows pops up ie. high noise level warning for music etc. it takes me a lot of tries to actually be able to press ok or cancel. any ideas?
Check you haven't got air view or touch sensitivity enabled.

Hi,
Touch feedback or vibrate when i press on the navigation keys (back, home or app switch) sometimes stop vibrating randomly. This also happens with the keyboard (stock google keyboard) in which you can't feel any sort of vibration.
Unlocking with fingerprint also have this problem.
Again this happens on a random basis, and for the most of the times vibration works ok.
Someone else has this issue?
Running stock?

yes... full stock with 6.0.1
i´ve found more users with this issue here
I have the same problem, second device same problem..
Nexus 6p 128gb 6.0.1
Vibration keep going "weak" random, and then back to normal for a while and back to weak...
More users reporting inconsistent vibration
https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/3x45lz/nexus_6p_sometimes_unlock_without_vibration_the/
It seems a software issue and some users says it only starts to happen on 6.0.1
Seems to happen to me in the morning
when I turn on Bluetooth connectivity.
same problem for me but only in the morning
Hello,
I recently purchased an AXON 7 and really enjoy using it. After updating to android 7.0 i noticed that when i press the wake button, rather than the screen flashing on it takes a few seconds for some kind of a wake animation to play. This is especially noticeable when I use the fingerprint sensor. Does anyone know how to turn this off?
If you disable animations all together, it will disable them on wake up as well. Unfortunately, it's all or none for now.
I have a problem with my S8. After locking my phone it randomly vibrates and turns screen back on asking to unlock (enter passcode or scan fingerprint). Sometimes this happens right after locking and other times after 5 seconds when my phone is already placed on the table. When I unlock the phone there is no notification. I can't seem to find out whats causing this. This is not always (but most of the time) happening though, its really random.
Checked internet. Checked Reddit. No apps enabled in accessibility. Smart Alert disabled.
Its driving me nuts, please help out.
EDIT: When removing passcode the phone unlocks itself to the lockscreen. Just happened after 15 seconds when laying flat on the table. Should I leave my house??? haha
EDIT2: Seems like the homebutton is registering presses. When 'Unlock with homebutton' is on it go's straight to the homescreen when above happens and when its off it turns on and just shows lockscreen. Really strange..
Seems you got faulty unit, ask to return.

Don't think so because it only happens when the phone is locked. When the phone is unlocked it behaves normal..
Thanks for the suggestion though

Actually, this is a HUGE issue IMO and abnormal behavior of the phone, which is subjet to return.
You should be straightforward in your decision or get used to the issue.

I'm tryning to say that I don't think this is a hardware issue because than it would be all the time, must be software related but can't seem to find out whats causing this.

F*CK, I think I found it. I disabled AOD, with it enabled I don't seem to have this issue.. :/
S8 Unlock problem
Im having the same problem. I unlock using the pressure sensitive home button. After locking and unlocking 3 to 4 times the home button does not respond "only on the aod screen". Then suddenly it unlocks and when I lock the screen again the phone vibrates and unlocks the screen itself
Plz help me out
I'm having the same problem. Sensitivity changes randomly. Sometimes it doesn't seem to recognize presses and sometimes it recognizes them even when I'm not touching that area. All this happens when screen is locked. AOD disabled. Sensitivity to 2 (close to very sensitive)
I have the same issue .. AOD and the rest are off! Case was taken off also. What's going on !? I don't now what to do with this... ? Mayby the best option is to change it for iphone? ;((((
Having exactly the same, however samsung technician was unable to replicate it for a whole day and they sent it back to me without any repair... Swap is also not an option as samsung will test phone on their side anyway and in case it's "good" they will send back same unit.
Issue is really random and sometimes it doesn't occure for over an hour. Then it starts vibrating and waking up after touching screen in top or middle area couple of times (screen off, AOD off, no case, no screen protector), multiple vibrations after pressing "home" button or delayed vibration.
Other reports are on reddit (pm me for link) or different xda thread forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/hard-press-home-issue-t3597004/page4
Anyone able to record his issue to compare with others?
Same problem here....the hard press home button don't work sometimes and vibrate 3 or 4 time after press the button. I think is hardware problem, i have reflash the firmware with odin but no lock.

Did you send the phone to Samsung assistance? And does the same problem? [emoji21]

I went to Samsung Premium Service and left my S8 (Exynos one) for 2 working days.
Sometimes when I press home button it vibrates once or with significant delay and then when you touch screen anywhere else (top, middle, edges) it vibrates again and wakes screen up. It looks like it cannot register/release pressure sensor correctly. Since they were not able to replicate this error they decided not to touch hardware at all, therefore just reflashed it and calibrated.
I'm getting this 2 or 3 times this every 15min, but it's hard to record, because when I start recording it's already working properly... Have you managed to record your issue to compare with other users having similar symptoms?
The same problem with my phone....unfortunately i don't have any record of issue. I think is a touchscreen problem

My pressure sensitive home button has a mind of its own like it works or sometimes doesn't register as a press then sometimes when I try press harder or softer it goes mad and registers lots of presses. Sometimes it just works properly though. Should I return it quick or is it just normal if the screen has to be cleaned or something?
I have same problem, i owe factory unlocked s8 created for caucasus region. my home button makes me crazy, even now when i was writing this, just picked my s8, i pressed hard on home button, on the screen off (I've enabled always on display) and no kind of vibration, than touched back button and it vibrated. So sometimes it vibrates 3-4 times when i hard press only one time, sometimes it's giving me very late vibration, sometimes i also think that i get notification and nothing is there. yesterday it gave me two vibration, during facebook scroll. i'm a big fan of samsung but, this s8 has too many hidden problems, bugs and luggs.
isn't it possible guys that in the next software update it will be solved?
Same problem here. I think there is another thread with this issue btw?
It could very well be a widespread issue but a lot of people might not even be aware of it because not everybody's using hard press preferring other ways to unlock/wake the phone.
Same problem

Me too ,its happend just wgen the phone is locked, when i hard press home button sometimes it gave me little vibration and when relased the correct vibration or other times it gave me 4 vibration.
It could be software broblem because when the phone is unlocked doesent happend and
too many people here have this problem
U won't find out when it will miss vibration or any other bug or lugg. I'm testing and testing, even i pushing home button half an hour without resting and there were no kind of bug. I think that, than when there is no too much free ram and also when phone is hot, also U have many apps minimized and u lock the screen. And at once u push hard on home button. It will fail vibration and if you observe during screen unlock, animation will stuck. It's opening bit-by-bit. Looks like very low FPS. So this 3d touch failure makes phone work luggy.
P.S. sometimes phone is cold, with much free ram and same happens((.
Also when phone is locked for long time. When you press hard on home button on screen off (with always on display) it will miss the first pushing.
Sometimes if it fails vibration, it continues doing this for minutes, even phone restart will not solve the problem.
There is something wrong. This phone has ram managment problem, there is something strange. This device is a real rocket but it isn't well optimized.
I hope Samsung will fix this bugs in the next software update, otherwise i think i will go to iOS. Just i need smooth animations, smooth app open/close, without stucking. Without luggy, without bugs.
Whith this problems this really fantastic devise is nothing.
P.S. i'm a big fan of samsung. Have had many iphone, and thinking to return there.
Sorry for my english.
