Touch Sensitivity issue advice - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi its been a few days and my touch sensitivity has gone abit funny, more on the lower left side of screen. I.e. if i scroll up or down on the browser, links get pressed. P.s. i have the same screen protector on since and before the issue.
I read somewhere that if in dialer you type *#2663# and update
TSP firmware, it may fix the problem. I wanted to know if this method would trip knox? Also besides this are there any other methods?
Thanks

I've used this method and it doesn't trip Knox. It improved my touch responsiveness some. Think it brings those touchscreen drivers/firmware in line with your OS firmware. Also try cleaning your screen well. I find a little dust on the "edge" part of the screen causes issues. All else fails try a different firmware.

What phone did you try it on? Was it a S7/S7E? Thanks

S7 Edge. But I noticed now on 7.0 beta you can't access the menu anymore. On MM 6.0 I could.

I gave it a shot. I think its made the problem worser. Getting delays upon touches. Any way to revert back the firmware?

Maybe they installing a full stock rom is your next step. Don't think there is an undo for that. What firmware and country are you using?

I have same problem but not always, just sometimes, also if I reboot the phone but it resolves himself, randomly.

Keyboard Update

I have just installed a Samsung Keyboard update from the playstore & now when I turn the screen via the on/off button the screen flash really brightly as it come on - Like a white flash light..
Anyone else having this happen?
Same happens to me, but it was already before the keyboard update. Don't know what causes it.

It's a software hiccup and the keyboard update has nothing to do with it. It's present in the device out of the box. It will probably be fixed in the next OTA.

Reading mod

Apperantly reading mode only works on play books…
I applied it to xda, instagram and even the stock browser… but it is still not working!
Is there an xposed model or something to optimize it for all apps?? ?

Silly question, did you actually turn it on? Because I've had people miss that toggle. Just asking. Since it should work with stock browser.
As for Xposed, not to my knowledge.
But as far as I know, all reading mode does is change the screen hue to a less white colour. You can use LUX for that, too.

[Q] Pen works but phone does not recognize it

N9005
My pen works on other devices but does not work on mine.
My phone alerts me when I pull the pen out but does not show up when I try using it on my screen.
The indicator doesn't show up either
This happened a just recently I have the latest firmware. The phone is not rooted.
@Bat159 what happens when you touch the screen with it?

You might have done something with your rom I guess.

Did you try and change the "tip" of your s-pen?

Edge Screen Issue

Is anybody finding it very easy to accidently catch skin on the edge of the screen and this interact with the device? I never had this issue with the S6 Edge but I'm finding sometimes whilst I'm typing or selecting things the phone will lag because it's detecting a second touch from my hand where I'm holding it.
I thought maybe this could be software related as surely something will be built in to cut out accidental touches?

I guess you need that separation from Palm to screen.

Random restarts

Don't know if it is just my handset that is doing it or not but every now and again it will do a random restart with no warning?
Anyone else having this issue.

Same issue with mine as well as the camera failure bug. Sure it's issues Samsung are working on.

You should be able to have it replaced. If it keeps doing it and you haven't done anything to your phone like the idiot above *cough*brava27*cough* who rooted and installed xposed then it's likely a hardware problem. In Brava27's case it is software and/or user error.
