How do we get glove mode, it used to be available in the LG G3, but not on the Lg V20.
Afaik it's merely uping the sensitivity of the touch screen software threshold.
The screen hardware is capable of sensing touch under gloves.
This is evidenced by opening a draw app, pressing hard on the touch screen first to activate touch detection then release the extra pressure and you'll notice the touch continues to work until you completely lift the finger.

Am I the only one that seems to be having a major issue with this? It comes up more with the added on screen keyboard in 1.5, it seems.
The corners of the G1 screen do not respond to touch at all, and I find myself always having trouble hitting the keys on the corners of the virtual keyboard. Applications that require you to touch any corner of the screen with precision (ie tic-tac-toe) are annoying as well because it's difficult to get it to work.
Is there any fix in sight or is it a hardware limitation?
definitely a hardware limitation.
hardware limitation means: normal hardware limitation or limited due failure????
I only experience this problem with the right edge of my phone. The top, left, and bottom don't have any problems.
Touch also seems to be less sensitive when the phone is rested flat.
My phone has the sensitivity problem on the edges too (mostly on the right and top sides).
For example, it's almost impossible to drag an icon to the left screen, because it doesn't seem to reach the threshold area.
The protective screen (boxwave anti-glare) made the problem even worse, but since it's much more comfortable than the glass, I won't be taking it off.
The easiest way to test all this is to use the whiteboard application.
So, I ask the developers: Please don't place the buttons on the edges of the screen!
The worst apps in this regard I've seen so far were the Video player (don't remember its exact name, its seek slider was unusable), and the sudoku with the number chooser in the bottom. OpenHome's app slider has the same problem.
I have been searching for the past few hours but have found nothing on the subject...
Does anyone know how to increase the sensitivity on the Sapphire? Is there a way to disable the "heat sensing" part of the touch screen (my wife has acrylic nails and a stylus doesn't work either)
Thanks

You cannot change the capacitive screen. So no nails and stylus...You can get a Tattoo (resistive screen)
but what about the sensitivity?
is there a way to change it?
the rom i'm currently using seems to have made the onscreen keyboard less sensitive when in landscape mode.
I think I read that external power source = greater screen sensitivity, I doubt that will help you though.
I have added a screen protector today and it seems to have had a positive impact on the screen responsiveness. When playing games my screen pretty much went dead form all the finger print grease. Glasses cloth ftw.
Edit: Have you turned off vibrating keys? nice as it is it definitely made me miss key presses.
Something strange while I was using Legend. I notice that if you cover the optical touch pad at the bottom. The screen tends to be more sensitive.
A simple test will be to go into your "people" flick up and down the name list. Do it normally like you do and then try to cover the optical touchpad with 1 finger and then do it again. For me, the screen suddenly becomes more responsive, a very gentle short flick of the fingers will be enough to scroll the name. Once you remove the finger at the bottom, everything is back to "normal". The same sensitive test also works when the phone is plugged into the charger. Wonder if it's just my legend or it's the same with you guys.
Also is it true that when the battery falls to a certain level..the device will go into "power saving mode" by slowing down the processor and reduce screen sensitivity or things like that??
No difference
I tested the sensitivity thing. It's the same regardless of whether I cover the optical pad or not.
I have the SM-G901F version of the S5.
It seems as though the screen is very sensitive as I can use it with the tip of my nail or a card (like a bank card)
I have increase touch sensitivity DISABLED. I've tried enabling it and there's no change in sensitivity.
It's not a major problem as I don't wear super tight jeans or anything, I just want to know if this is normal?...
Also, I can't efficiently control it with a normal pen however (writing pen, not a stylus), only some touches get registered with the sensitivity setting enabled/disabled.
Hi,
I recently noticed that with my Galaxy S5 set to touch sensitivity mode it can sense touches from my finger even when I'm not actually touching the screen. This isn't a problem or anything, I love the option and use it all the time with gloves, but I'm just curious about how it actually works. From my limited knowledge about capacitive touchscreens it really makes no sense to detect touches when no physical connection is made, but it works in practice so I'm totally confused.
Thanks in advance!
Small electrical charge over the digitizer on the screen, your finger breaks the charge and the phone knows where, increasing the charge over the digitizer allows you to break that charge before actually touching the screen
That's how I understand it anyway, might not be 100% accurate
