Has anyone had this happen? I've noticed when using the spen that it was not responding to a part of my screen. I went into sketch (see attachment) and you can see the part that is not as responsive. I say "less" responsive cause if I push down harder with the spen it will respond better. Any ideas????? I don't want to have to return it as I have it rooted and all set up now. I've noticed this about a day or so ago.
Edit: with my finger it works perfectly.

This happened to me. It was on the left side If the screen. It would just skip over that part of the screen. Although a factory reset didn't help. I have since rooted and I don't have the issue anymore.

Hopefully someone knows why or what causes it. Weird that it is only with the spen that doesn't work and not my finger. Did yours work with your finger as well and just not the spen

I'm using a CellTO leather case that has a magnetic flap. This section that was not responding to spen was where the magnetic field was. Dang!!! I actually like this case too. I don't want to keep using it incase it has any prolonged repercussions from the magnets :/

It definitely seemed to me like it had something to do with a magnetic field. But I don't have the same case you have I'm using rubber. I wonder if it had anything to do with me using a metal object to take out my sim. Because it was in the sim card area on my screen.

Need help from other S5 Users:
I own my S5 since last friday and the gap between the screen and the top frame seems to be a little wide. I would like to know from other S5 Users: Is your top gap also gathering so much dust in those few days since release?
Some Note 3's also suffer from this, and people got it replaced due to defect or just lived with it, my Note 3 didn't have it. But I have seen some with very big gaps. Manufacturing error It seems.
I had that on the s4 and now on the s5 but it's not noticeable ,

I got a replacement from my provider. The gap seems to be less wide.
But in general: My Speaker is eating fluffs from my jeansbag.. I am not really excited about the S5 in comparison to the S3.

There are strong adhesive between screen and frame.The gap get so much dust due to the adhesive. It is not normal to appear such gap. You'd better change a new one from the Samsung store.
Hello folks,
February 29, 2016 I received my T-Mobile S7 Edge, and it was bliss, but I always though the touch was very odd. I couldn't put my finger on it. Then today while scrolling through the web, I noticed I kept touching things I didn't mean to. I though, it's just the edge screen and I need a case to help mitigate this. Put the phone down on my wooden table and continued to scroll and it kept happening.
After downloading a touchscreen tester app, I noticed that I can make the phone react without actually touching the screen. Like 0.5 mm to 1 mm away from the screen. It's especially noticeable when I'm scrolling and slowly lift my finger, it continues to scroll.
Do I have a defective unit? Or is this something I need to adjust?
I've already tried the TSP Update and it succeeded, but nothing changed. It's still reacts the same.
Appreciate any assistance on this.

Did you try using a touchscreen tester app? Moving your finger up the app then slowly lifting your finger to see if it still draws the line?

And nothing? Damn, I was hoping (no offense) it wasn't just me. I guess I'll have to call T-Mobile and get a replacement phone. Hopefully it's not a refurbished one (though I highly doubt it will be).

Yea that's a weird issue. Ik on past phones there was like a glove mode to increase the sensitivity. I'm not sure if s7 has it but if it does maybe it's worth looking into if it got toggled somehow

Unfortunately I don't think that's the case here.
I am wondering if it's the same issues that happened with the S6!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/touchscreen-s6-sensitive-t3073953
Perhaps it affects certain people's biology. I'm just pulling anything out of my hat of logic lol. I'll play with some in stores tomorrow and see if it's something that follows me around or if it's just the phone's technology.
I appreciate your insight.
Have you tried a factory reset? Always the last thing to try. You never know.
Sometimes i'm filling same thing. But most of the time it seems that I just touching egde screens without noticing it .

You think you've got issues
I wonder if it's because you are touching the sides. The edges seem a bit more sensitive on the S7 than the S6, and I notice that because of the curved back, you are touching/holding the edges more than you did on the old phone. I have to use it more to confirm if this is an issue, but I did notice it while playing with it for a few hours last night setting everything up.

I've noticed the same thing. I thought I was crazy when trying to type and getting weird letters that randomly appeared! If it's happening on multiple units then it's probably a bug not necessarily a defective phone.

He said he tried it flat in the table hence he wasn't holding it. I've noticed the same thing on mine even while using s rather bulky case.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Labs
Right! I experience it even when not holding it. I can make it happen without holding the phone and it's consistently doing it. It's overly sensitive for sure. I'm thinking about making a quick video of it but it may be difficult to see and it may be challenging to do and record at the same time.

That's what I think it is, but I can't say for sure. If it's a software but (meaning others are experiencing it) then I'll wait for a patch.

I'm willing to wait it out because T-Mobile can easily replace my phone if need be.

Are you sure you don't have any of the Motion or Gesture options activated. Or maybe even Air View?

I mean I could but I don't think that's a thing since Galaxy S6.
But if you know of where they are I would like to turn them off lol. I have slowly became accustomed to it, but it still annoys.
I plan on visiting T-Mobile and Best Buy tomorrow to see if the demo units experience this.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
Is anyone else experiencing touch screen oddities? or is it just few vs the many?
So I went to Best Buy and wasn't able to get the demo units to do the same thing my phone is doing. I showed the Samsung guy (which I'm pretty sure is on Best Buy's payroll) and he was surprised by it as well. He said his S7 wasn't doing it, but he thought maybe it was an Edge issue.
Long story short, I called T-Mobile and they're shipping me a new one.
Here's hoping the next one doesn't have this issue.
Don't have mine yet, but might be worth posting your specifications up. They post phone, color, where it was made, screen manufacturer, chip-set, etc.
In the past when there were issues like this, it helped to narrow down if it was a particular hardware combination. Also, a video would certainly help. Just my 2 cents.
Received my S7 Edge Black a couple days ago in the UK direct from Samsung online, all great apart from the Home Button feels very loose as in tapping it lifting your finger/thumb off quickly gives a loose feeling and the sound as if it is loose the same as if I shake the device you can here the button moving around slightly. My previous S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge Plus and S6 Active (I know, I was trying to find the best one and settled funnily enough with the Active!) did not have this issue. It doesn't particularly bother me but does doesn't feel particularly premium because of it and I was just wondering how widespread this this?
Definately sound like a fault. Mine is nice and stiff.

It's not a problem..
Hey,
The Home button will have play in it since its raised and actually depresses into the phone. Other brand have had the same type of button but had the button sunken into the display and was round and convave, so you wouldn't feel it, but most still did wiggle. I have the regular Sammy s7 and the home button moves in the slightest on the left side if I make it move.
I've tried roughly 4-5 stores in the montreal area and every single one did it regardless if it was the regular model or edge. So I wouldn't be concerned about it. If you look at the home button's diagram online, you'll see that the Button's flex cable is to the right side of the button creating less space tolerence. So since there's isn't anything on the left of the button, you'll notice that there is less resistance creating slight movement.
Some phones will have it more than others but you can count on all samsung s7's to eventually have some kind of play/wiggle on the left side of the button. So In my opinion, I wouldn't exchange the phone for this type of issue unless the button didn't register being pressed properly. For example, the s6 was indeed manufactured differently and felt loose when lightly touched or tapped on. So it wouldn't always register presses properly. But thats not the case here and I wouldn't worry about it.
Hope that helps!
I have owned my S7 Edge for a couple of months. But still cannot get used to the sensitivity of the screen edges. I can't hold the phone or use it without the folds of my hands touching the edge of screen and causing unwanted screen presses and activations. I find it almost impossible to use this device in one hand due to this.......
I was hoping that there might be a way to reduce or turnoff the screen edges sensitivity...... Does anyone have any suggestions.
And before anyone suggested a case, I don't want to use a case as that defeats the look of this phone IMHO.
Stock and UN rooted dual SIM.
