Okay, so I am having issues with my power button, mainly because when I go to put my phone to sleep or wake up, it very oftenly pushes the button twice, thus I sometimes have to push it several times to get it to turn the screen off or on.
My question thus being (the reason I put this in the developer forum) is there a way to fix it via putting a delay on how often the button recognizes being pushed?
Pretty much putting a 100ms delay on each press so it can't wake up and put it self back to sleep in a split second.
And if this IS possible, is it possible without needing a custom ROM? or could I put in a fix via temp-root and push it through with ADB?
Man I thought I was the only one with this problem, thank god im not it wasnt a biggie, but it starts to get annoying after a while :/

Yeah, it seems like it would be an easy software fix. But no1 has address the issue that I've seen D:
sometimes i have problem also, issue cant be replicated but it happens....
I don't know. I just pushed my power button several times in a row and I don't see a problem. Never had since day one. Could be the way you're holding it. The button is kinda back a little compared to other devices.

Thats the crazy part, when you realize it happens, you try to replicate it and it works flawlessly, but if you happen to be just using the phone and you click the button it sometimes skips randomly.

I can actually replicate it, mine must be really sensitive. And yes, I have tried holding it many ways. I see it most often when its on my desk and I'm using it tho. but its not uncommon at all for me.
It wouldn't bother me if it wasn't all the time, but its pretty much every other time for me :[
Never had the problem until few days ago, and it's starting to happen quite often now. I'm a little bit worry being a hardware problem rather than a software problem.
Well? Whatever problem, just remember, you have 1yr warranty

I think it wouldn't be so much of a problem if we had trackpad wake embedded already, but if ur using visionary isn't there some trackpad wake/or maybe trackball wake for the nexus that will work?

Well I am sure its a hardware problem that can be fixed with software. If the hardware is sending multiple presses then software can compensate and tell it to only actually register lock presses once every few milliseconds.
My question is it possible to do it with a minor tweak to the code?
TMo already has a replacement in the mail for me because of this exact reason...The guy said I was the only person who said something like this was happening. Guess he was wrong, seeing other people with this issue makes me happy.

Yeah, I did the same thing. However, if my new one can't overclock to 1.42ghz at least, I will probably ask for another one
I want my G2 more future proof.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Too bad no1 knows if this can be fixed in software.
I believe this issue is with people who did the temp root and OC'ed it to 1.42ghz. I noticed when I press power to unlock the screen, the screen will not light up right away, than it does for a faint second and shuts back off. I have to press the power button again and the unlock screen shows up. I hope this does not cause any other issues with the phone. Otherwise ill have to leave it at the stock speed.
I have had this issue since I got the phone, so it's not anything to do with overclocking.
Hi,
I've got some weird problems with my N1. I searched around but couldn't find the solution.
I've tried CM7 stable 7.0.3 and Nighties 87 builds, and this problem happens to both.
1. When I'm running an app, such as "plants vs zombies", or typing with keyboard, when I touch a spot, it thinks I touch another spot. For example, when I touch key "D", it may give me a "space". When I try to place a plant on the left side, it puts it on the right side.
2. When I'm watching videos with MoboPlayer, the screen is locked sometimes (maybe this is a setting that I don't know, how do I turn this feature off?). When I press the "menu" button, it was supposed to unlock the screen, but it actually unlocks and locks back and forth continuely, and the phone keeps vibrating.
All the problems will be gone if I just lock the phone and unlock again. However, it will come back after a while.
Please help and thank you very much!

Yep, always been a problem with the Nexus One and often on capacitive touchscreens when plugged into a charger. You've stated the known workaround.

Just turn off the screen then back on, it clears this bug and only takes a second.
All nexus ones have this issue.
I traveled from Singapore to the States for about 2 weeks in May and I suddenly had this issue too. I never had it for the 16 months I owned it back here in Singapore. And when I got back after my 2 weeks trip, the problem never occurred at all again.
I'm guessing that it has to do with either the temperature or humidity levels.

I agree with you. I think it has to do with humidity specifically because it happens only when I just left from the bathroom (taking a shower) and there is a vapor, then the touch gets crazy!

Iv'e only had it a few times in about 16 months. But, it's very dry here in Vegas wih very low humidity!
I've had this issue from day one with the nexus one. For me atleast it triggers everytime I have the phone plugged in and I'm using the phone at a 90 degree angle, like sideways in bed, very strange.

I have similar problems as mentioned irregularly, but sometimes switching the screen off and on doesn't fix it at all. It's not very humid where I live (except when it's raining). Has anyone else considered replacing the digitizer (the touchscreen panel) of the phone, and if this would fix the problem?

I sent my N1 back to HTC for warranty repair because of this issue. They did something and sent it back saying all good now. The issue occurs less frequently now but it is there.
I suspect there is something in the trackball area that generates EMF of certain qualities (frequency?) and it interferes with the screen circuitry due to poor shielding and close proximiy.

this is definitely a design flaw of N1, the touchscreen controller chip just SUCKS
I recently got the Verizon lg g4 and applied a tempered glass screen protector right out of the box. A lot of the time when I am just browsing reddit or xda my swipes register as taps and result in unintended and undesired actions. This is becoming super annoying and is definitely spoiling my impressions of the phone. Does anybody else face similar behavior? How do you deal with it? Do you think the glass screen protector has something to do with it? Thanks
Same issue with no protector... Browsing 9gag is a chore when swipes becomes taps
Same without a screen protector. Doesn't happen often enough to be an issue, but it's certainly happening.
Same here.

I have had this too whilst swiping through nova drawer
I have a VZW G4, which is notorious with being late for updates. I wonder if those other carriers that forced updates may be the culprit here. I have no tap, touch, swipe, etc issues. And if that's not the issue, maybe the first batches that came out have defects.

I've had this since I got the phone more than a week ago, disabled Smart settings and dual screen but it still registers taps when I'm scrolling and is annoying. I've adapted my scrolling techniques and although it's not 100% perfect it's way better. After coming from a nexus 5 though, it's a disappointment. Hopefully an update will cure things as I think the screen is too sensitive
i've also been facing this issue "swipe register as tap" on notifciation, status bar, app drawer on stock launcher and Nova, with or without scratch guard.
I don't see how some people are not noticing this.. My past phones include N6, S6, G2, G3, S5, even as far back as the S4 I have never really experienced this kind of touch screen issue.. I guess the worst part is its very sporadic.. I can't reproduce it consistently but it is a problem. I have no issues trying to get a replacement device but not if its going to act the same.. I really hope LG admits there is an issue an addressees it in an update. I still have my G2 and I use the same swiping "technique" with no issues on that phone..

Can someone on tmobile or another Cartier who recently got an update chime in if the update fixed some of your Touchscreen issues?
For me, this happens if I swipe very softly. It seems like my G4 is just less sensitive to swipes compared to my old S3.
But I will admit, it is kind of annoying when I inadvertently swipe too softly and click on a link/ad/post/etc.

I have the latest update and it does it on my T-Mobile g4. With or without a protector. It didn't do it before the update though.
I'm on AT&T. I exchanged it yesterday because the issue was absolutely maddening. I tried every fix I saw in these and other forums. Nothing worked. So far I have had no issues with the replacement.

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.

I am wondering if it's the same issues that happened with the S6!

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 .

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.

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.

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.
The strange issue is when I'm not holding the phone (in it's cradle or sitting on my desk), the touch screen is almost dead. It takes 5-6 touches or a long press to register the touch. The strange part is when I hold the phone in my hand the sensitivity is normal (not all that sensitive but at least you can use it).
I do notice when it's out of my hands that if I touch the screen and hold anywhere with one finger and use another, It responds like normal. This makes it unbearable in the car.
I've tried the the pointer speed increase and the TSP firmware update also. But no luck.
I'm running the latest G935U rom PI3.
I've searched a lot and can't find anyone else with this same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just tried it on my S7 Edge and touch works well.
There's a sensor called "grip sensor/detector" in our devices. It knows when You hold Your phone and when You don't. Maybe some app on Your phone is using it and somehow messes up Your screen?
If it gets too annoying then take it back to Samsung and show them the issue. They should fix it.

Thanks for your response. That makes sense. I can't seem to find anyway to turn it off or at least modify the settings.
The only apps are the ones that come with the "U" firmware.
This might sound stupid, and if it doesn't apply to you I apologise.
But are you using a screen protector? Maybe this is inhibiting the sensitivity?
Just an idea

I have the exact opposite problem. My screen is so sensitive that every time I pick up my phone an app on the edge of the screen opens. While holding the phone, if my palm just barely touch the screen, apps will open. I've had this phone since the first day it was released and had planned to buy a Note 7 because of my overly sensitive screen. I really like this phone, best I have ever owned but I'm really getting tired of this screen issue.

Have you tried "Pointer Speed Decrease" or the TSP firmware update. Also, have you tried one of those glass screen protectors?

I think I remember trying that TSP thing a few months ago. I believe it doesn't work with the Verizon S7's. Changing pointer speed doesn't help. I do have a plastic film screen protector. It's hard to find a reliable glass protector which I prefer. Thanks for the suggestions anyway.
