Ok, so I use SwipePad and PA's pie to swipe from the left and right edges of the screen. Now randomly I can't do that anymore because for some reason the touch sensitivity just broke(?) when swiping from the left and right edges. This happened on my old Nexus too. Now I'm forced to rearrange where I have my swipe points. Has anyone else come across this problem of not being able to swipe from the edges?
Edit: Problem was related to Touch Control creating dead zones on the edges.

How did you solve the problem. I've got the same issue, but can't solve it just knowing its the TouchControl.
Thanks in advance

do anyone of you notice this bug...
1) when the phone is placed on table flat(with screen facing up), there is nothing wrong...
2) when the phone is place upside down (with screen facing down, when you have the phone on bed and over your head), then without having the stylus pen actual touches the screen, the screen senses it and leave a mark.
it even can activate any icon...
is this me only or general bug?
It effects all Notes. Its a known issue with this digitizer.
Basically touch is registered without pen actually touching the screen when you are using it laying on bed where screen is facing down. It registers from about 3-4 millimetres away.
I'm trying this right now as I post this and I can't seem to replicate the issue...

I'm having this same issue..didn't realize that it only happens when it's faced down..well,hope there'll be a fix soon.
I noticed this problem while using sidebar. After a while it would stop working and I would have to raise the sensitivity level of the sidebar.
Turning on pointer location in developer options I can see that about 3mm on each side doesn't register touch. Restarting the phone fixes it but only temporarily
Anyone else have this problem?

I dropped my phone and cracked the screen at the bottom. It's barely noticeable, but the area at the bottom where it is cracked is unresponsive to touches. This is unfortunately the most important part of the screen, and makes navigating around the phone difficult.
Is there some kind of software workaround where I can basically push up the nav bar, and have it ignore the very bottom of the phone? Or is there a better solution? Pie appears to be another option, but I have found it semi-difficult to use.
Turn the phone upside down

Haha, right.
The physical button placement makes that sub-ideal (as well as the camera). That quickfix would just replace the nav bar issue with a notification bar issue.
Install custom Rom with pie and use that.
Hello, I noticed that when typing with my right hand, I can't seem to use the keys on the left edge of the screen such as number 1 on Samsung keyboard for instance. It works some times but mostly not and when trying over and over it registers 2 out of 10 times. I'm not sure it is a sensitivity problem as with my left hand, number 1 works always. It seems that the edge of the screen works best when approached by the hand on the same side as if it works under a certain angle or so, anybody noticed this? I tried swiftkey and it is the same. Thanks
Somehow this thread got lost in the Q&A section?
Edit: Sorry, it looks like the search in the browser was not working properly.
So I went to Samsung store to test other S7 edge devices and they are all the same. The guy there mentioned that somebody else has complained about it earlier. It seems that when trying my hand slightly touches the edge and this stops the phone from recognising the touch on the other edge, weird.
I think what is happening is palm rejection by the right hand. You can resize the keyboard in settings or try Swift key

1010110101010101. Guess that's not an issue for me with the keyboard, but there have been other apps that made me wonder if my touches on the side were registering.
Anyone having issues with 2 side edges not registering any touch events?
I have Microsoft launcher and in the app drawer, when I try to tap in the alphabets, it has no response.
Left and right edge touch response isn't very good. It got a little better with one of the updates but it's far from ideal. I assume this is because of the accidental touch parameters used in an edge-to-edge display. I wish this was an adjustable setting because I'd rather deal with mis-touches than poor response.
what I've noticed is that when you slide your finger inwards from the edge and then down you get the alphabet listing. works in Nova as well
Tapping links/icons on the edges is problematic for me, too. Software fix by decreasing event trigger threshold for x,y's near edges?
interesting to see this. Almost looks like the same problem. They guy also states that sliding your finger works but tapping is not recognized.
Sideload the 8.0 beta. I no longer have any touches not being registered from using the beta for about 15 hours now.

I'm still experiencing the same on Oreo. About 7mm on each side not responding to any touch events. I might return the phone and get 5t but it cost me only$350 from amazon, so still debating.
