I posted a question in regards to this on Q&A section of the forum but no one was answering my question. I went ahead and did a bit more research. I finally figured out the way to change the sensitivity.
I have seen people asking in the past about this so I decided to post it here.
Note: root is required unfortunately. You will need a root file manager in order to save the file after editing. (Es file Explorer works well for me and it's free)
First, if you are using Es file Explorer, you need to enable root explorer on the manu, then locate the file:
/system/usr/idc/max1187x_touchscreen_0.idc
Opened it as text, I chose to use Es note editor that came with the Es file Explorer
Under '# Touch Filter' you can see
'touch.filter.level = 2'
Change the number to higher to make the screen less sensitive and lower to make the screen more sensitive.
Save and restart the phone.

To clarify, this is to change how far your finger(s) have to be from the screen to be registered as a 'touch', correct? I've had an issue where my thumb would hover over a button and accidentally press it, more than a few times. If this fixes that then I guess I don't have to make a question thread of my own haha
What value did you end up settling on for sensitivity?
Dude. I thought I was going crazy. The screen is too sensitive on mine. A zillion times it would register a touch when my thumb hovered over it, sometimes a long press response. Glad to see I wasn't imagining it.

well sort of...I think it's related to how hard you need to press the screen as well, so I would call it sensitivity instead.
I had the same issue as you that's why I tried to figure out a way to make it better.
3 works fine for me, but you might want to change it to your liking. don't go nuts and set it to 10 or something. otherwise, you will have to press the screen really hard to get some a response.

Hmmm...Sorry I don't really know how to do that. I assume it's one of those parameters in that file.
It's also a good thing tho I'm thinking it's super sensitive so that a pencil could work. I use my pencil so often I thinks it's so cool and don't understand why Sony didn't advertise this pencil feature because it does work really well.

Not to me. If they want it to be a feature, at least give people an option to disable it. It really irritates me.
After playing around with the "touch.filter.level", I realised it makes NO improvement on the stylus...
My issue I have with the stylus is that when scrolling, it often registers a "lift" and "touch", thus selecting stuff inadvertently...
I need to reduce the touch area that registers a constant touch, like a scroll...
Anyone clued up with the other settings? SONY Devs?
UPDATE: I turned on GLOVE MODE in Settings-->Display and then changed touch.gloveMode.deflatePressure = 1 to 0.1. Working like a charm now.
My Z2 also has this hypersensitivity problem, it reacts without my thumb even touching the screen, just by getting close to it. This is extremely annoying.
I'm trying this to solve my problem, but the screen sensitivity doesn't change, no matter which value I put in the touch.filter.level, I tried from 0.1 to 50 and nothing changed.
Is this really a software problem? or is it a hardware problem?
Was this made on porpose by Sony? Because for me it is really annoying, the screen registers unwanted touches all the time and when i'm playing something, it also annoys me.
screen sensitivity is a Firmware issue with Xperia Z2. sony has said they are working on fixing in upcoming firmwares (it had a s at the end so this probably means that sony ment it wont ever be fixed... any time soon)
static can cause ghost touched with xperia Z2 to my experiance.
I also have the screen sensitive issue. Have tried to change some values from the file, but no effect. Finally, I've solved the issue by using a tempered glass

Hello everybody!
I like my Nexus One very much, but there's a big problem for me: the "grab around" annoyance - i.e., when you touch the very edge of the screen with your thumb, the touchscreen turns irresponsible or crazy.
Please, does anyone know some fix for this problem? Some ROM (my N1 is rooted) or app, anything? Please note that I'm not referring to the very known calibration problem, but to the very sensitive edge.
I'm just asking here because I've already searched on XDA and Google, and found no fix for this.
Thanks
And you will not find the fix for this. You sould get used with or try to be more gently with touching the edge...

I have this also....thought it was just me. The simple fix is to turn screen off and back on and it seems to act sensibly again.
Not ideal though.
There is no fix for this. I experience it too, just barely touch the edge and it goes nuts. I use a rubber case now anyway which solves the issue for me.
Thanks for the answers
Wiggz - the problem you must be referring is the calibration, that fixes going to sleep mode. The problem I talk about is the sensitive edge of the touchscreen, what Google doesn't even consider a bug - only in their heads...
I fixed this by using a silicone case - the phone gets veeery ugly, but that's a fix...
What could resolve this excluding a silicone case?
thanks
Off topic but the thread title makes it sound like you're getting hassled by gay guys. Just saying!
That's reach-around lmao
I've learned to hold the phone differently... haven't had this "problem" since the first month the phone came out.
Oh, and I've never used a case, probably never will either - this phone is way to slick to ruin with a case IMO.

I don't really consider it a bug either. If you're touching the touch screen, what do you think the phone should do differently? Especially considering the limitations of the N1's touch screen. With proper multi-touch I suppose the phone could decide to ignore stationary touches at the edges, but with the N1 that's not possible.
It is annoying. The phone needs more of an edge.
And if we could just turn multitouch off? I think this would not affect me so much.
Is there some way to do that?

Yep, even if possible the second touch i.e. where you actually want to press wouldn't register.
Multi-touch not being supported by the launcher is actually the cause of this, not the solution.

Ditto. And in addition - even having proper multi-touch unlike Nexus One, I believe it would still require quite complicated algorithms to know the difference between the accidental palm touch and the "true" finger touch - and so comes the question: is that thread about being unhappy with the slim size of the N1? Come on, really. If you want some extra edge - buy a case around it.
Well, thanks for all the answers. The only solution, then, is using a case.
At least, now I won't be searching again and again about this problem. I'll search only for a better case.

So if I get a third party launcher with multitouch I will be able to get around this problem? Basically launcher apps with the pinch to preview homescreen support multitouch, right?

No. First of all, because the N1 digitizer is crap so no software solution is technically possible for this phone. If you had a phone with proper multitouch then you could write some ugly, wonky hack that would sometimes be able to guess when you were accidentally touching the screen but it would probably cause more trouble then it would be worth. Basically the only solutions to this are to either get a case as has been suggested or use the iPhone 4 solution, i.e. don't hold it like that.

I tested using my n2 pen with the n3 and its much more smoth and faster response... dunno if i should replace the unit, just got mine today
I've been playing with my N3 since yesterday configuring it like my N2. S Pen and finger response seems more sensitive than on the N2. In fact, my N2 had an area in the upper right corner that wasn't as sensitive as the rest of the display that I'm glad to be away from.

You shouldn't need to do that. It's not for the S Pen it's for the Synaptic overlay for using your finger. That setting makes the display more sensitive when using gloves.

I have the black version and the bottom of the screen, the bottom right being the worst is really bad. You have to press over twice as hard to get it to work compared to the middle of the screen.

Yes I have the white one.
1st note I've had , I love it but I've noticed that using the S PEN screen sensitivity seems to diminish and even swiping across home screens using the S PEN seems to drop frames. I tried ticking the setting which I think makes it worse. Maybe it's a faulty S PEN because every thing is fine when it's in it's slot .
It works!
Wow just tried the adjustment and it works like a charm. Just took me awhile to find a screwdriver small enough. Definitely going to try this adjustment on my other spens

Adjusting the sensitivity screw is actually part of the process of calibrating the pen when you buy an Intuos.
Dropping or slapping it, however, is not. But works rather well, too. It solved it for me, anyway. (Had the same issues of low sensitivity in bottom part. Black pen.)
No I have the black 1 but same issues.

I'm mostly satisfied with my Z1, but I frequently have a weird problem.
The touchscreen on the Z1 just goes crazy; it touches everywant it wants or touches wrong place.
My friend had a simliar problem with his Z Ultra and it got better when he took the infamous anti shatter flim out, so I tried that too, but it got worse.
Sadly, Sony service centers had no idea why it was happening.
Uhh... it makes me tired soooo hard.
unfortunately its a common thing but how much it does varies. I'm on my second phone and it doesn't do it as much as the first one did.

I assume that you can edit a file to turn down the touch on the Z1 just like the Z-U. have a search in the Z-Ultra forum, I think the fix was posted by @hamdogg
Yeah like some other people said, clean the screen, finger oil/grease easily makes screen go mad, an example is if i play a game and the joystick on the screen just doesn't want to co-operate
Curious, it only happens occasionally when I plug in the magnetic charger. I foxed it by using the disable dock module on xposed framework.

tried. but problem still there.
It's pretty weird..
If my phone is laying down on my bed or desk or whatever, and I use my index finger, the upper right corner area doesn't respond well at all.. No matter how hard I press or how long.
BUT
When I pick my phone up, hold it in one hand and using the other ones index finger, it works ok. Holding it in one hand and using the thumb works well too.
It's as if the phone needs to feel the warmth of my palm to react to touch... How is that possible?
I am from the middle east. It's not cold now. My room is like 25C (78F)..
I really dont know if I'm fooling myself or if it's real.. I tried what I just described a lot of times. Even tried different angles of holding the phone (Not including screen rotation).
My phone was never dropped or even bumped. I am very careful with it.
I have a Nillkin tempred glass protector which I know hurt my sensitivity in general. But this issue is beyond that.
Any thoughs?
Anyone?
Just say what you think or experience yourselvs.

When my phone is placed on the bed, touch reactes badly. When I take it, in the same position, real quick, and place it on my pants, it works fine.

I assume you have a rooted phone. With the help of titanium backup you need to disable apps which you find running under settings>apps>running tab
Find the once you think are not needed by you on daily basis. You can also disable them from the same tab otherwise use titanium.
Our default governor is ondemand which means whenever a high demand comes it will adjust its speed according to activity so sometimes a mili seconds delay can cause the issue so change it to interractive and see if it help. I am afraid you have to try out these procedures and see which one auits you.
Also, if you think its the protector then youbshould remove it and test without it. Protectors are very cheap so you must test it

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.

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.

I read quite a few posts about that same problem. I started this thread because I hadn't seen anyone with the same issues that I'm having.
Have you tried "Pointer Speed Decrease" or the TSP firmware update. Also, have you tried one of those glass screen protectors?
Just a thought.

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.
