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.

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.
I see that if I handwrite on MS2 using my finger on (for example) One noter or similar. the writing is practically in realtime.
However if I use a stylus everything is laggy and often I do not even get to write
where I pass the stylus.
But it works fine for touching icons etc.
I even tried with a "precision stylus" with the same results.
Is there a way to increase the discharge through the stylus or is it a problem with the MS2 screen sensitivity?
Has anybody experienced similar problems?
I am happy, apart from WiFi problem, Note 3 user but I have some questions regarding spen. I havent head any experience with spen before but I guess my expectations were higher then the reality, so here we go:
1. Shell the spen be sensitivity be equally good to my fingertip? In my case, finger servse it purpose better.
2. When I use the spen at an angle ( so colled natualr writing angle) the reception is poor. is it normal?
3. Shell I apply slight pressure when using the spen, or shell "the touch" itself be enaugh?
4. The worst part is about the capacitve buttons, I need to tap with the spen, 2-3 times before the device registers it.
Please help me out, as I need to make my mind before I go complaining
Thanks!
I went to the shop and tried the note 3 before I bought it. (3 different shops).
At the shop I played around with it, mainly with the s-pen.
I can definitely say from my own experience (30 min all up) that I found using the pen quite easy, and while I I needed to get used to it for the first couple of minutes, I experienced no issues.
I also used the pen from another samsung tablet that was next to it and found no problem.
I will say that my finger is much less accurate than the s-pen.
If you have a problem, try and go to a shop and try their note 3 pen on your device to see if its different.
You could try a tablet pen as well to see if that makes a difference for you.
Good luck.

The S-Pen is Wacom pen technology based device, which allows presure sensitive writing/drawing if the program/App makes use of this.
You will see a pointer if you come close to the screen with the wacom pen and moving across the screen, in windows tablet the mouse pointer is already there but will move with the pen movement too.
You have to touch the scrren with the pen tip an provide at least minimal preassure. The benfits are:
- if the programs do not support preasure sensitive input you may assume that it's not better then your finger.
- If the program supports preasure sensitive writing/drawing the line will get thicker or more pronounced e.g. if you draw using the spray paint. -
- Other Wacom pens work too, e.g. the S-Pen from my Samsung Slate7 win7 X700T1a tablet. It's slightly larger and better suited for work.
- The main benefit over the smaller pen that come with the Note is that on the opposite site of the pens tip is the erase button, that allows you to erase parts you don't won't.
- In addition to the keayboard you get also handwriting recognition, which is toggled by a button on the keyoard.
Unfortunately Samsung does not provide many details on the interfaces or versions, but I would assume it to be around 256 presure steps. Wacom tablets may be as high as 1024 -2048 steps.
I hope that helps you to have a better understanding of Wacom technology and what to look for. For me the Wacom based pen was a large reason why I choose a Notes.
Thank you for your answers but I am rather then understanding the technology trying to identyfi if the s-pen that came with my note 3 works as yours.
I just wanna ask if it register / works the same as yours and if you are experiencing the same when using it.
1. Is is as respoosive as your finger when touching the screen? Is just "touching" just enuagh, or sligh pressure need to by applied when navigatin between screen or while browsing?
2. And the captivate buttons, do they register your taps every time?
Thanks!

1. A slight touch on it. Just like how you touch or tap it using your finger.
2. Yes, since Note 8.0, S Pen works with the captive buttons. Ours one too.
Different between using S Pen and finger for the Air View is:
1. Finger - you can preview picture / SMS / header / email / speed dial etc
2. S Pen - besides what the finger could detect, S Pen also act as the mouse hovering mode and you can hover it above most of the icon and shows you a description what does the icon do
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
