Has anyone used button saviour on the edge? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I use button saviour on all my android devices, and I find it really speeds up maneuvering through my GUI. I was wondering if anyone had used it on the edge's curved screen? It's something that I (unfortunately) can't test at the verizon retail locations.
Also did they remove the floating keyboard (undock keyboard) option on the s7 edge (samsung kb). It appears it's no longer an option on teh demo units I tried.

MST Antenna?

Where is the MST antenna located on the S7 Edge? I'm just looking for the best way to hold my phone when trying to use MST. I've looked and haven't been able to find this anywhere. Thanks!
Here, this video shows how and where to hold the device - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIzNgO68wK8
I knew about the tapping but the Hoover where you can swipe its pretty awesome. Didn't know about that part.

Keyboard keys on screen edges

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

[Q] Disabling the touchscreen on the edges?

*** MOD EDIT: thread closed, please go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/hate-edge-screen-how-disable-t3442697 ***
I often find myself inadvertently touching a bit of the screen when I hold my phone (usually when I'm lying in bed) and it's pretty annoying. I don't like having to shift my grip to just the sides as I constantly feel like I'm about to drop it.
I've also found that I simply don't use any of the edge features aside from sometimes the "Edge panels" which is restricted to a narrow part of the right edge next to the power button. Is there a way to disable a few milimeters of the touchscreen on both sides and even better, have a 'cutout' to activate the edge panel?
No doubt people will read this and wonder why I got an Edge in the first place, and not the standard S7. It was for the looks, bigger battery and bigger screen.
Hey, i got the s7 edge a few weeks ago too and this is annoying me a lot as well. Did you manage to fix it somehow?
I started a better thread for this at https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/hate-edge-screen-how-disable-t3442697/page2
Mods, please close this one.

Soft key working with finger but not pen

Hi all. I have a stock device but perhaps some of you might help shed some light on why the recent apps soft key works fine with my finger but not the pen (the back key works fine with both). I've researched a lot online but all the discussions I've found seem to be the other way around - reacts to pen but not capacitive touch. I have this phone and the note edge and deciding between the two. Although I'm leaning towards the regular note 4, this non-working key bugs me a bit as I tend to like to use the pen. Anyone have had this problem? Software or hardware likely? Thanks.

Edge Touchscreen

Hey guys I had the S6 edge and had issues while typing, the edges would get touched and put in characters that I didn't want there, it was annoying. Is anyone having an issue while typing in the S7 edge?
I use SwiftKey which detects the edges and doesn't show any key in the curved area.

I use kii. I have never had that problem. I can't imagine it happening too much if you swipe to type. My case may help the edges from being touched inappropriately too. Something you may want to consider is that it is hard to find a good screen protector for S7 edge.
