Switching form S4 to G2. Everything is wonderful for me, except some small problem. I realized that G2 touchscreen is less sensitive than my old S4. On my S4 with just a gentle touch i can do everthing, i can even touch the screen with my finger nail, its ok. But on G2 the screen is less sensitive, my finger nail wont work, its a bit hard to touch everything on the screen.
Is there any method to increase the touchscreen sensitivity on G2, like on my S2 and S4. This really annoying cause my habit to touch the screen gently. Not only the S4, the iphone screen is very sensitive too. Just my G2 is less sensitive compare to others.
Please help me, experts from XDA. Thanks you so much!
Come on man up and touch like a real man!!

....have you tried an instore demo unit? The G2's screen is built to respond the same way the HTC One's screen does...fast & fluid. I've had both phones and still have an iphone for work (not listed in my sig). I can vouch for this
One thing you can do if you're curious is try the SGS Touch Screen Booster app and tweak your screen responsiveness to your liking. It worked great on my old Moto Atrix HD and literally transformed that phone.
I've had no need to load this app on my G2 due to stock responsiveness but I'm sure if your phone is not defective & you play with the app, you won't complain again lol

Thanks for your reply. I will test the demo unit again to compare to my G2 to see is it different or not.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.shop4apps.touchscreenbooster.com&hl=vi this app they said that its only for Galaxy S device. I'm not sure if anything can happen (like damage to the touchscreen) on my G2 or not?
I will check the other G2 first, if there's nothing i can do i will try the Booster app.
Thanks for help friend.
I know what you're saying. The G2's touch screen isn't as responsive as the G Pro. With the G Pro, you can actually use the screen with a piece of wire - not saying you'll do that but it just shows that the G2's screen just isn't as sensitive. Not a deal breaker for me though.

It works on other phones too. You won't damage your screen by using this app. Try optimized setting first see how it responds & go from there.

I want to ask u 1 more thing. Your G2 can it response to the touch with your finger nail (just finger nail, no finger skin touch the screen). I test many device like GS3, GS4, Lumia 520 they can response to the touch of finger nail easily. Even the LG L7 II can also do that, but my G2 cannot.
Please check your G2 and let me know can u touch the screen with finger nail or not. If your G2 can thats mean my G2 have problem. So sad

I can't help you solve this but can ensure that your G2 is in normal condition because mine has less sensitivity than my note2 too. I firstly found this when I changed from S2 to Nexus 4. I could fix this by flashing the touch sensitivity mod from Nexus4 forum. But now with my G2 I have to wait for those genius guys I guess.

Mine responds to fingernail.
Most people seem to complain that the G2 digitizer is TOO sensitive.
Consider exchanging.

Sorry. Definitely wasn't trying to offend.
Have you tried the app to see if if helps correct some of your touch sentitivity issues?
If you're still in your 14 day period, exchange it for a new one for sure. Otherwise I'd look into warranty replacement. When you have a good one that works you'll be much much happier! Keep us posted for sure

Go to developer options and enable "show touch data"... Check your "prs" value at the top of the screen. Mine registers at .01

And I dont think your finger nail will work on your sg2/sg4 either...

everyone saying that your finger nail can move the screen post a video showing it...Either your finger is relatively close to your finger nail and that is what registering on your screen data...

No need to post any videos,it works with the fingernail in mine too.I would rather want it less sensitive than it is.But it might get a better calibration later with an update or something.

I also got .01. Funny thing is, i was able to get different values based on what i was doing i.e swiping vs tapping vs typing if that makes sense
Is it the same case for you?
OP, something is wrong with yours. The G2 has one of the most responsive screens of all devices. Many people complain that it's TOO sensitive.
It works fine with my fingernail and will register a tap before I can even feel my finger touching the screen. Also works through clothing. Exchange yours!

Yeah, but my gnex could only register a touch at .21 minimum... I'm loving the screen on this thing.
According to some users in the comment section on the droid life article about the OTA Verizon pushed today, the update fixed the touch screen issues for them. About three or four people replied to the original comment saying they noticed the problem going away as well. Can anyone on Verizon G4 confirm? I'll post the link to the comment thread once I'm home.
why a whole thread on this 1 aspect of the VZW OTA that is talked about in 2 other threads already?
Sorry, on mobile, thread didn't load. Will go read that other thread you mentioned, thanks!
My LG G4 (H815T) had missed touches a few times (very few though).
After the update I don't think it's happened at all. Plus, it seems to be a bit more sensitive in general (requiring a lighter touch).
biggest difference is I'm no longer getting ghost touches where I'll be tapping on the middle of the screen and then the menu button or home button somehow get pressed.
I was hoping the touch screen issues were going to be addressed. Noticed it more and more of late. After the update, seems like I haven't experienced any missed taps. Verdict is still out. More usage to come tomorrow. Things are looking good though.
T-Mobile version needs some touch screen fixing love too ?

Verizon user here and I was having touch screen issues as well and after the update the I haven't experienced it at all. Loving this LG G4! former S5 owner
Touch screen issues remain...hard to say if there is any improvement.
Sprint
I have sprint and also have touch issued. I have delayed touch as well as miss touches. I hope LG fixes this issue
Oh well.. I will say that it does seem a bit better but I am still getting ghost touches.. In the attached screenshot the red dots are where the screen thinks I used multi touch but I never touched the screen with two fingers. This is post update.. It does seem to do better with swipes but those ghost touches cause the dock buttons or notification shade to activate.. Ugh.. I still love this phone but the screen issue can be maddening at times..
All discussion on the Vz OTA can be found in this here.

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.

Yea that's a weird issue. Ik on past phones there was like a glove mode to increase the sensitivity. I'm not sure if s7 has it but if it does maybe it's worth looking into if it got toggled somehow

Unfortunately I don't think that's the case here.
I am wondering if it's the same issues that happened with the S6!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/touchscreen-s6-sensitive-t3073953
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 .
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
You think you've got issues
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.

I've noticed the same thing. I thought I was crazy when trying to type and getting weird letters that randomly appeared! If it's happening on multiple units then it's probably a bug not necessarily a defective phone.

He said he tried it flat in the table hence he wasn't holding it. I've noticed the same thing on mine even while using s rather bulky case.

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.
I have owned my S7 Edge for a couple of months. But still cannot get used to the sensitivity of the screen edges. I can't hold the phone or use it without the folds of my hands touching the edge of screen and causing unwanted screen presses and activations. I find it almost impossible to use this device in one hand due to this.......
I was hoping that there might be a way to reduce or turnoff the screen edges sensitivity...... Does anyone have any suggestions.
And before anyone suggested a case, I don't want to use a case as that defeats the look of this phone IMHO.
Stock and UN rooted dual SIM.

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 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.
