Sides' touch doesn't work due to prevent accidental touchs - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

hello everyone.
first couple days that I bought the s7 edge, when my hands accidentally touched either sides of the screen, the phone responded to the touch and it was very annoying.
now after some updates, the very edge of the both sides (about 3 millimeters) doesn't respond due to prevent the accidental touch.
but I use some gestures to run various actions and I want the edges to respond to the touch as it used to be.
any help will be appreciated ?

[Q] Digitizer Problem - Aria

Hi,
I just want to thank everyone on this site for the plethora of information that is available.
Here is a rather strange issue, that I did not see covered previously...
I purchased a used aria with a cracked digitizer off ebay for pretty cheap. I replaced the digitizer myself and all was good. I used the phone for about a week and dropped it. After that, the digitizer has been acting a bit flaky.
For instance, when it decides that it wants to annoy me, every input seems to register only on the middle of the screen. For instance, if I touch the top of the screen, the screen registers touches as though I was touching the screen in middle of the height. If I touch the bottom, it still registers the touch in the center of the screen.
I found that If I knock the phone against a table, along the edge, the problem goes away for a while. Then it crops up, again, randomly.
Anyone have this issue?
Thanks,
JC

[Q] Disabling certain area of touchscreen?

Hello everybody,
quite time ago I received a 1st gen. Nexus 7 3G with cracked glass. The lower-right corner wasn't receiving taps, but I got used to that.
Now practically I can't use my Nexus, because it started to self-recognise ghost taps near the cracked point. A lot of these taps.
Is there any possibility of disabling the selected touchscreen area until I replace the broken part?
Regards.
Uhm... A bump?
The only possible solution that comes in my mind is an app that practically overlays any other app and filters the touches from a selected area of the screen. I don't think there are any of this kind of app or too much other solution, so I suggest you to replace the screen as soon as possible.

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.

Touch screen sensitivity adjustment missing

Has anyone found a way to adjust the touch sensitivity of the screen like on the older models. You used to be able to adjust it very sensitive to work with gloves. It seems that this screen is a little less sensitive than the S7. I find myself having to double tap a lot of things. Is it there and I am just missing it?
Good Question...but no reply yet
Yes mine is also not sensetive enough, i also have s8 plus and its much more sensetive
S8+ touch sensitivity issue
I am having an S8+ and facing the same sensitivity issue. It's very slow to respond and most of the times take more than one tap to respond. And there are no adjustments found!!

Up. Having the same issue on my S8.
Yeah sometimes I have to tap apps 3-4 times to get them to launch.
Do you all have screen protectors? I have one but I don't want to remove it cause I paid a lot for it.
I also have weak touch sensitivity on my Galaxy S8, I have to tap several times on a certain app to open it, so frustrating, will probably return my device! :/
My S8+ is over sensitive...
Is there any fix for this +
Same issues on my S8. Most time i must push 2 or 3 time to open a app.
