Quick consecutive taps mistaken as swipes. - Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
The touchscreen in my J7 Pro often misinterprets two consecutive taps as one swipe ending in the second tap. This makes a pain to type a message in this phone. The problem is illustrated in this screenshot

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
which is the result of typing *#0*# and activating the "Touch" test. I just alternated tapping on the left and right side of the screen and you see that many times (but not always) I get a swipe.
I have tried modifying the dexterity settings to no effect. I read somewhere that you can change the sensitivity of the screen at a lower level by rooting the phone and editing some configuration files but I have to yet find some clear instructions about what to do exactly...
Do you have any ideas to try to solve this?
Cheers,
Eduardo
P.S.: The touchscreen was changed recently but the old one gave the same problem although in a lesser degree.

Lost time and volume icons

Hi
I've only had my xda mini for a few days and this forum has been a massive help so far...
I'm hoping someone can help me, as you can see from the screen shot below I've lost the time and volume icons from the top of the screen, and only half of the signal icon is showing. I'm sure it's something I've done but I can't figure out how to get them back. Any ideas?

Also, the time doesn't show on the today screen with the date but I'm pretty sure it did before.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Are you using Registry Wizard? If so, there is a setting within that program that you must either uncheck before you apply changes or specify what you would like to have in the upper right-hand corner.
If not, you can search for Registry Wizard on this site. You might be able to restore the info in that corner with the program.
Best,

excellent, it was registry wizard. not sure how i missed that but thanks a million.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A possible cause is a loose connection between the d-pad and the screen. That's the one that has to be absolutely level and neither over nor under tightened - also insidentally a connection often associated with white screen problems somewhat worse than yours:
Connection seen here held by two screws.

Add numbers to the in-call screen of dialer?

It is driving me nuts that I can't easily access the numeric keypad during a call. I have to always remove the phone from my ear, unlock it, press the little "show keypad" key and then type. And I have to do this for each response.
On the Touch HD there is a huge amount of screen real estate left black whilst WinMo shows the "in-call screen". I can't believe it would be so difficult to add the digits 0-9 on that screen which can give off DTMF tones during a call.
The problem is, as a non-coder, I can't figure out where to begin and understand which files I need to change and how. Can anyone help? I would need a lot of hand holding but I'm willing to learn and become a real contributor to these forums in the process.

What setting do you use? Why?
I have a skin condition on the complete undersides of my hands (I believe it's called dermatitis or eczema) that causes them to be abnormally dry and peel thick layers off, almost 100% of the time.
Capacitive touch screens usually aren't sensitive enough for the weak current that passes through the tips of my fingers, but this setting, even with a screen protector, will detect one of my digits even if I hold it mere nanometers above the screen.
I also hated the jumpyness of swiping between homescreens due to 10 pixel movement detection. Bleh.
P.S. Did anybody else's Tapatalk favorites break recently? Mine just did.

I had the same issue last year, and it got worse. Luckily was just in the 1-year warranty period and had it repaired by Lenovo
