it's not a hardware feature on the galaxy SL, s2, galaxy3, galaxy s+, galaxy s1, but either way they managed enabling it by adjusting some values on the touch driver, i think it is possible that it can be done on the SGS3 too, i've been looking trough my phone to find the driver, it has to be in the SYS folder, if we find that it might be very possible that we can get floating touch working on the sgs3

I' d like bump this topic now..
We all know s4 came out with floating touch feature. so i was wondering if it is a hardware req or can it be ported to s3 ?? what are the restrictions ?

Can someone make it possible for s3?

Galaxy s4 has dedicated hardware which gives proper response where as in galaxy SL and other devices we are just increasing the touch sensitivity

No matter how, floating touch is still possible on s3
But I don't know if there are any adverse effects of increasing the touch sensitivity?

The s pen uses a Wacom chip and the note (5.3 and 10.1) has a digitizer with technology to recognize input from the chip. Regular Galaxy Tabs (and other tablets and phones) do not.
HTC One X running Viper ROM and Faux kernel....
It also has a digitizer overlay on the screen. Which senses the pressure of the s pen.

Scrolling Lag/Elastic

I went into a Carphone Warehouse in the UK today and also a Vodafone shop to have a play with the new SIII and I am absolutely deflated to find that it exhibits quite extreme "lag" or "elastic" scrolling in the menus and in general in the UI. You can see exactly the effect I'm talking about here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DuMZRkBvlw and on the SIII it's actually even worse. It was actually the same on the SII with most of the ICS roms so it seems that this is for some bizarre reason by design and not a bug of some sort?
Why on Earth would Samsung actually CHOOSE to implement this kind of "elastic" delay to finger scrolling? I cannot think of a good reason for them to set it up that way? It's definitely NOT an ICS issue because the HTC One X doesn't have this problem at all - so someone somewhere at Samsung has actually decided to put this in!!!???
Why have NONE of the SIII reviews I've read mentioned this infuriating effect during scrolling? I'm not all that sensitive - I have to emphasise that the effect on the SII and now the SIII is actually quite extreme. The SIII is now even worse than the SII!
Can this be fixed by devs in some way? I think the video I linked to above is essential to understand what I mean. It's NOT slowness because the phone is underpowered or not optimised. It seems to be a crazy design descision on the part of Samsung? I didn't see any fixes to it on the SII threads and the custom ROMS for the SII didn't address the problem either. I can't be the only one to notice this?
Any feedback would be very interesting.... I simply love the SIII but it's an absolute deal-breaker if the "elastic" effect is delayed to such an extreme... It drives me mad!
Oh I just asked if the SIII was like this in the vs one x thread. It was one of my biggest quirks with the SII, but you could actually change the sensitivity if rooted. It improved vastly, but never as good as on the one x. Samsung implemented a high pixel delay(if that's the right wording) for some reason.

Don't notice it, touchscreen reacts before I put my finger on it :s it's really fast

omitting the lag, elastic scrolling is a feature of ics updates, its much better than the normal scrolling.
if elastic scrolling is present in sgs3 all you have to do is get practiced to it.
i have it on my galaxy s2 with ICS, both on samsung roms and AOSP roms. gingerbread was much better scrolling.
i really was hoping it was fixed in the s3, but now it seems it isnt
EDIT:
i am thinking all that nature feeling bs is just to cover it up?
Is that really what your complaining about? lmao

Have you tried a touch screen test app? If you move slowly, how long before the screen reacts? On the SII It's quite a long distance, so playing drawing games and such is impossible.

There is an app for that on play, you have to donate for the settings to stick after you lock and unlock the device..it's perfect and touchscreen test reacts on movements instant

I'm facing the same problem with home screen lags as well. After considering, I switch back to EX go launcher with ICS themes; and everything works perfectly as it should - No home button lags, scrollable screen with Original SIII lock screen.

Yeah I know that, I actually bought it for the SII. Paid 5$. The reason I'm wondering is because my girlfriend wants one, and she won't root it.

Why no screen color profile option?

Hey ppl. I just bought my Sprint Galaxy S III. I've searched but found no answer. I was wondering why the US version (or at-least the Sprint version) of the Galaxy S III does not have the adjustable screen color profile option and the international Galaxy S III does? I've read that it is on the international version but why not ours. This option was also on the Galaxy S II. I loved this feature because I liked my screen as vibrant as possible, yeah I know the colors aren't realistic but I don't care. Any body have an idea about this? I know I'm not the only one who noticed.
The US versions don't have this option.
I wish I could make my screen as vibrant as possible too.

That sucks ass....why would they remove this option? I can't think of 1 possible reason why it would hurt to leave it..
They removed it I believe because we have a different cpu/gpu so it won't work

[Q] Palm to pause feature not working

EDIT: I originally asked a question but to prevent spamming I changed the title, ignore the first few posts.
I recently just found out that I had a swipe palm to screenshot feature and a pause/play music with the palm of your hand, I've tried to do it and it does not work, I've even looked on Youtube at tutorials and I get as close as I can and it doesn't do anything (Yes, I have enabled them)
Because the US one has a different cpu and gpu and also LTE.

Ohhhhh, that makes me feel a little better. I was actually considering selling the phone and trying to import internationally, my mistake!
Cheers guys
It wouldn't work on mine either but I personally find it easier to press pause with one finger rather than looking like a fool by palm slapping my phone

I know that's what I was thinking when I was trying to do... totally pointless but I just wanna make sure it works although I'll probably never use it

While in call voice changer app

The title says it all.
Do you know any app who can change my voice while I am in conversation? I believe there are certain apps which can change it while not in a call, but thats not what I am looking for.
I believe Galaxy S3 has enough CPU power to do this. Years ago there were these cheap chinese phones which had this feature build.
Thank you in advance for your answers
I don't think Android supports it.
