As you can see in the title, I'm having problem with onscreen keyboard inserting multiple letters. I'm sure it didn't happen when I initially got the s7+. I've tried on both Samsung keyboard and gboard. Gboard has been a little better. I've also disabled swipe typing. I notice that when hovering over the screen on the s7+ and my z flip, buttons are highlighted or pressed without touching the screen. Is there a way to stop that as I think that's the problem.
Did search before posting but found another post on same issue woorded ddiffferently.

TEST...
I've aadd a Glasprotoctor on the screen..,The only response on the screen with a normal keyboard is max 0.5mm in front of the screen.
So no issues are visible on my side.
Really?
I also experience this on my Mi9 Lite. Also on my MSI laptop but not that often. Maybe its realted to the OS hiccups? Is it really that bad?

Hi, thought it was just the go launcher causing this but it looks to be an issue with the phone. Sometimes screen presses don't register, seems a bit random, where pressing harder always work. Seems to me sensitivity has been set a bit to low. Anyone else noticing this or is it just me?
Just you mate, capacitive screens don't respond to harder presses especially since the S2 has a gorilla glass display, what phone are you coming from?
I know that but it really does work better if my press is harder or more defined if you want to put it that way. I come from a HD2, no issues with that, could be a duff screen.
edit: ok there is something wrong here, now it starting bring down the the notifications bar when i click on some icons, odd behaviour.
wonder if its something to do with my phone being set to 190 density, I will have a play
no joy with density change, think my screen is duff.
seems to be a latency issue with the digitiser, if I do a quick touch, say like i am typing it doesnt register at all when I click an icon, if I click and hold an icon for slightly longer (not long enough to bring up the screen edit it options)it is ok, which is why i suggested that pressing harder made it work, its not the pressure its the time my finger is held against the screen, a sensitivity issue, its like the software is being told to ignore light touches.
Typing texts etc is ok, just seems to be an issue on the desktop and drawer when I am selecting icons.
***Nevermind This post. I figured out why this is happening. It was becuase 'use vertical swip to change to symbols' was ticked and apparently just a micron swipe is trigging this on my phone, i type too fast for this option, Turning it off has seemed to fix my problem.****
This is a wierd topic i'm sure, I'm wondering if anyone else ever gets ghost hits on their screen when typing with the on screen keyboard.
I use the regular built in keyboard, no custom rom, no root, nothing, and it seems like 1 out of every 3 or 4 messages i'm typing my keyboard will randomly switch to the symbols, its annoying as hell and I cant figure it out.
You might think "He's probably hitting the key while typing" but its in the lower left corner, and sometimes it will happen when my left hand isn't even typing, i'll be going to hit the I key with my right thumb and BAM i'm in symbols now... I dont know if its exactly the same key every time I cant seem to quite reproduce the problem, it just randomly happens and its irritating.
I'm wondering if there could be some kind of link to the screen protector causing this or not? It's a clearvue screen protector.. I've also noticed when playing around with the screen, that sometimes I can get my fingre sooo close that it actually detects a response, and my finger hasn't even touched the screen yet! IS there some sensitivity thing i can adjust or something? cuz i dont know whats up with this wierdness...
Anyone else?
Hi all, i received my Verizon Galaxy Edge on friday and the phone is perfect, but i'm having a issue. I've looked everywhere to see if others are having the same issue as me but nothing, zip, nada.
The issue im having is with the touch screen, lets just say i'm texting, i normally keep my left thumb near the volume down button, kinda touching the edge screen but not really much, well im texting and sometimes i dont have to be pressing the keyboard, but its the issue with the left edge screen, it's making it press in the center where my thumb would be. i've turned on to show my input presses and all that and its confirmed the center of the screen touch input when i'm only touching the edge. any help or issues? does this sound more of a hardware defect or a software defect?
This is weird. I'm kinda having the same problem, but not "frequently". I wonder if other people do. I think it has to do with our palm/fingers accidentally for a short period of time so it registers as a touch, then if you were already touching somewhere else then it'd mess up and register the touch in a random place, but I'm not sure. For me it isn't in the centre but it's annoying when it happens.
Well its not all the time dead center, but yeah its annoying. We might have same issue
an update, today i was typing on facebook and i noticed my right thumb was kind of near the L key but it was recognizing presses with my other hand without touching the screen (heat presses) tried to get the video but it went back to normal 5 seconds after the video, will record when it happens again.
Hello,
For touch screen problem try this:
-in dialer type *#2663#
-TSP firmware update (general)
You should see "PASS"
That have solve my touch screen problem...
So, I don't know if this is just me but I am having an issue where the keyboard keys 'p' and 'q' are hard to register my touches. I think it has to do with the edge of the screen not having the digitizer wrap with screen.
I've tried to find a keyboard that allows me to change the spacing of the keys to pull the top row in a bit, but nothing is coming up. Anyone else having this issue or know of a way to fix this? Its not a deal breaker but it does cause a problem every now and again.
70 views and not a single reply? Its driving me CRAZY, i keep having to hit the letters P and Q multiple times when typing.
on mine all is OK...just have to tip once..tried multiple times..
Hi all, I have had a problem for years, so I thought I would finally share my shame and seek help. With every Android keyboard I have tried, if my thumb touches the strip between the bottom of the keyboard and the edge of the screen, it kicks me out of the keyboard. Not a problem except that it happens to me all the time.
Why on earth would people not make the keyboard extend all the way to the bottom of the screen? Not like that space has any use.
Anyway, does anyone know of a keyboard that does not have that strip or an application that could turn off the touch sensitivity of that are? If I could permanently turn off touch sensitivity to the bottom 1 or 2 mm of my screen that would be great. I never need it there.
I know that the logical answer would be to learn to type on my phone, but I am 54, and, to paraphrase Barbie, Android is hard.
Thanks.
