Random block of the icon "App" - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
at times, to start "app" in the lower right I have to touch icon (with your finger) with greater intensity (or repeatedly) while for the other icons (for example, "post") I have to touch with a very slight touch.
Also happens, and that is more annoying, is that the icon "app" sometimes is locked: you can press as you want but nothing happens. In these cases, however, if you touch something else (for example another icon) and then immediately press again app, or wait a bit of time without doing anything, everything goes back to work ... it's like as if something blocks the icon "app ".
The touch test (*#0*#) and everything seems to work correctly (the dots blacken without problems and even lines are drawn well in the zone of the icon “app”).
I am beginning to think it is a sw problem and not an hw problem. I do not know what to do. What do you thing about? Can you help me?
Anyway ... thank you very much!
Greetings

Fullscreen problem (selecting behind the active window)

I've had this problem for a while, but I'm pretty much fed up with it to this point that I've decided to ask about it. I don't know if this is restricted to the TP2, but I'd imagine it's probably a Windows 6 problem more than the device.
The issue is that when I play any full screen application (one that covers the top and bottom menu bars), typically games, sometimes it loses it's status as the active window but still remains in front of everything else. This means that where ever I pres on the screen, it will select whatever is behind the game and therefore gives me no ability to select the game itself.
This is most prominent with the keyboard button in the bottom bar. It's not uncommon for me to have to press something on the edge of the screen in one of these applications only to have the keyboard pop up and garble all of the graphics. Once this occurs, there is no real easy way to go back. I have to open up task manager and either close the full screen app or activate it again. Another time this becomes a big issue is if I'm on the program tab of TF3D (which frequently you are after you've opened an app) and basically anywhere I press just starts opening applications left and right.
Does anyone know why this occurs and is there a fix for it?

[Q] Problems with 5.1.1

My watch was working perfectly before the 5.1.1 update, but ever since the update, it is slow to wake, unable to swipe away cards from the watch face without opening them, the touch sensitivity is TERRIBLE....have to swipe over and over to get it to register, and for notifications I am unable to select "ALL"...can only select "priority" and "none".
Is anyone else having these problems?
5.1.1 problems are being discussed here if you're not aware:

No problem in starting a new thread, though.

I noticed that the touch screen seems derpy to me too. Something is definitely weird with the toggle shade thingy. I'm having the same problem with selecting "all". You can get it, but you have to find the exact spot below and to the left and tap frantically like a dozen times. I reccomend using the test app in developer settings and open the touch test. It will display a small grid and it will trace all your touches. Don't worry if it says fail. Just notice whether or not its tracking your finger. To get it to pass you have to turn the lines green by swiping in a certain direction. Mine tracks perfectly so, for me at least, the hardware is fine. Definitely a software issue.

Yesterday I installed the Android M preview on my phone, and so I had to do a reset on my watch. Now all of the touchscreen wonkiness has gone away, and it's working fine!
Before I was unable to get the app list to appear by swiping from the right, but only by tapping once. Also, I couldn't swipe in the center of the screen in the mode selector shade, but only above or below the row of icons. Now that's all working as well.

Swimming screen

Hi Fairphoners,
I have my FP1 device from the first badge, and everything was fine until today. My phone started to shift upwards the screen at every refesh. It does not change if I do not tap the screen, but every time the screen is refreshed, it goes upwards with a few line. This behavior does not effect the touchsceern, I have to tap it on the "original place" if I want e.g to start an app.
Itis like the FP would have an offset on the display which is increased by every refresh, I can see everything, but not at a constant place (e.g the top of the screen is somewhere ind the middle).
I did several re-boot, and I have this behavior during the start-up screen (blue fairphone screen) as well.
Does anyone knows what the problem might be? How can I fix it?
If my description is not enough, please let me know.
Thank you in advance for all the help.
Cheers,

Long press not working anymore on some parts of the screen

Hi,
The title speaks for itself.
Big issue here, long-press on the screen of my D855 doesn't work anymore.
Touchscreen is fine but long-presses just acts like a normal press.
I can't tell when exactly this bug started but it's really annoying since some actions can't be done without it (can't move icons, play specific games, etc...)
The lower end of the screen works fine tho (navigation buttons and apps dock) but everything above don't.
Some rare times it works with no particular reason.
Can someone help me with this ?
Is it hardware or software related ? (updating firmware to V21a didn't solved my issue).
Bu chance u aint got a glass protector on do you
No glass protector.
Stock Rom.
This is a really weird bug because it works 1 time after a "pinch to zoom" for exemple and then again it stops working
Off top of my head try if ure rooted xposed like g3tweakbox or gravity box one of 2 change long press behavior or or goto acseability and change touch feed back time to short
I have the same problem, whenever I scroll down/up, it goes directly at the bottom/top. Sometimes, it goes back to normal, I don't even know why but frequently it goes back to the problem. I had already gone to Accessibility, ..., set it to slow and it seems not to work. What to do? :/

Bottom part of screen non responsive

First things first: This is a crosspost from https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-Z-Play/Bottom-part-of-screen-non-responsive/td-p/3630276. Hope this is ok.
Hello,
I have a problem with the touch screen. I noticed that pressing the home button isn't recognized every time. Sometimes nothing happens (no vibration, nothing).
So I investigated a little: I turned on the developer settings, enabled the "Pointer location" option so that the OS shows the path where I drag my finger.
I then dragged my finger from the bottom left/right of the screen into the bottom center in different arches. You can see the result in the attached file on the left side. (I combined all screenshots into one image)
What I came to find is that apparently there's a dead zone in the middle of the bottom of the screen!!! I have marked this area approximately with a red ellipse on the right side of the attached screenshot.
What can I do to remedy this issue? Do I have to RMA my phone? Can I solve this with a screen recalibration myself?
Please advise,
Best regards,
Chris

EDIT:
Found the culprit! "Fingerprint Quick Action" (com.ztc1997.fingerprint2sleep) was responsible for this behaviour! That's sad, because I liked the additional home button via fingerprint reader...
I also use the app and experience the symptom. Thanks for the info, good to know at least what is causing the problem...
