My touch screen is too sensitive. Sometimes it "presses" itself alone but if I clean the whole screen it gets better for a while. Now i have tried a multi touch tester app and I couldn't make it to recognize more than 5 fingers. To be honest it drops all touches on the third one but the app shows it got five different touches. I've tested it on my htc one and I could press it by all my 10 fingers.
What am i supposed todo? Take it back to the store? Buy a screen protector what makes it less sensitive? How about yours? I even tried the calibration.ini method suggested on other forums.
It is worth trying a screen protector. I am not seeing the same issues but I do have one on mine.

So ive had my g2 about two years now, its got is scratches and what not, but for the most part it functions well.
The largest issue is that sometimes when using the touch screen when i pull my finger away that area will stay activated like my finger is there. Happens a lot when using the on screen keyboard, and it seems to be getting a little worse.
Sometimes a good cleaning helps, but before long it comes back.
Anyone have the same experience, or able to recommend a fix.
Was thinking of doing a digitizer/screen replacement but figured id see if there were any experienced suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

since my phone is new I have this ''issue''.
I got it on the motorola milestone also.
But for me, the problem appear when I have sweaty hand ( stress or too much cofee). It looks like if I still press a key even if my finger is off.
My brother had the same problem on is galaxy SII , he put a plastic film (protective glass) and the problem is gone.
In inverse, if my fingers are too dry, the screen has difficulty to respond.
My solutions : wash my hans often, dont drink coffee, dont stress and wipe the screen on my jeans.
Thread moved to Q & A section, post in the relevant section next time.

Check on YouTube there are very good tutorials
I'd recommend iShieldz screen protector. It lasts a long time, and is very stable. I had mine on my phone for 6 months before I took it off.
Will these screen protectors reduce the sensitivity of your screen to the touch?
Yes, they do, at first. But, only by a little. The sensitivity returns as you use your phone. I put one on in March and its as sensitive as none at all now.
i cant find screen protector for One V, I had to cut one from Galaxy s3 just to make it fit in the screen.

I've tried screen protectors in the past but never liked how they felt and realized that I can buy a replacement screen on ebay for a little over $10. With some of the tiny torx screwdrivers I invested in (home depot had them for $10), I can replace my screen if I feel it gets bad (youtube videos can show you how to take it apart). That is my solution. The added bonus is that if you break your screen, you have the stuff to replace it.
I have:
1) Tmobile S4 (M919) White
2) Galaxy Tab™ Conductive Stylus ($19.99 now)
3) OEM wireless charger back cover
4) MIME ghost glass version 2
5) Spigen Neo Case
Using finger, the screen and soft button work all the time.
Using Stylus on the screen works all the time.
But there is a problem on "soft button" with "stylus"
1) sometime the stylus works with "soft button", but sometime won't.
2) sometime it works for 15mins or less then stop working on "soft button"
3. in order to have it working again, i have to turn the screen off then on. (but not 100% will bring it back to works)
I also tried with an aftermarket capacitive stylus that it used to works with my ipad 1, the same thing happened.
Do anyone have any idea about this? any physic behind this? thannk you.
The soft buttons aren't meant to be used with a stylus. Unless you have the galaxy note 8, then you are out of luck. The stylus is functional on the screen but not the capacitive buttons..

But how come it does work sometime? 99% of time it will get back to work after the screen off and on?
Works fine for me every time. And I have a 99 cent stylus

have you installed a glass type screen protector on your S4?

Ah, no i haven't. That might be your issue. The stuff on the tip of the stylus might not be strong enough to reach the capacitive buttons as the screen uses a different sensitivity level.

yeah, that's what i thought too. but it does work for few minutes after the screen on, so it's hard to conclude that the issue is solely caused by the screen protector. Maybe the sensitivity level on the "soft botton" is decreasing over time, has more sensitive right after it turned on.

Go into your display settings and check the box next to High touch sensitivity.. see if that helps the sensitivity issue

I tried it, but it makes no difference, maybe it's for the screen only?
But if i am lucky, i can bring it back to works for once if i keep tapping it with 2x more force. what i mean is, it will works on one tap after i tapped it for more then 10 times.
maybe the heat accumulated between the "soft button" and the screen protector is causing the reduction in sensitivity.
anyone has any idea?
I have a Matte screen protector on my phone, I occasionally take it off to see my 720 screen in all its beauty, but when I take it off the touch screen starting freaking out a little bit to my touch, especially on the navigation buttons, I have tried OpenSemc app for onscreen navigation but still the screen thinks I'm holding a touch even when I'm not. Help.
And if you replace your screenprotector back on your screen?? Do you you have still the same problem?

No, when I put the screen protector back on the phone, the problem goes away but matte screen protectors make the screen less appealing and its messing up the touch responsiveness of the phone without it

Try calibrating your screen removing the screen protector...
You can either use the script posted here...or there are apps available for the same. your problem may get resolved...

This didn't work, is there any other method?
Hi All,
Is it possible to turn down the touch screen sensitivity on the M8? I am finding that I do not even have to touch the screen in many cases and as a result the phone is doing a lot of unintentional things. Its especially annoying when texting as the phone registers a press as soon as the surface of my thumb comes near the screen, which might not be the area where i'm actually pressing. I had the same issue on my M7 too but didn't keep the phone for very long.
I'll bump this, interested myself.

I'd try using a screen protector. The M8 screen is propably more sensitive in order to work with the flip cover, which adds a quite thick layer to the digitizer. In order to actually decrease the sensitivity, you'd propably have to modify the touchscreen driver.
I have an otter case which has a screen protector, and the sensitivity is still outrageous.

This annoys the hell out of me too. Such a shame as I've just come from an iPhone 5S and prefer almost everything about the M8. It's only this and the slightly underwhelming camera that annoy. I'm still happy I switched.
Also have a screen protector - a glass one, 0.3 mm. I barley have to touch the screen, what's more, could have sworn a couple of times I haven't actually touched it. Ha, a microfiber screen wipe is enough to unlock the phone but since I turned off motion launch gestures I can live with it .
edit - maybe the "gloves mode" that's available in other brand android phones is on by default?
