Tapping feels weird. Am I the only one? - Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers

Hi everybody,
I have an annoying issue with the handling issue and I'd like to know if you have the same experience.
I hope this is half-way understandable, it's kind of hard to describe when you're not a native speaker
In some apps, I'm often not able to select a UI element on the first try. I found this is because the S4 Tab has a very aggressive detection of tapping inputs that will make it a movement instead of a tap if you move you finger the slightest wile tapping. Unfortunately this happens to me all the time since through pressing my finger onto the display, it flattens and expands it's surface, thus creating more touch input and failing to tap. After failing, I remember the issue and will tap very fast and it will work, but it happens to me alle the time.
I've had about 10 other tablets and smartphones and never saw such behaviour. Is there any way to fix this? I've already looked in the settings but didn't find anything that helped me.
Here's a screenshot of a touchscreen test app to clarify the issue.

FWIW, my touch sensitivity has gotten worse also. Maybe since the December security update. I had to tap 3 times on your post to get it to open.
I've tried clearing cache in recovery and rebooting, but no improvement. I was hoping our android pie update drops soon so I can just factory reset and see what happens.

Manila Spaz Out! (Pictures and Videos) Does this happen to anyone else?

I experience this from time to time since my recent software reset. Didn't happen much in the beginning, but I'm sure it must of been something I installed and uninstalled of a program I tried out. Could be Batti causing the problems, as it seems to have come about when I started using Batti.
There would be junk at the top, as well as almost all hardware buttons don't work. Some soft buttons may work, but don't do much. Blank Menus occur. Start button doesn't work, so I can't get to settings to manually deactivate Manila. Manila may restart on it's own, but no resolution and bugs still occur. Power button doesn't work, so I gotta open the battery case and soft reset.
Does this happen to anyone else (particularly Sprint users)? Are you also using Batti?
Here are pictures and Video

I have, for a very short while, used Batti with no problems at all. Maybe another piece of software you've installed??
If this problem persists, the only way out is to do a hard reset.

How To Make Your Multitasking A Lot Faster And More Convenient [needs root]

Like many of you, I love my S3. One thing I HATE is the multitasking implementation. Holding the home button for 2 seconds is tedious and slows down the experience of a blazing fast phone
I have managed to overcome the problem and thought I'd share it in case this issue was frustrating others too. Essentially, it allows you to tap the bottom right hand corner of the screen to bring the multitasking bar up. This can easily be done with one hand, and I find makes using the phone a lot faster
Steps:
- Download GMD GestureControl (there is also a free version, although I am not sure if this will 100% work on that)
- Swipe right to 'custom gestures'
- Set up like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That's about it!

dear i think u should check the forum before you post... the thing GMD gestures already posted and described in the forum

SecureOTP on Zenfone 2

As the title implies, I cannot get the app SecureOTP to run on the phone properly. It gives some message, but it's in Japanese. Unfortunately I need the app in order to play Phantasy Star Online 2. Someone in a review stated they got it working via a setting, but I am unaware of what it is. Anyone got the tech skills to try and wrangle the bug?
Bumping for still an issue. Screenshot added for hopeful help.

I registered because I faced the same problem. It's pretty easy, just go to settings -> ASUS customized settings -> Recent apps key. Now choose the value for Recent apps key as "Tap and hold to show menu". As the name implies it let's you open up a menu when holding down the right capacitive button on the zenfone 2. After this you can revert back to the old settings for this button since SecureOTP does not need you to fiddle around with its menu anymore.
Truth to be told I did not come up with this and had struggled for days and the only clue I got was your post and the review on playstore which you mentioned. I figured zenfone 2 must have its own way to open up menus so I dug around the settings. But yes, SecureOTP has finnicky problems with its menu button which vary between phones and it even happens on emulators like bluestack.
Anyway, enjoy your PSO2 and have fun.

Screen goes black while in call

Hi,anyone have this issue in the moment when start ringing on the other side,screen goes black i can wake it up only by double pressing the camera key,i read that this is common issue with xz2 phones someone has report that changing the stock dialer is making this problem goes away but not in my case,i check sensors in diagnostic menu phone says diagnostic is ok,im not using any screen protectors or covers and nothing is covering the sensors,i did full factory reset and having the same problem again,i dont have a warranty on it so any susggestion would be great.
It happened to me before once ot twice too. I think it is tied to a problem with touch while receiving calls that has it's own discussion on the Sony forums. I captured a screenshot of the problem occuring. (touch was not working until i restarted the screen)

No,the problem is happening only when im making calls,reciveing call are fine
Nevermind then
Hello,
I have the same issue, during a call the screen sometimes goes black like it was locked but then it lights up when I presse the ower button twice. That's strange but I think this is a software problem, since everything else is working well.
Basic function doesent work calling,no words

Youtube problem

Hello, sometimes when I swipe down a video it doesn't work. Another problem are the buttons which aren't at their place. I made 2 screenshots where you can see exactly the problems. The phone I'm using is an HTC 10 with Android Oreo, latest patches. Does anybody know a solution or could google launch a update? Is anyone having the same problem?

Yes, same issue here.
- Somtimes buttons don't want to disappear
- Exiting full screen by pressing back button leaves a big grey part in the app
Going back to the stock youtube app fixes it, so... a bug in the youtube app?
Same problem.
Same problem too....
Hello. Im experiencing same problem. I have gone back to youtube stock but the problem is still there.
Same problem here. Also when I turn the phone sideways it doesn't always show the full length scrub bar. It ends up in the top left corner. Still using the stock app, but Youtube bugs me to update it now.
