Hello ! I need help for a specific issue i have never heard happening on an android phone.
I have an Exynos S10e and the task/app switcher becomes partially unresponsive in specific conditions.
When the app switcher just appears, if i try to swipe somewhere (swipe to the side or swipe up to close an app) mid-way through the swipe, the screen suddenly stop recognizing my finger, i have to lift my finger and touch the screen again for it to function. Basically, i have to interact with the screen after the hardware layer updates to avoid this problem.
This issue only appears after the screen has been locked once in the session.
Basically if i reboot/shutdown my S10e, access my launcher and fiddle around with the app switcher, everything is fine. As soon as the screen locks and i unlock it, the issue reappears.
The problem exists with both the stock app switcher and the "task changer" from Good Lock. Also exists with both OneUi and Nova Launcher. I tried a lot of things and i'm up to date on the security updates, etc.
I wiped the cache partition, tried with and without the Always-On-Display, and that changed nothing.
Anyone experiencing the same thing ? Or a solution to suggest ?
(The issue also exists with my old Nexus 5 but the time window allowing the glitch to occur is extremely narrow.)

The store says to run it from phone or device. I ran it from phone and it says its activated and to just swipe from top left. i've tried that over and over with restarting my gear live and my note 3 and still doesn't work any tips?
Working flawless for me on Gear Live and Note 3 stock uprooted.
Swipe slowly on top left of screen to the right. Do it when the clock face is on and not google now screen.

I had to run the app on the watch manually for the first time (by activating Voice Input and scrolling down to "Start..." and choosing the app there).
After that swiping on the upper left does work well. Maybe that's it for you as well...

i had to do this as well
well for some reason it didnt like the watch face (one of the defaults) i changed it to another and it fixed the issue.
sensitivity / faster light on
Since I used the Mini Launcher I have got the impression that the sensitivity / reaction of the watch has changed.
Now it needs only little movement of the wrist half a turn and the light goes on.
It lights up much too often now.
Can the launcher be the reason or must it be something else?
No change after two resets.
Any ideas what to do?
My Z3C started having a problem about 2 weeks ago.
It seems the drop down notification is being too sensitive or activating when it shouldnt.
Eg - on the home screen it seems ok
However, if you start a SMS or keyboard app or navigate Facebook, the nav bar keeps dropping (and obviously interfering with the screen)
Since then I have reset to stock and eliminated any applications.
What could possibly be happening and how to fix or turn off nav bar?

I have had the same issue today and I have tried everything possible to fix it. You know your desperate when you search the tenth page on Google for help like I did... I didn't find ****. I then decided to turn of my phone completely instead of pressing the restart option and it fixed my problem! I cant guaranty it will work for you but its worth a shot if you haven't tried already.
Check if the glove mode option is turned off in your settings, Glove-Mode makes the screen more sensitive so it might be causing your problem!
I've had this same issue. A couple of weeks later the top side of the screen stopped functioning completely. The touch screen was broken. I got it fixed for free under warranty, Sony did a great job, within 2 weeks!
Test touchscreen
Faced same problem. Found out that it was touchscreen issue and got it replaced under warranty.
Run Touchscreen service test from the service menu and check that the top part of touchscreen is detecting touch or not, in my case top left corner was not working.
Hey guys my first post here!
I'm having touchscreen issues after the oreo update (android 8). I got the update around 10 days ago.
I'm experiencing the following:
- The most important: Taps not registering sometimes. I used to be able to softly tap anything without any problem, but now my taps are not registering sometimes and i have to double tap.
- Bad scroll detection : the device sometimes recognizes scrolling as a knuckle gesture (crop screenshot) or scroll responsiveness is laggy.
- Tap registering as a knuckle tap. This happened only once. I tapped two times with my finger as the first one didn't register and it took a screenshot.
My use of the phone didn't change since the update and I'm kinda concerned. Is this a software problem? Anyone else experienced something similar?
I have the same issue! Many times knuckle gestures turns on not recognize correctly the touch.
Reboot phone in recovery mode and select format cache.
Restart and try touchscreen again.
Same issues with touch screen response after Oreo update.
Format cache does not solve the problem.
Sometimes is not registering finger. Sometimes register as double tap.
This is happening with my phone as well. It also registers phantom input, like occasionally things on far away from my fingers. The YouTube app has been especially sluggish when scrolling or swiping, to the point where it confuses swipes with taps and opens random stuff while lagging, or just crashes. The gboard is also becoming increasingly unpredictable and sometimes it feels like everything is being registered a litte skewed.
I checked the memory in case I got one of the bad ones, but it seems ok. It must be either the screen or a software thing then?
Same issues on day one from last year nougat rom
Any updates on this issue?
I am on 369 and is very annoying.
Any solution?
Downgraded to Nougat with HiSuite and problems with touchscreen gone.
I have problems only on Oreo.
Friend not having single issue on Oreo.
Don't understand.
After upgrading to Lineage OS 15.1, I realize that if I have screen lock set to pattern, then it is extremely hard to unlock when the screen has been off for a while. The screen will stay black while when I'm holding power button the phone will vibrate as if I'm calling power menu. This black screen can last at least one minute. I also set long press to open flashlight when screen is off and that doesn't work. Those symptoms makes me believe that the phone is awake, yet for some reason can't get GUI rendering. Sometimes even when I enter the correct pattern and the animation moves dots and timer away, I can still draw unlock pattern on the hiding unlock dots, and phone will vibrate in a very laggy manner.
Currently I'm running with no screen lock as even "swipe" still cause the unlock process to be very painful. Is this a known issue for LOS or is there a way to fix it? I saw a post says the battery should be replaced if phone is laggy. Is that a possible cause?

This isn't a known problem.
From what did you upgrade?
Which build are you using?
Did you do a clean install?
Which gapps are you using.
Do you have Expanded Desktop enabled?

I was using Stock Android before, but I fully wiped everything before I install.
15.1-20180508-NIGHTLY-shamu
Yes.
I got my GApps from Open GApps, but didn't remember which variant but most likely nano.
I actually have this enabled. I'm gonna disable it and see how that works.
After turning off Expanded Desktop the issue seems to be gone. Though when turned on again after some times the lag is still somewhat exist.
there's a Xposed module fix for this http://repo.xposed.info/module/fr.merams.r.deepscreenoreo
I am not sure if anyone has encountered these problems too but the Android 10 updates have ruined the phone for me.
Bugs I encountered and that I haven't found a fix for:
The keyboard annoys me to hell and back because of the gesture controls. I have been using gestures before Android 10 and I had no problems with the keyboard, but now the whole bottom area of the screen is like a mine field. It happens at least 3-4 times everyday to write something and when i hit space it would bring me to home screen and/or writing next letter in google search.
Not only I can't properly use the keyboard, but I can't long press the emoji in FB Messenger when the keyboard is not opened, it would just bring me back to last screen (it sees it as a back gesture). Basically can't interact with bottom buttons in most apps that use portrait mode because the phone sees them as gestures and it's driving me nuts
Since the update I had to restart my phone about once a week because of different bugs regarding Bluetooth (it would turn off and refuse to turn back on without a restart), sometimes the camera refuses to take more than one photo before the shutter button becomes unresponsive and I have to restart the app (to be able to take only one more photo) or restart the phone to fix the problem
The phone sometimes freezes and becomes unresponsive, requiring a forced restart or a normal restart if i wait 1 minute to open that option menu for turning the phone off. Also, it won't turn back on automatically and won't turn on for the next minute even if i manually hold the power button.
All these only occurred after updating to Android 10. It was a dream phone like my S7 edge was before updating to Android 10.
I wanted to switch to iPhone but I was amazed by the fact that my S7 edge had no problems during the 3 years I've used it and I decided to continue buying Samsung phones, but now I am seriously considering switching to another brand that uses Android (that I can't think of, keeping the same performance and build quality besides Huawei which is in a weird spot now) or permanently switching to iPhone.
I'd appreciate it if you knew any fixes to the bugs I listed above, I found nothing. If not, what can be done about these?

Samsung doesn't update own system apps from 2 months, and bugs listed by you are the inevitable result of this lack.
When Samsung will release a more heavy update (400MB or so, and not only 100MB of Google security patches) all these problems will vanishing, and anti-rollback protection will be restored.
P.S = Yesterday I've encounter a bug on Reminder app, that generate a Force Close (two times) when I tried to set a pre-suggested date.
