Question Samsung Galaxy S23 Unresponsive Touch / Double Tap Problem - Samsung Galaxy S23

Hi, i recently purchased the regular Samsung Galaxy S23 and i have some weird issues with the touch.
The most annoying one is when i get out of an app say for instance 9gag/instagram and then i attempt to lock the screen by double tapping, sometimes one of the taps isn't registered and as you might expect, nothing happens. This also happens when trying to like a post on instagram, or anything related to the double tap.
Another issue occurs sometimes, when i try to just tap something, sometimes i have to tap like 2 or 4 times for the tap to register, as if i didn't tap correctly.
I tried enabling Touch Sensitivity but it didn't help at all.
I wonder if anyone else occured this problem and fixed it, or if it's just my phone. I recently applied a screen protector, hoping the issue was more about the screen being too slippery, but it didn't seem to help at all.
P.S it's a model manufactured in april, not the one with the banana camera issue.

Put into safe mode and see if a 3rd party app causing the issue. If so... take out the trash.
Try clearing the system cache.
Try a hard reboot.
Did you use SmartSwitch?

Will clear system cache soon. Rebooted the phone a few times, what do you mean by "hard reboot"?
I'm googling how to get into safe mode, it's a very good idea, thank you.
Haven't really used SmartSwitch, because i had a lot of bloat on my s10+. Started from scratch. Used SmartSwitch just for pictures and contacts.

Simulates pulling the battery. Probably not needed.

I keep all social media, shopping and banking apps off the phone. Browser login only.

Never use it for critical data; it can fail you miserably. Use Samsung Contacts to import/export contacts and create backup files. Copy/paste critical data then verify file size and if readable. Make at least 2 redundant copies on drives that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.
It's possible using SmartSwitch goofed up the load. I've used it and it's predecessor Kies, both are buggy particularly if going between different models or OS versions. I may need to reload one of my N10+'s because of that Best thing to do is not to use it and put together a complete, organized critical data backup plan then refresh it regularly.

Okay so i used safe mode for like an hour and then reverted to regular. I can't seem to tell if it's fixed or any different, because this doesn't happen "all the time". I will give it some time and then i'll come with a better response.

Another thought came to me..
What if the double tapping issue comes from when i do the first tap of the double tap, i somehow do a little swipe down and the phone registers it as such? Is there a way to reduce the slipperiness/smoothness of the screen to counteract this? i wouldn't mind if my screen would be less smooth, but i feel like this would really help.

I think it's probably a 3rd party app.
I don't like gesture navigation as they implemented it at all. On my N10+'s I use Galaxy Store Good Lock Navstar and One Handed Operation plus which is the gesture navigation I use. On a large the side gesture navigation works better for me but I use the virtual buttons a lot too.

I am also using goodlock with onehanded operations and other stuff. I'll keep switching between safemode and normal mode to notice any differences

You can use the app I showed to replace the lame Google gestures with virtual keys. One handed Operation plus is much better for gesture navigation and more customizable.
What it looks like... can be adjusted so it's not light up like a Christmas tree.

Multi window Pop-up question

Hi,
The main thing I love the Galaxy Notes is the multi-window feature. Especially the pop-up window option.
I've had a chance to try out the Note 8. Apparently the pop-up multi-window feature give you a small pop-up window with every item in the app still being very large like it was full screen (large font, large buttons, ... the same thing Windows computers do when you make an app smaller). My old Note 3 gives you a pop-up window which actually make every aspect of the app look smaller. I hope I'm making myself clear.
Is there a way to get that Note 3 scaling effect on the pop-up multi-window feature of the Note 8?
This is what a pop-up on the Note 3 looks like:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is what it looks like on the Note 8:
Thanks!
I think what you're looking for is in Settings / advanced options / multiwindow.

No I don't think you've understood my question.
I know the Note 8 has the option for multiwindow, but I want to know if there's an app or xposed module or whatever available to scale down the pop-up windows like it was on the Note 3.

that's not what he means.
on old Samsung phones that function would shrink the window as-is, so the app would still draw as if it's fullscreen while it's actually shrunken down to a quarter of its normal size.
this would result in smaller buttons and text.
on newer Samsung phones the app is informed that the resolution has changed, allowing it to adjust.
this can cause apps to reload when resizing them, and buttons and text don't shrink.
unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to revert to the old behavior.

Thanks for that, then I guess the Note 8 isn't for me then
Any idea if there are other phones who do that?
What app have you found that doesn't re-size? Whatsapp, for example, shrinks nicely. Messages, all shrinks.. The screenshot you posted of the Note 8 is not what my phone looks like.

Could you maybe post a screenshot of how it looks on your Note 8?
Here... Not the best, but you can see Google drive has resized.
I've edited your screenshot. Look at the red box.
If you maximize that app to full screen, is the stuff in the red box bigger or the same size?
Ok, correct. That bit doesn't change. The rest does, the plus button and the other text, but not the top.

That's what I mean. And if you open up a window and scale it down to the smallest size possible, those buttons and text can really get in your way (depending on the app).
On the Note 3 those buttons actually scale down as well.
Fingers crossed for an update then! I like the feature but I can understand why it's annoying, but it's not bothering me too much.

I highly doubt this will get updated. It's been like that in all the latest Galaxy phones. It's Android's implementation of multi-window. It saves Samsung a lot of time and money not having to code that stuff themself.
So if the community doesn't come up with some kind of mod, this won't change.
That's a shame then. The apps I like to use in popup do work nicely, I love having the notes pop up floating so I can just quickly use it during the day.
Is there an app or mod to allow all the apps to the multi-window view? Because out of the box not all the apps are supported ...

Don't need an app like you did with LL & MM, there's a setting in Developer Options now but like in the past, doesn't mean all unsupported apps will work/resize fine when forced.

[APP] SideSqueeze 2.08 - add squeeze gestures to your Note8!

What is SideSqueeze?
SideSqueeze is an innovative and unique app that uses the barometric pressure sensor in your device to detect squeezes and screen presses. It is compatible only with Samsung Galaxy devices from 2017 onwards, although some people have reported varying degrees of success with Pixel devices.
What It Does
SideSqueeze gives your S8/S9/S10 series Galaxy the ability to respond to squeezes, double squeezes, triple squeezes, quadruple squeezes, long squeezes, and/or inertial squeezes, as well as force presses on the screen. For example, you can double squeeze your phone to activate Google Assistant...or maybe you'd like to quadruple squeeze to toggle auto-rotation. And now with Tasker integration, you can even create elaborate tasks to do just about anything and trigger them with any type of squeeze! SideSqueeze's new modular GUI allows you to pick and choose what you want to do with ease.
Features (not all available in trial version)
7 detectable squeeze types (single, double, triple, quadruple, long, long double-squeeze, and inertial)
3 detectable press types (single, long, and 2-finger)
Independently selectable criteria allow you to assign multiple actions to any trigger type (if lockscreen open, if homescreen open, if camera open, if S-Pen detached, if within 5-seconds of power on, if the phone is ringing, if in-call, or if screen is off)
New app picker to launch any app of your choosing
Tasker integration to launch any task of your choosing
Quick Settings tile to toggle detection engine
Wide selection of common actions, such as flashlight toggling, status bar toggling, etc
Adjustable pressure thresholds
Calibration assistant to customize SideSqueeze to your device's unique characteristics
Efficient detection algorithm that is designed to be as lightweight and low-power as possible with no significant impact on battery life
Questions?
See the in-app Help section for answers to commonly asked questions.
Where do I get it?
SideSqueeze 2 is now available on the Play store!

Interesting concept, but I think it's wrong. It's using the touch screen pressure as it's gauge from what testing and results I could fetch.
Correct me if am wrong but I didn't think devices had a sensor for pressure in the reference made out in this app???...

The app detects squeezes by monitoring the barometric pressure sensor inside your sealed device. An algorithm looks for changes of the proper type and magnitude that correspond to squeezing the sides, and an action is performed. Once you learn how to squeeze it, I find it to be reliable. The FAQ (and video clip) describe how best to do it.
wonderfull app man...i'm tested now and work very well
it will be possible to add own applications?

Thank you! Yes, I'll be adding that soon.
Please add support for Tasker. It would be nice to be able to configure the squeeze on a per app basis.
I wanted to give it a try, but it says that the early access program is currently full
I have expanded the limit, and am working on bug fixes.
Great app! Can you provide us .apk so we can test on other devices? Play Store says app is not compatible with my SGS7.
I tried it and the squeezing is wildly inconsistent. On top of that it activates even when I'm scrolling the screen with one hand. Great concept, but doesn't work very well sorry.

That doesn't sound normal, and I'm not sure why. I'll let you know if I find anything out. What device/OS are you using?
Amazing... impressive how it work well, I have a note 8 and use the app all day long, no bugs until now.
Please make more options, like turn off the screen and shooting selfies on camera.

It will not work with a case on, as the dev said, it detects slight changes within the frame, which would be absorbed by your case, and thus not transmitted to the body of the phone itself

What kind of case?
the adb command "adb shell sh /sdcard/grant" returns a "no such file or directory"
nvm it works now after the update. thanks
I like the idea of it, I'm not facing any trouble when I remove my case and SQUEEZE! However, while using the Stand case for the note 8 (made by Samsung) I can't get it to work.
works with cases, just adjust sensitivity. one thing i noticed is that app gets killed quite easily.i have to constantly relaunch it. other than that, i feel like i have a pixel 2!
thanks

Just a couple of little "complaints" about the phone.

First let me apologize if this is not the correct location on the forum to post this. I by am no means looking to bash the phone just had some questions that maybe some people may be able to help me with. I understand this is not Touchwiz so it is different, and these are very minor issues nothing that I could not learn to adjust to.
1) Notification drop down. Though I do like the "gesture" style notification drop down. Before I could use the finger print scanner to drop down to notification tab is there another shortcut way to make this happen similar to the finger print way on the S8+? I may be able to do in in Nova but will need to mess with it to figure it out.
2) Brightness bar. Does anyone know how to get the brightness bar to possible show up in the notification without it being pulled down all the way?
3) Home button. I can't seem to find a way to press the home button when in a full screen game app. Meaning prior I was able to press the location and then it would still work. Now I have to swipe up to show the nav bar and then press it.
4)LTE+ This is one isn't a complaint just a question about since I got the unlocked instead of Verizon it shows LTE+ vs 4G doing a quick search it seems to be ok just wanted some clarification.
Other then those few things I noticed over all I am happy the phone is a lot quick and better then my previous. Though at the same time nothing super new to really "wow" me I was already more then happy with the S8+ and the S10+ is a very good evolution. The hole punch is really not as bad as some others may have feared. The finger print does take a little time to get used to but seems to work about 85% success mostly do to slightly off placement. Having the extra cameras is great and so far a nice upgrade from my S8+. Again not really complaining but maybe there is toggle that I may have missed that could have fixed my little issues.
1. Use the swipe down gesture in nova launcher to pull it down, not as nice as FP sensor gesture i know :/
2. You can do this by checking the setting for 'Show Control on Top' when you expand the brightness control
3. If you are using the gestures for navigation you would swipe from where the home button would be if it were held in portrait, so typically on the right when gaming. just play with it.

Thanks, I actually used an an BX actions to remap the button on my S8+ decided to pay for the full feature and now I mapped it to drop down notifications so thats all set. Thanks found the control option by clicking on the arrow. As for my third the more I use both pbones it might be good to swipe up for the buttom. No more accidental presses when in full screen. So it looks like the phones grade is moving up ?. Thanks for the reply.
Pull down the notification all the way. Next to the brightness bar you will see a little down arrow, press that and there it is.

Oh, this is good to know. This is one of the reasons I switch launchers. I'm so used to swipe up anywhere for apps and down anywhere for notifications. This is even more natural to me than the fingerprint reader swipe, but of course the fingerprint reader let you do it in any app which is a big difference.
As for #4 since no one answered, the unlocked version is just being more specific. The US carriers usually replace the specific technology type (LTE, LTE+, etc) with generic "4G" branding (or 5GE if you're a jackass).
I just paid for full BXActions and I was able to remap bixby to double tap to drop the notification. Before I was happy with the free version but deff worth the extra few bucks. I can map more tap types.

I just followed your lead cflip2x and paid for the full version of BXActions and it's (obviously) ideal for this phone. Struggling to attach a single tap action to the bixby button though since whatever I try only seems to activate on a double tap. I need to find the right forum to discuss that issue but it's a great app.

In Nova Beta 6.1 you don't need Tesla anymore, there is an option in the notification which uses the default Pie notification (numbered) system. Starting tomorrow Tesla won't be available on Playstore due to Google new restrictions.

Question only 4 apps lock to RAM on 16GB RAM?

Hello
anyone noticed why it's only possible to lock 4 apps to RAM on the 16GB/512GB S21 Ultra? I do have 8-9GB RAM FREE after I locked 4 apps that I could use to lock more apps...what is Samsung thinking with that brutal limitation? also only possible to lock 1 app on the regular S21 with 8GB is also very stupid...

Are your apps getting killed if you don't lock them in RAM? How many apps do you intend to keep locked in RAM all the time? I'm just asking out of curiosity as I've never used this feature before and would like to know where this would be useful. I only have a 12GB variant though.

no but sometimes I have alot of apps in the list that I don't bother swiping to remove and just press close all and the apps I choose to lock stays in the list...I just think it's a waste of RAM not to be able to lock more apps when it clearly could take more, they also removed the feature were you could lock apps to the recent menu without locking it to RAM.
it's useful for example if I don't lock the Internet browser to RAM and if I start writing something on forum or whatever and if I close the browser by swiping it from the recent list and open it again it reloads the page and removes what I wrote.

Ahhh...Ok. Got it.
What happens if you don't swipe to kill apps at all?
Like you said, what's the point of having so much RAM if you don't even use it? All your used apps will stay in that huge RAM right? Including your browser and any other apps that you deem critical (you could also add them to the list of never sleeping apps under battery settings)...
And if there's an app that you always kill out of habit after exiting (that you don't want running in the backgrounnd), just add it to the deep sleeping apps list and the phone will auto disable it once it goes to background.
I know it's not what you're looking for, but I think it will acheive the same result. Just trying to think of alternatives to the lock-in-RAM thingy. I'm not sure if you can lock more than Samsung permitted number of apps in RAM without root.

if I don't swipe to kill apps they stay in the RAM but sometimes I just want to clear the recent apps and then it closes the apps that are not locked into RAM.
yes there is no other way to do this unfortunately if Samsung won't release firmware update that allows for more apps to be locked to RAM, it does not matter what I do now, if I close all apps in recent list then they get killed.

Please bear with me if this seems like the dumbest post in the world.
Ok, so right up until a few weeks ago, i loved the split screen feature on my phone. It was as easy as hitting the square button on the bottom, choosing split screen on one app, app folds itself up creating a space below, and then selecting another app to share the screen with. Easy peezee. Could have a video playing in VLC while perusing rss feeds in Newsfold, either on top of one another in portrait mode or side by side in landscape etc. Even my long dead grandmama could do this.
Fast forward to one day last month, i download some usual pixel update prompted by phone, only to discover my oft used split screen is now no more, but now "split top". It doesn't split the screen like it used to do, and i can't figure out how this split top thing is supposed to work. Plus it always says "Pixel Launcher keeps stopping" after several attempts to use the split top function, which is indicating that Pixel Launcher has crashed. But i din't use Pixel Launcher or have it as my default, i've always used Nova Launcher.
Basically i was doing just fine until whatever this update (which i am assuming is 12L) that has ruined split screen for me.
Is there a way to go back to the old split screen way? Or, how the heck do you split screen with this "split top"? I searched around the web and can't seem to find a solution.
I'm really not enjoying my device or being as productive as i used to be.
Hello @LordLugard I just registered to reply here.
After wasting so much time trying to fix this bug on my end, and several factory resets where it didn't fail at the beginning but then it eventually did, I found the solution on another post of a different forum:
-Turn ON system animations.
That's it. That's how it got solved. If you turn them off, the new split screen doesn't work at all. I'm afraid this must be an Android 12.1 bug because I had the exact same bug in a Poco F2 Pro with Lineage 19.1 and Trebuchet as launcher, so it's not phone model specific, not ROM specific, and not even launcher specific.
I hope this helps someone

Thanks for the reply.
Where would you "Turn ON system animations"?
I have it in:
"Settings/Accessibility/Text And Display/Remove Animations"
I had this switch on (meaning no animations), what caused split screen to crash. Turning it off solved it.
Hmmm, doesn't work for me. Mine was already in the "OFF" position.
What the heck was ever wrong with the old simple way? It just worked.

Bummer, sorry that it didn't help. It just did for me.
I don't think so, but maybe you activated Developer options, and then changed the value of the animations scales?
Just to discard animation related settings.
I'm afraid I'm of no help beyond that
Well, what do you know...a bit of success.
Since time immemorial, i've always turned off animations in Developer Options to 0, as i do not care for all the fluffy visuals.
So on a whim i decided to tinker and set it to the lowest value, 0.5x, and that seems to work now. But the implementation is so much different than the old way, will take some getting used to. The old method was so much better.
Thanks for the input.
I'm glad it helped at the end!
I fully agree on everything, I don't want animations either, but we're stuck with them if we want split screen as long as they keep this bug...
Also not a fan of this new and worse split screen method. You press Home and both apps are gone.

1,000% this. I'll be returning my brand-new Pixel 6 and returning to my old phone which will never even be eligible for A12
