Usually when I am browsing through a long list or web page, I hold my finger on the screen. Screen will shake rapidly at this time. I have tried 3 of them and all having the same problem. Any solution to fix it?

If you mean something like a small change on screen brightness ,you can try to set brightness to full.That seems to worked for me.

I got this problem too

It might be a stupid suggestion, but when you hold your finger on the screen for more than 2-3 seconds, don't you start to mark the text? hence the screen picks up the minute shaking of your finger? If you move your finger without releasing the screen when it shakes I believe you start to mark text for copy/paste??
I might have misunderstood the problem entirely, so please be gentle

Got the same problem and looking for a solution.
The touch screen is really really bad i have a lot of problems with the touch screen. I don't know if it's software or hardware problem. SE doesn't say anything about this.
It's really annoying when playing games or typing really fast. it doesn't track your finger properly.
This has to take media attention so SE will be forced talk about it. i love that they are trying to be dev friendly at all. but this issue isn't making me happy.
I always do this when I browsing a long text and wanted to scroll slowly. The shaking problem always make me dizzy.
I also encounter problem with typing too.
probably a touch screen driver issue... it thinks your moving your finger up and down slightly when really it's stationary. just take your finger off of the screen when you want to read something. there's no need to have to keep your finger there anyways

It's not about putting your finger on the screen. there are serious problems with the touch screen. i made a youtube vids to show the problem
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwr0rFzCU4k
SE has to give answers about the problems i'm getting tired of the screen issues.
Try superpaint lite, it seems to be program's fault not the screen
I replied @ youtube and also putting it here. I tried it but it doesn't recognize if finger points switch to fast.
This also happens with all other apps and games like SE Launcher, Angry birds, taptap revolutions, GB keyboard ....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034319 here is also a thread
Just upgraded the firmware from SE and claimed to fix some bugs and improve stability. Nothing change for the touch screen issue. Don't know whether Sony didn't notice the problem or it's just an unfixable hardware defect.

The problem with touch screen depends on how you touch as well...
If you touch by your thumb with full finger touch, the sharking will occur, the more area that your finger attach to the screen mean more sharking
now change your habit, touch the screen with only by the edge of your finger or with your smaller finger the screen will hold stable.
Their a limit area of your finger attach to the screen so that the screen will keep stable, over that limit area the screen will sharking.

Zoom in?
I got a lot of this when browsing too. Esp. with opera, if I need to open it in new tab, I need a long press on link. And often if the icon/text isn't bigger than my finger touch size, the screen will shake.
Unfortunately, the best way I found is to zoom in.
hmmmm...
It's so sad that we need to change our behavior to coop with a device that supposed to make our life easier.
I find that all the embeded apps provided by SE do not have the shaking problem. I guess SE do know about the issue so they made some tweat on them.
My finger tips are quite larger (as I play bowling).

Its the stupid, thick, shatter proof film thats making touch functions go crazy. Peel that crap off your screen and the device will work as intended.
I had the same issue with my x10, because the film does not allow for a good connection between your finger and the screen, the screen detects multiple touches.
I removed the film (Thats does not protect against scratches and is actually more prone to them) and the screen was absolutely PERFECT.
Does HTC need a shatter proof film on their Mineral Glass? NO so neither does the Arc, just remove that junk and put a good screen protector on it.

Did for me, I am assuming you have a defective unit.
Do you mean there is a film that come with the phone? or film that added by myself?

I think you have misunderstood the problem of this thread.
Because you say that your old x10 had this problem as well?
Maybe I'm just retarded, but I can't seem to find the setting to recalibrate my screen.
It's been slightly annoying me because I bought one of those fancy adonit styluses, (The ones witht he plastic disc, supposed to be more precise), and it works great, however when I turn on the "show touches" function, the touch from the stylus ALWAYS registers slightly towards the edge of the screen.
If I touch in the center of my screen the touch registers dead on, but the closer I get to the edge screen, the further off it gets.
I've noticed something similar on my tablet. But in my case, the best alignment when showing touches is in the upper left corner of the screen. As I move farther down, the touches start to come up slightly down and right of where the stylus is touching the screen.
So It's been a couple of weeks and Ive still yet to find a way to fix this slightly annoying accuracy issue. Does anyone know a way of doing so?

Try flashing ts-20 from sfnub's thread, works better for me
Title says it. I am finding swiping in from the left (specifically for hamburger menus in apps) very difficult to do. Half the time it just seems to not register at the edge of the screen. I thought maybe it was my case, but it's just as difficult without the case. Some kind of edge rejection or maybe diminished touch sensitivity from the screen protector? I don't wanna remove it if I don't have to... Anyone else seen this?
Are you using a tempered glass screen protector?

Hmm, because I have the exact same issue as you with my TG screen protector.
It's pretty damn annoying, even had to switch launchers because I can't use swipes from the edge anymore :/
Yes, exactly the same issue. I'm guessing that's a bezel less design flaw if OP5T and it cannot be fixed with software patch. I can live with this issue
Same thing here. I just thought it was from having the case on, and so I didn't bother trying to experiment with it more until now.
Don't know what's wrong with your 5T's because case/screen protector or not I have no problem swiping down from the top, bottom, from the left or from the right on my 5T...
I opened play store and pull the menu from the left with no issues and also the notification bar from the top.
If you are having problems this does not seem to be the norm for me but then again maybe mine is the aberrant unit... It works fine...

I have to be very deliberate with my swipes from the left and I'm guessing it's in part because of the small bezels and my fat fingers. So when I swipe in, it doesn't see my finger as being all the way to the left, so it becomes difficult to swipe the hamburger menus in.
What I don't know if it's because of the bezels directly or if the screen protector is making it worse. And I don't want to take it off to test because then I will need to get a new (potentially inferior) screen protector and hope I can apply it without any bubbles.

Again, my screen protector is stock applied from Oneplus, I am by no means a small person and have ham fists too. The bezels on the right should be the same size or the phone would look pretty funny...
Either side to swipe is the same, quick swipe from left or right, top or bottom, all work equally well.
How does yours swipe from the other sides? Do you have an issue swiping from top or bottom too?
It shouldn't matter where you swipe from, it should be the same. Quick and easy with no having to try again and again.

No I don't have any issues from the other directions because I don't have to swipe in menus from those sides. Swiping between home screens is no issue, it's just hamburger menus on the left. And I think it's because the bezel is so small that my fat fingers taps don't register far enough over, so I swipe and get no menu unless I am very deliberate. On my last phone, the Nexus 6, I never had to think about it.
I have some issues swiping on a certain edge of my screen were I can see that the pre-applied screen protector is starting to come up a little from the screen. I'm thinking of pulling it completely off soon.
Got the phone few days ago. Most of the time, fingerprint works on first or second attempts. But now and then it takes 4-5 attempts. and on two occasions i had to try 8-9 times to get it to work. Is it a problem only i am facing or its a common problem? i already updated phone after buying. should i get it replaced or it will be ok with next update
Thanks.
common problem i think. not as fast as the previous one on N9
Well, it is not widespread or "common", some users complain about this, but this issue has been discussed at lenght since the first days of this device, do a search, you will find some useful tips, My sensor is very fast and accurate, I think it depends on several factors, temp, moisture, the way you registered the fingers, screen protectors, etc
Also, register the same finger multiple times... I believe you can add 5 fingerprints....
I understand what you are talking about. I was so frustrated with the phone when I first got it. I deleted all my finger prints and then set them up again. Make sure to slowly follow the fingerprint instructions when adding. I added multiple fingers and some more than once. I have not had any issues since. I have also read some people say remove the factory screen protector. I still have mine on with no issues. Good luck!

did you have the same issue as mine? like u had to make several attempts and sometimes even 8-9 times to make it work?
only time I've had problems with mine is when my hands have been extremely dry, putting slight moisture on my finger can make it scan better, but for the most part it works perfect unless I'm somewhere hot and dry.
I have similar issues when I have a screen protector on the phone. Sometimes I have to press multiple times, sometimes I have to press harder. Finally going without anything on the screen and the sensor works like a charm.
Screen touch sensitivity.
On my Note 10+ 5G (SM-N976U) I have a setting on the Display page (scroll down near the bottom) that increases touch sensitivity specifically for use with screen protectors. The screen itself is Gorilla Glass 6, which is twice as strong as Gorilla Glass 5, so, if you are the careful sort, you can get by without a glass protector. Even with an extra curved glass protector, with touch sensitivity turned up, I can use light gloves & still the capacitance works fine.
Touch sensitivity has nothing to do with the fingerprint sensor.
Mine works perfect with screen protector. Sure if you put new screen peotector, it takes time to recognise finger. But when protector sits perfect than no prob at all.

the sensor works well as long as you don't have dry hands, lick your finger/thumb and it will work every time, sad but true. it's something I realise after it working flawlessly while drinking in a beer garden with condensed glasses but the rest of the time it was hit and miss. seems if your skin is too dry it doesn't read well, but add a bit moisture and it works perfectly. guess it has something to do with the technology in the new sensor using vibration instead of imaging.

Yes, lick your finger everytime you want it to work in the midst of a pandemic that seems to be spread by the virus getting transmitted from the hands to the face everytime you touch it...

Excellent advice from ultramag69, this mostly solved my problem, but I'm not happy with Samsung, This problem should not happen on such an expensive device from a famous brand

The other advice I've found is to set up multiple finger prints with the same finger (you can usually set 5 fingerprints). This will improve the hit rate of the fingerprint sensor...

Yes it's maximum 4 on this device, it helps a little also
I had the 4 XL from release until I got the 6 Pro a few weeks ago and all the styluses I have and even my finger will often click an item or link instead of scrolling the page up or down. Never saw this on the 4 XL.
No, I don't have a screen protector.
Yeah, have this too. If I want to go a page back it sometimes goes two steps back and the vibration Motor counts 2 times instead of 1 time. Very bad feeling. So if I'm in a Signal or WhatsApp conversation and I want to go back to main window I land on my desktop. That Happens a lot to me and I can't find an option for this. Sometimes on pages where I wanna get down I also click on links. Same thing like you.
Does not happen to me whatsoever. I love my pixel 6 pro.
No problem like that for me. Do you have a screen protector?
Nope, no screen protector.
I'm unable to replicate this
Happens every 5 to 8 times. It's not so cool. I reduced the sensitivity of gesture's. Don't know.

Nope, no screen protector. I've been pretty lucky and never really scratched my screens. I've tried the hard class and the film type protectors in the past but I'm old enough now. I think I'll just get a new phone if I really scratch it. It's so much nicer using the phone without a case or screen protector. I just use the lens cloth pouch when I put it in my pocket.

I don't know what to tell you guys. It happens a couple times a day. I might be able to go a day without it happening. Maybe the rounded edges are touching my hand at the same time. I'm using my other finger or stylus or something. I don't know. All I know is none of the other phones I had and I've had basically every single Google phone, didn't do this that I can remember.
I'm having the same issue. Very annoyed how often it happen during games. Notice it most play Hill Climb Racing 2. I hope it is just a software issue.
Google support couldn't help. I recognize that I had enabled the dev. options Window animation scale to 0.5 to speed up things. So I disabled the developer options and set everything back to 1.0 . This helped a little bit because of the slow speed of animations. But I recognize the vibration motor often to count 2 times instead of 1. But with slow speed in animations its not so critical. But if you say u don't have it... Just join Gmail and swipe back, 20 times, I think u recognize maybe one or two times that the vibration counts 2 times, you will feel it. Just try it. But with everything on standard you will maybe not see this problem but you will feel it. I hope it's a software thing.
yeah I have the same at times although not that often, it seems to occur when you are clicking on something on the rounded edge, I was clicking on something the other day and it bumped me to home in the browser, and I don't believe I clicked near the home button, zoomed in on the page and then was fine
I see it when just scrolling in news feeds. It will randomly open the link where I totally clicked and dragged. My 4XL never did this and it had a screen protector. It did not work well with a stylus until using the Increase Touch Sensitivity setting. I tried it on the 6 Pro just to see and it did not help.
Same story, the screen is too sensitive although the setting for it is off. It's highlighting the text or hitting the links while scrolling in browser or Amazon or anywhere else. I have hydrogel screen protector installed. Very annoying.
