After posting that mine started up again after a factory reset...it quickly went away and hasn't been a problem for five days...I hope this post doesn't jinx it! If it's hardware, it's certainly not consistent. And the factory rest most definitely made it better.

My biggest problem came after installing Good Lock from the Samsung App Store...no proof that was the problem, but they announced an update to that UI has been updated and a couple of the updates are around the recent apps.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jrwingate6:
I can confirm this is a software issue. The update Tmobile just pushed out fixed this issue for everyone.

Palm taps along the edge no longer register. The screen no longer registers a tap without even touching it. Scrolling is much easier and it will no longer register as a accidental tap. Typing is so much easier now that the display is no longer super sensitive. Also haptic feedback feels much more accurate and is not so strong.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] stecklars:
That sounds good! Hopefully I'll receive the update soon...

I got the Galaxy s7 yesterday and the split screen thing keeps popping up. I downloaded the toggle app and that keeps the message from popping up but you can feel it vibrate when it is still trying to open the split screen. I am taking it back today for a new one
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] spectrumfox:
From what I hear it's not a hardware problem, it's a software problem. Chances are, replacing the phone will not help.

We just have to be patient for the patch to reach all carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] spectrumfox:
For anyone who is curious, the change log for AT&T's Galaxy S7/S7 Edge April Update has been posted. And it does appear to resolve the split screen view randomly activating problem.

Software update includes

Performance enhancements:

DTV Widget added to HomeScreen +1

Improves home and volume keys responsiveness

Improves WIFI performance when using BTLE

Other performance and security enhancements

I got the PD1 update a week ago, this issue only poped up about once per week for me, but after the update, seems to be gone :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] stecklars:
As described, Problem fixed after software upgrade. Yay
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] hedpa009:
I just got mine yesterday afternoon and i installed the update before going to bed. Not knowing about the issue, this morning i noticed that the multi task window bug was going nuts...

mines is not as bad as some of you have posted, but it does occur when i am handling my phone with my hands...some times even when its just laying on a flat surface.

so whats next? wait and see if getting a case will fix the sensitivity issue? should i just go ahead and factory reset? (T-Mobile variant)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] spectrumfox:
It's been confirmed that the latest update has fixed this problem, so if you are still experiencing it after updating then I would contact T-Mobile for an exchange, or contact Samsung for a repair.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] hedpa009:
will do thx :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] iamethanchen:
I had a T-Mobile S7 Edge with the same issues and thought the update released in April would fix it. However, when I checked the baseband it didn't end with PD1 or PD7, instead it was C7 or something. Thus, that is why the update everyone was talking about in April did not fix my phone and I am guessing your phone as well. However, T-Mobile released another update in the beginning of May that ends in PD7. I can confirm that it has been past a week now and my phone has stopped the false recent app presses along with occassional freezes with loud beep when watching a youtube video. I thought the issue was hardware related for my T-Mobile S7 Edge, but it appears it is also software related, it's just that the first update pushed out by T-Mobile did not address the issue, unlike updates from other carriers, until this recent update in May. Hope this helps, because I called T-Mobile to process a replacement, but in return I would get a refurbished phone. I wanted to keep my phone, which I got brand new, that I have taken care of instead of a refurbished replacement so this worked out for me. Hope this helps any other T-Mobile S7 Edge users that were still facing an issue with false recent app presses.

Same Issue + melting charger

I'm having the same issue where the recent apps button keeps glitching and activating completely on it's own even with the phone up to date.

This issue first appeared when I put it in water so I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it (Which would be laughable due to the heavy 'water resistant' marketing).

It tried factory resetting the phone like someone else did but the issue still persists.

On a slightly different topic, I recently also had my samsung fast charger melt on the micro usb end, while it was charging my phone overnight. This left very noticeable burn marks on the back and front of the phone where the charging port is.

Feeling fed-up with this phone already and considering the switch to Apple in future.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] neoescundo:
I had mine factory reset, and its on PD1 firmware at the moment. Still happening 80% of the time. Besides, this false recent app bug DOES NOT only affects Fingerprint unlock, but it affects while on call, you remove your ears from the earphone. It will trigger the recent apps button as well. It is really annoying!

It also happens when you listen to voice recording from Whatsapp. Put your ears on the earphone and remove it, this will trigger the button as well. Samsung, Seriously?

Weird thing is, my colleague's S7 Edge with the same firmware did not experience all these at all
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] iamethanchen:
Same here. I'm on PD8 and I mentioned that it fixed the problem earlier, but it has come back. I am thinking the phones still affected are suffering from hardware rather than software issue. In any case I'm gonna call Samsung up when I find it too annoying to deal with. Hopefully I won't have to pay for shipping my device to them and they'll provide a prepaid shipping label..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] libb:
I told you that it is a hardware issue. Samsung released some software fix but I think that there is some faulty sensor which sends an extra signal even you don't touch it. OK, Samsung added some conditions but if the hardware is buggy there is no way how fix it by software patch perfectly.

I returned my phone, bought a new one and with the same firmware and software I don't have any issue.

Still, it is crazy wait more that ona month to fix for such expensive device, isn't?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] DCLonghorn:
It was not hardware on my end. All software. And I haven't had an issue since I last posted about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] simplyaddo:
Has anyone come across a sure solution to this. I have an S7 Edge Duos (dual sim G935FD) with the June security patch and still face this issue.

One question, what´s the collor of the phone of the ones whos having the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ibrahimqureshae:
What i think is that it might be due to moisture, registering the touches again and again. Download GMD Gesture app from google play, disable the long press function of the key thats bothering you. Or disable the key and use a gesture for that function. Put ur phone out for sun. And continue using it. The problem will go away
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Lieutenantdaan:
Mine was black

---------- Post added at 08:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 AM ----------

I actually did all that, but problem didn't go away

Poor from Samsung as its supposed to be a water resistant phone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] arnes_king:
Hello,

Yes, it is from moisture. I know that because I had my phone 2 times in a swimming pool. First time everything was OK. Second time again in the pool all was OK, but after I dried the phone I started to have the same issue. Luckily for me after i left the phone to dry a little longer, the problem got away and never returned...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ibrahimqureshae:
+1, The problem goes away with everyday 15 to 20 min sun, and normal use while disabling keys with GMD App. Thats how many people solved it. Be patient and wait for it to go away. It will.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] DCLonghorn:
I never had the problem again since the last time I posted on it. For me it seemed to be driven by an app install. As soon as I got rid the Samsung Good Lock.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] arnes_king:
But, now I am afraid of getting my phone wet again, I get it wet but a little and under controlled circumstances, last time I was jumping with it in the pool and filming it, also diving. This was for sure the reason why some water leaked somewhere where it started to make trouble. I think if I take care it wont happen again, but I want to ask if there is someone who had this happening to him more than 1 time, if it will really go away everytime. And if leaked somewhere where it causes those soft keys to malfunction, what does that mean, can the water leak to other more vulnerable sections of the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ibrahimqureshae:
Yes. It will go away. It may come back temporary. But it will be fixed. Give it a sun bath daily. For 20 to 30 minutes. And avoid using the keys. Keep them disabled. It will go away. Lets hope!

I Think Samsung solved the problem secretly.

I had a clue that was something related with the silver color, something with reflection of the multiwindow key inside. I was wrong because a member of the forum said his was black.

Until yesterday, as you can see in my latest posts, I was suffering with the issue almost every time I unlocked the phone with fingerprint.

Today misteriously it disapeared. I tried 100 times, or more, and nothing.

So I noticed something. I use the vibration of the buttons on (multiwindow, back and drawer button). Thats an option in sound and vibration configs. I like it on because it gives you a response that you pressed the touch button.

But today, misteriously, the vibration of the press are a lot more weak. Until yesterday it was a strong vibration response. Today you can barely feel it. And the topic issue is gone.

Is it possible they updated the system rogue at night?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nguyeti:
I don't think so. It would be pretty serious if it was a rogue update
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Franciskano:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] rahulng:
Possible cause?

Hi guys, I a not facing this issue personally, but I just realized (not sure if this is known to everyone already cos I just bought this phone a couple of days ago) that if you touch the home key and the recents key together for a couple of seconds, it minimizes the window you are viewing on your screen. Could this be causing the random multi-window activation that so many of you seem to be seeing?

Once again, am new to this phone so am not sure if this is something commonly known. I had not come across any such setting so I thought maybe its an unlisted shortcut. Am using the unlocked US S7 Edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] simplyaddo:
I can say with confidence that this issue has little to do with water. I started having this issue before I ever exposed the phone to any water (not even splashes). I continue to have this issue. My phone would be sitting on the desk as I watch Netflix, and the phone would go in to multi-window mode.

The only way to suppress this for me was to download this app that disables the multiwindow feature until the next restart.

So unfortunate that Samsung hasn't addressed this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dynospectrum:
all you have to do is disable multi-window in quick settings lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] simplyaddo:
And where is that setting?

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

There is no Multiwindow option in the S7 edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Lieutenantdaan:
Yeah

I couldn't find any such option as well
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dynospectrum:
Toggle was enabled on the ROM I'm running, my mistake. Use this app to disable multi-window ;]

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] simplyaddo:
Yea, that's what I am using. Have to keep remembering to turn it off after any device restarts.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dynospectrum:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] DCLonghorn:
After a long happy period of not having this issue anymore, it's starting to happen again. Definitely software, and not totally resolved with previous updates. A restart seems to help, but not a complete solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] paul0813:
I have this problem too... felt like a ghost spamming the recent app button. Sometimes it really goes complete nuts.

Anyways, the factory reset didn't work for me. So, I downloaded the 'All in one gesture' app and disabled the recent button. Now I have to long press to get to recent apps.

The 'phantom recent app pressing problem' is no more... for now...

I will have to wait and see if this is a temporary or a permanent fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mac.os.x:
Thats what i think, depends on rom your running wether its enabled or not, and also touchwiz, has gotta go, switching launchers also helps a bunch, no matter what rom your on. Personally, i think ima trade my s6 off asap because of the glitch. Unless theres a permanent fix. Which i doubt, the only thing permanent you can do is take your phone apart and mess with the hardware if you know what you're doing shrugs. I'm pretty good with Hardware so I really thought about doing that today actually cuz I'm actually using the S6 it's my main phone right now but the pixel launcher running TDH Sky High it's not doing so bad it's only happened once
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] karimou89:
Solution

So Finally i did Found The Solution it's a Moisture ( wetness ) Problem

All You have to do is to Shut Down Your Phone Then Put it in a Rice Bag at Least 4 Days

Then put it under Sun's Heat for like 6 Hours ( 3hours For each Side )

& That's All Enjoy Your Phone Working Like Before

i Hope that will help You

[Hardware Hacking General] recyclojunk:
Hi all

I have a Runbo X5 rugged smartphone which I need to replace the back 8MP camera module, as I ended up breaking it while repairing the USB port on the phone (just a slight knock took the top of the camera module off and broke the focus wires and springs :crying:).

[IMG="Disassembled Runbo X5 Camera Module"]http://imgur.com/sGaFtMm.jpg[/IMG]

The back of the ribbon cable to the camera module reads WDSOL934105-V1 YW (I guess this probably doesn't matter). The back of the image sensor which I desoldered from the ribbon cable reads W F OV8825, which is a 8MP BSI-cmos sensor which works with a MIPI interface according to the product overview: www.ovt.com/products/sensor.php?id=179

[IMG="MediaTek chips"]http://imgur.com/EY5moOH.jpg[/IMG]

The phone is based on the MTK6577 / MT6577 platform I believe. It also runs android 4.0.4 (and is rooted) if it makes any difference.

[IMG="Where the camera connects (under the can is the CB radio module)"]http://imgur.com/SIXBQWc.jpg[/IMG]

I am hoping that I can just buy any 8MP camera module from Aliexpress which has the same size and number of pins and solder it onto the ribbon cable and expect it to have the same pinout and work flawlessly? Or will I have to purchase an exact replacement with the same OV8825 sensor model number? The other thing that bugs me is the mention of a 256-byte embedded OTP memory in the image sensor for PN identification, would it be likely that the phone's firmware would check if that matches the original one and reject it if it doesn't? Also, while I'm at it would it be likely that a similar 13MP camera module might work as well? As the newest version of this phone comes with one (and the older version of the runbo X5 came with a 5mp camera so maybe it is changeable?)

[IMG="Inside the phone"]http://imgur.com/FbHUOkv.jpg[/IMG]

Thanks for any advice :)

Josh
[Hardware Hacking General] 西村大一:
I'd personally stick with the same OV8825 sensor and just resolder it on the flat flex. Why?

-the drivers are (kinda) hard to replace, and are not like those for Windows, not very straight forward

-the pinout is likely to be different from the OV8825 to the OV13870

-the camera controller on the PCB is unlikely to be the same for the 8825 and for the 13870

-the size of the actual module may be bigger

Overall, if you feel adventurous or just plain want to experiment, you may go ahead and order the OV13870 from wherever you want and share the results with us.

I couldnt seem to charge my kaiser through my PC's USB. it doesnt charge when I plug in. I couldnt charge with my old wizard charger as well, i can only charge with the charger that came with the kaiser. anyone has the same issue?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Moaske:
It's terribly slow on USB, but it does work with mine... But it seems the kaiser needs quite some milliamps of current to get charged....: more than the average USb port delivers (hence, that's why only the supplied charger charges fast enough) i guess... :)
