If you have a mobile with a curved screen, like the Motorola Edge, Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra or Xiaomi Mi Note 10, you may have experienced phantom touches several times. This is because when you hold the phone, our hand or fingers brush the edges of the panel which, literally, are part of the screen, causing unintentional pressure on it.
We are going to talk about an application that solves this problem in any type of mobile with a curved screen, from those with a cascading screen to those who simply have 2.5D glass more pronounced than usual.
Edgeblock: goodbye to ghost keys
If the curved screen is not programmed to have no sensitivity on its edges, we will generate ghost keys when pressing. To solve this, the best solution is to finish the sensitivity on the edges, rendering these areas of the screen inoperative.
Edgeblock has exquisite operation, and that is that it allows us to adjust exactly the area we want to stop having sensitivity, almost pixel by pixel. We can do this this zone is displayed on the screen, by adjusting its opacity from 0 to 100%.
If we do not want this indicator to appear, we just have to lower the opacity to 0% or, directly, select that this warning does not appear. The marked area will not have tactile sensitivity, we will therefore avoid ghost keys.
By being able to customize in detail how far this area without sensitivity goes, we will have no problem with the gesture systembecause you don’t have to go all the way to the edge to use them.
