Had this phone for about 2 weeks now. And so far I'm very happy with it. Battery life is good. Still have 38% from yesterday (7:00am) It's 8:30am now. And I'm Emailing, Whatsapp,BBM and surfing the web and using maps. Very good phone

AnonD-116257, 01 Jun 2014the increased touch sensitivity feature actually senses pressure, it works with sharp plastic ... moreTry it with a plastic object. It won't work. The display is capacitive. It can't work when you put a non-conducting object on it. The digitalizer measures the change in capacitance that touches the screen.
Now, for normal digitalizers we need a conducting surface with good surface area. From onwards the s4, samsung worked on the digitalizer to make it more sensitive and detect a capacitance change even when the conductor is some distance above it. The thing you call as air view is an example of that tech. The reason it works with fingernails is that your skin is near and it can detect the change in capacitance change. Also the fingernails are conducting and they change capacitance. Even the screen of s4 and note 3 work with fingernails. Try with the end of a plastic pen. It won't work. Now samsung worked with the digitalizer and removed the barrier for area. So even the small tip of a graphite pencil can interact. Try it with the other end of pencil which is wood i presume and it won't work.
The screens that detect pressures are called resistive touch and are a very very old tech and used in cheap touch phones. They can be used with anything and any material.
Have a nice day.

Another tip for everyone. Once the touch sensitivity is turned on, the phone will not only work with gloves, but also a normal pencil or anything sharp nearby. Forexample, the stylus of the Galaxy Note 3 will work, any pencil will work, a knife would, etcetera. Thankyou.

Hello people. Just a tip for the Galaxy S5,s finicky fingerprint sensor with one hand. Touch the part of the screen on the lockscreen where there is the animation(moving) and slowly swipe at the middle of the home button, touching the tip of the bezzel for a complete swipe. You may not be able to for the first few times but once you get the hang of it, it will help you in your daily usage. Moreover, donot swipe too fast, and while you're attempting or saving your fingerprints, scroll throw the home button from the small animation as if you are simply swiping the home button. Thankyou and reply if it helps!
