re: Does anyone else have issues with hitting the "numbers" button on the keyboard when typing?
Is this your first edged screen phone? If it is there might be a bit of a learning curve on holding it differently. Your hand may be touching the edge as you type. If you get Samsung Good Lock (from the Galaxy App Store), it has a bundled app called Edge Touch that can create sort of dead zones on the edge to help with this.
I agree totally, the bottom of
@travis9935 hand can very well touch the number button.
So there is Edge Touch sure, but you can also resize and move the keyboard. When I was using the Samsung keyboard, this is what I was doing : resizing the keyboard so that it was not touching the edge (my issue was tapping on keys near the edge)
Also, you can change Keyboard : I now use Google, I also use Swiftkey (I principally swipe instead of tapping)
