Hey, I've had the s7 for a few days now and was wondering if anyone else has been experiencing phantom presses on the Recents key. It's usually when I hold the phone in my left hand. It's almost as if the button is somehow being pressed sometimes just from holding it. Most of the time, it'll try to do multi-window (which is what happens if you long press on the Recents button)
 
I have not noticed that yet, but I did notice you have to be careful touching the "edge" doing some things.

I was holding the Edge in my hand typing and it kept messing up then I noticed part of my palm sometimes got really near or slightly brushed the "edge" and messed me up.

I was holding it in my left hand too.
 
Got my phone last night. It has happened three times, also with the multi window message.

I had to disable multi window was hitting it every 20secs.

The back button is more sensitive I noticed than my s6 edge, But no phantom hits lol
 
The recent and back are pretty sensitive. I hold the phone in my right hand and normally use my little finger to stabilize it at the bottom, but I keep hitting the recent with my finger. Due to the thin bezel on the sides, a number of times when swiping to the right I have opened an app instead of switching screens.
