The case caused my problems. Have you tried no case yet?
My case was fine to at the beginning. Then I started in having the issue. It's not Otterbein, it's the s6 and something within it interfering. With my case it was the left side causing the issue. Found it had metal in it tho, so maybe plastic is a non issue. The issue is infuriating tho. An awesome phone otherwise. I would not have put up with it this long. I was packing it up for return to Samsung for repair. Took off the case and Bingo! Perfect again. Then I saw this thread and another had the case issue. This may be my last Samsung.

Spender000, can you talk about what you did to configure your device after the factory reset? Have you installed a new launcher? Have you installed a new messaging app? Have you added any non-stock notifications? Any info on your system setup would be appreciated.
I had a similar experience, where I factory reset 2 days ago, and everything was working great, but I have been slowly adding apps and media, and now it is back to the same old issue. As soon s I factory reset, I installed Nova which made me think that wasn't the culprit because it has worked fine for 2 days. The last thing I did before the phone went back to the old problems was setup the You Need a Budget (YNAB) app. I restored my device from backup using Samsung Smart Switch and YNAB was installed then, but I had to go through the setup process to sync it with my phone by setting it up with Dropbox. This is the last thing I did before the sensitivity issues came back. Prior to that were several notification downloads from Zedge and before that was installing Dolphin browser, but didn't notice any issues.
I talked to AT&T Tier 2 support on Saturday and have a warranty replacement (i.e. "like-new" [possibly refurbished] phone) in the mail. I was getting pretty excited that my original S6 looked like it had took a turn for the better but now it is back to the original issue, so I'm not sure if I'm going to take the refurb or keep the original.
Is anyone running the following without issues?
-Nova Launcher
-Textra
-HD Widgets
-SplenDo
I have had my GS6 for about 2 weeks. On and off had this issue. It started with just the top left corner going 'dead' which could easily be fixed (though annoying) via an app like Droid Optimizer to kill all apps. Over the past few days, another sensitivity issue has arisen where the entire screen, primarily the right half, seems to lose its sensitivity. You have to really put pressure for it to register your touches. That has come and gone over the past 3 or 4 days. Can't tell if I have a faulty device or just a software glitch that the next update could cure. I REALLY don't want to go through the hassle of an exchange. Anyone got any ideas? I'm on Verizon.
The top left corner issues seem related to the Facebook Messenger bubble heads. If you have this app installed try disabling the bubbles, or even the whole app, and see if it makes a difference.
