its rubbish, if u have a samsung phone currently type *#0*# and click on "Touch", you can do the same thing the edges of any screen don't register touch.

those codes will not work on Verizon branded phones.
VZW stripped them all out, just results in "number cannot be reached as dialed."
I wish they would, and have tried...

Those codes were changed a while back. And they work on just about every Samsung I've ever had. Too bad because the screen calibrating test was very helpful

I think it's another rubbish article from BGR and the scramble for digitizer calibration isn't necessary.

Friends don't let friends read BGR.

Judging by the comments section, older Samsung phones behave the same way and there wasn't a massive recall or panic back then. This seems to be an obvious software setting to prevent accidental edge touches, not some massive digitizer defect.
