What to do if- your Galaxy phones touch screen doesnt work properly
If the touchscreen on your Galaxy phone is not sensitive enough or responds intermittently, see the guide below.
Before trying the recommendations below, be sure to check if your device software and related applications are updated to the latest version. To update the software on your mobile device, follow these steps:
Step 1. Go to Settings> Software Update.
Step 2. Tap Download and Install.
Step 3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
If you attach accessories, such as screen protectors, to the touch screen, it may not work properly. Protective lenses can also affect sensitivity to touch. In particular, some non-Samsung approved protective films or lenses only have adhesive on the side edges, and if these products adhere to the screen, the glass or protective film may not fully adhere to the screen.
Because of this, some areas of the touch screen may not recognize the touch and respond intermittently. After removing the accessory, check the touch function again. If the accessory is removed and the touch is working properly, your phone will have no problem with the touch screen.
Note: Samsung-approved accessories are recommended. The use of unapproved accessories can cause performance problems.
If you are wearing gloves or your hands are not clean while touching the touch screen, or if you touch the screen with sharp objects or your fingertips, the touch screen may not work properly
The touch screen may malfunction in wet conditions or when exposed to water.
Your Galaxy phone has a feature that increases the touch sensitivity of the screen when using a screen protector. If you feel that the touch on the screen has become less sensitive when using the screen protector, please follow the steps below to enable the Touch Sensitivity feature.
Step 1. Go to Settings and then select the Display menu.
Step 2. Find and tap the switch to activate touch sensitivity.
Note:
If there is no response on the screen, or if the screen is cracked, the device may need repair.
Screen shots and device menus may vary depending on device model and software version.
