Has anyone noticed with the galaxy note 10.1 that the touchscreen doesnt always respond? Seems to happen when I click the home screen icon every now and then.
This could also be partially my fault because I dont have a screen protector yet and have been over the top washing my hands before touching the screen.

This usually happens if you have the pen out near the screen and then you use your fingers to touch the screen , the reason for this is that the Note disables touch input so that you can rest your palm on the screen while writing.
If it happens outside of the above scenario, then you may have a faulty touch panel.
It does happen when the pen is still in the dock.
Damn damn, have to pay to ship the item back to B&H.
Will play around some more tonight and confirm that it is a problem.

My touch screen went completely dead on me today. It would work find until the screen timed out or was turned off. After that the touch screen would not respond to anything, finger or pen. I am on stock not rooted with encryption enabled for exchange.
Played around with it some more and paid more attention. Seems to happen with task manager when i have to hit the small cross to close apps.

I have had my XDA II for two months and since my last synch I find I am now tapping with the stylus in vain on my screen to enter the system. The screen is in perfect condiition but now does not respond. When I pressed the record or camera buttons on the side the programs load but I can't select anything because the screen does not respond to any stylus taps.
I did a hard reset and now I can't get past the first screen that says please tap here to continue.
Has anybody experienced this problem and can they suggest a way forward for me to get it resolved ASAP as a I am going to Spain tomorrow with an XDA II which is not responding to stylus taps.
Sounds like a hardware fault if you have tried a hard reset.
no response
I now know what the problem was.
I put on a new screen protector. And for some reason the XDA cannot sense any taps on the screen from the stylus.
I removed the screen protector and it works fine.
However the XDA did work with the last screen protector that I put on, so I do not know why it doesn´t with the new ones.

I have been using screen protectors from various manufaturers, each time I had to re-calibrate the screen (for that reason) but has never come across situation as described above

Tapping problem
hello mate
The reason for your stylus not to work with the screen protector is because you have the edge of the protector toching the sides od the xda.....make sure you have a very small gap between them.
:lol:
You didnt mention the screen protector in your first post, I had the same with a protector on an ipaq that was slightly oversize and touched the very edges, no taps worked either until I removed the protector.
Put my tablet down for a while, and when I came back to it today, there are some serious ghost touches happening. It's especially bad when I touch the back, left side (if holding tablet landscape) I've rebooted and it hasn't helped.
I have a Zagg screen protector on it, which I've never had an issue with beforehand.
Any ideas?
I think it's JUST outside of warranty (not that I've filled the card out...)

I started having ghost touches a while ago, and still occasionally do. I had a screen protector on to start with, absolutely fine. Then after a while they started. Removed the screen protector and no problems again for a while. Now I get them very occasionally, and slight non-responsiveness the the upper right (landscape) quarter or the screen. Normally only after I've been using it for quite a while. Leave it a while and reboot helps.
I'd say try removing the protector.
So, I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner: pretty sure its my keyboard that causes the issues. Took the tablet out of the dock so I could hold it differently, and all issues stopped.
This sucks.

On previous S phones, there was an option to turn on sensitive screen. In my s7, there is no such option but it seems like it's turned on. It registers touch even if I don't touch screen (from 1-2 millimeters away). It's so annoying.
Plus, it registers my nails as touch, s6 wasn't like this.
Anyone find this annoying as well?
I'm rooted, maybe there is a way to adjust it.. Please let me know if so.

I'm having the same issue. If I put the phone in my pocket with the screen on it registers touches from the fabric of my pocket. I've never had a phone register touches to that extreme. Screen is very sensitive. I keep hitting the back button also which is really easy to fix and pisses me off Samsung hasn't done it yet.
It took a few days for me to get use to the extra sensitivity vs Nexus5x. Keep using it and you won't notice after few days.
I have the regular s7 and the sensitivity is driving me nuts too. I keep bursting photos since the camera thinks I'm still pressing down when I lift my finger up. Using the phone in general makes the phone have a seizure. I hold the phone with my left hand and scroll with my right, but I can't grip the phone without the fleshy palm bit under my thumb and my fingertips touching the screen since the bezel is so thin. This makes the phone go crazy since so many parts are being touched at the same time. If I change the way I hold my phone in any way, I know I will drop the phone, especially since my hands are small.
I'm waiting for a case to be shipped to me, so hopefully that will help stop my fingertips and palms from touching the screen during general use.
Still, this is a problem.
I too have noticed that the sensitivity of the capacitive buttons (mainly the back button) is waaayyyyyy too high. I'm finding that when my thumb isn't even touching it, but just hovering over it, that it activates the back button. Also, when scrolling through pages, I've noticed ghost button presses of the back button.
The only thing I agree with here in touching the screen while gripping it.
None of the other stuff at all. Not even a tiny bit.
If you can press buttons and control the screen without touching it you are part way through your padawan training.

Capacitive buttons are OK, only screen sensitivity is too high for me. Strange.
I am having problem with my touch screen it is not sensitive enough. Any idea how to make it more sensitive?
I feel like it is way too sensitive. I can't even hold my phone in one hand without activating apps that are on the right and left sides of the screen.

I dropped my Galaxy J7 Pro. At first the screen started dying with a small black spot on the bottom left corner, then it spread nearly to the whole screen. Now when I press the Home button, all I see are flashes and sometimes I can barely see the time and battery info. There are no cracks or scratches on the screen. The touchscreen still works, it still registers touch inputs. I can still pick up when someone calls.
I'm going to get it fixed but I know almost nothing phone repair. So I thought I'd ask around so I don't get duped. What should a fix like this normally cost? Would it be an easy fix, like something they could do on the spot or would it take long? Thanks.
