Hi,
I have recently had a problem with the touchscreen. If you were to swipe your finger a lot over the screen (for example playing fruit ninja) you would be unable to use any of the bottom buttons (like the home button)
I did a little investigation work with the app 'touch test' and I have found what is happening. If you did the swiping action the first finger touch (finger one represented on blue by the app) would lock. If you were to swipe your finger again across the screen it wouldn't registered as the first finger touch, but the second. The bottom bar navigation buttons only respond to the first finger touch.
Sorry if that was confusing in short: The tf screen thinks a finger is touching the screen when it is not, and any finger that touches the screen after that would be represented as another multitouch.
As far as I see there is only one solution: Hit the power button to make it sleep and then wake it up.
I have noticed that their have been several other threads on this, none of the other users had any luck. Wiping the device doesn't help.
Has anyone else noticed this.
Thanks
Have you tried an anti-fingerprint screen protector? I'm wondering if skin grease is possibly the cause of this (I don't experience any such problems, although admittedly I don't play fruit ninja et al, and have a screen protector on).

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I thought of that for a while. But when you put it into sleep and wake it up it's perfectly fine. Maybe doing that undoes all of the inputs. I'll try cleaning up the screen. I admittedly do have sweat hands
Hello!
I have an issue concerning my A700.
I sometimes have to tap more than five times buttons or links when they're located at the edges of the screen.
It's especially noticeable when pressing objects on the right edge of the screen; the parameters button on the notification tray, for example.
It happens whatever the screen sensivity and performance level are set on.
I'm running the official 4.1 JB.
Have you noticed the same behavior on yours?
Thank you for your answer.

Hey i got the same issue with any game where u have to use two thumbs .. basically whenever i touch hold and drag my left finger the right finger taps doesnt work ..
Any one know how (or any app help) to keep touching screen without finger?
My idea is for game playing. I'd to keep finger touching screen at a possition. Then instead of releasing my finger, now I can click a button - so it stops screen touching . It's easier for my game playing in some way.
Thanks in advanced.

I also have a double tap app to turn off screen but its only available when im in the main screen , not when i read news in samsung internet
