Galaxy S7 Touchscreen Problem - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Galaxy S7 screen not responding to touch sometimes. The bottom portion of the display is affected. I tried 6 different S7 and all of them have the same problem, test yours like this and tap gently not hard, when you press hard you press 3mm on the screen and that is a lot ! The problem is worse when the phone is cold (20C) This is annoying because the place where its not working is the same place where the space bar is and the "." Does anyone else have that exact problem? Here is a video of the problem : https://youtu.be/OW_FQBMcuOE
IMPORTANT !
Install Phone INFO app (green adroid logo) see when the phone is manufactured, mine is 2016.02.18 ! maybe the first batch of the production have that problem! We might be on something here!!!

There are two threads already open with this situation.
I have this problem at the same location you demonstrate. The right side has this problem too. From bottom right to the top 1 cm and 2 or 3 cm up you are going to reproduce the same thing.
I get used to it but it is very annoying. Never liked Samsung because of this things. They use low quality material all around. I will never trust them.

go to samsung store

Just received H9 update and the release notes did not mention anything about LCD, touch screen or anything related to it.
But since the update, I've been trying to reproduce the problem trying to find the blind spots and for my surprise I did not find anything. The touchscreen is perfect and I can feel it is more sensitive.
Before the update I could reproduce the problem very easy! Now it is perfect.
The update here in my region (Brazil - ZTO) was about 170MB. Samsung Cloud was introduced.

Wow, mine was manufactured 2 weeks ago (2016.08.16) and I've owned it since about the 24th too, so it was 8 days old when I received it

[Q] How can I definitively remove this tiresome bug ??

Hi, I am new on forum and on Nexus S, but not with ROMS
I love this phone, but since I bought it, I have a strange bug. Maybe it appears because I did with "rom toolbox pro" a full backup of apps on another smartphone (acer liquid metal) and now I restored all apps on Nexus S.
this is the bug: sometimes (normally when I'm writing a message, or simply using virtual keyboard) it appear the "open as..." window, where I can choose to open it with gosms pro or gmail.
I tried to open it with both programs, and after this window, on gosmspro the text message is about the bug report, with 2 attached files: 1 .txt files with description of bug (but it's too long, approx 4 mb of .txt!!!) and 2 a .jpg screenshot of bug (but in the image there is simply the lock screen).
In gmail it appears the same thing. But I can't understand where is the problem or where the bug starts, so I ask you how can I find it.
I tried also to uninstall some apps (like gosms, also deleting app data) but without progresses.
If you like it, i can post the screenshot of the bug, or also the .txt or .jpg files in the bug report.
Now I'm using the CM10 , and I had the same problem with Skank ROM.
Please help me, I never found an answer on the web to this tiresome bug. : /
thanks guys and thanks for your BIG work !!!

Absolutely. But from experience, it's a good idea to wipe clean once in a while. I usually do it every few months to keep the problems at bay. Sometimes you'll spend more time trying to fix an issue than it would take you to restart from anew, and even if you end up fixing it that's only an issue you see. You aren't fixing udnerlying problems...
So does anything actually crash or is it just this that pops up?

uhm, at the beginning i had 5-6 crashes, but I'm sure that it was linked to the overclock. In fact, when I put 1200 mhz, I was a noobie in that (because I came from smartphones that NEED overclock to have a fluid and rapid system), and when I reset it to 1000 mhz, it never did me another crash no more.
So yes, the bug is only this popup. I know isn't a little bug, but with the passing of times, it appears more and more times, so it's tiresome.
ah, few seconds before bug, the phone vibrate 3 times (everytime).
I'm using a plastic gel cover.
ah, another little thing that I hear yesterday for the first time: the front speaker at the top, sometimes (also 2-3 times in a minute, don' t know if it do that always, as in lock screen) do a very low sound repeated for few seconds (it's hard to explain this, it seems a radio frequency as "toctoctoctoctoc")...sorry for this onomatopea but maybe its' helpful for understanding what I mean
...any news from the .txt that I sent you ?
Take off your case for a whole day, don't put it on your phone. Tell me if it still happens during that day.
I can nearly assure you, up to 99.9%, that your problem will stop.
I know it sounds crazy, but do it. You can thank me later.

OMG that was the problem !??!?
Incredible!!
my last smartphone had similar problem (microphone of acer liquid metal won' t work well with case)!!
but now the case seems to create a worst problem!! I can' t believe that this simple accessories can made theese problems ( considering that technology should give us better phones in every kind of way)....
NEWS : today, for the first time, telephone crashes 2 times: it never happens since my last OC (2 weeks ago) !!
I hope that case was problem for bug and also crashes!!

Tell me if the bugmailer problem seems fixed after using it for a while.
Edit: I don't believe the crashes are related however. I'll tell you the magic behind the bug mailer after you tell me if it's fixed!
ok I'll say you in 2 days!
however, for crashes, I think I did a bull**** using a bad app called "cache fixer", because I used to free memory with my old phone.
If I see crashes again, I' ll wipe the phone.
OMG!!! you seems to have reason (fortunately) !!!
I'm nearly sure to have fixed this, now I wanna know the magic trick!!
How a technologic phone can be shocked by a simple plastic gel ?!?!
I guess that answer it's or the semi-pressure of volume/on-off buttons, or somethink linked to the temprature (with cover it increases). Right ?
Other things: for now, no other crashes, but the strange silent rumor on the top of the headspeaker sometimes appears. Can the phone record this low sound on the top? So you ' ll understand what I mean...
for now... thanks!!

Your phone case presses on VOL +, VOL - and POWER all at the same time. That's a developper feature.
You can "disable" it by turning off USB debug but I highly suggest either fixing your case if possible or getting another one that doesn't press those buttons for no reason.
Edit: I have no idea what you are talking about for the other issue though.

[Q] Sensitivity, tap instead of swipe

Hi guys, i really like the phone but I have one major problem with it. Sometimes the screen randomly thinks my finger is tapping instead of swiping.. So when scrolling through a list, it doesn't scroll through the list, but rather taps the links. I compared it with my M8 and its definitely a huge difference

I would really recommend to look at oneplus forum.....very interesting reading
Just to sum up, the customer support in OnePlus is nearly non-existend.
I have seen the reports that someone with RMA ticket number 98 (can you imagine, just in first hundred) does not have any reply from them already 3 weeks.
God im seriously thinking about keeping my M8...
I am also experiencing the tap instead of swipe bug. Its a bit annoying. I love the potential of this phone and hope that Cyanogen will get all the kinks fixed. Maybe that's one of the real reasons for the official release not taking place.

Are you by any chance having the issue when not holding the phone in your hand? There seems to be some sort of grounding problem(?) when the phone is on e.g. a pillow which did not exist before the update pushed in the beginning of july. Apparantely CM is working on fixing it again.

I really hope they do rectify these issues. Cause I'm kind of regretting selling my Nexus 5. I mean this hardware is superb and I love the feel of the sandstone back. The software is just not ready for the masses.
I can't wait till the software is bug free. This phone will be a beast!

I am looking at the forums. And: for me, the support responded to my questions within 24h in 3 of 4 cases. That's my personal experience.
I think you should try it. If this does not work: give your request an update. Or two. Or three. And then, if all that doesn't work, either: make pressure on the public forums. THEN you can/should be upset.

Hello, anyone knows if in the end a solution was found? I have this problem even with the latest update of cyanogenOS.

Yes it's common, i have this issue as well. I think it happens when the phone stutters/lag, the swipe turns to a tap. My solution is to flash fast, lag-free ROMs, reducing the incidents. You should try jgcaap Lag-free CM13 ROM and see if it gets better, it worked for me.
Thank you very much for your advice, I'm testing this rom, and doing very well not have lag or loses touch for now.

Touch sensitivity ?

Does anyone feel this phone's touch sensitivity not good ? I sometimes touch on the screen and it didn't feed back ! don't know if its' a sofware bug or the phone has problem?

Same here, taps won't register sometimes only until you scroll a page a bit first.
Definitely a software bug.

Hopefully soon, I have updated to version MHA-L29C432B126 two days ago, but nothing has changed for this problem.
I'm using chinese version and have updated to latest build 137 but nothing has changed ! It's quite annoying for an expensive phone like this

You're right, we hope in the seriousness of Huawei!!!
I'm with MHA-L29C432B126 and i have the same feeling specially on Mate 9 sides left and right , it doesn't do anything when pushing an icon, i'm obliged to use navigation icons to get an answer.
It's software problem
As they wanted to make that phone doesn't react to accidentally touch, and as is something new, it's not perfect. Probably will be fix soon or later.
I don't know if just some phones meet this problem or this is a software bug that can appears on any phone?

Taking off the pre installed screen protector might help
Nope...I just peel off screen protector but just same problem..mate9 sides left and right not sensitive.
Yup, same problem, especially near the edges/corners.
Should be a software problem and hopefully it will be fixed.
Unfortunately I've discovered the same. Touch sensitivity is letting this phone down. In the middle of a game touch suddenly doesn't want to work when using a finger touch joystick, and just when I need it most! This sucks! We should not be having problems with this touch screen. It's fundamental. I love the phone but If this one thing is not fixed I'm sending the phone back. I can't have it fail on me.

[Philippines] S9+ User Thread

Welcome Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ owners!
come and share your thoughts and reviews about the device here. :good:​
Waiting for mine on March 26 via Globe Retention. Gonna replace my HTC U11
What pre-order goodie did you guys get? I chose the wireless charger, the speakers would have been nice but I don't have a use for them
I actually got the accessory vouchers, but as per my friend, if you will be buying the galaxy through an installment plan only the charger/speaker are available as freebies.
I have to double check with samsung though, just to be sure.
Yeah! Love my new phone! I got it on March 16th. 128gb S9 plus.. Anyone here? Helloo...
Got ours from lazada. 128 gb is not available from samsung stores except for those who preordered, colors available for walk-in clients are also limited
got mine last match 21 from globe pre-order. anyone noticed about the yellowish screen? different viewing angles like from side, up and down got more nicer color (suppposed to be the real color) than facing directly on screen as it is really yellowish. need replacement or is this just normal? this is exynos variant here.
also had this finger print scanner problem few days ago but thankfully totally gone for now, what happened was that when i tried to open my phone using finger print nothings happened, then tried to turned on the screen and keep using the finger print 'til a pop up meesaged appeared stating "...if it keeps happening try restarting the phone" then I did it and voila problem gone but keeps coming back around 3x but luckily since yesterday it didnt came back and hoping will really not come back. wondering what caused that thing? a faulty hardware or software problem?

since march 21 so almost 3wks now.
I had it for almost a month now. I bought an XTC openline, and I still don't have the OEM unlock, which is odd. I'm not rooting it anytime soon because of the dual speaker and the sound is satisfactory. Im always rooting my phone for the Viper4. But still, I'm itching for a root but I don't see the need yet. Why is my OEM not unlock yet? I don't want a factory reset.

Bought it from the local Samsung store before it was out for sale. I've enabled it right away. Did a factory reset several times so that I can root it, when it was still new. It didn't appear, so I've waited for 7 days but still no OEM unlock. It's a good thing I'm happy with the speed and sound. There's supposed to be a patch from Note 8 that works with s9, it was a supposedly a bug or a bug from knox or something.... But I'm not in a rush to root it, which is weird because I always root my phone for the Viper4 but I think the sound of this device is good enough for me.
It finally appeared, the OEM unlock button, at exactly 1 month that I bought this.
I'm getting one of the best battery life with stock, definitely not rooting it yet.
Bought mine at Greenhills. 256 GB model. They said the unit is from HK.
---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------
Apparently the unit from HK with 256 GB have different Samsung Keyboard layout. Any thoughts on how I can change the Samsung Keyboard layout?
anyone tried rooting using kingroot, iroot alike app? did it trip the knox? is it possible while oem still in locked mode? hope someone tried as for now I can't do it since I can't backup my files incase disaster came.

If you have never had any experience with ODIN or are afraid of turning your phone into a $1,000 paperweight then i strongly suggest leaving this to the pros.I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURS OR ANYONE ELSE NEGLIGENCE.
Tell me about it. I introduced my younger brother to xda and he just got an s9. It's already worthless.

Even since I started playing around with smart phones, I have never managed to completely brick a phone, especially new phones, how on earth do you fully brick one now days lol.

Yes, it is not suitable for European versions.
Can confirm working on s9+
Only problems I've had is Bluetooth car phone calls apparently sound like garbage to the other person and when the phone call ends it doesn't tell my car it's ended and when it resumes music it sounds like someone putting sound dampening material on my speakers. I have to turn my Bluetooth off and on again and it's fixed.
Also popup view isn't working correctly. The X at the top where you can drag the popup to dismiss it won't leave until you stop the process which is just a quick restart for me.
The original post says dual cameras isn't working yet but it does for me. I have normal and telephoto buttons in the camera app.
WiFi calling also doesn't work. Nor does device care.
I also feel like my Sprint LTE slowed quite a bit. Nothing loads nearly as fast on data.

Well it's not really sold for 1000 ... It's about 700 on Amazon. I bought mine for 600... In a year's time it will go for 500...refurbished 400 yet I don't think any X's will sell under a 1000....
still s9+ is not to be played with unstable Android from xda... It never will work as factory intended...
Anyone wanna play with Android's, buy xiaomi or oppo...
Anyhow, if u hold s9+ in hand vs xs, iPhone easily satisfy double the worth....
As I mentioned I feel hugely let down by Samsung's camera no matter what anyone reviewer say... Android is for geeks, iPhone is for people who want a dependable credible high a quality phone that no Android touches.... End of story

Does that mean you will never post in these forums again?
Is it known when it will come out on the s9 + exynos version
