Galaxy Tab S6 Lite touchscreen unresponsive

Nickydwuk — Mon, 21 Sep 2020 18:09:50 GMT

Suddenly the screen ion my S6 Lite is not responding to touch. I cannot swipe the screen to unlock nor can I touch power down to turn it off. I have read a few posts about rebooting the tablet but they all need you to be able to access the tablet. I have only had it 2 months. Is there anything I can do to at least try to reboot it?

Yes you can plug in a mouse using an otg cable. If the screen is faulty then that should allow you to reboot it or activate usb debugging and such that u may need to be able to connect to PC and do some more troubleshooting or reflashing. Itll also mean that if the mouse is unresponsive too, then it's not a screen fault.

I also bought my samsung s6 lite a couple of months ago and my screen suddenly becomes unresponsive to touch. the s pen works but touch dosnt. it does work for a few seconds when i leave it alone for a few minutes. i think its a software issue. did you find a solution to this?

Hi I have found the solution after my update on my Samsung tablet s6 the talk back setting was activated.

So now you can only use you're tablet with 2 fingers.

Tap 1 time with 1 finger on an icon to select(market Bleu) and then tap with 2 fingers to continu or dubbele tap with 1 finger.

To turn this of go to settings, accessibility, vision, turn talk back off.

Problem solved!

Hope this helped.

Kind regards Ard.

Same exact thing here. My tablet is only a month old. I took the screen protector off and it made no difference. Ended up sending it back to Samsung. Waiting for the repair.

Ya i am too having the similar issue! Recently got this tab on june 2021. Even took to service centre. They are even not able to find solution for this and even said if occurs on third party apps then thats not our concern but its not just 3rd party apps or so also occurs randomly whupile scrolling or swiping sometimes . Majorly occurs while gaming persists after every 20 25 seconds of gaming even the tab is not heating neither any frame drops game runs smooth and occurs till next 30 35 seconds and fixes, again after few secs starts touch lag just like a constant loop or so! Very dissapointed by such a mid range product. Samsung shame on you. Got this tab with android 11 factory shipped!

My issue seem to resolve itself when I stopped using the Folio case I bought on Amazon for the tablet. Its the magnet in the case that messes with the tablet. Even if its on the back of the tab. It will just freeze up and only respond to s pen. Get rid of the magnet, and your problem disappears. I think this is a bad design far as this never happened on any of my other tablets.

Hey mikey! I even tried this without any case or so! Even removed the screen protector but what i felt earlier still persists every time! I'll suggest you to try pubg once play one or two matches then if you didn't feel anything strange like the sudden decrease in swipe senstivity then do reply i'll take your comment as a proof to service centre and advise them to take actions and stop making such illogical comments that 3rd party apps are not our concern and all! And which region are you from and your android version? Mine is Android 11 factory shipped as i purchased recently and region INU (India). And man thanks for your Cover Suggestion as well!!

I'm having the same issue. I'm majoring using Samsung Notes to study or even browsing and randomly the screen becomes unresponsive only working with S Pen. My region is Brazil.

Did anybody find a solution?

AniD — Wed, 04 Aug 2021 02:47:28 GMT

Ya man! Its pretty annoying! I have reported the issue via samsung members app! Its been 8 days! Whenever i ask something about the update, keeps saying your log files are being checked wait for some time bla bla bla! You too try reporting via samsung members app! Did you got the july patch? As it's released in many regions, lets hope it resolves after the patch! Fingers crossed

Re: Galaxy Tab S6 Lite touchscreen unresponsive

AniD — Fri, 06 Aug 2021 09:18:56 GMT

I got the july patch but still the same issue! What should we do man! I regret my decision on buying this bullsh......! To each and everyone who are looking to buy samsung stuff just think twice before lookin forward! Google pixels too had the same issue and their concern was heard just within few days and got a stable patch. And here at samsung their careless service, arrogant customer service, just fooling the people around just to get rid from solving customer issues! Shame on you samsung! Never gonna buy any sam.... shi....... ever again!

Hey Anid

Do you think I should return my s6 lite back?

I'm facing same issues and it's been just 3 days since I bought it off of amazon. It's just 9-10 seconds lag of the touchscreen but I fear it's going to get worse over time.

Re: Galaxy Tab S6 Lite touchscreen unresponsive

AniD — Sat, 07 Aug 2021 04:52:43 GMT

Man it won't get worse! But this much only be enough to annoy you! It won't let you game even on least possible settings! And while browsing or anything else scrolling twice thrice for a simple swipe is a real burden! If you still got the return period entact just go for it as i probably wonder how much more time would android 12 take to arrive which might solve this issue. So for you just return this ***** and go for an Ipad 8th gen with just 20 30 bucks more and a copy of apple pencil which hardly costs 30 40 dollars or so! I don't want others to feel the same as i have been runnin around the service centre and coming back with the same excuse everytime..... Have become a real pain and And that annoyance and anxiety of regret of buying this ***** man..... just return this and get rid of the burden!

I too have this problem. Have you found a solution?

Re: Galaxy Tab S6 Lite touchscreen unresponsive

I also have the same issue. Reseting the settings brings it back to normal for a while before I have to reset it again. Very annoying and unexpected as I have only had the tablet a few days now. Plan on returning it ASAP though.

Re: Galaxy Tab S6 Lite touchscreen unresponsive

AniD — Fri, 03 Sep 2021 18:40:48 GMT

I reported the bug via samsung members ie. My log files were sent! After 20 days got the soln. that updating to the latest july patch released in august end (P610..........H2) something like this should resolve issue but didn't work at all! Still the same exact issue! If you can return go for it! These fools are just launching new products every year and doesn't care what problems the existing models are actually facing such irresponsible moooorooons #Sh*tty samsung service!
