Hi all

I thought i reach out to all of you in order to find if there may exist a solution to my touch screen problems. I have recieved 3 tab A9+ 5 8/128. 1st works perfect, last two had the same touch screen problem. I am almost afraid i will get the same problem when i order my 4th A9+ now, so I hope someone of you might know how I could fix it. I have seen several similar posts about this issue on the web, but not found any solutions to it yet.

 

Touch screen problem

Screen freezes with a few seconds in between when i used two fingers and i have to lift and tuch the screen again, when playing games, so it didnt work. I tried an app "touch screen test", where the touches of two fingers froze and stayed put/locked in the position it froze. this happend with a few seconds in between.

What i realized with the last A9+ i sent back, was that the problem occured only when i held it with two hands, almost like my hands (not tuching the screen) interfered with the screen in some way.  If i pointed my  two fingers perpendicular to the screen surface (no hands close to the screen), the freezing/locking problem did not occure. 

I tested:

*turned off guestures, updated, reboots, factory reset etc.

*all possible variants of times for "unwanted touches" on the screen.

*60 or 90 Hz.

*minimum software installed.

*touch screen test.

*Samsung screen diagnostic, filling cubes, stops responding and i have to re-touch screen again.

nothing worked.

 

Best regards

Same here and returned (tried 2) as it was to be used as a navigation device in the field.  Nice tab and great sensors except for the screen.

I've seen the 6.1 update got rolled out to Europe first and then it rolled out in India as well.

 

So try connecting to europe & asia VPNs and check for the update.
