I have a Verizon Tab S 10.5, which has been working fine for months. Now, I'm experiencing random times where the touchscreen is unresponsive. The physical buttons still work, and the bluetooth keyboard still works too.
If I press the power button, then unlock it, the touchscreen works again.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I love the tablet otherwise.

I have the 8.4 and am experiencing the same difficulty. I usually use a stylus and suddenly, the same stylus on the same page of the same site, isn't responded to. I push harder but that never works. I find that using my finger, even for one response often brings back functionality. I've been wondering about the screen protector and whether that gets old or something. Are you using a screen protector?
No, I don't have a screen protector on it. It is in a Logitech keyboard case. Do you use a case?

tab s 10.5 touchscreen unresponsive
I am having the same problem with my tab. At seemingly random moments my touchscreen becomes unresponsive. The home button works but nothing on screen is responsive until I hit the power button, putting it to sleep briefly and then hitting it again to wake it up. At that point the touchscreen becomes responsive again.
I sure hope someone finds a solution.I love my tab but this is a bummer.
Content screen unresponsive
The content screen has suddenly become unresponsive, none of the windows will open or refresh. The other home screens are working, just not the content screen. Any suggestions please?
What firmware are you guy`s using, are you still on stock 4.4.2 or on stock 5.0.2 or something custom.
John.
Hi John
I'm using 5.0.2. I've tried restarting and a soft reset and the other screens/apps work fine, just the content screen.
Jill
I had a search for Samsung touchscreen problems, most were down to the touchscreen connector coming loose due to a drop or flexing of the case, a hard reset sometimes works, a battery pull sometimes works, somebody said he flashed to another firmware and that fixed the problem, but if you are on the stock firmware that cannot be the problem, or is it the new 5.0.2 firmware?
Have you tried a touchscreen tester app ???

John.
It's a pretty new tablet so I guess it's the new 5.0.2 firmware. It's only unresponsive on the content screen so it seems like it's to do with that software - would you think. I don't know how to get at that though. It's Samsung thing and there are no settings for it, it's a bit like blinkfeed on an HTC only it doesn't work!
But thanks for the link, I'll try a touchscreen app anyway. A screenshot is attached hopefully.
Thanks for your help.
Ok, a list of owners affected and tablet models and firmware version, can you give your details so we can get some pattern?
golden422 - 10.5" - need firmware version
mlg250 - 8.4" - need firmware version
dbarkett - 10.5" - need firmware version
jgordon5 - 8.4" T700 - v5.0.2
Galaxy tab s SM-T700 8.4 v5.0.2
Thanks.
Strangely enough i installed nova launcher, didn't like it so uninstalled it and then the content screens started working and are now responsive!
I have the same problem with my SM-T807, running 5.0.2
Any luck on finding a fix?
My touchscreen was only not working on the two home screens where you choose your own widgets. I installed a different launcher, didn't like it and so uninstalled it and then very strangely those two home screens became responsive. Weird!

Hey guys,
I have a weired camera problem and I coudn't find anyway to fix it
The camera was working perfectly fine until one day It started being unresponsive sometimes and now I got to the point where it rarely responds!!!
When I open the camera sometimes it just shows black screen and I'm unable to do anything then after about 3 secs phone reboots and sometimes the camera app launches but the viewfinder is just black and sometimes it simply fc's!!!
I tried several camera apps (manul camera....) but in vain!
My first attempt to fix this was deleting data and cache for camera app! then I made a factory reset then I tried updating to android N DP4 and then I rolled back and in vain!!!
Once the camera srops working it will not work again until I reboot the phone and after I reboot it the camera will work for about 5 minutes to 1 hour then the problem starts showing!!!
Hope yo Guys can help me solve the issue I really like the phone and I don't wanna lose it!
Thx in advance!
Sounds like a hardware issue to me. I would send it in for warranty or repairs if possible.
Did you managed to get it fixed? I have the exact same issue. I think it first started happening after the latest security updates. I hope it's not hardware related, this phone just came back from lg repairs for faulty digitizer.
i got the same problem. i just try to install the final version of android 7.0 and hope the problem won't show again...
i'm anyway quite sure it's not a hardware problem, cause when the camera works it works great and shoots perfect photos and videos...i think it's the last security pack update which causes these problems, and maybe the solution will be the new security pack update, of september
I had the same issue, and I simply couldn't fix it by any means. It just started to happen after 3 months of use, and came out of nowhere.
I had to return it, luckily it was amazon......
Really weird.
I did not use my tablet for about 2-3 years. Decided to charge it and use if again but the touch doesn't seems to work where the "q" is on the keyboard. Before this everything was working perfectly tried flashing another ROM but the problem persists. What could be the problem or how can I resolve it?
Hi, I have nexus 2013 with Android 6.0.1, since this update and issue came all along and I don't know why!
My WiFi, is intermittent, it disconnects and reconnects all the time
All my other sensors are not working anymore, like auto rotation and gyro
screen sometimes is not being responsive, unless I turn it off couple of times
is it a software issue or my unit is dud? it used to work perfectly for couple of years though.
Yup same here!
Ditto on the rotation working intermittently. Works for a minute after restarting then stops working until I reboot. My wifi is solid though.
I am having the exact same issues as OP, doesn't matter which rom/stock.

I'm in the same situation but I'm not using stock rom. I'm using a custom RR Nougat Rom for almost 2 years, everything was working nice until this happened. WIFI either stops entirely stops working or works intermittently, and auto rotate doesn't work. I downloaded a sensors app from play store to see if they were actually working or not, to my surprise it says no sensors detected. I panicked and did a hard reset, and then it stucks at bootloop (can't get past the four dots, may be the ROM can't find sensors). Flashed countless custom ROMS, stock rom (6.1, 5.0), but still no dice. But then when I was about to give up, I thought I would give the stock rom 4.3 a final try and magically, my nexus successfully boots up with all the sensors working perfectly. Then I re flashed the custom rom back to my device in which all the sensors are working fine (ORIENTATION, GYRO...).
So may be go back to STOCK ROM 4.3 and then see if the problem persists. I see a lot of 6.0 people are facing these issues.
Good luck!
Hi I have recently bought a second hand redmi note 8 pro to use with a drone I have also recently purchased.
everything has been working fine. Until last night 21/07/21 I had a notification of the new miui 12.5 update. which I left to do its thing. The issue is the screen does not respond to touch. it appears to boot up ok gets to the screen shown. I have had it on fastboot screen and also wiped all data (can't seem to get mi assistance to work.)
Has anyone else had the update/ issue?
How would you recommend proceeding.
I have the same problem (Redmi Note 8 Pro Global - MI firmware). After updating from 12.0.8, the touchscreen stopped working.
I had to roll back through the fastboot. I also tried to flash version 12.5.1.0 via fastboot - the problem persists.
The phone had a replacement display module, but with an original one.
There is an idea to try to flash it with a version for Indonesia or China, but so far I have not tested it.
Issue with SIM selection for calling on MIUI 12.5 Global - Redmi Note 8 Pro
Anyone experiencing this bug with default SIM for call?
The Google Dialer will ask for which SIM to call on reboot even tho I already set it as SIM1 or SIM2 in the Settings.
The workaround is manually reselecting the SIM but only effective till next reboot.
Same exclusive Xiaomi Update Fail Forget about help or information from the official Support.
Connect a mouse with a USB-C to USB Adapter and backup your personal data.
I have exact same issue on this update. I also replaced the screen some time ago. I belive it's android 11 problem, because CFWs like PE doesn't work too. ROMs with Android 10 also seems weird to me, because digitizer keeps "jumping" and clicking random places. Android 9 - all works perfectly fine. I am going to find out which partition is used to use touchscreen and check if it's possible to flash it over PE ROM to solve the problems.
I have some problems after updating to MIUI 12.5.1:
1. Have to repeat the procedure twice for uploading any picture from gallery to anywhere on Internet. It doesn't work in first attempt.
2. Fingerprint sensor shows many errors off & on. 3-4 attempts to open the phone. Tried re-registering my fingers.
3. Option of Completely Hide Notch gone
4. While playing Facebook videos, sound continues, video stops.
Too annoying these bugs are.

Yes, the great manufacturer has kept its information behind the mountain. I have just found a contribution to this in the mi community.
It only briefly mentions that repairs should be made with an official display. I also do not understand why Xiaomi makes such a secret of it and does not give the reasons. Link
I have installed the Global 12.0.5 Stable QGGEUXM and I am also aware of these display anomalies.
Do you have any results in the project?

I've tested all partitions but any of them seems to be changing display driver. So sorry, no luck there, I think we're stuck with android 9. It looks like it is hard-coded into firmware.

I noticed a break in a layer of the display within 14 days of use. There was no heavy use or pressure on the display. Xiaomi - K.O.
How to bring back the option of "Completely Hide the Notch" in MIUI 12.5.1?
I have just realised I didn't update. I was having lots of trouble fixing this. I think my reply from xiaomi was wait for the next update this might fix it.
Thank you to Boo-Kah-Kee, I never knew you could plug a mouse in.
anyway I eventually got it back to the prievious rom by following this Video.
No more updates it works fine.
