I played many games that make use of "landscape" mode, that is the screen is rotated. Those games where the on-screen "joystick" on the bottom-left of the screen (landscape) OR top left (portrait) and "button" on the bottom-right (landscape) or bottom left (portrait), I notice that sometimes the screen did NOT register my touch.
When it happened, I lift up my thumb and press it or move the button again and nothing is registered. After about 2-5 seconds, THEN it register again.
I used to have the International Note and I never experiences this issue.
I tried pretty much ANY games or apps and the problem persists.
Anyone experiences this?
Hi,
My phone is currently acting really weird. For some reason if i touch the screen in the top 1/5 of my screen it shows that I am touching the screen in more than one place (I've switch the "show touches" on).
Was wondering if any one else is or has had the same problem.
Also, any advice would be very helpful.
Cheers!
Hello,
Is anyone else having this issue? Like touch screen doesnt respond very well at the top left corner (^<), im running on 5.0.2 lollipop. You can inspect this by slowly swiping the navigation bar at the top left corner or while playing a game (buttons wont function)...
Best regards,
James

its working fine here on 850f running lollipop. ive tried many times real slow n fast. But i cant say anything about screen not working during games cuz i have no games on my phone.
I am facing the same problem from 1month.
I have replaced Screen (previously Display was broken and i had replaced)
Previous one had same problem ( Top left ) , before i went to Service centre , i droped my phone and its display was broken , i have replaced display around 4months ago , and now from 1month i am facing the same problem again ,
When i Swipe notification panel from very Left side , at 40% times , it doesn't drop down , it goes upwards ,
I have faced in Six guns game , Moving button isnot working properly sometimes , than i have to lock the screen , and unllock the phone again , after that touch starts working normally , again It stops again i lock the screen and so on.........
So is this common problem with most of the Alpha's screen ?
Same issue here... bought 2 months ago with Lollipop 5.0.2 already installed. Very annoying with games!!
By the contrary, I also noticed extremely high sensitivity over the screen: I don't even need to touch the screen to press buttons, simply approach finger by half centimeter it is enough. I don't know if it's something expected, but I didn't noticed this with my former Galaxy S.

Its a very strange thing , touch fixed it self and its working fine again since 15 days , i think its software problem
it happened with me too , i'm running 4.4.4 stock , i wasn't able to tap on the wifi button on the top left , enabled the "show touches and show pointer location " on developer options and found that the top left corner is not working , strangely i restarted the device and its all working again so i think its a software problem , also i'm suspecting its related to using a screen protector , didnt try further tho

It seems it's not software related, issues are confirmed both with Kitkat and Lollipop.
It's strange because on my alpha i haven't notice any issue about the touch screen.
Please, can you do this simple test to analyse the overall screen sensitivity?
On 'Settings' go to 'General' tab.
Then roll down to 'Developer Options'.
Activate "Show touches" and "Show pointer location" - it will show the touch interactions on screen (it looks like scratches but don't worry they are just drawings).
Then slide your finger over the screen surface and notice if the track is marked in all areas. Especially in the upper left corner. If you notice a fault on the track in this spot it means the screen has a 'dead' sensitivity area.

I found there is a more simple way to run several test on our device (and also available in other Samsung models): type on the telephone keypad *#0*#
As I reported previously, my screen was touch insensitive on the upper left side. Everyone can check this running the 'Touch' test.
My screen module was replaced under warranty and it seems fine now.
I just got this bad boy yesterday and now it seems that I can no longer scroll the second screen by swiping on it to access the quick toggles when the main screen is off. Last night I was able to, but today it seems stuck on just showing the time/date and notification icons. No matter what I do I can't get it to scroll to the quick toggles anymore. Anybody else have this issue? Any fix? I have the AT&T version if that means anything.
TIA
Figured it out. I turned KnockOn off and apparently that disabled the whole digitizer when the main screen is off. As soon as I turned it back on, my second screen started working again.
Having two issues with my S9+ I just got today. Hoping someone can help:
1.) Full screen mode - I opened up a game which displayed in the correct resolution, but didn't take up the entire screen. There was a small area of black at both the top and bottom of the screen, so the game was not taking up the whole screen. I turned on full screen mode, which fixed this problem, however, it basically lowered the resolution on the game and it made everything huge. Can't seem to fix this to where my game uses the whole screen and the correct resolution like it should and does on other phones.
2.) Lock screen pattern - On previous android phones, the 9 dot pattern would automatically show up when I pressed the power button to turn the screen on. On this phone, it's not. Also, the 9 dot pattern box is small compared to what it used to be on other phones. I have it set currently to not show the swipe pattern when I swipe in my pattern to unlock the phone, but I'd like to not have to swipe first to get the pattern box to show, as well as make the pattern box bigger. On my old phone (LG V10) there's an option under lock screen settings that says "Hidden Pattern - Show pattern dots when tapping on the screen" that turns it on so the swipe box comes up as soon as you turn the screen on. Can't find this on the new version.
Any ideas?
Thanks
