The touch screen responds slowly or improperly
If your device has a touch screen and the touch screen is not responding properly, try the
following:
•
Remove any protective covers from the touch screen. Protective covers may prevent the
device from recognising your inputs and are not recommended for touch screen devices.
•
Ensure that your hands are clean and dry when tapping the touch screen.
•
Restart your device to clear any temporary software bugs.
•
Ensure that your device software is upgraded to the latest version.
•
If the touch screen is scratched or damaged, take it to your local Samsung Service Centre.
