How to fix touch sensitivity issue with screen protector - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion

Ok this may be well known for many, but it might help some people if you have glass protector which degrades touch sensitivity. Me and my friend bought S9+ yesterday together with Samsung protective case and Panzerglass screen protector and we both were having huge sensitivity issues with the glass on the display. Apparently there is an easy fix for this implemented by Samsung. (Havent had android phone since Note 4 and didnt know about this). Just search for "touch sensitivity" in the settings menu and toggle it on, the screen works flawlessly with the protector on it now.

Ipaq 614 Screen

Hi to everybody, would I have a question for the forum, to someone it results that the screen of the ipaq 614 have some problems of operation with the you protect applied screen?? honestly I hope that is not true, because otherwise it would be really a disappointment.
bye
I've had little problem after I applied protector... but seems it was my fault.
I was trying to protect the display surface as much as I could and I cut the protector little wider than the visilbe display.
then I applied the protector stickin' it to the edges and the touch display stopped working.
after removing the protector display was ok. the issue was probably that somewhere in the edge the case was pressing constantly on the display covered with protector...
so I'd bought thinner protector, cut only size of visible display and now it is all fine.
The only problem I have with my protector is that the stylus scratches it and its got visible wear marks where my fingers constantly press. Resolution and sensetivity is apparently unaffected.
BTW, I disassembled the phone to place mine on the screen. Surprisingly, there was not a single warranty-voiding sticker type device anywhere to be found.

[Q][A510] Screen protector

Which would you guys prefer/recommend, matte vs clear screen protector for the A510?
1)Which would likely to affect the touch sensitivity?
2)those with matte protectors, how do u think about the screen display after installing it?

Not matter which you choose, with the A510's current firmware, you will most likely loose screen sensitivity after a restart. You'll need to toggle sensitivity every boot.
I've tried a matte protector before. I didn't like it. Yes, it does make the screen look premium and classy and smudge free. But the all of my whites were exploding into a rainbow of different colored pixels. Note that some users don't mind though. I'm just extra OCD.
Bottomline, I'd rather wipe my screen every day, rather than look at my whites explode.
thx
thanks for the opinion, salisbury_steak!
I've installed a matte screen protector few hours ago. personally, I feel much contented and satisfied.
but I do agree with the screen sensitivity. however, I have had no problems with the touchscreen sensitivity back when I was using 1.044.. now im using 1.076, and yes, I have to disturb the touch sensitivity option on every restart.
You're welcome. And you're correct, at the end of the day, it is your tab. I'm glad you're happy with your selection.

Touch issues after screen replacement...look here

(There's plenty of guides to help you replace your screens out there...so I would redo one of those.)
Ive replaced a few of these S3 screens with new glass and the double sided tape method and the only issue that always happens is that the glass will touch the digitizer in the middle once in awhile. This registers a touch that is stuck on and locks up the rest of the touch screen. The only work around is pressing on the glass around the outside of the lcd to release the unwanted touch. Tonight I discovered a great method for curing that problem. I removed the glass and cleaned up very well. Then applied a cut down screen protector for a LG spectrum to underside of the glass to bridge the gap between the glass and the digitzer. (The spectrum protectors was big enough to trim down to the right size) Retaped and assembled. This has worked perfect to correct and the screen looks great! Make sure to buy a screen protector that is clear. A protector that is anti-glare would dim the display. With the clear you cant tell its there. The touch screen acts like new. Very happy with the results!!

interesting. i have recently replaced my S3 with the prokit from amazon, but had occasional touch issues like you described. i might try this. to be clear, with the screen protector, do you still need to apply any adhesive between screen and digitizer?

No you do not need adhesive/loca between ur screen and digitizer. BTW I've went down that road with using the adhesive...not very fun. The UV glue method is tough to apply correctly. That is why I was experimenting with the under glass screen protector method.
One more add on to my description of adding the screen protector between glass and digitizer is doubling up on the double sided tape around the perimeter. I wanted to make sure I got the tape high enough to bridge the slightly larger gap between the glass/digitizer due to the screen protector. Hope this helps.
maybe not the perfect solution....
The wifes phone that I tried this fix on is working awesome. She said it hasnt had one issue since. But I've tried this method on two other S3 without the same sucess. Both were the US Cellular verisons of the phone (wifes is Verizon), and both still had touch screen lockups. So had to redo with the LOCA replacement method to cure issues. Just FYI...

Screen protector on phone in box? Can we remove it?

Hi,
Just got this phone and I can't be 100% if it has a screen protector fitted to it already or it is one of the normal in box protectors just a bit thicker.
I don't really like it to be honest - I normally don't use screen protectors so wonder if someone removed it from theirs and how it is.
Thanks

It's a factory installed screen protector.. If I'm not mistaken, most honor phones come with one installed.. Like the 7x as well.. Up to you if you want to remove it..

Cheers, that's what I suspected..
The screen feels too resistant and a bit like an old tactile touch screen instead of a smooth 2018 screen with it on.
. I'll try it for a few days before I decide to take it off or not.

If you're on the latest 130 firmware version, touch sensitivity has gone down from the factory 100 version. It might not be the SP fault for low sensitivity..

I have removed it. It feels poly film type and not confident that it will provide any protection. Instead I bought teslar 3D screen guard and it worked well

Without the poly film screen is better. In fact with poly film the touches were sometimes not working and was not that smooth. For better experience you should remove it and use the phone or use any screen protector. Honor can ship something better in future.
The back cover is fine though and looks good with phone
On my phone the screen protector is not applied properly. It is at a slight angle so there is a small gap on the top half between the protector and the edge of the screen. That makes a sliver of brighter screen; it looks a bit weird.
I've just noticed how dirty this screen protector gets. It seems to catch fingerprints into a dull grey film and it doesn't wipe easily. I will have to remove the thing.

I removed mine and i tell u the screen is much better without it. The original screen does not keep finger prints, it gradually fades away.

Screen protector discussion

I think I just ran into my first real problem with the phone. I got a glass screen protector on Amazon, and it absolutely refuses to recognize my fingerprint with the glass on it. The error just keeps telling me to press harder. I never had any issue before without one on.
Took the screen protector off, and now it's back to normal.
I have each thumb trained twice, so recognition shouldn't be a problem at all. I think it's just too thick and it isn't sensing enough pressure to register the fingerprint.
Anyone find a good screen protector that works with fingerprint? I may have to go with a plastic one that won't be as thick as glass.

This is disappointing. When I first looked into this, I found someone claiming to have tested the Oneplus 6T fingerprint sensor with 3 screen protectors on top of each other. I concluded it was not an issue. But now I am seeing plently or articles suggesting that it depends. E.g. "Vivo did mention that only screen protectors of a certain thickness will work with the sensor". I wonder if Nokia will offer or recommend a screen protector.
Also, I don't know if Nokia are using the same sensor as Oneplus, but this is interesting: "[when registering] make sure your environment is not too bright. If possible, you should register a fingerprint in a completely dark environment."
Edit, also spotted this: "We also recommend re-registering your fingerprint every time you add or remove a screen protector."
So as an update, I applied the second screen protector that came in the 2-pack. Removed all of my fingerprints that were stored, and tried to setup new prints.
Took me about 200 tries to get my right thumb registered (not exaggerating), but I couldn't get it to actually read when trying to activate it.
Couldn't get my left thumb to register at all. Just kept saying to press harder. I was pressing so hard I thought I'd break the screen if I pushed harder.
Tried in bright light, as well as a completely dark room. Didn't change the ability for it to register at all.
So overall for this phone, I'm going to say glass screen protectors won't reliably work with the fingerprint scanner. I've ordered a plastic screen protector. Going to try that out, as I'm pretty sure it will work.
I imagine the thickness of glass is the culprit here, due to how the fingerprint sensor works even without a screen protector applied. It seems more difficult to activate than other in-display readers (I have 3 others with in-display readers and they're all incredibly easy to use).
Fingerprint issues aside, I normally go for glass screen protectors because the plastic ones tend to cause more drag when using the phone.
I have generally seen two models. One which is clear and another which has a black border, both with cutouts for sensors, cameras and speakers.
I'm unable to add a link as I'm new to the forums but both examples can be seen on Amazon by searching 'GEEMEE 9h nokia 9 pureview'
Has anyone bought these or similar protectors?
I am interested to know if the black border one covers any part of the screen. I think it looks better on the pictures but in real life I'm not sure how it would look.
I got the Mr.Shield 9h glass and it works fine. The issue with the fingerprint is a software issue. The warning to press harder is not correct. I've verified that the reader will read with normal to light pressure. Hopefully they will release an update that fixes it within the next couple months.

I just got the screen protector with the black borders, and it doesn't cover any part of the screen. I think it looks good. But I was a bit sloppy when I applied it and one of the corners has an air bubble which I can't get rid of.
But since I applied it, the fingerprint scanner is causing me problems. It has problems recognizing my prints

I ended up going for a clear one tempered glass protector. I have a couple of tiny bubbles which was just me rushing as I was excited.
The finger print sensor works fine as long as I get my finger in the correct place but that is a challenge. My thumb is more difficult but still possible. It hasn't been a massive burden though because I have been using face and trusted bluetooth device to good effect.
