Hi,
I’m using Samsung Galaxy Note 8.1 device. These days I’m facing a wired issue. Sometimes touch screen doesn’t work. I list down the symptoms of the issue below.
Sometimes touch screen doesn’t work, but styles works fine.
When I lock the device, unlock then touch works again for few seconds and fails.
Lock – unlock few times then touch works again.
Model: GT-N5120
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband version: N5120DXCMG7
Please help me to resolve this frustrating issue.
Cheers
Karu.

Are you on a stock rom or custom? Have you tried doing a factory reset to see if it fixes the issue? If you are unrooted/stock have you tried asking Samsung about the issue? Read in other forums that draining the battery on the tablet until dead and then letting it charge to 100% without turning it on or using it fixes some touch issues but no idea if this works.
If all else fails might want to think about upgrading to the official 4.4.2 release (if there is one for the 5120 but assuming there is) and see if the issue still exists.

It could be that the tablet is not detecting the Spen properly... as if your case or screen protector is doing something odd.
I run Xposed Framework... even though it works well, I find bugs with its plug ins... so every once in a while I disable xposed to fix an issue in the settings by toggling the parameter for the troubled function and enabling framework before rebooting.
Hi,
Thanks for the replies.
I'm not using any custom ROM. I'll try with Samsung corp. Meantime if anyone knows a solution or a workaround then much more appreciated.
Cheers,

Hello. I recently have a problem with my screen. It's clicking itself in random places I can'u use it anymore. I don't know how to explain it.

Please help...

Looks like a hardware issue - you may need to have it physically repaired.

I had the same problem recently. I thought my little cousin killed it or something.
I read up on the net to see how to fix it. There were stuff like auto brightness, Wi-Fi, etc. Doesn't work.
Then somebody said to disconnect the battery and reconnect which worked for him...no luck for me (tricky taking it apart w/o breaking it).
I tried factory default and nothing.
Then I realized the last time I used this was months ago...Google pushed out an update.
So, I decided to reflashed it back to 4.4.3.
IT WORKED!!!
I tell you, nobody does software testing like they should anymore.
I wasted a couple of days to figure this out and reflash the device.
Give it a try.
I am not sure if it is touch issue or display issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdMbbML9ECg Please have a look at this link.
The touch works for 2 seconds of screen on. Anyone having same issue? Please reply if anyone has fixed this issue.
same problem.
It's like the smartphone, after a 2 second make a check then blocks the touch.
I noticed that if I touch the screen before turning on the smartphone, the touch does not hang after 2 seconds but after more than 2 minutes.
I'm not sure it's a hardware problem; I still believe that it can be solved by preventing the above control.

Which ROM and Kernel are you using? Should be a kernel related issue, try flashing a different ROM or Kernel.

I had the same. I used a piezoelectric of a lighter to give static shocks to the screen while touching it with the other finger. It worked.

hi i get the same problem any solution for this problem
I had the same issue, and fixed it by removing the screen protector. Now the touch has been working since yesterday

I am also facing the same problem on my phone.
I tried discharging the phone completely and charging again.
I use the original charger only.
I'm running Pixel Experience ROM on stock kernel. This problem started a week after unlocking and rooting my phone. I also feel that it is not a hardware issue.
The problem started with the nav. buttons: The rest of the screen functioned properly but the nav buttons were unresponsive. A little later (a few hours), the entire screen responded to touch intermittently, and after that it responded only a few seconds after unlocking the phone (the above mentioned problem).
I am having a very tough time as this is my daily driver and I'm stuck.
Please Help. Thanks a lot in advance.

This is exactly what has happened to me too. It started with the nav. buttons and then the rest of the screen. Have you found out what is to be done?
Guyz try a cell ,u know those 1.5 v cells use them as the s pen im not joking it really works u just try once
No solution whatsoever!! I just cannot believe this is a hardware problem. My screen works (most of the time) for 2mins if I wake the screen up while touching it with one of my fingers, otherwise the screen works only for 2 secs.
This problem has been discussed in very few places although there are many people who are affected. Loosing hope.
Can I exchange this phone on Filpkart/Amazon in India?

I exchanged my z2 plus with this problem on Amazon without any problem. They only want a phone which switches on and whose display is not cracked

Exactly how did you did that? Could you explain?
Broke a piezoelectric lighter and got the raw mechanism.
I made it discharge several times on the affected area while touching another area of the screen with another finger

Workaround
I tried one workaround indicated by someone else on another thread. Follow below steps
Press power button to put screen off
Hold phone in left hand and put left thumb on screen
Press power button to start screen
Touch with right hand fingers
It will work till left thumb is there on screen..
If touch is lost follow from step one
Atleast this helps alot instead of only 2-3secs stuff..
Thanks to one who indicated this workaround
Found a solution
Hi I was also facing this problem and I was ready to give up then I tried changing custom ROMs and when I installed the dot os v2.4,the problem disappeared and I was back to using the device normally
Hope this helps

Are you still running the stock ROM, or have you installed anything custom?
