I've had this issue at random once in a while. Usually turning the screen on/off fixes it. If it still doesn't work, try rebooting.
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,

Since 4.3 ROM I'm having trouble with my ZL accelerometer. It gets crazy sometimes, not responding or doing it wrong, thinking the phone is upside down for example. It's a real pain in the a$$.
To fix it, I had to enter the service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*) and calibrate it. Sometimes even this didn't work, Y axis got stuck, only rebooting made it go right.
The problem persists in KitKat 4.4.2. I don't know if it's a software problem (I didn't do a hard reset or tried reinstalling the ROM yet) or it's a faulty hardware (and the warranty is already expired, damn! ).
The service menu in KitKat is different from Jelly Bean. I can test the accelerometer in the service test menu (that little ball is not behaving well in my ZL), but there's no option to calibrate it.
How do I do that? Is there a way to calibrate the accelerometer in 4.4.2?
You can also suggest something to fix it definitively.
Great question,
I seem to always be pointing in the wrond direction in Maps as well.
I think it could be the same issue.
Anyone else having these issues?
Anyu sugestions.
I am running rooted - Stock 4.4.2
Cheers :highfive:
I Have the same issue with the accelerometer and don't find any solution for this
Ok so I am having a strange touch screen issues with both mine and my wife's tab S 10.1. It started on mine several weeks ago. When using the device, the touch screen will all of a sudden stop responding. If I press the home button, the device goes to the home screen, it just does not respond to any touch. If I press the power button to put the device to sleep and push it again to turn it back on the screen is working again but it will freeze up again, sometimes in less than a minute. When it first happened I tried to do a factory reset to see if that would help and the problem actually occurred during the initial device setup then so I know it's not related to an App that I have installed. I have sent mine to Samsung now three times trying to get them to fix it. They have replaced the screen once and said that there is nothing wrong the second time (still waiting on the determination of the third time). I have tried to research the issue but have not seen anyone experiencing the same thing. I do not have the rebooting issues that others have mentioned and turning the screen off and then back on does make it work, at least temporarily. I only remember noticing it since upgrading to Android 5 so I am going to try getting the device downgraded to Android 4.4.4 to see if that helps. Wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas. Samsung has basically told me if their techs say there isn't a problem they won't do anything for me.
A few people have mentioned touchscreen problems after upgrading to v5.0.2 mostly 8.4" but some 10.5" have you had any horizontal/vertical lines on the screen.

I have never noticed any lines. I have noticed after the first time at the repair center that the touch screen also seemed to be acting erratically, jumping around when trying to scroll or pan instead of having smooth motion. If I am able to get the device downgraded to KitKat and that improves things, I will just stay there until they figure out what is wrong with Lollipop.
I have stayed on kitkat because of the problems with lollipop, it`s just not worth it to me, but the majority of people don't seem to have any problems with it, I cannot see how upgrading to lollipop affects some touchscreens and not them all, but some people have reported the problem after upgrading i just don't know what to say.
It is normal for the touchscreen to behave erratic if you use it while your tablets is being charged, it is mentioned in the user manual.
I would say you have a faulty touchscreen, do you use a screen protector, have you tried the setting that increases the sensitivity of the touchscreen.
John.
I did not know about the charging item so that might explain the erratic behavior. I thought it might explain the screen locking up too but I know that has happened at times when I am not charging the device. I will be interested to see what happens this time when it comes back the third time from Samsung and whether downgrading my wife's device helps the issue on hers or whether we will need to fight with Samsung about hers as well.
For a couple months, I've had exactly the same problem on my Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (SM-T807V). It comes and goes in severity; some days, I lose all touch input every 5 minutes, it seems, while other days, I can go hours without trouble. Using the device without a case seems to help, as does restarting it, at least temporarily.
I have not sent my device to Samsung, nor have I performed a factory reset. But based on your experience, I'm not sure if either option is worth it.
Hi.
I would suggest removing any screen protector and cleaning the screen looking for any damage, download a touchscreen tester app from google play and testing your screen.
After searching around i found an touchscreen recalibration app for android, but i am very wary of it being fake or causing more damage or that it is for a specific brand of phone/tablet.
EDIT: I used an hex editor, and found this text within the apk file, see photo below.
John.
Well Samsung is finally sending the device back to me. This time they said the found the problem and replaced the main board and updated the software. So we will see what happens when it gets back to me tomorrow.
For anyone who is having this problem like I did. My wife has not had problems since she stopped using the device while it was charging. I have not had problems with mine since it got back related to this but whether that was Samsung fixing the issue or the fact that I also am not using it on my charger, I do not know. So if anyone else if having the problem, try the charger thing; otherwise, you may be looking at some kind of hardware issue that Samsung will have to resolve for you.
Most devices behave erratically while being charged. My HTC does it so does my tab.
Samsung even mention it.
Hi, i am having EXACTLY the same issue. The tab toucj freezes and normalizes if i lock it and unlock it with home button. I think its a software issue.

I have two of these from Verizon (T807V) and after updating them to 5.0.2 they both have this same behavior.
Quite annoying.
Any luck finding a cure ? I have noticed that the ram usage gets crazy. Any given time 1.8 gb is utilized out of he 2.77 gb available. I have uninstalled quite a few apps and shut down background processes but still the system is eating too much ram. Can any one help me on how to monitor aap ram usage ?

Hi.
I was reading the HTC forum as i have qone of their phones, and i read that some people were using an Samsung touchscreen app to boost the touchscreen as they were having problems, the app is called "SGS Touchscreen Booster" link below, The Tab S1 has it`s own touch screen booster in the settings, maybe try that first.

That's how android works. Its pointless trying to reduce ram usage if there is still ram to spare.
Android utilises ram not wastes it.

I had multiple problems with 5.0.2, ram hogging, touchscreen problems, my solution was to root and install a custom rom 4.4.4 the tablet is so much more responsive after reverting back to kitkat. I know it's not a solution for everyone but it fixed mine (SM-T800). Just throwing it out as an option.
Used kies today to upgrade to the latest firmware but still the problem continues. I have the Samsung sm t807v Verizon locked. Is there a way I can downgrade it to kit kat? Xda experts are saying it's bootloader is locked

This is a strange one I used to have the opposite. 4.4.4 every now and then touch screen stopped responding. Pressing power resolved it.
When I upgraded to LL the problem went away.
However I mostly use custom builds. At the moment the best for me is PhoeniX ROM.
Absolutely bug free so far.
Can't say I had any issues with Ironrom either.

I'm running BlissStalk (discontinued) but I haven't had any issues with it. I was running the CM11 unofficial also without issues. But the stock 5.0.2 it had on it when I purchased it (used) had issues. All my devices eventually end up with a custom rom eventually!

I flashed stock kitkat firmware via Odin... But it is a different tablet than yours (SM-T800). I found the following thread when I was trying to do it. Just make sure you flash the firmware for your specific model.

Bootloader unlocking
So basically searching around the internet to find a kitkat firmware for this. I think it can be downgraded but I need the stock firmware for the sm-t807v.
XDA forums have support for the other variants but for the one I have which is Verizons sm-t807v there are no STOCK firmwares anywhere.
Ashyx and steve if you know any resource, please help me out. I need to get this fixed. I don't have access to any verizon stores where I could go and get this fixed or sorted. It just me and the internet.
Hi!
I Have a ZE550ML with stock rom in the last firmware version released and its not rooted... since nearly a month im facing some ghost touches randomly in the touchscreen... The phone and the touchscreen works perfectly but, sometimes, witouth an aparently reason, the screen becomes "crazy" and after activate "Show touches" in developer options, i can see the screen is being touched by... nothing? x'D
Anyone else is facing this issue? Can anyone help me? I've already contacted with Zenfone 2 support in beta forum but... no answer..
Thank you,
Regards
not getting that issue, even after several falls. must be hardware related.

Im not sure if it is a digitalizer problem (HW problem) because it happens randomly and not 2 much often.. (lets say, 1 time every 40 mins of screen) and after lock & unlock the phone, the problem its gone)
