So it's been about 2 months since I got my tab s 10.5 and is the sprint variety . The issue I'm having is that randomly throughout the day I'm using the tablets and the screen gets completely unresponsive . Touches won't work the soft keys don't work . The only thing that works is the home button ,the power button and the volume up/down . I can fix it by locking it and unlocking the screen and then everything works again but as you use it the same things happens and you have to lock/unlock to fix it . I've already tried to factory reset it but it doesn't help . I don't know if is software or hardware issue since is fixed by locking/unlocking the screen. Any help would be greatly appreciate it.

I've seen similar threads on other devices but I'm not 100% sure this is the same problem...
My girlfriend's phone has been glitching out massively lately. By glitching out, I mean that it appears as if some invisible force is pressing and holding down the Home button. You can feel the phone vibrate in your hand as if you're pressing the buttons and it brings up the Recently Used Applications menu. If you try to press any other button to escape out of it, the phone doesn't do anything until it finishes with its seizure. Usually if you power it off for a few seconds, it will resolve the issue.
She is running non-rooted and stock. I can't say for sure what version of Android or Sense she's running right now, however I can provide that information when I can receive it from her. She recently dropped her phone that resulted in a shattered screen. I replaced the glass on Saturday and noticed the glitch myself afterwards (which makes me worried that the ribbon cable that controls those buttons was damaged or not properly set), however she tells me that the phone was doing this before she dropped it.
She's not running an application killer (I read that this might be the cause of this problem) and I'm hoping that installing a custom ROM on it will fix the problem. Does anyone else have this problem or know a solution?
Thanks,

Hi guys, I have a strange problem since yesterday morning: Touch buttons don't work anymore. When I press them it's like i press the bottom of the screen, for example if I'm in the home screen, pressing the "home" button will open the menu, and if I press the "search" button the phone opens the personalize menù. The phone didn't dropped (not recently as well) and the previous evening it functioned without problems, I played with games and all buttons worked. I've tried doing a factory reset, but it didn't solve the problem and it made the boot of the phone impossible (it stucked on the ROM splash screen endlessy) so I flashed another ROM through recovery but with no results, the phone works well in all of its functionality except for the touch buttons.
Can you help me with this problem? My phone is rooted so I'd like to not sending it to HTC for warranty reparation...

I'm afraid but that's the only option left for you to send to HTC because if it is a hardware problem and you waste all of your time trying to get the buttons working and you miss the warranty time then you'll just have to throw your phone in the bin

Hi, I have the same issues. My phone does not recognize touch when it is cold. When it was in the pocket outside or facing a table. 2-3 times turning on and off the screen brings it back working.
I read an article from Sprint that there are protector foil issues with the capacitive display, but I don't have any.

Hi, I guess I have the same issue. Bought the Note II a week ago, came with 4.1.1 and it automatically updated itself to 4.1.2, so don't know if this problem was present with 4.1.1
When I press the power button to lock the screen and wait about 10 minutes, the screen becomes unresponsive, no tap or swipe works. Have tried swipe, pattern, pin for unlocking, result is always the same.
Strangely, at that unresponsive state, the S-pen works and I can unlock and do other things. At that state, touching with the fingers still doesn't work.
The only way to return the screen back to normal is, press the power button again (sometimes need to press the power button twice).
Have done factory reset, the problem is still there with both Sim card and SD card removed.
Has any one found a solution, is this related with 4.1.2 upgrade or a hardware fault ?
Thx in advance,
Regards
I have sent mine for repair. It is a pity that Samsung does not do an exchange.
It is a hardware fault for sure. I made a video to demonstrate the behaviour.
