Galaxy S7 Edge - Touch screen issues. Software/Hardware? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello!
I recently got myself a brand new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Just until this morning, it has worked like a charm.
I noticed some "delay " when scrolling Facebook, and it would not let me stretch the pointer when shooting out balls in BBTAN for those who are familiar with that game.
Using the *#0*# code and the "touch" test, I got the added results. Would this be a case of software or hardware issues? Phone is 10 days old, and I've got it insured.
Thanks! :laugh:

When some areas of the touch screen don't work you shouldn't even see the black lines on those areas...
IMHO only the central horizontal screen area looks to have some sensing problem.

Looks like part of the screen's connector has loosened. Definitely a manufacturing defect (assuming you didn't drop the phone or get it wet). I'd return it under warranty.

What setting do you use? Why?
I have a skin condition on the complete undersides of my hands (I believe it's called dermatitis or eczema) that causes them to be abnormally dry and peel thick layers off, almost 100% of the time.
Capacitive touch screens usually aren't sensitive enough for the weak current that passes through the tips of my fingers, but this setting, even with a screen protector, will detect one of my digits even if I hold it mere nanometers above the screen.
I also hated the jumpyness of swiping between homescreens due to 10 pixel movement detection. Bleh.
P.S. Did anybody else's Tapatalk favorites break recently? Mine just did.

Sorry, it looks like your screen died.
If you can't get it repaired or swapped under warranty, take it apart and try reseating the display connector.
I don't really think that that's the problem, but it's worth a try.
Replacement screens on the market cost about what a discount Nook costs.

[Q] Nexus 7 2012 New Screen Issue

Help: yesterday half of the screen of my Nexus7 gets blurred from the center to one side as shown in the photos. What's the cause and is there any solutions for me?
By the way, yesterday my Nexus 7 has been upgraded to 4.4.4, and after the upgrade, I dropped it to the ground by accident.
I reconnected the FPC connector of the LCD screen both on Nexus 7 mainboard and Screen side, and nothing helps.
I also re-flashed back to the old version of ROMs, and still the same issues.

One surprising finding: if I observe the blurred screen part carefully, I even can see some an offset light background of the home page in corresponding area disregarded any pages you are seeing.

need help from display hardware experts

I need help with my Note4's display. I paid a local phone repair shop to fix the cracked glass. when I got the phone back things looked different. most noticeably everything looked washed out, kinda greyish. I took it back to them and they replaced lcd. they said there was nothing more they could do and blamed the issue on the software. I reloaded the original firmware and the phone is now completely stock. I made a test pic with some gradients that confirmed my suspicions. the first pic attached, test2, is my phone side by side with a friends phone displaying the second pic, test. does anyone know what possibly went wrong?

Nexus 7 touch unresponsive

I have been using this device for more than 5 yrs. Recently screen rotation was not working so I tried to repair it by myself after watching some videos and forums. It was an easy process but due to my curiosity I dug into the hardware some more. During the process I mistakenly broke a piece from ZIF connector which was connected to the display. I don't know whether this could do anything to the touch. Now the touch becomes unresponsive. I am also thinking that the digitiser could be faulty but not ready to invest in a new one without knowing the real reason. Why this connector is for. Could this be the culprit? If so do I need to change the daughterboard? You can see the picture
