Tips to improve screen sensitivity on Android
In the event that Touchscreen Screen has confirmed that your screen is working properly, but you still see problems, you need to follow some additional methods.
Clean the screen
The first step to improve the sensitivity of your screen is apply a cleaning on this. Some traces of dirt can seriously affect the operation of the touch sensor. We advise you to use a soft, lint-free cloth and an alcohol solution specially designed to clean surfaces. Then, wipe with a dry cloth to remove any traces of alcohol.
Stop using a screen saver
Although the screen protector is great to prevent damage, it may be affecting the screen sensitivity. Before removing the protector, try to remember if the problems started after installing it. In that case, we advise you to remove it and test the operation of your screen without it.
Check if your device has additional sensitivity options
Some customization layers have additional sensitivity options. Samsung, for example, often includes an option that increases screen touch detection when wearing gloves. However, these functions are rare and are not usually available on most terminals.
Rule out that the cover has something to do with it
Use a case that does not fit the terminal well it will prevent you from tapping on certain areas of the screen. Make sure that the protective cover does not cover any area of the panel. It is also important that you check if you can make touches on all ends or if any area of the screen is inaccessible due to the case.
Update or restore mobile phone
If problems persist, then it is time to update device. It is likely that the manufacturer has detected the problem, in the case that it has to do with the software, and has solved it with a patch. If you already have your device updated, before taking the next step, restore the factory settings. This way you will eliminate the possible errors derived from an installed application or from changes made in the terminal options.
Contact the technical service
If your screen is still not detecting the keystrokes after performing the above checks, it is possible that the problem is with the sensor. In this case you are facing a hardware error. If this is the case, it is best to contact the technical service so that they can offer you a solution.
