Anyone having issues with screen sensitivity?

penpen21 — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 20:53:13 GMT

I've noticed a few times that my screen doesn't respond to touch. Today I tried the pencil and I'm having trouble with that as well. Attached is a picture I attempted to draw vertical lines on (top to bottom of image). You can see where the pencil didn't work properly. I don't have a screen protector on and my screen is not set to increased sensitivity. Thanks for any feedback!

Do you have a magnetic case and accessories on your phone?

The area you are showing in the screenshot is where an accessory would interfere with the Spen.

OMG thank you, pen issue solved. It's my case.

I am still losing screen touch response using my finger so not sure what could be causing that.

Turn on "touch sensitivity" and see how that goes

Thank you, I did turn that on and will see if that helps.

Who's screen protector are you using?

I'm not using one. My screen is bare.

Go to diagnostics in the support tab section of the Members app and run it.

Try Spigen cases. I am using Neo One and haven't experienced any interference between the magnetic ring and S-Pen.

I'm using the Spigen Hybrid mag fit case. I realized after my last post that it's the pop socket that interferes with the pen, not the actual case. So when I remove the magnetic pop socket, the pen works.

Thank you for this! After running it, I realized the issue might be my keyboard (SwiftKey)

Oh ok... that's good then. Spigen works great in my experience. I had ESR case on S24U and was interfering. I had to take the case off in order to use spen.

Yeah, it's attached accessories that monkey with S Pen operation. Magnetic cases by themselves seem to be ok.

I'm having the same issue, not registering my screen touch. Like hit next, or submit on a form, keypad, it's not all the time but even rebooting doesn't always work

I'm trying to keep a mental track of when it happens and which app. It's not all the time, but it's happened to me at least a few times.
