Ghost touches sometimes on Samsung Galaxy tab A8 tablet

For a few weeks now I have been experiencing "ghost touches" on my Samsung tab A8 randomly. Some days I can't use it at all. I have erased the data cache partition. I restart it and it works sometimes and sometimes it don't. I don`t know what to do. The screen isn't cracked at all and there's plenty of storage on it. Help

@BBlissful Do you happen to have a screen protector on your device? Sometimes when the screen protector starts to come loose it can cause ghost touches.

You should run the diagnostics for the touchscreen available here in the Members app in the Support area and see what the results are. You can also create feedback there to Samsung tech support about your problem.
