Update 6.1 made touchscreen unusable without S Pen

[Lilith66]

After the update my touch screen will not work unless I use the Spen. Samsung made a comment blaming it on Google?? But I've heard from other people it's been an issue for a couple of years so I'm curious on when they plan to fix it because this is ridiculous, I have some apps where I can only log in with my fingerprint.

I've had 2 posts taken down about this and a private message from a mod saying I'm breaching commuity standards

T his issue has been a problem for a week yet Samsung is still offering the 6.1 update as I did it this morning and now my touchscreen doesn't work. Better hope no one dies because they couldn't call 911.

Exact same thing happened to me..all I hear is that the fix is coming. So aggravating using a stylist to operate my phone!!!!

the only way to fix the problem is replacing the screen with the original the aftermarket screen is not recognized with the new upgrade

I had to pay $320 for them to replace my screen because of this update. Completely ridiculous as it was not my fault

I've been dealing with this same issue for weeks. Sent phone in because it's still under manufactor warranty. Samsung won't pay for screen replacement, because it's not the original screen. RIDICULOUS!
