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.

Following the update on 5th of April approx. I have lost all use of my screen unless using the stylus, I know lots of people have had the same issues. Updates following this have not fixed my problem. I have update google, done the cache partition in safe mode. Its getting a little old now. Does anyone have a definitive fix. thanks in advance.

The only fix is getting your screen replaced unfortunately...and make sure it's genuine Samsung parts

Solved it myself with help from tutorials at xda developers.

Backup phone, installed odin and downgrade firmware, had to flash full_csc and not home_csc. Restore data from backup. Developer options, do not apply auto updates. And its been working properly, except fingerprint scanner never makes 100%, for over a week.

Nothing to do with Google apps, just Scamsung turning your phone into a paperweight, I've been dedicated to Scamsung, last four phones have been S8+, S10+, S21 ultra and S23 ultra and a Galaxy 5 smartwatch, well this debacle has definitely cost you any more business from me.

Hello, did you receive any help from Samsung. I'm experiencing the same with my S21 Ultra

[Lilith66]

Samsung is of no help. They will not speak on this issue

Ami always tells me the software update is interrupted, I don't even get one UI 6, that makes me sad in Florida.
