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.

Same issue here, lost touch screen after the Samsung update UI 6.1. Important to note I had my screen replaced, it should not be an excuse for Samsung f..up.

Not that anyone needs confirmation at this point, but I put back in my old, cracked screen and the touch came back so it's 100% 3rd party screens. The company I bought my 3rd party from is accepting returns and will replace with a new batch that apparently works...so it's fixable. 

With that said, Samsung not commenting on this is unacceptable.

I just had mine replaced entirely getting it tomorrow unfortunately they didn't have black but green isn't bad. Unfortunate I even had to go through Verizon but hey didn't cost anything

Thanks for that proof. It'll make the class action lawsuit that's going to hit them more solid. I mean whomever approved that line of code to disable the screens should be fired bc they will cost Samsung a pretty penny in lost customers and legal fees. Way to go Samsung, you are officially worse than Apple now in your greed!

After no comment from samsung about a patch for this issue, they lost a customer. The accepted solution in this thread does not help those affected. I will be looking into new phones, none from samsung. Good luck everybody.

I'm calling customer support again tomorrow morning and bitching them out. I was kind and understanding when it first happened but it's been a little over 3 weeks and ZERO word other than blaming Google and I will not tolerate this. I'm having battery issues now too
