Screen will become unresponsive to touch when awakened (cover is lifted)

Screen will sometimes become unresponsive to touch when turned on (cover is lifted). 

Problem: turn on screen by lifting cover after a while of inactivity

Randomly, screen will not respond to touch

Solution: must turn screen off then on again in order to get it to work.

Frequency: varies, seems to happen at random.

When this started happening: After the update to Android 13, One UI 5

Samsung Galaxy S7 tablet

What I did so far... Turned off Automatic unlock in the Accessories category of settings. (So far so good).

What Samsung said: seems to be "cover mode error." They wanted me to record it happening, but it's random! I can't get it to happen at will. 

I've read that others were having problems with waking their screen and it becoming unresponsive, but the majority of those are on phones. Any other tablet users experience this?

Try rebooting into recovery mode and clearing the cache partition. Reboot and try again.

Are instructions in your post, **ISSUES AFTER ANDROID 13**?

[KennewickMan]

The procedure is the same as my post.

[KennewickMan]

Yes, but I believe the tablets have a different procedure. Try anyway and I'll go check JIC.

I thought tablets would have a different procedure.
Wishing, though, that clearing cache partition were as easy as clearing the cache of an app.

It is easy once you do it. Follow my procedure in my post **ISSUES AFTER ANDROID 13**

[CatGymnPaint]

That procedure doesn't work anymore on Android 13 unless tablet is connected to a computer. Really bad move by Google. 😕 👎

[KennewickMan]

True, but did you try it?

[CatGymnPaint]

Yes, I had my son-in-law do it. He was unsuccessful, then looked it up.
