When to enable touch screen sensitivity on your phone?

Smartphones that encounter display-related issues such as delayed touchscreen response, ghost touch, or unresponsive touchscreen after an accidental dropping or liquid exposure are more likely to obtain some sort of physical or liquid damage that makes the display dysfunctional.

However, there are also some cases wherein a device would just succumb to a display problem and exhibit similar behavior due to some software glitch including rogue apps, bugs and malware that eventually ruined the phone’s normal touchscreen functions.

To deal with software-related display issues, activating some built-in features including touch sensitivity is recommended.

The fact that manual screen calibration is not permitted in newer smartphones makes it a suggested workaround, especially when the symptoms start to manifest after installing a screen protector.

Before removing the screen protector, you can try activating the Touch sensitivity feature from your phone’s display settings and see how your phone works while it’s activated.

Also be sure to use genuine screen protectors like tempered glass screen protectors that are perfectly made for your Samsung phone. You can view a rundown of the best screen protectors for the Galaxy S22 from credible sites online before procuring one.

What to do if touchscreen problems continue while Touch sensitivity enabled?

If the phone continues to misbehave even when you enable touch sensitivity, then that’s when you should consider resorting to some other potential solutions.

To save time and effort from performing unwanted troubleshooting procedures, try to think of when and what you did last before the touchscreen started to misbehave. For example, if it happens after installing a new app, then disabling the suspected app temporarily or uninstalling it permanently will likely fix it.

If the problem started after altering some settings, then it’s likely due to some settings conflicts. In this case, reverting back the settings or resetting all settings to restore default values and options is recommended.

You can also try using some third-party touchscreen calibration app, if you really intended to perform manual calibration on your device.
