The touch screen responds slowly or improperly

If your device has a touch screen and the touch screen is not

responding properly, try the following:

Remove any protective covers from the touch screen.

●

Protective covers may prevent the device from recognising

your inputs and are not recommended for touch screen

devices.

Ensure that your hands are clean and dry when tapping the

●

touch screen.

Restart your device to clear any temporary software bugs.

●

Ensure that your device software is upgraded to the latest

●

version.

If the touch screen is scratched or damaged, take it to your

●

local Samsung Service Centre.

device is frozen and unresponsive, press and hold [ ] for

15-17 seconds. The device will reboot automatically.

If this does not solve the problem, perform a factory data

reset. In Idle mode, open the application list and select
