I backed up my photos & messages and performed a factory reset. I skipped the Samsung Smart Switch & set things up from scratch as a new device. That's the safest way to go. I ran everything as stock for a few days (launcher, keyboard, etc) and was still experiencing touch issues, so I stuck...

I don't know. I'm not convinced it's hardware. I had pretty severe issues in exactly the areas you described. It was especially bad when using the phone while it was laying on a table. After a factory reset and using stock Touchwiz for a while (about 48hrs) the issue magically disappeared. My...

It's strange. After performing a factory reset and using stock Touchwiz (which is surprisingly quite good) for the past week or so, the problem seems to have disappeared randomly. I say randomly because immediately after the reset there was little to no change and the lack of sensitivity was...

Update: gave in and performed a factory reset. No real improvement. I'm going to leave things as stock as possible to see if it magically fixes itself, but I doubt it'll improve. I'm starting to accept this is likely a hardware issue (sigh)

I would recommend leaving the screen protector on as I don't think removing it would help. I am not using one and I'm still having issues. It is frustrating though. Hopefully it's just a software issue and can be resolved.

Going without a case is hardly a solution though. That's ridiculous. Besides, the issue persists with or without a case, especially when the device is laying flat. When I set the phone on a table I have to physically push the screen for it to register at all in most areas. I think I'm going to...

Has anyone else tried laying the phone on a flat surface to see if it makes it worse? Most people don't actually use their phone that way so I'm thinking more people may have this issue and might not realize it.

Yes. Currently without a case. No improvement.

Just like to chime in here and say I have been experiencing screen sensitivity issues on my S6 as well. I've also noticed that it's much worse when using the device on a flat surface. The sides of the screen barely register input at all. You basically have to perform a long press. It's also...
