Galaxy stylus responsiveness

[sfrrr]

Does anyone else have this problem? The two upper corners of my screen appear to be dead to the Samsung stylus, but not to a finger tap.

Another idle question: how does the stylus for s21 ultra work?

Is it just a thinner version of those stylii we used to use on the very earliest Galaxy and Pixel units?

maybe.... the sensor for the stylus is dead in the corner? considering your finger touch is still recognized, that's the only thing coming to mind. Since you're not claiming that the stylus has other issues with other parts of the screen i'd assume the stylus is fine as well. I'd guess that this is something that needs to be looked into using more technical instruments like x-rays or high magnifying microscropes or such... could be just hairline fractures causing faulty sensory

Seems fine in the corners... What app are you having trouble with?

Any stylus that works with a pixel or a non-Note Galaxy phone, other than the S21 ultra, isn't the same as the S-Pen.

To fuzzylumpkin: doesn't vary with the app. Stylus just doesn't work in the two upper corners. But To the touch screen is working since my finger touch registers. So weird.

Mine works top 2 corners, can drag down notification panel with stylus. But since that is the notification area anyway, other than drop down what else can you do there?

The dead space includes a small distance below the notification bar.
