Android Touch Screen Not Working Problem Fix

Follow the steps mentioned below until your problem is sorted.

Advertisement

1. Restart Your Android Device

It works 80% of the time. Screen locking/managing applications often make touchscreen unresponsive. In that case you need to restart your Android device.  How can I reboot my tablet, the touchscreen is not working.. Good question!

  • Grab your Android tablet/phone
  • Press and hold the Power Button for 10 seconds or until  the screen goes blank.
  • Wait a minute or two and then power on your device normally using the same button.

2. Eject Memory Card and Sim

Shutdown your Android device and remove the Memory card and Sim(s) attached to it. Also, remove the battery for few seconds if possible.

3. Remove Any  Cases

Smart cases are good in protecting your device from scratches and damage. But their automatic screen wake/sleep feature sometime cause the device to malfunction. Remove the case, perform a restart.

4. Hard Reset your Android

For advanced users. If everything else doesn’t work, try doing a hard reset on your phone. This will wipe your phone/tablet and return it to its original condition.  This usually involves holding down Volume-Up and Volume-Down button together and then pressing Power Button (every phone has different method). It starts your device in Recovery mode, you can do a Wipe-Factory-Reset from there. Use volume up/down buttons to navigate and press Power button to select. Be careful and don’t mess with other options or  you may brick your phone.

5. Knocking the Touchscreen (Not recommended)

Remove the Screen Protector on your Android device if present.  Now, gently knock every corner of your touchscreen to realign it. Sometimes continuous phone drops cause screen digitizer cable to loses its connection to device motherboard however, its a rare case.

If you are still unable to make touchscreen work maybe its time to claim warranty, Its a lengthy process but works. Also, post comments below to share other tips not mentioned in this article.

  1. Thanks a lot. I was having trouble unlocking my android phone pattern after a drop. I used the ‘not recommended method’ the KNOCKING and it worked! Thanks for the idea.

  2. hi. My myphone android phone fell yesterday for about 1 1/2 meter high. Though there happened to be a small crack at the lower screen, the screen display was still functioning but the “back” and “menu” button (located at the bottom of the display screen) was not working at all. I can’t figure out what to do. Is there no other remedy aside from buying a replacement for a glass broken? will I not reboot my phone and then it will work? Is the digitizer, lcd and glass need to be replaced?

  4. My device was crushed when my friend sat on it .The screen broke into two with a huge crack on it only and 30 percent of the screen is working what should i do.

  6. my galaxy pocket is rooted but i accidentally used jelly mod instead of jelly blast so i wipe the entire things in the phone but i cannot click the android in my screen so i cannot follow the instruction.. please help me. i am 12 years old. ples help me thannks.

  7. Thanks a lot. I was having trouble unlocking my android phone pattern after a drop. I used the ‘not recommended method’ the KNOCKING and it worked! Thanks for the idea.

    Hihi.. Nice one bro… Thanks you, now my phone working well !!

  9. I have a problem on my Star N9800. Sometimes when I turn on the screen it doesn’t respond to my fingers. Then I off/on it few times and it starts working again. Could it be connected to CPU? It’s octa-core CPU and it maybe doesn’t turn on the cores at right time so phone freezes? Because turning off/on the screen usually helps. It’s like cores start up and I can use it again.

  10. My android tablet can on, all buttons are working except the ok button. It didnot fall down. What do I do? I’ve tried d above options

  12. I accidentally dropped my phone — alcatel one touch scribe easy — and it became unresponsive. Everytime I reboot my phone it starts working like normal but as soon as the phone locks/sleeps, I’m no longer able to wake the phone.. I mean it’s no longer responding to the touch.. I have tried hard reset and knocking but it stays the same. Could someone help me please?

  13. Wayne. Try removing magnetic protective screen case and try again. Also, perform a factory reset on your phone.

  14. can u briefly tell the KNOCKING method ?
    and my andriod phone, all applications are running by them selves

  15. Thank you so much!My heart was in my mouth when my phone was not working but the hard reset placed my heart in its right place afterwards.Thanks again!!!

  16. Hi. I got a problem whit my touchscreen keyboard. If i want to whrite, it starts to whrite diffirent spells. It does crazy things. What i can do?

  17. @Rii,
    If that bit was helpful to you, you’re gonna love this handy piece of advice:
    Let me go farther with this “reboot” thing. I’d say, probably 70-75% of all IT-support issues can be solved by simply restarting a single machine–or several codependent machines (e.g. rebooting both a modem and router, at the same time to reset/refresh a network). If you ever have an issue with anything that can “boot up”–whether it be a smartphone, tablet, PC, gaming console, router, Roku box, etc–do yourself a favor; save yourself hours of headaches and make sure you do a reboot first before you consider any other types of troubleshooting. Most times, that’ll be your answer–at least temporarily.
    So, there you go! 🙂 Hope that helps somebody.

  24. Hi there

    I have a weird issue with my HTC Wildfire S …. last night I answered a call no problem but since then my phone though it looks ok with messages coming in etc well it simply wont let me answer calls on in any way interact with the screen. Its like I can see the phone but have no way of interacting with it.

    I’ve tried removing battery and SD card plus SIM and rebooting which works fine but the screen stubbornly refuses to let me do anything. Could a connection be loose in there somewhere?

    Only thing of value is my contact list as for some reason when I had my SIM replaced it didn’t contain my contacts so I’m guessing they are phone only.

    I’ve tried tethering the phone to my laptop but I can’t get into it that way to retrieve anything

    Any help very gratefully received!

  25. I desperately need your help.I’m experiencing problem with my andriod phone touch

  26. My Samsung Illusion was recently dropped in water. After keeping the battery and phone in rice for about 6 hours, it turns on now but I cannot use the touchscreen, and the words safe mode are in the bottom left corner. What do I do?

  27. My Spice MI 422 is not working. I am not able to do anything after restarting my phone, not drag the unlocker, or anything at all. It was working fine until yesterday. I removed the sim and memory card, still not working, I reinserted them. Not able to turn on hard reset mode by pressing volume up and power button together for 10 seconds. Nothing happening. Help please, if you can.

  28. My Myphone agua rio does not function well, specifically on its screen, the bottom part of the touchscreen suddenly malfunctioned. I need help please

  29. i got problem with my android phone i think it lost its alignment but only on the bottom part, because whenever i touch the bottom right part the one that is being clicked is the other side (the application that is on the left part). please please help !! i hope you could help me

  30. i practially have to pound on my tablet to get any response. i have a keyboard also attached and some times that isnt responsive either.

  33. My zenfone5 was dropped into water and some part of the screen isn’t working. Left the phone in rice to dry but oy some part of the scren is working. Anyone is able to fix this problem?

  34. If phone is dropped in water the touch screen will possibly damage due to water penetrated inside the phone screen and there is a electric ribbon cable connected to touch screen that passes the message of your finger touch on screen, therefore open phone and dry the touch screen, if it does not work than you will possibly need to replace the touch screen.

    Also, if touch screen works at some times and some times doesn’t and you have tried all possible methods by cleaning the screen or verify if the phone is hanged due to any software or low memory, if the finally issue looks like related to hardware, it means touch screen possibly need a replacement.

  36. hold the power/ volume up/ and home buttons together for a few seconds the phone will vibrate and the reboot options will come up on the screen. use the volume up and volume down buttons to tab through the list options. use the home button to select. if you use the restore to factory settings option you will delete everything on the phone and it cannot be retreived unless you’ve backed up your information on google via your google account. hope this helps.

  37. Tried the rebooting thing (power button + volume buttons) it went all black then said downloading in the center but nothing happened after that? What should I do?

  38. thank you soooooooooooooooooo much. I was afraid to tell to mom but i figured it out by the not recommended method and i also saw it in the comment i didnt wanna try that method but i was forced to do as there was no other way.

  73. the first time I dropped my phone there were two minor cracks at the top and at the bottom. it was working fine for about 30 minutes. when I came back to my phone the top half of my screen was not responding. since then i have been rotating my screen in order to use some apps on my phone. just today i dropped it again and a few more cracks formed, now the whole screen isn’t responding. only the VERY TOP is working (where the notification bar is) and i have my touch feedback on so thats how i know. i was wondering if this method will work even though my screen is cracked ? please someone answer. I have a LG G2 with tmobile, thanks.

  74. Tab S 8.4, less than a month old, has become completely unresponsive. Screen mostly. Tried hard reset, wipe, clear cache, etc. No love. I want to get into “accessiblity settings” to adjust screen sensitivity FIRST, but even before the thing is set up I can’t get the screen to respond.

    Holding just power button wouldn’t work, I had to do the 3 button salute several times over.

    We had a problem with the wifi as well, it can’t access other computers on the same wifi to get files. Useless device.

    Question really is, would it be better to go through Amazon, Square Trade Warranty, or Samsung for repair/replace?

  90. Im not sure why it’s (not recommended) to do the knocking on the 4 sides of the screen because after 2 days of extreme frustration and 2 days completely without a phone (I was waiting for money/availability to get new phone and remembered I had a warranty) I decided to utilize my warranty. So when I started searching how to do that and if there were ANY possible troubleshooting options I could try in the meantime for the issue I was having, (I didn’t think anything could be done) I came upon this article. And after trying EVERY SINGLE one of the options (even though I had already tried the reboots and removal of sims and batteries, etc) the knocking was the ONLY thing that worked!!! And I’ve read it worked for a couple other people as well as they posted in their comments. So why is it NOT recommended?

  91. My touchscreen has been unresponsive for about a month so I decided to search solutions before completely giving up, so glad I found this site.

  136. I dropped my TG-TEK tablet on the ground and the screen busted. Once I saw the crack, I said to myself, “No biggie.” Then, I went onto my tablet later that day and found that my screen was unresponsive to my touch. I’ve tried all of the tricks to getting the screen to work without having to reset my ENTIRE tablet. Is there another way?

  137. To help you understand why “knocking” works most of the time… The touchscreen (digitizer) is taped together with the LCD with double-sided tape.. This creates a capacitive sandwich to respond the touch of the user, as the contact to glass changes the signal at the point of contact. Dropping your device in any manner, water or hard surface, has an effect on the contact surface. So, “knocking” the screen helps reconnecting the two, thereby getting the screen to work again. Removing the battery resets the capacitive charge to the monitoring sensor within NORMAL operating range. Drying any moisture that the device incurred is very critical, as electronic charges depend on dry conditions. In addition to assisting to repairing the physical adhesive contact of the tape. One additional trick, that was mentioned, is pulling the battery & run an iron over the screen to dry & recondition the adhesive. I have used a hairdryer, curling iron and a few other uniformed hear sources. Start out slow & low, warm the surface as equally as possible. Lightly & carefully check the surface temperature or use a thermometer. Once you warm the surface to approximately 400 and on a flat surface, go ahead and place a dictionary or similar evenly distributed surface & good weight. Allow the device to return to room temperature. Hope this helps you understand why knocking the screen helps.
