The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ have barely been on sale, but unfortunately, some Galaxy S9 and S9+ users are reporting dead zones. Frequent complaints have been raised in numerous Reddit posts and the official Samsung forums and it seems to be more common on Samsung Galaxy S9+ compared to the Galaxy S9.
A majority of people have tried fixing these problems by doing a factory reset or turning up the screen’s touch sensitivity, but it doesn’t go away completely. On the other hand, some people have returned their devices back to Samsung to get a replacement. All screen issues would be covered under Samsung’s 1-year warranty for device workmanship.
Reports are showing that when a phone is affected by this problem, some portions of its touchscreen do not work, at least for the peak part. And actions such as long-pressing or swiping can be ignored often.
However, Samsung has officially responded in regards to reports of Galaxy S9/S9+ smartphones with touchscreen problems.
At Samsung, customer satisfaction is core to our business and we aim to deliver the best possible experience. We are looking into a limited number of reports of Galaxy S9/S9+ touchscreen responsiveness issues. We are working with affected customers and investigating.
a Samsung spokesperson said.
We encourage any customer with questions to contact us directly at 1-800-SAMSUNG.
If your Samsung Galaxy S9 or S9+ smartphone is encountered, it’s possibly best to stay in touch with Samsung to get an RMA (Return Materials Authorization). But besides, if you have purchased a device under the company’s trade-in program, you might want to wait it out just a little bit, as plenty of users are reporting problems with the process.
