These steps are also useful if you have undesired performing actions. These faults are all common problems that are known to the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus.

Our Recommendations

1. The S9 includes a sensitivity adjustment specifically for use with screen protectors. Try activating it. Go to Settings > Advanced features > Touch sensitivity and switch the toggle on
2. The first thing we should try to address is the way you hold and handle your Samsung S9 or Samsung S9 Plus. You should go for the most comfortable position for your hand but make sure it doesn’t involve bringing your fingers too close to the edges of the screen. A lot of users will notice they are making silly mistakes that can easily be avoided with a bit of self-control
3. Another problem users have noticed is their phone case. You may find that the design is incorrect and assists in accidentally pressing against the display. Try to remove the case for some time and see if there is a difference
4. If you find that removing the old case worked, it would be best to consider finding a different case. This will prevent you from accidentally touching the edges of the screen and still giving a good protection for your phone
5. Add a screen protector for accidental scratches. This should also help reduce the screen sensitivity for light touches

If the changes above have still not made a difference, it is a good idea to check for software updates. Sometimes the manufacturer will implement a new version of the Operating System to bring improvements for issues.
