The Samsung Galaxy J7 problems with the touchscreen seem like a common issue for Android users that own the J7 smartphone from Samsung, and these problems are more than a little irritating. Touchscreen problems can really interfere with your productivity and enjoyment of using your phone.

Some of the issues occurring on the Galaxy J7 include problems such as the touchscreen being unresponsive to user input and similar problems.

Below, we’ll get into some of the solutions that you can use to fix some common touchscreen issues with the Galaxy J7. These solutions will help you get your phone’s touchscreen working properly so you get back to being productive and having fun with your phone.

Reasons For Galaxy J7 Touch Screen Not Working:

The Samsung Galaxy J7’s touchscreen is not always responsive towards the bottom of the screen.

This means users have to move the apps and the controls on the lower portion of the screen up towards the middle of the phone, just so they can keep using it without interruption.

Sometimes during the shipping process of the phone, the Galaxy J7 touchscreen gets damaged in the process, and the performance of the touchscreen can suffer due to excessive turbulence. In some cases, this would lead to it not working properly. This is not always immediately apparent, but if you suspect this is the case then your best option is to get the phone professionally repaired or the phone replaced altogether.
Sometimes the touchscreen problem is because of software bugs. Samsung always releases software updates to fix these problems, but Samsung isn’t always super quick to release these software updates. Keep your phone as up-to-date as you can.
