In this post, we’ll explain some effective tips to improve touch sensitivity on your Samsung Galaxy S20 FE or S21 FE. Read on.
How to improve touch sensitivity on Samsung Galaxy S20 FE/S21 FE
1. Try enabling the touch sensitivity
The use of certain screen protectors can affect the touch sensitivity and may result in touch screen unable to register your touches. Increasing the touch sensitivity may help resolve the problem in this case.
Follow the steps below to improve the touch sensitivity.
- Go to Settings app
- Then tap on Display
- Scroll down and tap Touch sensitivity and toggle it ON.
2. Try adjusting the touch & hold delay
Touch & hold delay allows you to set how long before your touch is recognized as a touch or a hold. A longer delay means you need to keep pressing your finger a little longer on the screen for it to be recognized as a touch or a hold. While a short delay will register your touch or hold immediately.
Here’s how to adjust the touch and hold delay.
- Go to Settings app
- Tap on Accessibility
- Then select Interaction and dexterity
- Next tap on Touch and hold delay
- Select and set duration to Short (0.5 secs), Medium (1 second), Long (1.5 seconds) or Custom.
3. Adjust the tap duration
Tap duration allows you to set how long before your interaction on the screen is registered as a tap. Use the +/- buttons to adjust the time duration which is set to 0.10 seconds as default. So, if a tap lasts for 0.10 seconds, your phone will respond to it. To change the tap duration, follow these steps:
- Go to Settings app
- Tap on Accessibility
- Then select Interaction and dexterity
- Next tap on Tap duration and toggle it ON
- Now adjust the duration by tapping on the +/- buttons
4. Enable Ignore repeated touches
This feature allows you to adjust the amount of time that you want to allow between two consecutive touches to consider them as multiple touches. Multiple touches within that time will be considered as a single touch. To enable the option, follow the steps below:
- Go to Settings app
- Tap on Accessibility
- Then select Interaction and dexterity
- Next tap on Ignore repeated touches and toggle the option ON
- Now set and adjust the time by tapping on the +/- buttons
5. Turn on the accidental touch protection
Your phone is prone to accidental touches when you keep it inside the pocket or bag. To prevent this, you can enable the accidental touch protection feature to disable the screen when it is in a dark place to avoid inadvertent touches. To enable the accidental touch protection, follow the steps below:
- Go to Settings
- Tap on Display
- Tap the Accidental touch protection and toggle it ON.
