If the screen on your Galaxy S25 FE feels overly sensitive or not responsive enough, everyday use can become frustrating. Accidental touches may register when you don’t want them to, or swipes may fail when you need them the most. Luckily, Samsung provides several ways to adjust and improve touch sensitivity so your phone feels just right.
Why Your Galaxy S25 FE Touch Sensitivity Might Feel Off
- A screen protector may reduce responsiveness.
- Touch sensitivity settings are not adjusted.
- Glitches after a software update.
- Accidental touches triggered by the curved edges or while in your pocket.
- Dirt, oil, or moisture interfering with touch detection.
Enable Touch Sensitivity.
Samsung includes a setting that boosts touch response, especially useful if you are using a screen protector. Turning it on often fixes delayed or missed touches.
- Open Settings, and then tap Display.
- Tap Touch sensitivity, and then toggle the switch on.
Turn On Accidental Touch Protection.
If your phone registers random touches in your pocket or bag, accidental touch protection can help. This prevents the screen from waking up due to unwanted contact.
- Open Settings, and then tap Display.
- Scroll down, and then toggle on Accidental touch protection.
Clean the Screen Surface.
Dust, oil, or water on the screen can confuse touch sensors. Cleaning the display can immediately improve accuracy.
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the screen gently. If needed, slightly dampen the cloth with water but avoid harsh cleaners.
Update Your Software.
Software bugs can sometimes affect touch response. Installing the latest updates ensures better stability and fixes.
- Open Settings, and then tap Software update.
- Tap Download and install, and then follow the prompts if an update is available.
Test in Safe Mode.
Third-party apps can cause touch problems if they interfere with system processes. Booting into Safe mode helps you test this.
- Swipe down from the top of the screen, and then tap the Power icon.
- Touch and hold Power off, and then tap Safe mode when it appears.
If touch works normally in Safe mode, an app is likely the cause. Restart your Galaxy S25 FE to exit Safe mode, then uninstall any recently added apps.
Touch sensitivity problems on the Galaxy S25 FE usually come down to simple settings or minor interference. By adjusting sensitivity, enabling protections, and keeping your device clean and updated, you can restore smooth and accurate screen response.
FAQs
Does a screen protector affect touch sensitivity on the Galaxy S25 FE?
Yes. Some protectors reduce responsiveness, which is why Samsung includes the Touch sensitivity setting to compensate.
Why does my phone register touches in my pocket?
This happens when the screen is triggered by pressure or movement. Turning on Accidental touch protection prevents this.
Will Safe mode delete my files or apps?
No. Safe mode only disables third-party apps temporarily. Your data remains safe, and everything returns to normal once you restart the phone.
