Hey fellow Samsung users (and hopefully a Samsung engineer or two sneaking around here),

So here's the deal:
I spent a kidney (well, almost) on theS25 Ultra – expecting it to be the ultimate beast forgaming, multitasking, photography, and probably controlling a Mars Rover someday. And guess what? Italmost lives up to that hype.

Except when I try to play BGMI with two fingers. Yes, just two. Not five. Not ten. Just the bare minimum you'd expect tomove and shoot in any shooter game.


The Problem (aka: Welcome to JitterLand)

When I fire upBGMI, PUBG, Call of Duty Mobile or any similar game, and do what any sane gamer does – place two fingers on the screen (let’s say one to move, one to aim) – theentire game screen starts flickering like it’s attending a disco party.

  • Map and controls? Totally chill.
  • Gameplay visuals? Jumping like a kangaroo on espresso.
  • Single finger? Game is smoother than butter on a hot dosa.
  • Second finger? Earthquake mode activated.
Tempered Glass on? Flicker Flicker.
Tempered Glass off? Smooth as silk.


Games I’ve Ruined My Mood On

  • BGMI
  • PUBG (KR version too, just for good measure)
  • Call of Duty Mobile
  • Likely affects other games that dare use more than one finger.

Things I’ve Tried (aka: My Spiritual Journey)

  1. Replaced Tempered Glass 4 Times

    • From no-name brands to the almighty Spigen Glas.tR.
    • Issue persists.
    • At this point I’ve supported half of Amazon’s screen protector economy.
  2. Used No Screen Protector

    • Game plays beautifully.
    • My soul is happy.
    • My screen is terrified.
  3. Toggled All Display Settings Like a Madman

    • Touch Sensitivity ON/OFF
    • 60Hz, 120Hz, 1Hz – you name it.
    • EdgeTouch via Good Lock – no luck.
  4. Reset, Safe Mode, Dark Magic

    • Factory reset.
    • Booted in Safe Mode.
    • Prayed to the AMOLED gods.
  5. Asked Around

    • Turns out, I’m not alone.
    • Samsung forums, Reddit, Members app – other gamers are also in Flickerland.

Why This Happens (Technical Talk, Slightly Angry)

So here’s the science:

  • Samsung’s beautiful AMOLED screen + Touch Digitizer = awesome.
  • You slap on a non-UV tempered glass and… boom – ghost touches, signal delays, and multi-touch chaos.
  • Why? Because microscopic air gaps mess with the capacitive touch matrix.
  • The result? The phone gets confused when it receives two touches. It thinks it’s being attacked by static from another dimension.
  • This isn’t the game's fault. It’s touch hardware + protector interference.

So… What Now?

Option 1: Use a Hydrogel Screen Protector

  • Ultra-thin, flexible, doesn’t interfere with touch.
  • Downsides: It's like bringing a paper shield to a sword fight.

Option 2: Go Naked (Your Screen, I Mean)

  • No protector = buttery gameplay.
  • But you're one drop away from heartbreak.

Samsung – Are You Listening?

This is theS25 Ultra, not a budget device. We expect flagship-level multitouch accuracy even with a screen protector. Please:

  • Acknowledge the issue.
  • Push a firmware fix or touch calibration update.
  • Recommend compatible screen protectors (maybe even sell one officially?).
  • Or at least warn us before we start flickering like we’re in a horror movie.

To Fellow Gamers

If you’re facing this issue:

  • Like, comment, tag, raise a support ticket, scream into the void.
  • Let’s make enough noise that Samsung hears us over their ultra-silent AirPods competitor.

TL;DR: Want to play BGMI on S25 Ultra? Choose between:

  • No protection and no flickering.
  • Tempered glass and full-on dance mode.
  • Hydrogel if you like softcore protection.
Let’s get this fixed, folks. We paid for a flagship, not a flashlight strobe.
