It's been about 2 years since I've bought this product, I haven't had any issues until recently. The issue is that my tab doesn't respond to some of my touches and randomly registers random touches somewhere on the tab. For example: imagine I'm on the notes app my tab stops registering my touches and registers random touches(which I haven't done). This is very annoying and I'm searching for a solution.

Troubleshooting Steps:

Remove Screen Protector (if any):
Sometimes, low-quality or old screen protectors can interfere with touch response.

Check in Safe Mode:
This disables all third-party apps temporarily.

Press & hold Power button

Tap & hold Power off, then select Safe Mode

Test touch input — if it works fine, a third-party app may be causing the issue.

Run Touchscreen Diagnostics:

Open Samsung Members app > Support > Diagnostics > Touch screen

Follow the on-screen test to check for dead zones or abnormal responses

Wipe Cache Partition (No Data Loss):

Power off the device

Press Volume Up + Power until logo appears

Use volume buttons to select Wipe cache partition > Power to confirm

Select Reboot system now

this could also be a hardware-level issue tooo.....
visiting your nearest Samsung Authorized Service Center for physical inspection and repair if needed.
