    Exclamation Stylus and screen

    Hey everyone.

    Every so often my stylus doesn't like to work with me. I touch something on the screen, i press down hard, and do it multiple times, and yet it still doesn't work. Its not a constant issue but it bothers me a lot. I feel like i'm getting ripped off or something. It mainly doesn't work with the scroll when im scrolling down using the stylus to view all of my pictures. And in my contacts or when im sending a text message, it just doesn't do it.

    Any help at all would be greatly appreciated thanks!

    If you have a screen saver you may have some grit around the edges. Also have you recalabrated (spl??) your screen?

    Sounds like a bad srceen. If you have insurance on it, take it to the store when its acting up and they will replace it.

    Hi:

    As plunker pointed out you could have dirt under the edges of the screen.

    Use the corner of a piece of paper to get under the edge and run it around all of the screen to see if grit or dirt is dislodged.

    Also, if you are using screen protectors they can be cut too large or placed off-center slightly and get under an edge, which can cause the screen to act very strange.

    Try that first.

    Default oh ok

    Thanks now its back to normal. Last night i just synced it to my computer and it worked fine, like nothing happened. I can now scroll with the stylus. So i guess when it happens again thats all i gotta do.

    Do the screen protectors help in using the stylus? And are they really noticeable when you touch it? Cuz i wanna get a screen protector.

    I would advise getting screen protectors. They keep the stylus from scratching the screen . Don't leave home without them!
