Android touchscreen not responding to touches
Restart your phone first — that fixes most frozen screens. Then remove any screen protector and test the bare screen. A broken screen protector is surprisingly common and causes touch failures that look like the screen is broken.
Unresponsive touchscreens are caused by a software freeze, a cracked screen protector interfering with touch, or physical damage. A simple restart fixes software freezes immediately. If it's just a screen protector causing problems, removing it reveals the solution. Physical damage requires professional assessment.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the screen is broken before trying a force restart or removing the protector
- Buying a new screen protector before testing the bare screen first
- Not realizing a cheap charging cable can cause touch problems
Signs you need professional help
- Screen is unresponsive even after restart and removing the protector
- The screen was physically damaged in a drop and glass is cracked
- Touch works better unplugged but fails when charging — the charger or cable is bad
