Samsung Note 8.0 touch screen stops responding to input

[Squashtowner]

My tablet (sgh-i467m) takes fits where the screen stops responding to touch input for 3 or 4 seconds at a time.  Whatever is on the screen keeps going on as normal,  but tapping the screen does nothing.  It happens every minute or so,  and sometimes as often as 3-4 times a minute.  I've researched this,  and pretty much every note 8.0 running 4.1.2 does it.  Other market versions of this tablet have been updated to 4.2 and even to 4.4 kitkat . 

I've even done a factory reset and it's still the same,  and it's really frustrating.  If telus or Samsung doesn't fix this I'm returning my tablet.

If you've had it for more than 14 or 30 days, Telus can't help. It sounds like an issue with the tablet itself making it a Samsung problem. If it's over a year old it is likely that the warranty has expired as most tablets only have a one year warranty and 4.1.2 appears to be the newest OS for that specific model.

Android 4.2 should solve the screen lag issue but not even Samsung is offering that for this specific model. Try contacting Samsung and see what they say.

I've had it since Christmas.  The guy at the telus shop where we got it knows I've been having this issue since we got it too.  Samsung says they've never heard of this problem too (typical).

If you have the one year replacement warranty, go for it. Maybe you will get the current model that is more supported.

Unless you are comfortable with flashing new ROM into the tablet.

The other would be to delete/disable apps that show up as being processor intensive, even at idle.  Check your battery manager screen and see what apps are using too many resources.
