iPad Pro touch screen intermittent unresponsive

the described problem has no solution on the part of the user. all tricks give only a temporary effect. using an iPad without a case solves the problem to some extent. but I (and not only I) prefer to have some protection for the iPad.

I disagree because I have completely fixed my iPad of this issue. There is no one solution because the problem manifests itself differently based on users customization of their unit and practices. Sonic, one thing I can assure you as this has become almost a hobby of mine. I’m telling you that it is primarily a communication problem. Let me reword that, the problem is exacerbated by certain WiFi setups.

I know this for a fact, tinker with your WiFi setup and trash your SIM card. There is a direct link between WiFi and this touch problem. Make sure you have the latest modem/router, preferably separate versus combo. Take you equipment back if rented and get the latest. The equipment is constantly being updated and people don’t take advantage of it. Charter Spectrum in Milwaukee let’s you come in whenever you want and exchange equipment, but they don’t tell you when to do so.

Log into your router, read the manual, then research setups online. I myself live in an apartment with congestion. The other fixes you talk about are touch and go I agree with you. I found after years of doing this that the problem may change after an update, somewhat. Trying new things is not a waste of time for this problem because some do give temporary relief.

I forgot to add that shutting down gestures does seem to help. So for me the WiFi is the main area of concentration. The other fixes are to tax the system less.

As far as my cellular data is concerned I just gave up. I took out the SIM card. I tried several carriers and worked my way up to US Cellular. I had an excellent signal but that SIM card would just make everything worse.

I’m finding that poor WiFi causes the problem when WiFi is not even being used. Use Open DNS.

If you can’t log into your router and lack the knowledge to forward ports, change DNS, change channels, analyze you router features, and try new things you’ll never fix it. All the above is very easy to do and quite frankly everybody should know how o do these basic functions.

Troubleshooting problems is part of owning a computer man. Try new things, if it fails... so what you learned it doesn’t work and move on.

Lastly I’m sticking to my main suggestion: TWEAK YOUR WIFI and GET RID OF YOUR SIM CARD.

I also had the same issues with my IPad pro (A1671) for a long time since IOS 12.x.

Just now I found out, after removing the original Apple Smart Keyboard (A1636) the touch screen is working fine.

The Smart Keybord itself works also when attached, but it seems to disturb the touch screen function when its folded to a stand.

I do not have a second Smart Keyboard to check, if it's only my unit. I think, this could also be a driver issue in IOS for the keyboard.

As a fix I have just masked the keyboard contacts on the IPad with a post-it and remove it, when I need the keyboard.

yes, exactly. and this is a proof that problem connected with grounding and electrostatic.

try to plug with case removed and work with ipad with one hand when holding metal back firmly with another. problem will go away (or will be not so serious, depending on unit).

to make sure that the gyroscope also has an effect on this problem, try to tilt the iPad slightly away from the vertical while typing continuously (when your iPad is working normally with the case on). you will see that at some point (for my iPad Pro 10.5 and Air 2019 it was 10-20 degrees from vertical) the screen stops responding to touches.

p.s. I bought an Air 2020 a couple of weeks ago. the sound is still not as good as on the Pro series (bass is not so deep). but the battery and performance are significantly better than on Air 2019 or iPad Pro 10.5

I'm on iOS 12.2 and have been on 12.2 beta previously too and the issue persists. It has not got any better or worse. I don't believe they will be able to fix it on software only basis.

This doesn't explain the same touch screen issues with all of the other 3 years of iPad Pro models.

Also, you may want to phone contact Apple, directly inCupertino, California, and calmly talk to an Apple customer

service employee about this issue via the link below.

Is there any resolution yet for those of us without the “Tap to Wake” feature?

This fixed my problem

I did. I read through 12 pages of this thread and tried it before. Didn't work. Maybe I have a different batch of iPad Pro 2018 (45 of them bough between January - February 2019)

Two iPad Pro 11's, both with Apple Pencil here. Both iPads used heavily. Both have no touch issues. I don't think Apple Pencil is the culprit.

"I dont agree that its the pencil causing this issue."

Based on.. what? 1 iPad?

Well, I have 45 iPads with real word usage over 6 months with 40 users.

I think this issue boils down to issues with, at least, the iPad's gyroscope feature and calibration and/or in combimation with any screen orientation sensors.
