Lumia 950 Touch Screen not very responsive, how can I get it working better?

Lumia 950 Touch Screen not very responsive

I recently purchased a Lumia 950, and I noticed some quirks about the touch screen. For one, the bottom of the screen isn't as responsive as the top. Sometimes I have to touch the home button more than once to get it to register. Also, when I'm texting the keyboard misses several of my keystrokes.

Secondly, the bottom of the touch screen doesn't work at all when the phone is sitting flat on my desk. However, once I pick it up, it starts working.

Last, when the phone is charging, I don't have any of these issues, and the screen works perfectly.

Has this happened to anyone else? It's such a weird issue.

Coming from 930 I see that touch accuracy and responsiveness in 950 is worse.This happens especially when in app list I long press to pin the tile.Sometimes the screen is unresesponsive and when I press pin in start this doesn't happen.This is maybe a firmware problem.
I don't find any difference in top or bottom of screen.Maybe your digitizer doesn't fit properly.I suggest to check it in service...

I had the same issue, but I had a screen protector on mine. Once I removed the protector, everything started working normally.

That was the issue. Once the screen protector was removed, the touch screen started working much better.

Same here. When I type message half of the keys are not pressed. It is driving me nuts. Is insider preview any better?

If you have done a "Soft Reset" (by removing the battery-replacing after one min.) then install Hardware Tests from the store and check the touch screen. If the check is OK then a hard reset will solve the problem, if it is not OK look for your warranty...

Touch screen say passed! So hard reset it is. Can i restore backoup or not?

I just have this kind of behaviour using Telegram app. I blame the app itself, not my screen. Works like a charm with other apps or system settings.
