Huawei Watch Touch Screen Not Working: User Reported Issues!

Huawei Watch is a smartwatch developed by Huawei that runs on HarmonyOS. The first watch was announced at the 2015 Mobile World Congress and also released at the IFA Berlin in September of the same year. 

The latest watch released by Huawei is the Huawei Watch 4. The features of the watch are just top-notch and are worth the price. However, many users seem to have complaints about its touch, and other complaints. 

What causes the Huawei watch touch screen to stop working?

There may be a few reasons why the screen is not working properly. Wet hands or water on the screen could be one reason why. Other reasons may be many running apps conflicting with each other, an outdated version of the software, or even physical damage. If the battery of the watch is low, that also may be another reason why. 

the common reasons are:

• The watch may be low on power due to low battery level. To overcome this, try charging the watch for a period of time and see if the watch starts automatically.
• The user might have touched the watch with wet hands or there has been water on the screen. The screen will not respond in this case, then try drying your hands, and then try again.
• Your watch may not work if the latest version is not updated. In this case, it is best to contact support or go to the nearest Huawei store. 
• You could also check the protective film if you have attached one as some watches may not be able to function to their maximum when there is a barrier to it, this is a temporary solution though. This also occurs only if the film attached is above 0.2mm thick.
• Third-party applications or lock-screen software could also cause issues in some cases. 
• Touchscreens work best at room temperature between 0 degrees to 35 degrees; if the temperature in your area is a little too hot or cold, your device may not work properly. 

How can I fix a non-responsive touch screen on my Huawei watch?

A user could try to fix the non-responsiveness by force restarting the watch by pressing and holding the power button for more than ten seconds, or charging the watch. If both of these methods do not work, it is best to take it to a Huawei Customer Service Center near you. 

Is it possible to replace the touchscreen on a Huawei watch?

Yes, it is possible to replace the touchscreen with a replacement LCD screen and digitizer. Replacement screens are available for many models, including the Huawei Watch 2, GT 4, and GT 2. However, you must consider the warranty, installation, and other factors when doing so.

What should I do if my Huawei watch shows ghost touches?

If your watch shows ghost touches, you could try force restarting as mentioned in the article, removing your screen protector, replacing your charger, or factory resetting.

Are there any known software issues affecting the touchscreen functionality?

Yes, there have been some functionality issues in the software. Sometimes the software may be outdated, there may be conflicting apps, and maybe viruses may be affecting the device. 

How long can I expect my Huawei watch’s touchscreen to last?

In terms of battery, the watch could last for seven days. A smartwatch could last for two to five years.
