Hi
I bought a used Note 8 a few months back

Since last month, I cannot slide down the top notification bar with my fingers, but it works with the stylus.

Also, I have enabled slide down in the home, and it works.
But I can not slide down the notification bar when I'm in an app with my fingers, I use the stylus to drag down the notification bar.

What can be done?

Type *#0#* in phone dialer and do the touch test.

Open a draw app and draw a box by going along the edges of the screen and see if it responds to your finger.

BACKUP your phone and then try a factory reset.

If that fails most likely your screen is going bad.

You can use the fingerprint sensor to swipe down and up the notification panel. Settings/Advanced Features/ Motions and Gestures to find that option.
