No, not THAT dead zone, but the one on my iPad mini. Between the town change arrows on the upper left and the basket button on the upper right of my screen, I can't tap anything. It's completely dead to the touch. I keep tapping those eggs up there for naught. Really getting irritating.

I have this problem as well. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. I have a galaxy S4 and have this problem. My husband doesn't have this problem and he has the galaxy S3. My friend with an iphone 5S doesn't have this problem either. :?

Got this problem too. Can't scroll or tap anything there.
After I clear a town, it works again.

Playing on an Android system.

Same here on iPad mini.

Weird and annoying bug, but not the end of the world.

I have this problem on my iphone 5 but when I'm on my ipad it works fine.

Sounds pretty annoying. Hope they fix it fast!

Just noticed the same thing, playing on iPad.

Yep same issue with my ipad 2 and iPhone 5. Thought it was just me. :roll:

It happens on my iPad. I've also noticed it when playing Megapolis. It's much worse with that game because the areas in which you have to tap are so small.

yea apparently a BUNCH of people are getting these dead zones on their devices which dont recognize our touch or scrolling motion.

jukan00 · April 21, 2014 11:54PM

Me too. But never noticed it until tonight. For a second thought I'd have to get my screen replaced but then saw it worked fine in my town.

Khynoe · April 22, 2014 12:38AM

Strange. Sometimes the screen doesn't respond, but sometimes it does.
I hope EA fixes this.

I have the same issue in Bluestacks as well.

theslayer369 · April 22, 2014 5:00AM

Me too, on iPhone 4S but not on Kindle Fire.

LeuchtbojeConny · April 22, 2014 5:22AM

Same here.
Android.
Thought it was my phone's RAM or so.
The scrolling often is not smooth in neighbour's town: the screen almost jumps from one part to the next.

NMayo · April 22, 2014 5:59AM

yeah same problem here. its like the box up there invisibly fills the whole top section of the screen.. the box with the arrows to visit the towns and such.

cherrysweatr · April 22, 2014 6:00AM

Same here! I thought I was crazy because the space used to be tappable. On S3 Android.

kevfd · April 22, 2014 8:46AM

I had this issue a few days ago. It lasted a cpl days but seems ok today. I was thinking my iphone was on its way out, so glad I saw this post before I done something rash with it lol :-)

mr_skeltal_80 · April 22, 2014 2:21PM

I thought it was my tablet but it seems i got this as well. Asus tf101 tablet with android.

Jehsiickuh · April 25, 2014 11:44AM

I recently noticed this as well and then remembered seeing this post. really annoying. I'm just glad it's not a problem with my actual screen.

sherryt07 · April 25, 2014 11:48AM

Good to know its a game problem and not a device problem. I was worried my device's touchscreen was wonky.

jukan00 · April 25, 2014 11:49AM

After that hotfix yesterday it went away for me for awhile... then came back as I'm visiting neighbors later in the day. Haha. Also 4.8 fixed my really long load time of about 70-80 seconds but after the hotfix the longer load times are coming back. So weird.
