me too

Don't worry, you aren't crazy, I get this too.

I'm convinced its caused by pressure on the display components. My reasons are the following:

If i roll my palm across the screen relatively lightly (but still with enough pressure for the device to respond to normal touches) this never happens.

However as soon as i apply a littly more pressure I can replicate this problem every time. (To those reading thinking that I am putting an unreasonable amount of pressure on the device - I am not! I see people much more violent with their tablets day to day with no issue)

Furthermore, the more pressure I apply the longer the touches will stay after i remove my hand, suggesting that the device is kind of uncompressing.

Finally the area in which this is worst* there are some small LCD 'Mura' - that is light spots on the screen you can only see from some angles, these are normally the result of pressure.

I dont know about you guys but my note is pretty creaky, I would guess that there simply isnt enough rigidity to protect the screen components from stresses caused by pushing down on the device. (Note that i dont get this problem usually unless the device is sitting flat on its back.)

Dont get my wrong, I love my note and these issues are fortunately only an uncommon annoyance for me during typical use. But, this is kind of ****ty build quality and i will have reservations about buying another device from samsung.

*(e.g. if i roll my hand across the screen this is the most common area for a touch to 'stick')
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bergwitza:
In situations where I wasn't able to reproduce the bug (that happened every once in a while) I used a simple workaround: lock+unlock the screen and the bug was reproducible again.

You're right. After realizing that the second device has the same bug, I was close to declaring myself mental.

Mine too. It feels cheap and the only reason I bought it is because of the pen.

What's your typical use? My typical use was writing and said bug made that very inconvenient. It basically prevented me from using touch-input after writing only a couple of lines..

Maybe a short update: I returned the second device, got my money back, and sent the first device once again to $REPAIR_GUYS, this time with a link to the video above.

I'm also thinking about buying a Note 8 if I get refund for the first device.

Bottom line: The tablet was supposed to replace all the cumbersome paper I have to deliver every week and I'm out of a working device since end of january. A huge waste of money, time, time and time.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6pool:
Yeah if it wasn't for the pen I bet most people would have gone for something more sturdy/better screen/stock android.

It literally is the only device which can do annotation anywhere near properly though so Its a matter of priorities.

Typical use has been taking lecture notes for several hours a day, managed a years worth of university with it, and while its not perfect

it did save my back from having to lug around lots of books and notes.

I would guess that this issue is present on all devices, just at differing scales. Hopefully you can find one where it is at a level that doesn't

bother you, though I wouldn't blame you for giving up and avoiding Samsung from now on, must be a right pain.

I would say that if you are planning on using the note 8 for lots of writing, maybe try it in store first, its probably way too small for any prolonged period, I find the 10.1 cramped and I have relatively small hands/writing. (Not helped by the fact the pen digitizer gets weird towards the edges of the screen)

Anyways, good luck!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bergwitza:
I never really used the whole screen for writing for various reasons:

1. the pen is not precise somewhere around the middle of the screen

2. the pen is not precise at the edges (as you mentioned)

Reason 2 is something all wacom digitizers seem to share (I remember watching a guy on youtube demonstrating the "edge-effect" on the note and two other, professional wacom devices), reason 1 I can't explain.

Anyway, I always ended up just using the upper half of the screen and that's basically the main reason why I think it wouldn't make much of a difference. But on the other hand my gut tells me that you could be right.

Right now I can't shake the feeling that the note is just some random entity in Samsung's massive brute-force output. Never mind the details or the quality, after 5 different pen-tablets the fifth iteration will be just fine. Sounds a lot like Agile SW development.. just with hardware.

None of those issues could have been reproduced on my Note 10.1 (GT-N8000) from Germany. Mine was bought in October 2012.

I have went through 3 of these tablets, ended returning each one to best buy. I absolutely love it for drawing and sketching....until the screens bugged up. All three of mine where the gray version, I'm tempted to pick up a white and give it a try.

Btw ...the second video posted in this thread is mine. :cyclops:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smartie36:
Interesting thread, after reading it I decided to test mine and it's not suffering with that bug, I'm in the UK and brought it 2 months ago, it's the grey variant
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bergwitza:
Wait, are you saying that all 3 had the same bug?

Thanks to both of you for testing.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronbass:
Yep, all three had the same issue.

At first I thought the screen bug was from the tablet getting too hot while sketching (SketchBook). The tablet was pretty warm, not uncomfortable to touch or anything. Possibly overheating?

While streaming Netflix, the touch dots would randomly appear and not go away. The tablet wasn't warm like before when I was sketching and it wasn't even being touched.

Still tempted to try another one, i did love it when it was working and there aren't any other android devices sporting the wacom digitizer
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bergwitza:
Update:

After almost four months, some Samsung technician/representative reluctantly decided to issue a refund. Reluctantly because, and I quote, out of 100 times he tried to reproduce the bug demonstrated in not one but two videos.. he succeeded only once.

Not really satisfying but, oh well, if they dont give a f.., I won't either.

Any updates

Hi

I bought this Note for my girlfriend as a Christmas gift. She's loaded a few apps and mainly uses it to look up stuff on the web, FaceBook and things like that. The issue is the screen starts twitcihing and types random letters and will switch pges and change settings. I did a factory reset via the reset option in the settings tab. That did not help. I will post a video tonight showing the issue. Are there any other option out there??!!

Thanks

Touchscreen fixed with better USB cord on Note 10.1 2014

I have the same issue on Note 10.1 2014 SM-P605.

I've tried changing apps, dozens of keyboard settings, device covers, screen protectors, pen input, finger input, touching the corners to recalibrate, turning the divice upside down, locking, unlocking, running different tabs in chrome...way too much time on this issue.

Finally I found the cause.

A cheap monoprice USB cable attached will produce the problem 100% of the time.

Using a heafty stock USB cable works 100% of the time.

I spent three days setting up this new tablet. And it worked flawlessly, until the last day when I moved to a new room.

Now I'm loving it again.

Hi

Yesterday I have come across a beautiful app called SperBeam which is used for file sharing between android apps.

I am able to transfer 1GB data(videos and photos) from my samsung galaxy s3 to asus transformer infinity tablet in 6 minutes. Thats awsome.

This software uses wifi if it is available, or else wifidirect technology.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Morlok8k:
no results on google play for "sperbeam"

sounds interesting though...

edit: its "superbeam"
[Asus Transformer TF700] crabiorc:
Thank you

Great find. Thanks for the share.

Wow, really like this app. Thanks for sharing!:good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chesterblue137:
ES file Explorer is a also good option to tranfer files between android devices... and between android and pc? Any one have a good app ? Something that works like es file explorer would be amazing.

Why not simply use your PC's file manager via MTP?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chesterblue137:
What do you mean by that? Use the usb cable?
[Asus Transformer TF700] whatisreal7:
I still feel all these P2P file sharing apps are clunky and not consumer-friendly. That said, I'm going to fix that...I'm building an app called Drop, and it is a simple, fast, and secure way to share files with people/devices in proximity over WiFi Direct. It is going into a limited Private Beta soon, so if you're up for the challenge, (and running Jelly Bean) then sign up at www.get-drop.com. Seats are limited, and we have a rolling enrollment, so check it out.
[Asus Transformer TF700] @llforone:
Thanks Whatisreal. I just signed up. There are tons of file sharing apps in the app store, but they all look like they were made by engineers who know how the inner plumbing of your phone works, and they expect you to know too. I'm a casual user, and I'm looking for something that works for "everyone", not just the propeller heads! Kind of like Apple's approach (putting flame suit on..)
[Asus Transformer TF700] narasimhan:
Sorry for bumping this old thread. But I am using esfile explorer to transfer files between pc and my phone/tablet using wifi. They are connected to the same wifi. But though I am able to transfer between tablet and pc or phone and pc. I am unable to do the same between phone and tablet. Of course I can install this superbeam for the same but I just wanted to know if it is possible by using esfile explorer. Also can I transfer files using wifi direct(ie without using the common wifi modem) using esfile explorer?
[Asus Transformer TF700] fatboyinlycra:
I use wifi file transfer - ttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antosdr.wififiletransfer&hl=en

ES File Explorer uses this as a plugin so I can select multiple files or folders then take the option in ES to "share" and then share via wifi file transfer, you just need to have the app installed on both devices and make sure the receiving device has wifi file trasnfer running and recady to receive

The other option I use for files that arent huge is dropbox and gogole drive - again ES File Explorer can plug into those for easy upload and download
[Asus Transformer TF700] narasimhan:
Actually ES File Explorer has the ability in itself to create a wifi file sharing hotspot. I just couldn't find it before. Now after some tries I finally got it to work. It doesnt require an external wifi(modem). ES file itself creates a wifi server (similar to bluetooth) to which other devices can connect and share files.
[Asus Transformer TF700] chrisrank:
I've found an app called shoutr, that's available in the Google Play Store and at shoutr.net, that lets you share between devices without even having to have internet or WiFi access, pretty convenient!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nebhead:
So, I just updated to CM10.1 (Deck's 4-6-13 Build) over the weekend. This may apply to any AOSP ROM though. I was coming from a Sense ROM previously so the external SD card was "mounted" or symlinked(?) to /sdcard/ext_sd/

Now it appears that directory is empty and I have to navigate to /mnt/external_sd to get at those files. This usually isn't a problem except for some applications that don't want to let me navigate away from the /sdcard directory.

Hopefully this isn't too much of a newb question for you folks.

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know if the backpack supports microdrives? - I read somewhere that CF II support does not automatically include support for microdrive. - In case it does, I found a great tip from a cameraforum for getting a 4 GB microdrive for cheap (£199)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Jayman:
Yeah there is much talk from other PPC users about the creative muvo2 having an unsoldiered 4gb microdrive inside that can be removed easily and retails at a much cheaper price than the drive alone :roll:

Currently $200

However until the backpack is released and tested we will not know for sure.

I have been holding off getting an XDAII till I know what this backpack is going to do for me.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
I've tried searching the forums for a possible solution but have had no luck thus far.

I prefer the desktop Youtube over the mobile app version but regardless on which one I use for some reason lately YT always force closes anytime I hit the play icon to watch a video. it would load for a couple seconds and then force close me out of my browser. I do have the correct flash player and I've tried various browsers installed on my phone as well as earlier versions to each but the issue continues to occur. I also tried clearing data but no luck either. Has anyone else experienced this? and if so, a possible fix? Any advice would be great.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Yianaki:
For Infuse 4g does anyone know a ICS or preferable 4.1.2 Jelly Bean rom with working video camera (still photos are fine video capture is the issue). I have tried numerous Cyanogen, Paranoid Android, Liquid Smooth, roms for Jelly 4.1.2 and 4.2.2.

Always go back to Paranoid Android 4.1.2 pa_infuse4g-2.53-04NOV2012-152548 . Camera is fine but video capture is glitchy. Same for all the other roms I tried. Only other problem with the rom is that Wifi will stop working but a quick toggle will get it back. Otherwise smooth sailing.

All the 4.2.2 roms I have tried have been extremely buggy and laggy. I was wondering if there was a rom I overlooked running ICS or 4.1.2 that had working video. I put the video camera down to 480p like I was told on a couple of forums and it still crashes if you point it at a bright light.

If no modern roms have a working video camera, what rom should I be following that may resolve this issue. A dev that works primarily on stability vs adding features I can probably download from the app store or find a hack for on XDA. This is for my sister that likes to complain so it has to be stable. I really don't want any features just a modern non Gingerbread rom with a working video camera / and stills (she needs ICS VPN or later for work).

Thanks for any pointers in the right direction.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Goneeuro:
The video is as good as its gonna get for now for us. We don't have access to the correct drivers and code to get the video working 100% on ICS and jb. I am sure that one day one of the devs will crack it but I wouldn't hold my breath. Best thing is just do what you did and drop down in resolution and hope for the best. I've been having great luck with beanstalk, and Scott is an extreamly active dev working hard to make the ROM run smooth as well as add features. And if a feature hurts the stability he removed it.

The kernel in jt's cm9 rom over at rootzwiki allows for perfect 720p video recording.

That's interesting, was never aware Jr had once had working 720p...maybe someone could compare that kernel to the current cm9 kernel...and than try and port that fix to jb...

any luck for 720p recording in JB Rom?

There are two very fast and smooth ROMs for JB, Scott's Beanstalk and Andros11's Vanila rootbox for infuse, but unfortunatly video recording for 720P is still the issue, i am hoping some day some one will find the solution for it, Too much hope on our champ- Scott.

any luck tilll now >?

videocam illusion is not the solution, stock camera is much better than the app, its not snapy as 720p recording ,but its not looks good at all.

Case looks nice. Looks like they have two choices. Frost/Soft and Hard/Clear. Almost tempted to get both.

I already have 4 cases now before the phone :) The Rock Thin Case in Silver and White and the Nillkin in Black and White.

This one looks even thinner. Have the case early helped me get a real feel for the phones dimensions. I really like the size of it.

I would like to have a very very thin aluminum case with the same aluminum finish. So it looks like the back of the phone. That way I can scratch it and not feel bad and keep the same look. :)

I think they should check their description box. They still have iPhone 5 instead of HTC.
[One (M7) Accessories] GuestK00156:
Spigen cases are beautiful. I have an ultra capsule (soft rubber case- i dont think it is tpu) on my SGS2 which works wonderfully. The only problems i have with this case are:

a) no front lip which leaves the screen/screen protector prone to scratches when face down.

b) its a hard case which means no impact absorption

My brother had this case on his HTC One X, and when it fell on its side, the screen/digitizer cracked straight from where the charging port is (on the side for the one x) as it is an exposed area. SGP steinheil screen protectors have unmatched quality. I have had them on 5 android phones throughout my family, but i think ill be going for a cruzerlite tpu case because of their impact absorption, and just getting the steinheil protectors. I look forward to AFN's review to see if anything has changed with this particular case, but my hopes arent high. Sadly, Spigen informed me that they have no plans for an ultra capsule for the HTC One.

Just my thoughts...
