[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Spidey01:
I assume it's issues with cloud agent or the s-pen detection.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] slushbilly:
I can definitely say that the new update did not make any difference. I hope that samsung will fix this problem soon.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Baldrick1963:
Seems to be just the capacitive input that is freezing. When i use the s,pen it doesn't seem to freeze at all. I tried scrolling with my finger and as soon as it freezes switched to the pen and it worked ok so I think it's the capacitive part of the screen that has the problem.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] adamsjw2:
That was my observation as well. Samsung said they would get my Note 8 back in a week. I'll be interested to see the problem crops up again.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] parcsalooc:
Its happening not only on my att one, but my wifes wifi one as well
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] slushbilly:
Anyone else noticing it's getting worse or is it just me.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] aritrea:
Running xnote zero edition and it feels a little bit worse, too. Though I don't think it's related to the rom.

I also have the impression that it only affects thumb inputs, not the spen ones.

Really hope to see a fix soon..
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] soloilmeglio:
Install latest Civato's kernel ;)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] jutley:
I got the problem too come on Samsung fix it.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] bigmout:
I have this impression, too, but am starting to wonder if it just manifests differently with the S-Pen. I scroll with the S-Pen a lot and every once in a while -- about as often as the screen freezes while scrolling with my finger -- a swipe with the pen will register as a double tap and cause the browser to zoom.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] hermanyure:
I'm also experiencing periodic unresponsiveness with a gt-n5110 every 10-20 minutes. The touch screen does not register nor do the hard buttons for a brief moment before correcting themselves. This seems to have started since a recent update.

not sure if these are the same symptoms being discussed or if I need to consider an exchange/servicing.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] slushbilly:
I contacted Samsung live chat tech support today. What a joke!!! They said that there are no reported problems with this tablet. I told them that there is now. All they could suggest was doing a factory reset on the tablet. Really! ya think that is going to solve the problem. I told them there there are other people complaining about this problem on the XDA Dev forums. I also told them that I had returned the first tablet to the store for this same issue. They said that they would forward our conversation to the appropriate department for review. I would not expect a solution to this issue any time soon. I could be wrong though.

You would think as big of a company as Samsung, they could do more than tell you to factory reset. Come on Samsung get it together.:confused:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] hermanyure:
Downgrading to the original firmware (N5110UEDMD1) as found in janjannsen99's thread has solved my device's periodic touch screen unresponsiveness. Not the most ideal solution, but after testing the latest 4.2.2 firmware beta and finding the problem unresolved, I'm less hopeful of a forthcoming fix from samsung in the next official update.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] slushbilly:
You would think that Samsung would know about this issue. Other than talking to them in live chat. Funny thing is though, they were going to email me a transcript of the conversation but they never did. Hmmmmm.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] TC93:
I also noticed this on my wifi only version.

I do like this tablet a lot though. I only notice this once in a while when doing a lot of scrolling. Otherwise I dont see it

edit: I have noticed once in a while when typing it not typing a letter I press, unless its just me pressing too light.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] androidizen:
Hi all I've put an email into Samsung's UK PR about this thread, we were about to post a review of the Note 8.0 but are now holding off until we get a response from Samsung. I will post the response here when we get one.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] skawtnyc:
The regular periods of unresponsiveness where the capacitive display suddenly stops accepting input and then returns to normal is one of the main reasons why I've gone back to civato's 4.1.2-based RE-FLEX ROM on my Note 8. The other reason is that battery life is also better. There's not enough about 4.2.2 that's compelling enough to need to upgrade.

Note, returning to 4.1.2 from 4.2.2 is a bit problematic, since you have tio wipe and reinstall everything. Fortunately I performed a full Titanium Backup of everything to my external SD Card and was able to restore it quickly. Note that some apps may not properly restore and need to be installed manually. I got stuck on Google Maps and Agenda Widget. Both are a simple reinstall from the Play store, and Agenda Widget can export/import its settings using an XML file.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] GreatLachlan:
I'm guessing Samsung knows about this, and because it's a capacitive issue (Meaning it works completely fine with the spen), they'd have to replace every note 8 out there. Maybe it's an issue with the tablet trying to figure out weather you're using the spen or not.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] jordant2:
I really like this tablet but this had been happening to me more frequently and I have the at&t version so I can't root it. I have one week to return it. Not sure what to do. At first I thought it was just a browser issue, now it happened twice during me swyping this message. I like everything else about it.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] frostdragon779:
I have the GT-N5110 version and rooted. I flash civs rom this morning and discovered the freezing issue was happening just like with stock firmware (this rom was built base on the stock firmware, so it is not surprised to know this). I also flash CM 10.1 and didn't experience this bug, but cm sucked battery at much higher rate than stock touchwiz. Buy the nexus 7 (2) if possible
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] danlo:
Which civ's ROM did you flash? The 4.2.2 ROM is using stock kernel and still has the freezing issue, but 4.1.2 ROM is packaged with custom kernel and there have been no issues so far. If you want to stick with stock he also has just kernel.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kisrita:
I have this same problem too, and yes I also have the impression it is getting worse.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] junjun10:
Still no fix for it? I can't install Civ's Re-flex rom because my device is N5100. so my last option is to go back to my stock/out of the box firmware. How can I know what is the stock firmware for N5100
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] jordant2:
This is exactly what I was thinking. Just have to wait for it to come out next month. I really don't have any other option but to return this tablet. Without root or custom kernels, I'm at Samsung's mercy. If they're not willing to acknowledge this issue, there will never be a fix. I can't take the chance. I just sent an email and it was freezing while I was typing. Definitely getting worse with more use.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] meboy:
Same issue for me as described by others.

Screen and buttons unresponsive for a second or two very regularly while using fingers (haven't tested pen only for long enough to see a difference).

Everyone who has this issue post here. Lets get this thread good and long and the issue will get more attention.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] junjun10:
How about the latest firmware from china and taiwan? the MG1. does anyone already tried it? does it fix the screen freeze problem??
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] tucamsam:
This happens to me on my wifi version as well. I'll be in the middle of CSR racing and try to hit the shift only to realize that I've hit another period of an unresponsive screen. My car keeps going, but missing a shift means I just about always lose the race. Not a big deal, but kind of annoying. It happens pretty much everywhere else too, but it's not quite as noticeable as there since that one's very time sensitive...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] junjun10:
just go back to stock rom MD1 and it will fix the problem. All the latest firmware have this issue as for the moment.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] TC93:
My short freezes haven't happened for a while now, I was getting them fairly often. I was also having problems typing where my spacebar button presses didn't always register, but so far haven't had that problem since leaving the tablet out of its case. Or maybe its all just a coincidence and it will start back up after typing this.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gaffer1986:
I get the same problem, had the note 8 since beginning of April and was brilliant until an update. Wish I said no to the update, when will I learn!

---------- Post added at 09:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 AM ----------

How do you return the note 8 to the original software/rom?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] jhonuy03:
I am also experiencing unresponsiveness for 1 to 3 seconds..

but not a big issue for me..
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] slushbilly:
It did not bother me as much as it does now. Installed galaxy on fire 2 and the momentary freeze really messes things up. That was my favorite game on the apple app store. What a bummer.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] TC93:
You can ignore my previous post, as I have the unresponsive keyboard again. Using the default browser anyways.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] efanatic:
I have this issue too. Very annoying. This is the first android device that I have had this issue with.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] slushbilly:
Hey Samsung... Can we flash our device with the old firmware that doesn't have this problem without voiding our warranty?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Philaretus:
I have this problem too, it's very annoying because it happens frequently. If I could return it/exchange it I would in a heartbeat for one of the Nexus tablets.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] TC93:
The new nexus 7 tablets are full of their own bugs, like apps crashing and the gps not working half the time. Google obviously didn't do much beta testing on it.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] jhonuy03:
any one tried the 4.2.2 for N5120, does it fix the problem?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] merlin803:
Add me to the list

I just received my note 8 last week and thought that it was just an issue with Internet browsing (because that is about 95% of what I have used it for so far).

Hope it gets fixed but I will still put up with it over the Nexus 7 that I sold...that screen was just too small for me.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] frostdragon779:
Reverse back to firmware MD1, I did this today, and it got rid of the screen freezing
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] merlin803:
Can you explain how to do this? Do we lose anything going back (besides the freezing, lol)?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] meboy:
Try this?

The other day I had the screen freeze and right then also got a pop-up to say that "exchange server service" had stopped working.

This seemed like more than coincidence since I wasn't doing anything related to email or exchange.

Searching about issues with the service gets lots of people with issues.

I froze the Exchange service with Titanium backup and haven't noticed it happen since.

I know this doesn't make much sense and I'm not sure why going back to the old firmware would fix it if exchange service is really the issue but I have had apps and services freeze a device momentarily before so it's not that far fetched. Thought I'd throw it out there and see what people think.

Anyone else want to test it and see if it works?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Philaretus:
I will be testing this tomorrow. Thank you for sharing.

Same Problem with SGH I467

I have had the same problem with my ATT SGH-I467 Usually on the browser while showing a customer our website and what our capabilities are... it really sucks and hope they fix this issue soon!! :o
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] frostdragon779:
Go to Samsung-updates.com

Choose a firmware which was built in March or April. In my case: I have N5110 and I chose the first MD1 firmware.

You can choose any firmware within the exact model. There are many firmware for N5110 but different regions, but anyone of them should work with a N5110 note 8.

Don't use N5100 firmware on a N5110 note 8.

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

Flash the firmware with Odin, this may increase your note flan counter to 1, but it can be rest by triangle away app

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

I'm not sure, because I have used a lot of Samsung devices with exchange service enabling and never experienced this issue
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] purepulse64:
Ugh

I've reported the issue with Samsung and just get the "well you can send it in and we'll take a look at it".

I know somebody who works for Samsung and told him to send it up for me.. hopefully they will take care of this issue soon!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] meboy:
Try it and see.

I'm getting a bit more sure now after a few days with it disabled and not once have I had it happen since. It happened really regularly before.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] slushbilly:

But, my screens sensitivity seems really low. EG, if I tap fast on the screen, it doesn't register it, no matter how hard i tap
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] junjun10:
For all those who flashed it already (4.2.2) , does it fix the screen freeze issue? any other issues that you noticed? I'm about to flash it right now and if it has the same issues, i will not go for it. please reply. thanks!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] junjun10:
Finally! and update that doesnt have SCREEN FREEZE. The official 4.2.2 for N5100 does'nt have this issue, kudos Samsung! :D its perfect!

manual update via odin, just wait for the official release of 4.2.2 for n5110, last week they released 4.2.2 for N5120, a week later (which was yesterday) they released for n5100. maybe next week it will be released for n5110

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] jmcourir:
Dmunjal, this thread is for Galaxy Note 8... perhaps you mean i467 ?

If it's the case, I agree that I'd like to see an update for SGH-i467 LTE for Canadians :)

Still hesitating to buy an Note 8 LTE ... :confused: I bought Nexus 7.2 yesterday, returned right away. If I would see more devellopers working on Note 8, Roms, etc...

Maybe this product is still too recent?

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] nnik_1969:
The end of momentary screen freeze is 4.2.2. Just get the update and the problem is solved.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] californiarailroader:
So when is the 4.2.2 update coming for the WiFi only 5110?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] slushbilly:
Wish I knew. Hopefully soon. Starting to wish I did not buy the note 8.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] californiarailroader:
I hope so too, though I'm not regretting my purchase at all. It'll be nice to have 4.2.2 when it comes, no doubt, especially for the screen freeze fix, but I'm loving the Note 8.0 as it is now.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] frostdragon779:
Doesn't the 4.2.2 firmware blocks the ability to run flash player on the stock browser?

Why so cheered up?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] efanatic:
Man l hope not. I am using the stock browser because it can use flash.

So 4.2 update to get rid of the screen freeze issue or 4.1 with flash? Guess thats the question.

well l could always go back to using dolphin browser again.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kisrita:
You can still use flash in stock 4.2 and in stock 4.3 on Nexus devices with browsers that support it. (I typically use Boat browser). You just have to install it yourself. I doubt Samsung would disable that, but I haven't tested the Samsung versions, I only know the pure Android 4.2 and 4.3 versions.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] EricGTS:
Finally

Really glad to know im not the only one with the issue and that the update fixed the issue.:D I bought this tablet in the US but I live in Canada, so I was getting worried that I was going to be stuck with a defective tablet, and was sarting to regret not getting the Nexus 10 instead. I'll just have to wait for the update for the Wifi model, where I live. Playing temple run 2 was getting impossible with this issue...

Also called up samsung many times, and was about to get my tablet repaired/replaced. Good thing I didn't. But I guess ill have to test it before getting all exited.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] leomon32:
Excuse, but I'm also having a weird issue with my brand new tablet : quite randomly I have the screen that goes black and revert back to normal. It's pretty short and really random, I had that issue while drawing and while playing a game. The sound was still ongoing without any problem and I dunno if that's the same kind of problem you have everyone ?

My GN8 is a GT-5100 Android 4.1.2 N5100XXBMC8

Please can you also tell me if an update to the German 4.2.2 may solve my problem ?

I try to change the screensaver to a long time and remove everything auto that could switch off my screen but that didn't solved anything...

Thanks in advance

Will monitor and keep you posted

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] TC93:
I haven't experienced the freezing since installing the 4.2.2. So far anyways.

I never noticed any black screen problem before. Maybe an app is causing that for you?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Cperrry1:
Screen freeze

Thnx for your reply. I'm still running 4.1.2, WiFi version. After turning off Air View have not had any screen freeze at all. I turned Air View back on to see if screen freeze returns.

I find screen freeze is isolated to the note 8, no problems with my note 2 or note 10.1.

Will keep you posted,

I'm just needing to know if this IS an issue that has been brought to Samsungs attention, and IF there is a fix out for it. The forum above provides insight on the issue, if you care to look through it.
