[Galaxy Note 4 General] TacticalMissions:
Thank you

1. It happened right out of the box and I noticed it first without a case on. I didn't add or change anything. So on to number 2.

2. You're right, I should have checked the forums first, but after looking at them now and seeing that the solution (removing a case) doesn't help me it's on to number 3.

3. If you watched the video you'd know I went to the store to get it looked at and the Samsung tech guys did a few tests on the device which I mentioned in the video.

4. The point to this post wasn't to ask a question. It was to give everyone a heads up to check their s pens fully if they bought a note 4. Which everyone on Youtube seems to be responding very well to despite "_gate" (25 likes to 6 dislikes in less than 1000 views, plus read all the comments thanking me for the post. Four of those dislikes are confirmed from this forum minutes after posting here, but not enough minutes for people to have actually watched my video which means they just saw #_gate and auto disliked the video). The only question part of it was to see how widespread the issue is. I already have the solution to my problem. I'm getting my phone exchanged later this week. You'd know that too if you watched the video. If you want to get really technical with it then technically I do want to know if anyone found other solutions because I told my subscribers that I'd update them if I found a way to solve the problem without exchanging the phone.

So thanks for pointing out that I did everything the same way you would have with the exception of number 3 which ended up being a moot point because no one had the answer. On top of which, I wasn't looking for an answer in the first place. Which is why there's no question in the title of the post and why I intentionally posted it in the general forum.

Now, let's be honest and talk about the real and only issue anyone has with this post. It's four letters. GATE. If I hadn't used the word "gate" there wouldn't have been a single issue with this post. As I mentioned in a previous post. I chose "gate" intentionally to draw attention to the issue fully understanding that "gate" should be used only for big/widespread issues. The Note 4 had only been released for ONE day in the United States when I posted the video. There is no way that this issue could receive widespread attention in a single day unless people knew to check for the issue. I know people who have owned the Note 2 for over a year now and haven't written on all parts of the screen yet (they don't use the s pen much) which means if they had a dead spot they wouldn't have found it yet. The problem is that if there was a deadspot that they didn't notice before, but started using the s pen more and noticed it after they were out of their warranty, then they just got screwed out of fixing something that could have easily been fixed if they knew to check the s pen right away. The purpose of this post was to help those people. Again, if you read what people are saying in the comments on the video itself you'd see that I succeeded in exactly that. Despite how much everyone from this community seems to hate this post.

For future reference though. What would you have chosen for a title if you wanted to spread news fast about a potential issue that no one would ever think to check for if no one told them about it? "Important, check your note 4's s pen. Some don't work" or anything similar obviously wouldn't have worked because the same people would have jumped in that thread and said the same thing. "Everyone knows it has to do with case magnets. Stop posting without doing your research."
