Multi touch/ raindrop? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone here with the 7000 note experience issues with multi touch like we are having with the att version? When using more then one touch, we lose the first finger after about 10 seconds(seems to be the raindrop detection like the atrix had). Here is the thread where we are talking about it...

My galaxy S plus is slow after standby

Hello
After five days of using my new galaxy s plus, it become so slow after exiting standby (unlocking). It needs about two or three minutes to back on its "normal" speed. Everything is so laggy and slow.
I've recently installed juice defender and I was thinking it's causing the problem, but the problem is still there after uninstalling JD. I've turned off most of my apps, but the problem is still here.
Any ideas what's causing this problem and how I, can fix it?
I have only three home screens and 4 widgets.

Wellcome to the "laggy" club... Which rom do you use? I found Value Pack roms extremly laggy on unlock. Im using stock non-deodexed (odexed ) KQ1 and I set lag to minimum. A
P.S. Please write in i9001 Q&A .. dont spamm main thread.

[ZIP][MOD] Increase touch responsiveness

Fist off, huge thanks to these people:
-Ryuinferno - His init.d on any device method
-Matt on code.google.com - Old touch driver and temp install method
Disclaimer:
-I am not responsible for any damage this may cause.... (You've seen this a billion times so I'll leave it at that)
NOTE: This mod causes touch to be unresponsive for about 30 seconds on boot up!
What this does:
-Enables init.d by adding a command into install-recovery.sh to run anything in /system/etc/init.d (method by Ryuinferno)
-Extracts the E015 driver to /system for safe keeping and script usage (E015 is a downgrade of the touch driver that senses touch better)
-Adds an init.d script that changes the touchscreen driver to E015 on every boot (driver supplied by Matt and so was the temp-replace method. It runs his method on every boot essentially.)
-Sends log to /data/Driver.log so user can check proper installation if desired
The advantage of using this over using a kernel with E015 in it is that it does not mess with custom recovery touch sensing.
Instructions:
-THIS WILL NOT WORK UNLESS BUSYBOX IS INSTALLED! You can install it with this app.
-Download the zip from here
-Flash it in a custom recovery. If you don't know how to flash a recovery / root / flash a zip, there are plenty of tutorials floating around.
If you want to undo this:
-Flash this zip through recovery.
Enjoy!
thanks.. works well but the disadvantage of this is that everytime you reboot your phone is not responsive for 5 - 10 seconds.
Touch is far more sensitive. I can no longer rest my finger on the home button without it triggering although PSR values are still the same with lowest I got being 0.36
also can you please provide a revert .zip to remove all changes? I don't want to have to reflash my ROM if I no longer want the mod. Thanks.

Thanks for this. I'll wait for a revert as this hasn't been much of a concern for me since I got used to it, but it's great to see this development today. I'm sure a number of folks are thrilled.
Just to confirm, this would qualify as an add-on to any kernel, correct? I noticed you mentioned the advantage of this over kernels with the new sensitivity but reading on your description it appears this will not replace your kernel?

It's not a kernel, it's essentially a script that runs on boot.
Revert going up in the next hour
Not only does e015 fix the touchscreen responsiveness, it also fixes the issue where if the phone is connected to an a/c powered usb port, the touchscreen responsiveness is even more degraded.
yea but I've noticed a few bugs with it already (touch being registered as pressed for about 4 seconds longer than my finger) as well as it is making my swiftkey lag behind so I'll probably revert until an official fix is in the works/made.

Tested out and as someone who hasn't had much of an issue with the reduced sensitivity, this is awesome. No issues with SwiftKey or anything either.
I am however unresponsive for about 10s after boot, not a big deal though.

This made mine unresponsive for around 30 seconds, it's random also, and makes the touchscreen unresponsive in recovery for around a minute.
Doesn't really seem to make any difference to the sensitivity on my phone either so I guess different phones have different sensitivity? Or I don;t notice the difference.
Using the revert zip didnt do anything so I had to revert to a nandroid backup.
Definitely feels like its improved! Hopefully its not just placebo

Checked the PRS readings and got 0.3-0.5 instead of the usual 0.5-0.6. I'm also using a screen protector that's real thick. All is well!

I checked mine as well, still mostly in 5s but a few in the 3s. Even the 5 presses would've never registered in the past, huge difference.

This is awesome! It's absolutely more sensitive than stock. Taps are still in the .50's a lot, but I can get them in the .20's. However, ignoring the numbers, the absolute lightest taps are now registering so I'm thrilled with this
Thanks OP!
EDIT: Also, it's so sensitive that I can use my fingernail to tap and swipe (I'm a guy with short nails, so this wouldn't work for someone with longer nails). Even still, such a big difference because this wasn't possible with the original driver.
A few questions...
1) Does the "undo" zip work?
2) Okay to use with any ROM, correct (running stock 4.2.1 odexed)
3) OP: Any idea on the temporary freeze at each initial boot?
If im not reading this wrong, the "fix" uses an OLDER driver ? (i find it funny each time something is fixed by going back in time)

My Nexus 4 is an embarrassment

Apologies for the rant folks but I need to get this off my chest!
<rant>
Google needs to fix the Nexus 4 bugs fast
My state-of-the-art Nexus 4 phone has some major issues that aren't just frustrating - they're embarrassing. The camera will often stop working, especially when used in low light or after taking lots of pictures. I was out for a Christmas dinner with friends last night and we asked the waitress to take a picture of the group. I handed her my phone and ended up red-faced because the bloody camera wouldn't work. I also had the camera freeze with the flash still lit up on numerous occasions last night. How the hell did this get through testing? This isn't a one-off - it happens *every* time I try to take lots of pictures. I expect the camera to work.
Can you imagine the furore if the camera on an iPhone did this? People would be foaming at the mouth.
And the camera quality is pretty poor with many shots out of focus and terrible red-eye on others (with no red-eye reduction mode available) and none of the fancy new image filters can fix it. Yet I'm pretty sure ICS had a red-eye reduction filter.
And I also have a WiFi issue which means my connection speed will drop from 40MB to around 2MB for no reason. I have to toggle WiFi off/on to clear it. Rumour is that it's a problem with the WPA2 encryption used by some routers but I have yet to prove this myself and all our other devices are fine, my Nexus 7 included.
And this morning the phone rang and I couldn't answer the call because the buttons on the incoming call screen simply didn't work. It was charging at the time which I expect is the issue but even so...
In my humble opinion Google needs to get a 4.2.2 update out that addresses issues like this quickly because right now I am seriously considering selling this device and getting something else.
I am not your beta-tester Google. This just isn't good enough.
</rant>
I feel better now. Sorry if this thread sounds a little selfish but I expected so much more from a Nexus device. My 2011 Xperia arc S might of been a bit laggy but at least it was 100% reliable.
Well then return it.. or maybe learn how to use it first.
Personally I don't have any of these issues.

I no issues with my camera from Christmas dinner last night either, from 3 to 8:30pm EST I was snapping away.
No wifi issues here either.
Either yours is broken or some crap app is causing the issue.
Had the camera thing happen to me yesterday. Also have a screen bug that makes part of the screen disappear.
Buy I consider these android problem's which can be fixed. Not Nexus 4 problems.

OP should re-flash the stock ROM. If his issues continue, I'd RMA the device.

That's just the price. The actual specs could be considered state of the art.
I'm not sure why the 350 price tag seems to give people a sense of cheapness. This is what a high end phone should sell for. Instead companies **** all over the little people of the world by inflating the price by 300% and lots of times more. Google is merely just sticking it back to those companies and also marketing their ecosystem...

Google says(look at the specs of the phone)... BTW I use the crap out of my N4 camera and have not had these problems. Also I leave mine plugged inost of the day at work (I'm in a vehicle) and have never had an issue with answering. Id RMA it but it up to u if u wanna wait and see if 4.2.2 fixes these issues. I would have though 4.2.2 would be out by now but oh well.
Using Tapatalk 2
did you put in a custom rom?
The camera bug is well documented as are the WiFi problems. This is not just an issue with my device. I'm on stock 4.2.1 fwiw. Maybe a reflash is worth a try but I doubt it.
Funny how when anyone dares to criticise this device people get all defensive though!

I've had some times where the call and lock screen are unresponsive. Usually there is a home and back button at the bottom for seemingly no reason and I have to hit ”back" to get back to the state where I can use the lock screen.. I'm guessing this is causing the call screen to lose interactivity sometimes as well. I'm suspecting issues related to lock screen widgets/extra functionality/Google Now as none of this used to happen on previous revisions, it seemed to start when that feature set was introduced. I also accidentally bring up the camera from the lock screen which gets annoying, but that's more my fault in the way I pick the phone up sometimes if I "pry" it up when it's sitting against something. Annoying, but whatever.
I have had no camera issues specially yet, though I haven't used it extensively only occasionally.
We are all beta testers for any phone we use. How do you think they know what to change and fix for future models.
Still it sure does not seem so awful for most others.
Plus, we have no idea what apps you may be using that may be messing things up.

I totally agree with OP.
Was in Switzerland last week and the camera also decided to stop working, flash would stay on, screen wouldn't turn off and it was boiling.
Turned it on and off but during those 2 days happened more then once.
It was embarrassing because I was telling my family how good this phone was but they just laughed at me. Everyone one else has an iPhone even the kids (3 iPads, 4 iPhone, 2 imacs)
So difficult to get one so might sell mine. I want a phone that works and I am not spending my money to do beta tests.
Ps. This is my second one and I we are not even talking about the rattle and the buzzing

[Q] Vibrate on answer

Hi there,
I've been using htc for the last 7 yrs, I tried Sony Tab S more than a year ago after that I decided to make.believe. So I got my Xperia Z 2 days ago, by prr-ordering from Sony Dealer
back to the topic, on my (android) htc devices I used to have this feature, the phone vibrates when the other party answers my outgoing call, so I don't have to hold the phone next to my ears while waiting for the call to be answered. it is extremely important for those who live a busy life like my little self
any app or trick to do it on XZ?
Wouldn't you notice when the phone stops going "beeeeep-beeeep"?
You can hear when someone picks up.
But a swift google told me.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.James.DroidVibration&hl=sv
thanks for trying to help
I can't hear the beeep beeep as the phone is far away from my ears and sometimes on the desk (the whole idea is not to hold the phone near your ears while waiting for the answer)
try it, you wont be able to live without it the feature I mean
I tried the above and couple of others from the market, none is working, any other suggestions
Any other suggestions?
I read about modifying phone.apk on galaxy note 2 as this feature is not possible by just installing an app from the market
Can we do the same, it was 2 lines added to the phone.apk?
Can I use the gn2 phone.apk?

[Q] AIR Command on Note n7000 ??

Hi everyone ! Recently i started thinking about the possibility of having the Note 3's Air Command on the Note 1... Because the Screen recognizes the S-Pen BEFORE touching the screen... So, there might be a possibility to do that on the N7000?
Thanks !
PD: Sorry For My English !

It has nothing to do with your hand, its not Air View (feature which already have in GT-N7000), its Air Command: You hover the S Pen in the screen and then press S-Pen Button, then a window will popup and you can hover to select multiple options. You cant use it until Samsung release 4.3 update (something that might not happen) and devs port it.
Definitely something to look forward to.
If some out there can come up with a ROM :silly:
the same functionality is very much supported in N7000.
