I am not familiar with the slim ics settings. So there may not be a seeting available. you might try to change the screen sensitivity or a different keyboard.

I've seen this happen on a different ICS ROM on my Captivate. It is intermittent, i.e. goes along just fine and then a period of "stutter" typing and then back to fine. I guess I'll try a different keyboard as the other person suggested. I'm currently using Smart Keyboard Pro. How about you?

I switched to that one yesterday. No problems *yet* but not nearly long enough to be conclusive.
found out it was a third party charger, if you guys have one, thats your problem

Hmmmm..... I haven't experienced it since switching to the stock keyboard. But, it's so intermittent, it's hard to call that conclusive. I think I'll switch back to Smart keyboard and see if the problem comes back.
What sort of third party charger are you using and how did you come to that conclusion?
Have you tried flashing your cap to docs Master ROM? You will not be let down. My only complaint is the call quality.

I'm sure this has been asked before, and probably answered, but I didn't notice anything recently.
Has anyone found a way to decrease that time it takes between selecting the contact and actually dialing out? Some days mine takes a good 30 seconds before it dials, and that's by far my biggest annoyance with 2.1 right now
Try zen's slide rom, dials out for me in 4-5 seconds for me, every time

so there's no way to change the time it takes to dial out through code or anything like that? I like the ROM I have now lol
No it's a problem with all 2.1 sprint based roms, unfortunately. Live a little, try the slide rom, out darch droid, or the upcoming froyo

it's not that I don't want to try it, it's that I don't like the way it looks (can't stand espresso) and rarely have the time to modify it the way I like. And the froyo is far from being an everyday ROM (chances are I'll try it out when it's good enough to be an everyday worker).
You could try dialer one in market, I've hard it works well but have not tried it myself.

i don't think dialer one will help if he is having the same problem as me... dialing works fine, but once you hit call it can take up to 10 seconds to actually connect at times. i was hoping to get the actual phone.apk from another rom on the stock rom, but no luck yet.
That is not an issue with this: [ROM] Sprint 2.27.651.6 STOCK Deoxed w/A2SD Update 3 |6/22/2010|
Out going calls and incoming calls are all very quick.
Maybe if you take the phone.apk and the dialer.apk from it?

not a bad idea, might have to give it a shot. Not sure it'll work as I imagine there's a bit more to it, but it'd be worth a shot (after making a backup obviously). I'll have to give it a try tomorrow when I've got nothing else to do
let me know how this goes as i have the same issue.
in for the answer to this too. I tried making a call today it took over a minute and a half to dial out, i was about to throw my phone in the woods.
I have been noticing a weird thing with my Droid 3. I love the phone. I haven't had any issues. I do get this annoying green screen effect during transitions. It only seems to happen if I have Netflix or Youtube running in the background. I can fix the problem by going into my settings and turning off my screen animations. I am in the process of getting it exchanged. I will let you know if it is just a fluke or maybe a possible issue with the phone software.
Is this happening to anyone out there with a Droid 3?
video coming soon. Still uploading
I have the same problem between screen changes

My wifes did that too, but she was using just texts. I turned off animations and to save battery, and noticed it hadn't come back yet. Thought maybe I was only one

tried to replicate the problem on mine, but didn't have any issues. Hmm.
Green is usually an overlay color when drawing from a framebuffer. This just means something is forcing screen output before the frame is fully drawn. It's an out-of-sync drawing issue somewhere in the software or driver and isn't a hardware problem. I wouldn't worry too much about it unless it happens so often that it annoys you. It's not hurting anything.
I've seen this as well with youtube...I've also seen it show a partial view of my homescreen while transitioning between menus....not a big deal, but hopefully it'll get fixed soon

Happened to my wifes and my phone today. Kept going to green screen when trying to open the camara app. Had to reboot to make it go away. Im also on my third droid 3 phone.

Yeah, a stuck app that is unable to redraw will do the same thing but instead of a flash it's a permanent green-screen until the app is force closed or the phone is rebooted. I've had the camera do this to me a few times and Motorola has already come forward saying the camera app has problems, including this one, that they're working on.
i could live with an occasional software glitch if everythign wasn't so dammed slow. i've yet to see this phone actually perform a function faster than my D2. the software overhead is unbelievable.

Well we could be in luck, it looks like root on the D3 could very likely happen sometime this week. 2.3.4 has been successfully rooted with the phone already on 2.3.4 and the bootloader still locked. We have P3 all over it now, too.

I had the green screen issue. I uninstalled youtube updates and haven't seen it since, same thing on my girls d3 hope it helps
This morning when I woke up I checked the calendar on my Captivate and everything looked fine. I had an IM app (Go) running but stopped it. I went back about 15 minutes later to look at something else on my phone and it would not wake up. Nothing I did would make the screen come on. I eventually just pulled the battery and it started working fine. This is the 3rd or 4th time that's happened and usually at night while charging.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help
Its called sleep death. What ROM, kernel,oc/UV values are you using?
I've never heard of that, but I would definitely say that describes it perfectly.
I'm actually running stock Froyo. All of this pain lately makes me want to load up a custom ROM this weekend (assuming it would help). I just don't want to end up bricked.
Thanks
That's not sleep death, at least what I experienced, I have seen that on my own captivate. Usually mine will lock up and become non-responsive, eventually the phone will restart. I don't know if it is a common issue but one I have had often.
Ya I've had that happen. Either I gotta pull the battery or my phone poops on itself and reboots. Oh well

I've given custom ROMs much thought. Not sure which one I'd choose, etc. Seems like there is so much to read and a lot of the information builds on itself. My luck I'd try AIO or something and get down to page 80 of all the postings and realize it doesn't work for me after I already flash it.

I started having the same problem a couple days ago. I've my captivate for almost one year already. I had stock eclair, froyo, several roms. Now I'm using stock GB 2.3.5 KI2. The only thing that I can think it changed is the fact that I added an external 16gb sd. I'll do a factory reset and remove sd to see if it happens again.

I have had the least issues on cognition 4.5.3, the gingerbread leaks for whatever reason never worked well for me. I have a S II now with no issues, but still use the captivate like an iPod touch. Working very well on cognition as I type.

I found the source of my battery leak/black screen. It was "Smooth Calendar Widget" app.
Can anyone test if their Gnote can register fast swipes using touch, simply open up the S-Memo application and put it in landscape mode then quicky swipe from the left to the right side of the screen and vice versa. I noticed this while playing fruit ninja, doesnt really present a real world issue but I just want to confirm if everyone is affected by this, Using the S-Pen does not skip any input though.
Yes i noticed that when i was playing fruit slice it would not complete the fast swipes. But when i did it slowly it worked.
I dont know why.
I have this problem sometimes with the swype keyboard: due to this two words instead of the right one is recignized!
Occurs only when I swype really fast, but especially then its very annoying!

You didn't have your Note plugged into a charger at the time did you? This can sometimes throw the touch input off when you do, especially with third party chargers.

Same problem here with swype... and I thought it was just me... could it be a limitation to support the Wacom stylus?
Tried KL1, KL3, LA1 stock ROMs.
Edit: BTW I use swype on potrait mode, so the problem is not just limited to landscape mode.
same problem here!, I've tested other keyboards, like slideIT, and there are no problems splitting words like in swype... so I think we could try the swype version installed in the first rom of the note, but.... how could we get it???
Its not only limited to the swype app but any fast motions with the finget dont get picked up, either try fruit ninja or the smemo.
Are you running a custom rom or just stock firmware? It could be an issue with your system lagging or running slow. Many of these custom rom's have issues with lagging even though there intended to speed up the note. Im running romow 7.5 hd right now with abyss note 3.3 overclocked to 1.7 and my fruit ninja funs like butter!

Hello, after the official ICS update for Germany gnote its nothing but problems for me, unstable and slow not impressed at all.
Today I ran into phone app crashing constantly. I'm using Samsung's original Gnote car mount and I have it set landscape view as most of us do. When I got a call while driving I noticed the whole screen went BLACK! couldn't see who was calling and wasn't able to click anything... Few seconds later got a notice saying android phone app had crashed! Wtf.... So I wondered if this only happens in landscape view? What do you know, it was! When the phone is in portrait view phone didn't crash at all...
So I would like to find out if this is just happening to me only? Please if you own a Samsung gnote official carmount and if you have updated your gnote to Samsung's official ICS update (germany) try to make a phone call while your phone is in landscape view.
Please let me know thank you for your time!
Update: I'm sure many of us reported germany samsung this issue but what the hell I did it this morning as well included with video. I hope they release fix soon.

Yes, here is from Italy another "unlucky user" with the same problem!!!
German Galaxy Note with stock ICS - German version and original Samsung car mount...
Exactly the same problem, with dark screen and com.android.phone terminated and instability
I made a couple of times re-flash also starting again from GB and updating again to ICS... NOTHING always the same mess.
I spent a lot of hours to be at the same page
The crazy thing is that the issue is only if connecting the chip that powers the phone. I mean that just keeping in horizontal without power supply everything works. When plugging, at that stage it is the voice car mode that creates the trouble! But if you just use the voice interaction without putting in the car mount... everything is working fine again, either in vertical or horizontal positions
The difference I noticed is that the car mode icon appears, and at that stage we are in trouble. I couldn't find any parameter to avoid that plugging the phone in the car mount this car mode is activated, otherwise the bypass would have been easy, given that I do not use the voice commands...

no workaround that we might find?
If some expert guy here would know how to prevent any specific software function launch when connecting the power in this car mount accessory.... We would maximise the probabilities that everything works fine as without power supply.
The only issue would be phone calls in vertical mode only.

The launcher is bypassed by the car accessory. When connecting power authomatically the system launches the "horizontal car mode" and vocal guidance and I'm sure this state is the one that creates the problem
My perception is that the customer service does not report problems to the HQ, I'm afraid so we should hope they discovered the issue on their own and are studying a fix
depends, i used to report weird bug to htc, but it usually take them 7 months in average to fix it. this is my 1st samsung phone, so i m not aure about samsung procedures.

The same for me. The fact is that we can disable the voice commands interface, but once connected the supply plug through the car mount, the "car mode" remains on, and as a matter of fact the phone calls come in horizontal
The only way everything is working, in horizantal and inside the car mount, is to not connect the supply/audio connector!
The battery is not charging at that stage of course, the phone calls are in vertical but the navigator and all the other interfaces are working in horizontal
Till when the battery is exhausted... it's working fine
Let's hope for a fix (or a workaround from the XDA community) in a short time
