[Q] About S-Pen and Screen - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
Just couples of hours ago i noticed when I was browsing internet using S Pen, when i point to a hyperlink & make the tip of it as near as it can to the screen, that hyperlink looks as if there's a mouse hovering over it (change of color). Is it normal?
Since i heard some s pen problem that the device recognize strokes but actually the pen don't touch at all.
Fyi : I'm running a dolphin browservHD instead the stock ones
Thanks.

[Q] Galaxy s display

I have a problem with my Galaxy when I try to draw with any paint app can not use full display!
The problem is that always stays a white frame as shown in the picture!
Is this normal?
Sorry for my english using google translator!
Your fingers aren't pointy enough.
Can you try on your Galaxy and upload screenshot?
What app are you using? Let me try.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
The name of the app's "Painting"
Anyone just a screenshot, or at least test!?
Yay I found the solution! Click the hand in the painting app to adjust scale and bingo! Access to the entire page. Still not perfect but hey...

But it should work without any tricks or not?
Can you draw on your galxy to the edge of the display without any tricks?
No as the apps don't allow it. Nothing wrong with the phone, or your finger lol.

Actually I think I may be wrong about this. The phone does not seem to respond when the very edges of the touchscreen are touched!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I tried this app on HTC Desire and Acer Liquid, and on both I could draw to the edge of the display only Galaxy not!!
When I type the *#*# 2664 #*#* to get into test mode for display,
on the complete edge I have no reaction to touch i in a width of 10-15 pixel!

I can confirm this. Autodesk Sketchbook show the same problem!
If you want to draw with more accuracy, get a phone with Resistive Touch Screen.
I do not want to draw, drawing program is the only app where I can show my problem!
My question was, Is this normal and if someone else has similar problems?
Everyone with the phone has the same problem as you.

New screen problem? Horizontal random black lines.

Just noted that I have maybe a defective screen (or GPU?).
Sometimes when using apps like XDA, browsing or apps with a lot of white background I noticed black lines (1pixel width).
When you holding in portrait mode their appear on the bottom side of he screen, and are horizontal. Always very fast, they appear and then go very fast. Sometimes its only one horizontal line,sometimes two.
When you hold in landscape mode they appear on the whole screen (vertical lines). It happened to me know two times while typing this post.
I'm full stock, not rooted. I have the power plug on and charging, maybe some power oscillation? Will see if happens without charger.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I thought I was going crazy when I noticed this! I legitimately see black lines down the screen for about a second just slightly out of my peripheral, and then they're gone.
Happens on xda and chrome, it's a known problem. Some people say other kernels help get rid of it. I think it's just a software bug.

Same issue here.

I also noticed these kind of lines. It happened while watching some videos on YouTube. Also on XDA, portrait mode, on the upper side of the screen. Anyone has a software solution for this? I am just afraid not to get some permanent lines like this.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
So... seems like that the problem appears for me only when I'm charging.
Anyone can confirm that the lines appears without charger plugged in?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Yes, the lines appear without charging.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Happens to my Nexus 7 also. They appear very briefly, like for half a second. Usually in the bottom half of the screen (I can't even tell if it appears at the same spot - it appears so briefly, but I do think I have seen it once or twice in the upper half). I have seen it on xda app, Tapatalk app, and Chrome blank page. I think I may have seen it on the home screen also.
On my Tapatalk app I turned the background to dark gray and font to white, but I have still seen it 1-2 times, so it doesn't just happen with white backgrounds.
Don't know if its a software issue and can be fixed with updates or should I get it exchanged? It will be hard to make the store understand what the problem is since it is quite rare, happens to me only a couple of times a day or so (although I have been playing Angry Birds extensively recently to see if it app specific or not, and I have yet to see on Angry Birds - I actually have not seen it anywhere for the last couple of days since I started playing AB).
I only get them in the Tapatalk app. And it doesn't happen often enough to be annoying so I don't really care.
Here here!!
Had them on Tapatalk, dolphin browser and on Plume to name a few. Like others said though, they ain't frequent tto become a PITA but are still noticeable.

I swear these threads are going to appear every week talking about the same problems that have already been discussed many times over.
As said many times before, this is a common issue with tegra 3. The one x line flickering was fixed with an update.
Or you can download a custom kernel with an increased panel clock rate and be happy.
So anybody else have screen raise on the left or is it just me???? just messing.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Saw it on Angry Birds too. So its just not on xda or Tapatalk apps.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
A custom kernel does fix it. I had this problem until I flashed the motley kernel and it went away. Then I when I went to the paranoid android ROM I didn't know at the time but it changed my kernel back to stock... I didn't realize it had changed until I noticed the lines again. So far I have used the Trinity kernel and motely's and both have solved the screen tearing problem. If you don't want to flash a custom kernel I'm sure google will fix it in a future update. Thankfully its not a hardware problem.

Really happy that the problem can be fixed with a software update.

Screen tearing
Different from the backlight flicker, known issue, please vote :good:
I have this as well well as screen moving issue I'm going to buy a 16 gb version and send this back for refund. Hope they will do that I really don't need two Nexus 7 tablets
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Xparent Pink Tapatalk 2
Yep, I've seen it happen with the xda app, and it looks like it flickers a line for a second and goes away.
i have this as well, a dark horizontal line appears in a flash of second at random time and place, i thot it is the flicker issue ppl talked about?
but i dont have the whole screen flicker tho i have tried google map zooming or panning with gps on and weak wifi signal and auto brightness off and 15%

(help) Galaxy s diaplay turned pink

My phone's diaplay has turned pink.But when I press the home button to open task manager then the area behind recent apps dialog box becomes as it should be.
So please anyone could tell me if it could be repaired or the screen is to be changed!
Thanks in advance
Hmmm. This is interesting.
Did this just suddenly happen or did something happen to it, eg. Did you flash a rom/kernel or did to get submerged in water etc
If it did get submerged in water, its likely a hardware fault
Try flash in Sempahore GB, that has Voodoo colour, and see if that changes anything - if not, its likely a hardware fault

Follow what @Soryuu said to do. In my opinion, if this is a hardware issue (display to be changed), then you better buy a used phone as it costs equal to the display. Or you may use it as your secondary phone and buy a new quad core phone

Maybe a hardware issue like that:

but if there's something wrong with the display then why the area behind the recent dialog box ok

That's probably why - when you reassembled the phone you must have also done something to the screen digitiser without realising.

Check that the display flex cable is properly seated. Or see if you can tune it out with colour calibration.

yeah the display cable is properly seated but then also the display is as it is
What about using colour calibration? Have you tried that?

Try to clean the screen connectors or try with another display.
Good luck

sorry, but how to do that?
i just installed the app and then just adjusted the brightness accordingly
What ROM are you using? Most ROMs for i9000 have colour adjustment built into settings.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Same setting point in CM 10.x
In CM 11 it is called "color calibration" under "Other device options"
thanks
Thanks for the help but i have tried this several times.
but it is same. !!!
Not really satisfying but the main thing is your display works ... :good:

Touch screen inconsistency

Hello all,
Does anyone have issues with their xperia XP's touch screen being funky at times?
I notice this most when I type by swiping ( Google keyboard, swift key, xperia keyboard)... The swipe will break half way, kinda annoying but I've been dealing with it.
Is this fixable with a custom ROM or software update in the future? Or is it more a hardware issue?
Any advise is appreciated, thanks!

Yes, has been written many times before.
The touch screen sucks
Sent from my F8131 using XDA-Developers mobile app
There is, 100%
Turn on developer mode and enable touch and turn on "SHOW TOUCHES". Play around with your phone, occasionally you'll notice your touch registers (dot on screen after touch) but the phone doesn't recognize or register your touch as an interaction with the device. It's like it happens, but it doesn't process your request.
Exchanged XP for X, exchanged X for another X. After two, I settled to keep this one, it's consistent across the board and it makes for a terrible typing experience if you're quick, you have to slow down your typing by about 75% and the keyboard is working overtime to correct missed keys and typos.
Maybe changing the keyboard will improve it? I mean, I only experience it when typing in the keyboard but other activities like swiping and dragging does not show any inconsistencies

Not the issue here... Mine is not normal, it is in every app and one time is went crazy and registered touch on its own on the table. Bad quality.
When using any keyboard on mine with swipe with two fingers for typing it simply is impossible to write and often when swiping it stops and writes on its own

Restarting the phone usually fix the issue for me so pretty sure it's a firmware/ROM issue ( also fix auto-rotation issue)

I used touchscreen calibration and have not had any issues with the screen going crazy for two days now.
Typing with two fingers does still not work though, but I can swipe without issues now.
If the problem comes back I will let you know, but two days without problems is brilliant

Is this software or hardware? Its really bad on mine,. Along with my signal. I really don't like this phone. Not to mention the lack of development or updates. My phone is almost unusable half the time between the screen and signal

It does not fix all on mine... As it sometimes presses instead of scrolling but I have workers hands so that may be why.

Can't highlight buttons like mouse on websites anymore !

The hand icon doesn't appear on websites while browsing and doesn't trigger drop down menu !! It works fine on my Note 8 running Pie but not Note 9
If anyone can let me know if it works with them before i factory reset it would be highly appreciated
Update:
Here is a video showing what I mean. Kindly note that all this happen without touching the screen only hovering the S-Pen. This doesn't happen on my Note 9! All I can do is scroll while hovering and no buttons will be triggered.
