[HELP] Screen/S-Pen Issue

I was taking some notes in the app Skitch and found out that I can't draw on the right edge of the screen. I only found this out recently since apps like S-Memo don't extend to full-screen so you can never write till the edge of the screen while in apps like Skitch and SBM you can utilize the entire screen.
Here's a pic for better explanation...

Please test this for me and post your results. It's been bugging the hell outta me! I'm thinking of going to the service centre.

Hi,
do you have any kind of cover with some magnets maybe ?
Magnetic fields affect the s-pen. I had a cover which had a magnet and it affected the s-pen
in a way I couldn't write in the edge close to the magnet....

pretty sure its a known issue

Nope. Just a plastic cover. Its frikkin annoying at times while taking notes!

since we are talking about the S-Pen here, i would like to know how to improve the accuracy of the S-Pen. i did a accuracy test and the pen was WAY OFF.

I tested some more and found out that there's a similar issue with the bottom edge of the screen, only much worse. There's a decent amount of area where the pen doesn't work.
As a request, could somebody please test this out? Try Skitch (or preferably Zen Brush or SketchBookMobile since they're completely full-screen). I've already tested on a friends Note and she doesn't have this problem. If I'm a lone case, I'll try the service centre.
EDIT: If someone does test this, try to draw along all the edges.

I was just about to make a new thread when I saw yours. I have the same issue.
I am right-handed and the phone's setting is set to right-handed, this is how it looks when I draw a line from the left side of the screen all the way to the right until the S-Pen disconnects from the screen:
You can clearly see that the line is cut-off ~0.5cm before the edge. If I hold the S-Pen in the left hand and drag a line from right-to-left, I get the same effect on the left side of the screen. Disappointing.
-EDIT: Oh, crap, I thought this was the Note 2 subforum.

Black Note 4 - lines on back and home capacitive touch buttons?

Is it normal to have lines on back and home capacitive touch buttons? I think the glass has a line design to it?

yes. notice the lines all over the front face of the phone? the buttons are under that.

It's a design feature. It's like Marmite (if you don't know what that is... YouTube it) you either love it or hate it. I find it estheticly pleasing.

I've noticed the stripes and I personally don't like it. It looks broken/shonkey to me. Other than that the handset is great.

I'm gonna put myself down for the hate side on this one. The moment I switched my phone on I saw the lines over the notification LED. What was samsung thinking?

I love them, they look... like pixel art.

Hate the lines. Schoolboy error imo. Worst is the lines over led notification

Hate the lines.

I think the lines give it a little extra flavor.

Glad to know its a feature and not a flaw. I don't care what it looks like

there are lines??? although I don't have the capacitive buttons light up at all

Anyone know what the white marks are on the top and bottom of the metal frame?

I believe they are to do with antenna reception

They may also be to assist in ease of production. It's gotta be difficult to put a solid rectangular piece of metal around the edge of a phone.

Yup, those are the "holes" for the antennas.
To the OP: it's the textured painting behind the front protective glass, it is what it is.

The lines are not visible on the white one....perhaps not too surprising but thought I should mention it in case anyone fancies a colour swap at their store!

Thanks. Would a tpu case cause any issues with reception?

Nope.

I also don't like the lines but it it's the only thing I've had to complain about. Anyway I spend all my time looking at the gorgeous screen.

Holy **** I dont care. I never really see the lights on the capbuttons, nor the notification light. I see the light distantly if something happened, and the capbuttons for a few seconds, and on the white version I honestly dont even think about the lines.
What I DO think about is a mm or less of light from the cap backbutton kind of bleeding into the edge of the screen above it, as if it wasnt sealed properly. But thats only noticeable in a dark room, and not really a big deal either... But thats far more annoying.

Not the charging / notification light.. I have another one constantly on!

Any idea what this is? Top of phone has that orange and green charging / notification light which shows up as a tiny dot in one of those little holes.
My phone has a green light that's constantly on for the past week or so on the bottom in one of the little holes directly below the H in HTC.

Got a photo?

Well, no.. because I only have my cell phone camera. I could have a relative snap a photo tomorrow while I am over for Christmas, but just as easy to draw the dot on myself:

Look under the H at the bottom. I'm pretty sure I've never seen this on until this past week or so. It's on constantly. That's the exact hole the light is in.

Glitter? No LED down there

use the front camera and hold your phone in a mirror to take the pic

I doubt it would be glitter. I doubt it has anything to do with the screen as even when the screen is off that light is on. I will try taking it in the mirror later, I'm just not sure if you'll see it as the holes are so small.

It would be easy enough to tell if it is a light or something stuck in the hole. Turn off the device. If it is still there, it's not a light. Or the lights in the house (at night), if it is there, it's either a light or glow in the dark glitter.

Faulty Display.

Hi,
I got the blue mi 9, I noticed a horizontal line across the middle and top and bottom of the screen when the screen is at low brightness in a dark environment.
I tested it with oled test, but is it clearly visible on dark grey backgrounds.
I returned my phone and wonder if this is a common issue?
The line on the middle of the screen is the most visible on the photo.

This is common. Dont worry. I have that too

When you pay 500€, you have the right to worry, it's should not have any defect like this.

Those lines are nothing to worry about like said earlier, it's inherent to how OLED panels are made for smartphones. Just a downside of the technology that OLED makers will not tell you about since that kind of situation is rare compared to most a phone usage

I have never seen those lines on Oled displays, and I had a lot of phones with a amoled or oled.

Search OLED Grey on Google image, you'll maybe understand. There's various degrees of the issue to the technology

People got too much hype on AMOLED and usually they don't talk much about its specific possible problem (LCD don't have).
The most prominent problem is due to the way AMOLED is powered which could lead to flashing screen, flickering screen .

Rectangle on my screen after removing the screen protector?

Hello everyone! This morning, I removed the screen protector that came with my replacement display which I have been using for months now because it had too many scratches. After removing it, nothing was out of the blue until I noticed a large patch of uneven pixels in the shape of a rectangle. Can someone explain to me why this happens and the best way to solve it?
I've read some others had luck by just leaving it alone and letting it disappear on its own (usually within a week or so). My screen does not show any signs of screen burn-in and only shows image retention when watching 16:9 content for long periods of time (~usually 40 minutes at most)

This is an image of my phone with the said rectangle.
App: OLED Tools
The rectangle is mostly noticeable when viewing dark images or gray backgrounds. It is also noticeable when looking at dark greens.

Mine did the same thing after removing my glass screen protector (Dome). Took a good 3 weeks to a month to fade enough that I can just ever ever so slightly notice it. I was really bummed out because the phone is flawless, and I wanted to change to a new protector.
But yeah, it faded away. I just looked again and I can't see it anymore.

I don't understand how the screen protector has anything to do with that or why it wasn't visible before. Disconcerting...

It's really very odd. First phone that has ever done something like that.

All I can say is always use OEM parts with these devices. That includes the adhesive strips.
I've repaired Canon pro cams before and having the exact parts makes the difference.
I hope it works out for you.

It was replaced by an authorized Samsung Service Center I know the parts are legit.
It's been a few weeks now, and it's not as noticeable anymore!
