[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.

[Q] Tiny hole on the back

I was looking at my phone and was wondering what that hole in the back was?

It's a microphone.
Sent from my Nexus 6

Android is run by tiny little Android mice inside the phone - this is an air hole for them to breathe through.
No air = No Android, so make sure not to block this hole under any circumstances (including with a case).

As strange as it sounds this is actually the correct answer. Mice are extremely efficient air to energy conversion ecosystems, and they are used primarily to provide enough power to the extra pixels of the QHD display in the Nexus 6. DO NOT COVER THE HOLE.

Is this the only microphone on this device?(one for noise canceling?) Or is there another one somewhere else, maybe in the lower speaker grille or something?

There's another one by the camera

There are 3 microphones

Truth is in BOLD.
Possibly a 3rd by the camera as others have stated (I can't comment since I haven't verified).

Note 5 camera?

Has anyone pulled the .apk and gotten it to work? I just want manual shutter. Picked up the S6a just for battery, almost got the N5 just for manual mode.

I could have sworn the S6 allowed for a "pro" more controlled experience. Is Manual exposure not anywhere; I recently just got my S6 back from repair so I haven't had much hands on use. I'll go ahead and check myself, but I could have sworn that it was advertised.
Also, I think this goes along more in the Help/Q&A section, but I could always be wrong

Exposure you are correct, I'm referring to shutter. You can have up to a 10 second shutter on the N5 which would be badass.
When I was posting on the Q&A, it said that only answers could be posted... I wouldn't mind a discussion also.

Is exposure different from shutter?

Yep... I might want a long shutter with a small aperture vs short shutter with a wide open aperture, the exposure could end up being very similar but very different effects.

Ah! I'm not an avid photographer frankly (I'm sure it will show). I did indeed look around, and yeah you're right no noticeable shutter control. I'll hang around the N5's section. From my memory, someone was able to port N5's functions over to the S6 over here on XDA or over at Reddit. For the apk though, we would need a rooted N5 or OTA file to extract it from likely. If they share similar API's, getting it to work shouldn't be impossible.
I supposed the timer is something entirely different from what you want. I just noticed it and saw the option to set for 10 seconds, but thought I'd ask.

These are a couple examples of what can be done with REALLY long shutter:

Fantastic looking! Looks like there was a system dump for the N5. I could look into extracting what I need from that, but haven't looked into it in detail - yet. Will get to it later when the day settles down.

Does anyone use a webcam cover? [UPDATE 2018/01/25]: Found one!

Hey there! I was wondering if anyone uses webcam covers on their XZ1C. Since the front camera on this phone is incredibly wide, I was wondering if anyone out there has one that manages to not show up in the wide angle selfie shots.
I like the look of this one - Amazon link - as it lists that it has a 4.6mm hole, which I believe should clear the front camera entirely. I'll order this and report back on my findings if anyone else is curious.
Otherwise, if you use one already and it works, please reply and let me know!
Thanks!

Hello, I'm here to update this. I bought what was in the amazon link, and the cover is just barely not big enough to cover the super wide angle of the front facing camera. As best as I could get it, the image had vignetting in the extreme corners. A not-so-great test image can be found here.
This would work on just about any other camera, as the XZ1C has the widest front camera I've ever seen.
The circle on this cover is 4.6mm in diameter. We would need something more around 5-5.2mm. If anyone can find one, please share!
All that being said, these things are absolutely tiny and razor thin...they'd be great on any other phone! I recommend it for other devices.
Thank you!
Edit: I'm going to try one of these. The internal diameter is 6mm, so it should clear with no problems. The entire thing is just under 22mm long, so it should fit on the glass without hanging off the side. I'll get back with results once I receive this one.
Edit Edit: I got in this exact one up above, the 6mm internal and 22mm long ones. It works perfectly, although right now it still slides around on the screen a bit. I hope it'll adhere better with a bit more time than a few minutes. It fits perfectly around the camera and around the notification light. Most importantly, NO vignetting! I'll post pics of it below.

Good day.
Nice findings!
As i am searching for a way to protect the back camera lens, your post called my attention.
Have you tried any of those in the back camera?
As the back camera has a bump, i don't know if any of those works.
Thank you.

White balance on selfie camera

The stock app on my S10e does not appear to have a white balance option for the front facing camera, and it doesn't automatically choose it correctly. GCam always creates superior results.
I can't imagine Samsung app devs would let their app be so terrible with selfies. Does anyone else have the same experience? Is there a feedback channel we can tell them?

Like I said on another thread why do you guys feel the need to have and use a front facing camera to take pics of yourself. I'm trying to understand is it a narsasiscic thing going on in this day and age or what?do people fancy themselves that much? not talking about you op or anyome here in particular so no disrespect intended. Just want to understand this need for front facing cameras. I love the s10 plus but the ugly 2 cameras on the front are stopping me from enjoying.and I'm not in love with myself to take selfies and admire my self all day.so the front camera ruins the phone for me a bit

People have always been taking pictures of others, and some have noticed that the cameraman has been missing for centuries.
Now we have a tool in our pockets to take a picture of everyone at once, in an instant. The S10 has a wider lens for even more people.
Every game night, I take a selfie with everyone using the GCam app in portrait mode. When I have a special moment with my wife, its easy to get a photo of us together. It's kind of ridiculous looking back at photos from years ago to know I was a participant, but no where to be seen, not a single photo of me interacting with others.
I took advantage of a sale at Office Depot for canvas prints, and made a collage of a year's worth of selfies:
