Keyboard issue - T-Mobile Note 7 Questions & Answers

I have noticed that my keyboard misses quite a few inputs when typing. I click a letter, or the spacebar but sometimes it just don't register. Happened like 10 times while posting this. Any ideas? It didn't do this at first. I wonder if maybe it is theme related, or from shutting some stuff of with app disabler pro yesterday. All the app disabler stuff was undone, app deleted, and phone has been rebooted since. I may restore since I'm not quite done with setup yet anyway.

Screen protector?

Yes, iqShield. But I don't think that's the issue. I just restored the phone and have yet to have the issue. Still not sure if it was the theme, or the app disabler pro app, but it has been perfect so far.

Haha. I had the exact same issue with IQ Shield. I removed it and screen is working perfectly. I emailed them my displeasure. I suggest you do the same.

Well, I typed that entire previous post without issue. And I have since reinstalled the hacker theme, and now have had 2 missed keystrokes. It's clearly the theme. I'm a bit disappointed cause I like it, but will apparently have to either return to stock theme or keep shopping. Had like 7 missed keystrokes in this post. I am very satisfied with the screen protector. It installed flawlessly, and is sticking perfectly to the screens curved edges. Removing theme now...

Screen faded colors slowly come back......

I just got my Nexus 7 tablet today and installed an XO screen protector, by the book. It works fine for the longest time no issues. Then all of a sudden as the tablet was locked, I picked up and unlocked it and the screen was faded very badly. Like it was almost white as you can see with the 3 screenshots below that look faded. Then after about 10 minutes the colors come back.
I purchased from Sam's club with the warranty. Should I take it back for an exchange immediately? If I do this I lost the $20 XO Skin cover I now have installed on the device. Some may ask if the screen protector could be causing the fade. I guess it could be but why would it then come back later? Should I just power it down and wait for a day to see if its just an anomaly?
Both Good and Bad pictures attached below, should be fairly obvious which are good and which are bad.
Please HELP.
It's not your screen protector, I bought mine from the Google Play Store and has the same issue... Its very annoying :-S

Thanks for validating that its not the screen protector. I hope soon who knows these screens better than me can explain why its happening. I think I need to take it back and exchange.
Im trying to get a replacement from Google but lines are way too busy...
Contact XOSkins and see if you can exchange. They may honor the normal warranty exchange of you paying shipping both ways. You send the old one back, they send you a new one.

Really? On what basis do I ask for this? Do I just call and tell them my tablet went bad after I placed the skin on it?
Thanks a ton. BTW I don't know if you have the gray cover Google was selling with the N7 but it is AWESOME. Very sleek and snug to the device and feels solid for a cover. But no magnet
I'm having the same problem on my tablet. Really frustrating

Any luck?
I have been working on some other things and have now noticed that it takes about 5 minutes for the color to fully restore the color. When I first wake the tablet it is extremely cloudy and washed out to the point the colors are barely visible. Then slowly the colors return over about a 5 minute period.

They do have a warranty for scratched or torn screen protectors. I don't know if they'll cover it if you applied the skin and had to get a warranty replacement for the device. I would Peel it off right before you send the nexus back and check with XO.
Also, someone else found that this may be caused by some special function of the tegra 3 that causes movies to have truer color, yet washes out the screen when done with the video. It might be a software issue.

Guy guys it's not your tablet your wasting your time sending it back it's confirmed as a tegrachip problem there is a fix on this forum but you need root.Your find your replacements will be the same just have to try the fix or sit tight and wait for google to address the problem via ota update sometime soon.
I tried the "fix". Didn't work. Google didn't even try to get me to troubleshoot. I told them the issue with a pic attached and got the RMA instructions back. They know there's a problem and they are not trying to help anyone fix it.

I like the display but noticed a difference in color. I'm not sure if its because I'm comparing it to my one x. I want to try the "fix" but I'm holding off a little to see whether Google sends out an ota soon.

Umm mine does this.. Noticeably after playing the included transformers video, the screen will be faded for around 10 seconds.
I'm inclined to think it's a Tegra 3 problem. I remember reading about 6 months ago that the upcoming Tegra 3 chip was meant to dynamically adjust the backlight while playing videos, for power saving.
It's probably just this backlight adjustment system glitching up and not knowing what to do after a movie is exited. Doesn't really explain why it's happening for sleep wakes though
Edit:
Managed to find the exact article I read, was longer than 6 months ago lol.
The technology is called DIDIM and Jen-Hsun described how it works. “It’s the ability to per pixel, per frame, per scene to modulate the backlight so quickly that we over a long period of time, reduce the amount of backlight intensity and backlight energy by nearly half. We save as much power in the backlight without changing the visual fidelity at all to save, essentially, the entire power used by our chip.” NVIDIA says your eyes see the same color temperature, so you can’t tell the difference.

[Q] Z1 screen skipping

I noticed that every once in a while, the touchscreen on my Z1 "skips". i.e., if I draw a straight line with my finger, it will actually come out as a few short lines with a break between them.
I notice it most in the pattern unlock screen. I will draw my pattern, but it will connect 2 dots, jump, connect another 2 dots, jump again, until I get the pattern wrong error, and in the second attempt everything is fine.
Has anyone else experienced that?

This happens every once in a while for me while using Swype keyboard. I thought it was a Swype issue, but if you're having this then maybe it's the phone. Haven't noticed it anywhere else but haven't tested.

I have this problem too... I tested it with "touch test", and confirmed my suspicion...

I've run into something like this when trying to pull up the pie menu. Normally, sliding up onto the screen from below will trigger the pie menu to pop up (similar to the default "google now" trigger gesture). Every once in a while it'll instead register as a number of taps on whatever is already on that area of the screen (thus triggering some untended action or link most of the time). Of course it won't happen when I'm trying to reproduce it or running some kind of test, but when I least expect it, it happens again.
To verify this issue you can also try going to: Settings, About Phone (last entry on the bottom), Diagnostics, Test Device, Touchscreen.
If the recorded line really does skip you should contact your reseller/ Sony.
If it is just an occasional error it might be Software and not Hardware related. I have not had this problem yet, though.
Oh finally so it's not me alone. Great phone but this single problem lets it down. I'm suspecting a lot ppl have it and dont realise. Not everyone uses swype keyb or swype pattern unlock.
My suspicion is the sony screen protector fitted at factory. Tempted to rip it off.

Hmm strange my phone's been having fur over a day now. I removed the screen protector that came supplied in the box and found the problem still existed. Now I've got a real cheapy one on and swyping has been real good.

Hey guys I'm having the same problem, too! Which firmware version were you guys using? Because I think the newest firmware .257 has problems has touch I will try to revert to .524 and update you guys later
EDIT : Okay, I have just went back to 524 firmware to test and I can confirm that the problem still persists.
No problem here, maybe it's related to screen protector?

Hi, is your problem fixed? havent tried changing my screen guard.
Nope not really even though I was convinced at first. Problem comes and goes randomly.
My real issue is using Swype and it's driving me mad. As a workaround if I use my thumb it works fine. Must be the amount of surface contact while I swype.

So is hardware problem and will never be fixed?
For few weeks I never saw that problem on mine so I was not worry about it but today I tested few nice games and I realized that after a minute playing the game (Minimotor or HAWX) the virtual joystick stopping working. I have to retouch the joystick with my hand or take off my hand from the phone. All the time.
This is bad, so the Flagship Device is comming to be a Crap Device.

Z1S (tmo), swype problems

I did the diagnostics with the touch screen, and turned out ok, but sometimes I get swype issues that are similar to the touchscreen problem on older Z1's-- you can see the swype drag line break up and I get garbage (2-3 letter) words onto my text fields. If I change hand positions/put the phone down, and retry--swype works fine. Anyone else having similar issues?

agree! after flashing .136, problem is still there.
i have already highlight this issue to a sony rep at their forum few days ago. he have already escalated this issue.
Trying to hit the store tomorrow.... But I can't reproduce the error consistently, but I have gotten it to fail on the touchscreen test mainly on the lower half of the screen. And every time, if I reposition my hand, it fixes itself. I do notice more dust on the screen when it has problems.
Makes me think the screen is too sensitive in certain cases (dust, fingerprints,??) , or considering this problem started after I got a very, very fine scratch near the top of the screen....i.e. a scratch on the anti shatter film is creating some problem. I'm getting a zagg screen protector but it would be nice if Sony offered a replacement film.

Strange touch behavior

So I noticed something today... I had my s6 laying flat on my bed and I went to type a message in Hangouts. The keyboard was almost entirely unresponsive. So I picked up the phone and loaded a different app and the keyboard worked fine. I went back to Hangouts and it was indeed working fine again. I thought maybe it was just a hiccup and didn't give it any more thought. Until a short while later I was laying down again, this time with Chrome loaded. I went to enter a url and again the keyboard was largely unresponsive. I picked up the phone and the keyboard worked again. At this point I got this crazy idea that perhaps the s6 was smart enough to know I was "holding" my phone so I set it back down on my bed and with one hand tried to do a bunch of tasks like loading apps, typing, gestures from the Nova launcher home screen... all of these actions were either very flaky or simply did not respond at all.... until I used my other hand to touch the side of the phone. Presto! The screen was responsive again! Is this some sort of #touchgate??? Is anyone else experiencing this? Can anyone else reproduce it? I'm really at a loss here and I often enjoy being lazy and using my phone with one hand while it sits flat on its own. I've been testing this over and over to make certain I'm not just losing my mind. :/
Im having the same issue... i believe when u hold the phone in ur hand it completes the "circuit" and when ur not its like its not grounded or something.. also having the phone plugged resolved the issue too regardless if its in hand or laid down ...sorry dont know how else to explain it... and having a screen protector and case seemed to make it even worse... i had the same issue with my nexus 7 (2013) and having a screen proctor on it made the screen almost unusable.. i never found a fix to the nexus 7 i just didnt use a screen protector again

Hmm... that's possible I guess. I'll have to test that later tonight. I have a case on mine currently with no issues (Spigen Neo Hybrid Metal) but when I'm at home I normally have it off. But with or without Nova, it's weird that simply touching the side of the phone would make the screen function properly.
I know i thought it was strange as well but sure enough when someone told me about that on my nexus 7 that was the only way to get the screen to work properly was to touch the device while using it or have it plugged in... im not sure if its the same issue but it seems very similar to me on my galaxy s6

XP Automatically Resetting On Its Own

In the last few days I've noticed that when turning on my screen that I'm forced to put in my PIN, which it says it always does after a reboot/startup. But I didn't reboot the phone myself.
Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if this has anything to do with the Contacts app issue for int'l XP phones using a T-Mobile SIM card, or something else? It may just be that an app I have was malfunctioning (I did have issues with Chrome earlier right before this new auto reboot occurred), and that's what may have caused it.
Please let me know what you think. Also, PLEASE mention in your post which carrier you have, and also which region you got your phone from. For example, my int'l XP is from Hong Kong, so on the box there's a "ZH", which I guess is the Hong Kong version. You may also have an "HK" too. The Taiwan one says "TW" I believe.
Thanks!
Haven't experienced this issue. I'm using an x performance f8132 hk version.
I just experienced this for the first time yesterday. I updated Playstation Video, which now has the ability to download purchased content. I was downloading my movies to my SD card (35 of them) and the phone rebooted several times. It hasn't happened since. I'm on AT&T with a HK sourced device. I'm thinking this app update may have been causing my problem. I'll follow up in the next few days if I experience any other reboots.

Ok cool. Yeah you have the same one I do. It's marked "ZH & EN", but I believe ZH is still the Hong Kong version.

Hey Augie,
Hmm ok. You might be right!
I thought it was because I was using one of those apps that lets you enable "Night Vision" for easier nighttime reading. Some kind of issue with the "screen overlay". So I disabled "screen overlay" for that app and SO FAR it's been fine. You wouldn't happen to have an app like that would you (i.e. Blue Light Filter For Eye Care, Lux, etc)??
I didn't use Playstation app. Just disabled it actually, so I don't know if your problem and mine was the same? Mine would just reboot randomly, never repeatedly over and over at the same time.
Yeah mine is from Hong Kong too. Says ZH on the side, but I believe someone on here said that's still China.
Yes please do. I will too on Monday.
Thanks!!
No screen overlays here. I've used the phone for all kinds of things today without replicating the problem. I'm guessing a certain amount of non-response time from something running triggers a reset. I'll report if it reoccurs.

Augie,
Ok. That's good. I had also cleared not all the caches for all my apps but the "preferences", which is a setting in Apps menu in Settings. Then I rebooted. Not sure if that helped but I think for me it was the Screen Overlay issue. But it COULD'VE also been Playstation for all I know? Then again, this had been happening for last 3-5 days, so if Playstation app update just came in yesterday, then I doubt it was that.
Thanks! Please do. I will too on Monday.
I have not experienced random reboots yet. They could happen from battery saving apps like 360 though

I uninstalled 360 from my phone several days ago as even though it worked on the Z5 and Z3 (and initially it SEEMED to work on my 1st XP), I can see it no longer is working on the XP, so it's not that.
Since clearing all the preferences on all the apps and also disabling the screen overlay on my one "night vision" app, the problem has so far not reoccurred any more (knock on wood!). I am trying out a different app very similar to 360 though on my phone called Hibernation Manager. I'm going to test it tonight/overnight to see how it does, and will report here tomorrow. I'm not holding my breath, but can't hurt to try it. Earlier today I gave it a good 2 hours and the percentage stayed the same during that time (100%), so there's potential I guess.
Update: Forget what I said above. See this updated post instead.

Yeah Hibernation Master didn't work either. Greenify says it will only work automatically if I remove my fingerprint security and use "pull-up gesture" to unlock the phone. No thanks. lol Not sure what other good apps are out there that would work?
It's now been 2 days since I cleared the preferences of all my apps and turned off that Screen Overlay on that "night vision" app I had, and SO FAR (again knock on wood lol) it's been working fine. If by Monday it's still fine, I will consider this case (and thread) closed. lol

Yeah Hibernation Master didn't work either. Greenify says it will only work automatically if I remove my fingerprint security and use "pull-up gesture" to unlock the phone. No thanks. lol Not sure what other good apps are out there that would work?

I would, but new Stamina Mode is completely non-customizable. Old SM would let you set it up so it only works when the screen is off. But this new one is "all or none". No thanks. Don't want my phone slowing down, even to save battery life. Then I might as well have bought the XA. lol

Great.......so it restarted again about 20 minutes ago. I go to unlock screen and it says PIN required after startup. I had NOT restarted it since this morning.
What do you guys think? I was thinking about e-mailing the Amazon seller (NGP) and seeing if they have any Taiwanese models (TW) available. Was thinking maybe this had something to do with the stupid T-Mobile SIM stock Contacts app issue.

You're saying it went to the gray screen where you enter pin on phone start up?

The lock screen is after start up. You're talking about the gray screen before the xperia boot logo?
