[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.

[REVIEW] Gadgetshieldz screen protector for the Note II

I had been searching for a screen protector that covers even the curved edges of the Note II screen, offers best clarity and best protection. Heard a lot about gadgetshieldz being very good .Having personally used it for my brother’s iPhone 4s I thought that I’d give it another try. And now that I have installed it, I can vouch for the fact that indeed it’s a great protector to have for the Note II. I couldn't find a review of gadgetshieldz for the Note II. Thought I should post a short review with a few pictures.
Okay, so first of all living in India things like an SGP case is really hard to come by or really expensive. I got to say that gadgetshieldz is really by far the best and cheapest option that offers this kind of protection. Another thing being gadgetshieldz operates in India and offers free home delivery. The thing arrived pretty quick too, in about 2 days. For all the Indian members interested in purchasing this you can head over to this page.International users can head over to www.gadgetshieldz.com. You get 3 options basically: 1) Screen Protection 2)Body Protection 3)Maximum Protection. A thing with the Note II is that after some use, the silver bezel starts to wear out. So I obviously went in for the maximum protection.
I should warn you though that this is a WET install. A very cool thing about this is that has a perfect cutout for the proximity, light sensor, front cam, speaker grill & the home button. All the cuts are precise. It also comes in some pretty neat packaging which gives it sort of premium and high quality feel. All the instructions of application are given pretty well, so there shouldn't be a problem in the application. On application if there are any bubbles formed, you can flatten them out with a credit card or something of the sort. As for the small bubbles, they should disappear with time. The front and back side were pretty easy to install. The sides being curved were a pain in the A$$ though.
The screen protector looks fabulous on both, the screen and the body. The clarity is awesome and does not compromise the display. In fact it's very hard to notice that there is a screen protector on.With the protection on the sides and back, you can say goodbye to any more scratches.
Please hit the Thanks button if you liked the review.

Thanks mate! I really like the cut of this sp and I don't mind a wet install.

Check your black model for air bubbles under the front panel

Just returned my SGS5 due to an air bubble or something under the front panel.
I've seen a lot of black SGS5 with this issue on one of the corners or around the home button. It is visible with sunlight or under a lamp. You need to pass your fingers around the front panel and then they will appear.
Check these pictures I took to see what I mean:

On the white model it can't be seen. Only on black ones.
Check to see if you have it.

Mines fine....had it since release

That happened to my friend but only after he dropped it, luckily on the carpet. Very cheap work from Samsung on a flag ship.
And it's really annoying... any way to fix it?

I had that develop - had the phone since launch day and the bubble developed 2 weeks ago. I took it into Samsung repair Centre and they replaced the screen within the day.

Disappointing to see such quality issues on their flagship.
Checked mine, looking fine so far, have it since launch.

It's mostly noticeable on the black model and in daylight at certain angles.
I've also seen it around the home button.
I've checked several black ones with this issue on stores.

None of them have the tempered glass screen protectors do they? I would hate to see everyone freaking out because their screen protector isn't lined up exactly how it should and creating the same problem.
I can speak from experience. Not that I thought my screen was messed up, but from how there is 0% tolerance with some of the tempered glass screen protectors and they need to be lined up perfectly or else around the corners they will have air bubbles exactly as everyone here shows.

Yes. Mine too, but the glass protection has been changed from 2 monhs ago. There is no scratch on it and I don't use cover

It's a really weird issue.
A guy above said he's was fine and the bubble appeared 2 weeks ago.
Is this something that can appear at a later time?
I think this is due to the waterproof protection.

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!

New S20 FE possible faulty

Hi All,
I bought a new S20 FE 5G from Amazon Germany, the phone was a bit dusty directly from the box and it was on ONE UI 3.1 by default, also its screen protector with not the one which I saw in most of the unboxing, it was a screen protector without a circle in the middle for the fingerprint.
What makes me feel more worried that I was able to pass a paper between the phone back cover and the aluminium frame as you could see in the picture, so I got worried that the phone is not water-resistant!
Please, would you advise me if you have faced or you have the same, is what I have is normal or a faulty, I will highly appreciate your advice?
Many thanks,
Cheers.

I just tried with the corner of a post-it-note, I was able to poke the corner in about half way up the side of the phone. my phone was definitely new and direct from Samsung.
did you buy yours as a refurbished device because it should not be on 3.1 unless it's the 4G Snapdragon version ?
if you were expecting a brand new phone you haven't been given one and should complain / return it.

I bought it as new and I have confirmed from Samsung that the phone is new and original, do you think the gap between the back cover and the aluminium frame is a normal thing?

I would've said no before reading this post and getting curious. depends if you can get paper passed where water resistant gasket / adhesive seal should be. if you can push in a lot more than 3 or 4mm I'd be concerned.

The factory screen protector has a cutout for the camera, but it never had a cutout for the optical fingerprint reader Where did you get that idea?

Fact is, in short. A good Screen Protector does not have a "Hole" in it, for the Finger print reader.
Got mine on Amazon, USA. Back in Jan'21
