this make no sense,note 4 had it and note 8 doesnt,im from nyc,and its cold im on gloves and this feature didnt need to be taken out
1000 usd phone and doesn't have that feature.smh
can a op and developer make a zip or some way to get it on the note 8?
different type of touch sensor. note4 was pressure sensitive i believe(i COULD be wrong here). N8 isnt.
The note 8 is capacitive not resistive. And I would certainly hope so for $1000
Just buy gloves with screen touch fingertips

So if note 8 isn't pressure sensitive then how does the press harder on home onscreen button work ?
I was under the impression that it was pressure sensitive.

You are right. My wording was wrong. As another user pointed out. resistive vs capacative
and used to be able to use a pencil on screen....cmon Samsung

There is a pressure sensor only where the home button used to be. Not the entire screen. The touch tech is still capacitive.

You know this phone has its own pen right... And im surprised people are unaware of why capacitive is better than resistive. I would be pissed if i bought this device and it had antiquated tech such as a resistive touch screen. If you dont understand why its antiquated, then google it.

Exactly, I was using mine with the little touch sensitive gloves a week or so ago. The setting is gone, because I think it just picks them up automatically. But you have to use the specific gloves (I am not sure honestly what makes them different).

What exactly is hard to understand about capacitive technology? It has nothing to do with pressure. Therefore there is no function to enable. I am surprised that anybody nowadays would buy a flagship and think they even still use resistive. If you didnt understand the tech you where buying, thats your own problem. You cant fault Samsung.

Yeah the folks that think the screen is resistive are talking out the side of their necks.
The pressure sensitivity of the home button is localized to that location. If you don't believe it check the diagnostic test screen, it has a pressure test and the only part of the screen where it registers is the home button.
The only other pressure is from the pen to the Wacom digitizer..

Well, I think that the OP is talking about a feature that past galaxy notes had, there was a setting to increase screen sensitivity for very cold or wet situations, but now, I think that the tech evolved in a way that such setting is unnecesary now
I think the reason why they removed it is not perfect. You know samsung... If they can't perfect it then they just remove it. The feature is a part of the floating touch technology of capacitive touch screens. But the problem is it fails most of the time when used.

Many times my phone doesn't wake up when I pick it up. My old moto x was almost too sensitive at times... Which I prefer at this point.
Any suggestions?
Are you using a screen protector? Mine became 10 times more reliable when I binned my glass screen protector.

I understand that the motox uses an array of proximity sensors.
The Nexus 6 uses its accelerometer. I.e., it detects actual motion rather than presence.
Completely agree. A lot of times when I remove my phone from my pocket, ambient display does not wake my screen.

Like i said it is tight i modified mine the side of the vr that has the usb. The claml i cut the bottom of that clamp off. When u put ure g4 in without the back on the front is still a little tight. If u carefully cut that piece of its a lot better. Also do not damage the usb conector it hold the phone in too tried it without the connector in it also and the phone is really loose

I put some up on the g4 general thread if u need more i can but its pretty straight foward of coarse be careful if u dont. Notch the usb clamp side its really tight. And i did mine i didnt want to crack my screen or damage the port.
I did modifie mine. I got mine for 30 buck US. So i wasnt scared to do a cut
I tried my G4 with oneplus loop VR. But i noticed a fine mesh over the screen even on 1080p videos. Then i started noticing the mesh even without VR more so on the white background. It is also visible when screen is off and light is shone on it at certain angle. There is some fine mesh like matrix on screen ruining the whole experience of VR. Anyone else experience the same?

It kills the whole point of quad hd display, very severe flaw. I don't what the engineers at LG were thinking!!
I try not to think about whats up with lg. The g4 and looks like the g5 are both going to be complete failures. It makes me pretty mad 600 bucks for a phone and its about a piece of junk
Did you turn off "game optimizer" in "battery and power saving" ?
I believe that setting drops the resolution to 1080p when running games which will cause pixellation in VR.
I haven't used a Gear VR but i have used other VR Headsets.

Hello all.
I've looked through as many threads as I can on this, but I don't see any answers to the specific issue I have regarding my S Pen.
Basically, my pen is so darned sensitive that when I print and lift up the pen to go to the next letter, it leaves a trailing mark. I'm no longer touching the screen, but it is still writing. It looks awful. I'm trying to sign some documents and it looks more like a Kindergartner has been trying to sign something than an adult.
I have changed the nib out with two different tips (gray and white) to no avail.
Any help or tips would be very appreciated. Thanks!
there could be several solutions
1) try to write with another stylus ,your stylus could be defected
2) see if the nib of stylus is loose, try to fix it
3) try removing the nib of stylus (if its possible) , and then try bringing the pen near the screen & see what happens
4) and finally restart the mobile

Very nice of you to reply. I should have stated that this has been going on for a while, so I've restarted many times. I've also changed out the nibs with two different tips and that hasn't worked. Appreciate your help!

Unfortunately, no. I don't have another stylus. I went into the TMobile store to see if I could use their display model's stylus. Believe it or not, they didn't have one in the store! They remove them from all the units since they get stolen so much. CRAZY!
I have this same problem. I've tried the above, settings are fine and I've tried 3 other pens and they work fine. It's just mine. I'm super irritated that there's no solution. I can't write with this thing.
Oddly enough.
I've had my Note 5 since the first few weeks it hit the shelf and I've been through a bunch of them and it has done that to me. I don't recommend doing this but if you throw the pen on the clicker side on to your carpet that has stopped the over sensitive clicking. It sounds worse then it is but if you do it a few times like I have you it only takes one throw oddly enough someone has let me know about it. But if you get a new one get a OEM one off amazon for $20 cause you get what you paid for and tried the cheap ones and just threw them in the garbage where they should have been shipped to in the first place. Haha
My note 7 always worked when I was wearing my prescription sunglasses but not at all with my note 8. whats up with this?
Doesn't work with my regular glasses either...I think it's due to the coatings, anti-glare, computer, etc...its a bummer.
I think there's a software glitch or something. I rescanned my irisis and it was unlocking fine with my regular glasses on... But as soon as I turned on the setting where you don't have to swipe the screen for it to scan your eyes well it quit detecting my eyes with glasses on.
Mine works fine through seeing glasses, contacts, polarized shades.
Try setting your iris unlock up in the dark.

Glare is actually what prevents it from working with glasses. Anti-glare would essentially be a better situation over not having it

Check the infra-red LED on the front.
Turn lights off, get another phone with a camera, start camera, point camera at top of Note 8, see if there is a blue (infra-red light) from the top of the phone. Look through the other phones screen obviously.
Wait, so let me get this straight.....
You're trying to do something you're not supposed to be able to do, or are advised not to do, and wondering if something is wrong with your phone because it actually isn't doing It? ?

anyone got clear view case.......
I'm trying to figure out where the magnets are placed and the chip..
if you feel the case material you can feel the magnets and where the chip is
Reason is i bought note 20 clear view instead of note20 ultra case. so i was going to put sensors in my present case so it switch off when i close
picture would be helpful
there should be an indentation of where the magnet is from what I remember. It's really thin on the bottom left of the flap. I believe all versions since they introduced that line.

The chip is NFC. It'll tell the phone that you are using that particular case and give you a notification to download themes based on the color of the case. It should be close enough to rear but not block/interfere the NFC antenna after the initial read.
Try and turn on your NFC and tap it.

if you have that case could you possibly check the case for those sensors on the back portion...a magnet should pick-up 2 of them that should get me most of what i want
