S pen accuracy

Hey, I recently bought my note and I was playing around with the photo editor and noticed that when I use the s pen, I can tell that where the pen is touching and where dot is showing up is not at all accurate. It ends up being approx 2mm right of where the pen touches.
Is there a way to calibrate the pen? Is anyone noticing this on their note?

Yes, this question has already been asked a thousand times and no, there is no way of calibrating so far, sorry.

I guess we have to wait for the pen sdk then? Thanks for the reply btw. An admin can delete this thread if anything.

I dont have a note but if you turn off and on rotation and turn the phone a few times or something like that it should fix it.

The Chin Piece is Too Big

Not only is this a huge phone because it has a huge screen, Google decided to make the chin part of the phone bigger than it should be. I guess its to make the phone even to hold when you hold it horizontally? Anyway, I thought the advantage of moving the navigation buttons onto the screen was so that you didn't have to make room for buttons, but the chin bezel is big enough for buttons. Actually... now that I think about it, having a tiny chin area would look weird.
If the screen was 4.5" and the bezel was put to use, this would've been a perfect size for me!
Nevertheless, I will be getting this phone because my HD7 dies after sending a few texts.

Well understand that it was adapted from the LG Optimus G, so they probably just didn't rearrange the internals enough to get rid of the "chin". But yes, it is rather silly to get rid of physical buttons to save space, yet not actually remove the wasted space

Why..... Why did u need to make this thread for this...

Yeah personally I prefer it to be like this and have that "wasted" screen real estate because I prefer a smaller phone, so its like a 4.5" phone with the ability to display 720p in 4.7" people complain so much!

Huge screen? Please, I came from a Galaxy Note. And I loved the size of that thing.

Why would you give up such a nice screen for nexus?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

It's possible Google/LG could've found a way to remove the "chin" on the device. What would you have been willing to give up for that, though? Would you have shrunken the battery? Would you have made the phone thicker? I'm just not sure I would want to sacrifice any of the phone's features over a chin that ultimately balances the phone's design out anyway.

And then The Chin leaves, and Conan takes its place. But all the sudden The Chin wants to come back and Conan can't be on tv for a while. Is that really what you want?

Why would it? How would it be any different from another phone that has it's capacitive buttons there?

dont forget, the led notification light is there. so the big chin is not totally useless

I think is very useful to hold the phone when having a video chat for example, I use Skype a lot and was very annoying on the s3 where was really easy to press accidentally the buttons...

[Q] Faulty screen : squares and dots on it (with photos)

Hi guys,
Yesterday I bought a Nexus 32gb in Fnac, and I realized that with the screen off the light of a close reading lamp is reflected in it and because of this I can see a dotted line and "squares" in the screen (I suppose it's the tactile panel)
The weirdest thing is after seeing the dotted line with the screen off, when I turn it on with the highest bright and a white background I keep on seeing those points
Would you be so kind as to check this?
Thanks for all.

My one x and asus transformer have them too.

I'm very grateful for your answer.
Do you still see them in the same place when you turn the screen on for a few seconds and put a white background in it?

The squares are in an obvious pattern. There is no way that could be a bad screen. All HP touchpad had it.

Ok, but I dont think it's normal that I can see the points with screen on (with background white)

I see this with the Kindle Fire but not with the Nexus 7.
Sent from my Nexus 7

I've noticed this pattern on my Nexus 7 as well, but only when the screen is off and hit by a bright light at just the right angle. And even then, I have to really look for it.
I've never been able to notice it while the screen was turned on though.

guys....

ah no, i can only see them when the screen in off and i am outside with bright sunlight on the front face... no chance of seeing them on white background here. :good:

It is normal. Stop being paranoid and just accept what people are telling you. It is normal to see that pattern while the screen is on if you have a bright background.
Edit: If people say they cant see them they are not looking for it correctly. All capacative screen has em'. True story

[Q] does anyone know how auto sleep works?

It's screen time out if you set it for 1 minute the screen will go of in a minute

I know what screen time out is I'm asking about the auto sleep setting within it. It's the first phone I've seen with auto sleep. Not counting touchwiz smartstay. I'm wondering how it takes effect.

I saw someone ask this before, and someone answered it works off the G-sensor, based on their testing. So keep the phone moving, or not on a flat surface, and it stays on longer. If you keep moving the phone, it shouldn't shut off. Place it on a flat horizontal surface, and notice the light dim almost instantly.

I asked the same question a while ago and the answer I ended up with was that
"It uses the gyroscopes to determine if the phone is being held vertical, or laying down horizontal. If it's laying down, the time out should be 15 seconds. If in a vertical position, it should be a minute."

Thanks for the response guys.

So this means its a better option than Galaxy's smart stay ?

Always on Display

I have noticed the Note 7 always on is WAYYY brighter than the S7 Edge always on.
Anyway to change that?
What about screen burn in, do we think there will be a problem?

I had the same question. I don't want to turn it off but it's really bright.
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk

Same here way too bright. I turned it off until there is a fix. Wish we could adjust it to personal preferences.

there's a 70mb international patch that samsung has released with a few bug fixes and improvements. the screen brightness might be part of the improvements. wont know til tmobile decides to push the patch to us. but as far as burn in goes i wouldnt worry about that. if you notice the always on screen moves position up and down your screen. this prevents burn in.

Unless you're using a S View cover, mine doesn't move (not that I've noticed anyway) ... Was a little concerned myself. I have an LG OLED display, the 65" EF9500, I know it's not as prone to burn in as compared to plasma, but the TV will run a screen clean cycle when powered down after every 10 hours of use, or there about... Not sure if the Note does anything behind the scenes to prevent or deal with possible IR ..
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk

Mine DOES NOT move either.
Also there was an update today in the Galaxy Apps for the always on display. From what I can tell not much of a change

I believe the movement is 1 pixel every 10 minutes, random jump every 60 minutes. Is that not the case anymore?

it does move. and you're probably right about the time of the movement. the ppl that dont see it move are probably expecting it to move within 30s of them looking at it. it takes some time for it to move. over the past 2 hours mine was at the bottom of my screen it is now in the middle of my screen.

No you won't face an issue with screen burn in! That's an lcd screen issue with the pixels! You won't see that issue on your QHD display!

Lol wut? You got that backward. AMOLED *DOES* get burn in. LCD only occasionally suffers from image retention but that's temporary.
