Title. They also don't illuminate while tilted to the right. I'm running an unrooted phone. I suspect this may be a hardware issue, but does anyone have any ideas on ways of solving it?
the only way i can think of is by doing a factory reset...
If it keeps doing it, then you know its a hardware problem.. If that's the case, then try calling verizon for a replacement
Do you mean they don't rotate? If so, that's normal. They only rotate to the left.
The soft keys are actually a mirrored etch and if you look at them from the left side you'll see the two overlap each other.

I hope ur not turning the phone off while testing this function. .. The screen had to be locked. ..
Anyway. .. You have to swipe your hand over the light sensor while screen is off

Place the phone on flat surface after locking it.
Now swipe your hand over your phone screen from top to bottom without touching the screen.

Just hover your hands over the light sensor, but you have to do it kind of slowly and also it response at least 1s after you have hovered your hand over your phone. It's not really that useful of a function, more of a gimmick.
I do want to ask, do these motion functions really drain the battery a lot? As this means the motion sensor is always on.

Its a cr*p feature -- or at least the implementation is. You need to sort of hover or cup your hand over the sensors and move it away slowly. Then sometimes it 'works', which means if you do it right about a second or two later the screen slowly wakes up and shows some info. All this takes 4-5 seconds, in which time you could have quickly switched the screen on and off anyways in lesser time.
Gimmick, as someone has pointed out above.
Not only your hand, but anything that cover the light sensor.
Try to calibrate the gyroscope

Hi, this is my first post here.
Please try to calibrate your gyroscope
To do this go to Advance settings and calibrate it.
I have question too about this QUICK glance (but actually slow glance)
I like this to use to check the time specially during night.
But it is really not quick when I use mine and my friend sister told me that hers is fast.
Does somebody know how to do it make it fast?
kind of a useless feature IMO. doesn't display much in the quick glance screen. much easier to just press the home key.
Yeah, ur right the home button is faster. But I dont believe this is crap feature, it depends in situation. In my side I use this glance feature during night and wake up to check the time not hurting the eye for glare. And in theater also you can use this to check the time, it is really respectfull if you try not to distract others inside the theater.

I think it's useful for checking the time at night.
I just quickly pass my hand over the front and a second later time is illuminated for a few seconds
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
guys, it works fine. just hover your hand in front of the sensor just in and out just like that all in less than1 second for me. it works everytime perfectly. very convenient. can someone confirm if this drains massive amounts of battery or negligible.
After trying the feature several times -- during which it did not work -- I then went in and did the gyroscope calibration. Then went back in, turned Motion on, and turned Quick Glance on. Now it works.
It was working for me up until last week, now my light sensor and or my proximity sensor seem to have stopped working all together. I am unable to get it to work at all. Is there any way to increase the light sensor sensitivity?
Works fine here.

It works just fine, but my problem is I like to have a screen timeout of 10 minutes, and manually turn my phone off when I want. Half the time I would click it off and set it down, it would immediately wake back up because my hand was over/near the sensor as I set it down.
Works perfect here whatever screen timeout I have set.
Remember that the phone had to be perfectly still and possibly on a level surface for it to work.
Regarding using battery I've read that the n2 has a slower processor dedicated to the motion features do doesn't fire up the main processor when using these features.

This feature is ok, but it's something a lot of people can live without. It'd be more impressive for us if Samsung extended this to other controls in their main apps, such as allowing this gesture when you receive a call. Wave your hand over the phone and it'll automatically pick up the call in speakphone mode. The Pantech Sky Vega had this feature when it launched last year and something like this is super useful if you're working with your hands (getting them dirty).

It works for me to.
It also works for the flip cover. So when I just open the cover the glance appears then swipe the screen to unlock..no hard buttons to push
The question though.
I how can we tell if it does drain the battery.?

I got the SGSN2 two days back, and the gesture way of taking screenshot seeing litle awkard. I tried waving my palm over the screen and sensor and it didnt capture. Went to the shop from where I got and they said to touch the screen and swipe. I did and lots of apps gets opened. Sometimes, my screen gets captured. I felt captuing from pressing Power + Home is good and using S Pen and taking screenshot. Anyone got any idea how to taking screenshot by waving of hand as shown in video witih ease?
I've had no issue with it. As long as you use the side of your hand, lay it flat on the screen, and swipe it works every time just fine. Are you using your whole palm?

+1, turn your hand on the side. Don't use your palm. Put it in the middle and swipe left or right. Done.
Oh and its not nesessary to use red letters. We can read white just fine.
It actually burns my eyes to read it in red....
I have lower screen sensitivity in the bottom right corner where the letter L is and the Enter is. Sometimes it will take tree taps to get the letter l to show up on the screen while for everything else it works with barely touching it. Do you guys have this as well? Some people have reported this as well.
The weird thing is that when drawing, that part of the screen works just fine with finger or the s pen, its only noticeable when pressing...
Does anyone know how to calibrate the screen? It was in the setting before but now i can't find it.
I have noticed the same

I think the screen protector is to blame !

Anyone else want to remove their screen protector?

Yeah, same with mine, the letter "K" on my screen.
I think it's a defect.
Removing the screen protector obviously makes it MORE sensitive, but I still think it is a defect and had nothing to do with the screen protectors...

I also had that same problem. When i would continuously tap the L button it would just stop responding but if i go the S pen out and started to tap it with the pen it would work fine. I took it to the shop I got if from and they replaced it with one where the S pen wouldnt work properly on the bottom right side of the screen so they replaced it yet again and now i have a phone that is fine all except the notification LED is not as bright as all other note 2's i compare it with........Must say i love the phone but Samsung NEED to be more consistent with their quality control of their phones
Me too. My device different is when i swipe in portrait keyboard swipe works fine in my l and enter. Samsung must solve.
Hi guys. Same problem here.
I've noticed a lack of responsiveness on the right bottom part of the Capacitive screen on my Note II. This happes randomly when I tap on the "Menu" icon or when texting on the "Enter", "L" or "Delete" button. As said, you tap but the Note doesn't recognize the touch. It's a mess specially when writting.
Is it then a hard or soft problem? Shall it be solved with any future update or I should go and return my Note?
Did u try any other keyboard. Its the software bug.

I was having trouble with my face turning speakerphone on or hanging up the call.
Turns out the Rezound proximity sensor adjustment app works on the HTC One as well. Made the sensor turn the screen off from further away and all problems solved.

Did you try my settings? Is the app showing the NEAR/FAR toggle change from farther away? The only way I see you holding it wrong is if the sensor is looking past your head completely. Sensor is in the top left corner of the phone.
I've always had the problem where when I'm done with a call and pull the phone away from my face, the screen doesn't come back on. Happens 99% of the time.
