My S-Pen hovers slightly off the center of the point. when writing, its offset by different values based on where it is on the screen, very reminicent to a wacom digitizer in a convertible thats not calibrated. I've searched and searched, and apparently there isn't a real calibration utility for the note 2. Does anyone else have this issue, and is there a fix, even if it requires manually tweaking calibration coordinates in a conf file like the early linux wacom days? The pen isn't unusable for writing, but its all but useless for some design work. If anyone has an interim solution other than trying to swap the unit out, Im all ears.
Thanks,
I don't know to what degree you are talking about, but I know that the "which hand is dominant" option under s pen settings off sets it by a tiny bit. try switching this, maybe you'll see it switch sides, maybe it will fix your problem (although the amount by which it moves would make me think you have eagle vision if you were able to get bothered by it)

Lol at eagle eyes. I do have great vision . Its set for right handed but its offset like its for a lefty. I've tried adjusting the setting in the hope it may reset itself to no avail. Its off by about a half cm to the right and down in the worst locations maybe a mm in the best.

There is a thread regarding a fix for this. I havent had to do it personally, but it involves taking off the s-pen button cover and adjusting small screws for sensitivity and "alignment"
I will try and search it and post it.

YES, I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. When I opened up the S-Note app for the first time to practice on elegant penmanship on this device (Galaxy Note 2) I started to write EVERYWHERE on the screen, in small font and without zooming in on the screen. I noticed that at the lower-right-hand-corner of the screen there is a problem. Where the stylus nib touches on the screen is NOT where I see the digital ink produced on my screen. The digital ink is 'considerably' off to the right. Even better, if you open up the S-Note and launch the MEMO app - the one with the SQUARE grids, this is an even better way to test this out, as you can ATTEMPT to trace over those vertical and horizontal lines as perfectly as you can. I can guarantee to reproduce this by attempting to trace over the lines on the lower right-hand-corner of my screen and where my stylus nib touches is NOT where the digital ink is produced. So how did I discover this? I discovered this by writing normally as I normally would - naturally - on the screen and when I got to the lower right-hand corner my letters came out extremely sloppy and way off aligned.
I called my cellular carrier's tier 2 tech support and I had them on the phone as I tried to walk him through the process on a Note 2 he had there. He said what he saw was so menial or "minoot" that he could barely notice it by a millimeter. I challenged that I wasn't trying to debate how "acceptable" this may seem to some people. I challenged that it's an identifiable technical and physical glitch none-the-less, regardless how noticeable to some or not. I THEN went into a U.S. Cellular store, looked at TWO other Note 2's, tried MY stylus on THEIR demo phones, tried THEIR stylus on THEIR demo phones, tried THEIR stylus on MY personal phone and ALL THE RESULTS WERE IDENTICAL as my initial complaint......ON THREE DIFFERENT HANDSETS WITH TWO DIFFERENT STYLUSES!
So what gives, man???
As for the previous post about taking off the S-Pen button cover and making adjustment, I think you were talking about this here:
h*t*t*p*-colon-fowardslash-fowardslash-smartphones.wonderhowto.com/how-to/adjust-your-samsung-galaxy-notes-s-pen-sensitivity-for-better-touch-response-0140084/[/url]
Anyway, so guess what I'm gonna do today? Visit random stores from T-Mobile, Sprint, U.S. Cellular, ANYONE and ANYWHERE where there is a Note 2 and do some massive comparisons. I regret that I'm alone in this effort today and that I don't have another person to video record my findings and interviews with store agents on my illustrations so I can blast it on YouTube.
I live in Chicago...who's down with me, man?
Wish you all the best. It's a MASSIVELY impressive phone, just wish that calibration/alignment issue wasn't an issue. The tech support guy tried to pass it off on me as saying that "99% of people wouldn't notice it" and that it certainly had to have passed quality inspection from Samsung. Then I challenged that "99%" would suggest then that even the quality testers over at Samsung were also guilty of "not noticing", which doesn't say that it was non-existent. Who actually writes way, way, way down in the lower right-hand corner to notice this anyway?
THIS GUY RIGHT HERE!! FOR $800, I WAN'T A DANG PEEEEERRRRRFFFEEECT FREAKIN' PHONE! IN ALL FOUR CORNERS OF MY DEVICE!! I'M ENTITLED!
I wanna bust out my Gracie Jiu-Jitsu on someone, man. lol

Does anyone know if the Galaxy S pen will work with our T-989 and if there is a way to port that software onto our phones or will it be included in our ICS update? The reason I ask is because i hate using my fingers to draw something in the drawsomething app. I love that app but would like to make my drawings better. So will the S pen be compatible???
I think the S pen is just like any other stylus..not sure tho..if you have some sort of stylus lying and try that and see if that works..

That is not correct. The S-Pen is a Wacom digitizer pen that does not work on a our compasitive screens. The wacom feature allows for pressure sensitive versus heat sensitive

I thought our phones screen responded to electrons.... Verified it with a battery, slide the positve side and nothing but when you slide the negative side of the battery on the screen it responds. So anyhting with a negative charge would work with the phone right?

That is interesting but I'm not sure I want to try so I'll take your word for it. And thanks everyone for the replies.....it's a little confusing to say the least. I was hoping for better news that would allow us to use a stylus. Maybe something will come up. Who knows.....
The note has two digotozers that allow for input through fingers and the s pen stylus. It has to be s pen because it is a different type of stylus so normal run off the mill styluses won't work. Same deal with us, but we only have one digitzer for input from finger only. So neither s pen nor stylus will work unless you get the one made for capacitive screens which are nit accurate at all.

Hey all, I was looking at the Final Countdown widget on my screen with my glasses (I usually wear contacts) and I noticed the numbers seem to come off the screen just a smidge! I looked at it without my glasses and lo and behold, it was as flat as the screen. Lol Why am I seeing this? I have pretty bad astigmatism, so idk if the difference in my lenses cause this little faux 3D effect? Lemme know what you think!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yes, I can explain why but it's easier to say that it's an optical illusion because of the way the glasses are compared to the contacts.
Focal points, etc.
I too experience this, I had eye surgery on my left eye but my right eye is perfect vision. Hence I wear contacts as well, tho the right one is so minor I might as well not on that side. When I switch to my glasses, I'll get slightly odd effects, especially at some angles or surfaces.
On a side note, if you see this in your screens, keep in mind it can/will happen elsewhere, like when you're driving with your glasses....

Nah, but really, if you have astigmatism, only the actual very center of the glasses lens is truly in focus and some "views" through the lens, if you don't turn your head will be blurry or you may see things that aren't really quite there. You do get used to it over time and tune it out, but if you watch for it, you see it.

Since this thread is sooo not on topic with everything else, mind telling me what brand contacts you wear?
My doc had me switch brands again, hoping these will be more comfortable in the long run.
I went from Purevision Toric monthly to Extreme H2O 54 toric bi weekly.
Purevision was nice, stayed clear and you could sleep in them, but irritated my eyes after 5 hours.
Extreme H2O very comfortable, pricy but collect "gunk" faster, so I end up removing and cleaning them in the afternoons.
Why can't there be a perfect model?

Haven't you ever had a contact fold up in your eye while driving? 100x worse. It happens to me once in a while, and it has almost sent me into the median a couple of times. I don't have glasses anymore, but I can't remember ever having an issue driving with glasses. But, ymmv, I suppose.

I wear glasses and ive noticed this effect.
For example, when looking at titanium backup, some of the entries are red text, and others are gray, white or yellow. The red text seems to stand out in front of the other colors. When i take off my glasses and refocus, the effect go away.
Maybe it has something to do with the coatings they put on the lenses? Ive also noticed when looking at flourescent lights that one edge has a blue halo, the other edge has a yellow halo.

No, not yet, but since I really only need the contact for the one eye, at least I'd still be able to see.
I think it is cool. I wear contacts all the time and never wear my glasses because I feel like I might wake up and my daughter is standing next to the bed and she gets hit because I don't know who she is. Yes my vision is that bad. But I do see the 3D effect that you mention when wearing my glasses. And I also wear acuvue oasis.

lol interesting thread - i've had my note for a total of 2.5 hours so far (side by side with my S3) and i've got to say (having used the original note) the overall feel is nice, very rounded, a bit slippery perhaps (nothing a skin cant fix)
the pen still feels lighter than i'd like and the button is a bit more recessed than i'd like
the home button is awesome and much more responsive than my stock s3
a similar complaint to my s3 but when grabbing the device from the bottom edge, i have a tendency to tap the menu / back buttons on accident, a bit annoying when not using a case
the glass is nice, the feel of the pen on the screen is much more controlled than the original
nfc, yay! google wallet downloaded, would message ' not compatible' on open and shut itself down... boo..
the volume and home button have a nice confident click and feel compared to the s3 and original note...

Man... youre right about the home and volume buttons... i forgot
Google Wallet not working.
Lack of multi windows.
The pen feels a bit cheap still (loved the feel of the Palm Tungsten metal ones that were telescopic). Though fixable as I think I'll get a dual use pen/pointer to keep in pocket/briefcase, I'm a fairly large bloke too, so having that larger pen will help too, this current one isn't really of a decent size/thickness/weight to use for long periods of time, I think my hand would 'claw' up.
Lack of cases for a while (the official 'flap' one is good, got it at last but was making me twitchy not having it protected. Wish there was a good/cheap pouch type case to slide it in for extra protection). And/or the 'flap' phone case, the front of it, the actual flap, is wonderful to touch, but the back is the same uber slippery plastic that the default one is. Can NFC not be done through a very slightly thicker case with a built in rubberised coasting, as the Nexus7 has? This thing is still very, very slick, and I can see with slightly sweaty hands, I'll need to be extra careful.
The built in Samsung Keyboard (that is SO incredibly good with the Swype/cool T9 like swype functionalty/left/right handed), but doesn't scale to other resolutions if you tweak the lcd dpi. REALLY a great keyboard, please make it scale! No, best keyboard I've ever used, and it's keeping me from tweaking the dpi.
The knowledge that when I do inevitably flash CM on this, I'll probably end up losing TMobile wifi calling, that for me, is working wonderfully.
Touch wiz is mildly... odd. But not as bad as seen before, JB's ability to disable things is really helping. But what annoys me somewhat is the different functionality for no other reason than to do it different it appears, and needing a few extra apps (like the photo editor) downloaded when built in apps rely on it.
Oh, no 32mb NII's in TMobile, and so much of the 16GB filled with Bloatware (steady Cyanogenmod, steady... your day will come).
So, all pretty minor (hopefully constructive) criticisms. Overall, still mad impressed with this phone. All phones should have the option to have it work with a stylus as well integrated as this.
If I had the chance to order things to be fixed;
Wifi Calling for Tmobile as an installable app so I'd be less twitchy about flashing with other roms.
Rubberised back.
My personal gripe, is about how much my GN2 looks and feels like an iPhone. In everyway, from the straight lines, to the rounded corners, and don't get me started with the app drawer. The smoothness of page transitions, Google Now.
OK.. I was just kidding guys! LOL.
My real gripes -
1 the on/off button on the exact opposite side of the device as the volume rocker. They should have put it up on top.
2 No dedicated camera button.
3 I always loved scrollable wallpaper, which I feel I shouldn't need to root, and re-rom for it.
4 No auto spell correct from the stock Samsung keyboard.
5 Oh yeah, NO [email protected]#$KING MULTI-SCREEN. - sorry, had to get that one in.

Only gripe is the call volume being a bit on the low side even when maxed. Speaker is loud enough though.
I'm sure they're apks to tweak it a bit but I'm too busy enjoying the phone so i'll search for a fix later.
Somerhing for me is the screen keeps timing our evn with the option checked to see my eyes... also when it goes out and I press home button it goes home instead of waking up to the app I was on. Everyother phone did not do this. Is this just me or is there a setting?

I don't like that we can't use our S-Pen on our soft keys. It would be great to be able to hit the menu and back buttons with the pen and have them respond.
i dont like the physical home button,but not enough to keep me from buying it, i think next year it will be all cap.buttons.oh well i'll get it when its available

Hi, I've had my galaxy note 2 for about a month now and I absolutely love it. I love the fact where I can pull out the S-Pen and take a note. The problem I'm facing is that on the left side of the screen towords the bottom it seems to be off when I write. Wherever I write in that section it seems to write it to the right of where my pen is touching the screen. Take a look at the attached picture.
Now I've google searched if there is a method to calibrate the S Pen. But the only thing I seem to find is a method that works with the original Galaxy Note 1. And I have also come across an app called TouchscreenTune that helps you calibrate the S-Pen. But as far as I know this app calibrates the S Pen for the entire screen. For example if I calibrate the S Pen with this application and make it so it writes to the left instead of how it's off by going to the right it will do that for the entire screen. I'm only having this issue at that 1 section of the screen. Can anybody help me out please?

I don't have any solutions, but I can confirm that I'm having the same issue. It happens in a few places, but all of them are towards the edge fo the screen. I noticed it trying to make a line with a straight edge in sketchbook mobile, which this makes it impossible to do. Similarly, I've searched and can't find any suggestions on calibration.

Thanks for the comment. Just to make sure, when you write a bunch in that bottom left area, there's no interuptions in the inking or it's hard to write because the cursor doesn't stay centered?
I'm trying to figure out if this is something all of them have that's just too minor for most people to notice or there's just a few bad apples. I'll be at verizon tomorrow testing out some other note 2s and see if I see a pattern. If not, I'll just return.

Glad yours works. That code doesn't work for me. I'm on a verizon phone which means they probably jacked that up too along with everything else.
Interesting development today.
Exchanged my phone to verizon. Was really excited the new one was working so well. Went home and it started to do it again. Got real up set and then light bulb popped up. There's a magnet on the back of my seidio kickstand case. Took the case off and now it works fine. Which means the other one probably worked fine as well. Annoyed that I spent $50 on this stupid case.

Yeah, you should never use any kind of case with magnets with a phone with a Wacom digitizer.
It's really a shame, otherwise I would've bought the KLD Ultra Slim PU Leather Flip Cover Case already.
Hi, sorry for the late response. But i went to Best Buy and tried another S-Pen and with the S-Pen it does the same thing. It weird, When i right the actual ink is not under where my pen is, its more to the right of it. Even if i hover the S-Pen over the screen the little circle thing is also off to the right abit. I tried to use that TouchScreen Tune app, but when i apply the changes in it, it says Failed< Unsupported ROM or FW. I use the S-Pen alot, and it sucks because of this inconvenience.
Oh and i can confirm that the App posted in that Link "Reset S-Pen" Does NOT work to fix this issue. I wish it was just the S-Pen that was defective. I have no problem going to Best Buy and buying a new one for $40.
My s pen accuracy improved when I did what another forum suggested. Go into pen settings, and switch it to left handed, and then back to right handed. That resets the calibration.

Do yoi have it in a case? I did and found that there was a magnet closure (which screws up the digitizer).

I got the same problem but it is normal to get a little departure right

Hi, i am using the original Samsung Flip Cover Case. It has no magnets. And i dont think this should be happening. I would expect this kind of defects from a cheap $100-$300 phone. Not from the best smartphone in the world that retails for over $700!

I think is really possible for samsung to build it, i mean if you want to break it...there's no technology that will prevent it. But i see accidentally brakes to become a thing of the past, samsung has come far with its flexible screens(see CES). I don't see flexible screen going to the 'flexible' part of it and more to the 'endurance' part of it. Just because you can bent the screen 180 degrees doesn't make it practical as of today, but i can see a good use to the plastic glass-looking-flexible-screen(just have to make them scratch resistance). I take one please!
I had heard this a few days back...as mentioned above, a truly "unbreakable" screen is a myth and they are misleading you by referring to it as such. An incredibly resistant screen that can avoid breaking under common everyday sorts of accidents though? This I believe. I've seen a few videos around the net featuring some of their experiments with these bendable screens...and they are rather neat. I can honestly see a "flip-phone" style model coming out in a few years (as odd as it sounds)....basically if they keep everything on the phone, except the screen itself, on hinges as two parts...you can fold the phone flip phone style. Pretty neat to think about. I don't see the GS4 featuring this, OR an "unbreakable screen" (I can see this being more realistic for the GS5)...but I have been surprised before
Actually I saw a video of a sample display that Samsung was working on and the user rolled the screen up and unrolled it and started typing on it, it had a dark rim around it and a few lose wires coming from the corner. I thought it was some graphic trick at the time but it was pretty convincing and it was a little bigger than a Note 2 display by the looks of it, more like a tablet display.

Sony had this tech a while ago. As usual, looks like Samsung will take credit for it, though. I wonder why Sony keeps coming up with things, not protect it or market it, and have someone else take credit for it.
No. Sony had a phone with two screens that folded.

I saw this video too... I think this video was using "some" tricks and was more of a marketing video, but not an actual production item. It would be cool, but we are a long time from seeing that. I think he also stretched it out at some point too, correct?
Nokia has had prototype flexible screens for years.
