Hi All!
This is my fist post and unluckily is due to a problem I'm facing with my Note II (I hope the Q&A is the correct place to post it).
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 recognizes the touch. It's a mess specially when writting.
Anybody with the same problem?
Is there anyhow I can calibrate the screen?
Any possible solution other than sending back to Samsung?
Thanks in advance!!

Hey guys,
Is there a way to completely disable the S Pen to not write/do anything when it is in the air? It drives me nuts cause i can't control it and just scribbles or clicks on things when i don't want it to. I really just want it to click and do things when it is on screen..
Cheers in advance
simple, return it for a warranty
S-Pen
Hi
Go to ‘Setting’ - ‘S-Pen’ and turn off ‘Air view’.
A question to you: Do you have the problem that I have? If the phone goes into sleep whilst I'm reading something (this only happens at night when the ‘stay awake’ camera doesn't see me) and I wake the phone with the home button I go to the home screen and not to the last viewed p-ge. The only way I get to the last viewed page is if I wake the phone with the power putton.
Pressing the home button, just wakes the phone does not take me to the home screen. May its the app you are using, I am reading a PDF using Polaris.

This problem occurs if you freeze S-voice or disable the "Open via home key" in S-voice settings. You can unfreeze s-voice or re-enable the open via home button to get rid of the problem.
It's annoying, I know. Happens to me as well, since I disabled the double click to open s-voice because it induces a lag in the home button.

I've turned that off already. It still doing it though
The tip of your spen is stuck in, most likely. I saw a video of a guy tapping the end of his spen to unstick it, kind of swinging it. Best to get it replaced though.

Possible solution
This is a solution to the infamous S-Pen hover/pressing problem (where it will register a press when it's not touching the screen!)
I tried turning off air view, tried tapping and moving the pressure sensor tip... nothing seemed to fix it properly .. nothing except adjusting the potentiometers in the s-pen
The rough guide:
1. Remove the button from the s-pen (a sharp blade in the middle and levering up should do remove it but be careful it doesn't fly off somewhere unknown!.
2. Adjust the potentiometer (variable resistor) closest to the stylus tip (the writing bit). Turn it clockwise to make it less sensitive and CCW to increase it. A few degrees should be enough.
3. Replace the button - put the tongue side in towards the stylus tip and then rest the button on the stylus. Press the raised end towards the tip and down.
Test (actually you might want to test it before you do step 3!)
A big thanks to kevie88 on YouTube for suggesting it in a comment - a quick web search seemed to confirm it. I made a how to video that might help someone.
I called Samsung support and they are sending me a new s-pen anyway so I thought the above method was worth a go
Hi
The letter p is no longer responding on my touch key board. I can press many times and no response.
Also the backspace button is not that responsive.
What's the best way to fix this? Is there something I Can change in the settings or do I need to have the hardware repaired?
Thanks.

Hello everyone, I worked out a solution myself so I thought I would share it with the rest of you.
a google search would suggest that I should try another keyboard,and having tried a few this made no difference. what i then realised was that I have an app called sidebar installed which was on the bottom right hand side of my screen and was affecting the p button as well as the backspace button. I have moved the sidebar outside of the keyboard range so it's no longer an issue now. Thabjs.

Hello, n00b here!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II (SGH-T989 T-Mobile), that has four 'hard softkeys', that is, touchbuttons (menu, home, back, search) outside the display area [no physical clicky Home button], and can't for the life of me, or with bad google-fu, figure out how to make the Home button take me right back to the home screen (launcher). When I press it once I just get a haptic 'bzz', and nothing at all happens. When I double-click it, as I have set in the settings, it goes to Task Switcher, from where I then can reach the home screen by tapping outside the miniaturized windows of running apps.
But, how to I make a single click go directly to the home screen?
Ideally I'd like to have the four buttons be menu=menu, home=homescreen, back=back, search=taskswitcher. Installing a specific app for it (that preferably won't eat up screen real estate with on-display softkeys), another launcher, another Settings app etc, is all okay by me as long as it fixes this major nag.
I don't get to choose other than a preset list in Settings, though. :/
System info is SAMSUNG-SGH-T989, CyanogenMod 11-20140506-NIGHTLY-hercules, Kernel 3.0.101-DIABLO-3.3, launcher Trebuchet 1.0.
(As a little gripe and boo, CM-11 on the Kindle Fire worked wonderfully, where the three on-display softkeys for taskswitch/home/back did just what I wanted them to. I can't see any reason why a JB'd phone would be unable to remap the keys to a select very few options just because they happen to be outside the actual display area. Especially as Home doesn't lead to the Home Screen. :/ )
Tons of grapefruitgrateful for any help here!

Problem solved, good enough for me - installing Hellybean and getting rid of all KitKat related junk.
Suddenly the phone works like it's supposed to, whee!

SGH-T989 Galaxy S II. Home keys aren't working. Sent phone in for charging port repairs. Sent phone back to replace touch keypad flex cable. Buttons have worked intermittently since. They also light up intermittently. I was hoping this was software related. Kies says the firmware is the latest. Any suggestions? The phone is for my 10yr old. Don't really want to invest in something new for her right now, just for games!

Hello,
I have a Galaxy J4 on which appeared to me a touch problem (it is no longer guaranteed). The part that does not work is just the one above the buttons so that when I want to write a message or switch languages on the keyboard or "close everything" does not work. About 5 millimeters above the keys does not work.
The solutions that I could find are: the rotation of the screen or use the phone with one hand (press the home button 3 times) ... but all this is disturbing.
The other solution that makes things a little easier is to install a navigation bar above the physical buttons (which I will not use) .. just to shift the display up .. but all those that I have tried do not solve the problem as the display stays under the installed bar.
If there is a solution to shift the display just 5 milimeters above the keys .. I will be a taker.
Thank you.
Hello friends
The good news is that it works with the lighter and the piezoelectric discharge ... the screen works entirely and very well.
One of the videos that explains the trick : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwswBUHTg3g
I recently realized that I can not make a long press on the corners of the bottom of the screen but if the touch response works because I have activated to see the keystrokes I want why this happens and if it is normal.
And if you can help me to solve my doubt.
