There is a small but noticeable dead spot in my device's recognition of the s-pen. I am not using a magnetic case. Essentially, there's one perhaps 1cm x 1cm section of the screen in the upper right hand corner where airview doesn't work, and I'm unable to write anything in that spot. I got my phone less than a week ago, and I just noticed this problem today (meaning it's a new problem).
I have looked for a solution and haven't found anything, so I appreciate any help. Thank you
If you got it less than a week ago and from att, just take it back. You have 14 days to swap it out.
Edit. ..Sorry I don't know any solution.

Thanks for repsonding
Do you know if it would be a problem that I rooted my phone..? Clearly the root didn't cause the issue, but I'm sure at&t would leap at a chance to void my warranty.
More importantly.. If i unroot my phone and reinstall stock android 4.1.1, would there be any evidence that I rooted the phone?

I would try going back to stock to see if the problem is still there.
You can unroot and return no problem.

Unrooted, problem persists. Device now unmodified so I can return it in a few days if the problem doesn't correct itself. Thanks.

I want to bring my SG2 back in to exchange because I noticed there is " one " dead/stuck pixel, that is colored RED. I just don't like my brand new device starting off being un-perfect. It's two days old.
Is there a way to unroot the phone?
no there is not....thats why i dont root till there is an unroot method
lol, nope. i looked and looked everywhere. could not find it anywhere on the net. my device was stuck in bootloop. after waiting for a while for stock rom to come out, and not seeing any advancement. i decided to purposely brick the device and go exchange it, worked like a charm.
u can wait 2 c if a stock rom comes out within ur 14 day period.

This is why i'm never in a hurry to jump on the root bandwagon until there is a method to go back to stock firmware. Sorry mate.

Although I was thinking the same thing, that's a big gamble to take. Since some people is reporting that Sprint doesn't care if the phone is rooted or not, I'm gonna just go to the sprint store to see if i can just exchange mine even though it's rooted.

They might care now. Problem is Sprint lacks the tools to remove root on this device. So they might have to deny you.

Just don't tell them its rooted.... I guarantee most of the employees won't know the difference....the ones that do probably wouldn't care

yup...they did...lol. They told me I had to return it to stock. Then went on to tell me that they're sure the issues I'm having in regards to losing data etc...is because sprint is updating their towers where I live...I thought this was bs.
But anyway, I left the store, turned on 4g to see if that service was available in my area yet...and boom...it connected.
So maybe he was telling the truth, because just a month ago there was no 4g at all here where I live.
But nevertheless, the stock tar/kernel should be posted today or within the next few days. Apparently bubby..is just about to release it
I dropped my E4GT in a puddle :crying: and, long story short, am getting a replacement in the mail tomorrow or the day after. Is my refurbished E4GT likely to have the ICS update installed? Has anyone recently received a replacement phone? I am hoping that it is not, because of awful battery life.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Even if it is it o lay takes like 10 mi urea to get back to gb

So awhile back my Nexus speaker actually went out. It comes back on randomly. I've been a month or so without it before. Anyway, I'm curious if its returnable for a defective speaker to get it fixed. I'm not looking for a new phone as the one I have doesn't have issues lol, I'm lucky my screen was the only horrible thing out of nexus production.
So is it possible or am I looking at a home procedure on my phone?

Are you under warranty? If yes, send it back! If no, you can still try and see if they do a courtesy exchange. I've had success before.
Just note that if you attempt to fix it yourself you'll void your warranty.

Mine has a camera issue. Once I move around the camera will freeze up, give me a "camera has failed" error, and sometimes cause my phone to reboot. Im getting a white one this time too.

Hey first post, I am about to exchange mine as well but I do not know how to do the MDL official thing you speak of, I did this to get back onto stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628 but my phone status still says custom, any idea how to fix that? Also is there any way to change the download mode to say stock instead of custom?
Use Kies to restore it back to original. I did mine a few hours ago sucessfully. Under tool setting in Kies.

Were you rooted? I have the same issue and wonder if it's because of flashing. I'm getting my replacement Friday.

Yes, I was rooted and running wicked and the camera never crashed once on the stock rom. However, that does not mean that rooting or the wicked rom itself caused the camera problems. After flashing back to original firmware my camera problem remains. I chalk it up as a hardware issue. My new on got here today and im unsure if I will root it just yet.
My vibrator died. I even did a factory restore but that didn't help.
Any ideas I don't think phone is under warranty any longer.

Try using Kies and doing an emergency firmware update. It will ask you to input a model number. For AT&T it is SGH-I747 with caps and everything exactly as I wrote it. See if that helps your issue first.

This may or man not help, but my Captivate would sometimes do this with certain updates. I even thought about trying to replace the motor the first time and then after I updated to a different rom it was back again. Or maybe it was just a re-install. Either way, it did come back and I think it happened again once or twice as I tried lots of roms on that phone.
