I don't know but there is something wrong with my S pen. It does not right anything on the right side of the screen. Tried to change the hand domination and checked as well but no difference. Here's a screenshot. I was drawing circles but only 1 circle was complete. Rest are broken. Any ideas??

You using a magnetic case.
If yes put that **** in to garbage
Nopes! I am not using a magnetic case. Just a regular plastic case thing. So that's not the problem definitely. And evn iF I was, it wouldn't have spoiled it just at the right side of the screen...

I'm running ARHD 3.0 at the moment, and i just checked this.. No problem with any part of the screen.
So either your ROM (if you have a custom ROM) has somehow managed to mess with it, or (the more likely case), you have a defective device.
I guess it is a faulty piece after all. Coz I have the stock rom. Wil go to the service center ASAP.. thanx for all the help guys
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
You have an S-pen that's a bit too insensitive. I had the exact same problem and believe me, pressing harder is no solution: it just frustrates you more...
You can try and swap it for a better pen, but it can be cured too: just search for the "S pen too sensitive" (yes, that happens also) threads here for the graphic description to adjust the sensitivity settings below the button in the pen. A little bit of careful tweaking with a very small screwdriver is all you need.
My S pen is perfect now
Note'd too from my N7100...
Thanx. That's a good advice. But I'll first try n get it replaced coz I barely got it a week ago. If not we'll try your method. Will look it up now..

I have the same problem. They replaced the device or just the s-pen? I'm not going to wait months for a device assistance just for this little problem
Btw, i have this kind of problem ONLY when using writing recognition. An area of about 0,5 cm at the right side of the screen just seems less sensitive. But it's ok when drawing, so it seems a software problem to me

I didn't break them. It shipped like that. On the phone now with at&t trying to get a replacement and getting the run around! Gotta love AT&T! Maybe I can get some more refunds for my troubles? LOL Justed noticed it when someone asked me to NFC with them it didnt work. So I checked youtube to see how to do it then tried with wifed SIII and it didn't work. Thats when I started investigating!
That one is gonna be hard to convince them to replace ....good luck...if all else fails u can just order a new sim try assembly........ this might help u https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT-2zrZ_aNo&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Excellent video there! Good stuff.
Well the phone call didn't go well they wanted me to let them charge my card $299 until they got my phone...didn't budge and manager so say got disconnected and was going to call right back. Called local corp store they said bring it in and they would replace it.
I brought it in and now my NFC works! Everything else seems fine as well so far!
Now 6 hrs later and manager still hadn't called back. I will call and make a formal complaint tomorrow. Heads are gonna roll!
I am less than my 14 day return so I could have just returmed it and then got a new one. Noy so sure whats so hard about sending a replacement for the defective one they sent me.

Yup it was. To be honest it looks like it was never soldered on if you look at it closely. I am pretty sure it was a manufacturing defect. I know 100% sure I didnt touch or break it. In fact I hardly ever took the back off except to add sd card. The only reason I checked the contacts was because NFC wasnt working.

You may already know this if you've had experience with previous phones, but take your time and thoroughly read threads before doing anything. Your phone was cheap to get, but will be expensive to replace if you brick it. There is at least one dev here who frequently posts roms that never work (but the descriptions make them sound awesome), so read more than the first post--check out the last pages too.

Here's the link to the Note camera/gallery thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32293258. When you flash it, you'll have a 2nd gallery and a 2nd camera. You'll need to delete data for the new gallery and reboot to get it working. The only thing I've seen that doesn't work in it is the "Cartoonify" effect. And the name of the dev I was referring to earlier is droidmodder. He seems to be trying hard, but hasn't been very successful yet. People give him a lot of crap in his threads because the roms apparently have never worked. But who knows...one of these days he might be awesome.

Remove s-pen, choose a image you want to crop and when ready press and hold the button on the pen and go around till you reach the starting point. Then it will give you several options as to where you want to use the cropped pic :thumbup:

It might be broken in some places and not as a whole, it's better to get it checked.

I have something relatively similar problem.... if I draw (horizontal) lines in S note with just a small pressure, when i get near the right side of the screen there is a small area (4-8mm wide) where it won't write. With some more pressure it will write. It is something with the digitieser ? PS No magnetic cases where used but it has fallen from around 1.5m hight.
I tried using some extra pressure, no luck.. any other suggestions before i get it to repair? Its such a little problem of this lovely device, hate the fact that it dousnt function properly...

Do you use a magnetic case or screen protector?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2
Okay here's what I'd do.
First put the s-pen between two study coasters and then slam it firmly onto a hard surface. Using about a third of the pressure you reckon might crush it.
Second look for a guide on how to remove the s pen button cover and adjust the sensors to see if it helps
Third. Unroot, clear the flash counter and update the firmware OTA if available (just because that's what any good customers service advisor or engineer would do/ask first). You said you rooted through Odin, I did not know you could use Odin to do that, so I'll stick to what I know. I would flash a stock firmware from your country and network, preferably the one it shipped with. Use the latest Triangle Away to remove the flash counter and return unmodified status. Perform and check for an update, return to the store.
Best of luck.

I have an AT&T Galaxy S3, the I747, which is currently running the 5/10 build of PAC-Man, the 5/9 build of the KT747 kernel, and task650's 5/8 gapps. I dropped it about a month and a half ago, shattered the screen, and had to replace it. A quirk to this is that I had to replace it with a screen from a Sprint Galaxy S3, the L710. After I replaced the screen, on Friday, I flashed to the stuff I'm running right now. Yesterday (Sunday), I noticed that the sensor directly to the right of the front-facing speaker is lit up with a very faint red color at all times while my phone is on. I have done a little searching, and from what I can find, everyone is attributing this to Viber, which I don't use.
It's this one:

My proximity sensor and light sensor are working fine still, but my main concerns are battery life and longevity. Is this light being on going to either hurt my sensor in the long run or create unnecessary drain on my battery, and if either is the case, what do I do about it?
I noticed mine was on one day while i was in bed, just rebooted and haven't had it since. I don't see why it would need to read data from the proximity sensor unless your on a call or so it shouldn't drain battery . if your in the SMS app then it might be using it for direct dial but I'm not sure if you have that feature in pacman

Try a program called greenify. It will tell you which programs are causing wake locks and what is using the most battery.
Hi, I used to have Viber installed, until I noticed that dot I didn't relate it. It made me panic so I went through my apps 1 by 1 and found viber to be the one keeping it always on even when its not running. If you don't have Viber, go to your installed apps page, go to downloaded tab and force close each one. If the red dot is persistent then its another app. Keep going until its gone and you'll find the culprit.
Have a good day.
