Hi,
I'd like to ask you if on your devices, the smart alert when you get sms or missed calls, is working properly ?
Indeed on my device and although on a colleague's device, it often fails to work, or when it works it takes too much time to happen so that you have already switched your screen on.
What do you say ?
Mine works sometimes, but mostly it doesn't. I think it works good when the device is put screen down, and then take it up. Because in the tutorial it shows that the device should be placed as screen is faced down.

No it does not work better on mine. When following the tuto it's working very promptly but IRL it does not.
I can barely stand things which do not work especially on mobile devices !!
Mine works perfectly every time. Even when phone not face down and just on its back

Mine is horrible as well. It works good in no light or little light. But doesn't work in well lit environments like my job.
I don't think it has anything to do with external light.
@OP: If you think that everything works perfectly on Note 2 then you better think of whether to keep it or not. Not only Smart Alert, there are plenty stuffs which doesn't work as they should.

It works as soon as you grab it ?
Mine is working with quite some latency like 3 or 4 seconds.

Just got my note 2 & noticed a small discoloration in the volume button as shown in the picture.
Everything is working perfectly
Is it worth the return?

If it doesn't really require lots of hassle, i would ask for a swap.
If I bought it at a store, I would return it.
It will definitely go back first thing in the morning as I just found that the theft side of the screen is waaaay to unresponsive to the spen.
Thank you guys.

Guess what. ..theyre all not ve r y sensitive on the side of the screen with spen. Mines like they and multiple people have Reported this.

Holy crapola that sucks! I was gonna say (before I read all the way down) that I'm so anal with my stuff that I'd return it in a heartbeat. Now that I see the sensitivity issue I'd obviously return it like you did. Hopefully that doesn't ruin your opinion of the Note 2 though, because it's a truly awesome phone! I've had mine for a few weeks now and I don't know what I'd do without it anymore!

Well, I'm a huge fan of the note concept & I know that Samsung's quality control is very very good but sometimes you get a lemon & you have to deal with it.
I guess I'm just fortunate I never have these issues....how did you purchase in store. ...yet its later outside the store you notice something you SHOULD have noticed at time of purchase.............doesn't everyone inspect their device prior to paying and leaving. As far as the s-pen issues people should adjust their settings mines works just fine you have to tweak the sensitivity to your own UNIQUE handwriting style

bipoler: Sometimes new gadget owners fall victim to the so-called Gollum syndrome: their eyes enlarge, their skintone dulls and greys out, and their cognitive functions are diminished. It can last from a few minutes to a few days, and only the worse failures can stop the symptoms quickly, more subtle defects take longer.

Well I got my unit online from timo's website. Once I got the device 18 hours later it was on its way back. The spen issue is not just a less sensitive area... its a deadzone which the device just does not register anything.

guys this is an iphone feature and before you go haters its really cool. I usually have my phone volume down and lay it on its screen. so i miss a lot of calls. My cousin's iphone flash everytime he have a notification or a phone call and it looks really cool. I know this will probably drain your battery but its someone choice to choose this feature or not
I've searched around cause I do the same with silent and phone facing down... I have yet to find anything.
Look for flash blink in the market. I've been using it for a long time

Yes there is a way to use this feature. The best option is Beacon, it works like an absolute charm on the s3. It is a paid app, however i have attached the apk. Your welcome. Is the sharing of paid apk's frowned upon? I hope not lol. Anyways good luck, post update to let me know how it worked out.
Mod Edit: Took out Paid Beacon.apk as that is Warez and not allowed.
I'm sure this is not allowed. Doesn't this fall under warez.

Yeah it's against the rules, but thanks for the apk although I'll probably end up buying it if I keep it.
Ome question though, won't using an app like this end up killimg the life of the led flash?

Why not just turn the phone over and use the built-in LED notification on the front ? You can even configure different colours for different things.

You've been registered for all of a few hours and have already broken the "cardinal" rule of posting Warez. I know for a fact that you have to review the rules before the registration is complete. If this is how it is going to be, then your time here will be short lived. No Warez!!!

Got it. It works excellent lol. I was just in the sauna at the gym and then I got a text message I didnt know this app will activate without even open it. and it the flash started to flash. People were asking questions about. Seems like its a cool tweak to show your friends lol
I mentioned it 24 hours ago haha, I like it for night time, I put my phone on silent and usually have it flipped over cause the charging LED is bright in my room rather have a few Flashes for a couple seconds rather then unlimited flashes through out the whole night.
You can set the front LED to not have phone charging as a condition.

Either you have a hardware issue, in which case claim warranty. Or just do a clean wipe and restart. Are you rooted?
Because that's a silly reason to switch phones. I totally get if you need to upgrade to some other phone - but if this is your sole reason, explore other options before you do.
This failure of screen to come back after a call has been reported by others. I doubt it's hardware.

Are you on stock ROM?

If it's software, it's defo fixable. I haven't faced this issue on any ROM/Kernel combo I've tried thus far.
Okay scratch that, I did face it once on X Note IIRC. Did a full wipe and everything works well to date.
This just started happening a day or so ago but it's bothering me big time. I don't even have to press the button all the way down. Just put some minor pressure on it and it makes this clicking or crackling sound. It's not 100% of the time but it's doing it a good bit. Wondering if anyone has experienced this yet with their note 4.
Anyway, I was thinking of bringing it into best buy to exchange for another one. Is that possible? I don't have insurance or anything but being that it's only a couple weeks old, and obviously still covered by warranty, they should be able to exchange. My concern is they will probably look at me like I'm crazy. But when I spend a lot of money on a device, and it's only a couple weeks old and making this noise already, it's quite annoying. My gf has a note 4 too and her button isn't anything like this so it concerns me.
nope. mines incredibly solid.

Same. I mean I know if I go into best buy asking to exchange, they're gonna look at me like I'm crazy for complaining about it. The other problem is it doesn't help all the time. Sometimes I press it and it's fine, other times it does make that noise. So it's hard to reproduce the noise due to it being at random.
My home button has a solid clicking sound, like the rest of the buttons. If yours doesn't sound like the rest of the buttons when they are pressed, you should consider exchanging.

Yeah I think I'm going to go in to best buy tomorrow. Do you need to be able to reproduce the issue for them to exchange? It is definitely still doing it, but not 100% of the time.

Not yet. I had an S4 and Note 3 that did, though. It was quite annoying, and I don't miss it. My N4 is really solid aside from the acceptable volume rocker play.
My screen does not record every press. Never misses a beat typing but selecting a thread from a list or a tweet from twitter feed or almost any random thing the first click may not record. I have to do it again. I wish I could increase sensitivity.
Does anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
My Verizon note 7 is on the truck for delivery today. I will share my experience after a day or of playing with it. Since it sounds like I can't root it yet I guess I can't tweak it too bad. Do you have a screen protector on yours by chance?

I should have mentioned I had the VZW rep put on a Zagg but it had bubbles and was peeling so I took it off. Problem did not improve. The odd thing is it doesn't affect typing at all. I type fast and no lags nor unrecorded presses. It does happen randomly in any app or screen though. Never when clicking to open an app but clicking on a phone number in missed calls, clicking a link in the browser, clicking to open a tweet or tapatalk thread or basically anything anywhere on the screen. Not a dead spot. The second click always works. It's incredibly annoying when you kind of look for it to happen again and of course it does
MODERATOR - Would this be a legit topic for main thread or strictly a Q AND A thing? It would get more looks in a main Note 7 thread. Thanks

Are you going to keep or exchange? I'm not sure what to do. I love the phone but really hate this issue.
Some claim an update will fix it but I called VZW and Samsung tech support and both said they never heard of any problems at all with Note 7. How can I hope for a fix if they don't know there is a problem?
I've had the same problem. Glad it's not just me.

I have a case on mine also. I'm not sure about taking it back just because of the time it takes me to set up. I can't see it being a hardware issue because the same point of touch will work perfect on somethings but not on others. Kinda torn on if its worth the setup time to exchange. As far as tech support have they ever admitted to a problem with any phone lol.
