Hey,
I bought note 2 few days ago and I have noticed that S Pen airview icon (small blue circle) does not work on lower right hand corner of my screen. When I hover the pen over that part of screen that blue circle does not appear at all but every thing else works fine (display, touch)
is this a manufacture fault? Is there anyway to fix this? or should I take it back to the shop?
Thanks

Your device is not faulty.
The area indicated in the picture is not supported by the S-Pen due to a normal but minor limitation of the operation of the S pen feature.

I would think that there is only one light source, probably an LED. Typically with these things a clear plastic part routes light to the three buttons from a single source. I would guess that's a hardware issue and if it bothers you (it would me) send it back again.

Spot on. There is a YouTube video somewhere of how to replace the LCD screen, and there is a complicated task of lining up the light guides used for the three buttons, I suspect they just haven't done it very well.
It will not be a software issue.

if youre using a custom rom, it may be the rom?

i demanded a replacement, they agreed, but i had to send it off anyway, and wait for the replacement to be sent
they didn't send a replacement after all of that , they just repaired it again (properly though)

You are suffering from greater sensitivity setting of the pen read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1925212
you can either adjust the potentiometer beneath the switch on the S pen or take it to the service center,
I have lower screen sensitivity in the bottom right corner where the letter L is and the Enter is. Sometimes it will take tree taps to get the letter l to show up on the screen while for everything else it works with barely touching it. Do you guys have this as well? Some people have reported this as well.
The weird thing is that when drawing, that part of the screen works just fine with finger or the s pen, its only noticeable when pressing...
Does anyone know how to calibrate the screen? It was in the setting before but now i can't find it.
I have noticed the same

Yeah, same with mine, the letter "K" on my screen.
I think it's a defect.
Removing the screen protector obviously makes it MORE sensitive, but I still think it is a defect and had nothing to do with the screen protectors...

I also had that same problem. When i would continuously tap the L button it would just stop responding but if i go the S pen out and started to tap it with the pen it would work fine. I took it to the shop I got if from and they replaced it with one where the S pen wouldnt work properly on the bottom right side of the screen so they replaced it yet again and now i have a phone that is fine all except the notification LED is not as bright as all other note 2's i compare it with........Must say i love the phone but Samsung NEED to be more consistent with their quality control of their phones
Me too. My device different is when i swipe in portrait keyboard swipe works fine in my l and enter. Samsung must solve.
Hi guys. Same problem here.
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 recognize the touch. It's a mess specially when writting.
Is it then a hard or soft problem? Shall it be solved with any future update or I should go and return my Note?
Did u try any other keyboard. Its the software bug.

Both, either not charging and charging...

The touch digitizer might be damaged.. As was in my G too.. To find it out set the brightness to full and check near the bezels.. If you see white light coming near the bezels (the black colour has been somehow scratched away).. Then you need a digitizer replacement

Well, this seems to be software problem if it is specific. Did you try a wipe? Reflashed KDZ?

Did u try to test the touch screen in lg hidden menu .. You can enter it by entering the following in the dialer
3845#*<yourmodel>#
Eg.
3845#*975# for lg e975
3845#*970# for lg e970
In the hidden menu go to device test then individual item test (at the bottom) then. Touch Draw Test..
Now just draw there and see for yourself if the Touch is damaged...
In my case , i couldn't draw at the center of the screen ..

Hello fellow lenovo p2 owners i purchased this phone 2 days ago everything most things seem to be working fine apart from a couple of quirks. double tap to wake is hit n miss which is rather annoying but i can live with it in the hope future software will fix it. On another note i have noticed their is very faint red led light always on to the left of the speaker after i turn the screen off. Has anyone experienced this issue with the faint red led which when the screen is switched on goes off but whenever the screen is off i can see it light up just left of the speaker. I am concerned that this led might affect the battery usage in some way iff it is always on. should i take it back to the shop on account of this faint light always being on which appears much brighter in complete darkness. t
Thankyou all for reading.
That's the proximity sensor. Have you got any apps that use it?

Hi thanks for the reply the only app I think might be using it is Ac display but not sure.
OK fixed its a false alarm its definetly the app AC display which is using the sensor while screen off because i disabled the app and the red faint light vanished. the only other thing left is double tap to wake is fragile and needs about 10 taps to wake screen sometimes. Hopefully this is software related.
Why use double tap when you can touch sensor once to wake the screen?
not too sure but i prefer double tapping the middle of the screen rather than all the way up on a specific point where the sensor is.
Finger print is at bottom. Can also click it once with a non registered finger to bring lock screen up.
Kind of think dttw is redundant on a phone with front finger print sensor and physical home button.
To reduce the wear-and-tear like in iPhone home button...

As for me, I'll use the DTTW feature just to see the time and glance thru incoming notifications and if nothing important, the screen will turn off after 5 seconds... If we wake the screen, then, we have to turn off the screen "manually" (unless we set the display off timing to 5 seconds...or DTT-sleep is implemented...)
If we were to always "press" the home button, there is high change of "wear-and-tear" failure in the near future...
My iPhone 4 after 3 years, the home button failed due to "wear-and-tear" because too many double-click to get to the background apps...now the iPhone is running "virtual floating button"...LOL...
My current Note 5 home button seems to be very reliable which is now closed to 2 years ownership... But I'm not too confident at P2a42's front fingerprint scanner "durability"... Hence, I'll try to reduce the "clicking" actions as much as possible...
I wonder after warranty ended, how much is the repair cost for the fingerprint scanner... Should be less than 20% of the selling price...
Can see your point. I never own a phone 2 years lol so makes no difference to me. Don't think I have had a phone 12 months before either, just too addicted to em lol.
