Can someone else relate

Ok so I've had my white galaxy s II for about 3 days. Before I rooted the phone I was experiencing my phone randomly freezing up. I thought it was just a software issue but now that I have rooted it, I'm still experiencing the same issue, but its seems to be worse. I was wondering if anybody else was having this issue and if so how did you fix it.

Stock gingerbread touch issues

i work in the sprint store and in the past few days we have gotten at least 4 people with an epic touch still running gingerbread (with no option to update to ics) having issues with the bottom buttons not responding, touch screen acting weird, vibration activating sporadically, and with one case the media scanner runs in a loop. the only way to solve these issues have been to factory reset. but could only be temporary. the customers havnt returned. these issues have not just been happening on older devices but recent activation's.
is this a common issue? is there a fix? (without rooting!) we are a sprint store. we cant promote that lol

Check your same thread over in q&a...

I noticed this after going from ics back to gb

I just activated my phone yesterday morning. I am getting very similar issues as the OP. See here. The 4 capacitive buttons when they light up won't respond for a few minutes on mine also. Then the 'Options' button shows up.

Edit double post

Sounds like a batch of bad software flashes from the warehouse. Probably just need reflashed?
FYI, our store hasn't seen this

I thought the same thing but its been mostly from well established customers. It may have just been a coincidence but I'll see how this week turns out. The factory resets seem to have fixed the issues. Just could have been gingerbread getting confused after being used for awhile lol. Which brings me to another question.. is there any way to push the ics update to an epic touch that's still on gingerbread without Odin. Keep in mind this is a sprint store and we are very limited on our resources

**Ultimate GS3 sudden death thread** (Tmo version)

Hi guys, recently lots of S3 owners encouter this scary issue that their S3's motherboards just failed randomly and the phones are dead.Here is the link to the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993044
However, after reading pages, I noticed most cases are in the UK, some in other europe countries, some in asia (india, south east asia). Not sure the US version (and Tmo version specificly) is suffering from this, so I made this thread to gather information about this. I know I am paranoid, but I was hoping my S3 would last at least 2 years til my next upgrade. And now Im living in fear after knowing that thread. My S3 (manufacture date is 06/27/12) is still performing very fine with zero issue since august except the SD card being removed unexpectedly 2 times by the phone itself.
(btw, you can check your manufature date by dial this code: *#12580*369# )
Edit: seems like only international version suffers from this issue.

This is why we all pay for warranty right?

Well that's what Odin is for. If you Odin to stock it doesn't take away your warranty.

my phone comes with 1 year warranty. But I hate having a phone already opened up for repair.
Anyway, there is 1 case with Tmo US version....

Warranty or not. Motherboards shouldn't fail on its own.its a recall. manufacturer should be held responsible without warranty.

Exactly. These phones are too damn expensive for them to keep sticking us consumers on the crap end of the stick when they screw up.

as much as i hate to say this but if this does happen to mine, this will be the last time I buy from Samsung and might jump ship to Apple where I can take a phone in a get it fixed in time.

Im pretty happy with Samsung, I deal with warranty on a day to day basis in another way but there is an expected amount of devices that go out that a company knows is going to fail at some point and also rely on returns for warranted devices to see what went wrong in production in order to correct it.
The problem is you have "X" amount of people on the forum which is big in consideration to a regular site and "Y" with the same problem and people group in and make the issue bigger than it is. Any company that posts a recall is at the point that OVER 42% of the product with the same failure over the release.
With that said I haven't had one problem with mine that others have reported and after being let down by HTC time and time again I most definitely will buy another Samsung device, so far it's been the best I've had out of the collection of smartphones I have.

You dont have to go to the store, call T-Mobile and they will send you one with an RMA, as soon as you get it put the old one in the box and send it out. All they do is check for water damage and put it up for refurbish they don't waste time putting it through testing they test the devices that may have account info on it if you can't power it up to format it before sending it back. They ask you that on the phone.

So does this mean that none of the tmo peeps have had no issues with their devices dying? I only ask because, I just got my galaxy last Wednesday. Had a couple quirks, but nothing's dead yet. Had a little issue with my music and swipe. When I would get my notifications tones say from email I would be listening to music, the sound would nearly drown out and stay that way till I paused my music and started again all was fine. I've been getting random screen flashes near the bottom of the screen, like a ton of lines like a glitch. Anyone else having this issue as well? Feel free to add anything else if you like.

Sounds to me like you might have activated something in developers options, go in settings and see if you selected anything that would flash the screen if long processes are in use.

Nothing in dev out of the usual, only thing being ticked is the usb debugging, and turned up the animation scales, transitions etc to .05, animations were at 1, but I was using swype, only happens when using that. Any better keyboards I can download on the market better than the Samsung or swype?

Did you enable any traces? That would show depending on what you have checked. I was gonna try enabling a few to see what it does but it's not like it would ruin anything. I'll report back though to see if I can recreate it.
Edit nope that did nothing, hope you figure it out, I never had that happen before.

Random back button presses

Is anyone elses note 2 randomly pressing the back button?
I've had it for around a month now with no issues but this just came up. Any idea?
I'm running Cleanrom on it if that makes a difference.

Haven't noticed this behavior at all on mine.

Yes I experience this on rooted stock. I have also noticed it do this for the "right click" button also. I don't know why. Thinking about flashing something to try and ditch it. I just love stock with nova. Don't really see a reason to switch. Battery life is amazing. It's fast enough to play need for speed most wanted without any pixel drops and it has the rarest slow down or crash. I just love it.
Expect for this stupid issue. >.< but it doesn't happen enough for me to be bugged. Probably every few days or less.

I'm completely stock and this has happened to me several times. I've found that locking it and unlocking it will stop it but it always happens again randomly. I'm planning on getting it exchanged. Hopefully it's just a few bad phones...

Screen Sensitivity

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 have the same issue. Typing is on point with every touch but I too am noticing I have to press 2 and three times on things like links and such.

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.

Me too. The s7e was too sensitive an dpeople complained so they made ours not sensitive enough. I just wish there were a software fix but no root so no hope. OT but do you know how to get the Twitter app to automatically start on the most recent post? I keep missing the temp blue box that offers to jump to most recent post because of the insensitive screen.
