Alright, I just had my Note 2 replaced under warranty due to overheating a shutting down (Best Buy refurb phone replaced it) and I'm running into more issues with the replacement phone than the original. For example, I use Swype to text/type, but when I try and type the word "down" for example, it will seemingly not follow my finger across the screen properly as it breaks it into two words "f2f upper" and the word "assignment" registers as "ahoy highly rent". Now, I have tried other swype-type programs, including the samsung keyboard (default) and it does the exact same things on there which leads me to believe it has to be a phone issue.
Anyone ever had a similar experience and if so how did you resolve the issue.
It happened once or twice to me so I just killed my ram to free up space. Then it started working right. Try doing that, sounds like your running low on ram so its getting glitchy.

This only happens when I'm trying to type a text message or play a game that requires the use of a touch pad (like zenonia 3 and 4). The touch screen just refuses to respond properly and is causing me to be annoyed. Anyone know how to resolve this issue so I don't have to go back to Verizon and get a replacement?
NOTE: I've already tried to pull out the battery, format the phone, and the sd card. None of them worked.

On aosp roms I had the same issue.. just randomly would not respond. My soft keys would still and anything but the keyboard.. I don't know why. What I would do is turn my screen off and back on and it would start normal again.. then I just went back to sense and no issues

Ok, then I think it's probably an issue with the digitizer. I would take it to Verizon and see if you can get a replacement.

I have a weird issue. Sometimes when I am typing out words, the letter "i" will capitalize itself In the mIddle of a word. LOL there It just dId It to all of these words I just typed! See the "mIddle" "It" and "dId" I can't get it to go lower case no matter what I try. It doesn't happen all the time, as you can see the rest of this post is going ok. It's only random. It's not really a big deal, it's just really weird! Anyone else have this issue? I've already tried turning off auto-capitalize in the keyboard settings, but that didn't work.

I never had this happen to me...but that might be because I switched to the jellybean keyboard as soon as the phone came out of the box (in my opinion, the TouchJiz keyboard sucks!).
Same issue here. (Sometimes)

I had the same issue once after upgrading to the LG8, but after I turned off the phone and back on, it has worked fine ever since.
So I figured out that it only happens when I have to go back and add/edit something in the middle of a sentence or paragraph that I already typed out.

I had same issue with the stock keyboard. Only happened when I went back to edit. Pretty sure it's a bug. Went ahead and downloaded swype.

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.

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.

iSheep have different mentality. At least where I work... "But... wait... how... Wait a minute, I can jailbreak and do the same, just watch me"
I am not holding my breath.
I work at JCPenney's and with former apple bigwig now running the show here, its amazing how many problems I encounter daily with CR-apple devices...
I just want to pull Ron Johnson aside and tell him to invest in XDA Devs to manage competent android devices... been waiting months for any new app, and the ones we do have have are in serious need of updating(months overdue)... to think how fast devs get things accomplished for practically nothing on XDA, while apple devs under contract with JCP take months to get anything done is a travesty

First, be sure to have both apps opened. Then, on one of the apps touch on the typing area, to bring up the keyboard. Write at least one letter, and it should be able to float around. I tried to make it float without writing a single letter and it won't. Maybe it's just me, but it worked as described. :thumbup:

I'm assuming your phone is rooted. If so can you upload the keyboard apk? If not I'll just download a stock rom.

I wouldn't be surprised if a jailbroken iPhone could do that. And it'd be worth more in 2 years - and it'd still be getting software updates too, which I'm almost positive our Note 2s won't be getting in more than a year. >>
However, one thing the Note 2 can do that the iPhone will never be able to do is use a stylus like the s-pen. Sure, you can use a stylus, but it's like drawing with preschool crayons.
Just thought I'd be the voice of reason here lol

I don't have a note 2. I have an iPod touch and an Atrix 4G.
Apps on the iPhone can't resize. There is no framework for it. Even if it were possible the screen is too small.
Also I haven't seen any alternative keyboards.
The iPhone has a solid, simple, smart experience, however it does not have the potential of Android. An iPhone looks nicer, works seamlessly but isn't as capable as an Android phone.

I really hate to start a lag thread, but I am curious if others are experiencing this or if my phone is subpar component wise.
In initially playing with the phone, it was immediately snappy feeling. Everything ran great without stutters or lag input. Then about half way through the first day with it (the 12th of may) I noticed about a 30 fps drop when doing anything. It lasted for maybe 30 seconds the first time. Then I started paying attention and noticed it would do this up to a few times an hour at completely random times. It doesn't matter if I'm in the Web browser or scrolling through home screens (though I tend to see it more often there) I get the random lag.
The rest of the time the phone is extremely satisfying but I can't help feel like this Has to be fixed if it is indeed a software issue.
What I would like is some input from OG Pro owners, both root and non root, to determine if the issue is based on that factor and how widespread the issue is. My first guess is that the cpu is lowering its clock speed and turning off cores at inappropriate times due to kernel settings. My fear is that my hardware is lame and I need to know so I can rma the phone. My absolute worst fear is that this is a software glitch that won't get ironed out because of our locked bootloader and/or slow LG updates.
Please let me know your experiences or if you have something different.

I've tried to make this phone lag by haveing qslide apps open and switching between landscape and portrait and barely got a stutter. I rooted this morning and restored all my apps using titanium backup and with 262 apps installed I havent dropped below 350mb ram free and there is only a touch of lag when apps first open, buttery smooth after that, and this is with quad core control on. It definately sounds like u got a defective device.

Before you return it do some more testing. In all honestly it sounds line you have a memory leak. Start freezing apps one by one until the lagging stops. Once the lagging stops restore all your apps except for your last one you froze. Then you know what app has the memory leak

I don't have a pro but for a phone with 2gb of ram 300mb is low but not lie enough to worry. Android is based off of Linux n the more things in the ram is better unlike on Windows when you want as much ram as possible free.
A memory leak doesn't necessarily mean its going to eat up all your ram. There's a front side bus that controls the speed of the RAM. If the fsb is clogged up it's like driving threw a traffic jam on the highway.

That makes perfect sense. I've got way too many apps to freeze them one by one. The problem crops up a few times an hour so it could take me days of constant freezing to solve it. I'll factory restore and leave all apps off. If the issue persists after a reset then I'll try lgnpst then an exchange.
Thanks again for the help.

If you don't experience lag with out your apps installed then you know its one of your apps causing the lag. If the lag is present without your apps start freezing system apps. If it is indeed caused by a memory leak then getting a new phone ain't gonna solve the issue.
