Has anyone noticed an accuracy problem for the S-Pen in Google Chrome? In portrait mode, it is off by quite a bit while in landscape mode it is perfect.
At first, I thought it was my device, but the standard android browser is fine. Here is a video demonstrating the issue
sometimes it's Ok. I'm using the pen now & 80% of the time it's fine.
I definately noticed an issue after the last update. It is off for s-pen as well as normal touch inputs. I stopped using Chrome because of it.

It's a known issue with Chrome.

Goof that you discribed the problem with Chrome.
I thought I was crazy.

Notice the white bar at the bottom... Its height equals the vertical offset we're seeing.
If you rotate the screen to landscape and back to portrait it works fine (for a while).
Definitely a Chrome bug, I think it happens on my S3 as well.
There's a solution for this, which I posted in another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43569866&postcount=17
Fix is coming to Chrome beta and Chrome 29.

I had the same problem but I believe the latest update of Chrome has fixed it, at least it works fine with me now

It's quite odd that google developed google chrome for iOS first and after that chrome to android. I guess they had to test it with not as good operating system platform

Posted here because I dont have enough posts to post in the Cyanogenmod thread.
I recently updated to the latest nightly (10212011). I did this after seeing that 10202011 had some issues when using the video camera.
So this weekend I made a short video thinking all would be good but when I played it back via 'Gallery' the portrait video footage played sideways in landscape mode. Turning the phone to landscape gave me a stretched portrait video, which isnt really ideal in a perfect world. I can play the video in QQPlayer in its correct orientation but the video seems to jump, repeat parts and also goes out of sync.
I have searched to see if this has occured but I have not seen this issue before, so I wanted to flag it up to the devs.
Additionally I have another problem which again after searching I have not found a solution to.
I have the Kindle app installed and it all works great, I can read my book etc but after leaving the app the phone freezes and my only way out is to remove the battery. Has anyone else come across this? is there a solution?
Thanks for any help

Mine does that too, unless I hold the phone sideways when recording. Lately getting it to record at all is my issue, but have posted that elsewhere

For years I have enjoyed Gameboid and GBCoid on various android phones running various stock and custom softwares. I recently upgraded to the Galaxy Nexus and to my surprise, these applications had a blurry effect in portrait mode. When switching over to landscape mode they look fine and for a split second before the screen transition they also look fine, but put them upright again and they quickly blur back over. I tried adjusting the scaling/stretching option in the video settings of the applications to no avail. I uninstalled and reinstalled both the same files and different versions of the apps also not fixing the problem. I checked and unchecked the Force GPU Rendering option which had no effect. I am at a loss and would appreciate any help
GBCoid probably just needs updating, the last time it was updated was over a year ago. If you play in landscape it's not blurry.
i can confirm i use myboy and in landscape runs perfect but portrait is blurry just turn it sideways and u shouldnt have a problem
If anyone is curious, I loaded GBCoid on my Nexus 7 and portrait mode works fine and isn't blurry. So I have no idea what could be going on. Anybody have any ideas?

Hey, I got my Galaxy Note 2 a few days ago and so far I'm having a blast with it =) But I noticed an issue while viewing photos and videos... and running the camera app as well:
For some reason while the camera is running, a photo is displayed, or a video is playing, the screen renders everything grainy. I thought it was my imagination, but when I open up a menu, all the icons and options look different too, they don't look smooth anymore, as if anti aliasing (?) was turned off. It's even more noticeable when I use the pop up player option, it effects everything I'm doing on the screen until I close the video. This only happens while content is being displayed, though. When browsing the gallery or scrolling through my video list everything looks fine, until I open something. I also noticed this only happens in Samsung's media apps. Using a different app to view photos doesn't cause this at all. I looked through the forums and couldn't find anyone else with this issue, maybe I'm the only one and should get the phone replaced? Or maybe others haven't noticed it yet... it sounds specifically software related. I had the original Galaxy Note and didn't run into this, so I'm pretty confused. Has anyone else experienced this? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

This is really weird. I took a couple screenshots while the issue was going on but when transferred to my computer they look exactly how they should, no graininess whatsoever. I also tested some more apps, namely Camera Zoom FX and MX Player. Those aren't affecting the display at all either. I looked through every settings menu I could find to see if I had something on that I shouldn't, but nothing helps...
Nobody else seems to be having an issue, maybe my best bet is to exchange it, then
I would try a factory reset. If that doesnt work check out a display model at TMo, if its different ask for a new one.
Just did a factory reset, it's still doing it -_-. I'll check T-Mobile tomorrow, though, thanks!
Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys are having this issue as well? I tested 2x Note 2's and they both do this. The problem i'm having is whenever I rotate the device while viewing a video, screen brightness/contrast/gamma (i really don't know which?) goes up momentarily and goes back to normal again. It doesn't do this on stock video player but for example YouTube or MX Player does this. As for YouTube, go to play store and play any app demo videos because if you actually go to YouTube app when you rotate the device video will rotate as well and it's hard to see this problem.
Update: as for MX Player, this problem stopped when I put screen orientation to "landscape", by default it was on auto rotation (landscape). I think Note 2's system auto-rotation is conflicting with app's rotation?? Not a huge issue but gets really annoying I hope I didn't get 2x defective note2s....
Do you have smart rotation enabled?

Oh man... Thanks man, Yep that was the cause of this issue.... I turned off auto-rotation, I didn't think smart rotation would be still active.
All these good features causes at least one issues, what the heck... Smart rotation off, ripple effect off... I wonder what's next, hopefully nothing too major! :/

Thank you too!
I didn't even notice the issue with the ripple effect until you mentioned it, hehe.
I just got the Galaxy Nexus yesterday and I was playing around with the camera on 4.2, and every time I rotate the screen, there is some lag on the camera. Now I don't think this issue was there on 4.0, is there any way to fix this?
You've downgraded to 4.0.x?
Sure, there's a small delay when rotating, but isn't that to be expected?
Or are you talking about lag on the preview when moving around with the camera?

I had the Nexus in the summer, and I had 4.0 back then. You know when you rotate the phone (from landscape to portrait or vice versa) there is some lag, and the frame stops moving. I never had that issue with any android phones. It was not on the nexus in 4.0, and I was wondering if there was a fix for it.
I'm experiencing something similar, when I rotate my screen, somehow it takes more time as compared to 4.1.2
