So I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software issue. Recently I had some water damage on my phone so I swapped out the mainboard and some other parts with an old GS3 that I broke trying to replace the screen. Everything was workin' great except for the accelerometer - when I rotate to the left, the screen orients as if I went to the right, and vice versa. Up and down orientation works just fine.
I've tried calibration, different applications, and re-flashing the ROM I'm on. What else can I do?
Sounds like maybe it's in backwords?

What would be backwards? All the screws are in place, it's impossible that the mobo is turned around.

So, you dropped your phone from some height, and now it doesn't go into landscape anymore?
do you mean your phone won't physically open, or it won't tilt to landscape when you change the orientation of the phone?
If its the latter, sounds like you busted your accelerometer.

Yeah I was talking bout the screen orientation but when I reboot my phone it works fine and after a while it doesn't, so I don't think the accelerometer is broken

Not sure if this will help, but I have heard of cases where it's an app that's causing the system to stop responding to the accelerometer. I have a friend who owns a Samsung Galaxy S who had his accelerometer stop working, only to find it working after uninstalling a bunch of apps.
So you might want to consider that it wasn't necessarily the drop that caused it.
if you look at the bottom under my dock icons it started doing thus a couple days ago. Not sure if my digitizer is going but if i reboot it goes away.

that looks to be a row of funky lookin pixels, which would be the screen, not the digitizer... the digitizer just registers touch input and does not actually display anything, it just is an overlay over the screen.... as to how to troubleshoot the problem I would grab LCD test from the market and go from there

Playing Sherlock Holmes here... but of it was a problem with the physical screen, I'd imagine it wouldn't show in a screen shot, which implies its something the app can actually capture. I'd try a different rom and see how it goes.
Just an idea

Dude crazy good logic, I was thinking he had a row of stuck pixels or something but you're 100% right, that'd not show up at all in the screencap, I also didn't notice it went away on reboot, I'm thinking that was an edit of the op

I've had this phone for about a month and a half, and almost every single day I have to go into the sounds setting to disable the "screen touch sounds". Has anyone ever had that issue before? I have the phone set up the way I like it, and don't change anything in the settings anymore, but somehow I'll be going to do something and I hear that silly noise when I select something. I know it's not a big deal, but it drives me crazy. Any advice?

Same for me. I ended up going in with root explorer and replacing the sound files with silent files to stop the sound from coming back.

Happens to me every time I put the phone on vibrate and back on sound. It is annoying.

i havent had that problem at all, ever since i got the phone and rooted with phantoms blaze rom its been working flawlessly, no issues here.
I've noticed it only happens when you change the camera to video or back to camera. So its the camera modes turning it back on. Try it out for yourself.

I have the same problem with the key sounds as well, and I also have the same problem with the hectic feedback. I have no idea what it is, but it's a small problem...

yep, you nailed the cause of the problem. I also have the same issue. It seems this is a pretty common problem on sgs3
Just checking to see if anyone else is having this issue trying to decide if it is software or hardware. From time to time I have a non responsive section (lower right corner) it doesn't always do it so I wasn't sure if it was something loose hardware or a software clich. It is not app specific had it happen in games, home screen, and mostly in keyboard but I think that is because I use the keyboard more than anything.

My screen can be a bit funky at times too. What rom / kernel are you using?
I am still factory now. Dang there it goes had to hit the period 3 times now working fine again.

Except that's a wacom digitizer issue, the OP is having a problem with the capacitive touchscreen (unless he uses the qwerty keyboard with his S-pen which seems cumbersome)
And yeah, i too can't seem to hover reliably at the VERY bottom right corner of the screen, but my capactive touchscreen is fine as if you look at where the OP is having problems (around the period button on the virtual keyboard) my S-pen works there, but it's hard to detect when it gets close to the bottom right corner, maybe a 2x2mm patch.
In any case, OP, looks like a hardware defect, go grab a new one.
Looks like I have similar problem. I even opened s-note and tried to draw some lines using tiniest pen line. I have few pixels which I couldn't draw on. Anyone with same issue?

Is your phone situated near any kind of magnet-material? Usually, that causes interference with the display on the Note 2
i've never seen anything like this in all my years now with android. no matter what rom i am on comletely stock or any of the custom roms when i make a phone call my phone call and the person doesn't answer my phone is black and locked up. i can't hit the power button to turn it on the only way to get my phone back is a battery pull.
basically, when i make a call i cannnot turn the screen on to hit the keypad, can't do anything. if i make a call and the person answers everything will be ok - after they hangup. i can't hangup since i can't get to my onscreen buttons to hangup.
things i've tried
stock and custom roms with no apps loaded
wiping multiple times
fixing permissions
dialer one from the market
any ideas what could be wrong? it must be a hardware problem or something.
Is your proximity sensor working correctly? Try using some of the motions in settings.

yeah, i was thinking the proximity sensor must be broken. but even if it is broken why would i not be able to hit power to turn the phone screen back on.
ive never used motions before not sure i'm doing it correctly to determine if its broke for sure

I think what he's saying is go into settings>motions and check quick glance. Then with ur screen off wave ur hand over ur prox sensor and ur screen should turn on with info about ur phone and current time and such..

yep, i'd say the proximity sensor is broken. doing this in the motion settings works fine on my brothers note 2 and will not work with mine
any idea what my options are if the prox sensor is indeed broken? i suposse the only option is to try to take it back to sprint.

Yeah, first thing I would try is a warranty claim through sprint.. As long as there's no physical sign of abuse, they will prob take care of ya..

Go the sprint route for sure. Unless you are feeling ballsy and open it up to make sure one of the cables didnt come loose
