HELP!! Tab 3 10.1 - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got a new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 for Christmas, everything works fine except sometimes TouchWiz has some issues such as a black screen.. I have to force stop TouchWiz and restart the process to fix the problem. I have a warranty on this device, but is the issue severe enough to take it in?? Thanks in advance.

Yes you should get it to service because it's a hardware malfunction - camera mechanical parts are faulty.

i took it to the service yesterday, strangely it worked perfectly in the hands of samsung's staff. He said it looks okay and i didnt need to leave it.

Automatic launch apps

Hello all,
Just got my Galaxy Tab and it's great but i got 2 minor issues:
1. It lags, but I am sure an update will fix this... I hope xD
2. Sometimes in home screen it automatically launches an app without me touching the screen. Not even a finger is near the screen. Do you guys have it too?
In browsers, apps it does not automatic click something.

What app?
My guess would be its bloody My Magazine app. Double click the home button then press the menu button then setting and uncheck the box that says open with home button.
Hopefully I guessed right lol

Install this app you might have a faulty screen, it has been found on a few Note 10.1 2014. There is a thread for it somewhere on here.

Does the ghost touch always touch the same spot? This happened to me for a while, right after unlocking the screen sometimes I would get a ghost touch in the same spot. Apart from that it did not affect anything else, the ghost touch only occurred from time to time after unlocking. After a while it went away don't know what changed exactly. Maybe try restarting the tablet see if that helps. I haven't had a ghost touch in ages.

I got the feeling the ghost spot is at random because always other programs are launched from homescreen.
They are charging way to much for a laggy, faulty device.
I reduced the lag though, so now rest the screen xD
Get a replacement tablet if you can.

Am not a nerd but go get it replaced. If it's new and has such issues, theres no point trying to fix it yourself when you can just get a brand new device.

Yeah i thought of that, but its very far from where i am now, i will not mind fixing it if only its a software problem, and not hardware
flickering screen
I've seen the same problem on mine which is brand new but past the 14 day store return policy.
It happens when playing video. It seems to go away after reboot, and when I open air command with the spen, which makes me think its a firmware rather than hardware issue. I've checked to see and it has the latest update at the moment.
Anyone else have any news on this problem?
Used to happen to my P601 as well. After updating to a 4.4.2 Rom (specifically P601XXUCND6) I have not experianced it anymore

Have you had a look at settings in Device->Display ?
AutoBrightness and Optimize Display can both be causes of flicker, try turning them off in the Display Settings.

Turning off hardware overlay in developer options worked for me. Don't know why everything was fine the 1st week or so I had it and then all of a sudden with the flickering. Guessing it may be a cache issue or something but whatever, this worked.
Flickering Screen on Galaxy Note 10.1
Hi There
Have you figured out the solution to this?
I have purchased the Note 10.1 last week and Samsung has informed me that they will not replace it but that it would have to go for repairs.
I too have restored the factory settings and turned off all settings for the S-pen as advised yet the screen flickers even sometimes on the home screen! I have also turned off the auto-brightness.
How/Where can I turn off the hardware overlay ??
Does anyone have a solution for me please?

[Q] got software update today

I got software update today for galaxy tab pro 8.4. The file size was 188mb stating it's for system stability. Anyone got this update? Do you see any improvement in your system.?
I updated on my 12.2, feels the same to me.
I also got the update this morning. I was having issues with the touch sensitivity and even was about to send it back to Samsung (for the second time) for this problem. Now I'm getting much better control. Very happy about that! Everything else seems the same
When I "check for updates", I get "The software update service is not available. Maximum number of roll-out updates has been exceeded. Try later or update your device using Samsung Kies (www.samsung.com/kies)."
Which presumably means an update is available but not to me at the moment.

Yup a **** load. Why I flashed cm11 but I can't move app data to SD. So I'm kind of stuck :-/.

No random reboots here. None at all.
Yeah, I'm getting reboots when I put the tab to sleep or wake it up. But the damned sensitivity problem is gone.
I got the FW from samsung-updates.com.
Rich
no reboots here. been running like a champ.
anyone who doesn't suffer from Random reboots, are you rooted?
also those who suffer from reboots, are you all rooted?
My the Theory: I think this reboots are related to being rooted or have knox void.
I am not rooted, everything pretty much stock and no reboots

Going back for repair a second time....
After the update I did notice a change in my screens touch response and kept telling myself how much better it was, and that it was fixed. Until I used a first gen Nexus 7 for an hour. NO selections were made unless I choose it, NO double letters when typing, and NO worries when on Facebook or Google Play store. Using my Tab Pro after the 7, was like using some off branded tablet companies first attempt at the touch screen. So it's going back to the repair facility for the second time, ridiculous. . .
I'm not new to Samsung, I had a Tab 3 8.0 before the Pro, my Galaxy s5 works well, and even the Tab 3 7.0 I bought for my little girl works smoothly.
Anyone still having touch screen issues? Anyone sent their Tab Pro out for service?
