[Q] Keyboard Shadow/Outline on Homescreen

Hello. Just picked up a used GNex off Craigslist. My old Nexus broke and after 2 weeks wn old Dith aroid 2 Global that someone let me use, I had to get a GNex back. It came rooted with CM 10.1. However, once I got home and started messing around with it (flashed AOKP and installed TWRP) I noticed that there was a shadow/outline (not really sure how to describe it) of the keyboard on the screen at all times. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it is pretty annoying (especially on pages with white backgrounds.) I'm pretty sure I did nothing to cause this but does anyone have any idea what is going on/how to fix this?
Sidenote: I just realized that the keyboard outline is not "on the picture" if you will. I took a screenshot, looked at it on my computer and the keyboard outline was not on the picture. Not sure what this means/if it helps.
I've tried to take a picture of my phone but they keyboard outline is too faint to pick up.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Your new galaxy nexus is suffering from severe burn in. Remember on amoled screens, stuff displaying on the screen sort of burns the picture into the screen. Download screen diagnostic from the play store. Take a snapshot of the screen with the keyboard open. Then load the snap shot in screen diagnostic. Leave it there for a bit and it should fix the burn in.

for how long did you leave the negative image on? i have a similar problem on my s4 and i made a screenshot of my whatsapp chat box with the keyboard on (like the burnt image), turned it into a negative using the app and left it there for about 15 mins and the burn is still there like before.

I think I left mine on overnight. I didn't remove it completely, but it improved it

hi
i have a same probem on mys6.. How Iturn it on negative?

[Q] very slooow wake up!

I have SM-P605 (LTE version) running on BMJ9 (also tried few others before it) but the only thing I do seem to resolve and iritate me is the amount of time it takes to come whenever I pick it up. It is the same whether I use the home or the power button. I have switched off lock screen effect, I even switched off lock screen all together but the screen still wakes up sometimes after 2-4 seconds of pressing the button. Otherwise, it is not laggy in general.
Any ideas and wise words?
Cheers.

Have you tried disabling the home button from bringing up My Magazine? Either hit the home button from home screen or swipe up to launch My Magazine, then go into settings via the left capacitive button to left of home button and uncheck "open using the home key".

Thanks mate. Done that even disabled the svoice getting launched from the home button. THis behaviour is the same using TW or Apex.

This right here is why I returned it. No matter what I did, even using the Samsung Book Cover, nothing worked.
Drove me crazy til I finally had enough and exchanged it for the iPad Air.
If this issue gets fixed, I'd probably pick it up again.

It is driving me nuts! but it is my dislike of ipad and believe some xda developer (and or samsung) will come up with a solution that is making me keep this otherwise wonderful tablet.

I'm not a fan of iPad either but I got sick of opening the cover and always saying, "Ok, hold on a minute" when wanting to show it to someone.
You'd think this expensive spec beast would be able to wake up as fast as a dumb tablet with a third of its RAM. IPad is an instant wake.

Do you have power savings mode disabled?
Do you a micro SD card installed? If so, temporarily remove it and see if it makes a difference. Also, note the brand, model and speed class. And, did you format it in the device you're using?
Downgrading to a child's iPad with DRAM limitations and crashes is not an option for a lot of us.

it's a "feature" of the exynos processor. it puts itself into a deep sleep that has a slight delay when waking up. just about every exnyos4 and higher have the "feature".

Ummm...it's not limited to exynos processors my friend. It also happens on the snapdragon variants as well.
Just go in Developer Options and check box the option for "Force GPU Rendering". That did the trick for me so hopefully it'll work for you guys too.

No change so far but will monitor it.

Better...
After todays firmware update it starts up a lot faster. Now I think it's acceptable but Samsung can do better. Had the same issue on my "old" Note 2, but after a few firmware updates the problem disapered. I'm hopeful.

In my case from sleep it can easily take 5-6 sec ( though trust me it feels like ages) and compared to my old transformer prime it's downright embarrassing!!

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?

Question about screen

Hi,
I want to ask, what's happened with my P600 screen. What's this near "home" button?
These dots are under the screen (glass).
It doesn't seem to effect the touchscreen but this could become a future problem. Picture will be attached (though it could be hard to see).
Maybe screen digitizer has broken?
Its need to replace a screen or screen digitizer?
Thank you for advance

No its not dangerous. It's just a cosmetic issue thats all ... depends if you care enough to give it to Samsung to fix. Personally I would just leave it as once repaired it wont come back the same but then again some people are different and the bubbles at the bottom would annoy them.

Good news. I received my tablet from RMA with new screen.
But there is another problem. Tablet "see" that S-Pen is always removed from tablet and always active although S-Pen inside. When I remove it, there is no vibrate and sound. When I put S-Pen again inside, there is no vibrate and sound too. More, is always active icon on the top of left screen corner when S-Pen inside in the dock. I try turn off S-Pen detection function and did factory reset but problem still exist.
General question: when service replaced screen, the new screen comes (includes) with new S-Pen dock or new S-Pen or not? I think was damaged sensor in the dock.
I attached screenshot of my tablet.

Well I dont even get any S-Pen notifications. I used to but about 6 months back it just stopped poping up. It still vibrates to let me know its been removed but no notifications so I'm not too fussed as it still works fine.
@Sunrise2000 Yeah I did say this would probably happen. They fix one fault and you end up with another...hence I said if you can live with it then don't get it repaired BUT anyway ... call them up and let them know of the new problem.

The notification for the S-Pen disappear with one of the kernel/bug fixes updates. Sunrise2000 issue is a hardware issue I think.

Software issue. What setup are you running currently and what have you tried?

Thanks for your reply. I have formatted the phone twice, removed the tamper glass but nothing happens. problem is still there.Downloaded Oreo 8.0 Ver 5.0.2 and installed the software but still problem is there.I think there's problem with Oreo update.some times I can't restart or switch off the mobile because of touch problem.

Please find my details and help me.

Same thing only it is with the bottom 1cm of my screen, it is intermitent except directly above home button where the screen more often doesn't work then it does...
I enabled touch tracking and when it goes wild the dots show up going left-right for about 2-5s and then it calms down, except for example when I get into E&A game when I click on a part directly beside home button I see two dots "spliting" my touch into 2 dots maybe 0,5cm left and right, then it usualy goes haywire.
I use US version of DASH charger with EU adapter but seriously doubt that can be the problem, I'm not the only one having it obviously and it seems most of us got it thru Oxygen OS (well I just bought mine, used and updated, about a week ago so...) and I'm really anoyed by this, a 300€ used phone having such a CRIPLING BUG!!!!
