Screen question - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to make it so if you have one of your fingers touching the screen doesn't register it like on the Ipad?

Do you mean like locking the screen so it won't register input? I dunno but what's the purpose of this? Just so I can think a bit about it. I don't see the use and can't imagine why you would disallow one finger input. :0

Like when I hold the tablet in portrait mode with one hand, my thumb sometimes clicks things or makes it so I can't click on anything because of the thin bezels on the sides. I heard the iPad mini has something that fixes this problem.

O sh*t, ye I understand your trouble on this. I'm afraid I dunno. I can try and see when I get home. If the feature is called by a name on iPad, one should be able to google that name and then finish with android, but I won't do research thru me tablet. But I'll try and look around mate.

Thanks. I can't remember the name of it but I remember hearing about it when the iPad mini was launched and was reminded of it as I am using my tablet..

Can't find a name, can only find mention of the feature in iPad Mini describingly. Tried a few searches. Seems like some people comment on this, the Android have been doing it for a while, but from manufacturers. Samsung and Motorola seems to be doing it. Can't find any universal app and no one mentions name of apps that does it on their android devices. It's probably coded into the specific stock rom. Other mentions that it is fairly hit an miss that it works.
For now, no dice. - Sorry.

Why on earth nexus one is more expensive than desire??

+1 on not doing the FuNkY typing!
Personally, I paid more for my desire than the nexus one. Obviously market conditions have changed. There is no longer an AMOLED issue on Desire because of SLCD. Nexus One on the other hand, doesnt use SLCD and has been discontinued, making it rarer and harder to acquire.
You'd expect it to be more expensive now

No - the Nexus One hasn't been discontinued!
Google closed their online "mobile phone" store, but the Nexus One is still being manufactured and can be purchased as the official Android Dev phone and direct from carriers such as Vodafone in the UK.
In addition, it has also moved to SLCD.
On to the OPs question - the slight hardware diffences between the Desire and Nexus One will account for some of it (e.g. noise cancelling microphone on the Nexus, trackball, capacitive buttons etc), and the rest is probably just a "Google Tax" because they set the price of the Nexus One.

Dave

Why? iT's ReaLly BoRinG fOr mE tO tYpE In tHe NoRmaL wAy..
Any way i type in normal way beacause of you
Thank u, Good Reason, It Seems To Be Just Google
((But Why Do u Prefer TrackBall To Optical One))
Might be boring but it's the forum rules - if you don't want to follow them then leave
'' Pisssss on This ****ing rules, i just want my cigarettes back''
don't get it wrong it's just a quote from my favorite movie ''One Flew Over the cuckoo's Nest''
But Correct me if i'm wrong:
IF i type tYpE instead of type, i've just broken the rules..?
Come on i know most of user don't like this type of typing & i should respect them and don't type in that way (as i'm doing NOW) BUT i don't think it's against the RULES...

hah, nice one EddyOS
the trackball I would prefer because I find it hard to use my optical D pad because when my phone is in my case it is quite hard to find it and use (while typing a text) so if a ball would just stick out a bit more I would find it more confortable
Thank u EddyOs..
But ''Post only using a clear subject and message'' doesn't say that typing tYpE is wrong, tYpE is NOt Clear..?

Uhm yeah the nexus has a noise microphone, but the desire has more RAM and fm radio
So in the end its mostly google tax

The Nexus One has the FM radio too, by virtue of the using the same Broadcomm chip, and I believe it has been enabled in some Nexus One ROMs (though not officially).

[request] Cute pink alarm clock docking station

So my friend has gotten her gs3 and just wants as much pink stuff for it as possible. So she has asked me to help her find an alarm clock/pink/charging station for her. I know that they have plenty of these kind of things for IOS but I need something for the gs3. Can anyone suggest anything?
I have not seen any, aside from one on amazon.. that is actually universal, but has mostly all bad reviews, due to being VERY unstable.
if you want want now, i would say get one, and get some paint, add some gems, and call it custom!

I have never seen one... unless you have skills with a dremel, can form new plastic (to make holes smaller) and soldering (to wire in a resistor to trigger "dock mode") wanted to gut an iPhone one, and put in a USB, plug... and at that point, since the S3 is larger.. nevermind. lol.
It would be easier to start one from scratch.... but that is how you win cool points.

Thanks. Now, notice how that S3 goes into the Tablet UI? With no modifications to the firmware. We need to find out how to enable that independently of docking.

I would assume its because its displaying on the laptop dock which has a larger screen and smaller DPI. You can force your S3 into the tablet UI by simply lowering your pixel density, but then everything is so small.

Yeah, but I mean w/o manually editing the DPI. Like a toggle or something built in to ROMs. Would be kinda cool, at least IMO. Especially if someone already has an MHL adapter and plugs it up to their HD TV.

Shut up and take my money!!!
I've been waiting for something like this since I bought my iPod Touch 2g back in 2008. The Atrix would have been nice, but laptop dock was ridiculously overpriced, and only available on AT&T.
Has anyone been able successfully find anything else on these? I have been searching high and low and have yet to find it.

What i would want to see from a device like this is an integrated dock for the phone. Let's say I'm on a plane or a train, i dont want cables between two devices, i would want my phone to clip into the netbook somehow. Maybe on the back of the screen? Or even better, screen up, in next to the trackpad flush with the keyboard, with the Capability to use it as an auxiliary screen. Or why not use the phone itself AS the trackpad?
Even still, as it is now, I'd buy it.

[Q] Please help: Note 2 came with different stylus; different parts, doesn't work

Everyone in my house recently switched over to the Galaxy Note 2. We love the phones, but for some reason, I got stuck with a defective s-pen.
My stylus doesn't do the same basic functions as the others, such as screen capture, quick commands, etc. On the other hand, it can do things the other pens can't, such as swipe between screens while hovering an inch above the glass and open apps, links, etc. by clicking the pen button while hovering an inch above the glass.
I love the bonus features, but the lack of basic features makes it unusable. After some research, I found all the guides to adjusting the potentiometer. I popped the button off the s-pen to adjust the little screw...and it's not there!
Here's a pic comparing everything: http://imgur.com/a/pm7EE
So...any help? Has anyone run into this before? Is there any way to fix this? I bought the phones used, so maybe this stylus is 3rd party?
I'm guessing that I can't swap this out via warranty now that I popped it open, so any help fixing is much appreciated!
The pens arent locked to a specific device. Try one of the others and see if it gets normal functionality. Otherwise you can buy a new one for 20-30$

I've actually tried all the pens on all the devices. Two of them do all the expected functions, while the one is okay for clicking links and such, but it won't do screen shots, quick command, etc. The thing where I can use it to swipe between screens or click links without even touching the screen is cool, though, so I was hoping I'd be able to get it to work and have the best of both worlds.

Come to think of it it sounds like the tip button is stuck in. Try pushing the tip in on one of the regular ones with a piece of tape or something and ill bet you get the same functionality as the messed up one. So maybe try putting the tip in rubbing alcohol or something to get it unstuck

The tip seems to work fine, and taping in the tips on the others doesn't replicate the issues. For example, taping up the tip on a normal one doesn't make it so that I can swipe pages and open links without even touching the screen. Plus, this still wouldn't explain why the inside components are different.

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. I haven't seen 3rd party units that are branded as Samsung before, so I was hoping I could figure out a way to keep the extra features and restore the basic functions. Oh well!

Been wondering the same thing. I haven't tried the Z Pen, but it's a bit pricey to take a chance with, even if I plan on trying to get a few years out of this tablet. Did you ever find anything?

That's too bad, but thanks for the quick reply.
Crud...Came hoping to find an answer to this question, too. The z-pen bites completely.
Offset is ridiculous, pressure sensitivity is really shoddy, and actual note taking and or drawing is as bad as if I was using one of those rubber-nubbed capacitive stylii that come bundled free with pretty much everything.
I love the tablet itself, but this stylus is a joke. I just can't afford to throw money at replacements unless I know they work. Almost makes me wish I still had my Note Pro 12.2...

Ya, I paid the high price for the Asus Pen and it broke..
Anyone find an alternative? The pen six for many reasons, including the holding clip is cheap and breaks easily.
I've got a Lenovo Pen for my convertible laptop but I've not tried it on my tablet. To be honest I didn't even think of it until I saw this thread. I'll give it a try because the Lenovo pen is really nice. Should I try and special apps etc? I'm on stock ROM and don't think I'll be rooting this device for a while.
