I've noticed a skewing while using the stylus near the border of the bezel. Lets say 2cm in. First I thought it's because of a parallax effect and respectively the mismatch upon where you actually hold the stylus and what you see on the screen. But then i made a test with a ruler, drawing straight lines across the screwn. Here the effect is clearly visible on aforementioned areas.
This is particularly annyoing if you annotate on the sides of a pdf as in trying to follow the skew, you screw up the handwriting to no avail. Does someone else also have this problem or can try to replicate it?

I just noticed I also have this problem, when I turn the cursor to make it visible it off-set in certain area's. Anyone have this who had it replaced?
Is this not caused by a case having magnets that are too powerful
If neither of you have cases then obviously a fault.
i thought all devices have this problem, mine does and the one at best buy did too. I have a case but it's foldable and the magnets are not near the case when the device is stood up. It's minor, but it's there.
So, who doesn't have this issue when then test the edges using a straight edge.
Just tried it right now and noticed it happens on my tablet too. I'm pretty sure these aren't isolated cases and all the tablets do this. The surface pro 2 which uses the same digitizer also does this.

I'm not using a case and it also happens on my tablet.
So we have here 3 different opinions. Once classified as a defect, once as a cause of using magnets in a case and twice to be normal behaviour. Thx all for testing it out. On my part, I confess to have used a preliminary sleeve with magnets on the closing flap. Though only for two weeks and I'm not sure if it is causal as making permanent "damage". I now use a 360° case with no magnets.
The magnets are not near the area it happens and I also noticed it's not necessarily isolated to the sides There are a couple spots closer to the middle that it occurs on also. Is this classified as a defect covered by the warranty?
Also, as far as the magnets go does it generally happen only when the magnets are close or is it that once a magnet got close once the problem will always be there?

From what we know so far it's not supposed to do any permanent damage.

I am a new user of this tablet, and I can assure you, it's not caused by magnets or cases. Mine arrived a couple of weeks ago, and due to some mail incidents, the case and other accessories that I bought for it haven't arrived yet.
So, I have been storing it on its box, on a table that is away from any electronic device or magnet, and it has this issue. I have noticed it most prominently on the included SketchBook app. That leaves us with 2 options: An issue that is inherent to this tablet/digitizer or a widespread bug.
Happens for me too. But very faint, like a few pixels. I think the touchscreen driver could use an update... There are other issues with it as well as you can see in this forum..

Now I know that Samsung is not renowned for the build quality but still...
I've had my Nexus for a week now and have already noticed some wear marks on the top and bottom (attached pictures).
It has no pouch/case yet as none of the mobile shops I've went to sells such a thing and I didn't think I might need one in the very first week anyway so to rush and get it online.
As I like this phone very much, I've taken good care of it, never putting it in the pocket with change or keys, always placing it nicely on the desk, never bumping it against other objects (except for NFC testing).
At this moment I have no idea what caused them but I'll pay more attention to my habits for sure.
Did anyone else notice this problem on their phone as well?
I've had the phone for just over 2 weeks now and don't have that issue. I keep it in my pocket with no case/pouch.
I use mine naked while at home or at the office and I put a TPU case on it when I'm traveling. Even after popping the case on and off 20+ times and taking it in and out of my pocket without the case, I do not have any wear at all.
No wear on mime either and had it two weeks now.

I've got no idea what those pictures are supposed to show.
But since I got the phone I've been exceptionally careful with it because it's clear that there are going to be "hot points" due to its unique curved design. Those spots are definitely going to get worn.
I've even gone so far as to place it down on a padded surface.
This may be the first phone that requires a case to keep it in reasonable shape. Which stinks because case and dock are mutually incompatible.
hi all
i have a strange problem on my 1 day old note2
i have been playing with all the feature and have discovered a sort of dead area when using the pen
load up snote/memo or anything else using the pen
then on the right hand side when using the pen there is a square about 1cm in size that does not detect the pen when applying NORMAL pressure, using my finger its fine.. then to make it more odd if i apply i little more pressure it picks up the pen.. when applying pressure the line being drawn is more bold everywhere until i draw over the dead spot when it becomes a lighter line ie nor picking up the same pressure,,
i hope my very bad explanation is understood lol..
phone is 1 day old and i'm not sure if i have a fault or a bug
firmware is stock thailand
gt-n7100
4.1.1
baseband n7100dxalj1
build jroo3c.n7100xxalj3
Do you have a case on?

yes.. small unobtrusive one
just tested without case and no problem
confused
is there a thread about this issue .. looked but cannot see
Does your case have a magnet on the side of where your S-Pen does not work?
It happened with me as well.

yup.. thats the problem
having more info in hand google was my friend
:Apprarantly this problem occurs if you use a case with a magnet. The area will correspond with the location of the magnet.Samsung’s user manual clearly states not to use it with cases that have magnets. People have also commented on how this effects the internal compass too. Prolonged exposure will apparently result in the internals getting magnetized – no way out then!
People have reported that even after removing the magnetic case, it take between 24-48 hours for the effects to disappear. .!:
very worrying
i wonder if there is a way to block the magnet in the case from effecting the note..
otherwise its throw out the new case
I purchased,
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/NEW-Three-St...ios&hash=item4abc8f0ae3&_uhb=1#ht_4861wt_1037
case for my SG-N8010 and everything seemed to be fine until i noticed a S-Pen disorientation near the area where the magnet was. However, using my finger seemed perfectly fine. At first I thought it would be some software issue since I upgraded it to 4.1.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1925720) but after hours of searching the net for a possible solution I gave up. So a buddy of mine wanted to see it out of its case today and I noticed that the s pen was working perfectly when he was playing with it. I did try this later on and figured out that the problem did reside in the magnets being in my case.
SO voila! If you buy a magnetic case and face a s pen disorientation problem, just get another non magnetic case as it is frustrating at times when you are at lectures and constantly have to avoid a certain part of the screen to write on.
Please note I am no expert in Android, Im just the typical person who can install roms/kernals/multiwindow apps etc.
This problem may not affect you but it did on my SG-N8010.
Cheers :laugh:

I figure this out back in the days of the g1 I actually returned 2 of them because the compass got all screwy. Since then I avoid magnets near my electronics like the plague.

I too had this concern when buying a case. Ive had the official bookcover case for about 2 months now and every once in a while the s-pen will require extra force to register. This only happens above the magnets and with the case on. Once i take the case off and put it back on, everything is fine. It doesn't happen enough to bother me. Hopefully it isnt a huge issue.
With my regular Wacom tablets (same technology), I have this issue if I sit my laptop over the keyboard and I notice the CPU interferes with it...
Sometimes my phone as well will cause problems. Because there is a signal between the pen and the tablet (the tablet screen in this case), that really doesn't surprise me...
Well I have been using a case with magnet, not really a big user of SPEN but whatever little I used for did not see any issue.
Hi,
I've just check.
I write a pattern of flat line all over the screen in Quill program, and have detect two areas where the spen don't works.
I use a no original book like case.
Once released the tablet from the case, the two areas works fine.
Hello there!
I bought my xperia m 10 days ago, and i am pleased so far, except for one thing..
I noticed yesterday that the removable cover has started creaking, especially on the side with no buttons where the usb port is.
Has anyone else noticed that with their device? Is this something that inevitably happens after a while, or should i try to get it replaced because of a defect?
Yes, it started happening a few days after I bought or... If it happens to others too, I'll assume it's inevitable
This message was brought to you from my Sony Xperia M C1905 using Tapatalk.
Hmm I see..
Well I thought I'd ask because if it is something that is going to happen anyway, i will not bother taking it to the store.
They will have to send the phone to the service center and all that fuss just to replace the back cover, so it is not worth it.
If someone else can also confirm that this is the case with their phone I will be assured.
My phone also makes noises when pushed, most at top right and bottom left corners.
Well I take it there is nothing I can do about it then, so no point in returning it, I will have to live with it...
It is a shame though, because other than that the phone is outstanding in terms of value, I see no reason to spend any more that what I spent on this. It hits the sweet spot for me in the price/performance scale.
Has anyone found any solution to this problem?
I have tried putting little pieces of paper at the hotspots (bottom left and below the usb port in my case) but I had little success...
I am also curious to hear reports from others, maybe a silicon case can lessen the issue...

I have silicone case, it is the same. I am thinking about using thin layer of hotglue. It can be peeled of easily.
After some experimenting I found that putting a small piece of paper (3mm tall and about 3cm long) between the phone and the cover eliminated the major creaks that where in the lower-middle left side of my phone. I just folded a piece of printer paper in two and cut it to the above dimensions. If you try it make sure to put it in a way that does not block the small plastic clips that clip on the phone.
I was experiencing random screen shutoffs after fitting my galaxy note 10.1 (2014) for a new case.
It took a while before I finally realized that the random shut offs were being triggered by the case, more specifically, when the edge of my case came in line with the edge of the tablet, which is an awesome feature when you have the cover covering the front of the unit.
But the problem is it manages to shut off screen regardless of which side of the unit the cover is on, as long as the edge of the cover is aligned with the units edge. This can be quite frustrating when trying to read while holding the tablet in certain orientations.
Questions: I was wondering if anyone else has experienced similar issues with their cases/covers (a little research seems to indicate this is not an isolated issue and many, if not all, cases/covers suffer from this issue).
1) If you have not, which cases/covers do you use? Do these cases resolve the issue by never aligning the cover to the same position when flipped backwards as when flipped forwards (i.e. skewed slightly short of the edge when in backwards position)?
2) If you have experienced this issue, how have you addressed it? Can you disable the magnetic sensor?
3) Would weakening the magnet in the case perhaps ensure that it was only sensed in the forward position?

yes i have the same problem. pick up A generic folio type case for my P600. Case looks and feels great. Auto wake works brilliantly when I open the cover, but there is the problem of The screen turning off when I flip the cover over to the back and the magnetic edges meet. Dunno how to fix this yet. Tried the magnetoff xposed module but that doesn't seem to work.
I got the Moko slim case and the same thing happens, what I did to circumvent the problem was to put my screen cleaning cloth between the case and the tablet. This prevents the magnet from locking the screen when completely folded backwards, the only thing is that this method will block the camera with the cloth. For me this is not a problem I don't see myself using the camera on my tablet when I can use my SGS3's camera, and this way I never forget my screen cleaning cloth .
I've read about this on other devices on various covers as well. they think it mah be due to the magnet not being properly shielded. dunno any fixes other than get another case.
I hade a cover for my old Ipad and it all so turn off the Ipad when I flipped over the cover.
It did turn out the problem was with the magnet and after getting a new one, the problem was solved.
My poetic slimline work perfectly no issues at all. Love the look and feel, I do want a carry slevee tho for more protection if I wanna bring it out of the house. Or even just to store in the house. But overall love this case.

Get a piece of sheet metal (strip out a cheapie magnetic whiteboard , a few dollars at a variety store) cut to just less than the back of the tablet screen.
Cover it with a thin plastic film (to safeguard from cutting yourself)
It will adhere to the back of the screen magnetically and flatten the magnet's field
Now you can use the device with the keyboard tucked away behind the screen. (you may have to leave a small air gap say 5mm to 10 mm)
This does not affect the normal screen-keyboard functions when used conventionally
Same problem with Galaxy Tab A (Nougat)
There is an option in the tab to turn it off, but regardless what you choose, the tablet still responds to the magnet. Very annoying when you lay down your tablet flat. For now i just put something between the cover and the back of the tablet, like a handkerchief. This works for me, but ofcourse it's not a solution just a workaround. I'm still trying to find a solution.
Did you find any way to turn off the magnetic lock and unlock function? When I backfold my cover (aftermarket), it automatically locks my tab. Which is very irritating. I have Samsung galaxy tab S5e
There wasn't a good search result on a way to disable it via software or hardware mod so I thought I would post the solution I just did on my daughter's new tablet folio.
She has an old S3 Tab so the options are quite limited so figured modification was the only way. I ended up removing 3 magnets until I figured out which one actually did the on/off Hall effect. The smart thing to do would have been to use a magnet to find where on the tablet the Hall effect sensor was first, then remove just that magnet. The other magnets are for holding the clasp in place when the folio is open or closed.
I just cut an X over the magnet location, removed it, then filled it back in with hot glue. On her tablet, the Hall sensor was on the top left (fat arrow). It's annoying to have to do this but there's no other way. I tried the metal plate trick but that looked pretty bad and didn't always work.
Hope that helps someone
