Just wondering if it's just me or the screen on the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 is way too sensitive. When I try to scroll the page (on Google+ for example) I always end up opening something. It makes me not want to use it. It's really frustrating.
I also tried using a stylus (Wacom Bamboo Solo) and the result is the same.
So, is it only me? Is there any solution for that?
I have the same issue using Pulse. It's been good for gaming though. I might try a screen protector and see if it makes a difference.

Depends on what you're coming from.
I found the S4 to be very sensitive at first but that was from the S2 and OneX. The S3 may have been about the same as the S4 for all I know.
It would make sense if it started in Samsung devices when they added the hover function to their devices. They also made them more compatible with gloves around that time.
I doubt the Tab Pro is much more sensitive than the S4 but I don't own one yet.
You'll likely get used to it very quickly like I did.

The sensitivity on my device was extremely off.
I did little research today. I went to Best buy and tested the Tab Pro 8.4 in the showroom, it performed much better than mine, no issues, "normal" sensitivity... (looks like this issue is not affecting all the Tab Pro 8.4 tablets)
I called Samsung support to find out what's going on. I was told to do a reset on the device. I did it through the Samsung recovery - full wipe.
Now everything seem to be "normal". Looks like that solved my problem.
BTW, I'm using HTC One (replaced my old S2)

I have the exact same problem.. The screen is way too sensitive and I hate using this tablet. I wish I could return it. Thought it was just me. A very slight flick and the page zooms to the bottom. sometimes touching the screen causes I to zoom in and out to the places I don't even know where it's going.

Same issue here. Way too sensitive at the moment. I end up tapping the ads or opening unwanted links when browsing the web.

Try to do the factory reset and post your feedback after its done.
Do it in the recovery mode.
1. Power down your device.
2. Hold Volume Up and Power at the same time until you see the Samsung logo appear. Then release.
3. In the recovery mode press Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
4. Reboot and wait for few minutes untill everything loads.

Thanks! Made it a little better but still kind of annoying. When scrolling through youtube videos, a video starts playing when I didn't intend to click on that specific video.

My Tab Pro 8.4 has the same problem making it almost completely useless. When scrolling it constantly opens wherever I lift my finger. It's also constantly zooming in & out. I tried the Wipe Data/Factory Reset twice with no resolution. I didn't use it much the first couple weeks as I was waiting to get a case before using it and now it's too late to return it to Best Buy. I wanted to love, it but I find myself never using it now. I also tried adjusting the Press and Hold delay.

After I did the Factory Reset I noticed some improvement, but I'm still not satisfied with it. On top of that I started noticing the digital noise coming from the speakers (reported by other users) when I open a game and mute the sound.
And just like like you, I don't want to hate my $400 device.
I decided to send it to Samsung for repairs. I'm shipping it today.
BTW Best Buy's return/exchange policy sucks!
I went there after 25 days of purchase to ask if I can exchange it and they said:
"no, but you can bring it to the Geek Squad and they will take a look at it for a small charge" :/
We should definitely have more than 15 days to return/exchange faulty device!

Opening those ad pages on websites and opening random videos on youtube is getting really annoying. Samsung needs to provide an update asap. The screen sensitivity makes this tablet useless.
just got my Tab Pro 8.4" 32GB today instead of the Tab Pro 10.1" which i returned.
was a bit nervous about the sensitivity problem. but after playing with it for about 1 hour I can say its perfectly fine..
My 8.4 is the same, way too sensitive.

I have this same issue, too sensitive.
Same problem T325
same issue with hong kong version.
I flashed unofficial cm11, it improved the problem, but it still happens. so I assume this is a hardware related? Then I tried us and china official roms, make the tablet unusable. This is too bad. I want to love this tablet, but samsung just ruined it.
I had the same issue across all 4 devices (multiple exchanges for the speaker issue).
I found that If you install a screen protector it minimizes the problem. So I would give that a go.

Research those screens on Amazon. I've bought 2 so far. Both were imperfect. I'm hoping the one from repairs universe (they did the screen fix thread) will not be imperfect.

Seconding this. I've bought 2 so far from eBay (one from Edens Designs, which I also got replaced, but neither worked; and one from wholesalegadgetfix, which shipped from a company called EZelextronix, and which did not work either).
It's possible that they needed to be calibrated which never crossed my mind. But every time I put my old cracked screen back on, it works like it used to.
Also my bottom buttons don't work, either. If I touch the back or menu key, the touch actually registers on the lowest part of the screen. My fix was to enable the back-home-menu softkeys (like they are on the LG G2 and G3) with an app called Softkey Enabler.

inyour favorite file manager edit your build.prop or use build prop editor from the play store, and add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to enable the stock android navbar

Which one did you order?
Hi guys!
I have a F180L (converted on a E975), my phone never fell from any distance, or had any kind of impact, BUT...Since I updated to last version o Carbom ROM, I've got a issue on my screen...
There are random touches on my down-left corner of the screen. It's completely random, while the charger is plugged, or not. But it only happens when an app is opened, while in homescreen (even on google now cards) everything is ok...
I've already flashed another rom, the AOKP Android L release 11, the problem still here...I installed a screen tester app, and this corner is not recognizing when I touch.
What can I do? Is there any kind of fix for it?
It's really annoying (mainly while typing)...
Thank you for any help!
I guess its time for a replacement.
Made some research on other forums and found some people with the same problem, but on other devices...On Nexus 4 and Xioami (mostly)...They solved this by replacing the battery...I'll try to do that this week...
But any other tip about can help...
it might be a kernel issue
if u have jolla kernel try changing the kernel first
I have also the ghost touching on my E975.
Tried to do a scan with antivirus with no luck.
For instance it's hard to dial number, because there are ghost touches often.
It's like on tihs video, but I have touches even more often:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHFtafL-HKc
I'm on stock KitKat 4.4.2 ROM.
Any ideas about the issue?

I also had this problem and I sent it to service center (Still in warranty period). They replaced my phone touch screen and the problem is solved.

Thanks.
It's relatively common issue, hope it will not appear again...
Sorry to resurrect this thread but I seem to have a problem with my screen, not with the ghostly touches but my screen has like one part of it not responsive to touches especially the keyboard. While typing in portrait mode I can't type in the letters x and d and the whole line of the screen above those letters can't respond to my touches. The others are OK though. Anyone else having the same problem or is it just me? Already flashed different ROMs but same problem
So...I didn't manage to get a new battery to perform a test yet...Maybe I'll do that until the end of this week, and post the results here...
About the kernel...Mine is "3.4.0 [email protected]" ...
Going to update to new Kevin's L ROM and see what will happen...Hope I can help u, guys...
I had the same problem as well, unfortunately my phone was just out of the warranty period so I couldn't get a repair or replacement. I tried everything to do with the software and firmware at first to see if that was the issue(no luck). I noticed when my phone was either hot from heavy usage or charging, it was at its worst..couldn't even put my lock pattern in without it spazzing out. After almost throwing my phone at a wall numerous times I decided to get a new digitizer (easily bought online at reasonable prices). Watched a tutorial on Youtube and replaced it successfully and haven't had a problem since.

So tried the touchscreen test and found out it was like a whole strip of screen that got affected. It was okay just a few days ago though,

Yeah no problem and thats unlucky. I've got the Korean variant and wasn't ready to wait weeks to get my new digitizer either from Asia. I managed to find a european version that arrived next day and included front housing aswell (although modifications were needed a bit for the internals to fit). Yeah the Moto G look great but it seems to be more of a downgrade from your current handset right?

I live in the UK I managed to find one here on ebay. I know you can get some from Italy , Spain and I'm positive there some in US aswell. Search "E975 housing or digitizer" depending on what your after. Do be careful as some replacements screens lack the LG logo or a bad quality. Im would give direct link but im not sure about the forum rules on that are. If your still unsure do PM me your country and I'll PM you back an appropriate link.
Hope I helped.

I am wondering about the lg g4. The phone seems really good. But I have a couple concerns. Did you guys get used to the buttons on the back really quick? They seem really weird to me. Also, I want to buy the h811 model. How easy is this model to root/ROM?
The buttons are great. Very convenient. The phone overall is very good. Root is easy if you know what you're doing. Currently on the 10n software, you have to flash the rooted/patched system partition. Then you can flash TWRP via adb shell.
Edit: for 811, rooted system:

I tested it for the insiders back in may literally four hours after taking it out of the box for found myself pulling my z2 out and trying to tap the back to turn on
Now when I pick up my tablet I keep reaching to the back without thinking
So for me it was easy but my wife doesn't like it but loves tap to sleep/wake and she automates her volumes based on time so she only touches them if it runs out and she has to boot back up
We have the unlockable h815 so can't say about root
Sent from my B1-730HD using XDA Premium HD app
Hi, I have had the phone for a few days now and can honestly say the buttons on the back are a great feature. If you hold a phone like I do either with left or right hand and the bottom corner of the phone resting lightly around the fleshy part of your palm, your index finger will automatically go to the buttons and they are very tactile, so without any thought you know the up or down and power button. It has been hit and miss on other phones for me with rockers etc, and during certain operations rockers on the side just get in the way, so buttons on the back for me is an actual improvement and keeps build up of dirt in those places to a minimum.
The phone straight out of the box comes with double tap to wake/sleep functioning, so I mostly use that to turn phone on or off anyway. I also use knock code which again functions when the screen is off. If you've had a phone before rooted and kernal added this function, you'll know just how useful and easy it is, the knock code addition is a very clever way of adding to this feature in my opinion as it doesn't have finger print scanning, which still takes seconds to register so no big deal.
I don't know about root etc for 811 as I have H815, but just having a quick look there are methods on these forums.
I am still using the G2, before that I had the HTC One X. From the first day that I had my G2 I loved the buttons on the back, the double tap to wake is awesome.
I want to get This phone, but not being able to unlock bootloader means no CM / Vanilla, will be getting the H815P.
I have the luck of having the same phone for 20 months before I can upgrade. I can upgrade today, on my way out soon.
I really have fallen for LG, If South Africa had the nexus phones available on contract I would get one.
Unless you get the H815 there is no Roms/Recovery or Bootloader Unlock. Only root is available for other models which was fairly easy to do.
The button placement is the best place ever and I wish all manufacturers would transition to do the same. No more accidentally turn on the phone if you hold it a certain way or grab it from your pocket. Asus is also placing the buttons the same way as LG. Double tap to wake / turn off the screen is the best.
I would definitely opt for the LG v10 if you don't mind the phone size difference. Every reviewer picks the v10 over the G4 for best phone of the year. Especially due to the video recording issue our G4 encounters. Since I don't shoot much video I could care less however.

So now with root in our midst, and only about maybe a month of daily use and a few month of playing with it my G5 power button has almost stopped working. Where last week it kinda acted up and didnt even realize it yesterday it barely turned my phone on....had to press it really really hard....
Since i am on stock zv3 should i send it for repair to lg or just keep it, deal with it and/fix it myself. If being on zv3/upgrade to zv4 will get me root/ wifi tether (tether is what i care about really, and maybe play with some roms later on...maybe) id rather deal with it, but if all variants will have it might as well have it fixed i guess.
So what should i do?
Or anybody knows how i can fix it?
I know about the work arounds.....(double tap, powering up with powerd cord)

The actual power button doesnt work like other devices, the rear housing sits on contacts on the MB that link to to the power button, how hard you press shouldnt matter.

Well to power it on by the button....i've been only able to do it by pressing as hard as i thought i was gonna brake it. Otherwise itwont do it. I bought a button on amazon....will replace this week and see if problem goes away.

Replaced it with an Amazon one and hey the Amazon one is better. Still works but...the phone bootloops now...I guess 10 months is enough for an LG phone now...make them crappy so people can buy more is what lg must think. Never again lg ...I hate that I got my wife the g5 too. Sporting a mid price Moto g5 plus now that feels and so far acts much better (better GPS, battery and doesn't get hot) which heat probably made the lg g5 kill itself. It bootloops when hot no warning....

I am having the same issue... Why do i have to press so hard to get it to power on? If it is set up like you said, Its weird.. Also my fingerprint settings have disappeared from my phone too.. I have a LG Sprint G5 with zvc update.. I still have a lotta hope that this is something simple to fix, i guess, being that I rREALLY like my G5, its been my favorite phone for a while now, and pressing the power button really hard is enough to make me stop wanting to use it regularly, but i'm not selling it, and I am excited to get it fixed, if i could just narrow it down what precisely was wrong with it.
