Develop Bugs

Just received my Otterbox Commuter

It's really nice except for one thing, the button covers make them really mushy. There's almost no tactile feedback to pressing the buttons (volume rocker or power) It's not a deal breaker but it's pretty disappointing. Also, if anyone was wondering there's no cut out for the 3 pin connector but it's not like anyone expects docks to work with cases anyway.
I'm debating whether it's worth it for me to go to the VZW store and check out the Defender.

I agree on all the negative points (really hate the buttons) and have to add that the rubber flaps that cover the Micro USB and headphone jack, while a nice gesture, is more trouble than anything. I don't like having to keep plugging the holes and if you leave it unplugged, it just hangs loose and looks weird. It seems like they really didn't want any holes at all on the sides which is why the 3 pin connector is blocked as well.
Noting that, however, it looks slick as a result. Very nice back design and fully black all around -- it's a solid case in it's look and feel.

pictures or you don't have it. ;-)

The only camera I have right now is my Nexus so this is the case obviously without my phone in it. Trying to show the thickness by comparing it to an Xbox 360 game case.

And I have to agree the back is really nice with the brushed finish and it's pretty much fingerprint proof. The plug ports are a little annoying but I'm not sweating it.

S pen acting weird

My devil of a son threw my new phone on the floor and cracked the screen pretty bad requiring me to change it. Left a big hole in my wallet too. After changing the screen, I found that my s pen is acting a bit weird. In air view mode, the dot is off by around 2 mm.
I also noticed that the pen sensitivity has also reduced.
Is there any fix for this problem?
I have tried using reset s pen app from the market, but it doesn't seem to help either.

First; turn on auto rotate if it's already on turn it off and on. Then go to display setting and recalibrate horizontal and gyro, finally go to your home screen and scribble the spen around the screen with it held at all angles and draw into the corners. If this doesn't fix it then maybe it's a hardware issue.
If the sensitivity is not right there are two options I know of; open open up the cover/button and adjust the dial underneath, or do as I did and slam the spen quite firmly onto a hard flat surface. (I actually layered mine between two coasters to protect the funny shaped end and hit the side with it at about a third the strength I imagine youd need to break it - it worked wonders for mine. )

Thanks for all your suggestions. I Did what you suggested. Claibrating the gyroscope dis nothing much. Slammed the spen but doesn't help.
Opened the spen and tried adjusting the screws inside... Didn't see much difference.
Guess that leaves me with the only option of heading to the service center and talk to those experts out there.

I dont want to create one more thread, so i will write about my problems here. I have similar problem as OP has.
My wacom sensor behaves strangely in the corners and the edge of the screen.
Here is a picture that demonstrates the problem clearly. All the lines should be straight, but they are not.

Can it be fixed?

[Q] Top speaker louder than the bottom?

My top speaker (near the camera) is louder than the bottom one. Is anyone experiencing the same thing? Maybe the bottom speaker is quieter because the USB port is sharing the same space.

Yeah it seems slightly quieter. Hard to notice unless you look for it.

anybody else?
:fingers-crossed:

I just realized this as well while listening to some music. Is it normal though?
Nexus 7 FLO

hopefully that is normal. I wonder if the top speaker is one large unit, while the bottom speaker is 2 smaller units split by the USB port in the center. i guess we'll know once someone opens it up.
Edit: ifixit already opened it up.

The 2 oval things at the far left and right are the speakers. Left one is the bottom speaker (near USB port), right is the top speaker.

No, the speakers are kind of weird. For the top speaker there is a single speaker in the middle of the perforated back.
But for the bottom speaker, the speaker is off to the left side of charging port. I can't even tell for certain if the sound is able to come out the other side do to the USB port being in the middle and those speaker holes may just be there for aesthetics.
Just is just my interpretation from the ifixit tear down.

I bet the speaker placement has something to do with the simulated surround sound...

I believe it is because the opening is bigger on the top than on the bottom. Covering up part of the top speaker opening seems to prove that.

NVM I've come to the conclusion too quick. It is still louder on the top.

is my s6 defective?

I received mine early, next day delivery.
The phone works great, except for the camera. It has issues auto-focusing. If I double tap the home the camera remains unfocused for a lengthy period of time. Sometimes it will remain unfocused. Doesn't matter whether it's attempting to focus near or far, set to auto or selective focus mode, or opening from lock screen or camera app.

Did you remove the plastic?

I LOL'd then realized I haven't taken mine off either, yet.

Wow, I feel like an idiot.
I didn't realize there was a small bit of plastic attached to it.
It would explain why the focus worked when I "cleaned" the lens.
Also realized there are 2 pieces of plastic, on both the flash and the lens.

The plastic on the camrea doesnt cover the lense, so what the point of removing?

I made a post on this in the main S6/Edge section. I'll make it in here too. Be careful not scratching the lens or flash. The flash one is very hard to get off. Stupid Samsung doesn't put tabs on them so it would be easier to pull off.
You don't have to pull them off but I like to since maybe it's causing a glare.

I have a faint white line next to the tower. Not sure if it's because of the protectors.

So I removed both covers, and it's helped some, but the auto-focus is still a little slow.
Here's the screwed up part, if I pick up the phone while facing screen side up and then double tap the home, the auto-focus is sluggish (takes 2-5 seconds to focus)
If I leave the phone screen side down and then flip it up, double tap home for the quick cam, the auto-focus is quicker (camera is already focused by the time the screen activates).
If I flip the camera screen side down while it's having trouble focusing, the focus may catch and actually work.
I don't think this is normal.

Question Questions about Fold 3

Hi there, I've been waiting for the S22 unveil to see if it has a notch or not, and unfortunately for me, it does. So I'm now looking into the Fold 3, but I haven't got one in my hands yet, all I know is from pictures on the internet. A couple of questions I have, how noticeable is the camera hidden behind the screen? And, how noticeable is the crevice in the middle of the fold screen after a few months of use?

It's a lower res part of the screen (when opened) over the camera but to me it's not noticable

do you really disregard specs and choose your phones based on the notch? if so, there are phones without any notch at all like Asus phones.
Back to your question, you barely notice the notch when you're using the inner display. Actually you don't notice it most of the time because of the immersive experience

100% they did a good job at hiding the camera on the inside screen. You have to look for it in order to notice it. All your screen activity plays over the camera hole. So while I'm writing this it is currently the exact same grey as the rest of my notification bar. If I'm watching a YouTube video. Don't ever see it.

It looks like dot pattern circle, but it's not a big deal, to be honest.

Unless you know where and what to look for, you won't notice the camera notch and it it much better then punch hole. As for the crease in the middle, as long as the screen is in front of you, you won't even see it. For me it is much more bother to the finger then to the eye. Any way if you're into foldable, you wouldn't care about these.

I've had the Z Fold 3 for a couple of weeks now. While the underscreen camera is noticeable, it is much better than having a holepunch in your display. The crease is noticeable from certain angles, but once you are using the Z Fold 3. You will start to notice it less. These are all my perspectives of the Z Fold 3 for now
