Should I return it?

Just got my note 2 & noticed a small discoloration in the volume button as shown in the picture.
Everything is working perfectly
Is it worth the return?

If it doesn't really require lots of hassle, i would ask for a swap.

If I bought it at a store, I would return it.

It will definitely go back first thing in the morning as I just found that the theft side of the screen is waaaay to unresponsive to the spen.
Thank you guys.

Guess what. ..theyre all not ve r y sensitive on the side of the screen with spen. Mines like they and multiple people have Reported this.
Search for spen sensitivity and you'll see what I mean

I know what you mean. My issue is different... attached is a picture showing the problem. I've tried 4 spens & 3 out of 4 showed the same problem

Oh now I understand..... Yes that's unacceptable
Return immediately

already on its way back

Holy crapola that sucks! I was gonna say (before I read all the way down) that I'm so anal with my stuff that I'd return it in a heartbeat. Now that I see the sensitivity issue I'd obviously return it like you did. Hopefully that doesn't ruin your opinion of the Note 2 though, because it's a truly awesome phone! I've had mine for a few weeks now and I don't know what I'd do without it anymore!

Well, I'm a huge fan of the note concept & I know that Samsung's quality control is very very good but sometimes you get a lemon & you have to deal with it.

I guess I'm just fortunate I never have these issues....how did you purchase in store. ...yet its later outside the store you notice something you SHOULD have noticed at time of purchase.............doesn't everyone inspect their device prior to paying and leaving. As far as the s-pen issues people should adjust their settings mines works just fine you have to tweak the sensitivity to your own UNIQUE handwriting style

bipoler: Sometimes new gadget owners fall victim to the so-called Gollum syndrome: their eyes enlarge, their skintone dulls and greys out, and their cognitive functions are diminished. It can last from a few minutes to a few days, and only the worse failures can stop the symptoms quickly, more subtle defects take longer.

Well I got my unit online from timo's website. Once I got the device 18 hours later it was on its way back. The spen issue is not just a less sensitive area... its a deadzone which the device just does not register anything.

Have you tried resetting? If you have, does it still do it?
If so, maybe take it back and ask for an exchange. It shouldn't do what you're describing.
Good luck!

Nope I won't exchange this unlocked bad boy. Maybe a reset but it hadn't happened yet

No, you wouldn't. To lock, you do fastboot oem lock. Also, if he still has his unlock token, he can always re-unlock.

It has inadvertently turned off data use. Mine did the same thing. Flip it into airplane mode, flip it off. I hope the bugs I am finding get fixed along with signal and battery life.

I've unlocked mine and some icon's have randomly moved screens. Not sure whats up with that.
Also today on my drive home I got the wonderful Droid DNA faint ringing thing (Google it). I'm assuming it was a temp warning? as the phone was warm since I was using google maps, streaming pandora, and taking some pictures of the sights every once in a while, all while it was plugged into the car charger.
Annoying thing is it wasn't just out of the handset. the constant faint ringing goes through bluetooth audio also so my pandora and navigation CONSTANTLY has this stupid ringing going on.
I disabled fastboot and shut it down when I got on a road that I needed to stay one for 100+ miles to cool off, powered back on and didn't do as much at the same time (Switched to my iPad to stream pandora) and it seemed to work fine for the next 5 hours. still not doing it as of now.
Anyone have anymore info on that faint ringing?

Wondering if this is a bug or just not something the ONE is capable of.
Focusing well, especially in Macro Mode. My previous HTC phones focused as close as 2 or 3 inches. My ONE has to be at least 8+ to focus.

Screen Sensitivity

My screen does not record every press. Never misses a beat typing but selecting a thread from a list or a tweet from twitter feed or almost any random thing the first click may not record. I have to do it again. I wish I could increase sensitivity.
Does anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

My Verizon note 7 is on the truck for delivery today. I will share my experience after a day or of playing with it. Since it sounds like I can't root it yet I guess I can't tweak it too bad. Do you have a screen protector on yours by chance?

I have the same issue. Typing is on point with every touch but I too am noticing I have to press 2 and three times on things like links and such.

I should have mentioned I had the VZW rep put on a Zagg but it had bubbles and was peeling so I took it off. Problem did not improve. The odd thing is it doesn't affect typing at all. I type fast and no lags nor unrecorded presses. It does happen randomly in any app or screen though. Never when clicking to open an app but clicking on a phone number in missed calls, clicking a link in the browser, clicking to open a tweet or tapatalk thread or basically anything anywhere on the screen. Not a dead spot. The second click always works. It's incredibly annoying when you kind of look for it to happen again and of course it does

MODERATOR - Would this be a legit topic for main thread or strictly a Q AND A thing? It would get more looks in a main Note 7 thread. Thanks

Are you going to keep or exchange? I'm not sure what to do. I love the phone but really hate this issue.
Some claim an update will fix it but I called VZW and Samsung tech support and both said they never heard of any problems at all with Note 7. How can I hope for a fix if they don't know there is a problem?

I've had the same problem. Glad it's not just me.

Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk

I have a case on mine also. I'm not sure about taking it back just because of the time it takes me to set up. I can't see it being a hardware issue because the same point of touch will work perfect on somethings but not on others. Kinda torn on if its worth the setup time to exchange. As far as tech support have they ever admitted to a problem with any phone lol.

Me too. The s7e was too sensitive an dpeople complained so they made ours not sensitive enough. I just wish there were a software fix but no root so no hope. OT but do you know how to get the Twitter app to automatically start on the most recent post? I keep missing the temp blue box that offers to jump to most recent post because of the insensitive screen.

What Kind of Idle Battery Drain are You Getting?

Went to bed at 920p with 45% and woke up at 4a with 25%. That should not be right. The first night I lost 8%ish. This is my third day with the device.
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Overnight, usually 6-7 hours, I'll lose 0-2% Definitely sounds like you have a rouge app doing some damage. I had that last week. Turned out to be a weather app continuously requesting location. I also turn off wifi and bluetooth scanning, as well as all the wifi request crap under wifi settings. Hope you get it sorted out.

Believe it or not, the native battery app monitor informed me of it. You may want to try the GSM battery monitor app from the play store to see if you can find out what's causing the drain.

Phone Microphone Not Hearing Me

When I make a phone call nobody has been able to hear me for two days. Just now when I did an OK Google voice command it didn't respond to my voice. I'm on the Beta 8.1.0 release. Any ideas what going on?

Been seeing posts about the microphones stop working and blowing in them making them work again.

My first phone acted this way, did an RMA for the issue. Haven't seen it with the new phone.
