My primary smartphone (Yes, I'm an addict with several ) is a Galaxy S III.
I bought it upon release from AT&T my carrier of many years. It's been a truly great phone, but now I am extremely interested in buying a Samsung Note II. Upon going into AT&T, spending at least and hour with the Note II, the only concern is a rather disappointing level of touchscreen sensitivity.
Being used to my SGS III, I expected the same touch experience on the Note II. Yet what I did experience was a rather inconsistent level of responsiveness. Sometimes when touching a link to invoke it to open, it would do so, other times it would not respond.
Determined to make sure it was the Note II and not me, I asked to try another activated unit. Long store short, after trying three different Note II's, as well as the store demo SGS III, in every case the SGS III was just like mine... more responsive, and consistent with it recognizing and responding to every command I gave it.
Any feedback, comments or help with this would be greatly appreciated. I really want to buy a Note II, but fear the lack of responsiveness would really be bothersome. Oh... and one final point. If I deliberately zoomed the "unresponsive link" to a larger size, then it responded just fine.
Thanks.
I love GMD spen gesture controlling app.
Samsung has made things in these phones that the finger touch will not work when spen is on screen. It's pretty much super and useful. But, I saw GMD gesture controlling app working while I'm writing in the screen with spen. It's an error. But here I'm not asking you to fix it. I appreciate it, because you could do it with your app. Now what I need is that, air view feature without spen. The Note series models (NOTE2, 10.1,8) uses the same features that xperia sola or today's release, s4 for the air view. So I think that Samsung had restricted finger air view feature for the promotion of spen, same as restricting finger touch while s pen in use. Since GMD gesture controlling app could remove the restriction of finger touch while spen in use, I hope that you could do this too(air view without spen). so I request you to try it. So can you?
I guess bumping up the touch sensitivity could do it.
But there are two problems:
1. I don't know if the sensitivity on our device can go that high.
2. There is no supported software. You won't get previews as the software on the Note 2 is build for Air View by the S Pen, and would not recognize Air View with a finger.
But, s4 has same technology..

But, s4 and note 2 shows same software features in air view. S4 is by hand and note2 by s pen. Also, the technology is same. What I guess is that Samsung would make it happen in next update. But I wish to get it early. The update will take2 months or so long. They will need s4 to click the ground.
Take a look at this thread

Edit: Most of the features announced for the S4 will not come to previous devices like Note I & II and the S3. Not officially anyway, because that would harm S4 sales.
So...don't count on official airview on the Note 2, ever.
Maybe Note 3!

But the software wouldn't know what to do with the finger hovering, devs will need to rewrite parts (if possible, I'm not sure) so the app would pop the text/image/anything else.
Always, the profit is for Samsung

No it's not the truth. If companies fear such type of sale affection, apple wouldn't have provided the iOS6 update for previous iPhone models. The note 2 released with unique multi window feature and see currently the previous released s3 and note 1 got it. Also, if Samsung fears the affection for their super phone, then they wouldn't have released the galaxy grand. We should think things in the other way, if the update bring same features of s4 to note 2, n2 is going to be the best with unique spen features. It may affect the sales of s4, but it never affect the profit if Samsung. Whatever the model is, phone is of Samsung's.

Any source and note 2 features like air view came to note 1 and s3 also then why we will not get s4 features?? Maybe we will get it after some months or so...
The S3 does not have air view.
@OP
Note 2 is bigger and has double the RAM of the S3. Plus the S- Pen.
So they have no fear to also boost S3 a bit as well.
But the S3 and S4 do not have many differences in hardware with each other so Samsung has to make them a bit different also software wise as well as hardware wise because the hardware is not improved enough for an S3 owner to make the jump.
This is my thinking.

But Samsung released galaxy grand at lower price specs same as s3. for Samsung, all those are not a problem. If they consider so, then they wouldn't have released the updated touchwiz upgrade for note1. Note 1 and note2 look pretty similar.

Samsung will release an update by the end of may that is after two months of s4 launch.

i think it is possible on the s4 beacause it has a more sensitive touch(u can use it with gloves)... and that is a hardware feature, so it is not likely that our note 2 will have it ever...
Can anybody help me to get this feature? I want to open popup note without using s pen's done tap. What I mean is a way to add shortcut in home screen

Samsung vp confirms that s3 will get features like air touch with the help of front camera maybe.

hi i bought a s4 mini yesterday and searched everywhere but there is no "eye scrolling" feature, all i see is smart pause @ the smart screen settings... Is there a way i can get those options?
(i only see one option at the smart screen settings)
Only the S4 has such a feature. Samsung did not include those features in the S4 mini
That´s true, only the S4 have "Eye Scrolling" & "Smart Pause" and I think S4 mini never will get it official.
Does anyone know why this feature is left out of the mini?
this is marketing
Could be several reasons. There are sensors on the S4 which don't exist on the mini variant in order to downsize the phone and also allow the phone to last decently long enough with the smaller battery as well.
Also, the S4 mini is not their top-of-the-line phone and so they will not include all the features of such phones in their midrange products.
Marketing, as bog said.
I have a note 4 thats messed up. I use it as a tablet.
Should i: exchange it for a Verizon Note Pro, exchange it for a Tab s 32gb wifi, or keeping the note 4.
On my note 4 i use it to draw [sketchbookx + spen], youtube 1080p +, videos of my memory card [720p or less Quality], music, and a lot of browsing.
Of note i use the multi window feature alot, running several things at once. I also like how they minimize to a bubble if u need to get it out of ur way but dont want to closw it.
Note 12.2:
PROS: spen. Bigger canvas. possible update to note 4 muliti window
Cons: not a samoled screen, maybe outdate by now?, older Snapdragon chip, older software
Tab S wifi:
Pros: samoled screen
Cons: not a note device. Exynos chip. ill miss my muliwindow.
Any help?
Heres whats wrong with my note:

I would say, you should buy a Tab S, because you can also buy a pen for this tablet. Well it is not that great as the one is for the NotePro, but at least you can also use it like a pen.
Multiwindow feature has been ported to the Tab S, also the NotePro keyboard, so no problem with this things, maybe have a look here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/prerooted-stock-touchwiz-rom-t2973107

Why do you prefer the Tab S? Just because of the screen?
Can you give me some info on the pen fof the Tab S? The pen's quality is much more important to be than having a samoled over Lcd. I really dont mind an LCD screen, ive had an ipad before.
I would prefer a Tab S. I may be a little bias because I haven't owned the note one. However the only thing the note has over the Tab S is the S pen. (Please correct me if im wrong) Which has no use to me. So if you really rely on and would like the s pen then for that reason alone I'd imagine the note would be the smarter choice.
Unless your able to somehow use the S Pen on the Tab S. I don't think so but it's weird because when I was freezing apps to debloat I came across a file or two for the S Pen. No idea why.
But what does the Tab S have over the Note Pro 12.2?
Ive seen how nice the screen is on the Tab S. I havent seen the notes pro's screen but i have used a ipad air. So im ok with a LCD screen. The note has the same resolution as the Tab S just a slighyly lower ppi.
So the Screen being "better" isnt enough of a reason to me
Lets say both are the LTE models from Verizon, what does the Tab S do better?

I'm assuming you're talking about the Note Pro 12.2" right? Well, the Tab S is thinnner and lighter than Note Pro, and just overall nicer to hold in the hands. I used both side by site at the official Samsung store and the decision was pretty easy.
I don't know how youy can say screen quality isn't important. The difference between AMOLED vs. LCD in Note Pro is night and day. This was one of the deciding factors for my buying a Tab S instead of the Nexus 9.
Unless you REALLY need the S-pen functionality, the Tab S is the superior tablet. I owned a Note 2 and only removed the S-pen from its silo exactly 3 times (1. to make sure it was there when I bought it; 2. to make sure it worked with Evernote; 3. to show it off to a friend).

I do actually use the spen a lot. Think ill try to get the tablets next to each other to see if the screen rly makes that big of a difference.
Yesterday, I posted a message in this board about a theory i had...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...rry-note-8-t3490413/post70701827#post70701827
Top of the Page...
Now, here's some news for the Note fans...
Today a Video was released of two cases prepared for the two upcoming Samsung Phone Models which will be released soon..
and Guess what?
The bigger case has an "S-Pen" Opening...
Video: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzbccI2ykLA"
Just sayin!
PS: Here's the theory I posted yesterday:
Theory based on Internet Rumors:
Rumors:
- Samsung is working on a S-Pen for the S Series... (you guys remember this one right?)
- There will be 2 S8. One normal screen, QHD, and another 4k.
- S8 won't be revealed next month. (not a rumor anymore).
Theory:
Around April or May, Samsung will reveal both the S8 and the Note 8 at the same time. The rumor about the S8 Edge with an S pen is in fact the Note 8 itself. There won't be any "bigger version of the S series anymore like the edge. It will be flagship and the Note. Which makes sense when you think of it since Samsung will abandon the flat screen, they don't need to separate the "Edge" series anymore. Why not just have one single event, less confusion, and have 1 S phone and 1 Note.
So this year we will get a Note way sooner. Around May or June, same time as the S8. That's why they postponed the S8 presentation.
Correction, both cases have an "s-pen opening". The s seris don't come with s-pens, it is just not the s series. So why would those be s-pen openings?
This is not a new rumour by the way, it has been speculated it is that but many then thought it is not.
I DO wish your theory was true and I will be over the moon if it is, but I don't think so. I think we will have a Note8 in December.
It could be true if Samsung would launch a phone with foldable screen this year.

I don't understand why they just don't tell us their plans. At least a hint. The least they could do knowing many of us are waiting to upgrade. Honestly I don't think my phone will last long enough if they don't step up the pace with the Note8. And I don't think s8 will be worth the price compared to Huawei P10. If it is not a note, it may as well not be Samsung.
If they do somehow release them together then that for me is a no Brainer on the one I'd choose ?

There is no way Samsung would ever make things that easy or put themselves on the line for possible new unresolved bugs so soon. If you want a note eight you better have fixed your own note seven yourself like the boss you are and get ready to sit tight for August / September release of the note 8 if not later. Unless you want to jump ship or use inferior hardware.
