hello everybody.
i'm planing on purchasing a herald device anytime soon. before doing so i was wondering about the resistance of the screen. how do you guys carry your device around? i'm the type of guy who simply slides it into my jeans pocket. i was wondering if this might be a problem with such a big screen. (i currently own a nokia N70... which btw is so slow i didn't know that it was possible to build such a slow device in the 21st century... anyway...) obviously i haven't had any screen resistance problem with my N70 due to the solid screen.
i currently alos allways place a self-adhesive clear screen over my screen so it doens't get scratched, and replace it from time to time... how do you handle scratch issues?
hopefully you guys can shed some light on the issues above. thanks a lot in advance.
ohh and while i'm at it... i was hoping to use the herald with the least possible stylus interaction (allready checked the phone pad thread for one handed sms .. is it possible to use most core functions for daily business (calendar entries, phone calls, sms writing, etc) without having to use the stylus (how painful is it?) and or doing so one handedly?
Not sure exactly what you mean by :screen resistance", but if you're asking does the screen scratch easily, the answer is no. I never use a case and always carry in my pockets or in my hand I've yet to scratch it.
And as far as using the stylus, I never have to use it. The touch screen is good enough where unless you are editing a large spreadsheet or something really small and tedious, you'll probably never need to use it
I always carry it in my jeans pocket without a problem yet. Also, I use a Brando Screenprotector (http://shop.brando.com.hk/screenprotector.php) to protect my display from scratches.
im quite new to the wizard world (but LOVING my xda mini s!) ive been sifting though this great forum and others for weeks now looking for good advice and tips( this one the most helpfull btw) on some other forums ive read snippets that the case supplied with the mini can cause damage to the screen due to the magnet fastner on it. now be it my paranoid mind but, the last few times ive retrieved my beloved mini from its padded home im sure that the colour of the text at one point in the screen differs. can anyone confirm or disband this? be gratfull for your input before i go shelling out for a new case.
It did not happen on mine but following the laws of physics: there is a chance under certain circumstances. You can recreate the case by taking a large speaker and move it around your tv screen or pc monitor - how ever, the chance this happens might be 1:1000 and should have its reason in a too strong magnet on your pocket - After a few hours away from the pocket this colored part on the screen should disappear again ...
You can prevent it from happening by putting the device in the pocket with screen to your body / belt, so, that the magnet is on the back of the device and not on the screen.
Just wondering if anyone else is have this problem. My s pen starts writing from about half an inch from the screen which make sit hard to to write a neat note. A while back i downloaded a smemo.apk for 240 dpi and that when it seem to start doing it I have tried a full flash of stock rom but still doing it.
It happened to me too, Samsung said that it's because some S-pens have trouble on its sensor. You can ask Samsung to change S-pen for you, change until the problem is gone xD. That's what i do with mine.
Ok i thought it might be somethimg like that I ordered one from ebay the other day. thanks
try disabling auto rotation..
and choose again which dominant hand in pen setting..
if you used magnet case it would affect the s pen sensor too..
Your pen is bad, a few of these threads have poped up. With a working pen you can take your fingernail and push in the tip and it will work like yours is, from far, yours is just stuck in.
You can try and take it apart (there is a post around here with instructions) and reset the tip in the rubber grommet it sits in if returning it is a issue.
Touch Screen Tune
I use Touch Screen Tune (for Galaxy note) to fine tune the pen.
And it became much better.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The tip of your s-pen is pushed in and stuck, which makes the pen think you are pushing against the Note. Not sure how to get it unstuck, but that's definitely the issue. It's happened to a couple of people.

I also have the same problem..some guy posted a video on youtube as well..its a faulty spen...
Hi All.
Funny enough i have similar issue. My pen from time to time is oversensitive. I have been playing with it to check when and how does it happens. And i discovered that my spen has an allergy on me. I mean its me or my static charge is affecting it. Whenever i had such an issue i had to touch somethin metal or somebody to discharge myself. Or just put phone on the table. Whenever i broke circuit (i havent touch phone with both hands) or i disperse my charge spen started working again.
If you have such an issue try this out or even pass the phone to somebody else to check if the issue still stays with somebody else. I have been in touch with Samsung and they offered me a new spen so when it arrives i will check this out.
I got the same problem yesterday, i bring my note to SC and the customer service just laugh on me and told me may be my note is the new note 2 because it can hover
Anyway they replace it free of charge, thanks samsung
Oversensitive SPen means that a coil broke inside your pen, whice alterates the internal capacitance. Must be careful when carrying your pen, avoid drop it to the ground and so on...
I have had my thinkpad tablet for a while now and I have found that the stylus will work for a short while if it hasn't been used in a while then it will jump into one of two modes the first being that it has no pressure sensitivity and the second is where it just doesn't work at all (usually it will eventualy settle on the not working at all phase). I am wondering if anyone else has run into this? Is it a problem with the tablet or the stylus? I have already passed my warranty period so unfortunately I can't get them to fix it. The new stylus is 40$ so it would be nice to see if someone else has run into this before spending the money.
Thanks!
Just thought I'd mention replacing the AAAA battery under the red cap before buying a new stylus. Also, some folks have found the tip of the stylus can become unseated and requires pressure to get it back in place.
Hi, my good old HD2 screen broke upon its 453535th falling on the floor.
RIP?
Maybe no!
I thought a good use for this broken (but still functional) HD2 could have been as a dashcam.
Under Android it works great and the visible broken glas is surely dissuading thieves to try to steal it.
The only caveat is that it is a bit lenghthy to start manually the dashcam app...
Do you think a kind of autostart-autosleep on external power would have been doable on Android?
Just being curious.
