[Q] Screen Issue

Hi,
I've been viewing the forums now since the phone was released and haven't seen anyone come across the problem I have now.
Basically, the screen will swipe and press things on its own without my input. It happens everyday but not all time.
I have a rooted 2.3.3 R800i from UK with locked bootloader.
Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

This happens to me when there's moisture on the screen. Wiping it off always fixes the problem. Make sure your fingers are dry when using it.

Thanks for the suggestiron, however after trying this the problem still occurs.
So now I tried changing the screen protector but nothing has changed.

Yes it's similar. Except its not just typing, it can be on the homescreen and my widgets/icons open on their own without me touching anything.

I had this exact problem too.
It seems to be fixed with the newest firmware upgrade we recently got.
My guess is that it is a touchscreen hardware problem that they have managed to fix via a software solution.

ok, I might have to try the update then.
Only problem is will it wipe off my root?

Confirmed
Not as bad, but the problem still persists.

Waiting time for screen on.

I have tried kj4, kka and sheep rom. All have the annoying long wait after pressing power button intil the screen is lit up. Also tried different CPU governors without result. What is the problem here? And can it be solved?
Is it just me, or do others experience this as a prob?

I've got the same rom, but I don't see the problem you described.... try to reinstall the rom.
ps: you should post this under the thread of your rom, without creating a new one

You may have a defective device.

mine is like 2seconds after the bootanimations and stops at samsung logo..fast enough for me

I have the same problem with my note. I just got mine yesterday. No clue as to what's causing it. I updated my firmware to the latest but left the old kernel so i could keep root access. Had the same problem with both the new and the old firmware.

Just to clarify the issue here:
When the phone is on but screen has been off for a while, the time between pushing pwr button and until the screen lights up is about 1 second, it may not sound much but it just enough to make one press the button once again. Not what i am used to on my previous androids from HTC.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

Same here. KJ4, stock KKA and sheep KKA. It is annoying indeed...

Probably a user experience thing, you guys who claim to NOT have the issue:
Can you lock the screen and wait for like 10 mins and then on the screen again and time the delay from button press to screen light-up?

Where do you come frome? I mean are u used to Samsung devices or something else?
I am judging this by my 2 previous HTC's whith all kinds of different Roms where I have never seen this.
My thought is that it is on all notes but some people does not see it as a problem but you and me do.

I am having the same issue. Takes 1-2 seconds until the device is fully powered up from standby...

I think I figured out the issue. I disabled weather on the lock screen and now my phone comes straight on. Maybe everyone with the issue can try that and see if it works for them?

Confirmed, getting rid of the weather on the lock screen gets rid of the lag

I'm having the same prob. I'll try removing the weather app and see if that helps.
Great no I cant remember how to remove it. help

Settings, Display, Screen Display, and uncheck weather.

Nope still does it, 2sec delay.

nope mine is snap on... did u try turning off display animations? if not try it

This was there even on the s2..

yea, mines also has the same 1-2 sec delay. no weather on lock screen. found it odd, cause i've only had HTC phones so far, and never saw this.

Samsung don't use early_resume in the kernel, that Seems To be more qualcomm Related code.
It's that Code that gives you instant screen resume on the HTC devices et al.
I found this a niggle on the note as well, but have got Used to it,especially compared to amount of work it would take to fix it.

Wich rom are you in? With several roms (as it was with ICSGS, fixed in newer releases) it can be a common software issue. How exactly is the "flicker"?

Oh sorry I was using tapatalk and didn't see the sig. Most likely to be a software issue, don't worry! I'm on ICSSGS, and it should have it already fixed, but still happens now and then... Don't know if it's the same kind of flicker, but it definitely seems software, and even more if you are using a custom ROM... Have you search in your ROM's thread if anyone else have the same problem?

calibrate screen sensitivity?

Hello everyone,
Curious if anyone is having the same issue as me? I have tried multiple roms, stock, with and without kernels.
I am having some touch issues. Either I have to press harder then normal at times or multiple times for my press to register. Its getting quite annoying. Not sure if this is a defect or if i can modify something within the system files to make the screen more sensitive or if there is even a way to re-calibrate my sensors/screen?
Thank you in advance,
DFL

Did you figure out what was wrong? ... It just started to do the same with me... Even to right this was a pain in the a$$...

Well, I've rebooted in recovery mode, wiped the cache and it's back to normal now... I know it's just a temp solution, but you might wanna give it a try

hmmm... wiping cache fixed? i bet systemcleanup active would help then. I will take your advice and try out that app systemcleanup on my tab. I use on my phone Nexus S just didnt think the N7 would need it due to its specs.
Thanks mate, ill give it a go.

I had the same problem. So annoying. Take it back dude its detective.

I have the same issue but sparingly, turning my screen off and on fixes it for me tho.

Has anyone decided if this is a hardware or software problem? I've started having the same issue. Turning off the screen sometimes fixes it for me but not always. A reboot always fixes it.
Like just now... I was playing Zenonia 2 and in the middle of a battle I suddenly couldn't get the touchscreen to respond. I hit power to lock the device and immediately tried to turn it back on with power again... but I couldn't even get the unlock screen to work. I set it down for about 30 seconds and when I tried again it was fine. I pulled the game back to the top and it worked fine.
When this happens the "soft" buttons (back, home, etc) always seem to work just fine, so I'm inclined to say it's really a software problem.
Running stock + root.

My thought is that it has to be a hardware issue, or if everyone with the issues is rooted than it could be from the root. My device has fantastic response however I am not rooted.

I would think hardware as well, but the home and back buttons always work and they use the same touch surface...

I got the same thing here and rebooting appears to fix it. Sometimes it is so bad that I cannot move icons from one screen to another.

Did you guys try flashing stock 4.1.1 using fastboot or the toolkit? If that does fix it then its probably hardware problem.

I had the same problem ! solved by turning off the screen and turn on it

I have the same issue and mine isn't rooted yet so I don't think it is an issue with that. A wipe of the device doesn't help but a reboot usually does. This is my second N7 as the first was a warranty replacement for the headphone jack issue. The first never had the issue so I think it is an issue that should be addressed. I am outside my 14 days so I might have to go through Asus now.

For what it is worth, I just called Google and they are going to send me a new one. The lady that assisted me stated that she has had a few complaints with this issue and that they just replace it. N7 #3 should be on the way in a couple days. For some reason she said that the device wasn't set up properly in my profile so it will add a couple days to the process because of the long weekend.
Not a big deal. I have lived with it for a while now. At least they appear to be taking care of it and I wasn't transferred to Asus. At least yet.

[Q] Keyboard bug?

Hello every one. This bug has been present since my phone did its first boot. Apparently, when my keyboard retracts or disappears after I'm done typing, it leaves a big white block behind it for a few seconds. You can try using the Facebook app. Search up a name, but don't click on any one. Then hit the back/down key. (Software buttons). If you guys don't have any problems, what are your suggestions? I tried asking this on the "help" thread, but no one would answer me. Thanks!

Bump! Am I the only one with this!!?

It looks like this....

I have honestly never seen this

Yea I get that, lasts for maybe half a second for me. How long is yours? I don't think I'd be able to take a screenshot of mine its too fast.

Mine lasts for 3 seconds at the most took me a while to finally take a picture of that white block lol.I just got lucky perhaps. Its odd this happens though.

Try updating to 4.2.2 if u haven't already? Or try a keyboard from the market and see if its still present on that?

Yup! already had the OTA update. Its still present. I also tried swiftkey 3. It didint fix it. I may have to end the keyboard process to reset it, but apperently I cant because its in use in the backround .

DO you think I just have to live with it then ?
