Hi guys,,
I'm really happy today as I got rid of the newton rings from my tab's screen
The steps I took to fix the screen:
1- Hardly throw the tab on your bed and repeat it about ten times
2- as soon as your done from that you will notice that the newton rings had disappeared, run as fast to the fridge and place it there,, make sure you arrive to the fridge before having the newton rings showing up again
3- keep it for about 20 min
And here u go
Good Luck,,

How do you know? I contacted Samsung support and they fixed my tablet which had newton's rings.
Not so difficult , I just took it to samsung service center and they changed the Display in one hour only, the new display has a different quality and no issues so far. (Indonesia-Jakarta)
But the problem is I got my Tab from amazon (US),, and I'm living in Bahrain,, does anyone know how much it will cost me to fix it ?

I've got the same problem, my Tab comes from US Amazon and i live in Ireland.
I thought the procedure would be more like: 1. Open window. 2. Throw tab out window...
I found moving to a higher altitude and cooler climate made them go away, but when I came back home, the rings returned. So I sent it off for repair to Verizon.
Solution!
I caught the famous newton rings two days ago after 2 months of ownership - and paniced at once. I read about all the disappointed users and returns and repairs. And decided to do the same. Got a ticket from the berlin workshop, that officially repairs for samsung. But i like experimenting. So i followed some leads before sending in. Put it in the fridge, warm it up on the heating. Both had no effect. At first. Disappointed, I let it lie beside my keyboard and continued working. When i looked at the 10.1 after 40 minutes again, the stain, that measured 2,5 * 5,5 cm in the morning and rather grew bigger when trying to treat, was shrunk to 1*3 cm or so. I did not trust my eyes. After another 10 mins, it was only the size of a fingerprint. And then - the whole screen totally went back to completely normal on its own. No rubbing or pressing could change that development.
My conclusion, and i can not believe, that samsung has not published that quickly and clearely, is that it is a moisture-problem. The weather these days is moist and also, i worked with the tab in moist surrounding lately. The "healing" set in, when i had the tab heated up to ca. 30 - 40 degrees celsius and then let it rest for some time with no cover in a dry room at 20 degrees celsius.
Try it before complaining, if you can live with thecircumstances. I do not know, if the replacement-screens of samsung is different, new at all or only dried by samsung... i will not send in mine anymore.
I can confirm, that the healing by administer some heat is permanent and also by doing the fridge and the heating again after the healing, i could not provoke any stain again.
Good luck!

Dude how many threads do you want to fill with the same rubbish ... And for your information. It isnt moisture, but display layers which overlap due to deformation caused by heat and pressing.. So heating or pressing does not help. Fridge or just waiting to cool off would have helped though.

Well, just wanted to make sure, everyone that searches for can find the info.
It could be an expansion - recompression phaenomenon, but why is it that temporary and why doesn't it appear whenever the battery becomes hot.
There must be something like whater vapour or air pressure be involved too. Even if it is not moisture, that can be forced out,
Something is gone, after heating the whole tablet up and coolimg it down again slowly.
Coud be only tension, but i doubt it.

It is air. And as I said. Heat influences the displaylayers, so they expand and touch each other at some point. Cooling them off resolves the problem. If you put heavy things on your display (ie. during transport inside a bag) this could increase the problem, as the layers get deformed.
Put a couple ice cubes into a plastic bag (or whatever container to prevent water from leaking) and place it on top of the ring. The temperature drop will cause the screen to contract and pull it out of contact.
Worked for me
What do you think about using suction effect with a sucker for glasses?
This maybe would work on newton ring to detach the glass layer from the other lcd-layer.

Not much: since the reason for the rings seems to lay behind the screen (swallen batterie?), when the suction goes, the pressure from behind reappears...

WHAT? You have done this?
Dude, the reason the newton rings leave is because they are heat related. So you could do what your doing and break your tab in no time or you can just let it sit on the bed for a while and the same result with occur.
Use your head.
Interesting story, thought I'd relate.
So I was at home yesterday, playing with the s-pen keeper.
I took out the s-pen, turned the screen off and walked around.
I could walk roughly 18-20 feet before the alert fired off. Fair enough.
So today, I was driving home, and halfway there my phone made some noise I didn't recognize and vibrated.
Got home, pulled my phone out - s-pen alert! Huh? I didn't remember pulling it out.
Drove back to work, looked around in the parking lot.
Just on a whim, went back inside and looked in my cube - and there it was, on my desk.
So I managed to get a good 40 feet away from it before the alert fired off.
Still though - that's wonderful! Any alert at all is fantastic.
- Frank
This phone has so many bells and whistles I can't wait to get my hands on one.....
That is SOO cool! So does that mean that the S-Pen has/is electronic? Because I remember someone else on another thread saying it wasn't, but the fact that the note II knows how far away the pen is and features activate when you press a button must mean it has some gizmos inside there, right?

It doesn't know how far away you are.
It knows if you pulled out the stylus.
It can also kind of guess whether you are walking using the accelerometers. (similar to how pace counters work).
I managed to drive really far away before setting the alarm off, because it looks for an up/down forwards movement, I guess.
- Frank
it goes off after about 10-30 shakes, depending on how the phone moves.
I did a dumb thing when I first got my Note II, I pulled the S-Pen out and walked away with it, wondering why I wasn't get an alarm!! Why did I think the pen would make a noise?! Doh!

Actually, there is a bluetooth spen available with mic and speaker. And it would be quite nice if the pen could make a sound or something to help you find it.

Wacom technology uses magnetic resonance.
So if you have the stylus close enough (1 cm?) It creates a feedback loop and the Note knows the stylus is there.
I don't think there is enough intelligence to determine how far away it is even if you are that close.
And more than an inch away or so and you're out of range totally and it's all over.

if you're having problems with choppiness, light touches, or having to press hard for your pen to register a touch you can adjust the sensitivity easily.
this search for a fix started when i found my gn2 would stutter when getting into the "zone" and start randomly causing accidental touches. from the gn2 forums i found that the sensitivity can be adjusted via a potentiometer in the pen itself.
on my gn10.1 i found the pen too sensitive. in order to draw the thin lines i had to almost hover over the screen and in doing so i ended up with choppy thin lines. after decreasing the sensitivity i can now draw consistent thin lines after adding just a smidge of pressure.
to adjust the sensitivity you'll need to remove the cover of the click button. a razor should do the job. the fastener is on the back end (towards the samsung logo). a little upwards force and it'll pop off easily. after removing, you'll see two pots. the one on the left is the one you want to mess with (dunno what the one on the right does).
using a small screwdriver turn the pot clockwise 1/8 a turn at a time to decrease the sensitivity, counter clockwise for increase. find the setting that suits you the best and reassemble. this trick kept me from making a trip back to the sprint store and exchanging a phone (no replacement stylus yet).
How did you find out about that?
it was in the gnII forum. no pics there though. he just said pop off the button and adjust the left potentiometer. thought i'd elaborate a bit here.

yep, it just pops back on. put the little notch under the front (towards the pen tip) first then snap it back into place. i've done it with my gn2 and my gn10.1 s-pens so far. i'm pretty sure all wacom pens would be able to be adjusted the same.
Just another little tip while removing the button. Place a piece of scotch tape on the bottom portion of the button. The first time I removed it with a razor blade, it went flying towards the kitchen. Luckily it landed in a dirty glass instead of down the drain.
Great tip!!
Could you please show some photos of the button?
Thanks!

Oh this is great! I wonder if this will work with the Wacom pen we've talked about in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931137
I popped open mine, and the pots are side by side like in the Note Spen. Hm, I don't think the screwdriver I have for my eyeglasses is small enough though.
Don't own a screwdriver small enough. Will try getting one tomorrow. Since putting a screen protector on I find the s-pen less sensitive ; hopefully this will help.

I had an old Lenovo ThinkPad one where I had lost the button and used a rubber pen grip to use with my note when I first purchased it, the sensitivity and offset issue prevented me from using the pen and I had never thought about adjusting the potentiometers until I saw this thread.
I adjusted the sensitivity as detailed and it worked! I still had a problem with the offset where the pen had too much of a distance from nib to where it wrote so I thought to myself, maybe the second potentiometer that we were told not to adjust will resolve this problem and then thought that I've got nothing to lose with this old pen and gave it a shot.
I can confirm that the Pen now works flawlessly as the other potentiometer did indeed adjust the offset.
I now have a pen without the button for when I take intensive notes and no longer will be pressing the side button by accident which used to screw up my notes and was annoying, now it's a thing of the past!
If anyone wants to adjust the second potentiometer, my advise would be that you use the right size screw driver and make small adjustments, test and readjust as per the op.

I know this is yet another touch issue thread, but this does not have to do with phantom touches, and differs slightly from another the touch/responsiveness thread in that I have reproducible steps. I actually posted this in the touch/responsiveness thread but I would like to get more visibility to see if this problem is universal, and maybe determine if it is a hardware issue or hopefully just a software/firmware issue. I can reproduce this without fail, as can my friend on his n7. Please try the following things and report back your results:
If I lay the tab flat on a table, unplugged, and touch it with 1 finger, touches are only registered maybe 70% (give or take 20% every 10 samples) of the time.
If I touch it with 2 or more fingers, no issues at all.
If I'm holding the tablet in one hand and touching it with 1 finger, no issues.
If I merely touch the case (not even the screen) with one finger while the tablet is flat on a table, and touch the screen with 1 finger, no issues.
If the tablet is plugged in, no issues at all in any scenario.
This sounds like a grounding issue, which I've experienced on other devices (my HTC Incredible had this I remember). It makes it difficult to use the device when you just want to check something while its lying on a desk without actually picking it up. I don't know whether firmware actually affects something like this (for example some code that controls what sort of capacitive requirements are necessary to register a touch).
I turned on
Show touches
Pointer location
in developer options
and performed your test.
I did 1 finger 15 times, 2 finger 15 times 3 finger 15 times
I tried with it flat on table and then separately holding (so basically 90 samples)
Every touch registered based on the output from "Show touches" and "Pointer location" against the backdrop of an empty home screen
I've had phones/tablets in the past where the touchscreen became a little spasdic when plugged in a charging but not when unplugged (not saying it isn't happening for you, just my experience)
this happens on a lot of devices when flat because you just dont press the screen as hard. especially when you are trying to just barely brush the screen. solution: touch a little bit harder, works 100 percent for me
Mine works great when I try this. No issues I can find.
[Update]
Meh Kinda iffy. Mostly works. Definitely missing a few touch inputs this way. Maybe 1/10 touches, but seems only in the top part of the screen close to the border. I've actually hit it 4 times in a row and got nothing.
I'm using Yet Another Multitouch Tester and using the paint portion and just tapping on the screen.
I have 100% tap rate when I hold it with one hand and tap with another. But if I lay it down on a desk and tap the top left/right corners, I'm getting misses. The rest of the edges and screen are perfect. I'm only seeing misses at the top corners really. The drop rate isn't enough to cause an issue and there may be other factors at play. I have Sidebar and Android Notification shades and CM10.2 kangs AppBar, listening for touch inputs on the edges. Something could be off with them stealing the inputs, maybe.
Or it could simply be something screwy with the screen. But oddly it works perfect with a second finger or a hand supporting it.
I think this is pretty normal, as said earlier. Capacitive touch screens work by detecting the electricity from your body, if the "circuit" isn't "good" (laying on wood) then it will have a harder time detecting touches. For me, it is well within range of acceptable. I almost NEVER use the tablet when it is laying down anyway. I can only think of a few things that would allow me to use it while laying down, handsfree, and if it misses once or twice, big deal.
I was laying in my bed last night trying to type a comment out but noticed that it kept missing letters even if i slammed my finger against the screen lol. Definitely noticeable too; not just 1/10 times. But I did put a spigen screen protector on there and if memory serves me right I didnt have any issues when a screen protecotr wasnt on it

Laying in bed holding the tablet with 1 hand and typing with the other causes letters to be pressed that I don't physically touch. No screen protector here. I'm also having incredible difficulty in getting long presses to work properly (I would say on this tablet I trigger them every 2 out of 5 tries) which is a problem I've never had on another device.
I removed my screen protector and no more one finger on the table unresponsiveness..... Now the hunt to find a screen protector that doesn't block the grounding of my finger....

I have the Asus official ones. I'm pretty sure all plastic ones will thwart electrical signals in some way. The only one that won't is that glass one.
Although the issue is such a rare occurrence that I can't justify spending another $20-$30 bucks to perfect. I'm pretty sure its normal.

I had the dry SP on.. so removed it.. and tried.. all fine. Tried with a New SP on. Still everything was A-OK.
My tab is a D60 batch or something.
I'vehad the Note 4 for a few days and the S-Pen feels quite loose to me. It can even move around a 1mm when in its silo.
I compared it to my friends Note 3 and it felt very tight. It also feels much more tight when inserted with no movement.
Anyone with the same problem?
I'm just concerned that it will get only worse.

Try putting the pen in with the button facing down. Seems if it's facing up, it does jiggle a little.
It actually feels more firm with button facing down. But it doesn't solve the problem completely in my case
lol, same story here. just wanted to create a tread...
i have 3 note4's at the moment (due to display problems): 2 of them have loose spen, at one device it sits tight like on my note3!
a solution is to put one or two layers of transparent tape around the silver end of the s-pen, although i do not prefer this method
as it looks not good...
I decided to return my device on Thursday since it was actually bothering me, but funny thing is Samsung is still claiming it is not a defect and studying my case. They even went as far as show me another unit with the same problem.
I really hope upcoming batches will have it ironed out.
Does anyone know a solution in fixing the loose s-pen? The one with tape doesn't work out well, and is not really aesthetic...
Have you tried comparong inserting the S-Pen with the button facing up and facing down? I had the same problem on my 10.1 2014 and it was much tighter when the button was facing down in the case. I know it's not a solution, but it might help.

Do about 20 jumping jax with phone in hand. If the spen slips out of place its a defect.
You could then argue it has s heath and should allow you to run with device.
Mine is snug, my Note 3 was a bit loose but it never fell out or anything. I guess if it's inside the silo and doesn't slip out with normal usage it's not a defect.
i added now one layer (one wrung around) of clear tape (which i do not like aesthetically!!), and now the spen sits tight.
button up or down didn't change anything for me...
now, with the pen tight, the device feels a lot more "solid", so for me the loose pen is a defect...
maybe adding a point of glue would also do the trick, i will experiment a little with that...

Please don't use glue in your brand new device. Get it exchanged!
Can someone define 'loose s pen'? I put mine in pressed in all the way. If I wiggle my finger on it, it slight jiggles, but not to the point where it falls off. I have never noticed this on any note before. I wouldn't say its a defect, but more of an annoyance.

Hi i have 2 seperate questions about the S Pen. 1st. Has anyone removed the button on the pen to try to adjust the potentiometers for sending the pen thinner or thicker? I saw a pic of a note 4 S Pen with the button removed on this forum somewhere 2 days ago & it showed the pen having 2 round very small adjustable screw like things & they where explaining which way to turn the front one to adjust it, but I removed my button just to look at it & in my S Pen there is no adjustment mechanisms at all & there's only one round thing total so I'm just curious to see whether it's the same for all note 4 buyers or not?
2nd. I thought I heard something about Samsung developing & very soon making available for sale a newer updated S Pen for the note 4 & note edge to include Rotation & Tilt which was originally supposed to be included with both phones on release days of each. Does anyone know any info at all about this?
