Is there anyway of converting S4 to tablet screen?
I've seen certain phones are capable of this, also I've heard of the Samsung Spider Laptop. So wondered if there was any device which would enable this.
Wait for ParanoidAndroid, I suspect we will see a build before too long. Especially on the I9505.

I think you misunderstand me, I mean the S4 would in someway output to a hardware tablet screen. Like the Asus PadFone 2

hi! is it just me, or has anyone seen yellowish/brownish parts on the LCD of the galaxy tab? Does this mean that the LCD is defective? Although tolerable and unnoticeable unless you look closely, should I return this to samsung? or is this normal??!!!
First I heard of that.

Mine doesn't have that problem. I would get a replacement.

Where have you been putting your tab :S
He's been taking it to the john.
Does anyone know of any way to get better digitizer accuracy on this tablet? If I draw diagonal lines with any kind of stylus, the lines are always wavy and it's extremely frustrating to attempt to draw anything. I rooted my tablet in order to use the screen calibration tool in the market only to discover that it doesn't work on the tab 2... I guess I'll have to stick with drawing on my much smaller galaxy nexus for now.

The screen is accurate enough. There's no need to calibrate your digitizer, because the problem is - STYLUS.
Try to draw something with just a tip of your finger, it would be more accurate than a draw with a cheap stylus.

I have to disagree here. I've tried both dagi and cheap stylii, both have the issue on this tablet. If I go to my galaxy nexus with the same stylii, guess what? They draw straight lines.

The original galaxy tab 7" had the same issues, and the screen calibration app in the market allows adjustments to it to make it better. I have done a lot of reading on this and the difference these adjustments make is drastic. I wanted to see if anyone knew of anything similar for the tab 2, but instead I am met with people who are eager to reply without even doing the minimal amount of research or even have any clue what they are talking about.

It looks like the tab 10.1" also has this problem:

The touchscreen calibration information seems to be stored in melfas.bin firmware file since the tab 2 uses the melfas touchscreen driver. There's nothing to be found in the driver source or in sysfs. I've looked.
But you're right, I probably don't know what I'm talking about.

Was referring to the guy who told me I was using a cheap stylus when I never stated what I was using, and used both cheap and high quality stylii. It's frustrating to look for answers first, then ask questions, then have someone answer with false assumptions.

Dralanmage, did you ever find a solution to the screen calibration issue?
I notice that the majority of the screen is accurate. However, the edges are out by almost 0.5 cm. I verified this by tapping settings, developer options, show touches. I'm using the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7".

Nope. The screen is fairly accurate with a finger, but always draws wavy lines with any kind of stylus. Even with a finger, the lines are wavy. However, the amplitude of the waves is much lower so it's not as noticeable.

Same with the vzw tab. Scrolling in landscape is annoying as hell unless you add more finger surface area..

I guess that's something we'll get with the next update (hopefully). That is assuming it's got to do with camera rather than any other sensors.
I don't think airview will work well with your finger as your finger or a capasitive stylus requires too much real estate to register. Where the s-pen can be very selective due to it's size.
This has been made on some devices, but I'm not sure the Note II's screen is compatible.
As far as I know the Spen has an onboard transducer that communicates with the phone, so unless you embed a transducer in your finger it's not gonna happen anytime soon.....lol.
I think he means the same feature on s4.
It should be possible for the note 2 as well unless the screen technology on s4 is something completely new.

My apologies - I did'nt know the S4 could do that, but I'm pretty sure the note 2 talks to a transducer in the Spen - read it somewhere.

After tinkering with the nexus 4 wih custom roms, kernals, tweaks. I have yet to find a solution to fix the responsiveness of the screen. I have gone theough 3 nexus devices so far. The first nexus had issues with speaker producing static sounds, second device had a malfunctioming screen , third drvice has 2 dead pixels. Okay, so I guess LG has serious quality control issues. But the responsiveness of the screen has been terrible on all the nexus devices I have had, even with the roll back screen driver available. Just a simple comparison to the galaxy s3 shows how weak the responsiveness on the nexus 4 really is.
How is the screen responsiveness on your nexus 4? And what had you done to improve it?

It was good, but after upgrading to a 4.3 custom rom it has hugely improved. Sad for you having this problem.
4.3 ROMs are much snappier and the screen is just too good.
I've always disliked the lack of responsiveness of the touchscreen on this phone. Every time I use my girlfriend's Galaxy Nexus it feels significantly better. I do have to admit that I missed that screen. The transition from gnex to n4 was weird in terms of color and touch

My nexus 4 has no touch responsivness issues neither on 4.2 nor 4.3.
As for my old galaxy nexus, there is a whole thread about touch sensitivity droping, and only fix was turning screen OFF then back ON. My gnex suffered from that and it was really annoying especially when typing

When I got my nexus4 it a sort of downgrade in touch respond. And I came from a Galaxy s. Im used to it now and 4.3 is better but gnex just feels better

I found that the upgrade to 4.3 caused a big improvement in touch responsiveness.
I'm pretty surprised they have built the screen in this manner. Try using a stylus on the the nexus 4, it doesn't even register until you press it down. Even my old nexus s had a much more responsive screen. Its pretty dissapointing , good overall phone bottlenecked by a weak display.

Does anyone know if there is a way to get a s-pen to work in the Galaxy S4 sgh-I337? Please let me know, this is one thing i miss so muvh as well as S Note. You don't realize hiw important it is once you don't have access to it anymore.

This is the wrong thread for your question but to answer it, unfortunately no there isn't a way to get the s-pen to work like it did on your note. The S4 doesn't have the digitizer to for it. Your best bet for a stylus would be a capacitance one.
