Blue tint strip around the edges of the screen - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
When trying to swipe - with my finger - as much as possible to one of the edges of the screen, a blue strip appears.
You can check it by going in the stock browser or in Chrome ( easiest way to see it ) and trying to swipe as much as possible to one edge. For example when I swipe to the upper right, I see on the upper right a blue strip.
Anybody else has the same problem ( bug) ?
Thank you,
Daniel
Ps : When you zoom you see it even better.

Yes I see it, not sure its a bug maybe the screen light leakage / bleeding around the edges.

Are you guys talking about the overscroll effect..?

What do you mean by overscroll effect?

It's an over-scroll effect, not a bug/problem.

When you scroll all the way to sides of the phone (up, down, left, right), it comes with a glowing effect. That's to tell you that you've reached the end.

Pressing Buttons accidentaly while taking Notes

I had a demo of the Note a few days back, and i was simply unable to take notes/use S-Memo without accidentally touching the below capacitive buttons. Hence, every few words i write i hit the buttons!
I experimented for 10minutes but was not able to get hang of it.... Any way to disable capacitive buttons while taking notes OR does this even happen to you guys ?
Lemme know your views....
PS: I also found lags while writing
For the buttons I write in landscape mode.
The lag is obviously software fixable in future updates, since when you use the S mémo (hold Spen button and double tap on screen) ,which is basically a lighter coded Spen app, the writing is lagfree and seamless...
I find it very annoying as well. If you could rotate the screen 180 degrees it would solve the problem, I think.
I found an app "Orientation Control" by "Coin Soft" which offers multiple orientations rather than auto rotate.
Using the "reverse portrait" option solves the capacitive button option but the writing appears slightly offset (down) from where it should.
Frustrating!
Resolved in the new firmware 2.3.6

Yup, sure.
I found that after upgrading firmware via kies to 2.3.6 the s-memo no longer goes 'back' while writing on the pad. I deliberately tried to press back button when writing on the memo to test it. Only when you stop writing and lift pen or finger away from the screen, the back button can be pressed.
A particular app dev who has created an app for replacing the s-memo didn't agree with me on this. So I think other guys may not agree as well. I don't know, is the version different in different countries? I'm in India.

[Q] how to stop auto rotate landscape portrait

is there any way to stop auto rotate between landscape and portrait?
Yes all you have to do is press the cog or the gear looking button in the top right hand corner then all the way to the left side the 1st button it says unlock or locked depending if its already unlocked. press the button so it displays unlock this States that's its in the lock position set it to any you want then lock it

S-Pen Screen Write Option is Not Working!?!?

I have tried everything I know. I pull the S-Pen out and the Menu pops up. I hover over the Screen Write option and click the button on the S-Pen and the menu leaves but the phone does not perform the screen shot. I have also held the tip of the pen while holding the button the S Pen on the screen for 3 secs and nothing. I can screen shot by sliding my hand across the screen. All the other S-Pen options work. So, I think I have narrowed the problem to the phone not doing the screen shot after the Screen Write option is selected. My S Pen options are:
Pen detachment options: Air Command
Direct pen input ON
Pointer ON
Any help would be great, thanks!
hold the pen button lower the pen to touch the screen release the button..

Probably not related but, have you installed the Samsung keyboard update? My handwriting recognition wasn't working until I installed it.

Air Bubble around the Home Button

I found out that i have a little bubble at the upper right side of the Home Button....is there anybody with something similar ?
It became quite annoying as i tend to look at it instantly when i use the phone..
Don't look at the screen shield, i removed is just to check then i managed to reinstall it but it's way too far from perfect...
is it under the screen protector or actually under the screen?

It looks to me as you have a screenprotector applied, look in the bottom right screen corner where its cut. Never seen or heard of bubbles in a glas screen itself
