Hi.
I recently got my favorite mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005. So far it has been performing fantastically!.
I had a few questions regarding the phone.
1) Does using an S-View Cover have a negative impact on the phone in the long run?
2) I was playing a game and tried to take a screenshot using the regular trick, Power + Homescreen buttons and while playing, I tried it a few times and it didn't work. I had to try the full screen swipe method to get the snap. Is this a problem?
S-view has never caused me any issues system wise, hardware wise without a screen protector it leaves tiny scuffs/small scratches on the screen.
As for the screen shot it's possible that the game blocks it. Could be wrong tho.

Just got my SGS2 and encountered a really odd problem.
When using the phone while lying down on your bed aka checking email in bed, the back key registers 2 key presses.
To reproduce it every time, just slide your finger slowly onto the back arrow from the bottom left.
This only happens while lying down and is actually pretty annoying because it makes navigating pages hard.
Anyone else have this issue?

Tried it and it's perfectly fine for me..

Actually, it happens both normally and upside down. Maybe time to get a replacement, can't be firmware right?

Maybe you should get a replacement.. Have you flashed or rooted your device?

A couple of old threads reported that the back button is not sensitive enough and sometimes would require 2 taps for it to register the command, must be something related?
When looking into buying an s2, I was considering buying a damaged one where the touch buttons wouldn't work. Upon researching so I could find a fix and buy it cheap, it turned out to likely be a hardware issue and on a side note, most of the people that had reported similar or same issues also mentioned using a third party charger/non samsung one.
Basically the kist of the signs of problems - charger thing, erratic touch screen behavior while using the charger, intermittent issues with the soft keys not working, and eventually failure of the soft keys.
But every post I saw resulted in a successful warantee claim. Hopefully the same can be said for you if worst comes to worst
Thanks for the replies,
The phone is less than a week old so I might just have it replaced.
The double tap issue only happens when lightly/slowly pressing "back". But that is very often since the touch screen is so sensitive.. I feel like this all started after upgrading from kg7 to ki2 using kies. Oh well..

Quick question for the community: Would rolling back to KG7 from KI2 using Odin void my warranty? I want to see if the problem was still there, because the phone came with KG7 installed 10 days ago.
I noticed how the touch screen immediately got much more sensitive (too sensitive for my taste) after upgrading to KI2 in Kies. It seems like it starts registering a press when a finger is just barely hovering over the glass which makes it hard to control and the capacitive keys super jittery.
Now, both the "menu" and "back" buttons registers multiple key presses if not pressing them super firmly and quickly.
I hate this stuff... I have never once bought a phone without running into stupid problems like this.
If you only tried to flash official firmware your binary counter won't increase so you can just return to stock firmware.. Check your binary counter in download mode, if it increased even by one use a jig to reset it to zero (with old bootloader ofcourse)..

I do have this issue too, but i'll just tap it very fast to avoid the double tap. Using stock from KF1 still.

I just figured it out. The double tap only happens when the lights are off for the keys. I switched to 6 s/always on and I can't get it to double tap by itself anymore. Worth trying for others with similar problem!

Hello guys,
After awhile of using the phone, I feel the power button sinking more and more into the housing. There is a lot less distance to click from now. From time to time (not often) pressing the power button does not wake the phone but that's rare. Anybody having the same issues? Should I RMA?
The N4's hardware buttons are pretty "thin", if that makes sense. If you're worried, you could try something like Screen Off & Lock (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en) to reduce the number of times you press the power button. I currently have a gesture set up in Apex Launcher to launch Screen Off & Lock, and it works nicely. I imagine you could do similar things with Tasker or GMD GestureControl.
I installed CM 10.1. It has option to wake the screen with the Volume Rocker.

Yeah I've noticed it on mine too.
It was very harder and more out when I got it. It'll probably stop sinking when it reaches a certain point.

Not used it for a while but I'm pretty sure widget locker lets wake the phone with the volume keys.
As someone else said it will stop dining after a certain point. I noticed the same thing on the gnex too

hi guys
i just bought samsung gakaxy note 3 N9000 (exynos version) 2 days ago and i noticed something weird with the stylus
there is a certain area of the screen (to the right exactly) that the stylus doesn't write properly i need to press hard on this area when i try to write or scroll and sometimes it doesn't write even if i pressed hard
any ideas what could be the problem??!!!
the finger touches work normally only the stylus
i tried to record it but all screen recorders require rooting and i don't want to root this phone now
i took a screen capture by "Screen Write " feature with the air command .... you can see clearly the area that has no Red lines in the right of the screen
thnx all
Looks like a defect

thank you for your answer :good:
the problem solved by removing the case
i read on another forum that some types of cases interfere with the magnetic field of the stylus
weird :silly::silly:
i removed the case and the stylus is working fine now all over the screen

Do you have a case with a magnet?

ya the Problem was With the magnet in The Case
Sadly I had to cut throw the leather of The Case To remove the magnet
from inside
Better Than discarding the whole case
Thank you all for your answers :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Just to contribute.
I tested mine out. Smooth all the way left to right top to bottom. Effortlessly registered.

Any case with a magnetic latch causes this problem, happened to me in note 2 .that area of the screen is exactly where the flip cover magnet button is when the the case gets turned on itself

Hi
I have an sm-n900...
I can see a rectangular smudge near the back button. It is almost the same dimensions as the back button but not completely coinciding with it. Its top edge is a little below the back button top edge.
If I clean with a cloth, it is not visible anymore. But once I start touching the back button, it becomes visible again.
Someone else seing this ? Is it some kinda sensor ? Seing it irritates me !!! Maybe coz I spend a lot of money on the phone.
Sent from my SM-N900 using xda app-developers app
capacitive sensor, it's on the menu button as well! can only be seen under special circumstances, but everyone has it! on my note2 it was a little more visible, till now I had 5 note3's and all of them looked equal to me in this regard (although other big differences, especially in screen quality)!

Hi
Well it cannot be seen for the menu button. But it is very much visible for the back button. And it becomes visible as soon as I touch it. Why should it be visible only for the back button...
Are you saying that it is visible on all the units ? Well let me see if I can get hold of another piece and see.
Sent from my SM-N900 using xda app-developers app
Huh? Hang on. *nicks magnifier* Yep, it's there.
Hi
What exactly are you talkin bout ?
Why is it that the same thing is not visible over the "menu" button ?
Sent from my SM-N900 using xda app-developers app
My power button has recently become sticky. It takes a lot more force to use it then it does my volume buttons. I tested the wife's note 3 and hers feels like mine used to. Anyone else had this happen?
