Hi I have had my now 4 (UK variant) for 2 months now and have mostly found it to be great. Recently I have suddenly started to notice since issues ranging from the screen not waking up when you press either the power or home button, or they software keyboard doesn't disappear making it impossible to enter my lock code.
What gives?
Anyone else have a similar problem, solutions etc pls?
Thanks
Scott

Hi-was wandering if anyone can help. I brought a Samsung Galaxy Note a few days ago and was really pleased untill someone tried ringing me. When I tried to answer the call by pressing the Green Accept Call icon and sliding my finger (as per the instructions) I noticed that the screen didn't respond. The same thing happens when the phone is asleep and I press the home key to bring up the unlock screen to use the phone. I would have press the home screen twice before pressing my finger on the screen for the screen to respond.
The strange thing is I can do all the above if I use the stylus.
This leads me to suspect I may have a setting wrong.........can anyone help or has anyone heard of this?
thanks
I do not have a note but there are 2 places in the Galaxy phone where you can set screen sensitivity so I would guess the Note would be similar. One is in the secret code section and to be honest it has been over a year since I played with that, so you will have to look that up. The other was a normal setting menu I think it was in display settings but don't remember now since I have been on a custom rom forever. Google the Galaxy phone touchscreen sensitivity. I do remember this the settings I played with were too sensitive or to hard no in between. Not much help but it is what I recall.
Hi oka1
thanks for the advice. I rang up the retailer and described my issues with the mobile and they told me to send it back for a replacement as it is only 3 days old.
NP not much help I am going to close this thread since this is resolved

After updating my Samsung galaxy note, every time I hit the power button to lock the screen, it keeps flashing/blinking every 2 seconds asking swipe to unlock without me touching the screen. I would like to know if anybody is experiencing the same problem and if this is a software related issue, or a hardware related issue!
Thanks
Hi everyone, first thanks to all the people who are willing to help others with their S4 problems!
I have Telus version of Galaxy S4 and it is basically untouched (i.e. no root no modifications).
I have had a problem with the lock screen for past couple of days and tried searching the forum but could not find any solutions.
The problem is this:
In lockscreen, I cannot swipe to unlock the device from time to time. No matter what I do, pressing power button to get to lock screen again, it just won't respond to my swipe motion to unlock the device. This forces me to hold the power button and then click on restart. For some reason it will responds to me clicking on restart but cannot read my swipe motions.
Does anyone else have any similar problems? If so, any thoughts on the solution?
The annoying thing is I cannot replicate the problem but it will happen once or twice a day.
Any thoughts are appreciated!

Hey all,
I have my phone set at pattern unlock, the automatic lock on power button disabled and a 2 minute delay for an idle lock.
Most (but not all) of the times when I press the home button after I put it to sleep using the power button (but before the 2 minute idle time) the screen lights up, my last application is visible for a second and the it pops to the "Latest Applications" screen.
It's driving me crazy...
I've had 3 stock roms on my galaxy s4 and two kernels, currently running the adam 1.2 and the latest indonesia rom, and I've had this issue on all of them.
Does anybody else have this issue? Do you know how to solve it?
