I lost my Jam today and I am thinking of replacing it with a typhoon (qtek8020 right?) because I found it second handed cheap. Has anyone of you regreted buying this phone? Will I miss many of the features of a pocket pc? Is the only difference the touch screen? Have you guys upgraded to wm2005? Stable? Fully functional? I'm sorry for asking so many question but i really would appreciate any help.
Thanks
i have a JAM and an SP3.
i think the major difference are the input methods.
keyboard Vs keypad.
if you use it for minimal email etc etc, you won't miss the stylus.
if you do a lot of typing, the JAM is more suited to you.
You could always get an IR or BT keyboard for it.
Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with my digitizer on my 8125. I am wondering if anyone has experienced this, and if anyone knows of any workaround, short of sending the unit back.
After the unit has been great for a month (summiter's 2.17), all of a sudden, when I use the stylus in teh lowe right corner of the screen, it senses the pressure about 3 milimeters to the left.
Therefore, it's almost impossible to use the right scroll bar, if that makes any sense.
I realigned the screen.
It was fine for about 30 minutes.
Same problem.
Reset.
Fine for a bit.
Then same problem.
Now, I bit the bullet, and did a hard reset.
It was running so nicely, but I had no choice.
The digitizer was fine for about 30 minutes.
I was pretty happy...
And now... SAME problem.
Only in the bottom right of the screen, like usual.
Has anyone heard of this?
AFTER a hard reset, before installing apps???
If you think there is a solution, please let me know.
If it's a case of back-to-Cingular... So be it..
but I figured i would ask the pros before sending it in!
Thanks!
Mike
Oops!
Wrong forum!
I have a wizard!
Sorry, guys!
I WISH I had a universal..! Why doesn't it work at 850MHz??
Bye guys!
Mike
No. Wizard uses a TI OMAP850 processor, which runs at 195MHz. Universal has an Intel Xcale PXA270 processor, the variant that runs at 520MHz. So... yeah.
Hi All,
My 838 Pro has lost the rubber piece that holds the stylus in place. Rather than continually replace lost styli, can anyone suggest a place/part number/any information where I can get this part to replace?
A million thanks

I have had my thinkpad tablet for a while now and I have found that the stylus will work for a short while if it hasn't been used in a while then it will jump into one of two modes the first being that it has no pressure sensitivity and the second is where it just doesn't work at all (usually it will eventualy settle on the not working at all phase). I am wondering if anyone else has run into this? Is it a problem with the tablet or the stylus? I have already passed my warranty period so unfortunately I can't get them to fix it. The new stylus is 40$ so it would be nice to see if someone else has run into this before spending the money.
Thanks!
Just thought I'd mention replacing the AAAA battery under the red cap before buying a new stylus. Also, some folks have found the tip of the stylus can become unseated and requires pressure to get it back in place.
I just noticed the s pen tip and floating pointer on screen are always off by 2mm. This occurred on both my ATT and T-mobile note 3 so it is not an isolated case. Anyone else experienced this issue? What is your fix?

Same problem here, no fix yet

Thank you for confirming this. I wonder why they don't have a digitizer calibration feature in setting like Windows?
From a technology point of view, due to the way the S Pen works, it should not require calibration
In laymen's terms, think of capacitive touchscreens, which do not require calibration, the first reason is because capacitive touch sensors always have auto calibration, the second reason is that your screen is divided into multiple rows and columns, so even if a measurement is wrong by 10%, that 10% over a small area is not really noticeable
With the old resistive touchscreen technology, calibration is required, because the screen is one gigantic resistor and 10% error in measurement means a error that is as big as 10% of your screen size. Also resistive touchscreens are constructed with two layers and these layers get bent, and wear out over time.
The S Pen technology is elecromagnetic, and it also sort of uses multiple rows and columns ("Under the tablet's surface (or LCD in the case of the Cintiq) is a printed circuit board with a grid of multiple send/receive coils and a magnetic reflector attached behind the grid array."), thus, it is similar to capacitive touchscreens in the sense that measurement errors are usually unnoticeable by the user.
Thus why nobody implemented calibration
If I were you, I'd exchange the phone for a new one if possible.
I have the feeling this is an issue with newer builds of touchwiz. On the note 8 once it was updated to 4.2.2 the pen was accuracy became offset. The only fix to it as of now is running a custom kernel that fixed the accuracy. Hopefully we get a similar fix soon from xda and of course an official fix from Samsung.

I think this is a design feature. If you change it to left handed operation the pointer will be 2mm off to the right instead of the left. I recall this being so you can see the dot instead of being obscured by your own hand and pen. This was the same on my Note 2.
This should only apply to the pointer though, not to an actual touch.
EDIT: THIS WAS SO ON MY NOTE 2, but upon checking it is not so on my NOTE 3. My pen dot lines up perfectly.
I know this is an old thread, but there are always new owners to an old device.
If you have an SGH-I467 (AT&T) version with 4.4.2, the right/left hand dominant switch is not available. The workaround would be turning your tablet upside down with the auto rotate enabled so that your app would be right side up again. What you achieve here is moving the pointer from under your nib, if you are right handed, to the other side where you can see it so that you know where to drop down your pen to start drawing.

If you have an SGH-I467 (AT&T).
But this is not the forum for that model .
