My screen has been acting weird the past few days
Either it won't respond to my fingers or it goes crazy doing **** like pressing letters I didn't touch when I'm typing or opening apps I didn't click, not sliding from screen to screen and opening apis instead
Home key and back key opened apps instead,idk what to do

the youtube video of the pre-release GB update said the screen responds better to the first touch....I have not updated to GB yet....but that should be your first move.

The quick search box is by far the single most annoying thing on this phone. Not a feature I could ever find myself using, even if I knew how to use it properly. If I hit the home or back soft button, at random times it comes up. Some times I have to hit back or home 5 times or more to get back or back to the home screen. Some times it seems like it depends on how you hit the soft keys and sometimes I can not get the quick search box to come up no matter what I do. Am I the only one having this issue? Anyone have any insight on this?
The only time it comes up unexpectedly for me is when I touch the magnifying glass by mistake. If your phone is mixing up the buttons you should probably send it back.

After trying my brothers Captivate I found that if I push on the home or back button with any sort of force beyond a light touch the magnifying glass is blinking on my phone, activating the quick search in a handful of programs. Looks like I have a defective phone. Anyone else have this issue?
My quick search only launches it I top the magnifying glass soft key.
A long press on the Menu key will also bring it up, by design, a carryover from the I9000 since it doesn't have a dedicated search key.
@clay I just tried to replicate that but tapping hard on the home and menu keys. There is a creak from the back cover's latch but none of the other buttons activated. I don't see why they would since they are not resistive. Pressure should have nothing to do with it.

This is more of a question then a problem. I am running Vegan but have also seen this behavior when I was running TnT Lite. When I boot my G-Tab I seem to randomly get two different lock screen's. Sometimes I get what I call the "iPhone" lick screen that looks like an iPhone. It's in portrait aspect and has a slider the if you hold the G-Tab in landscape must be moved from top left to bottom left. (Note that it's sideways when you hold the G-Tab in landscape)
The other lock is the Vegan lock where it's 2/3 of the way to the right side when holding the unit in Landscape aspect. It's got a lock slider on the bottom that must be pulled up toward another button the looks like a speaker.
It's not really a problem to unlock the G-Tab either way, but it has me curious since it seems random which one you will get each time you boot. It's even more off that I get this on both Vegan and TnT Lite.
Any Thoughts?
Hi kmclaren,
I'm sorry that no one responded to your post. I am also using Vegan, and also wondering about the screen lock slider. Actually, I don't need that feature, and I'm trying to find out how to disable the screen lock, so that I don't need to do the slide motion.
I believe there is a program called "nolock" that will eliminate the lock screen

It seems that every few days my Sprint Nexus S gets hung on the home screen, and I can no longer swipe to change screens. If I hit the bottom right and left buttons, I can manually change the screen, but swiping left or right changes nothing.
Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if it's getting too bogged down with open apps. Coming from the Epic, I was constantly closing apps from the Program Monitor, which isn't on the Nexus S.
I did some searching to see if this was possible on android and couldn't find any good info.
I am still not used to onscreen keyboards and on the One S in particular I keep hitting the home button when I type (it has happened twice since I started writing this)
Am I the only one with this problem? Does anyone know of a way to disable the home button when the keyboard is up?
Thanks

It seems like a good idea, but is probably very hard. The home button is kinda coded to work the same way always, regardless of what app is open
Yea I kinda pressed the home button too at first but just practice typing without trying to hit the home button and you should be all set, its not easy to type without pressing the home button but it takes some time to get used to...

It's damn near impossible! Been using touchscreen keyboard on different phones for years (how I miss my G1), and never had this problem...I feel like Homer trying to phone his children in that one episode of the Simpsons...."mash the keypad to continue"
Try SwiftKey keyboard, it detects where spaces go so you don't need to press space

Hello,
I've been using my new note 2 for two weeks now.. and I like it so much
I also used sgs2 and 3 before.
I'm not new to android.. I flashed roms, know every single setting in the device, rooted my sgs2 and tried lots of apps to customize them.
Regarding my issue, I like to set my device to none screen security because I always manually lock it with a press on the lock screen button after I do whatever I want to do with it, and to unlock I always press Home button to get back to where I was immediately without the need to swipe the lock screen.
The problem is when I lock it and there is an app running and then press the home button the screen goes to home default screen and do not just unlock the screen and keep it there where I was last, this was not the case with my sgs2 or sgs3.
If I press the lock screen button instead it does what I want but I prefer to use home button because its much easier.
Its not a big issue but its annoying sometimes because sometimes I get popup notification windows while the phone is locked (whatsapp for example) and I press the home button to see it and instead of just turning on the screen to see the window it goes back to home screen and the popup is gone, or in cases where I'am writing an email or reading something and meanwhile talking to somebody, if the screen gets locked, If I press the home button everything is gone. So I have to switch tasks to open my activity again.
I don't know if this is a jellybean issue or hardware (homebutton).
I know its not a big deal but I would appreciate if somebody can help get around this
