Annoying S Note zoom bug :( - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone who is right handed has probably noticed the INCREDIBLY ANNOYING zoom bug you experience when writing in Snote after reaching the bottom of the page.
For some reason palm rejection goes haywire in the bottom right 1/3 of the screen if you rest your hand while writing. Everytime you put your hand down to write the screen zooms. Turning on and off pen only recognition makes no difference.
Have no idea how to fix this and am open to suggestions. Hopefully Samsung will address this in their next OTA.

Lock to s pen only at top right corner. Not much else we can do before a new firmware update. I hopefully it's jellybean

Yeah its a bug. Locking the pen has no effect. I'll go to Samsungs Facebook page and post about it. We just have to wait on new OTA.

Oh good its not just me. I didn't remember this being a problem before or after the update but then it just happened. Really upset me to say the least.

Yeah the whole zoombox "feature" is an epic fail.

[Q] Face unlock on Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0)

My mother just got a Galaxy Tab 2 7 inch and saw that it had ics on it. I have always wanted ics becuase of face unlock. Does anyone know why the Galaxy Tab 2 doesn't have face unlock?
Probably cause it sucks with vga cameras.. I have face lock on my sensation, and but disabled it after a few days cause of crappie results. Sensation has a vga front camera as well.

its a pretty pointless feature imo. badly implemented and not secure at all. and if you are using it, have to turn a light on so it can see your face so no late night tablet while your lady is sleeping next to ya, gotta leave the room first lol

Eventually face lock will default to draw or pin if it can't see your face, but still a pita at night.

It is also disabled by other devices probably because it is extremely insecure.

Tapatalk runs like garbage on VZW s3, anyone else?

It gets to the point where I can't scroll down it lags so bad and then it eventually force closes. I've only heard one other person complain of this same issue with a semi solution of force closing it and clearing out cache in app manager, but it happens so frequently now. Ugh. Anyone else have this problem and maybe a possible solution?
yeah my xda app does the same thing (tapatalk hosted I think) I was wondering the same thing.

There has been threads on this.. i think the new version is broken..esp on picture heavy threads
Ran like crap on my Inc with ICS too. Just installed today's update of XDS, hopefully it's better.

Yes this is a dupe, something isn't coded properly in the app it seems. Hopefully the last update fixed it, I haven't had any issues since the update.
Edit: update did not fix it, mine just started lagging again.

Mine works great, even on pic heavy threads.
I've had the last 2 or 3 rapid fire updates. But I haven't had any issues w/ tapatalk ever.
Tapatalk has been ****ty for the last few weeks. The most recent update seems to have cured most issues, although I have the occasional lockup still.
Def not a gs3 problem though. My note and razr do the same thing.

When this happens to me I just kill the app and reopen it and its much smoother.
Sent from my Thrive using Tapatalk 2
Seems like when I ask it to do something before it's finished loading, it crashes.
Other than testing my patience, it's chugging along just fine for me. I rarely use it though.
It's the app and not our phones. Same thing happens on Nexus 7 using Jelly bean, which is super smooth in every other app. I'm half tempted to just use the website but XDA is a pretty heavy Site.

I have more of a issue that I saw the CPU used to jump to 30+% while idle
Not for me! I just came from the Motorola razr and tapatalk ran like crap on that! Runs like a dream on the gs3
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
This is why I use XDA Free 1.4.2
Didn't have any of these problems. I edited the app name so that it wouldn't bug me for updates and I've been a happy camper since!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA App
Tapatalk = garbage. Xda needs to get a mobile site so we don't have to use this trash.
When this starts happening, I suggest you go to the applicationxmanager and clear the cache for tapatalk. Clearing the cache has considerably helped the app perform fadter and smoother overall.

Scrolling is very sticky

I've noticed that when scrolling through the XDA app that it is really sticky. Is it the app or my phone? I'm stock rooted with Google wallet & Google now running
Thanks

Haven't tried the XDA app, but Tapatalk is miserable. They are basically the same aren't they? I hate Tapatalk so much, but it's the only thing like it out there. So many issues like force closing, pictures not loading, lag and sticky scrolling like you mentioned. Don't know what to tell you. I've been dealing with it for almost a year now.

I've used Tapatalk as well and notice the same thing. I don't understand how scrolling text can be so sticky. It's so irritating that I tend to wait until I can get on my computer just to view the latest info.
The XDA just behaves poorly on our phone. I notice a good deal of lag within the app on a daily basis, general performance just isn't that good.

I'm not sure what's meant by sticky scrolling :-/
As in you can't throw the page when scrolling and it continues moving? Mine does as usual with Euroskank's build, unsure if that's related

Anyone ever hear of finger touch being unresponsive while S-pen functionality remains perfect?I don't mean you have to thump it to get it to recognize a touch,I mean NO TOUCH WHATSOEVER....zilch zero nothing.....I've flashed stock ROM,checked settings in every app that could be involved... I'm baffled.This Note is about 9 months old.Daily driver is Jamison's AOKP JB 4.2.2

Sounds like the capacitive touch digitizer is bad.. This has nothing to do with the s-pen digitizer ...Have you dropped it or banged it around much. Maybe its a loose connection ... Just thoughts. but 8 months old its under warranty still. Call samsung.. Boohooooo

Was the tablet connected to charging? If yes take off the charger and try.
Remove tablet from any magnetic case amd try again as well.

Well I tried those things unfortunately they didn't work Thank you for responding though .went ahead and ordered a new digitizer on Amazon there's a rather long video showing how to repair it.wish me luck

You are MOST DEFINATELY gonna need it. Would be easier to restock and get fixed under warranty...
Well this guy video is ultra high def and it really doesn't seem that hard. I have the tools also. I flashed this thing about nine times I don't know if they would honor of my warranty or not. I realize I could use triangle away...

Well when it rains it pours... Now my battery doesn't seem to be charging. Do they just die?

[Q] Possible Power Button going out????

So lately ive been flashing roms like crazy trying to find the perfect one for me, and ive been having some issues with the phone locking up after i locked the screen and trying to get it unlocked again. the haptic buttons light up but the screen stays black. Just now it happened and the camera flash blinked a few times. It may just be a glitch within the rom. Im using Beanstalk 2.5 at the moment by the way, but have read where the power button could be the issue. I've looked at prices online for it and have seen it for $.99 to as much as $40. dont know what the difference could be in them unless they do the work for you., which just curious but how hard/easy is it to replace?
Thanks!
This doesn't sound like the power button at all. Look at vincom's stickies for the symptoms and trouble shooting.

If you are running a CM base rom, CM has a bug where the phone won't wake from sleep. You have to force reboot.

If you just wait about two seconds your screen will come on.
