Hi guys,
Im coming from a Galaxy note. Ive noticed that S-Pen on Note 10.1 requires some pressing to register an input either it is navigating through the UI or writing. It wasn't like that in Note. I have also noticed that scrolling, if done with s-Pen, is quite laggy and it stutters.
Has anyone else been experiencing the same?
Nope, no issues here. Could maybe be a screen protector issue or pressing the button before the pen is close enough to the screen to register. Turn on the hover for the pen in your settings to make sure the pen is close enough.

I have not applied any screen protector yet.
Hover is already turned on.
The point is that scrolling and navigating the UI is not smooth if done with S-Pen. It has to be pressed quite hard. In case of finger, even a slight touch gets registered. At least that's how I feel.
Just try scrolling / navigating with S-Pen using the slightest of pressure possible.
Another thing! You cant quite flick the screen for scrolling with s-pen like you can with your finger which is bcoz of the same issue i.e., s-Pen requiring extra pressure.

Although I have no issues with scrolling with pen and it just takes a medium to light touch, I prefer to hold the pen in hand and use the little finger to flick to scroll. It feels more natural that way and is probably less wear and tear on the screen.
Try replacing your tip with the completely white one. That might help.

What is the difference between black and white tips

Yeah I would like to know that too.

Replaced the black one with the white and situation is really somewhat better. White one is the same as the one I had on my N7000. Black one is more of a sticky nature; i couldn't write fastly with it and scrolling was laggier too. Now it is quite ok.
Thanks!

Hi all,
It seems to me that the edge of the lcd screen is not responsive (both left and right) at times when I put it inside a leather case(similar to theM1 case). If I take it out of the case, it's very responsive.
Does anyone notice the same problem?
Thanks.
I've brought that up before. Out of the case the screen is very responsive all over. In a case it's much less responsive around the edges. If you use the screen calibration apk it helps a little, and I find you get a better response around the edges using your thumb than pointer.
I don't know of any real solution, or what causes it.

glad to know i am not the only one with the problem.
My guess is that the case must touch the tablet somewhere that confuses the touch sensor.
mine did this for a little while and then just went away. the calibration didn't help and reloading the ROM didn't either.

Can you try to remember what you could have done to make it go away? Changed or modified the case in anyway?
It's so annoying.
It seems as if the G-Tablet's touch sensor is EXTREMELY sensitive. It even detected my headphone wire touching it. I knew this because when I would touch it at the same time the wire was on it, it would start spazzing out. Remove the wire, effect gone. Be happy that this thing is ultrasensitive. Could be worse, could be a resistive touchscreen.
its not possible it is a capcitative touch screen. I am experiencing the same problem I think it has do with part of our finger is on the case and not on the screen. If i press on it and roll it side to side a bit it will pick up my touch
I have found that using live wallpapers reduces the responsiveness of the touch screen especially around the edges.
Base on my experience with these device in the past, all the live wallpaper does is eat up your cpu horsepower. You want your device to operate at its optimum, yes? Just use a regular wallpaper. Kill all non-essential tasks.
Unfortunately I don't have any productive advice but I can tell you that I bought the p4 case off of steve (great website fast shipping) and a capacitive stylus. Like you described it was totally unresponsive toward the edges. I tried the calibration app and no significant success. After a couple of days use it started registering the touches consistently.
Is it just me or does this screen seem more "sticky" than other phones? Sticky meaning I can't swipe my fingers smoothly, and after using the phone a while my finger actually starts to burn. It's not a smooth oily feel like previous phones I've owned. And yes I've cleaned the screen.

I know what you mean, I came from an iPhone and it was easier to glide my finger across the glass. I was thinking because it's summer, my hands were just sweaty. x)

Same here. I recall someone posted a link to some coating you can put on the phone yourself that will improve the feel and the fingerprint smudges issue.
Sadly I forgot what it was.
Anyone has a clue what coating that is?

This is the smoothest screen I've ever had on a cell phone ..... dont know about sticky

I thought this too. Don't mean to annoyingly compare but the iPhone's screen is a lot smoother to the touch for me. When my hands are bone dry touching the screen is super smooth but as soon as they get slightly sweaty or damp it's really difficult to slide. Made me change keyboards from swype to swiftkey.

Yay for iphoney
My first phone was smooth as butter..my last 3 are sticky. you can't use swype or anything like that at all.
So on the middle if the screen when I apply some force, I notice that it creates a rippling effect. Its similar to when you push hard enough on a calculator screen, it does the same effect. So is this normal or should I return it?

This will happen to any lcd/led/plasma screen. It is more noticeable near the middle on larger displays (than a phone) as the screen cover bends more easily there than around the edge.
Why would you apply force to a touch screen?
Well honestly, I didn't even apply too much force at all. I only noticed it while wiping it down with a cloth. So if this happens with every screen, this however, did not happen to my touchpad. But I'll just take your word for it...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
No, just cleaning your screen (gently!) should not cause these rippling effects. Neither should normally applied force do. If that's the case, it's a defective one; return it.

Remember - Gorilla Glass 2 is much thinner that the original - so it would take less force to cause it to flex - maybe that's why you are seeing on the TF700 using the same amount of pressure (and didn't see it on the Playbook)... Assuming that the Playbook doens't also use Gorilla Glass 2 (I'm not sure)...
My recommendation would just not apply that much force when cleaning it!

I applied enough force on my screen (in the middle) to break a heavy duty plastic spoon (the big clear type) and don't have that.
Well, with that being said. I'll be exchanging the tablet for the fourth freaking time! I guess I'm just unlucky with this kind of stuff.

OK, thanks for that. It was like having that big red button with a sign saying 'do not press', just couldn't resist
So after reading your post I couldn't help myself. Pressed on the center of my screen a little harder than usual and sure enough, there's the ripple effect. Only, after trying it a couple more times it left behind almost like finger smudges under the glass.
Did you hear me swear and call you names
Anyway, after 1/2 a minute or so the smudges dispersed and I'm good again.
So I'll put my hand up to being a knob.... I pressed it
So who else couldn't resist?
Go on...Press it....Press it.......Press it.....
I pressed it Got the same ripple-effects described. But no finger-smudges under the screen..
Hello. My phone sometimes acts like i touched somewhere on screen and hold there neither that I didn't. I faced that in all roms so it's a hardware problem. It makes me crazy sometimes, especially when it happens when gaming. Am I the only one here faces this?
Also my screen works with water too.. Please test that, take some water in a PET bottle and touch it to the screen, then please write this if you face that.

Use a matte finish screen guard/clean your hands before you use your phone and this wont happen.
Water actually makes any capacitive touch phone go beserk.
Have had this problem..and i recommend a MATTE FINISH screen guard. Since the day i am using it, havent had that ghost operate my phone
If you dont get one in your country/state, use galaxy s2's matte screen guard till you find one.

Buddy... For me it was totally opposite... I had switched to a matte screen guard soon after buying my phone last year but I had so much problem with ghost touch... The day i switched to glossy screen guard my problems were solved..
Matte is better as its not a finger print magnet.. But the drawback is that it feels rougher, doesn't have good visibility in the sun, colours don't look as rich.. And for me the screen used to respond on its own.. It also makes some noise when you slide your finger across it(again personal opinion)..
Glossy is better coz its smoother, colours are much much better (personal opinion), it is very user friendly in strong sunlight and it's silent to use (no noise when sliding finger over it).. The drawback is its a fingerprint magnet..

Agreed. Y'day I visit a famous Shop near by My home. I asked him for Matte finished gaurd, but he suggested me to not to use it as it can harm your Screen & visibility will be less then Glossy. All above ^.^ statement was there. So, I haven't let my phone Wore that Protector.

Agreed..when battery gets critically low viewing in the daylight is kinda tough.
Yeah that happens.
But the phone looks beautiful too.
I had changed three clear screen guards and the ghost problem due to moisture was MUCH MUCH higher than the matte. Never experienced it after changing to matte.
Plus clear guards get scratched very easily and quickly which makes the screen go pathetic. Even then viewing.in the sunlight becomes a hassle.
Matte screen guard dont get scratched and last longer.
And when you press hard and slide on the screen..only then it makes a sound.
Rest ive never heard the sound.
Buddy i suggest you to try it again..
I hope it will be a good experience.
And no screen guard can damage the phone.
How can they if they can?

Any fix for this? This so far has been my main annoyance with this phone. Happens on both my parents Galaxy S5 running Lollipop as well.
Examples: Scrolling through settings is bouncy same for webpages which is just awful.
Then the worst is the Notification panel, Its so bad that I'll scroll down and the panel goes right back up.
Any suggestions for this?
