Annoying S Note zoom bug :(

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.

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.

Screen flickering issue

Hey everybody...
I just got a new note & everything is excellent except that I've been noticing some weird flickering in the screen... Its not even flickering, its more like it goes dark for milliseconds & its not that frequent. Should i be conserned or its a software issue... does anyone have such an issue?

Have you got auto brightness enabled? If so try manually setting the brightness, also check your screen timeout in setting /display set it to a 1min not 15secs
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda premium

Auto brightness is off. The same issue is happenning with my galaxy s3.

I dont think it is. Because on the home screen & some apps like youtube the issue is nonexistent, Strange

I have not seen this issue yet. Had mine since launch.

After some testing I found out that the screen issue is related to some apps only such as chrome & xda's app. Most other apps work just fine such as s note, photoshop, youtube, all games & the home screen shows no flickeri g whatsoever.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I have seen this, I was worried but it is very difficult to return my unit as it is a grey import.
I totally didn't notice that it went away after changing screen timeout to 1 minute. Battery life is good enough to easily cope with this.
Setting back to 15 seconds to see if it re-occurs.
fyi, I leave brightness auto.

I can confirm that the problem is solved. The whole issue is that some apps are conflicting with the hover function for the s pen. Once you disable that function in settings all becomes completly normal without any issues.

I have the similar issue on my Note 10.1 - the browser is the biggest 'flasher' and it seems random. I called Samsung support - They had me reset to factory and the issue went away, but eventually came back. I don't want to have to keep resetting to factory as that is painful for me to reconfig everything and I tend to believe that if I restore to ClockWorkMod backup, the issue will still be there.

Hi.
l had the same problem earlier. Simply deactivate the hovering S - Pen icon, and voila!

[Q] HTC Sense Input

I recently noticed the arrow keys reappearing on the portrait keyboard even though I have them turned off in options (settings>language&keyboard>htc sense input>arrow keys "OFF"). I have cleared htc sense input data and this takes care of the resetting issue until I play any kind of full screen video. This included youtube in full screen, angry birds, vevo, etc. I thought that it might be an app so I put my phone into safe mode...but the same issue occurs. I even went as far as doing a full reset, but still the issue continues. I really could care less about the arrow keys, I just want to make sure at this point that it is just some kind of software issue that may be resolved with a future update, and not a hardware issue with my phone in particular. My phone is completely stock and fully updated. HTC hasn't emailed back yet, so I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this issue? btw, this may be a well know issue, but I have only had the phone for a couple of weeks so any help would be much appreciated.

i have this same issue. they come back even when i turn them off. the only way to get rid of them again is to make sure the keyboard shows up then turn the phone into landscape mode then back to portrait mode, then the arrows are gone. its a glitch in the software or something.

Is there a way you can disable the arrow keys on stock rom and unrooted? I'm on android 4.0.4 and sense 4.1, but i can't see the option in HTC sense input in where you can turn off the arrow keys..

Just install Swype Beta and no more arrow keys

It's under HTC Sense Input, make sure to look under all of the "advanced settings" , dive into the sub-menus.

When i go to advanced settings, there are no sub-menus.. is it just me? i really don't want any 3rd party keyboard because the stock keyboard is just great, it's just i can't find any option that can disable the arrow in the keyboard. Even in the advance settings, there is none..

I know this doesn't help you at all but I can't find that option in sense input either on 4.0.4 and sense 4.1. Personally I use SwiftKey but maybe turning the arrows off is a feature HTC dropped?

Why in the world that i don't have that option when i click on HTC Sense Input.. my One S is the international version (black with MAO), would that be the case? I wish i could have that option.. the arrow keys really took a bunch of space..

I also have the international version, black MAO. However I am branded on T-Mobile. I doubt it is the reason, though. Not sure why.

[Q] Disable Touch Key Lights?

I'm on MIUI and there is no way to disable them while still retaining functionality. I do not want to use the on screen NavBar, i still want to use the touch keys and home button, just not have them light up. I'd also rather not use ScreenDIM, etc. I'd prefer to do a system change or something to disable the lights. Any ideas?

Isn't there a galaxy settings in the settings menu?

[APP][4.0+][FREE] WiiiFixer for Jelly Bean - will make your connection stable

I've made this little app because I couldn't tolerate endless wifi disconnections (when a screen is off) on my Galaxy S2 after upgrading to Jelly Bean. I've tried many of wifi-repair apps, but none of them worked for me. This one works. Maybe it will work also for you. It can be also used with ICS.

what wifi problems are you talking about? the one where it disconnects itself after deep sleep?

What? Thats actully a feature in JB that can be enable and disable in the advance setting of WiFi right? atleast on my S3 and NOTE 2.

This app holds wifi and multicast lock. This fixes wifi disconnections for badly written apps which don't hold a wifi lock.

Note: the disable notification button takes me to the settings-apps pane, i.e. to force-stop, uninstall, etc. Running 10.1 nightly on an LG P500.

It needs to run in foreground and all android apps supposed to run in foreground must use notifications (it's forced by the android compiler). Of course if you switch the notification off (in jb only) it doesn't affect the app in any way.

In case you have wifi "on" locks are holding even if you don't use a connection. The answer is - Yes.
