I know I posted before about an issue I had with the pen pressure that I forced me to replace the pen. Now I am having another problem... this time with random 'wiggly lines' coming off my letters when I am writing. I take a lot of notes so this is an issue... my other pen didn't do this (and is now no longer working)

I notice it's sometimes better if I am using it a bit, but obvoiusly prevents me from writing quickly and getting anything done. It's like I have to go back and erase and have to write slower....
Has anyone else has this issue? This is just so frustrating since this is my second spen... without any sort of diagnostic tool on these devices, it's hard to tell what the problem could be
Yes, I've adjusted sensitivity underneath the switch.
Yes, I've changed the nib.
No, I am not using a case with a magnet.
Anyone?
I noticed when trying my husband's Note II pen, it did the same thing, but not nearly as much. (My pen just seems more sensitive than his in general). It seems to be a lag/software issue. It doesn't do it as often in layerPaint... it seems to happen a lot more in S-note. I turned off airview and other things like that to try to see if it made some difference... it is really really annoying.
I'm not sure, but it seems to have started since the Jelly Bean update. I'm tempted to try another ROM.

Sounds exactly like all you need to do is calibrate your pen. It's a very easy DIY job. Search on xda and you will find a guide

I've done a lot of searching already and I can't find what you're talking about. I already know about lifting the side-switch and adjusting sensitivity if that is what you mean... I mentioned that in the OP.
I've read about the touching every edge of the screen for automatic calibration (this was in a Note 1 forum). I've even reset my tablet completely to try to fix this issue and it still persists...
I noticed also the pointer "hops" around as I am using it. I've noticed this and it's not only distracting, but it could mean the sensor is not staying where it should?... it's acting like a calibration issue, but how do you this calibrate this? I've disabling everything that could possibly cause lag as well...
Edit: in response to OP:
I get this too! It has to be some kind of velocity setting that causes it... drives me a bit bonkers sometimes. Seems if im writing quickly i notice it more. As if the pen setting is overly sensitive to me whipping it around.

I too get this and am quite frustrated, but I believe it is because of my screen protector.
I believe you may find there's a calibration app in the themes and apps forum. I believe it was being developed but may be a paid app. Might be an idea to look there....

Hmm, so the old pen didn't do this? Mine does it too and it's getting rather annoying while drawing. Been wondering if it's just a normal thing I'll have to deal with... but what you said gives me hope. Did you send the SPen back by itself to get a replacement or did you have to buy a new one?
Also does anyone know if the Bamboo Stylus' do this at all?

Yes, and I've tried many many pens... the one that this is I bought at Best Buy as a replacement... so yes, I paid for another pen I should not have had to pay money for, but I didn't care and needed it working. Trust me, I've put a lot of experimentation into what seems like is becoming a project now. To me, the experience is so variable. Each pen is different. You get a pen that defaults this pressure, another that defaults that... my OEM pen did not become sensitive enough and it was impossible even with adjustment. Then you have people who can get it so sensitive, they can write on the display merely by floating the pointer close enough...
I'm happy with the tablet otherwise. It's just so frustrating. Wacom product support and their pens are usually good technology, but Samsung did not think this through on the software end when they didn't even think to add a calibration utility or some kind of diagnostic panel that at least tells us what pressure is being applied, the XY coordinates, nothing... it's just not helpful when you're having these kinds of problems. It's an expensive device, there should be some kind of support for this sort of problem... I called for some help with warranty and they told me I would have to send the whole tablet in... which is silly.

I found a tool that gives you the kind of information you're talking about inside the Developer Options -> Input -> Show pointer location. "Screen overlay showing current touch data." When I turned it on I got a nice status bar a the top that tells you your location on the screen and it also has a pressure meter. It may not be exactly what you're talking about but I figured I'd point it out.

This is something that everyone wishes.
A logoLESS SGS.
When you look at this Logoless ATT Captivate, the unbelievable beauty of the logo-less screen will make you want to kill yourself trying to remove the logos.
I do realize that there was already another thread about this. BUT, it's dead.
Since I am currently working in a science lab, I have nearly all chemical available that can dissolve the logos. But, before I can try that, I need to tear down all the components out except the screen. So, I looked into this SGS Tear down Guide.
One thing that I realized is that I won't be able to tear down the screen. Or will i be able to? (please prove me that I am wrong so I will tear down that and try to find a method to dissolve or grind the logos away)
[Touch sensor + AMOLED technology screen ish thing seem to be sticked to the glass]
I have been trying to devise methods that would allow me to complete the mod.Now, it seems to be there is only one option, marking it with marker?
BUT do you guys have better suggestion?
Thanks for reading.

Revival of the Thread
I've been thinking and thinking, since we cannot permanently 'erase' the logo, why not do something temporary?
Initially, I was thinking about the properties of color. There wouldn't be any color if light is not presence. If so, we just have to block the light reflecting the logo. We might be able to use the same film from the car tinted windows, 0% transparency. How does this sound?
Thank you for all your support,
let's make it happen!
Wow, that **** looks HOT!
I like how the screen blends with the rest of the device. You can't tell where the screen starts or ends!

At this point, I just need someone to prove me that the backing of the screen is detachable without any damage.
Once I have the confirmation, I will be using acetone to dissolve the logos.
Be careful to use the least amount of acetone as possible or avoid it all together since acetone eats away plastics.

Thanks for the advise,
btw does anyone know if the logo is imprinted on the top or beneath the screen?
Most likely it will be underneath the glass. That's how it is on my Tilt 2/Touch Pro2.
well if it is above the glass that would make things simple no wouldn't it =P
anyways I highly doubt you can separate the digitizer and superamoled screen since it has two new technologies in it. You will most likely be damaging the screen if you attempted to pry it apart. >.>
I suggest you wait about a month before you attempt this since the galaxy s isn't even released and therefore digitizers aren't up for sale either
+ 1 to this endeavor. Keep us posted.
Without the logo it kind of reminds me of a slightly smaller version of the Dell Streak. What do you guys think? That would be one sexy mod but i doubt it will be possible since the digitizer and the LCD screen are infused in Super AMOLED technology.
I was at Tmobile's store checking out the Vibrant.
I couldn't tell whether or not the logo is on top or below the screen.
Any suggestions?
{keep in mind that captivate + vibrant should be similar in which how they print the logo}
i suppose run your nail over it and see if it catches... unfortunately its most likely under .
I just bought the phone from the store.
It doesn't seem like it's catching any thing :[
But we need another confirmation from someone else as the logo might b too deep down into the glass? or too thin for me to feel it with my nails?
Congrats on your new phone! share ur experience and joy with us
I believe removing the logo will be impossible. I have noticed two types of logos from the more modern phones I have dismantled:
1. Logo is on underside, a layer of white/silver ink that has had black painted over the top; removing the logo would require removing the black first, seems like a bad idea.
2. Logo is on underside, the logo is not so much an extra layer of ink, but a lack thereof. The logo section is clear, showing the metal frame through the black area. Impossible to remove, rather, you would have to fill it in.
I believe the captivate is the first option. On another note, I think it is further impossible due to the fact that Super AMOLED displays have the air removed from between the layers of the glass/digitizer/display; this is what makes them so thin. You would have to replace the whole display unit with a logoless one. Just my thoughts, I would be happy to be proven wrong

I have been using this phone for 4 years, so it's definitely a HUGE change for me.

The screen is definitely popping like everyone saying it.
I'm so glad that I made this choice as oppose to vibrant / international model.
I was looking at a vibrant demo and i hated the form factor.
One thing i'm pretty everyone will like a LOT is the battery casing lol.
It seems like it's metal (not sure) and the way you open it is AMAZING.
Once again, my phone is still locked to ATT, and I have t mobile as my carrier. I had been paying around and find an unlock code for the phone but this one company hasn't been able to find the unlock code for it... so yeah i'm pretty limited into usage right now.
Just got home with mine and the logo doesn't catch on my fingernail and all I can feel is the glass. I do believe that it's printed on the inside.
thanks for all the confirmation guys. Its unfortunate that it wont be an easy removal, but judging by the high interest in having this unbranded im sure someone will prevail. I'll try it myself as soon as replacement parts become available.
Please read the original post, it's been revived as stated.
Not entirely sure this is a good place to post it, but I was going to fly on an airplane, read a few pages of a PDF at the airport, got on the plane, then went to turn my EEE Tablet back on after takeoff, and the entire screen looked red-shifted:

It seems all black pixels are red, though other colors are more or less okay.
I'm at a loss for what it would be. Is that a hardware problem or a software problem? Going into recovery, though, everything was also red; a friend of mine said it was probably a bad cable.
Does anyone have any advice, or has seen something similar? I'd feel really silly if I restored to stock, sent it in, and it was just some setting on an obscure settings page I accidentally changed.
Try the force power off method (10-12sec power button hold). If still getting the issue try a hard reset from the android settings. If it still does it, it's a hardware issue and you'll need to return or RMA it. Could be quite a number of things causing this strange issue. Bad cable connection, overheated gpu, glitch in the matrix, etc.
EDIT: just noticed you said 'restore it to stock'. Could also be a dodgy rom you installed. So yeah reflash a stock one.
Wow.. that's bizarre. Seems like it's a hardware thing to me .. try doing a factory reset? Do you have any accessibility related applications installed?
You mentioned it happens in recovery, what about when booting? The first Asus screen?
If so, its most likely hardware. But still try a stock flash
You didn't by any chance subject your tablet through any magnetic equipments at the airport did you?
Anyway, a search with Google with the keywords "red pixels black background" gave general results that the graphics processor has malfunctioned. You may have to get an RMA for your tablet.
Looks like a magnet got it to me.....
maby the xray machine fukkd up the sensitive ips, or maby the pressure change. this is the first ive seen of this
Did you go through the metal detectors with it before handing it over to be xrayed?
possible multiple stuck pixels?
try looking for an app to "unstuck" the pixels.
Or try youtube(Search fix stuck pixel video or something like that) and play a video in full screen. run it a few times and maybe itll get those suckers to light on and off and eventually fix it.
good luck
Speaking of airports..
Never traveled with a laptop/tablet. Do you HAVE to submit your device through the xray machine, and if so, is it a potential risk to the unit?
It's either the GPU output or the cable. It's hardware. It's broken. It's not magnetized (that's dumb-it doesn't happen to LCD) nor are those stock pixels. If it happens outside of the OS, it's not software.
RMA

Yes, you have to submit it if they ask. No, it won't harm it.

It's clearly stated on TF manual:
There are three main types of airport security devices: X-ray machines (used on items placed on conveyor belts), magnetic detectors (used on people walking through security checks), and magnetic wands
(hand-held devices used on people or individual items). You can send your Eee Pad through airport X-ray machines. But do not send your Eee Pad through airport magnetic detectors or expose it to magnetic wands.

Manual schmanual. There is nothing in this device that is sensitive to the magnetic field emitted by the metal detectors at the airport.
If it had a hard drive or a CRT screen, then maybe.

Well guys/gals my Note 3 screen has decided to delaminate itself 2 weeks after the warranty ended. It started out as a couple small lines and is gradually getting worse and worse adding new lines often.

I'm only two weeks past my one year warranty period so I decided to email Samsung about it. I described the exact issue with a photo and sent it off last night. I got a reply back this morning, not even 12hrs later on a weekend with what was almost an automated response back. The person or robot on the other end didn't read or understand my issue and responded back with a typical copy and paste customer response. I provided the picture you see below and they replied...
Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Care.
I see that there is a dot on the screen and you would like to fix the issue.
I am sorry to know about and I do understand your concern.
If you are using any screen protector, please remove it and check for the results.
In case if the issue persists, it need to be examined with the authorized service technician.

They then go on about if it's under warranty do this and if not do that when their form asks for a purchase date and they know if it's still warrantied. Is it so hard to actually get in touch with someone who cares more than simply creating another statistic.
I'm sad that my phone self destructed and I'm sad that Samsung customer service stinks.
Delaminate? Maybe I'm reading the photo wrong but it looks like some deep scratches to me.
No scratches, the digitizer is delaminating from the glass.

Not really. It's not as if anyone suggested you were lying.
Anyway, I'm unsure where you got the idea that you're two weeks past your warranty period, Samsung phones come with a 24 month warranty, and as the Note 3 was only released 13 months ago, you're pretty much guaranteed to have this fixed by them if what you're suggesting is the fault is true. They can only do so much with a photo, you need to send the handset to them.

That's just for us, because the EU enforces the 24 months warranty period to protect customers.
He's from Canada, and they only get 12 months.
Christ, that must be annoying.
Here's what it looks like today. Correct on only 12 months warranty but the service fella that I spoke with may help me out. Going to see him tomorrow, fingers crossed.
I can confirm this problem, cause a friend of me have the same problem on his Note 3.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Sorry couldnt resist..same thing happened to my s3 exactly 2 years after purchase, its like the gel filler underneath the glass starts to breakdown, then air gets in and the real problems begin. Quite scary really. You can replace the digitizer and glass but they are never the same again.

Negative, this is an internal issue and as such cannot be helped by exterior cosmetic protection. If this starts to happen you're pretty much fu*ked as far as saving or preventing it goes. Best thing to do is send it back to Samsung or if your warranty is up, repair it through 3rd party.

I'm guessing there aren't ways to prevent it directly, just looking after your phone properly, not dropping it, not leaving it in open arid environments (like around seawater for example). As far as I am aware this isn't a widely reported issue, and has never been isolated to just Samsung but seems Samsung has the most issues (though still quite rare). Maybe it is a manufacturing fault at some point with a minority of handsets.

Are you new to the Note 3? I have just sold my LG G3 to come to Note 3.
I always enjoyed typing on a hardware keyboard. Unfortunately phones with physical keyboards are no longer produced (except blackberry).
The phone i used until now was nokia n900, but its battery died, so i decided to move on. I wanted a device like htc tytn 2 or htc touch pro 2 but with today specifications. I found none.
So i got a samsung galaxy note 4 and decided to add a hardware keyboard to it. I know that for galaxy s4 there are some bluetooth keyboard cases, but they does not allow full control of the interface. I wanted something with a mousepad.
For that i found the Rii mini bluetooth keyboard. It is about the same size as the note 4.
With two ringke slim cases, i build a slide mechanism that can also tilt:

You can see how i build it here: http://simpledevices.blogspot.ro/
nice mod!
I haven't seen a psion in forever!
Did you consider those similar keyboards that connect via bluetooth or is the USB host for something else?
The usb host is for connecting any usb device. I make a small host adapter which i keep in a free space in the keyboard case:
nice one. where did you buy the keyboard from, in Romania?
i bought it from olx.ro, but i also found on robofun.ro
I have a very similar keyboard. How would I go about connecting the keyboard with the phone? I am not trying to make a slider phone, but just want to use the keyboard wirelessly with the phone. Thanks.
That is freaking awesome. I have that same little keyboard, I may have to set aside some time to make one of these for myself.

well, there are several model of this keyboard available. some of them are using wifi, some bluetooth. If your keyboard is using bluetooth, simple activate bluetooth on the phone, turn on the keyboard, on the phone search for bluetooth devices, you should find the keyboard, select it, it may ask you to introduce a code, insert it, and you are done.
If your keyboard is using wifi, you'll need to use a usb host adapter to plug the wifi adapter that came with the keyboard to the phone usb. I didn't use such a keyboard before, so not sure what you have to do after that.

if you have access to a 3d printer, you can make it look alot better, however the slide mechanism should be made from metal, becase the note 4 is not very light.
I would really like to see something similar, so if you can find some time to do it, please post the pictures
Maybe you have better ideas about the slide and tilt mechanism.

My keyboard has an usb dongle I have to plug in somewhere. I wasn't sure how it connected until much later after looking at your pics much more closely. I ordered an otg cable, hopefully it works out. Thanks man, and that is a sick mod.

if you have access to a 3d printer, you can make it look alot better, however the slide mechanism should be made from metal, becase the note 4 is not very light.
I would really like to see something similar, so if you can find some time to do it, please post the pictures
Maybe you have better ideas about the slide and tilt mechanism.
Best regards,
Liviu

I wouldn't have the first clue where to find a 3D printer, unfortunately. That's a good idea though.
I have a couple of cases that would work well for this and I think they'd look nice with a leather covering, so we'll see what I can come up with. I'll definitely post pics when/if I do this

i may have acces to a 3d printer soon, and hopefully i can make it look better.
Looking forward to see your case, especially the slide mechanism, will you do the same as i did, or you have better ideas?

I have to see what I can rummage up for the mechanism, I may have to make a trip to Fry's or something. I'll probably keep it similar to your design cause I like the slide & tilt thing. I'm out of state visiting my mom all week so I have lots of time to brainstorm :good:

Sounds great! I have some ideas that can remove those bulges from the first case:
The idea is to use some screws to fix the case to slide and cut the metal bends that holds the first case:
Flipping those two small holders will give you a space in the middle for the screws, allowing you to slide easily:
I'm not sure if i have time this weekend to do this on my case, but you can try it out.
if someone makes this for me I swear I'll buy it or if someone could give me a link to some official ones I would love you forever lol. I need this in my life

I'm afraid you won't find this anywhere to buy, you'll have to build it yourself.
yeah unfortunately I realized that after looking online for like 3 days straight lmao. literally impossible to find. I don't know why this isn't a thing I think it's absolutely amazing. brings me back to the G1 and Moto XT & all that.
I've searched all over for Note 4 keyboard cases and didn't find any like with my old S3, sadly, but then you went and made one! Looks nice!
I just wish that keyboard had backlighting, since I use my phone in dark rooms fairly often. But since it's a DIY effort anyway, I might as well base it off one of those old S3 cases that did have the backlighting and the classic HTC slide action with tilt.

Hey Guys (and gals).
My Samsung Galaxy Alpha's screen seem to have gotten an odd 'defect' which i cannot seem to determine the cause of. Normally i would just beat the **** outta google for such issue but I cannot seem to find any documentation or even a similar case regarding following issue. (am i blind???)
Description: A few months back an odd 'line' in a 'silver/metallic/greyish' color appeared on the top right of the display. The damage itself does not seem to be a scratch nor crack on the display. It more seems to be some kind of liquid material but i cannot tell for sure. As said at first it apperaed as a single straight line on the size of a fingertip but that quickly changed; as you can see on the picture it has started to fork into multiple branches and is in general growing in a faster phase than in the beginning.
At some point i realized that the phone is 'old' and a repair wouldn’t be profitable to even consider. But there is one thing that bothers the living **** outta me; i cannot figure out what caused the problem in the first place! - I am most definitely not a phone technician but i do have my share of hardware knowledge in computer devices. And this does not seem to be near any kind of damages on LCD displays i have encountered on either laptops, monitors nor phones. I have my daily routine in a IT company where i work as an sysadmin; and therefore i believe that i come across atleast some people who could be able to determine the root cause such issue. - But till now the only 'convincing' argument came from a 'hardware chimp' at my local phone store that was certain the screen was cracked and the only solution was either for him to sell me a new phone or ship it to Samsung repair.
- If the device is flipped on the side and you examine the display from the right angle it is clear that the damage doesn’t seem to be on the protective glass nor the LCD display below it. - It seems (from my pov) to be either on the inner-side of the Glass or somewhere in between the glass and the LCD (trapped air? liquid?). Besides the visuals the phone doesn’t seem to suffer any other negative effect. Touch works flawlessly and the device still seems solid.
- Therefore i ask you guys; does any of you have even the slightest idea on what could be causing such issue?
Any advice / solution models / comments / muffins will be much appreciated.
Best Regards
PS. Sorry for the terrible picture quality but my normal camera device was kinda incapable of capturing it.

No offense, but the lines look awesome . I think that they might really be just air or water(liquid) that got caught in between the LCD and the digitizer(touch screen). Keep me informed.
