When I put my tablet down on the table or laying on the bed flat, it seems like
the touch screen becomes less sensitive. Is this normal??? I have done the
touch screen fix, but this still happens..
Thanks.

This is normal with all touch screens in my experience. Try leaving it on the table and then come straight down about 1-2 feet above with your arm/hand and see how the responsiveness is now there.
This is due to the way we touch the screen and the way it looks for the touch. I'm not a programmer, but I asked about this with Cyanogenmod and this is what I was told.
Well that's weird. I wonder why it doesn't do that with my ipad or anyof my android phones
Anyone else know about this.
Try turning the tab upside down (if u r using in landscape mode) . I have read (from very reliable sources here in this forum) that the screen on this tab was put in upside down. I always use it upside down unless not supported by current app in use.

I see the same thing on my gtablet and also on my samsung focus windows 7 phone...
The tablet had a smashed screen, but was working fine. I replaced the digitizer and it didn't respond to touch. I put another new screen on it with the same result. I tried restoring to factory but it didn't change.
Anybody know what went wrong?
Hi,
I have a Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 and the battery gets really hot and then the screen starts flickering and eventually goes out. I was wondering if anyone else has had or heard of this issue?
Thank you, Snow
While doing what sort of activity at what brightness level? There is s flickering issue that isn't necessarily related to heat which is why I'm asking. .

These things are rated save to use up to 80ºC, so unless it reaches near-melting temperatures, something else is probably wrong.
There are a couple of threads on screen flickering issues. Primarily concentrated issue on the WiFi and AT&T models.
It has also become a bit of a trend for people to say 'It gets really scalding hot', whilst it turns out to only be around 40ºC. That is not hot. That's normal for a device with a powerhouse CPU and no fans.
Use CPU-Z to get the actual battery temp. 25-45C is perfectly normal, 50-60C in heavy usage is also normal (Games, for instance).
This primarily happens when playing games or watching video's on it. It seems like the processor/battery gets hot and then all of a sudden the screen starts going crazy.
Enable developer options and disable hardware overlays within there. It has been said that this should fix the flickering in video playback.
Be aware that when you reboot the tablet you will have to disable hardware overlays again.
If you're rooted and have TWRP, clearing cache and dalvic will resolve the flickering for a period of time (days) without having to dive into developer options.

Hi IbrahimGla,
Once the hardware overlay issue was mentioned, I looked for instructions on how to turn hardware overlays off on the Galaxy tab (Which where hard to find). Here are the instructions and so far, it looks like it is working for me:
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
To fix flickering in video:
Enable developer options in settings (go to about device and tap Build Number 7+ times).
In developer options, under hardware-accelerated rendering, check "turn off hardware overlays". You can also check "force GPU rendering", but I've found the former is all that's necessary.

Thanks for your reply , i did what u have mentioned in the begening of my problem and no thing has changed , now after a month from the first time where my screen starts flickring the device is not turning on it is like a device with no battery it just show me the battery charging when it's off.
do you advise me to buy a new battery and replace my note pro battery??
Thank you & sorry for my bad english
I am having a similar problem with my Note Pro. It ussualy starts when the battery is down to 60%. The screen starts flickering and then I get a message saying the SD card is corrupt or not formatted. Sometimes it locks up as well. Sometimes when I plug the charger in to tells me "charging is suspended due to high battery temp.". The device is warm but not extreamly hot. If I turn the device off and let it charge, once the battery charge comes up to 70% I can turn it back on and everything works fine. As long as I keep it charged to over 60 - 70% I never have a problem. I tried several different SD cards but that doesn't seem to be the problem.
I have contacted Samsung but the only response I have gotten from them is "have you done a factory reset?".
Not sure what to try next. Anyone have any suggestions?

Sorry I missed this, I am not on here very often, I am back because the Note 7 is coming out. I have never replaced the battery on mine, so I am not sure. Apparently replacing the battery has worked for some people. I ended up sending the Note Pro to Samsung 2 times under warranty and the problem was not fixed.
Finally I called their support back a 3rd time near the end of the warranty period and said: Listen, I have send this *** to your repair department 2 times already. I want one that actually works sent back to me. They sent me a Note Pro in an un-marked (maybe a re-furb box?) with some sort of bar code sticker on the back of it.
Since then, this different Note Pro has worked for the most part, but every so often it has minor issues with it getting hot and the battery loosing charge, but it is not as bad as the one I bought. I really think Samsung dropped the ball on that tablet and they are lucky I just got a Tab E.
Definitely not my experience with the Note Pro. Mine has been rock solid for 2 years now, I still rack up a minimum of 2 hours of screen on time per day 7 days a week, and quite often more than that.
Just an FYI that there has been threads posted about screen flickering and battery issues that document issues with the battery connection and how to resolve them (involves opening the back and resoldering the battery terminal). Definitely something that you'd think Samsung would do but doesn't always do it . .
My tablet had the same screen flickering and getting hot problem. I solved the issue by soldering the battery connector in the motherboard. If you look at post #10 of this thread you will see a very good photo posted by Beut of the tiny black connector that seems to be failing. Other users report that the white battery connector also causes problems. In my case it was the black one, I soldered it a month ago and the problem was resolved.
I have had my sprint galaxy s5 for about a year and 5 months, and have had no problems.
I am running resurrection remix m, and i seem to be having a flickering screen every once in a while.
I switch to cm12.1 ; same deal, even a stock rom has the flickering.
And I've heard that it is a hardware problem, would sprint be okay with me sending in the device for a fix, or is there any way to fix it myself?
Otherwise, I am going to be stuck with a very annoying problem for another 8 months...

Hi I advised me to try the "Screen Filter" App from Playstore.
It creates a dark overlay and then raises the brightness and stops trembling.
Now it does it less than before.
Anyway, I've been told it's a hardware problem, not software.
Its been a while, and wanted to bring this back up front!
OK, First off, what is really going on? Screen flickering.... so many Q's, like e.g.- what color is showing up? Is is the entire screen, or just certain areas? Does this happen when phone is sleeping? ... Charging?
Also mentioned was "HARDWARE"... what was told to you, being hardware? Could be taking as a Screen, but, could be other hardware issues, such as bad gyros, modem, charging port. So again, I ask you, what specific hardware are you talking about?
OK, My case- Galaxy S5 (sm-g900p) Running the latest Lineage OS, 14.1 (built 14.12.2017) I have Screen Flickering. It has been going on for about a monthor so. It Flickers, grey/green lines over the screen. It is not completely covering the screen, mostly the last 80% of the screen area. You can still see the screen, lock or home, and does seem to be some sort of Overlay, on the screen. Sleep, Or not, and Charging or not, Locked or not, this happens. (watching this get worse over the last couple of weeks, makes me feel I need to fix this soon!)
Plus, good note here, sort of....in the last week or 2, I have gone 100% back to the latest Stock MM build from Samsung for my Sprint model. and this has not made any sort of difference to Screen Flickering.
Also, noted, that IF, on home screen or Lock screen, when it has this Flickering Overlay, IF you touch the screen, it goes away... NOT too sure what is going on yet, with this! Running logcats this week when I can, to find out what any info I can there, hopefully I can find out WHAT is really causing this....
I have just about a year on a "New" Screen. All the other boards inside, are Factory< and are well over 3 years old. I can state, that I have totally rebuilt several Galaxy S5's. So if this is in the hardware, which actual part is the issue? from what I have read, it is in the Motherboard. So this would be a complete rebuild of phone, no problem! Other than getting the Right Parts. Meaning, to many folks selling Factory parts, which they do not know what actual model of the S5, it came from.
So, any advise or help would be awesome. I would rather put $$ in this this model, than purchase anything else. I would still be money ahead.
Thanks for reading.

My S5 which I bought this month was build in 4/2014 it must have sat around for a while, as the original owner only activated in in 7/2016. If you think it is the logic board, then hell replace it.. This phone imop is better, than most of the new phones out there for what I use it for..
It literally driving me crazy I can't play pubg or freefire or anything when I touch the screen with my third finger my aim goes crazy ( sometimes goes up , sometimes 180°) I want to know if is it my touch screen is broken or is it software related
In GIF I'm trying touch with my third finger and notice how the red circle jumps
Edit : I noticed that this problem come when the phone is a little warm which never happened before
The problem goes away when i lock and unlock the phone but comes again after a bit of time
It's a digitizer failure. My S6 has the same issue for 4-5 months. (I'm using my S6 for 3+ years).
You can do nothing about it but changing the digitizer.

Thank you
I think it's not worth it replacing digitizer with 100+ $ .right ?
Especially on this old phone
