Sometimes it just stops working for a few minutes. I think it just vibrates the prongs out of place. Is there a better one I can buy, or a tweak I can make so it stays more secure? Thanks.
If you think it's a hardware issue, you can send it in for repairs. You can also try flashing a different kernel and adjusting the vibrator intensity down so it doesn't jiggle the parts as much.
It's not a big enough deal for me to warrant sending it in honestly. I'm just wondering what tweaks are out there since I was pretty sure this was a common thing with the launch devices.
I'll ask my wife and get back to you

Hello,
my Backbutton activates itself. While I am watching Videos, or whatever I do it stops shining and I am out of every application I'm using. After about half a minute it's shining again and I can use it normally. It's like pushing the button multiple times. Does anyone has an idea how to fix it? I tried different roms but it looks like an hardware failure to me.

Happened to me as well it is an issue sometimes with samsung but covered under warranty bring it in to sprint
Hit the thanks button if i helped
Sending it back for support is not an option for me. I imported my device from the US to Germany. The support at Samsung Germany told me that they are not responsible for AMOLED devices.
My second problem ist that my IMEI is crashed since I flashed a rom where the dev made a little mistake. So Samsung won't give me any support.
I thought about changing the display but the price for a new one is about 190 Euro. Way too much... I can assemble and disassemble the device but I think that cleaning the device will not solve the problem.
Any suggestions?

It has nothing to do with the display though.
That's likely the part failing:

Verify that the one you currently have isn't simply not connected right.
Thank you. I will have a look if the part is not right connected.
Maybe I have to replace it. But in that case 25 Euro are much cheaper than 190.

This happened to me once. A day later my display completely died. I could turn on my phone, answer calls, etc the touchscreen worked, but I couldnt see anything. I had to get a new one..
I had this problem too.
I flashed a different radio, and boom!! issue resolved
I occasionally get this too. It only comes up when I'm using cm/cm based kernels though, very odd. I'm on matrix right now and it seems to Beowulf, anybody have some tips or suggestions?

I tried a different kernel and it looks like the problem is solved. I know that you should not count your chickens before they are hatched. But I really think that the kernel was the problem.
Anyway, I am just happy that my phone is working properly.
And now I am waiting for jellybean.

What kernel were you using?
It was not the Kernel!
Changing the radio solved the problem.

I don't see how the kernel would have anything to do with the backbutton. Although if it worked out then hey that's awesome. Amazing how much I have learned by reading the forums on this site.:victory:
Just clean off the the backbutton, and maybe it will stop or you have a software bug.
When I'm charging my tablet the screen is a bit harder to use, I have to press harder and when I'm scrolling it stops and selects whatever I my finger was over, is this normal? Or is my tablet faulty?

It might be a grounding issue. Try flipping the charger block upside down and plug it in. I heard of that fixing it before. I don't have that issue though. If it still keeps occurring, you can get them to send you a new charger or exchange device if still under warranty.
This is normal for touch screen devices, in my experience. While charging, the touch screen is a little bit more jumpy or less sensitive.
It may be a side effect of some aspect of your power supply or charger. Whether it is a little bit of line noise that affects the capacitance measurements in the phone, or something else, I don't know. The effect may be stronger at certain times, or for certain people. For me it happens a lot more on my Galaxy S2 than my Galaxy Note 10.1, and a lot more at home than at work.
I get it with my phone, I've herd that its a problem with the circuity but I was just wanting to know if all of them do it or if its just mine in which case I'll take it back

I have a similar issue too, but then I noticed that it's because of how I hold the phone. It may be the case that your finger or palm is covering up the microphone.

Others have experienced the same issue, including me. I found that switching my rom to Cataclysm fixed the problem completely. The other thread is here :

No such thing as poor battery life. Just how you use the phone.
No idea about the yellow display, but camera and audio fixes are a good enough reason to update.
Kernel is different. Eg, can't flash 4.40 kernel on 4.41.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It also fixes the bug where if you only have the lockscreen on slide and get a missed call it unlocks the screen
I would like to hear the voice of who have the unlucky display to understand if the yellow tint is still present...do you think it's a big deal anyway?

The vibration is improved with 4.4.1. It's ""tighter." I don't know if that's how to best describe it, but you know what I mean. It felt weak originally.
The stock vibration level was 63 in 4.4. It is set to 70 in 4.4.1. You can further adjust it via an app called vibration config.

Whenever I hold my phone upright and tap toward the top of the screen (even very lightly), the phone makes a weird clicking sound coming from inside. It sounds to me like the small vibrating spinning part that makes the phone vibrate. I don't know if it's just my model of the device of if this is normal but it's very annoying and noticeable. Also, if I shake the phone even a little I can hear the clicky sound. Not sure if I should take it back and replace it but I wanted to see if anyone else had this problem first?
I have this. Just notice it now. Can hear it from shaking the top of the phone back and forth

Honestly guys, this sound has always been in HTC and Samsung devices that I've had, and to be honest I didn't hear it in my S4,ehich was Prolly the first device in a while where I wouldn't hear a rattle. Someone mentioned a long time ago that's its the part for the vibration/haptic but I don't see how that could be. But yes, I hear it too, and have no clue what the hell it is lol

Haha, holy cap, it really is the AutoFocus Sensor. Opening the camera, then tapping the phone, no rattle.

Interesting...so its the camera sensor
and when your camera is on, the noise goes away
Well that is disappointing. Guess I'm going to have to try and get used to it. Thanks for the info.

Like I said, any time I even lightly tap the top area of the phone it makes that sound. I wouldn't mind personally if it's just when I shake the phone.
Lmao! Now I can't stop shaking my phone. Just noticed the noise because of this thread.
