S-Pen screen issues - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5

I recently noticed that part of my screen for the S-Pen isn't working. Just wanted to see if anyone had trouble with it or for those who felt something was wrong but couldn't put their finger on it. It'll register your finger presses but will not do so with any S-Pen function in that specific area.

Try diagnostic *#0*#

Ran the test and now it works. If it pops up again going to do an exchange. Thanks for showing that diagnostic tool

Ok it came back and I believe I found the real culprit. That's a magnet and it coincide with where I was having trouble with the screen.

Glad you found the culprit. Had the same issue with the magnet on my folio case causing a dead spot. Annoying, but thankful it's not an actual issue with the phone. Time for a new case.

<ADVICE> GPS Fix (old fix but still works)

Yesterday, I was out of town and took a wrong turn. I got a little lost and decided to use maps. I couldn't get a lock at all. Opened up GPS STATUS & TOOL to confirm that I couldn't get a lock on any satellites. I rebooted and that didn't solve it either. Luckily, I had a set of precision screwdrivers in the van and used a #0 to tighten all the screws in the inside of the back of my phone. I didn't even power off to do so. After this, I replaced the back cover and opened the app again. INSTANT LOCKS WITH 10FT ACCURACY.

I can't guarantee this will work for you but, it couldn't hurt. I hope this helps someone. Don't blame me if you break stuff. [emoji3]

Google tap to speak voice to text frozen.

I could replicate this all day long. On any application that I could use the voice to text, if I accidently don't close it out and I hit my power button to turn the screen off it will freeze and can not be removed until I reboot the phone or give it about 5 minutes and it will eventually disappear. I've gone as far as factory setting this thing twice and it still does it. Any other ideas or does this happen to anyone else?

I'm glad I'm not the only one, but I'm surprised not many complaints.
I tested on a 3rd note 5 today, same thing.

Possible fake lockscreen malware?

I have no lock screen activated on my S6 but after about 10 minutes of screen off, I get this random lockscreen.

All I have to do to get out of this screen is hit the back button but still have NO idea why this is here. Anyone ever see something like this?
DL mcafee anti virus and scan to see if it's detected. Also try the I'm built scanner too.

Looks like the iPhone lockscreen and if you are certain you did not set up security, I would lean towards that actually being malware

Solar Eclipse

Does anyone have any advices on taking pictures of the Eclipse or using it? I'm taking precautions just in case it won't damage my phone.
Use a solar filter.
Use a tripod.
Use voice commands.
Use pro mode and bracket your exposures.
And don't miss the once in a lifetime event because you were too focused on the camera.

Voicemail notification that cannot be dismissed

Hello all. So I have a gear s3 through t-mobile. It used to have a dedicated line but I canceled it. Apparently, that line received a voicemail at some point and I never listened to it. Now I have a notification that cannot be dismissed or deleted. T-mobile was no help and Samsung wants me to send it in to be looked at. I've done a few searches with no luck. I decided to check in here, XDA has always been helpful. Anyone else have this issue?

I should note that I have tried factory resets as well as disconnecting and powering down, nothing has worked.

Update: No one at T-mobile could figure out how to delete/dismiss the notification so they decided to send me a new one. Even though it was a minor nuisance, the reps said that it was unacceptable for such an expensive device to not function properly. I got lucky.
