So I recorded a 3.5 hour video last night so I could abuse dropbox and get 5.25gb of storage. This caused those camera buttons to burn into the screen. Anyone have an easy fix for this?
Doubtful. Burn in can happen on OLED screens. Newer screen designs have mitigated it somewhat, but it's just the nature of the beast in this case. I've never personally seen it, but I've seen pictures of it happening on the Charge. It happens due to the breakdown of the organic compounds used in the screen construction.

I know what causes it but on the the old crt monitors there was a quick fix if it wasn't severe.

I would try streaming some movies on netflix. Pick a long movie preferably with a bright setting. Should clear it up. Worked for me in the past.

I've heard if you get a blank white picture where your entire screen is white and leave it that way it will fix it but then it may make your whole screen white. I'm not sure

This. I set my screen timeout to 10 minutes and kept turning it on every time it turned off and eventually it went away. Thanks.

l have problems with my S-Pen where some spots on the screen will not register correctly with light pressure, do that it will jutter arnoud the spot. As I want to use the note for draeing this isn't something I can just ignore.
Is anyone else having this? If yes or no please also state if you have the 3G or eifi only model.

I have the exact same problem and I'm using 3G version.
I was thinking to take my note 10.1 to warranty replacement.
Edit: also when using finger to draw, straight lines are inaccurate, see picture.

With your finger rhat is supposed to happen. Normal capacitive touchscreens aren't as accurate. The S-Pen is using different tech and is not communocating with your normal touchscreen. The pen should be pixel accurate.

That. Doesn't. Help. How hard is it.
I actually went back to the store and the show model and a new model which he got fresh out of the box for me all had the same issue. The Note 10.1 is a poorly made tablet. The pen should be pixel accurate, which it isn't. I actually got an ipad mini instead as Apple offers the best normal capacitive touchscreens on the market.
Hello my friends and welcome to samsung.
Here is how "well" the disgitisers of my note 10.1 N8000, grey, italian with 16GB + 3G, work.
FINGERTOUCH DIGITISER:
S-PEN DIGITISER:
I noticed the issue of the s-pen digitiser first, and just like you, went back to the store to check if the other notes they had there had the same issue. Result: all had the same issue. All in the same screen position. Knowing that the s-pen digitiser is very sensitive to electromagnetic field, and after watching this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUyI74c0DhE&feature=youtube_gdata_player I came to the conclusion that the issue is due to poor screening of the s-pen digitiser. In fact I bet that what we see is the field distortion caused by the electrical current flowing along the vertical battery wires running underneath the screen in that position. That's why the issue appears identical, at identical position on all the notes, because it is an hardware issue due to how badly this tablet was engineered.
The other issue, the one of the fingertouch digitiser, I have discovered it today, after having noticed that scrolling in my tablet was not uniform if i was sliding my finger slowly on the screen, and after having asked myself why so often I was missing to hit the virtual keys on the websites, even though I could swear to have tapped precisely in that position. Well... it appears that our nice friends at samsung equipped our beloved tablet with a digitiser with a ridicoluos resolution of around 40 x 25... (!!!!!!!) This means that we can forget forever precision touch input and smooth scrolling.
I was quite happy of this tablet when i bought it. Now I feel so pissed off that I would like to throw this piece of **** out of the window.
Another thing I noticed is that the Galaxy tab 2 10.1 of my friend does not have the fingertouch digitiser issue. Looks like in order to earn even more money than usual, samsung have introduced this feature into us starting from the latest, very acclaimed note 10.1....
wow....
kind regards, Luca.

now try that but slower and you'll see the squiggles
that's true!!!!! it's like if there's a magnetic interference along a diagonalline in the center of the screen, going from top-left to bottom-right
but only if you draw slowly on that points
Well, yes but not exactly. The inteference is vertical, and as I said, I bet my bullocks it's caused by the battery wires.
The resulting effect is just like when you put a paper sheet over a coin, and you scratch over it with a pen (never done it when you were a child?). As you know, you get the image of the coin underneath.
The "scratches" here are the oblique lines that we draw slowly, and the "coin" is the field distortion caused by the electrical current in one of the wires (of which there are four, but for one reason or another, one must cause more interference than the others).
This being a magnetic induction interference, it affects only the s-pen digitiser.
The issue of the capacitive, fingertouch digitiser (or whatever its name is, sorry but I am not native english), I guess is simply due to the fact that it has a very small resolution, due to samsung deliberately wanting to piss us off

So you're saying a fix would be to take apart the note and apply a better shielding to the battery and wires

Why would I do that if I want a straight line? Pen on paper it's the same, if you go slow enough you will not go straight...
I'm not arguing with anyone, you may be right regarding the interference, but I don't think this device was made to replace a dedicated pro digitizer.
And I did get the general impression that on other tablets the touch is a little more accurate than this one, just to be clear, I'm not saying that is the perfect tablet because I've got one lol. A used 3 tf700 for a week and the screen resolution and touch responsivnes are great, but otherwise is a P.O.S.
I think this note is a decent enough gadget for the price.

It also might not be the display itself. I got my S-Pen wet and when it dried it started to behave erratically. Sometimes it would work perfectly and other times it would be off from the position I had it placed on the screen. It was random. Replacing the pen fixed it.
Don't have this issue with pen or finger using Lecture Notes on Korean made GT-8013 bought from Amazon.
Hey everyone, today I noticed a small white spot on my screen as I was using Google now. It doesn't just appear on light backgrounds, its always there, but more noticeable on light wallpapers.
I need to know if I would be covered by warranty and if they would replace it with this issue, or if there is a fix, that would be great. A picture is attached.
Thanks to anyone that can help and if you have questions just ask me.

No, a lack of a filled in warranty card shouldn't affect anything. Take it to Argos or send it to Samsung for repair. They will not charge you providing you didn't cause it. I've heard good things about Samsung's support.

I haven't taken it back yet as my parents don't think it's a big issue. I'm being persistent though, maybe by the time the new generation is out they'll realise how irritating it is to someone with OCD.

If it was mine I'd struggle too.
Not too sure if Samsung would fix it for you, it does seem minor. I would be affected too. I'm quite sure that whenever you turn the screen on, your eyes automatically goes to that spot.
Have you tried cleaning the screen? The spot could be there because it was rubbed too much. You can try zippo lighter fluid to clean it the whole screen. Avoid the non-glass areas though. Take it to Samsung if it doesn't work.
If Samsung refuses to fix it... I would try a screen protector.

You can move the "dot" around on the screen (different locations). On my watch it comes and goes. I think it may have something to do with the fitness app. It is certainly no defect on the screen.
Am I missing something or is Samsung missing something? It would seem to me ONE of the big advantage of the "edge" is to see your notifications when the phone is laying on the table or a flip case is closed. So is there a setting to have the actual edge light up with notifications when the screen is off? I can rub the edge of course and swipe the panels to get to the notification panel but I want it to actually scroll like the news feed panels do. But when the screen is off and me not touching it.

It shows music track information by itself - anything else requires the Augmented SmartWatch Pro app - opening on the Android phone does nothing.

It only shows a black screen with optional information on the edge part, even with the paid app you mention. This is sort of similar to what you would want/expect, but not really.
First of all it does not work when you close the official Samsung Note Edge cover, because that shuts off the screen. A proper solution needs to be integrated in the OS, either by Samsung or a very capable developer.
Personally I could not get anything useful (to me) on the Edge screen through these apps so I used the Refund option.

Let me ask you this out of my own ignorance. Is the flip cover different than my covering the phone's sensor with a piece of cloth? Or does it have magnetic sensors?

It is magnetic. It is like any normal flipcover but leaves room to show the Edge-part of the screen.
Its purpose is somewhat diminished because closing it turns of the whole screen. You can only get the Edge-bar to show by swiping up-and-down it. I hope someone is able to show the clock or which music is playing when it is closed and charging. An oversight by Samsung if you ask me.
Ok thanks. If the flip cover does disable the screen, then I suppose no app would turn it on... yet. That said, the apps I mentioned work for me. The entire notifications are displayed on the edge.. I don't have the flip cover, but when the screen goes to sleep, an alert would display on the edge just as it would on the status bar.
Any chance this will work on my s6 edge?
I was wondering why text messages weren't lighting up on the edge screen with screen off..using Google Hangouts. I think Samsung has failed miserably on support like this or even dev support from their Samsung store.

Ummmm... I get time on my edge all the time, not just when I swipe on it. I'll do some research and see if I can get it to light up on notifications. Might actually get off me lazy arse and write an app for it

Hey xda, I mentioned this in one of the modded camera app threads. I was wondering if one you geniuses can create a so called "water mode" for the stock camera app. What I want it to do is disable the touchscreen because every time I dive in water while recording, it stops recording. I was hoping someone can activate the physical buttons to do basic picture or video functions. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem. Thanks in advance

I would think operating the physical buttons under water could compromise water resistance.
The phone is not rated waterproof anyhow.
I've taken my phone into the water quite a few times already, I've had no issues with water damaging the phone. None at all. But that's not the reason I started this thread.

Did some digging around and found an "aqua" shooting mode in the stock camera. Since I dont have a clue at all about programming I dont know what to do with this.

I solved blocking screen interactions before putting the phone underwater. Then just shoot with volume buttons! To block screen interaction long press home + vol down
I solved with gravitybox and set soft keys with no action, only sometimes the recording is stopped by water on screen...
Anyway s7 is waterproof, I used it a lot in pool, but my wife with same phone had screen flickering after 20 seconds in 10cm of water... And the assistance is very poor... One month without phone, returned and after 5 days the issue is returned...
Anyway thanks for the hint of block screen interactions, will use next time!
