When I flashed my rooted captivate with serendipity and then again with phoenix, I noticed that sometimes the screen would get vertical bars running down it.
For example, in gmail, only the top bar where it says inbox and my email name will have vertical bars going across. If I touch the screen it will go back to normal though. Anyone have any ideas?
This did not happen with my previous captivate (it had random shutdowns so I exchanged it).

Does this happen on stock too? If yes, get it replaced.
I've always enjoyed the stock browser and it's suddenly started to behave very oddly. I'm running up to date CM10 nightlies.
1) when I type the screen starts to move up on every key press. This happens with both dock and on-screen keyboards.
2) I use the quick controls (pie style) which removes the tab/search bars at the top of the screen. Sometimes this works fine, but other times the tab/search bar remains along with a strange legacy streak of the blue lines which indicate page download progress.
At first I thought t was due to an update in the Nightly (to 8th April) but I've flashed back to an earlier Nightly and the problem is still there.
Has anyone else seen this before? Any ideas what might be happening and how to cure it? Other browsers seem fine (I'm typing this on Boat).

Bump -still happening (15 nightly)...no ideas out there?
Hey all.
Finally got the P2P today, and so far it has been a very positive experience. I'm coming from the rather old Samsung Galaxy Note 3, so its a major upgrade in terms of screen size, resolution and raw power.
There a few annoyances though, which I really hope there is a solution for.
First, on the galaxy note the left button acts as a settings menu throughout the ui. Is there something similar here? Or at least a workaround?
Second, in full screen apps I can't simply pull down the notification bar by sliding down at the top. I have to exit the app, which is so impractical i'm thinking it must be a bug?
Hope somebody knows something i don't.. thanks in advance .
Re: the menu button in the tray, that's gone on all new Android phones. Blame Google. Menu's in the app now, upper right corner, the vertical ellipsis. Means if you have an old program without a built-in menu & the developer hasn't updated it, you're screwed. Won't be able to open menu.
And the top notification area? I just tried pulling it down in 4 different apps--worked in all. Try pulling from top/off-screen to down.
Thanks for the reply.
Guess I will have to live with the settings change like everyone else.
Much worse is the lack of notification bar. I tried with apps like chrome, gmail and 9gag that displays the bar at all times. No problem there. The problem is in fullscreen apps that hides the bar. Like the camera app, games and the AR apps. Tried your advise with placing finger outside screen, no change. The problem is both in portrait and landscape mode.

Got the latest update? December brought mine to PB2-690Y_161202
Yes, got the latest update.
I'm gonna try a factory reset tonite to see if that helps.
Tried a factory reset, no change. Gonna write to Lenovo to see if a fix is coming.
What apps are you having the issue with being unable to pull down the notification tray? I play a few games on my P2P and they all run full screen and I am able to pull down the notification window in each of them.
I play Dominations and Boom Beach mainly. Also got the problem on the Tango apps that use full screen. Such as the Dino app, Holo e.t.c.
Odd fact: When the app runs a video, like the beginning of the dino app, the notification bar can be pulled down. But when it goes to the regular mode, I can't.
Assuming you haven't messed with anything in Developer settings or put an app on it that is screwing with the touchscreen, then you absolutely have a buggy phone. You need to return it.

I tried Boom Beach, Star Warss Force Arena, and Hill Climb Racing and I cannot pull the notification tray down in any of them. This is not really a problem for me. I know I could on my last phone(Nexus 6), but it doesn't bother me that I can't now.
I seem to be having a problem with Instagram not loading notifications and images in the app properly. Like in the notification tab, for instance, i'll swipe down to refresh and it shows the progress circle and loads for very long times.
Also when connected to wifi my posts always seem to fail on instagram and snapchat. I never had this issue prior to 7.0
Ive been out of the loop since the GS7 launched so if theres something Im overlooking id appreciate the help!
Thanks folks!

Good day.
With the lastest version of note 10 firwmare, that comes with Apps edge v5.1.11, 2 app icons disapear after the phone locks, and it's always the same apps.
In the previous versions, it did not happen.
Thank you.
Hello again, i have solved the problem. Those apps that disappeared were in the deep hibernation list.
