Ever since the recent update, the touch screen seems less sensitive and slightly out of calibration.
anyone know how to re-calibrate the touch screen?

I would try this..
Go to settings, then language and input, then Samsung keyboard settings, then handwriting, then recognition time. This may or may not solve your problem but it's worth a shot!

I notice this too... sometimes the screen does not registed finger touches.. you have to try two-three times..
Never happened before this update.

My issue as of late is that when I click on small links surrounded by other links on a web page using the stylus, an adjacent link often opens. I am using the hover-dot for the stylus, and both it and the tip of the stylus hit the link that I want, but it actuates another one. The work-around is that I have to double-tap-zoom the screen and tap the link I want, then I can zoom back out.
Anyone else having this problem?

I am also using the zoom feature to open the links. It's a bit annoying, but a workaround...for now
Hey, I still am on the very first version of the note firmware because I don't want to screw up s note.
I get the problem you are describing once in a while, specially if the tablet hasn't been rebooted for days. My solution is a simple reboot and then the responsiveness of the touch is perfect again.
Also to mention is another issue which I get after a few days once in a while, the screen resolution all of a sudden seems messed up. The colors turn out weird and u can see definately more pixels. Maybe the display improving system of the note screen gets turned off some how and i get the pure 1280x800 screen. Luckily a reboot also fixes this. Also both issues happen very very rarely, maybe once a week.

I've found mine doing this too, however it's done it twice in the four days I've had it, it's making me think about exchanging and/or sending it back. Mine is an N8000 International 3G one.
My new Note too

I got a new Note 10.1 about a month ago (July 2013) and I believe it already had the updated version. The touch worked perfectly for about two weeks then - bang - can't touch link at all if it's small, can't get right link if they are close... Sometimes I don't know if I'm trying to touch a link that's "grayed out" or if I'm having a touch problem. I've even had to rub at a link to get it to work. But the keyboard and system buttons seem to work fine???????? How bad do dry hands/fingers affect touch?

Has anyone had problems with their touchscreen not responding to their pen or fingertips? I received my Shift a couple of days ago and I have tried everything that I know to get the touchscreen working. Called support, but they had no solutions as well. The funny thing is, that when the computer first boots, after I enter my password, I can control the cursor for a couple of seconds and then it loses all ability to pick up my movements and taps. Also, when I reset snapvue, I can move the scroll bars but cannot double tap any icons to launch. I am sure it is some sort of software issue, but I have limited UMPC experience.

I had the same problem. I had put my screenprotector the wrong way.
So, try to take of the sheet. Maybe that may help!

Isnt that just classic, I didnt know that you could put a screen protector on the wrong way. Well theres a couple days I wont be getting back. Out of curiosity, what is the right way to put the screen protector on? Thanks for the response - all is well, except for my slight embarassment!
Hmm... a screen protector is sticky on one side, and not on the other.
How do you put it on the wrong way?

Well, just put it once more. But under the edges you should put it correctly. Try your fingernails to put it firmly under the edges.

Any fix for this ugly bug ?
Before HTC HD2 i had iPhone 3G, and it had no such bug.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRrKEDP59XE
This bug works on all apps, the biggest problem is when you type text on virtual keyboard, all buttons around are triggered.
Get a life man.
Obviously it has a sensitive touch screen. It is not a bug. You can decrease the sensitivity using BSBtweeks amongst others. But if you touch and twitch your finger on the screen that's what you get.
And if you don't like it go back to you iPhone.

there are a lot of faulty devices initially which were released. claim your
warranty, bring this back to where you bought it and show them your problem

it is not bug it is due to over senstivity and it is common in capastive screens even my iphone do it but not so much as its screen is smaller
just don't use the tip of your fingure
there are any. cab to lower the sensitivity enough to solve this problem?
thank you very much

you obviously have a defective unit. I tested mine exactly the same way and doesn't have this shaking screen at all. (even at the maximum zoom level at opera.) try to get a replacement.
i was having problems with the sensitive touch screen, not as bad as most, but very annoying. the main one being when trying to press the back key on the keyboard it would randomly hit a letter instead bout 1 outa 5 times. most other things where quite good.
Phone was still quite new so i returned it to virgin for a replacement and this new one works perfectly. Also, my old one had the visible matrix at angles where as this one does not. Also, the sticker on the packet says rev.B. Not sure if its relevant.
Anyway, to some it up, if you are having screen problems that are souring your phone experience and like me you can get a hassle free same day exchange, i'd go for it, cos the difference is really quite large. Previously id adopted to using skype as the normal qwerty was too innacurate for fast input. but now i can type quickly and accurately in portraite mode on the normal keyboard. Pinch to zoom seems to be working much better now aswell.
I have BSBtweeks and low sensitivty in that movie. On/OFF no big deal same effect.
I guess you guys don't have iPhone 3G and don't know how to real TouchScreen should work.
Why are you keeping your finger on the screen for so long?
Why not ?
For example, you scroll web down, and up in one move to see it all etc..
or u use Virtual mouse like notebook touchpad to control your pc cursor over wifi. etc.
I do it on iPhone without this bug.
get the same probleme and bsb don't change anything
LOL @ tags to this thread
I try and I try and I try but I can not replicate the problem in any software at any zoom level....
I have turned the tweak on and off and still cant make my screen do that maybe your phone is faulty,
i had the same problem, get your phone replaced under warranty !
i sent mine out under warranty repair and foud that they did nothing to fix it so i rang them (o2) and told them the problem is still apparent.
they sent me recondtioned model. cant tell the difference (physical) between reconditioned and a new one if you ask me!
i dont have the shakes with this phone
I got the exact same problem. Screen shivers like crazy, damn annoying. Bought in Norway... So it goes under warranty? I thought it was supposed to be like this......

Hi all,
I would like to ask as many people as possible to test the bottom of their touch screens using multitouch visualiser 2 (free from the market).
I (and many others as it seems) are finding the bottom 5-10 mm of the screen is very unresponsive, this can be checked in the above app easily and if you have the problem it will either pick up no input or the "target" will flicker like mad when you firmly press your finger in the area.
I would like to gauge what kind of percentage of units have the problem.
Cheers!
EDIT: I recommend trying this app- it has deffo helped this issue for me!
http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-vega-vega-modaco-com/327198/screen-calibration-app/
Nope... Mine is perfectly fine...
Hi Higgsy.
Yeah a seem to get some problems with the bottom left of mine, It kind of flickers when i move across the bottom 10mm of the left side when using multitouch visualizer. Its fine on the bottom right. I have always had a slight issue when trying to drag shortcuts from that part of the screen to the bin. but apart from the its not a major issue. I was hoping it was a software issue, but your poll suggests it may just be a few units. Have to keep this one until they are in-stock instore anyway.

Thanks mate, that has helped a lot. No more flicker in multitouch visualizer. Dragging icons from that part of the screen is also improved. Seems to just be a calibration problem.
Happy Days

yeahj the whole screen seems much more responsive and keyboard too.
I've only found about a 2mm deadzone near the bottom, not nearly as bad as some that I've seen. Also seems to be a bit hard to press the home button in the notifications bar sometimes.
Thanks for posting that screen calibration app, I'll give it a look

Wow!
Higgsy I want your babies! Had a 10mm dead strip in the bottom left of my display, also had some issues typing on the keyboard, double hits drove me crackers, got to the point I couldn't be bothered to type. Well I used that calibration APK you linked and the deadzone has gone and even better my keyboard is much more responsive
About the babies thing.... might be a problem with me being a 42 year young hairy bloke . Settle for a hearty thanks?
Bumped it on modaco. Searched for this previously but its a bit of a dead thread.
yeah its deffo worth a bump doing one these every week wont hurt.
We could ask to pin this thread?
I put it in dropbox for quick access http://db.tt/QNqL2TB
I can use swiping on Launcher Pro after calibrating the screen, just like on my SGS! Great contribution!
Going to try it now, thanks
Mine was perfect for the first month I owned it, then it got really bad all of a sudden. I ran this app and it fixed it, but now sometimes randomly every few days (or sometimes within a few hours) the very edge where all the connectors are stops working, so if you have it rotated so that is the top, it is impossible to slide down the notification bar.
Running the app again fixes it again, but I hate that I have to keep running the app. It has held perfect for the last 3-days though, so hopefully I didn't just jinx myself.
Hey guys,
I was writing an app today and I was having trouble when pushing two buttons at once. I checked it out with Multitouch Vis Test and the same problem occurs.
What happens is that I touch in two places, then take one of the two fingers off. The tab believes that both fingers are still touching until the second finger is removed. This is quite frustrating. Has anyone else noticed this issue?
Hopefully this is just a software issue but I have a feeling it could be a problem with the touch screen itself.
I'll upload a video when I get home.
I tested with mine. I used Multitouch Visualizer and I was able to get up to 10 fingers simultaneously. It would also update correctly when I removed only one of them, six of them, whatever. Sounds like something is wrong with yours my friend.
Curious because mines on the way... Since these were given out free, does Samsung still provide warranty coverage as if the tab were a retail purchase?

I first noticed this happening in a YouTube video about the phone, but figured it was just a fluke. I've now begun to notice that I too have problems when tapping items in the upper corners of the phone.
Many times I'll tap a menu item and nothing happens. Even subsequent taps do not always register a press. I'm using stock everything.
Is anyone else experiencing this with their Pro3?
It Is not a problem, you have to be more accurate when you touch the corners!

Mine also has the issue, however, only when I use my thumbs for some reason. When I use my fingers I do not have the problem. If you go into developer options, under input, select show touches. With that setting enabled you can see the touches that the phone actually registers and which ones it misses. If the developer options are not visible to you, go to about phone in the settings menu, and tap build number several times until they become enabled.
i also have this problem BUT ive realized that its caused by my screen protector. Try switching to one that doesn't cover the bezel since those that do, tend not to completely cover the middle and corners of the phone due to the phone's curved glass. that should solve the problem.

I'm just using the factory installed screen protector.
Screen protectors are a nightmare on these things.
Not screen protector
This is not a screen protector issue. Guys, don't go ripping yours off, it doesn't help. I tried before. This is a firmware or panel issue. The company already recognizes this as a previous poster linked to it. I also started a thread about this issue weeks ago.
I also notice this issue on stock and CM.
me too

I think you're right. I updated last night and haven't had any upper corner touch issues. Props for LeEco on fixing it so quickly.
Update: It has been 3 days and I haven't had a single upper corner miss touch since the 20s update. I'm really happy that it got fixed.
