[FIX] Lines near the edge appear curved when draw near the edge of the screen - Galaxy Note II General

While searching for a fix from samsung FAQ due to charging hissing, I saw this FAQ from Samsung site. This guide don't appear on some of the country's Samsung FAQ, but it shows up in International Samsung FAQ.

I tested it, and it works!
P.S., I went to my local Samsung Service Centre, they replaced my hissing charger with a new one instantly without asking any question. I'm sure they knew about this. The most interesting part is the the charger is heavier compared to the my previous one.
Do let me know if this thread is already created.
Thanks in advance,

Tried this, and it doesn't work for me. When set to Right Handed, there's a minor deviation. When set to left handed, there's a far more severe deviation.

Depends on which Hand you write with
Accidentally sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2

Nope, and the phone can't tell which hand you're using anyway. I tried both settings. Left handed has a more pronounced deviation, but there's still a deviation for both hands. And I tried that with both hands too.

Just try to draw with this two angle, and you will know the difference.
Accidentally sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2

I know how to draw lines. It deviates on both settings, it's just significantly worse when set to left handed. The position of the pen itself is irrelevant.
Yours is deviating on both too, though not as much as mine is.

Body actually thinner than 11mm?

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if the device body is actually even thinner than 11mm. Why? Because the size is usually measured by the thickest part of the device, which in this case is the popping out camera. Think I already mentioned that somewhere...or maybe in another forum, never mind.
You can clearly see on the "Specification" part at the HTC website (picture of side of device) that the camera is the popping out. Just zoom in the picture.
What I just saw and what strenghtens my thought: The website includes the camera in the 11mm! So the "body" could be 10mm or even less.
Here is a zoomed in picture of what I mean. It's from HTC's website, I just added the red line. What do you think?
I'm also wondering why nobody actualy measured the size in any of those previews...

As mentioned somewhere else......it´s not so much the size, that matters....it´s the performance......

(Yeah, saw that ^^)
Yeah, with emphasis on "so much" ^^
If that device was 18mm thick nobody would've be that much interested. Even with 14mm it would still be unattractive because of its total size.
And even now, people are wondering if the device isn't too big for them. Making it even thinner could resolve those manners.
And maybe there are more people like me who try to imagine what it could feel like to hold that device in the hand, maybe also with building a paper model of it ^^ So 1-2mm thinner device feels a lot more comfortable =)
AND almost every preview compares the thickness, so it IS somehow important. ^^
Agree with Kabakara,
I already built a model from paper
gotta love the thin slim look... I wouldn't have gone HD2 if it was 14mm or thicker..

lighter spot on gray background on the screen ??

i just noticed 2 spots one on the right and the other on the left
they appear as lighter than surrounding area in a gray background only in low brightness
they are ill defined .... not a ring
i ll post a pic later on
any help about this ??
I believe this is a limitation on the SAMOLED+ ( was not there on the original SAMOLED ) some phones dont have this un-uniformity of rendering greys but probably a good majority have.

i searched before posting but didn't found any similar thread
so whats the problem ..... is it normal
it is not obvious but it is annoying to have it in a new device only
in normal use i don't see it but the only screen that i can see it when looking for battery usage as it gives the screen a plain gray color

You have 3 choices:
1. Do nothing - no problem under normal use, so why whine?
2. Return the phone.
3. Find one of the 306507 threads involving screen defects and filled with the rantings of some of the most disturbed people you could ever wish to meet. Won't "cure" your phone, but it may be of some succour.
I recommend #3 for you.

I actually have the same issue, and ended up in this thread. I'm just gonna live with it, not a big spot in my case.

Note 2 sighting!

I need some help. I am an ATT Note user and I live in Chicago. I notice when other people have Notes and always try to talk with them. Today I was about to do that when the man moved his hand and I noticed that he had a large physical button and two virtual buttons on the device. I looked at it for a while and finally asked what phone it was. He looked confused and said it was the Note. I asked if it was the Note 2 and he looked shocked and said, "umm, I dont think that's out" then he looked away. He was a normal middle aged man in casual atire. The phone had no 4G, but he had wifi on (probably a mobile hotspot). Does anyone know how the heck he could have gotten the phone. The only thing I could think of is a big time executive, but there would be no reason at all for him to be in my neighborhood and on the bus.
I know you can not see anything in the picture, but I can prove my point. You CAN see the samsung logo on the left side of the device. His hand on the right is covering the physical button. If this was the Galaxy Note the screen would not turn in that direction (unless he was rooted) . I know it's a leap of faith but I promise there was a physical button and that is the Note 2.

I'm sure there are plenty of phone testers wandering around doing phone signal tests/etc.
Before Canon releases a new camera they always loan them out to people to beta test (under NDA)
If I was testing a prototype I wouldn't tell anyone what it was, lest someone try to steal it.
- Frank
I had a manager at T-mo tell me yesterday he's seen/played with the Note II, also hinted at a possible mid october release. but i don't have much faith in him.
anyway, i'm sure there are a handful of Note II's out there. gotta test them somehow.
I think this is how they got pictures of the iPhone 4 two years ago.
The international version of the note 1 (n7000) has a large physical button and 2 soft buttons as well, Just the same as the note 2..
It can be easy to confuse the two..
So, did the phone look like this ?
it could very well be a Note n7000
Thanks for the feedback everyone!
Prolly was the original note

What are the little white dots on the edge of the Note 4?

I've noticed 8 white or translucent squares on the top and bottom on both the back and the front of the chamfered edge of the Note 4?
Does anybody know what these are, I'm very curious!

Hi,
They are gaps in the aluminium for the antenna to get a signal through.
I hope this answers your question
Sam
Thanks for that, I just realised now that we are not supposed to ask questions here in this forum.
I thought general meant 'anything' but clearly not.

Nope. Here's where the antennas are located. There's plenty of signal access through the front and back of the phone; and those puny dimples wouldn't really help. What you described is typically used on metal-backed phones (EG: iP6, HTC One M7) and are a lot bigger.
I'm wondering what they're for too. If I had to guess I'd say to allow for expansion/contraction from temperature or to allow some flex either for real-world bending or to facilitate production and assembly.
Ha. I didn't even notice till you pointed this out. I think it looks kinda neat myself.
Maybe it's something to do with the VR capabilities.. maybe?
Also if you look right up close on the black part of frame there are slightly raised bumps in line with the white dots, curious, aesthetics or something else?
It looks better than the back of iphone 6

that is to cover that the cut goes all through! some sort of sticker which is then also coated...
reason for these cuts could be either manufacturing or radio performance!
I'm also thinking it might simply be structural.

Those who have S7s already, any hardware quirks/flaws to look out for?

My S7 Edge is coming tomorrow and I'm always paranoid about things like stuck pixels, dead pixels etc. Have any of you noticed anything that would make you want to exchange for another device?
Yeah. My S7 has way too many pixels. [emoji23]

got my s7 last wednesday and i absolutely love it!
no dead pixels, vibrator is strong, buttons work well and are responsive, speaker sounds fine, and the glass front/back are perfectly clear, not a scratch on it. And the Titanium Silver color is beautiful! I really don't want to put a case on it!!
Samsung has never let me down in terms of hardware flaws out-of-the-box.

No issues yet. Only quirk is installing apps. I Cannot find the option to disable "allow Google to regularly scan".
