no mate
thats not correct
just look at your "quick start guide" pages ,
there is a mic on bottom , and another mic for speaker on top .
i mean the right side of Spen,
i'm wondering , there is not anything about it on the "quick start guide"

I see yeah . . .it a microphone i think . . Try watch a youtube video were the phone is explored from back to front etc ? I sure thats why i say its a microphone .

He mentions its a microphone
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

to the right of the spen on the bottom right corner of the phone, it is for the temp and humidity sensors.
if you take the phone apart you will see there is a rubber piece there and it is clearly a temp sensor

thanks
so it has 3 microphone !!! wow

Nooo! You have one mike on the top and one on the bottom, the hole on the right is for the thermometer and humidity sensor.
Jest download an app from play store and see for your self.

Yes it's one of the most inaccurate thermometers in the world.

Black clipping (2013 thread) news from samsung.

Hi,
since i bought my note i discovered that it has black clipping issue.
The thing i've notice is that, if i set display mode to "film", in gamma test i can see up to number 3 (with a moderate predominance of red) and then black, instead of 4 and then black.
For this reason i assume that all our problem are based on a bad calibrate gamma but i'm a bit skeptical since some user don't have any problem.
all the thread i've found
There is some news, from samsung (after 14c oct) or supercurio? what do you think about a possible solution with upcoming JB release?
If you have your warranty why dont you go to a samsung service?

I sent mine back, got a new one from another vendor, the new one had the same issue. I actually have not noticed it for some time and watch alot of movies on my Note. I am using rocket rom v12.
Black clipping and blotches have marred Note since day one. Blotches can't be fixed as it's a "feature" of **every** Note's screen. My **fifth** Note also has blotches, but they are around the screen and not easily detectable. Black clipping can only be fixed in kernel: eg. Speedmod kernel has almost completely got rid of it.
Both issues have been discussed to death. If you need more info search Note and Galaxy Nexus forums.

Its a hardware issue. I have questioned many samsung service centers. It only happens when the brightness is low like in night mode. Otherwise its not appreciable.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
anyway i asked again on Samsung developers
if they were working on this issue, they should have CLEAR idea by now.
luckily i have the same problem
this is the reply of samsung:
Hi,
We have no further news regarding the update.
We will let you know as soon as we get any any information.

Its the hardware issue and note was a beta testing device for samsung. So the issue is resolved in note2. So obviously they wont be changing the hardware of note in warrenty.

What was beta? Pentile screen?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Its NOT hardware!.. It can easily be fixed if they really wanted to do it.. Try this app called Camera JB+. It comes with a Gallery. Try the gamma image test in that gallery.. Much better gamma setting or whatever..

That clipping is only in very low brightness or in night mode. Its not present at all at the brightness levels present by default. If u decrease the brightness further then only u can appreciate it.

its present but maybe not noticeably..
the problem will be solved only if they will introduce the possibility of gamma tuning.

got a regular silicone case. better for drops and i think its kinda gay to only look at 1/4 of the screen unless you remove the cover, when you can always look at 100% of the screen.
I have to agree... What's the point in looking at a portion of your screen? When most likely you'll open it up fully to reply?.

Haha yeah but just having the ability to see some without exposing your whole screen is kinda cool.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
using about 2 days.. it is nice but would be better if someone mods the sview screen adding more apps and abilities. now you only can take notes use camera and listen music.
I was very tempted in buying sview case but then i thought about it for a moment why did i buy note 3? One of the main reasons because of the massive screen so what's the point in buying sview so I can cover up most of the screen!!
The first thing i thought about was "Wont some part of the screen be unprotected with that case?, i don't want any scratch on my phone"

I want it for viewing the message details without having to unlock the phone. I can bring it out of my pocket, glance at it and put it away. Swiping to unlock may not take long, but I generally have a password. I am hoping that the SView allows me to view the info even with a password lock
In time I'll get the Gear, but only when I know it works and probably when they reduce the inflated price (more than many phones!).

Unresponsive Screen During Calls!

Hi
I've had my S4 for a while now and just got the 4.3 update of late I've noticed that during a call my screen goes black but I can't get it to comes to life or doing anything, I can't hang up either, it comes to life when the person hangs up the call!
Any ideas
Thanks

nexus 4 doesn't wake up from the power button

I have a problem with my nexus 4
I am using stock 4.4 latest one and I am rooted and using closed fw
The problem is when I wake up I found that the alarm doesn't wake me up and th e phone is like shutting down I think it's freezing on the black screen and I cannot open it from the power button and I have to long press the power button to shutdown it and press it again to power it on and I found a missed alarm I don't know if that from the KitKat or from the root or what actually I didn't had this experience on JB
So if I can solve this just let me know Guy's
thanks

What about a broken power button? I've replaced a bunch of them on sgh-t989, so what if it happened to the n4? I've been using mine ever since it was released in 2012 and there's no issues, but you never know... Just my first thought...
Also, the proximity sensor/headphone jack ribbon cable can be disconnected without affecting the usability of the phone, so i guess he could try doing that, if you say that it might need replacement of it.
Have u got chance to check proximity sensor , as other member suggested just remove sensor n check , it will even work without sensor but u may find your problem

I agree with the friends above.
Definitely hardware failure, that sad.
Happened with my S4 too.
This is definitely a hardware failure.
I went to the service centre and they replaced the screen for free as the mobile was under warranty.
You better hurry up and get it fixed ASAP. :good:
