Agreed! It doesn't look nearly as beautiful, however, since these S-Pens are only $20 or so, the converted/cut one can be used for more practical use while you can still keep a normal S-Pen to have as well.
Where can you buy a [Note 5] Samsung S-Pen for $20?

Ebay currently has them for that price. 'Note 5 S Pen' search returns these results.

How about you just pay attention, or if your letting a kid play your $800 phone which is stupid, take the s pen out and put it somewhere else. When anyone mentions kids it sounds like parents that don't know how to parent

We agree that this should be common sense, however, we know that some things are inevitable. Phone laying on the table, kid comes up and plays with it for 2 seconds is all it takes, no matter how good of a parent you are.
Being the ballsy "DGAF" person I am, i shoved my pen in backwards like 20 minutes ago after a friend mentioned people complaining it was getting stuck. My first thought was "HA. Idiots... How do you jam it in so bad it gets stuck? And why?" So, I slipped mine in and and thought well, it wont go further, maybe its breaking when they try to force it? So I gave up and tried pulling it out. got like 1.5 inches out and....stuck. Like 45 seconds later, unstuck. All I did was turn the phone screen down and it slid right out

Sorry to say, it sounds like the black lever that it would get caught on may be 'broken'. It's a spring lever so it shouldn't move based off of the phone's orientation.
interesting way to "fix" the issue. Cosmetically it doesn't look as good at the bottom, but then again, who really looks there.

Not made up, just more evidence that such failures are a result of the user and not the phone itself.
For the LED's to break and leak like that, there had to have been some major neglect. It isn't a car key scratching it, then it spreading... it is the screen being compressed enough to impact the LED. That takes some talent!
And this is true of any phone, BTW... google's response is a little "odd" but any touch screen phone has a "no pocket" warning. Take a look at the HD, HD2, Touch Pro 2, et al... even the amazing iPhone, they all have this happen, they all have warnings about not putting them in your pocket, especially with other items or the screen facing out, and back pocket is the absolute worst of all!
I don't get people... I broke my phone, HTC should have to replace it because I am a moron!
Hey
Im wondering if, because of the hinge, can I put the HTC Desire Z in front of me, while I look upwards at the ceiling with me seeing what on the screen...
A (bad ) drawing example is included.
Some sites say that it cant be done but they havent tried it as I havent read anything with personal expirence with this issue and this is pretty important to me. Thanks.
I guess i don't understand. Are you saying that some are saying you shouldn't do this for some reason?
I am able to, but I know others who aren't.
it helps that when I hold my phone to type on the physical keyboard, my index fingers naturally wrap around the screen, which holds it in place... but even if I intentionally move my index fingers so that there is nothing hindering the screen from moving by itself, it does stay up. if I give the phone a slight wiggle, it will pop down though.
again, I believe with these phones it just varies from device to device... the hinge threads I've read have been all over the place.

the accepted fix involves modifying the spring that opens/closes the hinge. there are several threads floating around with the process... note that it does void your warranty, however (you have to partially disassemble the phone). for me, the hinge hasn't been a huge nuisance anyway. yeah, it's loose... so what? you learn and adapt your "methods" to work around it as you use the phone. it has never caused a serious problem for me.
I would like to add that over time I have noticed it does loosen (noticably, but not so much that it has been a problem for me) more and more.. which makes sense because the spring is being compressed and relieved repeatedly.

Obviously, your needs arent the same as mine. You say "so what?" if the screen closes and Id like it to stay open.
Could you please post some links to those threads? Id like to see if the process is difficult.
Thanks
I rarely use the phone laying on my back, but when I do I move my hands a little bit higher on the keyboard and push my index fingers inwards toward each other slightly so that they are touching the device where the screen meets the keyboard. Holds it in place just fine, no need to modify the springs.

I think you misunderstood (I didn't word that very well - apologies). I'm not saying it's not an issue, it is an issue.
but, as I and a couple others have posted here, there is a remedy: positioning your index fingers such that they hold the screen if you are one of the unlucky ones who gets a hinge that is so sloppy that it falls at whim. on my G2, I don't even have to do this, but I do it naturally so it's added security that the screen isn't going to slam shut.
there's no such thing as a perfect phone. but as far as android phones with keyboards go, you're not going to do much better than the DZ/G2 at this point.. that is a fact.
here's a link to the best hinge fix thread I've gone through:

if you search "hinge" in the main G2/DZ subforum, you'll get a plethora of thread matches.

Intresting. Looks a bit complicated though but I guess Ill have to do it if I want to use the phone correctly the way I wanted.
Thank you
Just as a update: I can use my phone perfectly without applying any fix about using it for about 3-4 months. There is no issue at all.

i've never seen anything like that.
screen defect, i'd say.
RMA (unless somebody else knows better).
I have requested a return from the store, i hope it goes quickly. The lines seem to change after each boot. Sometimes the ones you see on the vid, and sometimes just extreme flickering lines.
It kind of reminds me of artifacts on a overheated graphics card
Here is another one showing extreme flicker:

Crazy stuff, happening on a new, just opened device.
Pretty dissapointed at the moment
Looks the same as a partially broken laptop screen looks when its been dropped etc
Return it before they think you have had it long enough to have done it yourself
That is either the GPU or the video RAM failing, NOT a screen issue.
I would just exchange it at the store, make sure to tell them that it was like that when you opened it. Sometimes you'll get smartasses that will try to say you broke it, and that you're trying to get rid of it, even though it's obvious that you couldn't of done that. RMA would be too long of a wait, and they'd probably send you a new one anyways.
I'm no expert, but it looks like how my old laptops look when the flat ribbon connector to the LCD starts to break. Sometimes the wires will still make contact, sometimes they'll break in random patterns, so it could change depending on heat and just the right orientation of things.
Regardless, you should already be in line for a return/replacement. Stop reading this!

The thing is, i ordered it online. From a store that's usually pretty fast with these kind of things, so i hope it turns out ok.
I had to call an asus customer support centre at first though, and they were having technical difficulties, and had to call me back later on. I just hope they call today.

Gutted for you! hope you get it swapped quicky. nothing worse than having brand new kit that is faulty.
Small update, Asus called me back with a reference number to a case they have made regarding the unit, now it is up to the store to give me a return code so i can ship the faulty unit back to them.
Hopefully they dont arse about, and send me a new one quickly.
Return right away! That's pretty messed up.

Finally got a return number, and off it goes.
Today i received an e-mail about the status of my RMA.
A new replacement unit has been sent
It took a while, but they have been swamped in work lately it seems. (Not ASUS, but the store i bought it from)
glad you got that all squared away. I probably wouldnt even be able to articulate the anger I would have felt if that happened to me oh ya, expletives would have been said lol
Hi,
i contacted samsung technical support concerning the newtron rings issue and ask to get an extended warranty through them instead. But i learned that this issue has never been reported to samsung. We should all contact and let samsung know about this issue just in case down the road we encounter this problem. this is actually my second tablet, the first one i got has this problem and it will be just a matter of time for you to get it too. READ THE CONVERSATION i had with samsung. my fear is that samsung will eventually ignore our situation when we get this problem.
Juanita G: Could you please be more specific about the issue with the tab?
gtabby: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...ab-10-1s-experiencing-newtons-rings-is-yours/
gtabby: just to also let you know my first purchase was on maimi and as soon as i landed on chicago i had to run to the closest best buy to get an exchange because of this issue
gtabby: but it seems that it will eventually happen to all tablets...
gtabby: with makes my current tablet a target
Juanita G: Just to confirm, is there any issue with your tab now?
gtabby: no.. but what would i do if i get this issue without a warranty?
gtabby: i can't just live it, i mean this is a a $600+ purchase
Juanita G: I am sorry; there are no reported issues regarding this.
gtabby: ok.. so this is a new issue? and no one has reported this on your end?
gtabby: i'm sure best buy has a few return regarding is issue.. because i return one
Juanita G: I apologize; there are no such issues on this tab model.
gtabby: ok.. please humour me then, what is my next step if i get this issue down the road?
gtabby: this is basically a hardware issue

NEWTON rings, maybee that's the reason they don't know what OP is talking...
humor aside, there are quite a few threads regarding this already, no need for another one!
I don't understand the anxiety. I periodically get them. However, it doesn't affect performance and I can't see them when the screen is on unless I turn it at a extreme angle.

I believe it's evidence of the apocalypse. Isn't "minor tablet defect" one of the four horsemen?
Personally, I liked the new Tron better than the original. Both are fun, though, and shouldn't be taken as literal representations of how computers work or anything. They're metaphors for the interaction of logic and emotion.
Oh, sorry. I've not seen any issue with Newton rings on my tab, but it pretty much just stays at home.

Oh, karma bit me in the ass today.
First time I've ever had the newtons rings. Left the tab out in the sun for a bit (love that I can actually read in the sun on this screen) and had the issue when i picked it up and touched the screen. They went away after a few seconds, literally as I watched, and have not come back. Now that I've experienced it though I can't really see the big deal. You really can't see it when the tab is on. Well, serves me right for making fun anyways.
Haha karma can be a ***** and I bet com me posting this now I'll get my own set.. btw I don't have them. But it seems that there are tons of people that do not have them. Maybe its the way people handle their tabs. Sure these tabs shouldn't have issues from a bit of rough handling or the like. And what's funny to me at least, his that the people that have them and send them into samsung, to be replaced.... they get thm again shortly after the replacement is in their hands. That leads me to belive that they handle it rough. Or something....

I'm guessing it's a warm climate that does it. Like I said in mine, it happened because it was hot. The real question is whether it's really an issue. If you can't see it when it's turned on, why worry about it?
What serial number you have on your tablet?
I have the R63B (3rd batch), no probs what so ever... I was in the sun for a week while in vacation.
Maybe you shouldn't leave it in your car or whatever your doing to create such high heat or humidity... I dunno, never had an issue with mine, but then again, I don't let my tablet or laptops sit in the oven that can be a car on a hot day... Common sense tells me that it isn't a smart thing to do, but I am not an expert.
in my case the cause is heat... if you add pressure to the heat the NR will become worst and take longer time to cure.
My tab gets them when you turn the tab upside down, or if you hold the tab in a vertical position.
I never had this problem until I had the Ghost Armor installed on the back of my Tab. I guess having the tab upside down and the pressure from the install cause this to initially occur. The rings did not go away for several days and then they finally went away but they come back when I turn it upside down or on its side but then go away within 30 seconds.

Didn't mean to thank you for that post. In fact just the opposite. Maybe you're not familiar with the concept of climate. You see in some places the world is warmer than others. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and blame your self-righteousness on your climate.
I have the same problem and it is getting bigger and bigger. I called up Samsung and they also said it isn't a known problem but they would book it in for repair. That would be great however I need it for work.
I've had my Verizon GT 10.1 4g LTE for about a month now and no ring problems here. No other problems either. I love it.

When it gets hot (in the sun) I get distortions in the screen. I once put it in the freezer for a few minutes and they went away until I left it in my car again. Now I put it under the seat.

Ok guys - weird happenings, i use a usb cable from my desktop pc to charge my N4 at times. I had been sitting it on top of the pc tower & it has fallen onto the laminate floor 3 times and came out without injury. So i thought it was vibration from my pc tower, so i have been sitting the phone on my pc desk surface, today i found the phone hanging half way across the edge of the desk. There is no serious vibration to mention from my pc or desk, the phone has not been ringing for the phone vibrate to cause it either. So does anyone else have any paranormal activity with their N4 strangely falling off surfaces??
only thing i notice is the glass bottom surface is very slidey
This has been a problem since day one. Put a rear screen protector on. That'll fix you up.
this is the reason I bought a bumper when I ordered mine
Yeah, that's not paranormal I'm afraid, the back is very slippery, the device can and does slide even with no vibrations at all. Just make sure to place something in the surroundings of the phone when you leave it charging that can block random slides.
cheers guys, this is surely a bad design, im so lucky no serious damage occurred. Ill buy and try the rear screen protector as im not a fan of phone covers etc, Fingers crossed this does the trick. Many thanks guys for the feedback :good::good: :laugh::laugh:

You are charging it with your PC on top of the tower with a cable tugging on it... And you are saying it is bad design? Give me a break.
Try using your charger and maybe put it someplace where the cable will not pull it. This is not rocket science.

I never said i was charging it on top of the pc tower, i sat it there. When its charging its on a flat desk surface as is the charge cable. I have sat the phone on my desk and sat it on top of my wallet and it falls off. So with this phone i will need to be careful how i place it. Of course its a bad design, i should be able to sit my phone flat on a flat surface and not worry about it falling onto the floor. Nexus aint gonna give me a new one if it were to get broken and no warning came with the phone.
oh and you know what, common manners to fellow humans, that aint rocket science :silly:

my n4 has probably fallen/jumped at least 50 times over the past 5 weeks, and its still in perfect condition(no cases or screen guards). luckily, the far majority of falls have been on a carpet, but some have been pretty scary
I can also say that I find mine sliding. It's quite weird actually, from the tests I've done I've noticed that it usually occurs when I have it on my leather couch or my ottoman. Yes, I know it's not a desk but the phone is sitting there rather level. It has also done it on my home desk as well, but not at my work desk (yes, both desks are level). It kind of reminds me of an air hockey table type situation. If you have it on your desk and push it, it doesn't require as much work as lets say an SGS3, Galaxy Nexus, or Blackberry to move. Basically the way it's designed causes it to not create much friction between it and the surface it is on.
Although, none of this bothers me since the phone is a fricken beaut.

Basically the way it's designed causes it to not create much friction between it and the surface it is on.
Although, none of this bothers me since the phone is a fricken beaut.

man this means no where can be trusted to sit your phone. what puzzles me is it always slides off to danger, not further onto my desk .

do you not see that?
wow.
if you have something on top of a flat surface...unless there is something acting upon it...there is no way for it to "slide off" ... how can you perceive that even possible?

im not making fun of him. and there is something acting on it, its called gravity. it does mean that the surfaces arent perfectly flat, but even the slightest non perceivable slant cause it to slide.

Better get a thicker skin quicker as you're dealing with a lot of teenagers in these forums. Its like playing WoW, way too many prepubescent teens.
guys, it's not the phone. It's the surfaces you're placing it on. Most tables/desks are nice, smooth and shiny. Combine that with the glass and a NOT SO PERFECTLY FLAT SURFACE and you get falls
Trust me...it's not voodoo or non-Newtonian physics
Just get any cheap gel case and you're set. I actually got a brilliant one for 2 GBP Really nice looking and with really really grippy sides.
Thread clean. It's really not nice to make fun from someone, especially here - on a biggest tech forum in the world
