I just got my device back from warranty and noticed the my keyboard is ghosting bad. Other items as well. Download root browser. And open a file that's empty. And I can see it real good. Like any image I leave on device fore 5 sec or so ghosts. And it's anoyying. I'm on 7.0 still partcyborg rom. I know it's nothing on his rom doing this
Not as bad as yours. Yours looks lime a software issue as it's caught in a screen shot. Mine can't be photographed in ss

yes I thought so also that it might've been a bad flash or bad software but reinstalled Oreo and does the same thing on stock keyboard also.

I have the same issue. I've noticed it happens while using search, then opening the requested app. It's as if the launcher doesn't know how to disengage the app when no longer needed. Also, I'm using Microsoft's Launcher, so I think that my be ano th her part of the issue (3rd party launchers). Anyone else notice the same behavior?

I've found that using the dolphin browser is what did it to mine. Uninstalled it and I haven't had the issue since.

Camera won't focus

Recently I found the camera fails to focus in various occasions. The image in the viewfinder stays blurry no matter how I configure the camera app (stock/3rd party). But it can capture clear close-up shots so I assume the camera is somehow fixed at macro shots. To fix this issue, I have to open something like Barcode Scanner (which will continue adjust the focus) and leave it for a couple of minutes. Then the camera will be working again for a few hours or so or until I reboot the phone.
Does anyone encounter the same issue? I would like to know whether it is hardware or software problem.
PS: I am pretty sure this is nothing related to any sort of settings/configurations.
It happen here, too...

Check your macro configuration.

As I said I am sure it's nothing related to configuration. It's more likely to be related to software (if not hardware, which is still possible).

I have this problem with third part apps too.
I have no problem about this.
No matter I use stock camera, vignette or camera360, it focuses normally.
What camera app are you using?
Sent from my Milestone 2 using XDA app
i have no problem at all. whether i use the stock camera app, or cameraFX, my camera has no issues focusing at all.
since nobody else is actually experiencing the problem, it might be something related to a fine setting, or an application thats interfering with your camera app. why not u try a hard reset and see if solves the problem?

Thanks for your reply. Goggle often freeze and cannot focus normally.
The picture will be blur when I put the camera about 30cm away from the targets using goggle app.
Do you have the same problem? I don't know whether it's a software problem or firmware problem.

I saw many ppl meet this problem on Chinese forum even using the internal-camera app.
I think it's firmware's problem.

its quite odd that different firmwares seem to pose different problems: ie from what i noticed those running GB and EuroRetail versions seem to have a problem with the responsiveness of their hardware keyboard. AsiaRetail has a bug issue with the contacts search, and now the ME722 with a camera focus issue. what i have seen with my camera is after a reboot, when i capture a picture, the picture ends up being captured, but the capture animation freezes until i hit one of the soft keys. not really a bother but its still an issue
really, it all boils down to the same argument, that Motorola and MotoDevs really need to address these issues in fixes and updates, cuz really though some bugs arent that annoying, certain ones like a malfunctioning keyboard and a non-focusing camera can be a real pain in the a**.
@ the person tho started this thread: why not you try to flash Argen2Stone ROM? perhaps that might solve your problem?

Sadly, I am currently using Argen2Stone 1.8, but still experiencing the problem.
I tried to flash back to UK2.2, which the phone came with, but still no luck.
The "barcode scanner" trick temporarily solves my problem. Yet who wants to run it for a few minutes before taking photos?
I swear I won't purchase any Moto smartphone in the future. They simply ignore customers outside the US.

[Q] Dead Pixel

please understand me for i dont know where to put this question
im having a dead pixel or bug when im opening my gallery application.
there is a rainbow color at the upper left corner of the apps.
anybody who can tell the possible solution?
You have it only on the gallery or everywhere? If it's everywhere then flashing stock rom won't help.
You might want to take it for repair or do it yourself in that case.
Never had the problem myself personally but that is just what I think.
try using 3rd party image preview applications like Quickpic,
and see if the pixelated image still occurs
uhm
it only happens when i open my gallery but quick pic and other gallery apps are ok and no dead pixel.
i tried to change to custom rom (hyperion, creed and now ussr) also custom kernel.
updated to latest stock but problem still occurs.
well thats weird,never heard or see,but thats not dead pixel,because dead pixel are one mini point on screen in white/black.(in the most).
uhm
yeah i thought this is just a bug on default gallery application and not dead pixel
or maybe its a hardware problem or malware?
i will bring it to tech personnel soon and hope they can fix bug.
thanks to your response.
its only me who has the problem. du**mb phone
Are you using a Chaifire3d app ? maybe that problem from it

twitchy browser, zooms in out while scrolling?

Does anyone else have this annoyance?
While scrolling up or down the browser will sometimes zoom in and out of its own accord.
Is there a fix or tweak for this please. ?.
I have tried other browsers, same problem...
It is normal. Touch wiz has edge zoom on the edge of the browser window. I and many others hate this feature with the burning passion of a thousand exploding stars. There is no fix on stock for this known to me. The only thing you can do is invision the fleas of a hundred camels all bitting the genitalia of the nimconpoop who thought this was a good idea.

It's by design and it's gone with the latest JB update (LL3).
I must be one of the few who used this... I mean, it IS an annoyance during normal use but if you pair the tablet with a BT mouse (which is extremely useful to me on some occasions) it's very useful because you can zoom in and out without touching the screen.
Anyway, it works (worked) only on the stock browser, on Chrome, Opera or any other one it doesn't (never has).
Just to clarify, this happens on me when scrolling from anywhere on the screen not just from the side? And with other browsers...
Did they deliberately go out of their way to make it twitchy?

Then you must have some other problem..
I have never used my N8000 under ICS because the day I bought it was the day they released JB for the N8000 ( :highfive: ) so I updated it as soon as I got it out the box but on the 2 versions of JB I have been running the tablet was/is almost perfect.
I recently updated to LL3 ITV (the Italian one) and then flashed through Mobile Odin Pro the CWM 6.0.2.3 (the touch version) to complete the update. The update solved the only problem I had with LJ9 which I have been running since I bought the tablet 2 months ago: the keyboard lag (and a problem in the gallery displaying high-res pics has been fixed too).
Very welcome changes are also more MultiWindow apps (and among them Youtube finally!), the return of the S-Note widget which lets you display a note on the home screen and some other minor features which can be enabled under settings.
Polaris was also updated (the update was previously shown as available in Samsung Apps but attempting to actually updating it resulted in Polaris FC'ing) and now the system OTA update check works even if the system is rooted and has a non-original recovery.
BTW, I usually do full wipes and a clean install but out of sheer lack of time this one time I have updated through Mobile Odin Pro (and have kept root). Everything runs beautifully but, again, apart from the annoying keyboard lag I really didn't have any real problem before too.
What a fantastic tablet.

Yea it still zooms in other browsers for me as well. But if its zooming away from the e6dge try a factory reset id say.

Stock gallery slow rotation.

On stock gallery for no obvious reason screen rotation when viewing pictures can become very slow. Is anyone else facing such an issue?
Hi !
Yes, I was just looking for that, and found this post.
Now we're officially two facing that issue :/
EDIT : it's actually in every app that rotates, not only in gallery.
True that..it happened after 4.4.2 update..
Sent from my SM-N900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hey, I have the same problem, the screen rotation was ridiculously slow (3-5sec) in every app.
However, I just contacted Samsung about this issue and they said that a factory reset would solve it.
I'm gonna try that now and after I'll let you know if it actually worked!
the stock samsung gallery has always been horrible and slow, since my first SGS2 to my actual SGN3 n9005.
I solved the problem by switching to quickpic from the android market. its free, no ads, the same functions (and some more) and most importatnt: it's really fast! just try it, it's only a few KB I think, and it's the perfect solution for me!

[Q] Location not correct in Gallery app

Hi,
I've got an issue: the location (street name) is not showing correctly in the Gallery app. GPS coordinates are correct because if I open the same picture in Quick pic then I get the correct address (even up to house number when I'm at home).
In Gallery app, there's an offset of a few hundred meters. I'm having this issue on several Rom versions already (GoldenEye, now on latest version).
There's definitely nothing wrong with GPS, only the app is acting weird.
Any solution for this? Don't tell me clear data, because I tried that.
I've found this for S5 but there's no solution.
Sorry if it's not a solution, but it's possible it's a bug in Sammy's Gallery app. Why can't you just use Quickpic?
Yes, I can use Quickpic but I like the features of Gallery. Strange that almost no one reports this issue? Am I unlucky to be one of few people who suffer from this? Or does everybody use Quick pic?
