My Galaxy Limited Edition from I/O has developed a nasty display problem. I'm pretty sure this is a hardware defect and it needs to go to Samsung for support, but I thought I'd check here first to see if anybody else has run into this issue. For about 2 weeks now the display becomes for lack of a better term 'fuzzy'. The phenomenon gets worse from left to right. It's almost like the pixels are moving on the screen making everything fuzzy. Sometimes it gets so bad that any text can't be read anynore on the right side of the screen. I have attached some screen shots.
I have played with all the brightness controls etc, turned auto control on and of, rebooted a thousand times, let the battery run empty, used it on a full charge all make no difference whatsoever. The wierd thing is that this problem is intermittened. Some day I pick it up and the display will be fine for a few minutes then it's hosed again
Does anyone know what the process is to send these IO tablets to Samsung? Am I going to get the same one back or will they send me a refurb production unit? I'd like to keep mine since it has the cool back, but it's pretty useless in it's current condition. Is there a special contact for IO tablet support?
I should mention that the device is bone stock. No custom rom, not rooted etc. It is running 3.1, I haven't upgraded to the latest official 3.2 yet cause I actually like Pulse.
Thanks,
-Marc
Anybody? Am I the only one who's tablet has suffered this fate?
Definitely looks like hardware fault, graphics chipset, a loose cable, screen matrix, take your pick fact that it is intermittent and works after start then goes awry points to heating fault
Have two IO tabs myself since day one and know that during the initial rush of everybody playing, programming, wiping, semi-bricking etc the response of Samsung is that you must be in USA for guarantee cover to operate... however, that was before other service centres had any access to tab files and firmware.... best you can do is ring sammy and ask if they can repair and whether or not you can retain the le back panel... true it is cool and limited edition
What did you end up doing?
I have the excatct same problem.
I just returned my i/o cause the screen was lifting up. They actually said the back was faulty too and replaced it... With another io back. They were real willing to fix it for me and im sure thry will do the same for u. They do have a special number for these tabs vs tbe retail ones but if u call the normal number u will just get forwarded to the right people once u tell them which tab u have. I def got the same tab back they did not give me a refurb or a retail!

i also had the same problem . waiting for the solution yet.
1) Get rid of the Samsung apps like the AP widget, the photo widget, the AccuWeather widget
2) Set your task killer to kill those gd apps any time they start
3) Change your wall paper to something lower res.
Been working perfectly ever since.....

WTF? Have you read the other posts???
Had the very same problem OP had with their IO tablet as well. What I ended up doing was calling down to Samsung and talking to one of the reps there who was kind enough to warranty the tab.
1-800-726-7864
Navigate the options and you'll end up talking to someone. I think the magic words to use are "Google IO" and "display problems".
I also started getting bleeding colors on my tab. I can't have the tablet repaired here so I had no choice but to see what I could do on my own. It turned out to be the flex cable between the lcd screen and the motherboard. The sad thing is that the cable is attached to the screen, so I need a new lcd screen for my tab.
Unfortunately it's just as difficult to obtain an lcd for our P7100, they either don't have it or it's out of stock.
If anyone has info on parts compatibility between 10.1" tablets or knows of some place that sells the lcd screen for our "v", please let me know.
In the meantime I got a P7500 from my operator on contract but I like P7100 more and would like to have it working again.
Went to play with an N3 today, noticed that the handwritng option in keyboard let me write, but no text. There also were no "handwriting" avail in the settings, just the detection. This was systemwide.
I also noticed S-note no longer has the direct handwriting-to-text option. I mean it never really worked well because of paragraph spacing etc., but was nice to label charts anddiagrams with.
But the reapperance of the handwriting -to-text lasso from the old S-Memo is better than ever! Though the OCR search was pretty damn good so may just leave notes like that!
Screen still a bit to small to take real notes, but I know when I replace old 10.1 with 2014 version( hopefully 12.2! Or ATIV Q) it will be a much better experience. Just hope Samsung brings features to N8.0, as it is my other "portable"(fits in slacks, jean back pocet or suit pocket). I domt see why tey wouldnt, help sell more N8s! Though see some delay to push people up to higher margin N10.1 or down to even higer margin N3, though N8 does not really over lap tose universes.
So can anyone comment on this issue I experienced?
P.S. I hada store wth N3 on Friday!, but ATT messed with my early upgrade, so can only do with retention. Was gonna add a line then return when got upgrade, but hate reconfiguring phones...though now I will be playing with it at work. May switch to TMo as I couldnt preorder thru retention, so will get order place with 7am callback...surprised wontbe in stores till the 3rd, tmo 2nd so lets see! (Did get 120$ off mh bill for mh "troubles")
change your device date to a previous date and it seems to fix the issue.

its a bug and i believe samsung will fix it soon
Been fixed today via a OTA update from the play store, fixed the keyboard, but as strange as it sounds my wifi and mobile signal has improved, could they have slipped some extra code in?

Yup. Mine got fixed by the OTA too. I have to agree on the wifi signal. Not sure about the mobile signal though.. :laugh:
I find the new handwriting to text software on the Note 3 is too slow in terms of recognition time. I much prefer the Note 2 interface, in which it was also possible to change ink colour and pen thickness etc. Or am I missing some settings somewhere?

At the recent google IO, a fun little project was launched.
https://developers.google.com/cardboard/
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.samples.apps.cardboarddemo
It's called cardboard, and it's google take on smartphone / VR helmet. I was really curious to try it on my Note 2, specially since I already had a helmet. (Made it when I was bored some time ago.)
Saddly, it seems the app won't work on a galaxy note 2. It should, but it doesn't.
So I wondered, does anyone else tried the app ? Did you manage to make it work on note 2 ?
Hi there! Same thing happens with me and not only with that app, with Google camera as well.
I'm running stock kitkat from samsung.
Could this problem be from Google apps?
It appears our devices don't support the "GL_EXT_robustness extension"
I encountered the same issue with WebGL not being supported in Chrome. It appears this is why.
i tried it in a stock i9300 and i9500 and both crash .

Does this mean the app will never work the GN2?

Thanks for the answer. Already clearer.
Would switching to a non-samsung rom help support it ? ( I guess not, even non-samsung rom probably use samsung drivers.)
Did anyone tryed to use the VR Toolkit provided by google?
I would like to know if apps build with this crash on the note 2.
I have a note 2 on the sprint network(sph-l900 running 4.4.2)
and the app works on mine
as for the cardboard case it seems the note 2s size may cause problems(i will be adding 1/4 inch to the front cover)
the note 2s camara is blocked(i will cut my own hole to compensate for phone difference)

Well, the app was just updated. Like 5 minutes ago on my phone. And now it works. On my note 2, only the "windy day" demo crash.
More info I found though on the subject though :
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=288731
"The problem is that the EXT_robustness implementation on the Mali-400 does not support reset notification. However, Chrome doesn't use virtual GL contexts on these GPUs, so in theory the effects of WebGL shaders could be confined to the respective WebGL GL context.
I did some further testing (https://codereview.chromium.org/24037006/) and turns out it's still possible for long running shaders in the WebGL contexts to block GL execution in other contexts -- not limited ones in Chrome. Based on this I don't think we want to enable WebGL on Mali-400 based devices.
Note that users can still override this by disabling the "Software rendering list" in about://flags."

Even though I figured it wouldn't be the correct dimensions I went ahead and made the case per the instructions and the biggest issue is the focal point. Everything else including the magnet placement works. I'm going to pull the pdf into photoshop and increase all of the dimensions so it will actually be able to encase the Note 2.

I finished it a couple of days ago and just got around to printing it and cutting it out of cardboard. It needs a little tweaking, but otherwise works pretty good. I need to scale it down just a bit since the one I made accounts for my phone being in my otterbox case. I'm almost done with that one though so I should have it complete in a day or two.
I've included a picture of my completed in-case version looks like. I still need to make one change I know of to this case. When increasing the dimensions I guess I missed making the back panel bigger so it doesn't actually close all the way now. I'll upload that one when I'm done too.
Hey SPIDERTECH,
nice to hear you got a note2-version of the cardboard. Can you share the Photoshop-file?
Best regards!
Drongo
Please share the template for Note 2

I would have had this done sooner, but I wanted to print everything out and get it assembled before making the PDFs. I've attached a ZIP with 3 pdf files to print each individually and assemble like the original. I've also included a transparent PNG and a TIFF that is the entire thing for large printing.
I need to rework the version with the otterbox since after printing and assembling it I discovered that I had missed resizing certain parts. I should have that one done soon though.

I have sent you $10.00 Spidertech for the files you just posted...when you get the one for the Note 2 with Otterbox done, I will send you more for it as well. I appreciate you sharing this, and since I am also having trouble getting my Note 2 SGH-i317 upgraded to Kitkat 4.4.2 from 4.3, I will gladly pay you if you can offer advice to me on what to do via email.
Looking forward to the Note 2 with Otterbox case files.
Thank you!

I got this template from a friend (source unknown)
I made one using tgis template and works perfect.
Its not the best looking cardboard, but fits perfectly and works great.
Also i tried downloading some SIDE BY SIDE 3d videos from YouTube and played using MxPlayer ( have to set it to 80% zoom for 720p videos to get perfect display)

Some other nice apps for use with the cardboard case can be found here http://www.divegames.com/games.html. I actually use the two I've listed below.
ViewR - uses your camera in SBS format so you can strap this to your head and view the camera feed. It has voice activated triggers that are used to change the "filter" on the screen which is actually pretty fun to play around with.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=biz.buelter.viewr
Side-By-Side Video Player - Lets you play any videos from your phone in SBS mode. The only issue I've found with it on the Note 2 is that the videos cannot be played from the gallery. If you play them from a file viewer like Astro then they work fine.

I have tried both apps. Due to loss of edge data i don't really see a point watch videos in it. Unless the videos are made to compensate the loss (round cornered videos)

Mine apparently shipped from the warehouse on the 14th, and the Post Office dealt with it on the 17th (I only know this after badgering them on LIVE CHAT) but my tracking number is still not working. Apparently it can take a week after the Post Office have dealt with it for the tracking number to start working!

Yes I got it yesterday. And i am so disappointed. Disappointed because there is NO heart rate monitor at all! This option was the main reason why i decided to take it. Bluetooth connection between watch and sgn2 is dropping after few minutes. Both software - on watch and on phone is piece of s...! Only 2 watch faces: analog and digital.
This morning battery is already empty.
Screen looks good enough. Responsive touch. Clock i see is acurate. If it is true - it is sinchronysing with phone. There is simple control of media player: play stop forward backward and volume. It plays music directly on the watch. Sound is... listening at night when you are sleeping is more or less enough. There is no option to play music on phone.
I did not find how to control camera i couldn't take any picture. It looks like they payed attention to design of the watch - it looks good but else is left.

No I didn't say like that. It is more or less worth that money. I just bought not that one I wanted. I have read as much as i could find on internet about that watch. And a lot of places i have found info that this watch have heart rate monitor but in reality NOT. I cant figure it out how it happened. On the seller listing there were pictures showing like it is but not mentioned in the specification. So i can blame only myself for not clearing this question before bidding.
Later on i will post a few pics if you want.
And sorry for my English. I am doing my best.
Tell me please if you can see those pictures here:

That should be useful for me. Thanks!

I found myself started enjoying this smartwatch after these few days using. It is a lot of difficulties to set up this guy but now i believe it cad do his job. Just sad there is no heart rate monitor on it. Let see how it goes further ...

thaNKS FOR YOUR INPUT. I can see the photos dont delete them cuz I also want to buy this watch.
how does it wear, comfortably or not?
and does it have a camera on the top of the watch, or what is that supposed to be?

It wears comfortably enough. And it is not so big like it looks. Silicon band is somewhere in the middle - not so hard and not so elastic. I have no problems with band. I have ordered gold color but I don't know... it looks for me like bronze, not polished or shiny.
Camera - NO there is NO camera on the board. That small window on the top of the watch is that what have tricked me. I was thinking that there is heart rate monitor but its not. There is NO nothing at all. I disassembled this watch and I am pretty sure.
One more thing. Yesterday I decided to try with another ROM on my SGN2. Installed "Android Revolution HD 31.0". Now I can tell that connection between SGN2 and this watch is much better than it was with Slim Colorz. During this day there were no interruption with watch.
a question , why is that i see tons of vr gear in for sale , some even didnt open the box , hmmm whats happening ?
Don't know why,purchase recently a new one from eBay 2016 model.so far no issues. It cost me $62.The reason should be note7 fiasco.
I got one for $32 brand new. 2016 version. Its an all out war in the mobile vr world. Samsung and Oculus want to win badly, which is why they have given so many of them away and dropped the price 75%. in many markets around the world.
ok quite interested to get the 2016 ones , no issue with it ?

I don't know if the Gear VR works with 3rd party apps. As soon as you insert your Samsung phone into the Gear VR, Oculus Home starts.
I didn't even try to make it work with 3rd party apps.

You can watch those horizontally split videos in gear vr too. Just use Samsung VR app, play the video. Check out the options to the right side of play/pause button. You'll be amazed by what it can do.

My S7 Edge overheats after 10 or 15 minutes every time I use it with the VR I got for free after buying the phone.
