Top right touchscreen problem - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have this problem on the top right touchscreen . It works but in some apps it works like for example in the xda app I press the participated tab and it would press more.or like in the browser if I press the menu and press the new tab it wont respond. The only way to fix this is to move it vertical

i am having a similar issue with a section of the screen that runs along the entire width about the width and is the section where the browser address bar is in landscape, i just got a repair ticket made with samsung support, so i'm going to mail it in and see what happens.
i have to use my tab upside down for now to be able to input addresses into the browser.

Touch dead spot.

Hey guys, it seems my x10 has a dead spot in its touchscreen. It just doesn't recognize when touched in the right top corner. It is actually exactly between the middle and the extreme right of the phone. When playing chess for example, there is a piece I can't select, tried everything without success. Is this happening only to me or not?
No it is happening to me too. Right where the magnifying glass is on the market app. Top right hand corner...

Same here, I tougth that's just mine...dead on search button in market.
No, the search in the market is fine for me, it is exactly another square by its left, and even after pressing hard or for long tries I get it to work, it just doesn'r respond.
I'm having the same problem,exactly on market search button.Started happening after 2.1 update....
ON lyk screen press
menu back back menu back menu menu back
if u using 2.1 den press home button inplace of menu
chek in service tests/touch screen
spot by yewrself whea ur self phone has dead touchh
Yes, I know this test, but it doesn't do it justice, it draws in the spot when you touch right before the dead part to just after it
when in market, i have to press search at least twice for it to function
I'm having a similar problem.
The top row of QWERTYUIOP doesn't work on the default android keyboard, but it works absolutely fine if I select Korean!
On the home screen the section is also dead & I can't use apps that occupy that space, so I have to go down to the drawer and select it from there. But if I want to use that spot to scroll between my homescreens, I can drag perfectly fine, or drag shortcuts there perfectly fine. On the keyboard if I drag I can highlight the nonworking keys, but I can't use them.
It is especially irritating on dialog boxes though.
I went into PC companion & I did a repair install of 2.1 (AT&T grr) and it didn't fix anything, just now I'm inconvenienced in that now I need to restore all my apps.

I've sent mine to the warranty, and they gave me a new one working. The new x10 had a dead pixel, then I sent it to the warranty again, but after a year (on the last warranty day), so they would not have any x10s left, and it worked, they gave me an Arc

Wave Launcher / Anyone Using It Or?..

Could someone please download the app from the market, setup and let me know if you any text freezing while typing, scrolling issues while on the Internet or XDA App? It was messing with my phone but would like to know if others have issues too. (BTW... I really like the App)

Wave Launcher is fully customizable. You can change the size, location and even thickness of the gesture-area. To change it, look for "Gesture-area presets" in the Settings screen.
The setting the works for most people and is my personal favorite is "Bottom Left - 20%". It will never interfere with the keyboard or scrolling this way.
Note that you can also have Wave Launcher automatically disable in Landscape mode which is often used for typing, games, etc.
The app is very powerful and highly customizable, please go through all the settings to make sure you make the most out of it.
Any reports guy's?

Used it and it interefered with a lot of things going on on the bottom of the phone such as opening the app drawer and typing. Just my experience others may vary.

As Mike said above.
I also tried it for a bit, and even changed the popup swipe location but it is just OK. I think bottom corner 20% was the one that worked best for me, but even then I would accidentally press the Home button. Sides are for screen sliding already, and top is for notifications, so there is not much free room to swipe around. Its a fine launcher, but I did not find it useful enough to keep.
I thought it would let me make a gesture to swipe it onto the screen, not follow my finger around everywhere, to where I cant even get rid of it without the awkward swipe back into the same corner of the screen.
What it should have is a setting on how far to follow you across the screen, so if I swipe up from bottom corner, it appears, then it follows me around but only until I get to say 50% of the screen height, then it goes away.
That way, if it appears accidentally, I dont have to swipe is back down, but simply continue the swipe up motion until it dissapears.
I tried it but didn't care for it. Holding the Home screen button essentially does the same thing. Aloso, If you're running stock then you've got your most recent apps in the notification drop down. Unless you are constantly switching between apps, it's pretty pointless.
I use mine for a quickdial and store a few contacts there. so far it hasn't interfered too much
Thanks for your feedback guys!

[Q] Horizontal scrolling inside an e-mail

As I didn't find anything related, I wonder if anyone else have come across this, or if it's just my device.
When I open up an e-mail and scroll to the right, this is what happens:
First scroll seems fine, when I drag from right to left using the entire screen area.
On the second scroll, I put my finger on the right side of the screen, and when I start dragging to the left, the image jumps back 1/3 to the right, before moving to the left again.
This problem came right after I upgraded to 4.0.3 (stock I9100XXLPQ) and never happened on 2.3.6.
Tried both native email client and Enhanced Email from the marked. Same issue.
Seems to be related to e-mail clients only, as scrolling horizontally in the native browser and the gallery works just fine. Also dragging left/right in the Nova launcher is very smooth.
Anyone have an idea about what could be the cause to this problem?

Ok let me put this in a nice way. Samsung completely screwed up the scrolling in ICS. So to answer your question: Samsung is the cause of your problem...
Just flash your gingerbread or a good old cm9.
Have a good day :]

Annoying keyboard

Hi guys,
I'm on a non-rooted Galaxy s3 (I know, I know, I just don't want to void my warranty) and I'm having this annoying problem. Whenever I browse the Internet and try to type any text in a text field at the bottom of a page (mobile Facebook page for example), my keyboard appears right on top of the text field thus I can't see what I'm typing. Normally it would lift the text field just above the keyboard, but it doesn't. Is there an option for this?
Thanks

Nope, you can try another browser but it's how the page has been written.

How do you rearrange the bookmarks?
Press and hold. I believe.

I will try that again as did not work last time.
Edit: hold a bookmark and a popup menu comes up. Unless it scrolls to the move option I do not see how to do the arrangement.
Hold until it starts the rings around the bookmark and then drag dont let go.

I do not see that on holding on a bookmark. I see a Starburst on the side of the name almost coincident with the popup menu.
