touch screen calibration off? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

It seems to be off at the top and bottom of the screen. It will click on things above my finger at the top of the screen, but below my finger at the bottom. Always closer to the edge. In the middle is perfect.
Any one else notice this? Should I exchange it?

Aiming for the middle of the boxes.

Same here. While I do have a dead pixel toward towards the bottom, my main reason for wanting to exchange it is how the touch is off on the top and bottom.

I wonder if its a widespread problem, or isolated. I'd hate to unroot and return it to end up with the same thing.

Same feelings here. There's not really a definitive guide how to prep this phone for a warranty return. Not sure what that all entails, aside from the obvious.

I know this is a slightly older thread but I have an update since last.
Returned my phone today 'primarily' because of a dead pixel.
But the screen digitizer is no longer off near the top and bottom. So much better! No more accident double spaces causing a period or accidently turning on caps.
Didn't think it was that annoying until it's gone and I don't have to deal with it anymore.

I decided to keep my phone, and not exchange it. It's not off enough to justify it, and everything else on the phone works perfectly, so I'm just gonna live with it.

ill return mine... just sick of it

And this screen calibration setting would be located...? I've looked over and over and never seen any option in various roms to calibrate the screen.

Settings/display horizontal and gyro settings fixed one of my friends. It was off but isn't anymore. Though it has nothing to do with the touch but it fixed it...

Touchscreen
Not sure if I'm experiencing the same problem. I dropped a post on another thread but this seems to be more like it..
My example (I'm not as techie I guess) would be:
Tap on engadget app - No problems
Tap on a story - No problems
Tap on the comments - Have to do this repeatedly till it comes up
This isn't the only app or problem obviously but that's the one I notice the most.
I am on the verge of returning it considering it's a 200.00 phone.. I shouldnt have to tap something 4 times to get the item to respond. It's really frustrating. I am rooted, stock only. No custom rom. Thought it could be because I am rooted, running Go EX Launcher, Live wallpaper, etc but even using the stock launcher w no live wallpaper and eliminating some other things it doesnt make a difference. I did try the screen/gyro cal and it made no difference. Please let me know if you guys are having the same issue.. My return period is rapidly coming up..

Weird screen borders?

Hey I've had this "problem" with my both Atrix's. Do you also have it?

I'm not really able to tell from the picture. What weird border are you guys talking about?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
You can see a faint border maybe 3/16" wide around the edge of the screen in the picture. I haven't seen this before on my phone.
No, I don't see it on mine...
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Its extremely apparent with dark backgrounds. I can't seem to recall if I had ever seen it before, it's really one of those things that you don't notice at first but once you do see it you can't look past it (if that makes sense).
Could it be an app that doesn't support qHD screens?

If you guys don't notice it, that's great it doesn't bother you. For me it is particularly apparent only in extreme cases (i use 'screen filter' 25% brightness, and dark backgrounds). However, I am convinced this is on all of our phones (ie: is a characteristic of our display), but is not a defect.

are you using 'screen filter' because the screen is too bright? if so it's a terrible solution to that. use adj brightness instead and set the brightness to 2.
I figured I would post here, since I am having a weird screen border issue as well, but mine is different (I didn't want to clutter with a new thread).
On certain apps there is a border of about 1cm on the left/right/ and bottom of the display. It is only on certain apps (MixZing, Modern Combat, Tetris to name a few). Also, all of the apps in question work fine with no border on MY atrix, it is my brothers that is having the issues. He is on the new Bell update.

It was suggested I try changing the LCD density, but I couldn't get that to help.
The homescreen is fine, and full screen, as is browser, and most apps. Just a few that won't work full screen. Any ideas? Factory reset needed? Any ideas are appreciated,
Thanks in advance

Netlix and button lights not going off

Hi all, just got the Note the yesterday and while playing around with it noticed that on Netflix viewing the button lights don't go off, ever.
Tried doing a search in this forum and didn't come up with anything but maybe someone knows what's going on?

I believe that's normal. Mine stays in also. I had a dell streak and it did the same thing.

1) Wow, those buttons seem really bright on the white Notes
2) Based on my past Samsung devices, altering the capacitive buttons behavior must be baked into the Kernel. So it will take some custom development to get Back Light Dimmer functionality exposed.
yeah the buttons are overly bright on the white version. seems like a bit of the screen backlight shows through. very annoying when watching in the dark, not so noticeable during the day or in a lighted room.
might have to break out so black tape when in the dark if this is how it's always going to be

I think it has something to do with the "keep screen on" setting in these applications.
Tape? Yikes, not me! I cover them with my thumb. Get deep enough into a movie and they don't bother you so much
I just turn them off all together. I know what button does what.

Is it just me or does eye tracker not work well?

Ok so one of the cool features I was excited about was the eyetracker feature. But I've haven't noticed it once work for me. They icon will flash on the status bar but it will still keep going black. doesn't matter how close the phone is or what kind of lighting is in the background. Anyone else?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Was the front facing camera directly facing you when the icon appears? It needs to be looking right at your face and not angled slightly in any direction.
Doesn't seem to work at all for me. I dont believe it's because I wear contacts...

Works fine for me as long as i'm directly looking at the screen.

You say that, however the advertising in the UK shows a guy reading to his daughter from the phone in the dark, when his eyes close it shuts off the phone and states the phone only sleeps when you do.
I would call that false advertising if it in fact doesn't work in low or no light...

Tested properly today, multiple times, on my way through London whilst my girl drove. Bright sunny day, and it failed everytime. I tried opening my eyes WIDE, moving the phone nearer, farther... nothing.
It works randomly for me, in dark or light conditions.
This needs an update, period.
My one fails every timr. It just dosnt work even very bright days. Shame on you samsung.

Dont like hearing this at all, this was the feature I was looking to the most i think.
It works fine for me. Not 100% of the time but at least 80%. Most of the time I don't even notice the icon flashing because it's so quick.

did you try to put your phone around 20 - 30cm as mentioned in smartstay function? reading with the phone to close to our face also prevents it to capture whole face and follow our eyes movement.
surprised you're all complaining about this. It works almost everytime for me, even if im looking at the screen from a slight skew
I too have been disappointed in this feature. Doesn't seem to work at all.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Does not work for me either.
I know most people already know this, but smart stay has to be turned on in settings-display. May be just double check if it's on?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Did any of you try it in landscape mode? when i'm reading pdfs in landscape, most of the times smart stay fails.
I find this very weird to hear everyone having so much trouble with this, me and my friend have not had one drama and it's been awesome. All i did was juts make sure it was turned on in the motion settings and it works a treat!
It doesn't work on me as well
I've tested and seems to work about 70pc of time. It has definitely failed too..... But the little eye icon has shown too and it has kept the screen on.... I'd say failures have been a mix of bad/odd angle held and lighting...

Input Lag

Hi people, I have an EVO 3D and it has input lag. If I slide my finger at a certain speed, things won't keep up. Similar to the issue the original EVO had. Could this be a hardware or software problem? I'm rooted and running CM9 but the problem exists with like every rom I've tried. Is there anyone else with a 3D experiencing this?

Dont think that this is the solution to the problem i mean its an htc evo 3d this phone should ****ing recognize what you want it to do otherwise you shouldnt have had to spend that amount of money
its simple rediculous if it wouldnt work
Thanks for the replies. I'm not having an issue with keyboard input though. It's when sliding your finger, like when pulling the notification bar down. It doesn't keep up with my finger unless I move my finger slowly. This is like my 4th android and I may have never had an issue like this with the previous phones. I noticed after getting this phone and having more time with it. Still usable, can be kinda aggravating though I guess.

so if we cant exclude this possibiliy we cant go on troubleshooting so please check it out

Mega 6.3 Build Quality

Finally got my Mega and it's actually smaller that expected. The build quality is okay but there's a small ripple on the screen when you press too hard on it. I think its caused by the LCD and the glass when put under pressure. Anyone have this? It only appears when pressed hard and it's only one small point on the screen so I can live with it. I'm also afraid I'll get a worse one if I have it replaced.
Yep standard LCD then again no need to press to hard hey

So you have the same issue? I just called Samsung to have it repaired, they said it only takes 5 days. I'm a bit OCD so it will bug me to no end. If more people have this then I might just live with it.

It only appears on the same spot when pressed hard, I actually had a hard time taking that pic because it disappears after the tap.
I'm not sure if this is a real flaw or defect. Most LCD screens behave this way if you press really hard. However, pressing normally hard on the 3 GT-I9205 devices here, I can't reproduce the effect.

Maybe when I get it back the Xtralite ROM will be out I'm gonna use the phone all weekend and see on Monday if it gets better or worse. The warranty is 2 years anyway so I can have it repaired at another time if I get used to it. It doesn't appear on regular taps, just hard taps.
I have 4 spots on my screen that look like that when you press slightly hard on the screen. Same as what gx3k posted.
You can still see them as they stay brighter than the rest of the screen on white backgrounds. It's beginning to bother me because they are so visible on white backgrounds. I think I may have created these spots when I was installing the screen protector.
When you press too hard on the screen it sort of damages it and causes these areas.
