Alright my sister got a sgs2 about 2 months ago, now I went to help her with something (because I have an sgs2 too and she's bloody unless with it), I noticed a scratch on the screen, its only small and isn't very deep but it annoys me the fact that she bought this phone and now she's bloody scratched it! Will she be able to get the screen fixed or replaced or something for free? It isn't bothering her son doubt she'll pay. Cheers.

Can you see the scratch when using the phone or just when you literally search it?
If you have to search it, then I have good news for you.
I have the same and fixed it with a screen-protector. You won't be able to see the scratch anymore.

I noticed it straight away, my sister struggles to find it even though she knows where it is.

If it's just a hairline then buy a decent screen protector and it won't show. Worked for me.

Hey guys, few days ago i noticed something odd about the touch screen..
The bottom - left corner of the screen is "out" so i can feel it with my finger (and if you look on the side of the phone you can see that the corner comes out a bit) and the right side of the screen goes goes in, like its crooked.
how can i correct this ?
Take it back to the shop.

I need through drive 2 cities for that plus i am running the Austrailian ftf while i live in Israel...anyway to do it by myself ?
It sounds like a manufacturer defect, so it needs to go back, its easy enough to revert to original firmware.
Diy would most likely involve opening up the phone which will void your warranty.

ok, thanks.
Any chance you know where to get Israeli .ftf for gb or ics ? or any other way to revert back ?
p.s. its less then 1mm, are you sure that they will do smt and not say that its not a defect ? ?
Screen turns off when placing phone to ear as expected however does not come back on when pulled away. Only after the 2nd party disconnects will the screen come back on after pressing power button and the only to the lock screen. This is a new issue. Anyone else having this problem or know of a solution?

Maybe faulty proximity sensor. I had that issue in my galaxy nexus. Ended up getting a new one

Call insurance. Get a new one or refurb for that matter.

Are you stock? Rooted? I ran into this issue a few times with persus kernel.
I'm having the same issue. Anyone find a fix for this?
Just got off the phone with Verizon. They're sending a replacement. Something wrong with proximity sensor. Actually appears to be a speck behind glass over sensor.

I have also been having a bit of trouble with the same thing. On top of the screen not always coming on when I move the phone away from my ear during a phone call, sometimes when I pull up the keypad while on the phone and attempt to press a key, the screen will turn off. I think it's because the shadow of my hand makes it think it's back up to my ear. I see two little sensors next to the camera; one of them appears to have a little speck or dot on it. Maybe a piece of dirt in it? Can somebody who doesn't have this problem check and see if they see a very very tiny dot on the sensor closest to the in call speaker?
I've been having the same issue with my Note 2, I was wondering if this could be a software issue since I have messed with a few roms but decided to go back to stock. I've been looking everywhere for a solution, even went as far trying to find replacement files to see if that would fix it, but to no avail. I guess I'll have to replace the device.

Have you received your replacement?
If you have, did they send you a certified like-new or a brand new replacement?
Thank you

I have found a fix for this, at least for me, as I mentioned in an earlier post I had flashed a few ROMs, decided to search the other carriers galaxy note 2 forums and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070360&highlight=proximity+sensor
Luckily there is a Perseus kernel for verizon too here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048013
Will do this later and report.
Edit: the perseus kernel by itself didn't do the trick but beanstown's stock root/deodex and jelly 'beans' roms did! I now have everything working like new with cleanrom installed

there's a fix in the general section that addresses this issue. Apparently it's a hardware issue where the tabs in your phone don't seem to make the connection to the antenna. the fix points out which connectors to adjust but requires you opening your phone. I've been experiencing this issue as well. I find massaging the top back right (when looking at the phone) seems to help but it's only a temp fix. I'm debating if I want to send the phone in for an RMA for that and a weird sim issue I've been experiencing.

Opening it isn't that difficult. Just follow the instructions and be gentle on the prongs when you pull them up.

Just go to the drug store and get an eyeglasses repair kit. The screwdrivers in those are generally small enough and the whole kit costs less than $2.00 US.

I bought a husky multi tip "jewlers" screwdriver from Home Depot, best $10 I spent. Got the philips/standard one and the torques one. I use those to tear everything down. I say invest a little and keep em for years. But that's just me, I tear lots of things apart. If you want I can get you the husky product numbers off them.

2 sec GPS lock and no more sim issues plus 3 month warranty extended onto my phone. I'm fairly content, couldn't get anyone to give me any sorts of discounts on a Note 2 but I still love this phone.
Had this same problem - flashed a GB radio - everything is now working perfectly.
Just an FYI.

Try this!
Pried the tabs up and everything back in working order
Is there a mod allowing (with a button combination) to disable completely the touchscreen while leaving the screen on?
When I show a picture around, if anybody grabs my phone, 99% of the times they end up touching the screen (especially if they are not familiar with the SGS3 thin borders) messing up the display.

Hello everyone
I didn't have screen guard installed but only the protective covering. Now it is scratched a lot and I wanna change it. Can I simply remove it and then install a new screen guard? And do non-stickey screen guards come for our phone? Even with least amount of sweat, screen gets sticky and its impossible to move finger over it. Any suggestions?
By non sticky I meant kinda ones we have on s3 and iphones
Yeah, You can simply remove it. Xperia x10 has something like plastic screen, so it will always be sticky and will stop responding with water on it

It becomes very annoying if you are playing game without ac in summers when screen starts sticking. I am a hardcore gamer and whenever ibsit for gaming, 2 hours easily pass
Buy iGloves
Nah, I'm just joking, You can't do anything. Maybe there's some special screen protection without this effect but I don't know. If Google doesn't help You then nothing can
