It appears that the screen in the bottom left hand corner of the phone (by the settings button) on my phone is raised slightly higher than the rest of the phone. Where the rest of the screen is clearly below the height of the bezel, this corner appears to be flush. At the end of the day this isn't a big deal, but I would like for the screen to be even. Upon inspection of the phone, the speaker location is directly under this spot, so it makes me wonder if this is intended since there are more electronics in that spot.
I am gonna go by the store and check out a demo, but I would still like to know if anyone else has noticed this.
My phone is not like that. It's slightly recessed all the way around.
I put a screen proctor on it. It is hard to tell....
Mine is slightly recessed too. I am trying to get a picture of it, but it is hard to accurately show. From what I can tell, the screen becomes more recessed as it approaches the top of the screen. From side to side the screen should be at the same recess point. On my phone this is true for the whole phone except for at the bottom where the left side is raised a hair bit more than the right now. It honestly isn't a big deal, it was just one of those things that I noticed and will continue to bother me until I either exchange it or forget about it.
I've noticed that on my phone the distance between the screen and the bezel is not even all the way around the phone. It looks like in the top right and top left the screen is deeper than the bottom. At the same time the screen in the bottom left is higher than the rest of the phone. The screen doesn't appear to be loose, so I doubt this will ever be an issue, but I was wondering what exactly causes this. I've checked out a few phones from different stores this seems to vary between phone to phone. I have seen a few that are more or less even all the way around while I have seen others like mine. Between the ones I have seen with the varying distance, the bottom left corner seems to always be higher than the rest.
That's been reported on. Seems quality checks vary a bit. No one has posted any problems resulting from it. Most phone cases cover the difference.

I am not talking about the space between the bezel and the screen horizontally, I am talking vertically. The bottom left corner looks like the glue didn't stick properly causing it to become unstuck. If I press on the screen in that area there is a noticeable sound like when your fingers have something sticky on them and you put them together and take them apart. However, this sound might be created due to the fact that that corner is where the speaker is and the plastic is weaker because of the holes.

Haven't heard much about it making a noise when you press on it, but a number have posted about your issue. Seems it's always the bottom and either the right or left side being higher. No one has yet posted about both being higher, at least not yet.
Samsung screens are attached to the phone by an adhesive tape/pad. So it would be possible that some bad batches went out allowing the screen to lift. All Samsung phones come with a one year warranty. You'll be without a phone but you can send it in to get fixed if it bothers you enough or gets worse.
If you go to their website you can register your phone and they will extend the warranty a little bit. I think at least a month longer.

I've read in other forums that the Wacom Bamboo Feel (CS300UK) line of stylus's do not line up correctly, with the tip being offset by 1/8th of an inch or more, which is really maddening when you're trying to do some detailed art. In the Note 10.1 2014 forum there's a thread devoted to how many of these stylus's suck and are offset, including the CS300UK2, which people still aren't sure of if it's a new version or a different region product code of the same pen. Whichever it is, this is about the easy to get Best Buy and Amazon sold version, CS300UK.
Still, after reading all of that, I gave it a shot and it really was crap. Way offset! I was about to return it, when I decided to get out the X-acto blade and see what I could do.
I've attached a finished version of what my pen looks like now. Not the prettiest thing, but it lines up perfectly for me now and took WAY less time to do than it did for me to write all this out. haha
1- Pull out the nib that's currently in the pen.
2- Whittle down the tip of the pen until you start to see the first bit of innards in it. With my X-acto, it was really easy to cut, not a hard plastic at all.
In the image attached, you can see a small black circle inside the cut grey part. That is where I've decided to stop. Not sure what it does but looks like it shouldn't be sliced up...
3- Trim the nib. I've labeled in the image the bit of nib that I trimmed. This was photographed on the top of the back of the Bamboo nib box so you can see the size, but it is a small amount, like 1/8 of an inch or so. With your basic nail clippers, I clipped it from the "bottom" of the nib, which is slightly less round than the top, but I doubt it matters which you clip.
So yeah, slip the nib back in the pen and you're done. It should be lined up.
The two photos on the right of the attached image show what it looks like held from the left and right at a pretty decent angle, my "natural" drawing angle. Basically spot on. Tested in a bunch of places around the tablet and it all matches up.
Good luck to anyone who tries this! Also, don't blame me if you screw up your pen.
Now, if only Wacom could put out a pen that is this little bit shorter for these newer Note's...

People are still experiencing an offset with that, as well. I browsed all through the 10.1 2014 thread about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484014
Specifically http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47180938&postcount=46 from a quick search in that thread.
As they're both Samsung products put out at about the same time, I am using the assumption that they will have similar tech when it comes to the digitizer and how it reacts to the Feel pens. The Note 3 will probably have that, too. Older digitizers might not do so good, though. haha
Here's a link where I screencapped someone's test video: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50693780&postcount=179
At least from the angle, there seems to be an offset from the UK2. He's on the line with the pen, but the drawn line is under that line.
I have the V2 and have no offset issues. From a screen shot taken from a side angle, yes there appears to be an offset, but the big question is "is there an offset from the eye position of the writer" not is there an offset for someone watching from the side. It's like looking at a speedometer from the driver's seat vs. the passenger seat. You will not get the same reading as you will from the other position.

Some say they like it and others are still saying their V2's are off, but if you do have one that works properly and you're happy with it, that's all that matters.
Does the back of this pen work as an eraser?
I was finally able to test the wacom pen with eraser that came with my Toshiba laptop. No surprise, it has the same 2-3 mm offset when the pen is held at an angle. Too bad because it's nice to have the easy eraser which does work as expected. I'll probably end up ordering the big s-pen now...
Also, I did try adjusting the calibration screws under the button to no avail...

I have this pen from a previous note and it does work well with no offset. The eraser works as well. It was only $29 the last time I bought it and now I see it listed alot more. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Sam...0862790937?pt=US_Styluses&hash=item35c07ea119

WOW worked like a charm thanks for posting!! Just be careful how short you cut the nib I found I cut it too short and had to gradually adjust the length on the spare.
Thanks
No offset issues on mine...
But then I did manually adjust the potentiometers in the pen, as one should do with every Wacom pen by default...........

Any chance you can share how to adjust the Bamboo? Wacom support told me it's a Samsung issue and very sporadic. I would appreciate the help so I don't have to return it.

There's two ways to go about this. The 'Viking equivalent of try this first' and the 'If that doesn't work, let's try the more technical one.'
Firstly, try giving it a good solid whack on the edge of a table. As ridiculous as that sounds (and makes you look), this does usually have an effect. Often, the nib isn't properly inserted, or sits at just the wrong angle. Brute force tends to work.
If that doesn't help, it's time for the proper technical solution. This works on pretty much any magnetic stylus with a button, including the Spen.
Requirements:
- A small flat screwdriver
- A non-cluttered room (preferably without carpets)
- The pen
- The tablet
Step 1) Carefully use the small screwdriver to pop off the button. You should be able to insert it along the side in the middle and then slide it towards the back end (where the fastener isunder the button).
The thing jumps, so be careful! (Hence the clean, carpet free room. I had to use a vacuum cleaner to recover mine once..) If the screwdriver doesn't work, try a needle or a razor (mind your fingers!).
Step 2) With the lid off, you'll see two dials.
The one closest to the tip of the pen adjusts the sensitivity.
The one closest to the cap adjusts the offset. This is the one we'll need to fix this issue. (Might as well tweak both whilst you're at it)
Carefully make tiny adjustments (and I mean really tiny) to these dials. Test it on the tab every time, you don't need to re-attach the button to test it. They go both ways, so play with it 'till you're satisfied with the result. (On my previous one I had to turn it a whole 85º, on my new one only 5º.)
Step 3) If you're happy with the result, click the button back on. It only fits one way, and needs to be inserted very much like a battery: one side first. (The side pointing towards the cap)
That's it
ShadowLea THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!

That was very helpful, but still took a bit of fidgeting to get it off. For anyone trying it at home, here is a picture of the guts. The two tabs on the left click into rectangular hole.
My problem was that I tried to slide a blade along the edge and the cross piece would not let that happen. Perhaps the best way is to pry at the left 1/3 of the length and let the middle bulge up.
This has been bugging me since the leaks started, are both bezels identical in size or is the top ever so slightly thicker than the top? can someone measure for me or look, I'd love to finally stop having to digitally measure on my screen from press pictures or stare at the bezels to see if they are identical in size.

Lol!
The top is slightly bigger.
I actually like it because it means the viewable screen isn't QUITE so off centre with the front face of the phone when showing the software buttons as it would be if the bezels were identical. Probably not why they did it but nevermind...

Hmm, I'd rather it was the bottom, actually. Then when used as a point and shoot you could do it one handed without your hands pressing everything. Or is the bottom wide enough to do that anyway? It's always so hard to tell from review pictures, no-one has a standard hand!
hi guys,,,
if NO iris scanner so, what is the sensor which located under the speaker griller directly??
Proximity sensor or are you referring to the camera. Lol
No No,,
I mean the sensor under directly the speaker grill NOT beside it... look at phone again
Hmmm don't see any other sensors under the front speaker and went through quite a few pics. Maybe some of the guys with devices from WMC could give more information.
I see no sensor under the front speaker. I see the camera and proximity sensor to the left and the led to the right. That's it.
http://www.zdnet.com/article/leak-shows-lg-g5s-major-design-changes-dual-cameras-ahead-of-event/
Zoom in the picture and see !!
I hope this support my words...zoom to the end
Relax dude, the picture you provided doesn't even show this supposed sensor you're yelling about.
Plz zoom and put your glass on your eyes before
What about you at this?
I think that's an old render. I don't see that sensor on the actual G5. Probably an old placement of the led. It's now located to the right of the speaker.
But this is a leak and not the version that was presented in Barcelona. So whoever posted those pics could've done anything to them. Look at the other pics and reviews around the net and such sensor is not present elsewhere.
So,,why the bezel from top is very thick in size?!
Not even sure what you want to hear more than what's been already said. Check the images of actual phone not some leak. Plenty of videos are available too. If you can show me another picture with this sensor from the actual device then we can get into discussion. But for now just rest and wait for the device to be available if you're so concerned about this non existent sensor
There's no sensor.
LG has always had somewhat large upper and lower bezels. I can understand the top, seeing as it houses the camera, speaker, led, and sensor but the bottom seems large for no reason other than to slap their logo on it. The bottom is almost twice as big as the top on the G4.
Yes,iam so angry with the upper thick bezel and no reson for it at all

I'd actually much prefer they put the onscreen navigation buttons on the lower bezel so there is a reason it takes up so much space, plus it'll free up a half inch of screen space.
