After 4 refurbs I finally got a new phone, went it to Sprint and was going to get another refurb, but they gave me a brand new one. So, I have been extremely observant with this new one, I have noticed when typing my finger press doesn't always register, its only on the left side of the phone in la.escape mode. And sometimes the spacebar doesn't recognize. So i downloaded order and chaos, (wow mobile) and the virtual joystick stutters and doesn't register my finger press. *NOTE* this isn't app based. It happened when clicking on apps from drawer no matter what launcher. I'm wondering if its the digitizer. 4 days oldandth is one fails already. Sick of HTC.
EDIT: good example right there. Meant * 4 days old and this * and landscape*

Just curious... Are you using go locker or some other lock screen? I had stuttering touch response when I was using go locker......
If that's not the case... Then maybe you need it replaced... Again...
I am using golocker. Haha maybe that's the problem. I'll turn it off for a few days and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah let us know how it goes. I really like go locker and I have asked the devs to fix it but I never got a response from them...
Disabling it did the trick. That's so weird. Glad I know a fix, sad an amazing locker has to be disabled. I guess I can just turn it off when gaming ect. Still a bummer. But thanks for the tip!

I just picked up my third evo3d because of this exact thing. If they threaten to send it in threaten to return it and they will give you a new one. Its that simple.
So, yes. you can get another one.
I took my first one back for really bad light leakage I get this one back and there's a dead pixel right smack in the middle. I couldn't really see with all the light outside but I just noticed it. FML

Just as loose.....I swear my luck is terrible. Now I have a loose slider and a dead pixel. Ehh I guess that's life. I'm not driving back to exchange again eff it. I'll accept my punishment and move on. At least crazy light leakage is gone but at the cost of a dead pixel....

You have the right to return it in the first 30 days. Dont take the employees crap.
Seriously. You have the right to take it back as much as you want till you get a good one as long as you do it in the first 30 days. Just go back and dont take no, if they say it Return the phone and go to a different store.
I don't know if this affects anyone else but I have noticed that on more than one occation that if I hold down the power button and click restart phone that the phone will power down but will not reboot. I have to manually power it back on. Not a huge deal but wanted to see if this is happening to anyone else.
yup, has happened to me as well.
Same here, IDK why.

Sorry, working as it should here. Must be some app you fellas installed.

Mine just stays off as well.
Mines never worked. Did factory reset with no luck. Would this be a good enough reason to get an exchange without a restocking fee??

Got mine in the mail today and its very impressive...I notice slight lag when scrolling thru the home screens, but I'm sure a custom kernel/ROM can fix that. Not sure why is there for some and not others. I was thinking maybe it has something to do with the touch screen being calibrated to accept the S-pen? And there's acceptable variances/tolerances in manufacture and programming? IDK but I am still impressed with this device. It took next to no time at all to adjust to the size. Just have to convince my girl to accept the GSII as hand me down phone to justify the second line now on my contract!

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.

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.

If it did the same thing with a stock rom, it might be a problem with the phone. I'm using the i605 and I've been on beans build 10 and i have never had a delay problem.
How long is the delay usually?
The delay is almost un noticable. I would guess less than half a second. But there is a slight delay.

It's also well known and been asked a lot. Under display unchecked the auto adjust screen seems to help. Ultimately though it's just how the note 2 is and will (for now) always be there.

Well then even if that's the problem I guess we get to live with it. I know it's been talked about a lot here too. Never heard it was JB.
Oh well I'm far from important enough to need my phone so fast that a half second delay is gonna be a problem.

Thanks for your replies. I am not really annoyed by this. It only seems to do it when the phone has been at idle for a while. Its not something I would knock this phone for. This things a beast so I can live with a tiny delay. Haha. Thanks again and hope that maybe itll get fixed in either official 4.2 or maybe key lime

i got rid of the unlock delay by disabling the lock screen...been using my n2 this way for a month now. no pocket dialing or anything random...actually dont think i could go back to using a lock screen.
afaik it's an exynos issue. you can do a few things to get the most out of it, but the processor will always take a second to pull itself out of deep sleep.
