I had someone knock my phone out of my hand and it dropped and hit the floor. After putting the battery back in and restarting the phone, I found out that I could no longer swipe my finger down from the top of the screen to pull down my notification menu. I believe my screen is now out of calibration at the top and is not registering my touch. It does work in landscape mode. I reflashed my phone with latest version on ICS. Still not working, any ideas? Thanks

So the top of the screen doesn't work at all in portrait mode?

It is on, but does no register any touch on the top quarter inch of the screen.

Hmm.... Odd that just that small of a section stopped working. Pushing harder doesn't do anything?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
No affect what so ever. I believe my screen has re-calibrated so the top section is out of the operating area. At least that is my thinking.
Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk 2
Hmm... I don't think it recalibrated. Maybe more like the digitizer was damaged.

I guess I will call Verizon in the morning and see what they say about sending out a new one unless someone has an idea. Thanks for the help.

Weird because after I changed my digitizer, now I can't swipe up on the notification bar and the screen looks perfectly placed. Are you running ics? If you are, go to developer options and select show touches and look to see if it actually registers on that area of the screen.

It does not show me touching at the top. It stops registering about a quarter of an inch from the top.

call verizon but if there is no physical damage, don't tell them you dropped it.
If there is physical damage and you get them to send a warranty replacement, they might charge you for it.
I will call them today but do I need to get my phone back to factory software? I am running a leaked version of ICS. If I need to take it back to factory software, how do I go about it? My phone is not rooted.

Can somebody please confirm is this phone has any delay between power button and lock screen? I remember the SGS2 suffered like a 2-4 second delay before the main lock screen would turn on after pressing the power button.
Ok I got a question how do you change the lockscreen shortcuts?

In WiFi settings there's a advanced tab at the bottom and from there you can choose wether to have WiFi stay connected while the phone sleeps

Shot in the dark, but you could unknowingly have status bar brightness enabled. This changes brightness by sliding across the status bar. Some ROMs have this.

No, thats not it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Suggest that you clean slate the device ...including format of the emmc .
Then reload the rom ..
Remember to move all data you want to keep too PC ...
Unless you aren't formatting the external card ...then put it there ...
This will at least tell you if it's a dirty flash or not ....and you might try a good stock type build to confirm you don't have digitizer issues ...g
Do you have auto-brightness enabled in the browser? I had mine enabled and it would automatically stay on after closing the browser.

Picked my One up today to replace my freshly broken Nexus 4. So far so good, but this home "button" registers about one out of five presses. Anyone else seeing this behavior? The back button works fine every time.

Got a screen protector on it?
The sensitivity is a bit low for it to register perfectly. Happens on mine.

I sure do! I guess I will try peeling it back and see if it helps.

I have no screen protector and my home button doesn't register often either. Also when trying to touch places in the standard browser it doesn't register immediately. Starting to think there's a defect in screen or software.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
I'm having the sane issues it does it with the back button as well. Did it before I put the screen protector on it. It doesn't help that they sit so close to the screen. When I start tapping frantically trying to make it work I end up pressing whatever is right above it on the screen. Thinking about returning it to try another but if it's a common problem I don't want to waste my time. It's not too bad usually at least one of the two buttons will register if the other one won't

Yeah it's my back button as well, I thought about replacing. It seems that quite a few people are having the issue. I don't know should I try and replace or if it's a software issue.

I know I just put the screen protector on along with a carbon fiber skin. The idea of having to go and deal with the people at AT&T alone makes me want to just deal with it. Also afraid I'll just get another one

I agree, if the issue is only on our variant then it could be software or hardware. I have no idea what to do.

Me neither. I suppose deal with it and wait to see how common it is and if any dev can fix it. I'm waiting to unlock and root anyway

I had the same issue on my device. It took three swaps to figure out it wasn't the phone but, the Zagg HD screen protector I had on it. Once I took it off, everything started behaving as intended,
I noticed last night that my Zagg screen protector still had some water bubbles (very tiny ones) near the home button. So today after another night the bubbles are gone and the home button works well enough I can assign a double tap short cut.
Never had any issues with the back button, just for reference.

Noticed the issue as well. Saw it mentioned in a recent review of the phone. You have to be really precise because the buttons are so small.

I'm almost 100% sure it has to do with the screen protector.
I was using an Otterbox Defender case which has the screen protector with the soft keys uncovered. I was using the phone without a hitch. But this morning I decided to use a different screen protector other than the one provided by Otterbox and that screen protector covers the soft keys.
Now I'm having issues with the sensitivity of the soft keys.
Somehow covering the soft keys with the screen protector affects the sensitivity level of the soft keys. I'm thinking of uncovering the soft keys just to finally confirmed that, that is the problem.

Same problem on Sprint variant. I went to the store and the display model also had same problem. Neither had a screen protector.
This is either a widespread hardware defect or a widespread software problem.
Some have said the latest update to the Taiwan variant fixed it.
RE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245637
I have had the issue as well and I believe it's software, rather than hardware. If my back button freezes and I turn the screen off and then back on, it works fine. It only seems to do it when I "overload" the back button in an app that needs it a lot, like this one.

I've had this phone for a couple of weeks and just noticed blue horizontal lines when I look at my phone from the bottom up but when I hold my phone facing me I dont see them, is it supposed to be like this?
Can someone confirm this? Or is this a defect
Thanks in advance

You are seeing the digitizer it is normal every phone I have owned had this

i545 s4 Verizon.
I fixed my broken screen myself but however I toasted the digitizer and probably some other sensor towards the top. Now when I am in the middle of a phone call, if I have to turn on the screen to get it off speaker phone or navigate to take notes or whatever, the screen will not turn on until the person hangs up the phone or until I power cycle it with the battery.
Is there some kind of option I can turn off to stop this sort of action? Thanks.
Have you tried to clean out the sensor right above the Samsung logo? A blast of compressed air will do the trick. I had a similar problem with the screen not coming on while on a call after removing the phone from my ear and this fixed my problem.

Nice! For future reference there is a way to turn it off on TW. It's under call settings > Turn off screen during calls.
