I did a phonecall a few minutes ago in which I used the Flyer for taking notes. Just right after the call I wanted to change the color of the pen in order to highlight some notes - and clicked on the trash bin button, so the note was pure and blank again, and no way of getting it back. Please, if you like your notes, avoid the button .
I did this too. Undo does not work

Meaning what?
It is a really bad design decision. The first rule in UI/UX design: protect user data, make it hard to delete accidentally. HTC should fix this as soon as possible.
happened to me several times.... it should be fixed...

Thanks for consolidating.
Similarly, if you use the screenshot app to mark up a map, one accidental tap on the back button blows away your work. Ugh.
I can't stand how good this phone feels in my hand and what bugs me the most is how smooth the phone is i absolutly hate it! !!!!

Honestly, one thing I do hate is not being able to hit menu with my right thumb comfortably. Wish they swapped it with the search key.

Yeah, I hate that, as well as the lack of a hardware home button capable of waking the device. I also hate that I can't seem to record both sides of a phone call like I could on the international version. And also that wallpapers are not scrollable. I really like the white version, though, and the screen quality is a little better than my other one. LTE is nice, too. But I digress, this thread is supposed to be about hate.
2 things that actually bother me right now
-How slow it charges
-Google Music's interface is all messed up because it thinks it's a tablet.

I had the Samsung Captivate, Samsung Infuse and now this. All of the samsung phone feels too smooth and yes TOO SLIM to be used without a case. I bought a slim case with some grip on it to solve this problem.
I've had all the galaxys and for this bein a stock Rom the battery has bein absolutly awesome i haven't had to carry my charger with me i traded my international note for this at&t one and i don't regret it one bit

My only issue with my phone is that my keyboard can't keep up with my typing rate thanks to the occasional pauses when touching the screen.
Atleast I can touch the screen for more than 3 seconds without it ignoring all input for another 10 seconds like the atrix.
I have zero issues hitting the home button or typing 1 handed

Well we didnt exactly expect a 1hour charge with this big battery I dont think but I feel a custom rom could remedy this soon.
I really hate the text background color.

Yes you can reassign it though you will have to be rooted for this to work. You can use root explorer go to /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl. Before going into the file make sure you have read write selected. Then click on the file and open in text editor. Simply replace the word "search" with any of the 3 touchkeys name save the file and reboot. I believe rootexplorer automatically makes a backup of the old file though it's as simple as placing the words back to get back to "stock". This is very safe, Ive done it a hundred times on my Captivate, and it should not harm your device in anyway but I'm not responsible if you somehow screw up your device.

I hate that my Note's GPS works perfectly.
Now I don't have an excuse to tell my wife why I need to upgrade to the next greatest phone that may be coming out!
Lack of ICS.
Some of you guys are complaining about frivolous things like lack of ICS when you know damn well its coming soon.
My only complaint is the back cover is a ***** to put back on--completely.
My complain is that the s pen is so nice and smooth that it went on the wrong hole, and now my s pen smells like ****

So out of no where my power button is being very strange. When I press it, it will turn on the automatically turn off I will if i press it again the screen will flash on and then off, it only does this every once in a while, but its very annoying.
At first I thought it was my rom but it does it in recovery as well, I will press the power button and acts as if I double.pressed the button.

My refurb that I received a couple of weeks ago does this as well. Very annoying. I have an upgrade available and the EVO LTE cant get here fast enough.
Add me to the list, mine has been doing it for months.
Same here! I always thought the power button was a little sensitive. I wasn't sure if it was a software issue or a design issue.
Glad to know I'm not alone..
Certainly a hardware issue. Have you seen the size of the power button without the battery cover on? If you press too hard on power often, the button may become super sensitive.
I don't know any solutions. I've experienced it, but rarely.
So if mine gets worse ill take it on for replacement
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Yay Im not alone! :O Got that issue too.
Mine too. Not rooted
Also when mine does this, 50% of the time the phone will end up rebooting before the screen says on
Power button had been a problem from the beginning, mine is so bad that it almost sits flush with the body and I have to struggle to press it and get it to work. I remember people complaining about it when the phone came out and its a simple mechanical problem.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Mine has a similar issue, but it's the volume buttons rather than the power button, where if I press it once, it registers two hits, which was particularly frustrating when I had TWRP 1.0.
It's definitely a hardware issue. My first one had this same issue. My new one doesn't have any problem at all. Switching the back cover doesn't make a difference on the new one. I can't get it to happen at all with it.
For a temp solution you can use leedroid tweaks and set something else besiders the power button to turn the screen/phone on/off. Like vol up, down, or camera button even.
Mine does this aswell, non-rooted

i though i am alone experiencing this haha, -___-
When I'm trying to draw or write on my note, when I go to use it, it draws when i get within two inches or so of the screen....
So my regular, non-cursive, writing looks like crap. Bad.
How can I turn that functionality off, or turn sensitivity down?
***Tap the S-Pen on something hard, and see if there is a difference. Took me three tries.
I'm pretty sure that is not a feature, and is a defect either in the software or unfortunately the hardware. You might need a new S Pen to fix the problem the right way.
There's a youtube video out there on how to "fix" this issue, but what it really does is reduce the sensitivity of the pen to the screen and you probably lose some serious pressure levels when applying this fix. Sorry no link, but I would advise trying your S Pen on the verizon floor model and see if it does the same thing to that one. Then you can feel fairly certain you need a replacement pen.

I was thinking the same thing... if the pen is dropped and the tip is pushed back in to the pressure sensor then it would be 'active' all the time and the hover feature would be interrupted by the phone like touching the screen. A flat tip would be a good indication of that being the case.

Woa! Confirmed! :good: Just tap it flat on a table and it's like new again. :laugh:
yeah that happened to me too briefly. the pen nib is stuck down so it thinks it's touching the screen when it gets in range of the screen

I've read that this happens when you use your finger to touch the s-pen tip/point.
I had the same problem on my s-pen too. But yea, the tapping on a hard surface seems to work.

check to see if the tip of the s pen is pressed in as it would be if you were touching the screen. It is a physical button that pushes in while writing.
Coming from S5 i've noticed that Alpha's home button is way harder to press then the one on S5, it's kinda stiff and doesn't have that 'click' like S5 does.
Anyone else also noticed that, or i have a phone with a faulty home button?
I think that's just how the alpha is. Mine is like that too

Thanks for the reply. It's kinda odd at first, but i'm getting used to it.
yes i have the same problem. Home button is hard to press than S5.
I think they made it that way.
Yes. It's a bit flatter than other samsung phones. Dont like it. I prefer the s6's home button, very clicky. But hey, gotta live with it.
