I cant seem to reach the edge of the screen. I have attached a screens shot I took in a drawing app. The gap was smaller before now it seemes to have increased. Is it just me or is everyone s3 like this?? U can also see this by using the pointer location in developer options and trying to touch the edge.
This is really annoying when I try to interact with things that are in the edge like the slider in a video player

Do this test. >> Open dialer and type *#0*# >> Touch >> now touch every cube shown. It will show whether your phone really has any touch problems or now. more secret codes here: http://bit.ly/MKPPp8
Here for me is normal

Did the test.
Al the cubes are lid green, so that's good. But the lines stayes a mm or so from the side.
Think it's what TS means. Don't think it's a problem though.

Yes I have tried that and it has passed that test but I don't think h have read my post clearly. If u have seen the attached image there is a big gap between the very edge of that image and the red line. I cannot draw that red line any closer to the edge. If the gap was small It would have been ok but it is quite big

i'm on absolution 3.7. how can i stop my phone from entering the lockscreen when a call is busy? when a call is busy, the phone goes to the lockscreen. how do i make it enter the dialpad instead?
I believe in the phone/Settings and should be an option on where to exit after call, at least there is on my IncS/ICS-4.0.4:thumbup:

hi, TheCrow.. can you tell me where in the phone settings i can do this? i cant find it. thanks.
On your phone go and push the phone icon and the dial/touch pad will be than at the bottom of the screen you have the 3 small touch horizontal lines that's your menu option, than after you touch that while in the phone dial pad you will see Settings and maybe 2-3 options down it asks something like where to exit to after phone hangs up so let me know if you find it ok

i think youre referring to the setting, 'return to dialer after call'. i checked and unchecked that option and it does nothing. it goes back to the lockscreen. but i noticed something interesting. when i call a busy number and i dont have the phone to my ear (screen is on), the call returns to the dialer. but when i have it to my ear (screen is off), then take it off my ear (screen is lit again), thats when it goes to lockscreen. theres got to be a way to edit a file to fix this sh'it, like, disable the lockscreen when the phone is on your ear (screen is lit).

yeah... absolutely.. how do we begin this? i'd like to 'star' it, like you said. what must we do first?
You should go through a recording of one run, say about 20mins or so while at same time performing acts that you feel made the issues and than when you go back to look at the record just look for 'error' areas in usually red color than take a screen shot of the highlighted error lines than post the screen shot and maybe we or others can look into it

hi everyone one of the major problem is with xperia s i the capasitive keys arent very responsive sometimes have to press twice,and more.
is there actually a way to improve is it rom or kernel related can it be fixed by kernel tweaks. i know many of you say will get used to it its just pain in neck
Don't press, swipe!!!

what a nonsense! swipe well how do you get to recent apps by swiping! you meant to long press. my question was any solution as (kernel) not to workaround it. it was never designed to work swipe it was designed to work by press, and it does not!
I removed the screen protector and it did improve the touch sensitivity considerably.

Swipe actually works fine for the recent apps. Just stop on the dot and wait.
Personally, I find the swipe motion easier then aiming for the silly dot. Never had issues since starting to swipe rather than press. But that's just me.
For me it works when pressing above the dots, not directly at the dots (about halfway from the dots to the display).
Also, I can press anywhere near the dots when using the whole thumb instead of only a fingertip.
so what you saying we cant increase sensivity with kernel

This is typically a hardware restriction. No software changes could possibly enhance the touch sensitivity. These dots weren't made like other Androids' capacitive buttons.
Correct me if I'm wrong though, but to me it doesn't seem possible

you right thanks
Because since I bought this device to make the screenshot with the gesture of the palm.
I tried a thousand times but nothing to do.
What is wrong?
I think it's easy! It 'a problem of my device?
The logical option is flagged, but never once succeeded.
Will you help me figure out if something is wrong or some application that bothers him??
Thank you!
did you enabled the motion in the settings > motion > palm swipe to capture (checked)? also tried rebooting/factory resetting it?
Go to your Settings > Motion > Scroll to the bottom and make sure that "Palm swipe to capture" option is checked and then you should be fine to take screenshot using your hands. And by saying your palm we don't mean put your hand on the screen and swipe it to the left or right we mean by the side of your palm on the screen and swipe it..
Thanks to both. I checked everything several times but to no avail!
I tried both with the original ROM when I purchased both with other rom modified (Original - Omega - Fox Hound).
I have to take care in your opinion??
No new ideas??????
The term I've heard is " karate chop" in describing it
1. Shape your hand as if you are going to "karate chop" the right hand side of the screen.
2. Chop the right side and touch the screen with the edge of your hand.
3. Keep your hand in contact with the screen and swipe right > left
I couldn't get to work either until I realised I was moving my hand across the screen too slowly works every time now.

I do not know how to thank you! I did not realize and was not described in the instructions that you have to touch the screen by moving the palm! I passed over it without touching it or touch the display, I could try thousands of times and still do not understand!! Thanks, thanks and thanks again!!

Yep the, "Karate chop," works for me thanks. I thought I might have lost the functionality when flashing to Omega but nope still works fine. Just do it quickly and it'll work.
In fact, I was wrong from the start! Realizing now I'm happier, but not to take the screenshot with the palm, but rather believe that my device had a manufacturing defect!

Hi there,
Sorry to hear your problem. If the image is fine when you transfer to the laptop then you have a faulty screen.
Resetting software won't make a difference, it's the way your screen is displaying the information that's the problem.
You have a row of damaged pixels I would say.
Does the 'line' stay in the same position when scrolling?

Hhhhmmm that's strange. It's definitely not a pixel problem but does seem to me that the display is getting confused. Does it only do this sort of thing in the browser? Is it only when there's writing on a white background? If it's only in the browser you could download a different browser and try that.... Might make a difference.
If it's still doing it I would take phone back for a replacement
I've heard of this happening on other S2's and its a screen defect you should go and get a replacement.
Yeah guys it happens not only in browsing but other times as well..do i need to replace the display or just an IC??
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
so i figured starting a general thread for bugs and issues would be a better idea to consolidate everything into one thread!
I've got the Verizon G2, so it would be interesting to see if other carriers have the same issue. These are all, for the most part, software issues.
for me, its:
1.) Launcher Redraw.
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpn-hZnEPqg (ending shows homescreen launcher lag too)
I've posted a video yesterday, and will be posting another today showing how after almost every app, the launcher is redrawing, and therefore causes lag if you goto switch screens after hitting home. doesn't always do it, but does for the majority of the time. it does it enough that it warranted me rooting the phone to try to fix it, so I'm going to give v6 supercharger a go soon and do the bulletproof launcher. I'm apprehensive though because we don't have recovery to make a nandroid...
2.) *solved*Lag on notification drop down on lock screen
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLWUXOu68d8
did you set your wallpaper to non scrolling? if you didn't know you can do this, you can. if you goto gallery and select a custom wallpaper, at the top it gives the option of non scroll or scroll, which is awesome. however, beware.. when you do non scroll, for some weird reason your notification drop down will lag in the home screen. setting it back to scrolling wallpaper alleviates this. very weird
3.) Audio during video recording.
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU6Sp5V5Hv0 (also shown is the "breathing" auto focus we all experience.)
The audio during video recording uses noise cancelling mics, which can be good as we've seen in other flagship phones. however, on the g2, they sound identical to the htc rezound from 2011. that phone had really bad wishy washy underwater sounding audio when the source was remotely loud. the g2 does the same thing sadly. other phones, such as the htc dna (shows that htc learned their lesson..) and the gs3/gs4 do not have this issue.. hell, even the galaxy nexus didn't.
I'm hoping that once we get developers on it, they'll make a modified camera that can allow for either the reduction in gain from the microphones, or to be able to cancel the noise cancellation to stop the underwater sound. on the rezound, htc somewhat fixed it with the ics update. here's hoping LG will do the same.
4.) Speaker has built in limiter/compression.
this is most annoying because i like listening to music on the speaker. sounds good but the thing is its being compressed and limited at a certain level, so you don't actually hear the best quality of the song. for example if the drums get really loud, it compresses and limits them down to your volume level, which takes away intensity of the song and just doesn't make it sound even. hoping to find a setting to turn this off...
5.) screen brightness changes with Auto brightness off depending on what's on the screen.
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slwkFhpiYbs&feature=youtu.be
this is that content adaptive brightness crap that they forced on the phone. it changes based on more whites or more blacks on the screen, then dims and brightens accordingly. it's incredibly annoying and there's currently no way to turn it off. in titanium i found an app called content adaptive back light and then i removed it.. it still does it.
what issues are you having with it?
Sent from my LG G2 using Tapatalk 4
my wallpaper doesn't scroll and when I pull the notification bar down I don't have any lag.
I'm gonna post the video when i get home from work. it does it every single time I have non scrolling on the stock launcher, and once I switch to scrolling, it's smooth again. remember, this is on the lockscreen.

1. There is a headphone CPU noise issue when charging. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448854

Really? when i was playing with the verizon version. the homescreen/app drawer was still transparent with a wallpaper i had downloaded from goodfon.com. when you went to apps it went away. but kept at transparent on the ones i stated. i guess i'll find out tomorrow when my G2 arrives.

Yes this is unfortunate and unreliable. I wonder if an update can fix this. They may worried about it being too sensitve.
On another matter, my Verizon version is prone to turning on the camera or note pad when in my pocket via the rear buttons. Even prone to turning on the phone when sitting on a table off because of the sensitivity of the rear buttons. Not sure if it is just the verizon model or both.

Your pic shows status bar shaded darker. I see truly transparent on stock wallpaper. There is a slight shading on bottom soft keys, but otherwise transparent.
Another thing I see -- transparent forces soft keys to be white regardless of what you select.
I got intermittent distortion with my Icon HD bluetooth headset during calls. Doesnt matter if the phone is in my pocket or just sitting on a desk next to me. This didnt happen with any of my previous phones (S4, One, Nexus)
Lock Screen Camera App Image?
Is this supposed to happen? If I start a swipe to unlock, the camera app image goes away, but then comes back...
Is this a shortcut to the camera? Usually if I swipe from an app on the bottom that is my shortcut.
yeah man swipe to the left to bring up camera like on stock android.

Where is that located?!?!?!?!? I keep seeing the an icon on the task bar that is a box with an eye in the corner and generally the brightness changes when it comes on, but I can't find any info on the icon. I think it might be that, not sure.
The issue I notice is when I get a text and click on it to go to the convo about 25% of the time it goes to the top of the thread and not the bottom where the most recent text is.....

get quick shortcut maker and type in content adaptive.. and it'll come up. make a shortcut open the app, and turn it off.. tell me if you notice. because I turned it off, and it STILL did the annoying brightness change. then I deleted the app in titanium and it still does it anyway.
