Screen clicks when tapping - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

My screen clicks when I'm using the upper 1/3 of it. It sounds as of the screen is loose and then is making full contact with the phone when I press on it. Does anyone know why it could be doing this, or is the screen actually loose?

Screen lifting?

Anyone else have the issue with their screen lifting? I noticed that it is lifting along the right side of the screen where the front facing camera is down to search button. I've never dropped my phone and although the screen still works, it's kind of annoying.

is this a feature or a defect? Pen tapping screen even before it touches the screen?

Like the title says... Is this a defect or a galaxy note feature?
Sometimes when I'm using the s pen, it seems like it taps the screen even though the pen does not even touch the screen yet. I can recreate the problem especially on the bottom right areas.
What I want to know if this actually a note feature.
It's weird because in those areas I only need to hover the pen and it will click/tap the icons there.
Same issue here with Dot button in Memo thou.

Same here... Bottom right just over the back button ... Driving me nuts
Happens to me too....
It is a feauture if you feel comfy with it. It is a defect if you do not feel comfy with it. I dnt find it to be a defect

There's been several mentions of this defect here on the forums already.
Here's the short explanation: the magnet from the speaker on the back of the phone is screwing with the s-pen signal a little bit in the lower right area of the screen.
Here's the short fix: wrap a tiny piece of aluminum tape around the s-pen, right at the bottom of the button, as seen in this video.
Or you can wait and see if Samsung makes an updated version of the s-pen that doesn't get the interference.

On screen navigation buttons?

Am I the only one who wants on screen buttons over the hardware ones? If I knew how to do it I would, but it seems like it should be a simple tweak, has anyone done this yet?

Maybe an app can do the task. As far as using the AOSP flavor of buttons? Won't happen. Sense framework won't allow it, pretty much. Same reason why we can't use the crt animation.

I like the hardware buttons...on screen is cool but take to much space on your screen.

Seems redundant and ununnecessary when you have hardware buttons already.

the 5" screen is huge, and can sometimes make using it with one hand a little hard. The on screen keys disappear when they need to, like looking at pictures or watching videos, other than that, its just like using a 4.7" screen or something around that. When using the phone with one hand it can be a little difficult to stretch your thumb all the way down to the hardware buttons without having to readjust how your are hold the phone in your hand, they are badly placed on the bottom like that.

Either you have small hands or are holding your phone weird. I have average size hands and I can reach the hw buttons and the whole screen except like a quarter of an inch at the top left without readjusting my hand.

nope, regular hands, its just the phone is so tall that its sometimes a pain with how they placed the buttons at the absolute bottom of the phone.

Upper left screen gets glitchy

Hi guys.
when i am on a landscape mode only, a big square appears every 2-10 seconds on the left upper side of the device (left to the LG logo)...
is it a software or a hardware issue?
Thanks!
Same issue here. No clue.

anyone else have this issue?
that's really strange.
I too am having the issue. Will probably use this to justify trading for another phone within my 45 day Best Buy silver premier return window. I like the phone but this issue and how my phone just shuts offs needing me to hold the power button to reset twice a week is getting annoying. I also noticed the back is easily scratched. Always run my screens naked and never had a scratch since my Diamond Touch so figured the back would fare as well as screens. Picked up three noticeable scratches on back within a week.

Is there a reason for these phones turning off like that? It happens to me a bit too, and I have to hold the power button for a bit to get it to restart.
@OP: No, I do not notice this issue. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right area though..
I think it may be related to heat. The area on mine sort of stretches and distorts the image in a nice rectangular area. If you look at the teardown, it is where the ram is located along with processor underneath. Since it happens to everyone in the same spot, I doubt it's a defect in the screen but a symptom of the heat. Can't be a harbinger of good things.

Screen fades from bottom to top

Is this an issue anyone else is dealing with? Everything is darker toward the top of the screen vs the bottom. And the fade seems to happen right in the middle of the screen.
