Anyone have any issues where swipe stops working on the second screen when the phone is powered off?
Tried rebooting, turning the second screen on and off in settings and still nothing. It works fine though when the phone is on

mine sometimes seem to not like when I swipe on it when it's off (or asleep).... but if you keep trying, it'll eventually register a swipe.
it's weird.
I think it's just not a very well calibrated sensitivity on that screen
I agree. It seems to not register immediately. It lessens the utility of the second screen.
Mine never registers

mine works fine. I think you can only swipe from right to left to show camera, flashlight...
Yeah you can swipe the other way for the music app but I can't swipe any direction

And it works when the screen is on just not when the screen is off

Is your knock on working? I couldn't swipe either when I had issue with my knock on. Had to factory reset and it's working again afterwards.

oh that's all? That's great, glad it worked out for you. That will be the first thing I'll do next time this happens again.

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.
Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk 2
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.
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.

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.
So I have not rooted.or tampered with my one yet. Noticed today that my home and back buttons don't light up.. I know they did yesterday when I got it. Did I accidentally turn them off somehow? Or should I go return? Any thoughts ladies and gents ?

Try covering the two little sensors on the top left of the phone and press the keys again to see if they light up. If they don't, then no bueno. If they do then success.
I had tried covering up the sensors and that didn't work..after 3 factory resets in bootloader they finally started working. All seems to be running fine now.

cool,. glad you got it working
Were they just not lighting up or bit working at all? I ask because there's another thread about the buttons not working at all from time to time so I'm curious if that will work for our issue as well? Don't want to factory reset if I don't have too

I just got my S4 and whenever im in my car and using the phone. My radar goes off. It shows there's a Laser nearby. I tried turning off all the extra stuff on the S4, but it still happens. Had no problem before with my Galaxy Nexus.
Anyone else having this problem??
its definitely one of the sensors tripping the detector maybe?
i have an escort 9500ix and i dont have any problems with it setting it off.

To test you phone infa red sensor. You can use any camera and hold it over the sensors. If it's going off you can see the sensor on the camera. You can also test it to see if it's working this way too.

Its weird my friends AT&T and Sprint S4 doesn't set it off.
My phone does this too when I hold it at a certain angle lol. I can make it alarm on cue. I'll try turning off adaptive display next time I'm in my car.
I thought my V1 was on the verge of dying.

Do you have Verizon S4??
Mine is still doing it, the sensor to the left of the camera is causing it. If i place my finger over it. It stops setting off my V1.
I have turned off every single sensor and it still does it.

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.
