Hi all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 running Oreo 8.0 and have started to notice an odd issue when playing games.
Whenever I'm in a shooter game like PUBG Mobile, Bullet Force, Critical Ops etc. I encounter choppy touch input when trying to aim by swiping my finger around the screen; I would drag my finger and get no response for a split second then a 'jump' to where my finger is. Also, this seems to be more of an issue in the top half of the screen than the bottom depending on how I rotate the phone in landscape mode.
I tried reflashing the stock Oreo firmware with Odin and factory reset the device twice, all to no avail.
What else can I try to fix the problem or at least identify whether it is a hardware or software problem?
Thanks in advance.

You are all probably sick of hearing this, however, I am new to android from the Iphone world. I tried to do my first root with out proper research. I downloaded a "foreign" rom from what I read. My issues are as follows:
-Lost ability to use all four of my bottom touch button. I can not use my home button or search button.
-Lost my ability to Swype text.
-Can not hear or talk to incoming or outgoing calls, connect but nothing after. No connection sometimes.
-My entire layout on my phone is all different.
My Galaxy S2 is currently running
-2.3.4
-Baseband Version I9100XXKG6
-Kernal Version [email protected] #2
-GINGERBREAD.XXKG6
What I want to do is be able to start over and do the proper research and get this going again. I checked a lot of threads with posting of stock Kernals and what not, but none of the links were working. How do I get my hands on everything stock or at least something similar so my phone is back working 100%. Thanks for any and all help! I would like to use my Android to it's fullest.
You can just reflash your Rom. There are two version of s2, slcd and super amoled. Have you check whether you flashed the wrong version of Rom?

Thank you for your reply, I will be checking into this first thing in the morning. I will let you know how it goes and of I have anymore questions that aren't answered from the threads here.
And there are two different s2 too... 4.5" and 4.3". Don't get into the wrong section of forum.

So I got the Note and downloaded my n64 emulator onto it. Runs games beautifully BUT whenever I would play anything where I had to hold a button down, like Mario Kart or F-Zero, I could control for about 20 seconds until all input died. I would then have to let go of the controls and start holding again.
I thought this was weird...so...
I downloaded multitouch testers. 2 inputs OK, 3 inputs OK but the more fingers I added the more inputs would glitch in and out. Could get up to 7 and then all touch would fail.
So...
I went to Rogers and told them my issue. One of the girls working there had a Note so we downloaded a multitouch tester on it and got the same results as my Note. Then we opened a brand new Note and downloaded a multitouch tester...same issue as mine.
So could anyone test their multitouch and post results? Thanks

I got 7 as well befor multi-touch freaked out. I technically got 8 but it was not stable at all...

This is the same thing that would happen on the Atrix. Apparently leaving your fingers in one place too long is interpreted by the software as a drop of water being on the screen and the sensor would go crazy.
I tried it on a multi touch tester and it happens everytime I leave 2 fingers in the same place. Also goes bonkers when over 7 inputs are on the screen.
With the Atrix someone actually disabled the water drop feature, maybe a similar fix can be made for the Note.

Thank you for this information. Glad to know that someone knows the cause or possible cause.
Using Antutu tester I get 7 Max inputs as well as the timing out of all inputs after 15 seconds or so.
Tested using antutu...
Touch starts going nuts at 5 inputs for me. Loss of touch at around 10 seconds (I did not time it).
Actually just did some more testing... I can make it do all sorts of crazy stuff. I can make a ghost 2nd finger, cause finger 1 to blink loss of location.
I did notice it will never time out if only one finger is on screen or if 2nd finger is continually tapping.
Also noticed that it will not register touch while using s-pen (can't think of a use anyway).
Kinda sucks as a large motivation for me was playing games. I may go look at how the atrix guys fixed theirs and see if it would apply to us.

Um how would you use more than 2 while gaming?

Are you serious?
A simple game like mario on NES even requires 3. Left or right+Run+Jump
This is a serious issue. One that made me have to switch back to the Galaxy Nexus for the time being (I had a Galaxy Nexus but sold it for the Note) Its upsetting because I love to draw, and found the Note amazing...maybe I will pick up another sometime but for now I only need one device.
If I had known this I'd have never got the Note in the first place because now I own a Galaxy Nexus that I didn't personally buy brand new and maybe I will have issues with it.
Why include such a stupid feature. I've used all my androids and iphones in the past whilst it rained and it was fine. **** sakes.
Hey guys, i saw the post on the N7000 Q&A, i just tested it, can get to 10 fingers very stable, and 11 fingers (with the help of a friend) then it stops detecting, hope that helps.
To clarify the previous post, I asked on the 7000 forum if their phone had similar issues. Appears they do not. I am downloading Samsung kernel source to see if the issue is in the kernel level driver or if it is somewhere in user space.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
just finished taking a look at kernel driver... seems to be the issue. Some code that doesn't appear in the int'l version that pertains to ghost touch checking.
Matches timeout of first finger after 4 seconds when using two fingers.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
So which is the better option, change the timeout to something longer (I tried 20 seconds and it works fine)... or remove the functionality of the ghost touch detection all together?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
tablets are supposed to have more muti touch points then phones in theory,,,,but this is a good question, or a setting in build prop to have more responsiveness would be nice, am gonna call a friend who works at Samsung tommorow and see if there is a option for better responsiveness or if this is the best it will get,,,no game will support a 7 finger console so its unneeded and a waste,, i mean i can touch it with one hand with all fingers but testing it with two hands its just overkill in my eyes..
this is the first phone I have had out fo 10 in the past year that does not support 10.
I get 5
Well my main concern was just removing the timeout (I, like the op, like playing roms).I already made a kernel just changing the timeout, but was looking to see if people thought we should just lose the ghost touch all together.

MultiTouch Tester
Okay, so I built a kernel with ghost touch completely shut off and it has been working great (little over a day now). At the moment my plan is to run it through tomorrow and if I still have no issues I will release it hopefully sometime Sunday evening for testing. I am thinking of making a version that allows turning it off an on from userspace (or set timeout), should someone want that feature, but I don't know.
As far as 10 finger multitouch goes....
I really can't think of a single time where I thought to myself, "if only my 7th finger on the screen would register correctly.." so I will likely not bother with that unless someone shows a real need.

I started a thread about the digitizer problem in Janauary about things suddenly scrolls rapidly, especially when browsing webpages.
Then on the Jan 15th, I took it to warranty, but without being able to demonstrate the problem clearly, all they done was reflashing the firmware.
I've already tried to fix the bug in the driver, but it is damn hard to filter the "noisy" touches without side effects. (like ignoring movements that are too quick, then i can't type in swype quickly)
I should have known *#0*# earlier, as I'm now able to reproduce the problem right in front of them.
On March 15, I took it to them again. Today, got my phone back with replaced touch screen. Then, tested it in front of their CS and reproduced the bug as shown in the attachment again.
I suggest anyone who owns an ace, please go into *#0*# to test your phone. Keep circling around the lower-left box for at least 10 minutes. Reply to this thread if you're able or not able to reproduce this. I may print this thread to Samsung on my next visit to them.
I've also uploaded a video to youtube to show this. (it's around 1:51 for the bug to appear)
We need to get Samsung to fix this!!
Yup I've got the same problem.
Notice it a lot with Draw Something.
*#0*# doesn't work for me, probably because I am rooted and have a custom rom. (ICSunday by Jusada).
That probably means I lost my warranty
Yes, I have this problem to. The first time occurred with less than 30 seconds of testing and the second around 1:20 min.

Hey bro
Take a screenshot if it happens again, it's still a good evidence that there's other users that got this problem.
btw, does it draw lines to the same direction like in my photo?

I have the scrolling problem and when you are viewing really long pages and the screen suddenly starts scrolling rapidly
We surely need to tell Samsung to do something about it

Yes, it's Samsung's own test menu in stock roms. But it should be reproducible in whatever drawing app.
Thought i ONLY had this PROBLEM!!
Its not only in STOCK browser also in DOLPHIN, OPERA.. And others. The page suddenly moves to the end with a slight touch!! Wat does the SAMSUNG ppl say about this??
Hope we GET a EXCHANGE of THE SET!!
it always happen when I scroll the long page slowly :/
I hope Samsung will fix it soon
They said they will be replacing my phone's motherboard, as they have already replaced my touch screen.
I wonder if it's fixed in S5830"I", otherwise even exchanging with a brand new ace won't solve it. I would try to ask them to exchange with an ace plus, or maybe I had to escalate a brand new ace first, and take it to "repair"
Well, since its a hardware problem, I don't think they can fix it with an update. I've experienced it my self countless times as well.
I noticed this when playing Air Control...
Also the rapid scrolling in Dolphin Browser is familiar to me!
I have that probably too
Yaiyeee!! New phone

Well I faced that problem too while using DiskUsage App. Just a slight touch and it moved to right end corner.
i have the same problem.
I've had this happen to me as well, can be quite annoying.
I'm not sure there's anything we can do about it unfortunately, but it doesn't affect the phone all the time. If it did, I'd be asking for a refund
Although, those Galaxy Ace Plus' do look nice...
is ther a pertition we can sign? or something? obviousley its a fault, so now what for us ace owners??

Galaxy Note 2 turns off automatically
This problem exists on the Galaxy Note 2 as well. The problem is hardware related. The phone is flawed and shuts off on it's own under various conditions, all hardware related. Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjLn2yikYnI
I am not able to post externally due to not having enough posts yet. However, I have had the same issue on 3 Galaxy Note 2's from Verizon. I also provide more details on exactly what is going happening on the following website...
wwwDOTgalaxynote2shutsoffDOTcom
You will have to paste that link in to a new browser and replace the DOTs accordingly to get to it, but once you see the video, you will be enlightened.
So I got the V10 a few weeks ago, love it way more than my old Note 3 and more than i would have loved the Note 5 i was considering. Few questions though:
1. When is Verizon gonna release a software update for the fingerprint case fix?
2. Morst importantly, is there a way I can change an app's notifications to force them to the second screen? (Yes I'm talking about you, Google Messenger.) Like a third-party app or something maybe.
3. Any non-root way to customize the soft key buttons, like to different logos or something?
4. IR Blaster- seems to me its got a range of like 8 feet. Which works fine in my room, but when I try to change the channel in the dining hall, it doesnt have the range of my Note 3. Any way to increase the range?
I'm new to this site so sorry if i broke any rules by posting multiple questions in one post, just looking for some help. Thanks to anyone who can help me out a bit!

I am coming from the Galaxy S5. I am looking for a app to help with my notifications also. I LOVE me led notifications. I usually won't even get a phone without that but wanted to try this phone. I like the phone but I am really missing that. I heard a little about light flow but don't know much about it.

Hi Nick,
I can't help with 1, 3 & 4 ... but as for your second question; My Notifications have automatically just appeared on the 2nd Screen as they come in. I did play around with the 2nd Screen Options in Settings, and there are more options in there as well.
After reading a lot about this phone here and on other forums, it seems there's a big operational difference between Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and the others - ESPECIALLY ON THIS PHONE - so as you keep searching for answers (as I have) try to figure out if the post is from a user with the same network you're on.
