Hi all, i have a N1, with 5.0.6 version...
I reaally reaaally feel that my buttons are unresponsive... But, that not happens all the time, sometimes i just almost rub them and they work, but sometimes i need to press them twice to make them work...
I disabled the haptics because they felt weird, (very soft)... is there a way to test them? or its just me that im being paranoic nad not pressing them the way i should?
How centered do you have to press your´s for them to respond?
the sensors are actually much higher than the center, i beleive this was done to force or emulate a full finger press on the icon to activate the button even though you can just tap higher to get it to work.
i also heard the position was altered in the latest cyanogen but that may be false, i have it and haven't noticed a difference.
Thanks...
Is there a way to force a calibration on the screen?
Is there an app to test them?
I thought cyan changed the area of the button, but it was taken out in the newer ones (xxx.3 and xxx.6).
have you faced any haptics issues?
I've gotten used to just putting my whole finger on the soft keys and making sturdy presses... it works every time.
Yup...
But, i dont understand why sometimes i just rub it and it works like a charm, but often i have to press it twice to make tehm work!
Hi all. Got my first ATIV S Neo with Sprint a couple weeks ago, had graphical corruptions, and random reboots, replaced it for another.
This one works much better, but there are some issues I'm seeing (nitpicking?) and I'm not sure if I have another defective handset or if this is just WP8, or if this is common to just this handset. Came from an HTC arrive on WP7.5 and things were pretty stable.
1) Occasional live tile animation stuttering; If I, for instance, go into the messages hub, sometimes the live tile swing animation will lock for half a second and then immediately pop into the message hub. Happens loading other apps too.
2) Occasional lock screen weirdness;
2a) very rare; press power button, screen comes on, screen fades out like the phone lost power but not to backlight, then backlight shuts off, pressing the power button again, everything works fine.
2b) occasional; in a dark room, press the power button to wake to lock screen, press again to turn off. screen/backlight goes out, backlight comes back, then goes out, then quickly comes back and back out.
3) in IE, typing in the address bar, text input freezes as it brings up suggestions from bing. (type "google.com" and get "gole.com"). disabling search suggestions makes it go away.
4) Text notifications stop working; sometimes the text notification sound stops playing (vibrate remains working). Reboot corrects it. Have also had it where the vibrate alert goes away and not the sound.
Anyone else seeing these? Are these known or is this phone also messed up?
Haven't seen those on my (open-market GSM) ATIV S, but there were a handful of glitches when I first got the phone. Those were corrected in the first big fiormware update from Samsung in my case, but I had to wait a few months for it.

Thanks, that makes me feel a little more comfortable. These problems really don't feel like hardware to me, since they're fairly infrequent. I might have to stop by the sprint store and test the display model out a little.
???
Had my S5 since launch day so I'm pretty comfortable with the overall feel and navigation of the device (came from a Note 3, miss the size but I'll get over it)...however, I do have some issues with the phone and if you know any trick to eliminate these issues or if you at least know what causes these issues, please let me know..these issues taint an otherwise great experience compared to my S4 last year.
1. Serious lag when pressing power button, home button, or opening up S-View cover to wake screen...literally takes 4-6 seconds to come on
2. When streaming a video, phone randomly turns screen off, meaning I have to press that power button again, confirm my fingerprint again, and press play...again...
3. Lock screen and S-View weather doesn't update if you don't have the Accuweather widget on your homescreen
4. Is it just me, or is the word recognition of the Samsung keyboard when using swype motions worse than its ever been?
5. recent apps takes about 2 seconds to come up after pressing the button
Other than that, I'm pleasantly surprised at battery life, never had wifi speeds like this before, screen looks great, S-View cover is still the sh*t, my fingerprint scanner works flawlessly, camera is really impressive, navigation has virtually no lag at all, and thank you Samsung for Private Mode...no more garbage Gallery Lock applications...
Sounds like you've got a bad device, I've got no lag at all, including when opening the s-view case. Might want to switch it out for another while you can.

1. Serious lag when pressing power button, home button, or opening up S-View cover to wake screen...literally takes 4-6 seconds to come on
no lag at all here, smooth and fast, pry the first time I've ever used a stock Android device that's this smooth and fast out of the box.
edit: not sure of s-view cover as I don't use it, I use a Khomo Slim on my Tab3 8.0 and it's pretty quick waking up, just checked and it's like a second or so to wake up.
2. When streaming a video, phone randomly turns screen off, meaning I have to press that power button again, confirm my fingerprint again, and press play...again...
no issues here either
3. Lock screen and S-View weather doesn't update if you don't have the Accuweather widget on your homescreen
not sure as I'm using GoLauncher Prime and loose the Sammy widget, trying to find another good one as I have Beautiful Widgets Pro from before but haven't installed after seeing all the complaints about it now on newer devices
4. Is it just me, or is the word recognition of the Samsung keyboard when using swype motions worse than its ever been?
no problem here either, was fine for me on stock keyboard, switched to swiftkey though since I own it
5. recent apps takes about 2 seconds to come up after pressing the button
again no issue here, pretty much instant for me

Ah, the patented power button and home button lag. I remember them well from my Note 3. Samsung fanboys will try to tell you that it doesn't happen, but they are in denial. The Note 3 was the fastest Samsung device I have owned and it still did it. And the power button lag drove me mad.
Only issue i seemed to be having is that the display doesn't seem to be flush so I'm collecting dust on the top already.

No lag here and certainly no 2 second delay for recent apps. But then again, I'm sure it's just because I'm a Samsung fanboy who's in denial.

Every time there's some kind of reported lag/delay for a device, there are always a handful of people with the device (thus invested in it and in need of validation for their purchase) who insist that the lag doesn't exist, even when every single review and blog site confirms it.
I wouldn't say that the multitasking lag is 2 seconds, but it's definitely there. It was mentioned in a few professional reviews and I confirmed it myself on a display unit. It's not a horrendous delay, but it's definitely not as instantaneous as it is on other phones. It may be that it's waiting to confirm that the button isn't being held for the secondary function (menu), which is the perils of using one button for multiple functions.
On my Note 3, sometimes the power button would work as expected and other times, you'd push it and it would be a full 2-3 seconds before the device would turn on/off. Even after I disabled every single service I didn't need/want, it persisted. I would love to think that Samsung eliminated all of these little delays, but the reality is that they need to rewrite Touchwiz from the ground up and optimize it.

Fanboy my a$$, also have an iPhone 5 and 5S. I have no lag with multi or home, maybe a split fraction of a second just like my iPhone (just as responsive as them) , guess I'll have to get a vid to prove it
If the split second is considered lag, then our iPhone 4S/5/5S are laggy too
I'm not saying the phone is garbage, just that it'd be nice for this phone to be close to the M8 in terms of reaction...anyone who has messed with an M8 will tell u that the moment you press something it comes up, zero lag, zero waiting for extra input.
However, I'll sacrifice that for imo a better overall phone.

No real lag for me. 1/2 a second or so it seems.
2. When streaming a video, phone randomly turns screen off, meaning I have to press that power button again, confirm my fingerprint again, and press play...again...
Haven't seen this issue on mine at all
3. Lock screen and S-View weather doesn't update if you don't have the Accuweather widget on your homescreen
This drives me nuts! I thought it was just me!
4. Is it just me, or is the word recognition of the Samsung keyboard when using swype motions worse than its ever been?
Works good for me. I so far haven't felt the need to go back to swiftkey which has been my go-to for nearly 2 years
5. recent apps takes about 2 seconds to come up after pressing the button
Takes about the same amount of time it takes the screen to power up from hitting the power button. 1/2 second or so.
I think I'd be visiting a store ASAP if your phone is having these lag issues. Have read a few reports about this but I haven't really seen it on my device so far.
Has anyone experienced app crashes lately? My phone has been working great for days now, then today it seems like every app in open crashes and stops responding. It will lock up my phone and won't stop until reset.

I have a quick gripe, I could be missing something though.
There is no real indication that I see if I am on wifi or not.
It still says 4g and the status bar doesn't seem to change unless I am missing something.

The wifi signal icon shows you are on wifi....
Oh then something is wrong with my phone or there is a setting that needs to be adjusted,
I do not see the wifi symbol anywhere
Turning wifi on and connecting it is the only thing you should have to do.
I can confirm multitasking and wake up lag.

Finally it works, I dont know if it helped, but I cleared cache, restarted and forgot and reconnected to wifi and now icon is back.
I honestly have no lag what so ever on practically anything. I am using Nova Launcher though if that changes anything. Swype is ****ty though, I just want root...

The only lag i experience is through Samsung apps and multitasking button. I'm guessing it's because it is waiting for a hold. Just like if you disable s voice on home key your back to home response time is much faster.

Hi, I'm about to go for a Neo (don't need a camera), but the reason i returned my original gear was the "turn your wrist to turn the screen on" motin was either
- Too unreliable - meaning i'd be twisting my wrist like a fool just to see the time
- Annoying when i was playing the piano (screen went on/off like crazy)
I'm wondering if this is improved at all? Also, is it possible to actually turn it off completely?
Shame this watch doesn't have an always-on clock....

that will never change
you move your arm --> motion sensor activates the screen
what you can do: lower the screen timeout to 10sec or deactivate the motion completely
settings -> display -> wake-up gesture -> off

Mine is very flaky. Funny thing is I was missing the way my Pebble worked 95% of the time and meant to ask about this until I ran across this thread. With this, wrist flick is maybe 50%, OR I have to do an exaggerated arm raise motion - I can't just look down and flick my wrist like I would on my Pebble to see anything. Also when it does work, it's slow - there's like a half second where I'm waiting in suspense for the display to wake. Maybe you people that came from the older Gears are used to that and it's ok for you, but with my Pebble I was never waiting - maybe it's due to the fact that Pebble is only turning on the backlight from the sensor, as the display is on all the time.
Which brings me to my biggest frustration. I had hoped that somehow an AMOLED screen could be set up to be always on with just the basic info while still saving battery (like active notifications on the Moto devices). I hope that somehow there's a way to work around this and have a simple info display that could be always on (no colors/animations, just white text on the black background to save power). If i needed to charge every night, that's fine. I'd rather have that than look like/feel like an idiot shaking my wrist around and still not getting it to wake up. That's one of the reasons I returned the Sony smartwatch last year.
I just received my NEO yesterday.
The motion sensor *is* rather sensitive and ANY vertical arm motion with even the slightest twisting kicks the phone screen on. At first it's interesting . . . after a while it's a bit annoying.
I would like to have a self-defined motion, or perhaps a bit more control over exactly when it turns on.
At least it would be better if we could reduce the screen time to 3 or 5 seconds that would lessen the distraction.
I turned the motion sensor off and that's actually pretty good -just got a text message and it displayed correctyl, and for now a quick press to see the time is not bad.

Over time my neo appeared to become more and more unresponsive to my wrist movements until it stopped completely and only pressing the button allowed me to see the clock. After reading this post and the replies I decided to press the 're-set Gear' switch in 'Settings' on the Neo. This removes all the stored data from the device and restores the factory defaults.
After restoring the Bluetooth link using the gear manager app on my Galaxy S5 gesture control was restored and worked perfectly. Also I switched off the gesture control using the button in 'Settings' under 'Display' and that worked too.
What I can't tell you is why what I did worked. However as the onset of the problem was gradual it might suggest that it might be related to a gradual build-up of data in the Neo's memory that might be a factor affecting the device's performance. I suspect more time deleting alerts and notifications might help, or if you're not using your neo to play music or store photos and videos you could just do what I did as and when the need arises while we wait for Samsung to supply a system upgrade to solve the problem.
I hope this reaches you in time to stop you sending your Neo watch back as I have become very fond of mine. I too play pianos and synths but I've always taken off any watches before playing out of personal preference, but we can always switch our Neos' gesture control off while playing, but beware of any mics nearby picking up it's chimes!
My Neo is no longer responding to the wrist motion. I've tried resetting it to stock numerous times, and reloading (never restoring) all the software.
Could it be that the motion sensor has failed?
I got this in Dec 2014, and I'm really disappointed that this has happened already. It was easily my favorite feature.
Is there any test, or diagnostic I can run to confirm my suspicions?
Samsung Gear S2 Smartwatch Wakeup Gesture Doesn't Work
I had the same problem with my Gear S2. Tried everything, including disabling "Do not disturb", but wakeup gesture still didn't work. Reported problem to seller who sent another S2, but it also did not work.
Anyone else having problems with the sensitivity on fast scrolling? Seems to not be as smooth or compared to the iPhone 6 and HTC One M8 I have been playing with...It's almost too sensitive or something, I can't quite put my finger on it.
Do you mean the effect where things sometimes bounce back while scrolling?

There is an earlier topic about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/help/swipe-issues-t2888154
The phone has an extra-sensitive touch screen because it has a "glove mode", and I'm thinking the effect of the technology for that glove mode isn't completely suppressed when the glove mode is disabled, so the touch screen would still be slightly more sensitive than those of other phones, even when glove mode is disabled.
If glove mode is enabled, the touch screen is so incredibly sensitive that without gloves, it will register a touch when you hover your finger about a millimetre above the touch screen.
I found that for me it helps to use "lighter" and shorter swipes. Also after a swipe lifting my finger a bit higher off the screen than I was used to.
Some people might always have been doing shorter and lighter swipes, hence not everyone is experiencing the problem. It's also been said on the Xperia support forum that not all units use the same glass for the front; some use "gorilla glass", others use "dragontrail" glass. That could also be influencing the touch screen sensitivity/behaviour.
I've adjusted my swiping habits relatively quickly and now I get the bounce back effect only once in a while.
I do hope that Sony comes with a firmware fix to compensate for the over-sensitivity though.

hi, is it normal? happen to my unit also.. quite annoying i can tell.. different with my TX..
Go into developer options and enable "Show touches", perhaps touch the screen a few times then turn off show touches.
Sorts it out for me! I was having a nightmare swiping down to select words in Fleksy.
This workaround will do for me until Sony fix it properly!

I really wish there was a way to turn down the sensitivity. During typing, I frequently have screen presses register as very short swipes, which is incredibly irritating, as I then have to backspace and delete two words.

Touch screens usually respond to metal. The screen of my Z2 tablet does.
My screen is so sensitive I can operate it using my leg... through the pocket. I saw in Z1 and Z2 threads that there is a config file that can be adjusted, however I'd have to root in order to do that, and I don't want to risk losing my warranty (esp. not when reading about glass breaking by itself).
It's not a massive problem -- all it takes is switching off "double tap to wake" and camera launch button. But those are features that are useful. On the other hand, having my phone suddenly switch Torch on, call a random person in my phonebook or reorder icons on the launcher desktop isn't all that exciting either -- not a fan of surprises.
Has anyone else found the Z3 Compact screen too sensitive? (Glove mode is off, obviously.)

On my previous phone (xperia acro s) it often happened that my leg messed with the phone when the screen went on for the alarm going off in my pocket. It was really annoying. I was always afraid that some important settings changed without knowing it.
My screen is so sensitive that I the last couple of weeks only have managed to send a few sms without having to delete several words that are written wrong...!
The speeddialer is also terrible and often leads to wrong contacts...
This phone is by far the worst phone I have ever had regarding these issues!
Is this a sign of a faulty phone or can you relate to these problems as well?
Is there a solution???
My speed dial wasn't working out of the box. Had to make a factory reset, that fixed it. Sensitivity isn't interfering with my writing though. My previous phone was a bit bigger so I had to get used to writing on a smaller keyboard. But why would touchscreen sensitivity be an issue when writing anyway? Are you using a swipe keyboard?
No I'm just using it out of the box settings...? I can see swipe is enabeled but I text normal... I have had to disable autocorrecting words when I write... It is really strange... I have had many different smartphones over the last 15 years and this is by far the most responsive ever tending to be useless because of the many mistakes I make during calls and sms...
I never had any issues what so ever with my M7...?
I have just disabled "motioninput" (roughly translated from danish...) under Xperia-texting and this seems to have helped alot!!!
I'm on the same boat - it's too sensitive compared to my m8. Hoping for update to fix it
You really should try to do what I did and disable motioninput! It really helps ??

I've tried this as well, but unfortunately no change, I still get bounce-backs when I don't use particularly light and short swipes.
