Hallo
After I updated to 4.2.2 my screen stopped respond to the touch. but only to touch with the finger and that is allso the "hard buttons", like Back and Menu. if i use the S-pen there is no problem.
I didnt have this problem befor updating, only after.
I have try to "Factory data reset" but that has not help. But it is like there is a "do not respond to finger touch, only to Spen" setting on.

I hope i have explained well enough.

Update: its somehow related to the case I was using. There is some sort of a proximity sensor in the phone and its getting confused and thinking the case cover is closed.


Was able to recreate the problem several times when its IN or even sitting ON the case. But is has never happened when the tablet is OUT of the case.

Does that case have a magnet in it?
There is a "magnetic" sensor on the left side of the Note, when you close the case it will then shut off the note, some cases will even do that when you completely flip the "book" cover.

Hoping this helps :)

Common problem when this device came out. Mine did it to. Installed flexbeam rom by civato and problem went away. Kitkat is coming very soon and should fix the problem unless you want to root and install flexbeam.
