I wouldn't want to worry about inconsistent touches with the sides of my fingers and palm...
It's a cool concept. Personally, if it's not a Nexus I won't be purchasing it.
Not a fan at all. Looks weird to me. Maybe it's just cause I'm so used to a bezel?
I'd hit it.

This also.
1. It is ugly
2. Interested to see how a case can be put on it.
3. If it ever fell on any corner that screen would be finished.
Why is a dead person holding it?
That should have been the Zoolander phone.
Can we have this on desktop LCDs instead? Three of them would make for a killer Eyefinity / NV Surround gaming setup.
I dunno 'bout bezel-free but I reckon itd look awesome with a very thin bezel....
This would be awesome. I can see this happening easy. The HD TV's Sammy and LG have basically no bazel at all.

That's horribly unattractive, and looks really 'shopped to me. Oh, wait, it is... " For instance, if you take a look at our mock-up above...". Not that it matters, it's still ugly. I think producing a "round" screen with no bezel might be kind of cool. I look at the Gnex and think how sweet it would be if the screen matched the contours of the top and bottom of the phone. Some times I look at the screen and think square peg, round hole.
Hi, I've had my galaxy note 2 for about a month now and I absolutely love it. I love the fact where I can pull out the S-Pen and take a note. The problem I'm facing is that on the left side of the screen towords the bottom it seems to be off when I write. Wherever I write in that section it seems to write it to the right of where my pen is touching the screen. Take a look at the attached picture.
Now I've google searched if there is a method to calibrate the S Pen. But the only thing I seem to find is a method that works with the original Galaxy Note 1. And I have also come across an app called TouchscreenTune that helps you calibrate the S-Pen. But as far as I know this app calibrates the S Pen for the entire screen. For example if I calibrate the S Pen with this application and make it so it writes to the left instead of how it's off by going to the right it will do that for the entire screen. I'm only having this issue at that 1 section of the screen. Can anybody help me out please?

Same issue
I don't have any solutions, but I can confirm that I'm having the same issue. It happens in a few places, but all of them are towards the edge fo the screen. I noticed it trying to make a line with a straight edge in sketchbook mobile, which this makes it impossible to do. Similarly, I've searched and can't find any suggestions on calibration. I'll take it to a sprint store in a few days.
I will be interested in hearing what they say. Im having the same problem.

I have the same problem, it's happen on the right left of the screen
I am having the exact same issue. It is really hard to write in the bottom left area.

Thanks for the comment. Just to make sure, when you write a bunch in that bottom left area, there's no interuptions in the inking or it's hard to write because the cursor doesn't stay centered?
I'm trying to figure out if this is something all of them have that's just too minor for most people to notice or there's just a few bad apples. I'll be at verizon tomorrow testing out some other note 2s and see if I see a pattern. If not, I'll just return.

Glad yours works. That code doesn't work for me. I'm on a verizon phone which means they probably jacked that up too along with everything else.
Interesting development today.
Exchanged my phone to verizon. Was really excited the new one was working so well. Went home and it started to do it again. Got real up set and then light bulb popped up. There's a magnet on the back of my seidio kickstand case. Took the case off and now it works fine. Which means the other one probably worked fine as well. Annoyed that I spent $50 on this stupid case.
Those with issues should check this post:

Yeah, you should never use any kind of case with magnets with a phone with a Wacom digitizer.
It's really a shame, otherwise I would've bought the KLD Ultra Slim PU Leather Flip Cover Case already.
Hi, sorry for the late response. But i went to Best Buy and tried another S-Pen and with the S-Pen it does the same thing. It weird, When i right the actual ink is not under where my pen is, its more to the right of it. Even if i hover the S-Pen over the screen the little circle thing is also off to the right abit. I tried to use that TouchScreen Tune app, but when i apply the changes in it, it says Failed< Unsupported ROM or FW. I use the S-Pen alot, and it sucks because of this inconvenience.
Oh and i can confirm that the App posted in that Link "Reset S-Pen" Does NOT work to fix this issue. I wish it was just the S-Pen that was defective. I have no problem going to Best Buy and buying a new one for $40.
My s pen accuracy improved when I did what another forum suggested. Go into pen settings, and switch it to left handed, and then back to right handed. That resets the calibration.

Hi, I tried multiple times to do that but each time it results the same. It makes no difference. Maybe I just got a bad Wacom digitizer.

Do yoi have it in a case? I did and found that there was a magnet closure (which screws up the digitizer).

Hi, i am using the original Samsung Flip Cover Case. It has no magnets. And i dont think this should be happening. I would expect this kind of defects from a cheap $100-$300 phone. Not from the best smartphone in the world that retails for over $700!
so after seeing the sveiw cover for the s4 i thought that would be cool for the galaxy nexus cause id use it cause i wanted a flip cover but one i canstill see the time and notifications so i took a old picture frame back and yes painters tape (gonna be tweaking it though ) and made this its a first draft of the one with the window the one i made with out the window looks really nice tho. so its felt on the inside and blue tape on the out side til i get double sidded tape or at least glue im stuck at home for now so yeah did with what i got lol anyway feedback is welcome if you have an idea let me know thanx

The enticing factor about the s-view cover to me is it turns on the devices screen when the cover is removed and then switches it off when you close it. Without being able to emulate that functionality, the effort just doesn't seem worth it to me.

I know there's the s-pen and the hardware buttons, however, I remember on the 10.1 note original there was a screen capture icon on the dock. Is there a way to get this feature back?.

Is there another way, its a bit hit and miss though more miss really to be practical.
Hold the power button down while also holding the raised home button. It will take a screen shot for you.
Its actually easier than you think! You have to use your whole Handheld edge resting on the screen.
When you get it, it is easier and faster than any other method.

Just becaues of the palm screenshot thing? there are many ways to take screenshots you know. There are even apps for that and the S-Pen or power+home button methods work just fine.

Yes that makes sense, downgrade your tablet where getting a new case would be an easier option. Best you get an ipad for ease of use I think :silly:

I'm just lazy but found out holding the button on the s-pen on the screen does the same thing.
BTW did the 2014 note come with different nibs as well, as mine didn't?.
Thanks guys

There were replacement nibs in the box with mine, but not different.
As for me, I sincerely hope the buttons are capacitive. I've never been a fan of on screen buttons for various reasons, not to mention. If they are on screen buttons, what the heck is the big black strip at the bottom for? It holds the HTC Logo, sure, but if that's the only reason, then make more use of it. Put some freaking buttons there. Lol. I absolutely love my HTC One 2013, and I'm more than likely getting the 2014 model (which i really hope is called the One Up as some rumors suggest), but the on-screen buttons kill me.

i guess you haven't been keeping track of the enormous amount of leaks regarding this device. visit a few phone tech sites like phonearena.com and you'll find all the info you might like to know.

I've read a lot of the leaks, and none have really CONFIRMED on screen. Most do show it though. My big question is why the big black useless bar. It just looks bad if there's no use for it.

On screen isn't a game breaker for me. Just a nitpick. The all metal body and front facing speaker (as well as the Sense UI,which IMO isthe best stock UI) are enough to warrant me wanting one. Plus I have to buy a phone so I can give my wife my old M7
M8 dump has on screen buttons, if that's not enough confirmation :00

meh, on screen keys will be quite nice, and im positive they'll be customize-able once rooted and xposed added in, just look at aosp, can put almost whatever button you want down there.
I actually find on-screen buttons more comfortable. Capacitive buttons on a large device dramatically increases the range of thumb motion required to efficiently operate it one handed. I can't say how many times I've tried to elegantly enable on-screen buttons on my GS3, but each time I was successful it was much less of a reach to hit the menu button.
I am excite for this phone. Seems more and more like a real winner. I don't mind a 2600 mah battery as the GS4 had that same size and was just fine. I was concerned they'd go with 2300-2400, at which point it'd be a deal breaker.

I'm hopeful thatvthey might offer the ability to turn off on screen buttons, with hidden capacitive buttons in the large black bar. That would be ideal--the best of both worlds.

I disagree on the on screen buttons, but it's an opinion, so there's no point in arguing it.I would LOVE to see a 3000 mah battery, but supposedly 2600 is "confirmed." I personally am skeptic about anything being confirmed until HTC themselves says it.

I would LOVE to see this. Or at least some use for that area. As I said earlier, it's not a deal breaker, but the random black bar along with the lack on capacitive buttons won't be appreciated on my end at least. Though I understand one opinion does not change an entire company. Unless I'm the CEO of HTC and I didn't know it.

they put on screen keys as per google's instructions to get on their good side
BUT htc probably kept the digitizer all the way down the black space, soooo.....
htc one 2013 rewind to last may and the logo was turned to a menu button, what do you think is gonna happen this time?
come on people start looking forward, after release most software solvable problems will be dealt with
