i tested this and all seem to be ok, except the Wacom test. has anyone tried it? i'm not sure what i have to do, but whatever i scribble with my S-pen, it would show up FAIL.

hi all. my note 8.0 is having this strange problem after upgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2...

intermittently, the screen when in portrait mode, it will automatically sleep.
after sleep. when i press wake it back up. partial of the screen does not respond to my finger.
for example, the top 5 cm of the screen can respond to my finger, then from there onwards until bottom. does not respond to my finger. but, it respond to my S-Pen.

Any sifu can help out?

Normal issues faced during update. Refer to previous page, there is a kernel to fix it. I just installed it. Will give it a try and update soon.

Upgrade done, as expected the S-PEN accuracy is off by few mm below the S-SPEN. Too bad in 4.2.2, can only be fixed in the kernel (not an app). For CivZ kernel users, if you need TriangleAway 2.90, click on the link in my signature.

What is the triangle away for? Installed the civz fix and rom, seems fine. Screen gone haywire again. Last issue fixed due to some loose cable supposingly, this time I have no idea.

Maybe something else is wrong with your Note 8, not the screen since you replaced it already... could be some faulty shielding etc on the board/battery? Anyway should send it in for checking.

Triangle Away 2.90 is the only version of Triangle Away that works on this kernel. You can reset the flash count to 0. Normally not so important as normally you will reflash back to stock firmware before sending in for warranty but in the event of something like 'sudden death' (unable to boot but maybe can still go into download mode - showing anything other than 0, may cause your device to be rejected for warranty claim.)

any1 want sell Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 second hand? pm me

is there anyway to use the mentioned apps to fix the kernel without Rooting the device?

you need custom recovery to flash the custom kernel. it does not required root.

Very true, but so weird that you would install a custom kernel without root

hahaha... yeah.

You mean the problems with S-PEN? You can just stick to 4.1.2 Stock ROM first until a new firmware release fixes the problem...

S-Pen alignment got problem but that is not the biggest problem.

i updated to Stock 4.2.2 ROM. then my screen does not recognize my finger intermittently. but it recognize my S-Pen. sigh

Did you use any magnetic casing. .?
If you know how to flash stock rom...try flashing that 4.2.2 official M'sia stock firmware again.
If still problem..send it to service centre.

i using normal case.
the problem appears after running samsung software update to upgrade to 4.2.2.

btw, i check tigerproc guide on fixing the issue but got no idea how it works.

is there any simpler guide?

does flashing the stock rom will void the warranty and does it need bootloader unlock or additional rooting process?

Malaysia Note 8 does not need any bootloader unlock (like HTC); rooting is not required to flash Stock ROM if using PC ODIN.

NOTE: Just to be clear, are you referring to the water ripple effect on the 4.2.2 lock screen, the ripple effect does not happen on the default clock widget (only the areas other than it); that was really surprising to me at first

For a guide, refer to (Note 8 is the same)
How to restore stock firmware for Note 2

As waveweaver mentioned, you can try reflash 4.2.2 again or downgrade to 4.1.2
Note 8 Malaysia Firmware

Don't worry about the TriangleAway stuff if you have not rooted or flashed anything else other than Stock Firmware/OTA updates.

thanks for the tips sifu.

actually, is not the water ripple. is the screen does not recognize my finger when i touch it. it is like totally no respond at all.

Guess what the solution offered by samsung?

They reformatted my tablet back to 4.1.2 and told me to remain stock first. Due to the lines issue faced on the screen. Previously I rooted it and use cwm, on civz rom. Oh well, looks like gotta stay stock.

Odd thing is the staff said they can void the warranty cause they found my tab has been rooted 5 times, but I told them, if I can root it, I can just return it back to root 0 when sending too

the tech usually never bother me with root or not... i kind of send it as is... the android need root for higher function.
