Hi all fellow 1020 owners,
When i first bought this phone months ago, i swear i remember seeing a screen rotation option in the settings.
Perhaps after an update, i can no longer find it.
Do any of you have this issue? Or maybe you can confirm that there isn't a Screen Rotation option in your settings.
Thanks!

The screen rotation lock was added as part of GDR3. Didn't exist on the software version that the device shipped with. What are you currently running?

sorry for the late reply.
i cant figure out what I'm running, just that it says lumia amber.
hope when lumia black is available it will be there as an option.
GDR3 is out as a developer preview and then is included in the Black update. I'm on AT&T, so I have the Black update, which is so odd for AT&T to release any update first.

Just wondering if anyone has encoutered a problem with the screen turning itself off. It is not a settings issue but the screen randomly turns itself off in the middle of being used so i am guessing it mght be something to do with the light sensor perhaps?
Well if anyone else has the same problem or can offer some sort of explanation i would be very interested to hear about it.
Thanks in advance
i think this might be related to autolock. if you have that enabled, disable the screen dimming and let it turn off after say 2 minutes. then you should be ok.

I've had a similar issue recently - suddenly the screen started to switch off after 30 seconds without use, no matter what settings I configured in the energy system settings. No explanation, probably a bug in the 6.1 stock ROM. (I'm on another ROM now...)

Ditto.
Own ROM 6.1 (nothing special - really just Google maps and teeter removed)
Apps:
4 Column Start Menu.cab
FdcSoft TaskMgr 3.1.cab
GoogleMaps.CAB
GpsCycleComputer_3.114.CAB
htcAddicts cleanRAM v1.6.cab
MobileTweet.CAB
NETCFv35.cab
NetworkPlugin_1_0_30468_1.CAB
PocketShield.CAB
rar.ppc_arm.cab
SoftReset_Suspend.CAB
same here. tried some reg tweaks but none disabled poweroff after 30 seconds
it happens to me every time after i use igo8,
so my solution is to go to the MANILA power setting (not the default windows setting) and turn DIM off.
cannot find manila power settings. where are they?

i have Tom's 6.5 rom so when i goto regular settings it takes me to manila style setting & not the default one.
I have that problem to ?
I have a 6.1 windows, what can I do to deal with this problem ?
Thankx
in power settings enable & disable dim it will fix this but only till next time... i do it after every time i use igo8.
this is especially annoying when using the topaz as hard disk or navigating via tomtom. hope they will bring out a fix soon.
Think my problem was slightly similar as I was using the original shipped ROM. Well phone is with HTC now in for screen repair so hopefully the problem will be solved.
I'm guessing it was probably down to an install of some 3rd party application. anyway will repost after i get my td2 back tomorrow

Hi, Got my phone back recently with this from HTC.
Problem Description: 1. Touch Panel Function abnormality
Repair Description: 1. Diagnosis
2. Replace SUB ASSY, Bezel w/touch window pre-Assy
3. Function Test
All working ok so far!
Just a securiy patch getting ready for 7.0.1
Only seeing BPI3 with the Verizon Upgrade Assistant Software on my Note 5 on the TotalWireless network. Updating now, maybe BPJ3 will show up once I finish this update.
EDIT:Wow, something is up, I just realized that I participated in the BPI3 update thread, now I'm wondering why it said I needed that update again, could have sworn I was already on it...Will check it out once the "upgrade" it is doing finishes. :?
EDIT2: It actually was BPJ3 that it upgraded to, I have the November 1 security patch now. Seems like the Upgrade Assistant Software is downloading something else now as well. It's about 30% done.
EDIT3: Guess it was a glitch of some sort, it downloaded the BPJ3 software twice, and now says I'm up to date. That was odd. Oh well, bring on 7.x.x!
Anyone has camera problems after the update? My pictures taken after the update in landscape mode are showing in protraits. On google photos they are also displayed in the wrong rotation. So the problem should be the camera not gallery. Really annoying...

Same on my phone, they do not automatically rotate. I took a video in landscape mode and copied it to a PC but it played back in VLC as portrait. The update also changed my brightness settings. I don't check auto anymore because it is always too dark.
We were all waiting for the new update to come but Once more Samsung has manage to destroy some things
One of them is screen auto light adjustment... At least at Exynos version
Before the update you could just adjust the bar wherever you like and then with one off - on to auto switch you have return to full auto light adjustment...
Now this is impossible
With auto on if you move the bar this setting is saved like the ideal auto lighting condition and stays that way...that means that auto lighting is working good but from the base of your previous adjustment and not full stock auto.. If you deactivate and activate again the auto switch nothing happens because of the previous "saved condition"
So that means that you can't go back to full stock auto lighting conditions...
That's to bad and it has to be really fast a new update to fix this issue...

I got the latest update from T-Mobile Friday evening or Saturday morning and don't have that issue, I can go back and forth from auto to manual with no issues whatsoever.

That's actually how it works on stock Android.
I have found another disappointment change... YouTube app... The end of side to side full screen video play...if you choose to cut video for full screen it will only full up and down sides but unfortunately will leave huge black bazels to left and right (landscape view) to this beautiful bazzelless device... This is too disappointed...
UPDATE
After clean installation of YouTube app everything works OK again...
It's strange because before the clean installation I had exactly the same version with the new one with totally different interface (it was the same as my Xperia z4 tablet)
Same issue, also Exynos variant, with auto brightness and YouTube app here in Romania after the same updated. Reinstalling the YouTube app will help but only for a couple of minutes, because after that some kind of update is coming via the app it self and the full screen mode is messed up again.
Regarding Auto brightness: For me, the new behavior is the one I want and expect. I hope, it stays that way.
I have this same problem!
Poland, Exynos.

I have found a solution with YouTube app...if you don't sing in to your acount then you will never have full screen problem again...
I think that has something to do with the same version of YouTube to second devices like tablet... Because when I'm singed with both devices (s8+ & Xperia z4 tablet) I m always having problems with full screen faction... If I say unsigned then it works as it should be.... Strange things....
auto brightness problem
Same problem here too. I'm from Bulgaria, Exynos version. Any solutions ?
Hi all,
Just got this Mi Note 10 today and while setting up the phone I started to get those weird screen touches..
Happened so often that I enabled 'Show Taps' via developer options and recorded it here:

>> Is there anything I can do about this? Not sure if this is a Hardware or Software fault?
Any thoughts welcome!
thanks

Okay, this is weird. Which version is it? And did you have already tried to reset your device? If it's still there it's probably a hardware defect.

Right, so no fix really... disappointing as the cameras are impressive
My device came shipped with Android Pie Based Miui 11, no screen weirdness. Just after the Android 10 updates that ghost touches appear. So I guess it's just software bug.
me too, sure software problem.
Thanks for the feedback, if software-related were you able to roll back to fix this?
Happy to try a workaround as I'm very reluctant to send it back..
worth a try though, but unfortunately Xiaomi didn't provide stock ROM specifically for my region so I left with no choice
Completely puzzled as I did a Factory Reset via Recovery and haven't seen the issue for past 2 days, I've left the screen touch tracing on and no 'ghost touch' was recorded..
so I don't know what to believe anymore, got an open return ticket but would hate to send it back without needing to..
how can I make sure issue is gone?
Hi, i had this problem 3 weeks ago, temporary solved with hard reset, worked perfectly until yesterday night when this problem went back.
Hard reset again, problem still there.
Someone solved it permanently?
It is really weird because, if i turn off/on the display, sometime works sometime not :S
The phone came with Android 9 and I started to face this after updating to Android 10. The issue is not extreme as shown in the video, it just the touch becomes slow to respond and hard to type fast with the keyboard. Turning off the screen and turning back on solves it temporarily sometimes.
I tried disabling on screen fingerprint and the problem seems to be reduced now. Definitely a software bug
I'm using Mi note 10 lite it also has same problem. Sometime touch freezing and after press power button automatically fix. Some time need to restart. And also one person told me he is fixed by this issue by turned off fingerprint sensor.

I have the exact same problem as you, slow to respond and hard to type. Need to apply more force on the screen for it to respond. This happened randomly throughout the day but are more common during night time for me.
I think it has something to do with the screen lock pin or fingerprint, by changing the screen lock from ie pin to pattern or turning off fingerprint print seems to temporary fix the issue. Another solution is to reboot the phone. I'm using Note 10 Lite btw.

I am using the Pro version. Looks like this issue is common for all the phone models in the Note 10 series. Yes, I have noticed that this issue often happens at night.
Try switching off MIUI optimization under Developer Options and restart your device. Then switch it On and restart again. This workaround solved my issue.

This fixed the issue for a few days and it started to reappear again. When the issue appears, if I turn on Game Turbo for any app (eg: WhatsApp) that particular app doesn't have this touch issue. Looks like a software optimization or battery optimization of MIUI is causing this issue

What firmware version are u in?
I'm currently at 11.0.16.0 and fortunately this issue did not yet reappeared after the workaround.
This is definitely a software ISSUE with MIUI.

Will try out the MIUI optimization to see whether issue still arise. I'll see if my game turbo have the same issue as you too.

Edit: Mi optimisation doesn't work for me but the Game Turbo trick do work.
Hey there yes as the title says i am seeing a very tint green dot(stuck pixel maybe) on my screen. But the thing is it's only shows when the fingerprint icon is displayed (AOD/lockscreen) as soon as I unlock the phone its working fine. i checked with app or any dark background it's not there, only shows when fingerprint icon shows up . Could it be a software glitch?

Only way to know is to fully format your phone with Odin since it replaces your entire software.

Thank you for the reply. I don't wanna try flashing it's a new device so
That's weird. The color and appearance looks like the indicator when microphone or camera is on at the upper right corner of the display. Seems to be a software issue. Can you tell us what firmware is installed and is your phone rooted eg ?
It's the latest August patch. No my phone is not rooted. It's only shows when fingerprint is enable or the fingerprint icon is showing. As soon as I unlock the phone it dissappears.
What model is your phone sm-a536 N,B,0,U1... and the firmware version ? You can find these under settings-->phone info-->software info
If there is a connection to the fingerprint scanner or symbol you can try to patch it under: settings-->biometric data security-->more biometric settings-->patch
Further you may deactivate the fingerprint indicator on aod under settings-->biometric data security-->fingerprints-->show symbol when screen is off to see if the green spot disappears on aod
This should help to figure it out.

Model number is SM-A536E/DS
Yes the green dot disappear if i disable the fingerprint sensor.
Greendot always shows when ever fingerprint icon is displayed no matter where AOD/ or in APP
Went to the service centre today for a replacement letter but they wouldn't provide it saying it so tiny and small issue wasted my time there.
Did you patch the fingerprint software ?
Since the green dot only appears when fingerprint icon is showing or sensor is active it must be a software issue. Definitely not a dead or stuck pixel, normally they are dark or white all the time so your display should be good.
You can go to settings--> software-update to check if there is a newer version for you available and provide the installed firmware like already mentioned. If there is no working patch for the fingerprint software and no new update for your device you have to wait for the next firmware update since you already got the newest august security patch.

Yea it's running the lastest biometric patch as well as latest security patch. Yea i have to wait. Went to service centre today they were kinda pathetic so no luck. Wasted 5h there.
