Hey everybody...
I just got a new note & everything is excellent except that I've been noticing some weird flickering in the screen... Its not even flickering, its more like it goes dark for milliseconds & its not that frequent. Should i be conserned or its a software issue... does anyone have such an issue?

Have you got auto brightness enabled? If so try manually setting the brightness, also check your screen timeout in setting /display set it to a 1min not 15secs

Auto brightness is off. The same issue is happenning with my galaxy s3.

Go into Developer Options in Settings and set animations to .5x.

Take it back. It may be a defect.

I dont think it is. Because on the home screen & some apps like youtube the issue is nonexistent, Strange

I have not seen this issue yet. Had mine since launch.

After some testing I found out that the screen issue is related to some apps only such as chrome & xda's app. Most other apps work just fine such as s note, photoshop, youtube, all games & the home screen shows no flickeri g whatsoever.

I have seen this, I was worried but it is very difficult to return my unit as it is a grey import.
I totally didn't notice that it went away after changing screen timeout to 1 minute. Battery life is good enough to easily cope with this.
Setting back to 15 seconds to see if it re-occurs.
fyi, I leave brightness auto.

I can confirm that the problem is solved. The whole issue is that some apps are conflicting with the hover function for the s pen. Once you disable that function in settings all becomes completly normal without any issues.

I have the similar issue on my Note 10.1 - the browser is the biggest 'flasher' and it seems random. I called Samsung support - They had me reset to factory and the issue went away, but eventually came back. I don't want to have to keep resetting to factory as that is painful for me to reconfig everything and I tend to believe that if I restore to ClockWorkMod backup, the issue will still be there.
Hi.
l had the same problem earlier. Simply deactivate the hovering S - Pen icon, and voila!

Hey everyone I am having an issue that at random times of the day my clock will be an hour ahead of the real time.
I am in the same time zone constantly throughout the day FYI.
Here is what I have tried so far:
Factory reset
Changing the time on my router to the right time zone.
Airplane mode or reboot is the only thing that works momentarily.
I am on sprint.
Thanks
Think McFly, think!

Thanks for the effort , but I have it set to use network provided time. I guess I can just switch it to manual but I never have had to do that in the past.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
You're phone is a time machine!
uncheck
Unchecked the network thing then select your time zone. Worked for me

That's what I ended up doing but it's just weird I have never had to do it on any other phone.

For what it's worth I have had to do this before in another phone so you aren't alone.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I have never been able to set automatic time and date settings. They have always been wrong for me. No harm has been done over the years from having them set manually.
Everytime i connect my headset all notification sounds (email, sms, calls and other app notifications) are going through the speaker and headset isnt that when you connect the headset it shouldnt play on the speaker?
I came from iPhone 5 and this is what i am used to when headset is connect all sounds should only be in the connected device not on the phone speakers. I know you can install 3rd party apps but are there any normal or should i say a OOB solution for this?

i actually encounter this problem today. if anyone knows how to get notification sounds through headphone plzzz let us know
Same problem for me also. Didnt have this problem with my s3

I dont have this problem. Using stock firmware MJ1
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
I had this problem, too. The problem was that the Headset connection got deactivated immediately after a call was made (saw the Headset button going from green to grey when the call screen appeared). Pressing the Headset button again to reactivate it worked. Had to do that a few times. Now the problem is gone, the connection stays activated. I did reboot/cache wiped my phone at some point, but since I don't have the problem anymore, I can't reproduce what I did to check what did the trick. I'd start with reactivating the connection when it gets lost and than reboot.

they said its a phone feature, but if it is then Samsung suck bigtime.
there are some work around but its just a band aid solution i guess.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk 2
Well, what's the workaround then?
Apart from putting the phone on vibrate or silent.
Because it is bloody annoying, I spend 7 hours a day in a silent coupe on the train and the other 12 hours of my day in places where I can NOT afford to have my phone start beeping and make a bloody racket!
My earphones are IN MY EARS. How the bloody hell am I supposed to hear the notification if it goes off outside a bloody noise-cancellation soundbarrier?!
Absolute morons, the baffoons who designed that 'feature'. If your 'feature' looks like a bug, you did it wrong.

You can use Tasker to detect notifications and then send a message through the media stream.
When I have my headphones on and get a text Tasker will tell me about it while I am listening to music. You can get the name of the sender and/or speak the body of the text.

I guess we need to let Samsung know about this . Its very annoying whats the point of using headsets when the notifications are still being played on the phone speaker???

I have this "feature" on my NX5. What it does is it locks itself when I set on the table. Sometimes it works.... sometimes it doesn't.
I'm using the Stock Kernel and Stock ROM with gravity box. I looked at it and noticed that feature is not included inside gravity box.
So I wanna know if anyone has this rather buggy "feature" on their phone. If I try to unlock it it'll lock itself again... And if I try again it'll lock itself yet again. Eventually it stops though. Only works when on a flat surface too
I have a video if anyone wants it see it. It's really weird. Anyone got this at all?

What is VERY weird is it knows how high above the surface it is.
If I hold straight above a few cm above the tbale it turns itself off. Few cm up and boom it's on.

Dude it's a crazy ass feature. It works on CERTAIN surfaces and ONLY corners.

It's extremely weird. It works on one corner of my computer and on the other corner it doesn't. You'll see in the video.

I think you are having the sensor being tripped that activates the sleep feature. If you hold a magnet above the screen very close to the volume button and slightly higher, it shuts the screen off. It is a feature to make cases power off the screen when the case closes. Try it with a magnet, you'll see what I mean. I'm willing to bet there is something magnetic in your table triggering this sensor.
@BCSC sounds like a logical answer.
Tested your answer and yup 100% correct.

Yes, this was my reasoning behind asking about whether it was only on certain tables. I was wondering if the table had some kind of magnetic charge or something

Naw man you know the Samsung flip covers that have a magnet that turn on the screen when the flip cover is opened? The nexus 5 has one of those magnetic sensors so something in that computer is emitting a magnetic field enough to simulate the flip cover closing when it goes closer to that corner and turns on when farther (flip cover opening)

117 views and no one else has experienced this. I've come to the conclusion that it has something to do with lte, but can't figure out how to disable. I can't be the only one.

Not sure, I've had two S5's now and neither did this.
It's possible some random setting that carried over for most of us etc.
I know the first S5 when it restored my old phone settings the screen timeout was set for 45 seconds for example, well that's not a valid option so it made the menu look funky lol. The second one it didn't do that as I had changed to 30 seconds before exchanging again.
I imagine something similar, some setting carried over to disable the sound and we just dunno which/where.
I did a lot of traveling yesterday and bounced on and off 3G and 4G and no data many times, no sounds.
Maybe it's the roaming guards too glitching? I do disable those too.
Thought I disabled the roaming guard but will check again. It wouldn't bother me as much if it wasn't so damn loud.

I feel like an idiot. It was signal check pro. It never did it on my g2 or my tablet, but for some reason it was on by default on my s5.
