Hi,
I was just in an AT&T store, I was scoping out a new phone. I am keen on the G3, but have a question about the screen. I would try to turn the screen off using the center of the 3 buttons on the back -- it would turn off, then immediately turn back on again. It would do this 4 times our of 5. I was only doing this to try our the knock on feature, or whatever it's called.
Does this sound normal? The phone has those security tag & wires glued to the back of it, maybe they were interfering somehow?
Thanks,
Toby,
No, it's not normal. Was the cables or something.

Sometimes my mt4gslide refuses to turn the screen on (sometimes when a call is coming in). I can tell its responding to touch commands, but simply not turning the screen on. Don't know why. My g2 used to do this also.
Anyway, I've looked everywhere for a way to force reboot. The usual power+volume+stylus didn't work.
Any tips? Really inconvenient having to take off the hardcase and then the back panel and then the battery every time.
Hello every1,
First of all im sry to be starting a new thread about this, but I cant seem to find anything related to it in google or in here, at least with a quick search. My phone is generally treated well enough, and I always keep it in a protector, but tonight it fell off my hands, and I THINK than since then, the "android" settings and return capasitive keys, right under the screen, cannot switch off. This means that if I lock the phone, or even turn it off, the backlight of these buttons does NOT switch off. I have to remove the battery. If I insert it again, and switch the phone back on, they still wont shut down. I now that they CAN be switched off, because I resetted the phone to its factory settings, at least the internal memory, and when it rebooted, the backlight of the keys turned off and back on again.
I am not interested in shipping the phone back to china to make use of its warranty, and im not sure whether letting that backlight on permanently will damage the phone. The screens function and backlighting seems to be OK. What can I do to disable or restore them to good functionality? I never rooted the phone, and I have searched for some apps that can disable those buttons backlight but they require rooting. What would you have me do? I do not mind rooting the phone, or tweaking it in anyway, as long as it remains functional. Thank you for any help!
any1?
I'm not sure if anyone can help here, but I'm new to having an S2, so I have no idea on this stuff yet.
Anyway, so NFC will not turn off. If I go to it and select it to turn off (green dot is there), after 10-15 seconds it will show that it is off, however, when I back out and look at the previous screen, under NFC it says ON. Sure enough, when I select it again, the green dot is back... Obviously not a huge deal, but I will likely never use it, and I'm hoping it being off will help with battery life.
I also noticed you can't turn connections on/off with the Gear manager on a phone. Is there a better app to manage the Gear with? Something that gives more functionality and control?
Please and thanks!
I was told after the last update you can't turn NFC off. My acts just like yours.
Mine is the opposite problem - i can't turn mine on!
It has the same scenario. Turn on NFC, it freezes for 10 seconds, then it is still off
I have the same damn issue and its annoying me.
When i receive a phone call the screen turns off when i put it to my face, but when i move it away the screen never turns back on. I can't hang up the phone i end up having to restart the whole damn thing. Anyone else experienced this?
Yes I have the same issue going on now. I'm trying to see if there's some kind of manual over-ride or if the phone can cycle the screen on and off with just the side button / power button click alone. Would be fantastically helpful.
Mine is not dirty, it is broken, I have tried cleaning it with no avail.
Hi guys,
I recently picked up a U11 as a replacement for my old, ailing Galaxy S5. I've noticed that the backlight for the capacitive buttons NEVER comes on. I've OTA updated to Oreo, I've changed the settings for the buttons to "Always On" and I've even gone ahead and did a factory reset on it. It's stock everything (for now!) and no root.
If it comes down to it, I can just do without... but I'd really rather having it working the way it's supposed to...
So... quick update.
Apparently, my notification light wasn't working either. I actually didn't even know if it had one until I looked it up.
That aside, I finally received my screen protector and case. I turned the phone off to apply the glass protector, turned the phone back on... and suddenly have my notification light and the 'Recent' button backlight working. The 'Back' button is still off. So... loose connection? Now I'm wondering if I give the phone another 'massage' (like when I was working with the protector and getting out bubbles) if the back button will come on, or it will just stop working again...
