[Q] Circles where I touch screen - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all. This is very odd. Whenever my finger approaches my screen, I see a circle on my screen. I know you can enable this sort of behavior (not exactly but similar) in Developer Options, however I do not have that box ticked. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is happening. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I think you'll find you have glove mode turned on in display options.

[Q] PDF jumps pages.

Hi guys, i have an Asus TF300T.
I tried many PDF readers and i have a problem with all of them.
Without touching my screen, it jumps pages on its own. Any suggestions, on what the problem is, would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Enable the "Show touches" in developers settings and see if it is registering touches that don't exist while the PDF app is open.

Okay,i get your point. What if, it shows touches that are not made by me? What would the problem be?
I don't have it here at the moment, since a friend is experiencing the problem.

If that is the case, then it is a problem with the hardware (the actual screen/digitizer). If not, then it is a software problem.

Yeah, that was my thinking too. HW problem.
If it's a software problem, then a reset would do the job and it will callibrate itself.
Will do it, when i meet him.
Thanks for you answers.

[Q] Need help with Galaxy S6 display brightness issue

Didn't have any luck getting good response on my other thread. Posting it here.
Anyway, my S6 keeps randomly changing brightness even though auto brightness is off. And so I found this option via search within settings, which may very well be exactly what I was looking for but couldn't seem find it in the settings menu in developer option(which has already been enabled) . Any help would be greatly appreciated*

Someone mentioned this having to do with the Samsung car mode app. Do you have that enabled?

Car mode was an app that users were downloading and was found to be causing the auto-brightness to switch itself off..... Don't think that's what we have here.
I don't have an answer to your problem though I'm afraid.

Weird display/software kind of glitch

http://imgur.com/Pxg5SQF.jpeg
Strange issue here guys, anyone know what's going on ?, I don't have the phone on me at the moment due to it being a friend's phone but it seemed to be like a calibration kind of thing because it seemed to trace whenever you swiped and etc. (Those things on the screen that look like scratches are the "trace" marks).
It's not a glitch To diable it go to: Settings>Developer options and disable this on the Screenshot.

Nexus 5 rings but no way to answer.

Hello,
I have a Nexus 5 with Marshmallow.
I don't know what I did but now when I get a call, the lock screen opens but no way of answering the call.
Before a green screen would show up with a button on bottom to swipe up to answer. This screen no longer comes up.
Could someone point me in the direction to fixing this?
Thanks

You could enable "Volume up for answering", most devices have this ability. As for the issue I have no idea, But try what I mentioned as a temporary solution.
Thank you for your reply.
I would like to try "Volume up for answering" but don't recall the location of this setting. I have now looked for it and cannot find it.
Could you please point me in the right direction for finding that setting in Marshmallow?

That setting is typically found within phone settings if the device has it, Open the phone app and go to its settings and it should hopefully be there as well.
I couldn't find any setting on the phone app I am using (True Phone) so I looked for the stock Google app and had trouble finding it. I wasn't using it so disabled it a few days ago. I looked on Play Store and found it but wanted to update it. I did that.
From that moment the answer screen returned. Now back to where I was.
Great work for making me look for those settings.
Thank you very much. All done.

Question Does the screen-off unlock fingerprint icon always stays on?

Recently, I've experienced the fingerprint icon always turning on when screen off. It should be turn off after some time until I raise my phone. It happen last night and I just realise it. I really don't know how is this happen. Even after formatting my phone, it still does that. Can someone confirm this again with your fingerprint setting and let me know the interaction when you choose "screen-off unlock" to "Show fingerprint icon". Thank you in advance.
there is an option to let it stay in locked screen, i had it too and turned it somehow off.
cant tell you where exactly because im new to realme and need to SEARCH every function by myself..

yes I know they have that function to turn it off. But when choosing to turn it on, it should be gone from the screen until making the device detects movement like picking up the phone.
