Hello Everyone !
Im having a pretty weird problem over here ...
I use a Note 4 stock and since a while whenever my phone is closed... Im not getting any notifications on screen or with the blinking light
If i just open it in the lock screen im getting my facebook/snapchat pops on screen + blinking light
I checked every options possible in the phone and checked everything possible... I really dont know what to do anymore except to format the phone... which i'd prefer not to do
Can anyone help me out ? Thx so much

TOUCH HD PHONE
Firstly let me say this:...... I have a phone that has had to go back once because of a weird problem - so it might be "one of those phones " (the prob WAS fixed by a new board from HTC but thats another story !)
Here's the prob. Today when I was typing a text the back light kept adjusting up and down. This has NOT happened before So I did some tests:
1) Its to do with the autoadjust feature (not a prob when its OFF)
2) All is OK UNTIL you start to type this is how I spotted it typing a text. The backlight was going up and down - I thought my eyes were going!!!
ATTEMPTED RESOLUTION:
Fristly I did a soft reset......(prob still the same)
I down loaded LUMOS, which shows actual numbers for the light sensor,
Here's what I found......
It moves up and down a bit then settles, in a dark area its on say 3 or 0 but when I type on the screen it goes up and down like a yoyo ! ie 3,79,120,3,0 if I stop typing it settles on 3 or 0. AND THAT IN A NUT SHELL IS I "THINK" THE PROB !
"The light sensor seems to be affected by typing."
I never noticed this before so this may be a fault.
LUMOS seems to cope slightly better than win software with this and I can get around this by turning the sensor off, but if its faulty BACK it GOES....(AGAIN)
The last prob did my head in. I love this phone but I'm not sure if I got a touchy one !(pardon the pun)!
ANY HELP/THOUGHTS VERY GRATEFULLY ACCEPTED
Update - CAUSE
I have found out the cause !
It happens when screen taps (sound) is turned on and is FINEwhen it is off. I only tuned this on last week !
SO what they heck this is some software bug perhaps - any thoughts ?
Thanks so much !
Hi Simon,
Ive never noticed that, because i dont have the soft keyboard sounds on, too annoying and i never have the auto adjust on either, i like it bright all the time..... you didnt say, but are u on stock rom?
I am very annoyed and hoping someone here can help . My infuse 4g every time i take a call and the phone dims while on call It will not come un-dimmed. i press power and nothing call is still active but i can't do anything even after they hang up sometimes. so i updated my infused v1 to v2 and still same thing ?? any help or any suggestions is appreciated ! thanks in advanced !
Are you running overclock or undervolt? Did you theme anything? How did you restore apps?
infused infuse helping other infused infuses?
i didn't do a restore of apps ? I just signed in to my google account . had to reinstall them . and i am not overclocking . like i said it did the same thing on v1 ???
Themes?

Are you you using any themes? If not does it do that on stock.
i am not using any themes . i put infused on as soon as i got the phone so im not sure if it did it on stock but it just started doing it . wasn't doing it for months now all of a sudden ???
If it does it on stock maybe get a new phone could be a sensor issue! Are you doing a full wipe when you flas Roms?
stupid question
are you doing this with the phone next to your face?
maybe you have a finger near the top of the screen?
the phone has a proxemity sensor and will nit power on the screen with objects in the vacinity. it is near the att logo at the top of the screen. this is to prevent your cheek from randomly interacting with the phone.
Personally I had go launcher running and it made my calls not go through. I did the gtg back to stock then flashed again and all was fine.

yeah idk , i do a full wipe and regardless if i hit the sensor it doesn't come back on . i have to force shut down to get it to work again . it just stays on but not lit up for me to do anything. thanks

Did it start after you moved to Infused v2? Or was it an existing problem before then?
There's some undocumented setting in the prox sensor driver that is different between the Rogers kernels for Gingerbread and Froyo kernels. (Undocument as in I see that it's different but have no clue what it does.) If you find a definitive difference between v1 and v2 in terms of prox sensor performance, I can whip up a test kernel for you.
it did it with v1 and as soon as i put on v2 i attemoted a call and it did it right away again . so idk
So I believe I figured it out . in display settings i UN-checked power save mode . and that stopped it ! So i checked it again to test and it did it again , so I believe I found the problem ! Nice ! Thanks for everyone's help ! I hope by me figuring out the wrong setting that was checked can later help someone else ! You all Rock !
One last thing . I have to use adw launcher or it still does it even with power save uncheck on stock launcher . Hmmm dunno why but adw launcher with power save unchecked works
Update issued solved
ok so i thought what i did fixxed the problem BUT it did not ! So i found a app in market called ( Call light ) that turns off the auto dim on calls . This app was created for people having the issue . i went into the apps settings and checked do not dim on call . and now it is fixxed ! I can now manually dim with button and it comes back on . hope that helps someone !

I wish I could figure out the root cause for why the prox sensor fails for some people...
It's hard to debug a problem you can't reproduce!

Just wondering, but do you have a screen protector on your phone? One that covers the brightness sensors on the top?
On my old iPhone 3GS I had the same problem, I found out it was because my screen protector was interfering with the brightness sensor on the top causing it to think that the phone was still next to my ear.
Not sure if that is your problem, but its worth a shot.
Phone lockup during call
I had this same problem.....started as soon as I left the store.
After researching this across LOTS of these posts, I found a common theme in the prox sensor.
My Ballistic case was the cause of the problem, I carefully cut the plastic shield (clear) that was over the prox sensor and now everything is working GREAT!!!!
I would look at your screen protectors and perform a little surgery....
fixxed
Yes , it was in fact my screen protector . i ordered a new one and it never did it again . thanks for your reply
I've a problem with my Note Edge SM-N915S (Exynos device).
/i've never seen this issue before, just first time happened today:
First, I'm running few apps like FB, Messenger, Chrome... and I turn my screen off for taking a little rest before an important call of my boss.
It's about 15 minutes later, I got an incoming call of boss: the phone's ringing loud, but the screen still stays dark except there's an ELECTRIC-HORIZONTAL-LINE ... yeah I mean it's looks like a thin line of the CRT SCREEN OFF ANIMATION - but I'm currently at stock ROM, with no custom screen off effect.
it looks like the picture here (can't post image because of new user restriction please paste this link into your web browser manually to view them and help me )

I cannot turn it on with touching on screen or anything except press the Power button twice. Accidental wake up is Off. I've no problem when using this phone before and after this time, phone still work normally... there's no any problem with the screen, the touch, and even the proximity sensor...
But i'm afraid if is there any hardware problem with my phone or my screen which is making phone unusable. Appreciate help, please. Thanks.
Hey guys,
since upgrading to an Android Nougat custom firmware for my Nexus 5 (PureNexus) the behavior of notification lights changed (previously Android 6).
If I get a new message while the display is locked the lights start blinking. Now if I look onto the preview of the message, even extend it, and turn the display back off the lights start blinking again. (Happens on all apps, whatsapp, mails etc.) Pretty sure the lights didn't blink on Android 6.
Is this normal for Android 7 or is this a behaviour of my CFW? (The guys in the thread of the FW didn't answer and don't know anybody with an Android 7 phone).
Would anybody know a solution, didn't find anything in the settings.
Thanks.
Bump.
Bump.
So I bought my used S7 recently, the device seems to be totally clean not even a scratch on the frame, looks like brand new and even the software status is OFFICIAL not even the Knox is tripped.
I found a thread on XDA about using an updated version of TouchWiz Home of the S8 for the S7 by installing the APK.
it worked like a charm until I started to change my wallpapers and notice something strange.
im using an application to change the wallpapers auto every 5 minutes, the problem is whenever the wallpaper i use has some bright colors like bright purple or bright red and i press the app button to access the app drawer those colors (ONLY) flicker , they flicker just before the screen get blurred and take u to the app drawer, and also when u go back to the main screen from the app drawer also right after the blur disappear.
i got scared so i uninstalled that Touchwiz Update and came back to stock, to notice that the problem is still there, but its not as noticeable as the s8 TW
i wanted to know if the screen is dying or this is something normal, and also wanted to know if its a software related problem or hardware one, and finally if someone is having the same issue ( i can share a wallpaper if anyone is willing to try wit it )
NB: the screen flicker ONLY ON THE BRIGHT COLOR before the blur effect happens and After it.
Thank you all in advance & i apologize for my English
I made this video If you focus on the second time especially ( when going to the home screen from the app drawer ) you can see clearly the red rose flicker. Sometimes the flickering is harder depending on how bright is the color.

This can only be a software problem, because its also visible in the Video. Your screen is not damaged, and it will not be damaged. This issue is not a problem, maybe only a bit annoying.

It is so annoying for me cuz i had an old S5 plus that ended up with the screen flickering so whenever i see it flickering i got a heart attack.
Is there anyway to fix it i tried factory reset but nothing changed..
Thank you anyway for replying
I think thats a Problem with the Launcher. I've tried it on my Phone, and it is also flickering. You can try to speed up the Animation-Speed in the Developer-Settings. Maybe then you wont see the flickering.
You can see it here, that it is also on my phone: https://photos.app.goo.gl/nYKM5ss9EKe3L0M43

Thank you very much !!!! You have no idea how much its relieving to know that this problem is not only present in my device.
For now ill just stay away from bright wallpapers until hopefully Samsung will make fix for this issue.
Thank you again !
EDIT : after i came to the pc and i saw the GIF u made i noticed that we dont have the same flickering , maybe the quality of the GIF wasnt high enough but for me it didnt seem to be te same, so i will ask you one last time when you tried that wallpaper did it show the SAME result as my video for u ?
thank you in advance
