Maybe I'm just a little too picky or ocd but I noticed my charge status LED goes from a brightly lit red just before reaching 100%, to an extremely dim (barely visible) green when the battery has been fully charged. When I hit the home or power button to turn the screen on then back off, the green LED is visible and bright. Anyone else notice this?
[UPDATE] Never mind, I'm an idiot... I should've known this, the light sensor dictates the LED brightness level.
I don't know if samsung was just rushing to get these replacement devices out and had to speed through the assembly process but my device looks just that way. The overlay is noticeably off center to the left across the top where the sensor, camera and iris scanner are located. To the left of the home button there is a thin vertical line indentation as if there is a small dent on the shell of the device under the overlay.
Once again, could be I'm just overly critical, but for a device pushing the $900 retail mark I expect more. Venting complete...Still love my Note 7:good:

A couple of times I was shocked to notice that the keyboard leds on my TP weren't shut down with the keyboard slid in. Since there is a slight gap between the keyboard and the screen, in a dark environment, looking at the TP's right edge, white light was clearly visible just 1-1.5 cm's above the stylus (display and the hardware buttons were OFF, so no, no light "bleeding" effect).
After promptly sliding the keyboard out and back in, the lights went out; actually they went out right when I started to move the keyboard, possibly indicating that there might be a loose contact somewhere. Once, I actually waited for the light to go out by itself; it certainly stayed on after the regular "timeout" value...
So, I wonder: if the contact that is supposed to cut the power to the keyboard when you slide it back in sometimes doesn't work, but the device thinks it's locked and doesn't "timeout" the leds anymore, can this be the cause of mysterious battery drains reported so many times on this forum? Sure enough it's quite hard to spot, especially if you're using a case for the phone. It would most certainly explain why battery drain varied on my device rather wildly even though the usage pattern hardly changed from day to day.
I tried reproducing the effect but it's quite hard (I'd say for my device it would kill the lights correctly at least 9 out of 10 times) and I didn't want to stress the sliding mechanism too much...
Anyone notice this?
Just so noone thinks I'm seeing ghosts, today, just after unplugging it from my laptop, eventhough the keyboard hadn't even been opened, I saw the leds were on again. Just to be sure this wasn't a "feature" I waited about 5 minutes and they were still ON. So yes, this is most definitely a bug and a quite serious one at that.
I took a photo with a friends phone camera (sorry for the low quality). The bright, white, dots seen in the pic are the leds from the underlying keyboard (the phone had always been shut, keyboard fully slid in: display and hardware keys were completely off and no, there was no light from the D-pad either).
I can now easily understand how, occasionaly, the battery managed to run out so quickly... Has noone noticed this before? Am I the only one with a potentially defective unit/keyboard contact?
Is there any way to disable the "Breathing" Navigation ring when its charging or the solid light when its done? I keep this phone by my bed at night and really don't enjoy the flashing lights in my room.
Thanks,
Landon.
set it face down while charging.
Not to be rude but thats like taking the switch off the fidge door's light and just closing it. The lights still on you just don't see it. I'm concerned with the lights life if its on 1/3 of the day. Also when I recieve email through the night the phone vibrates and grinds the screen into the wooden night stand. I dunno, seems to me that the charging icon up top would be good enough and the breathing lights unnecessary.
Thanks,
Landon.
the lights life? its an led. leds never burn out. as for the notification, seeing as its part of the hardware and not a setting in windows mobile, youre stuck with it forever. set it on a cloth or something, or set something over it.
Can I set mine to strobe? Its really slow and annoying. I only like fast things.
...and not to be rude but I don't want to wave my fingers in front of it for effect.
ROFLMAO!!!!!
I used to have an extra piece of nice microfiber cloth which I folded and put the phone face down on next to my computer. Something that keeps the phone from scratches and simply to block out the light.

Wow Really? Is your Raphael a special edition made of eggshells? I mean HTC would never have thought someone would have their phone face down on a wooden table when It vibrated. Also, what the heck kind of rough sandpaper nightstand do you have?
If the short 1 second of vibrating scratches up your screen, maybe you should get a Screen Protector (good to have anyway) or perhaps a nice phone case.
So I was thinking today, would there be any way to re-assign the red trackpad light as the notification light? I know it wouldn't make any real difference, but I personally think using the trackpad would look pretty cool compared to the standard tiny green LED.
Red light from trackpad - just like in optical mouse, ONLY for identification
The trackpad is not using a LED but instead a diode. Seeing it glow only means that there's a hardware problem in your phone as the current flowing in your phone not normal. Diodes used as sensor aren't usually made to light up.
Hi team,
So I dropped my new Galaxy S10 this morning and have broken the screen. Only bumped it a little on the corner but now there is a bar of light about 2mm high that runs along the entire bottom of the screen.
Touchscreen works perfectly, but the amount of light coming through is really annoying. Is there a way to turn of a select area of the screen using ADB? I know I can use overscan/density to move everything up a bit, but I want/need to turn off the shining white light
Have Googled/searched the forums heaps for an answer and found nothing so apologies if this has been asked before
so to tell in brief what i did today i took it in the rain running
i cleaned it with sanitiser
here is a picture can anyone tell me if this can break my display in long term is it repairable ffor cheap
and kill my phone its in the right hand corner
What phone and type of display?
Looks like you got water inside.
Power it down immediately.
Pull rear cover and pull the battery, ASAP!!!
Place in a warm, dry room with a fan on it for a few days.
Connect battery, boot and inspect display.
Reassemble if ok, use new OEM seal for rear cover.
No time to dilly-dally Mr. Wick... tic-tok
The screen brightness and color are adjusted automatically to react to ambient light conditions. Usually the change is so gradual it's barely noticeable, but can be fast if the light hitting the screen changes rapidly and substantially. You can choose to disable this behavior, but you should give it a chance first
