Does anyone have the same issue as me? Every few minutes, the navigation buttons slightly move to a different position on the screen, which makes them off-center with the rest of the screen. This usually happens after locking and unlocking the phone. I have tried to restart the phone into the safe mode but the issue is still present there. I have even contacted Sony support.
My oled TV does this to prevent burn in. Maybe check the display settings to see if it is such a feature?
Not sure, I cant find anything like that in display settings. I have also tried to change the minimum screen dpi in the developer settings and it fixed it right after the change, but as soon as I lock and unlock the phone, the buttons are off-center again.
This is a feature. It moves them over time to avoid burn in.
Ok thanks. But if this is a feature, it's pretty annoying, as it's very visible at times. Why aren't the buttons rather changing their size a bit instead? It would be less noticeable then moving them from side to side.
Nevermind, I have disabled the dock and I can't notice it anymore ?

Sorry if this has been covered already; I searched but didn't find anything, but then I may not know the right terms.
My question is: is there a hack or app to adjust when the hard buttons illuminate? I always forget they're there, and when I do remember I still have to look at the buttons. What I'd really like is to make them light up whenever the dial pad comes up or maybe even when the screen is fully illuminated (not staying on when the screen goes a little dim when you don't touch it for a while). I'd also like to be able to change the hardware Windows button to go back to the Sense home screen, rather than the Start menu.
i use KeypadLedControl, it enables the hardware buttons to light up whenever the screen is on
Excellent, thank you!
i been having problems with screen meaning everytime i am out during the daytime i can not see my screen what so ever. i was wondering if there is anyway to fix that? is there any apps i can download?
I installed a Widget called Brightness Level (free!) and assigned it to a Jump Key (Jump-X is what i used)
When it is pressed as a widget from a home screen, a pop-up appears with 0%, 25% 50%, 75%,. 100%, & Auto along with a slider-bar to set the screen brioghtness percentage.
Pressing the Jump key brings up the same app. the widget also shows the current setting percentage.
...using the Jump screen allows you to easily access the app even when the screen is completely dark.

any screen will do this in sunlight, turn your brightness to max by swiping your finger from left to right on the status bar and there are also anti glare screen protectors that cedll phone shops sell that may help
I have heard of that tip, but it only seems to work about 1/4 of the time (unless I am really bad at the whole swiping thing) that is why I set up the keyboard shortcut instead which works 98% of the time (assmuing the active program isn't stuck/frozen)

Swiping only works if "Auto" is off, you can also just long touch a spot on the notification bar ;-) ex, left, middle, right or anywhere in between. this seems to work better than swiping for me.
Hope this helps.
you can also just got to settings>display>brightness, uncheck automatic, and adjust brightness that way. you can also assign a jump key shortcut to settings>display, as i just did. that pretty much eliminates the need for a widget.
Hi, I'm having a very weird problem on my phone. For some reason, all touches within Material apps seem to "register" twice and display the touch animation twice. This makes every button press in the app appear to flicker as the touch animation occurs twice quickly. If you press and hold a button, you can see better what is happening - the initial touch is displayed around the button, and then a second touch animation slowly emanates from the center. This makes all Material apps look and behave awful, with the animation flickering around everywhere. The strange thing is, it's only in Material apps and the notification/quick settings panel. Older apps and the nav buttons don't exhibit the behavior.
I've attached a quick screen recording so you can see the problem. I press some buttons normally and then press and hold so you can see what's going on. I don't know when this started but I don't believe it was like this when I first got Lollipop. Any suggestions?
Did you change anything is Settings/Developer options?
I have just a simple question to other users of this (otherwise nice) phone: I have the screen lock set up the standard way (no pin or anything), I also use the display doube-tap wake-up gesture (I found it quite useful for the phone with symmetrical front side). What happens is, that if I have my phone in the pocket, display facing the leg, the phone sometimes wakes up itself, runs some application or make a phone call to somebody from my quick dial list. If I position it facing outside of the pocket (which is quite insecure for the glass), it does not happen. The weird thing is, that if I switch off the double-tap feature, it does not solve the problem... The phone is with stock ROM 5.0.2-01003, no root (unfortunately). Does this happen also to anybody else, or just me?
P.S.: I wonder, why there's no such simple feature like "solid phone display lock" when the proximity sensor is covered... Possibly, somebody will implement it in a custom ROM (I hope ).
I don't have an elegant solution for you, but I'll pipe in that this has happened to me several times. I have a suspicion that the power button is being hit in the pocket- a problem which is not unique to this device.
I'm using Nova launcher with double-tap set to (PIN) lock the device, and this pretty much solves the problem, but does add extra hassle if you don't care about the security.
same happens to me on my 5.5 but i have gesture lock, so th ephone only start dialing in emergency dialer...only one solution is to insert the phone to the pocket with back cover facing the leg.
I use pattern lock but I was facing the same issues as the others (emergency dialing and camera activation). I've tried several apps from playstore and the best results are with Pocket Screen Lock (com.goldenpie.psl). The screen cannot be activated with the double tap nor with the power button when the proximity sensor is covered.
One other thing you are overlooking is to position the phone upside down in your pocket. Understandable not to have the glass facing outward, but you can put the phone in 'up-side down' and turn on reversible screen . That should prevent the power button from being inadvertently triggered in my experience.
I've had the same issue, but only with this one pair of jeans, so it probably depends on the cloth.
FYI, if you're rooted, the Gravitybox module for Xposed has a setting under Power Tweaks called "Proximity wake-up" which does exactly what you want in terms of preventing wake ups when the proximity sensor is covered. I've only just turned it on, but so far it seems to be working well.
Actually it seems that this has been fixed in the latest update for 6039. The display cannot be unlocked by the gesture anymore if the sensor is covered. All other apps have conflict with this (at least for me). Which in turn requires the power button to be explicitly pressed in order the display to be activated. Even if it's not in my pocket anymore.

Right you are on both counts. I'll test further before posting next time. Thanks for the correction.
Hello. So i made the switch to the S10e and i've been running into this issue where if i accidentally hold my phone with my finger just touching the selfie camera (or any part of the status/notification bar at the top of the screen), any and all other touch inputs just get disabled.
Any solutions to this? I assume Android thinks i'm going to pull it down and disables every other touch or something, but is there an option not to do that but still keep the draggable status bar? This also happens in all apps and the home screen/apps etc. no matter the screen.
Activating Show Taps in developer shows that the OS DOES see both my taps, the status bar and anything else, just that the software-side blocks other inputs once that initial status bar touch is seen and still active. It does NOT happen with the back/home/apps bar or generally anywhere else. I have tried making sure Nova launcher isn't doing anything. Tried Accidental touch protection On and Off and a host of other settings. Confirmed this is a status bar issue with hiding it in Samsung Internet and repeating the test.
Tried EdgeTouch with NiceLock but it only really helps for the sides which aren't really my issue.
Rarely this sometimes happens with stuff on screen too in the OS itself and in apps. Usually it's with triggering a function like holding the phone with touching the left hand of the screen and accidentally 'dragging' a menu' into view a few pixels, and then that disables all other input until it's gone. But that's fine since it's very rare. It's more more often than the status/notification bar is my main issue.

Do you use a case? That's what help'd me with accidental screen touches. An "ultra slim" case was all it took for me. Hope you find what works for you.
I am really against cases, as i really want a compact fone, and there are extremely few which get launched with AMOLED nowdays. I'd rather solve this via software.
