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 ???

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
[Q] Samsung G-Note Horizontal Lines Only On Lock Screen With Black & White Wallpaper
Hi,
I am getting horizontal Lines on the lock screen [only] with white and black wallpapers.....
I have tried other wallpapers and the problem doesnt seem to persist with them .... neither does it occur with live wallpapers.
Those same wallpapers look fine in the gallery and even when i set it as the home screen wallpaper, there are no other pertaining issue other then that on my phone.
Is this a software or hardware issue....
And is there any way around this problem to solve it ... or do i have to taken my phone to the service center.
if its under warranty I'd just take it back and get a new one
Hey, thanks for the reply...
the problem is i dont get that issue with any other wallpaper just the extreme black and white ones .......
and i dont face any other problems any where else in the phone, its just the lock screen....
moreover the lock screen seems to re-scale the image before applying it as a lock screen wallpaper...
thats why i was wondering if its a software bug or something which can be resolved with an ics update... or through some other mean ....
i have never dropped my phone, or sat on it or anything i have been extremely careful with it ....neither have i rooted my phone....
i have seen some other forums on the net regarding the same... apparently there are quite a few people with similar issue.... but no one seems to have a definite answer as to why its happening.....
If it was me, I would just return it and get a new one. You should be able to get one no questions asked if its still under warranty, plus who wouldn't want to get a new note if they could? If it happens on your next note then I'd look further into it, your call though.
I don't need the edge functionality of the phone and would just like to use that portion for whatever is on my screen instead. I experimented with Nova launcher and it removed the edge panel...but only part of it. The edge panel is gone but I still see a thin black bar all the way at the right side of the screen remaining. I want to completely use the entire screen of the phone. So is there a way to remove the black bar and maximize my screen real estate? I feel like maybe a custom rom would do that but I don't wanna go that far unless I know it achieves that.
I kinda had the same problem as you . The edge wasn't very important to me . Flashing a custom rom did help me in achieving that . The first rom I tried was RR by micky I it comes with a omni switch so ya can turn on/off the edge functionality . But if ya prefer to be on MM I would recommend noble rom it comes with an edge panel but is invisible for most of the time ; . I personally use n915f with noble rom and Micky's kernel . Hope this helps

Do you get the ENTIRE screen or is there a remaining thin black bar? Nova Launcher got rid of the edge panel and gave me more screen but I'm still left with a thin black bar on the side so I'm not utilizing my entire screen as I wanted. Can you show me a picture of your phone with either of those roms? I don't want to go through the headache of installing it only to find out its like Nova in the end result of a thin black bar leftover. And will those roms work on an at&t Note edge? Thanks for your response
Due to some unknown reasons am unable to upload a screenshot "network error". Could ya please check noble rom thread ( OP : Albe96) under the development section . He has uploaded some screenshots which will give you a better idea . The title says it works for only Fy&G versions but with the right kernel it worked fine for me on 915f . Am not sure if it works on at&t version of edge . Maybe you can post a question under the rom thread sure somebody will help you
Update : I don't have any black bars.

I meant pictures like an actual pic, not screenshot because I wanted to see if the black bar was visible. But its okay, I appreciate the info you provided. I'll take a look at that now but might not risk it because it doesn't sound like its compatible with the at&t Note Edge.
it would be nice to use the entire screen to display everything

Do you know what the screen size is without the edge panel? Like say I'm using a web browser or some other app and the edge panel is gone now, how big is the display with the edge panel out? 5.4, 5.5 or 5.6 inches? And how big is everything total with the edge panel included?
dont think its possible ,its two separated screens ?
No it's definitely one screen.
I'm in the same situation. Couldn't get the Noble ROM working on my F device unfortunately. I uninstalled the Cocktailbar service to get rid of the edge panel (sped up the device quite a bit BTW). Nova wallpaper covers the entire screen now but the display of the icons gets trimmed off when scrolling.
A Note compatible application will show under an app that gets clipped short and if you window an application, you can drag it to cover the curved portion of the screen so on a system level, it is possible to utilise the entire screen.
There must be a configuration setting somewhere that defines the application rendering area. As a relative Android newbie, does anyone know where such a setting may be found?

Thanks for your response to my post. Even after all this time I'm still trying to get this phone to utilize the entire screen. I'm not sure how you uninstalled Cocktailbar service because I didn't get an option to do so. I have Nova launcher which did get rid of the edge panel but there's still a thin black line on the side of the phone. When the edge panel exists, it utilizes the entire screen but when I remove it by using Nova launcher, I lose the edge panel but I still can't maximize my screen usage because of the thin black bar left on the side. This is so frustrating.
if you dial the service mode , you can test both screen separately , main panel and edge panel , not sure if it one screen at all , thats why note edge is the only curve screen that works ?
I used Uninstall which you can get from the play store. Requires root access, really speeds up the phone when you remove it.
I found a hacky way to get the screen to extend nearly all the way to the edge by dropping the DPI of android system process to 50 and then overriding the DPI of everything else to the normal 640. System notifications are stupidly small and unusable though as well as any edge apps like the camera, see attached. Best option is to bite the bullet and get a Note 4 ROM working I think.
Weird I find the edge screen much more useful without the specialist software. Fast scrolling with a full screen is lovely on the edge bit.
Download and flash a AOSP Rom or Note 4 Rom and then I'd recommend Total Launcher
I'm using MRU Widget as my homescreens softkey row.

Yeah, eventually my tinkering made my phone go bang so I had to reflash. Bit of a pain but can't recommend it high enough. I went for the ROM below, a Note 7 adaption and it's awesome. Have to tinker a bit to get finger prints working but it's straight forward enough.

Hi, I flashed a Note 4 ROM on my Note Edge yesterday, only to find the entire screen worked as a whole! But an issue showed up: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/camera-app-interfaces-malposition-issue-t3960314
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
Hi guys,
Since I updated to Android 12 I have a weird issue with the navigation bar.
Visually it goes lower than it used to, covering less space. But the touch zone is still was it used to be. This is causing me to press the buttons when actually trying to press something on the app.
Anyone had this issue? Any way to solve it without doing a full reset?
I am looking for a way to resize it manually so it would fix it but I cannot see to find it.
Screenshot attached
Thanks
Up
Ok so when the phone is on QHD and 600 DPI everything looks fine, but switching to FHD breaks everything...
@gigaboss i got the same problem on my Oneplus 7 Pro
i still dont know why it is like this.
It came after the update to Android 12
