Just bought this phone and I realized that when I move my finger the screen starts to vibrate, specially when I move it towards the edges . Then I realized that also happens on some Instagram photos, but also the app stops and I have to turn off the screen to use my phone. Is it an Android fault or a device's one? Thanks
For the vibration thing you can turn the Gesture unlock off at the Settings - if you are not comfortable with that. Try to update you apps, sometimes latest updates help to make your smartphone function better. I have seen that in the case of Maze Alpha.

My wife galaxy note has a habit to turns on wifi on it's own.
Sometimes it's just a flicker on the screen (which makes the whole screen hang, but pen still works)
Other times , but rarely, you will see it scroll down, turns on wifi, scroll back up. It will scan for wifi if none is available, then pretend like nothing happened.
I don't know if this is a bug or a feature in Android, or worse , one of the angry bird space got installed with malicious code (free from Play Store)
Phone is unrooted, no sd card.
Once I got the top left app that I tried to move (voice recorder) went crazy, switching from screen to screen and vibrating in it's spot after I hold my finger there for a few seconds.
Mate I'd to a full wipe of that asap, sounds dodgy as hell. Then when you come to reinstalling apps etc, double check they're from reputable sources.
Either that or your note has become self aware, in which case, congratulations, it had to happen sooner or later

I've finally found the issue is related to loose screen on the top left. Slightly pressing the top left will cause the screen to freeze/scrolls down etc.
time for warranty claim
Ok so the sensor is VERY sensitive when I make calls. Everytime I call my bank and it asks to enter my account number while it's on speakerphone...my fingers don't even get close to the speaker and my screen shuts off until I put my finger far away.
Is there any way to improve or turn this off? It gets annoying when you are on the phone and trying to multi task and screen keeps turning off even though your not even close to the sensor
That is surprising because proximity sensor should be off when on speakerphone. Did you install any app which could directly affect proximity sensor? Maybe factory reset would fix that.

BAD ASS NOTE 4 & GEAR S
When Im on the phone with somebody and i receive a text I could never use the scroll option to bring the bar down because of the sensor. What I do is hit the power button on the side of the phone, then hit it again and sign in with my code, then i dont have the sensor problem anymore. I will still be on the phone and Im at the homescreen. Thats the only way around it for me. its real quick too.
Solution
I am on the phone all day and need the screen to not time out because I am on and off the mute button a lot.
I use Call Light to make sure I always have the screen on when on a call.
Hope that helps some.
Hey guys,
Recently, I've been having issues with my fingerprint sensor/unlock screen. Sometimes when I pull my phone out of my pocket and attempt to unlock the phone witht he fingerprint sensor, it won't respond. I then press the power button, which turns the screen on and when I use the fingerprint sensor, i can feel the vibration from the button but the screen does not unlock. There is also no fingerprint icon at the bottom. I can't unlock by swiping and putting in my password either. This eventually fixes itself after 30-45 seconds, but its really annoying when I want to use my phone. I've tried switching launchers, thinking that this might have been the problem, but this did not fix it.
I'm running stock OxygenOS 4.1.6, kernel [email protected] #1. I'm using the google launcher currently.
Its something to do with the light sensor cause i have it happen at night time when i am listening to podcasts in bed, it comes up to press one of the volume buttons and back to bypass it - but after 10 seconds it lets you unlock it anyway?
Pocket mode, try turning that off. Pocket mode uses the proximity sensor (I think) to detect whether it's in a pocket or not. If it is, then the fingerprint scanner will refuse to work so as to prevent accidental touches in the pocket
Turned it off last night. It's still happening. And it happens even when the phone is sitting on my desk. I go to try and unlock it and it won't respond.3
Delete and reset them. I find it happens after a month or so of use. I'm on Sultans marshmallow.
Originally when it happened I thought the ROM had gone bonkers and flashed back to stock. I missed the battery life too much on the CM13 build so I tried his marshmallow again. And guess what? It happed again. So I just deleted them and reset my fingerprints and voila! Snappy again.
Let me know if it works for you!
Just delete your current fingerprints and reset them. Should become snappy once again.
Happened to one of my friends and that's how I fixed it for him.
Cheers.
Never had issues with. Maybe you use it wrong side of finger, i mean you must unlock with you finger horizontally and not vertically finger

My phone has started acting wonky, not only with the finger print sensor but sometimes the touchscreen will become unresponsive, but I'll be able to turn the screen on or off. I'll have to try resetting tonight.
Hi everybody, I've been having a hideous issue with my Note 8 ever since it updated to Android Oreo. So, before when I turned my phone on, either by pressing the home button on the screen or by using the button on the side, I could see the notifications and I could view the whole preview by sliding them down, touch them and open them, erase them or leave them where they where. Now as soon as I use either one of this buttons, the phone automatically selects one of those notifications and pops up the screen with the sign password and iris recognize without giving me the chance of seeing the notifications. If I go back without using the password, the notification it wanted to open gets deleted. It basically takes away the possibility to check the notifications. The problem gets worse when I'm at home because I have the smartlock enabled, so (when and if it works) it opens up any notifications by itself. Sometimes, it's actually rare but it happened a few times already, it does everything on its own. It's on my bed far from me, I'm not even looking at it, a notification arrives, it turns on by itself and asks for my password to open the notification. What do you think? I hope someone has an answer and I hope i didn't create a new thread on an issue already discussed about, but I couldn't find anything similar
Just got my North American model. In Chrome, if I accidentally touch the fingerprint scanner “find in page” activates. Since the fingerprint scanner is right where my finger naturally rests when I’m holding the phone, I accidentally activate “find in page” constantly when browsing the web.
I can’t find where to turn this off. Can someone help?
Also found the fingerprint scanner and the L & R triggers annoying when using Youtube app like as if i want to pause the video, very annoying. Would also like to know how to turn off those buttons too. Other then those annoying problems, great phone!
I have the same issue. I bought this phone because it was a cheaper OnePlus 7 Pro, not because I play a lot of games. So, I put some black tape over the triggers because it was getting extremely annoying. Shouldn't have to do that though, I hope a patch is released soon.
It would be really cool if we could get OxygenOS ported to this phone, since they are running similar specs under the hood.
Hi,
Well, that is weird.
Me : those buttons simply are doing nothing.
Unless I set them in "Gaming" mode.
I have installed "Button Mapper" as an app.
That allows to customize the buttons to your liking : not active ; what to do with a simple tap ; what to do with a double tap ; what to do with a long press.
Maybe you can try that ?
Regards.
