Fix for screen flickering on Galaxy S4 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

1.
Uncleck the Auto Brightness toggle on the Notification menu.
2.
Settings-> My Device-> Display-> "scroll to the bottom of the list"
Uncheck "Auto adjust screen tone"
Hope this helps!

It is helpful, but, wrong forum.. this is the Galaxy S (GT-I9000), not the S4 (GT-I950x)...

I think I've found the best solution out there for most annoying screen flickering issues... Done a substential amount of digging and finally discovered the app "Twillight" which works like a charm by enabling backlight control feature... Try it out first, then thank me and share your experience here ...

[Q] Capacitive button backlight on all the time

I have recently and the first time flashed CM7 (nightly #183) and most things work really well. except I can see the backlights for the buttons are on always, very dim but on, hence a short battery life.
I have since flashed #185 and no difference I can see.
Anyone?
Cheers
That's the backlight notifications, the dimmed setting is actually the most battery friendly.
Go into Menu,Settings, Cyanogenmod settings, Interface, LED notifications. Look under "Unconfigured for the app you want to disable the backlight led notification on and click on it. Click on LED Mode and select "Force LED off" and select save. (You should notice that a Miscellaneous tab appears under the "Unconfigured" tab. Once you configure an app it'll move from the unconfigured tab to the Miscellaneous tab)
Great thanks, that worked a treat
Thanks both

[Q] No Haptic Feedback options?

TL;DR : Phone has no haptic feedback or any options for haptic feedback anywhere. I remember it used to have them, don't know what to do about it
I've had my S3 mini for little under a month, and I remember having haptic feedback while typing, unlocking and while pressing stuff, as well as a set of haptic feedback options.
It sort of slipped my mind being used to haptic feedback for a long time, but lately typing hasn't felt right at all on my phone, and it took a friend to notice that my phone has no haptic feedback in most cases. There is no option for it anywhere, either (no option in the default samsung keyboard, no option under Sound settings or Power Saving either). The phone vibrates just fine during calls and has all the vibration options, and there's haptic feedback for a long-press of the middle button that summons the recent app list, but that's pretty much it.
I also disabled power saving mode.
Early on, when I got the phone, I installed both Ultra Keyboard (used it on my old droid and loved it), which for some reason does NOT work at all (app has an unexpected error when I open up the settings, and if I enable it as default keyboard it simply doesn't appear on my phone when it should, as if I don't have a keyboard at all) and SwiftKey 3, which I didn't really like, so I just reverted to the default samsung deal. I have no idea if this is relevant.
Google searches have been very unhelpful.
Am I nuts and does the phone actually have no haptic feedback options? Or is something wrong?
Thanks in advance!
With your keyboard app installed use this program called SELECT INPUT METHOD PRO from Google Play. You can then select your keyboard input. There's a free version to try out first, if you like.

How will that help me? I've lost all haptic functionality on my phone, not just from the keyboard. That and I'm not using any other keyboard than the default one.
As far as I can tell this only provides a shortcut to the input selection option.
I don't see how this is even remotely relevant
Haptic must be there, if u install a battery saver app there's always the option to turn it on/off.

I've installed no battery saver app. I simply do not have options for haptic feedback anywhere anymore.
Just looked on Elixir app and it says Haptic Feedback enabled. Try battery booster put widget on screen and enable haptic in green.

i too used to have the s3 and since i moved on to the s3 mini, i have been missing haptic feedback specially on the menu and back soft keys.
i wish there was an option or an app to restore that function again.
I couldnt find it full stop, not sure if it was there to start with in the stock keyboard, I ended up grabbing "Keyboard from Android 2.3" off of play and using that as that does have Haptic feedback enabled, still not found an option for it for Hard Keys though....
install Elixir 2, open it, select the first icon 'information', scroll down, simply press on 'Audio' and the third option will be 'turn haptic feedback off'
It will disable vibration as you (and I) wanted...although when modifying the home screen/adding or removing widgets it will keep the vibration...
hope this helps
Yep can confirm it works.
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda premium
So, is there any way to enable haptic feedback?
I already tried Elixir 2 but it does not work.
Using 4.1.1 by the way.
notice that to....after i root it the haptic feedback setting gone...if flash original stock firmware everything seems normal...not a big deal for me actually...
How did u enable haptic feedback in Elixir?. What did u do exactly.

It is not about haptic feedback on the keyboard but on the back/menu softkeys.

edge lighting when screen off with or without AOD not working

Hi, anyone can figure out what may prevent edge lighting from working when screen off with or without AOD? How can I submit a system log or something to help you diagnose?
All settings is enabled for always and all apps, nothing I can think of that can block it... See screenshot
This has been an enigma since its introduction.
Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk
Bump, same facking problem for me.
When you enable edge lighting make sure you enable it on apps you want it to work on and then make sure apps is also enabled to send notifications in the settings aswell. I did notice some apps may not function with edge lighting but most of my apps works fine otherwise.
I forgot to update my solution. It's all working now. No help from Samsung and Samsung member community.
Basically, it will work with all apps, just make sure any " pop-up" setting is turn off as it conflicts with the edge lighting waking the phone with the pop-up.
To fix when screen is off, you Neff to go into app to turn off led notification or in the settings/ display/ led do it doesn't conflict when screen is off.
This, should fix when screen on and screen off. Some apps may be more persistent like WhatsApp and Facebook as it has I it's own pop-up and led settings. Good luck.

I don't use edge lighting as it's only one time and doesn't repeat like led as a reminder to check notification. If you're not looking at the screen then you won't see it again and since pop-up and led is off, you won't get notified so it's pointless.
You can go to the app and look for pop-up notification or light. And check, in system settings/ app/ notification

I have a weird issue... some chats doesn't work with edge lighting and others does... (screen off)
