Hovering finger over lockscreen, no more ripples .. why ? - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

You know the cool effect of finger over lockscreen, even before you touch it ?
I saw it earlier on my device, but it's gone now.
it works , I can hover ove SMS ans read it, but no hovering effect at lockscreen.

oops, discovered that it works with "no security" lockscreen, as soon I use "pattern" it stops..
can anyone confirm this ?

Using a live wallpaper? Did you change it
Watercolor by accident?

[Q] Galaxy s display

I have a problem with my Galaxy when I try to draw with any paint app can not use full display!
The problem is that always stays a white frame as shown in the picture!
Is this normal?
Sorry for my english using google translator!
Your fingers aren't pointy enough.
Can you try on your Galaxy and upload screenshot?
What app are you using? Let me try.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
The name of the app's "Painting"
Anyone just a screenshot, or at least test!?
Yay I found the solution! Click the hand in the painting app to adjust scale and bingo! Access to the entire page. Still not perfect but hey...

But it should work without any tricks or not?
Can you draw on your galxy to the edge of the display without any tricks?
No as the apps don't allow it. Nothing wrong with the phone, or your finger lol.

Actually I think I may be wrong about this. The phone does not seem to respond when the very edges of the touchscreen are touched!

I tried this app on HTC Desire and Acer Liquid, and on both I could draw to the edge of the display only Galaxy not!!
When I type the *#*# 2664 #*#* to get into test mode for display,
on the complete edge I have no reaction to touch i in a width of 10-15 pixel!

I can confirm this. Autodesk Sketchbook show the same problem!
If you want to draw with more accuracy, get a phone with Resistive Touch Screen.
I do not want to draw, drawing program is the only app where I can show my problem!
My question was, Is this normal and if someone else has similar problems?
Everyone with the phone has the same problem as you.

Air swipe problem

Hi guys!
I tried 3 apps that can use your phone's gallery, browser, lockscreen and call accept like in s4 but none of these work.
Is there a problem my proximity sensor?
Or its another weak point at 4x?
What you get with these apps (air call accept and air swiper)? Are they work for you?

I Wonder the same thing today trying airu swipe

I tried both apps and both of them are not working for me unfortunately. Proximity sensor is working because when i answer a call and put the phone next to my ear the screen go black. So that means that proximity is only activated when you are talking wizh someone.

And are there any way to turn on proximity sensor?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda premium
There isn't a problem with turning on, it's the lack of the sensor, it only supports two distance modes - sensor is covered ,sensor is free so you have to put your hand nearly touching the screen, so wave Is a big problem, it's not being detected most of the times, only by really slowly moving the finger across, I tried other apps with the prox control, and that's the result.

Screen randomly getting dim

I have auto brightness off, auto adjust screen tone off and brightness set to max. My screen randomly dims and then gets bright again...anyone know what's causing this?
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Hmm is it this adapt display option maybe?
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Same here then I went into my settings to check the brightness (settings, display, brightness) and it said brightness decreased to prevent over heating or something like that ..check it next time you notice it dimming and see if it's the same thing ..pretty annoying
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
power saver uses the dimming option for low consumption of battery and make sure auto adjust is off in display settings

Power saving isn't on. Adapt display didn't fix it either

I have everything turned off also ..I checked in my settings every time my screen dimmed and every time the same message ..it was driving me nuts for days (still is)
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
I've had this happened to me also.
It seems to be more frequent when I'm using Chrome ( not stock browser ). It suddenly gets dim and then may or may not eventually brighten up again, it's pretty random
Also happens when I'm on the launcher but not as frequent
- Automatic Brightness / Off
- Screen Mode / Professional Photo
- Power saving mode / Off
- Auto adjust screen tone / Off
Is there something else I may be missing?
It happens to me while using the xda app. Annoying as hell. It has the same message as Melissa

Does anyone know if this processor does thermal throttling? That could possibly trigger a power save dim with overheating. If we get root this can be disabled using trickster mod.

The Otimus G Pro had a setting in the hidden menu to disable thermal throttling.

Will do, you as well plz :good:
Thought this was an issue with my phone when I got it from AT&T yesterday. Glad to know it isn't just me. It seems to only have the issue when I am in a low-lite area (at least on mine) but when I am in an area with good lighting and the back light is 75% or more it doesn't dim nearly as much. Would be interested to see what a fix would be for this.

Same for me, it does it in low light obly, with or without power saving enabled. I have the same problem on my galaxy tab 2 (7) and couldn't find a fix yet.

The service mode is brought up by typing *#0011# in the dialer on this phone but aside from that i havent had a chance to mess around in there. I do know that key imput 1 doesnt bring up the main menu anymore.

So I've been having this issue and noticed it like two days ago, and reading all your responses I looked through and noticed I had one of the features that I thought I turned off. Smart Stay says that it starts to turn the screen off when we look away maybe it's a buggy feature (one I never intended to use but it might be the one doing this dimming thing (being one of the first steps to turn off the screen)

Why does it vibrate like 5 seconds after lock?

Like the title says, I'm wondering why the phone quickly vibrates twice like 5 seconds after a screen lock. Anybody else notice this?
EDIT: actually I noticed its only when the screen is touched after its locked? Pretty annoying.

Weird mine doesn't do that at all. You got an app or anything running in the background perhaps causing that?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk 5
Under Controls -> Motions there is a setting for "Smart Alert". That's probably what you are feeling. It vibrates when you pick up the phone and you have a notification and the screen is off to let you know there is something you missed.

I have the same problem, you dont have to touch it. Smart alert is turned off. When I lock the screen itll vibrate twice a few seconds later. I cannot figure out what it is and it just started after the android 9 update

I have the same issue on my Note 10+ and cannot find a solution. Smart Alert is already turned off so it is something else. It happens if the volume is set to sound or vibrate and the only way to stop it is to set the phone to silent. Hopefully someone here can share an actual solution.

[Q] Screen On

Curious how come when I get a notification for lets say... Google Hangouts, my screen doesn't light up ? Is there any way to change this.. or nothing can be done? Thank you.
Certain apps have the option to allow it. Personally it is horrible to have that. Say you get a notification in your pocket, there will be a ton of screen presses that happen when your screen turns on. It is also a waste of battery.

Most the times the notification light would come on. Top left corner
