Not to be a jerk but this should have been posted in Q&A section. But anyhow it sounds lije your proximity sensor may be bad. Open your phone app and press menu button to access settings if you cant figure it out I would just backup all the data with Kies 3 or whatever and do a factory reset

Haven't tried a reset, bbut download this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tigermonster.proxfinder and am getting readings for 0 and 8cm (no intermediate) as well as time covered.
So not really sure what to do next. Reset might be only way.

Try this:
Go to- Settings
My device
Call
Turn off screen during calls.
There should be a check next to it. Try turning it off & on again.
Be aware things change if you're using bluetooth...
Hope this helps.

Ok thought i would try something after reading elsewhere that dust can effect it quite easily. I have an otterbox defender. Guess what, no problems at all when phone is naked.
Case closed! Ill just have to "deal with it" as they say!

That sounds like your case was blocking the proximity sensor on the front of your device
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using xda app-developers app
Yup thats what i discovered. It doesnt directly block it but the presence of the case close to the sensor must be creating some confusing for it.

It appears my camera LED stopped working. Does anyone know how to test it? I've tried a flashlight app but nothing happens.any ideas?
Sent from my LG-P925g using xda app-developers app
Did you try taking a picture or video with the light on in the settings? I also went into the hidden menu and did the Camera Test. That also should show you if the flash is working or not.
To access hidden menu you need to dial 3845#*925# or you can create a shortcut with Anycut.
Have you tried rebooting? That happened to me once when I was out and about and a reboot did the trick

If you know how to solder, you could always solder a new one on.

the led shouldn't have burned out already they have a hugely long life could of just broke a solder or something

Must have been a software glitch. After a factory test to fix another problem it works fine now.
Thank you for trying to help

Sometimes while using my tablet, the screen suddenly "shifts" out of place: http://imgur.com/a/94hr8 Sometimes it also gets "corrupted": http://imgur.com/yErJp.jpg The tablet works normally when this happens, and it responds to touch at the correct position(i.e. touch doesn't change). It doesn't show up on screenshots. I haven't noticed it being "linked" to anything specific, and it's always done it. Turning the screen off and on again returns it to normal. Why does this happen? Is it solveable? I've tried googling around but nothing.
Thank you.

maybe you can post more details on your device
which rom? which cwm.....
It is completely stock 3.2, only rooted with a zip I flashed from stock recovery. I'm pretty sure it did that before rooting, though.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
It sounds hardware related and nothing you'll be able to resolve. Are you still under warranty? If you are I'd take it in.

That's what I've been thinking. Thank you anyway.

Does anyone know what the safe mode is useful for??
You can access it by keep pressing vol down when the phone is booting.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Maybe similar to windows safe mode?

It prevents 3rd party (installed) apps from running in case you get a rogue one that prevents the system from booting or running properly.
You can still access them to remove them.

Be aware that if you're tempted to try it for the sake of it, it will mess up your widgets because they appear to the launcher to have been uninstalled. Even after a normal reboot, they'll be missing.

That seems to do the trick, but then aren't I missing out on that feature? Say if I'm in the shower?
Kind of sad that's the only place left to get away from the leash... before I retired I bought a lake house that got no pager (remember those? ) or cell service just to get away.

This morning, my XDA app is acting crazy. When I click on a post, it gives me the options for the post before it, so if I click on my own post to edit it, it gives me the options for the post before mine. Is this happening to anyone else?

Can someone help with this issue? I can barely make any posts which is frustrating.

Not having that issue. But responding to xda notifications causes the app to FC. Root de la Vega rooted my N3 if that makes any difference. Try re-installing the app.

I have lost the ability to post multiple pictures. Wiping cache and data for app didn't help. Will reinstall and see if it fixes issue.

I have reinstalled it several times, but it doesn't work. The interesting thing is that this issue began just last night. Any other suggestions?

OP, I suddenly started having this issue over a week ago. It's so bizarre, I never had the issue before and I didn't change anything. I also have tried reinstalling without any luck.
I'm at a loss, I don't know what else to do.

I'm using the paid version. No problems other than what I posted above. Maybe its not your device that's the problem. Maybe its the xda servers. I'm just guessing.

Just use tapatalk instead.
Why would I use tapatalk when the XDA app worked perfectly fine until when it started having issues?

It's been happening to me as well. And no I don't want to use Tapatalk.
I've noticed that every time something goes wrong the first suggestion is to try something else instead of solving the actual problem. With my video stuttering issues someone suggested to stream videos at 480p instead of 720 or 1080. Yea that's why I got a 700 dollar phone for so I can stream at quality that's been around since 1997.
Back on topic, I've noticed that if you click next to the name of the op of the post you want to quote or reply to it picks the correct one as opposed to the one above it. Still, it's an issue that needs to be resolved.
I'm not bragging, just informing. I am not having any selection problem with this app. I have tried using the spen and my finger, touching anywhere in a post. I even tried along the border between posts and it selected the correct post every time.
I'm sorry you guys are havjng this irritating problem. Does it happen anywhere else? N1 had a screen sensitivity problem with spen that required an outside app to recalibrate the screentouch.

Temp fix: if you tap on the post itself will select the post above making difficult to quote the last post. Now, look at the post and you'll see on the left the user name and on the right the time the post was posted. If you tap on the time will select it right and not the one above it
Edit: just like Techweed said, sorry didn't read your post, I did this couple days ago already.
