Guys
I have a new galaxy tab and got the recent update as well from 10 days ago. I've used an ipad before and the auto brightness worked very well. However, with the galaxy tab it keeps changing during the day time when there's consistent sunshine coming into the room (not directly though) and also at night with my CFL's turned on. Has anybody else noticed that? I see a plethora of apps to handle this and allow easy adjustment of brightness level but I thought auto-brightness should be an easy function to implement which Samsung hasn't pulled off well
Any solutions?
Thanks
Coming from a Galaxy Gear and still using my Note 3.
Unfortunately, I'm having to significant issues with my new Gear Fit.
1. Sometimes, the auto-lock-unlock feature does not work. In other words, the ability to unlock my Note 3 with just a swipe up while wearing my Fit instead of inputting my pin/pattern without it. Simply, the feature just stops working out of the blue.
2. The Gear Fit synced with my AccuWeather.com app yesterday and the weather was visible on the clock screen, but not today. Today it shows a message and no weather for whatever reason (see pic)
Anyone else??

Sounds like you connection problems between the two devices..

Here's what I've got so far:
1. The Auto Lock feature is not consistent. Even though the G-Fit is in range of my phone, it sometimes still makes me do the pattern unlock. It was my understanding if my Fit is in range that would automatically unlock the phone.
2. S Health is not updated to the version that will work fully with the Gear Fit.
3. The wake-up gesture of raising my arm to turn on the screen doesn't work consistently. I had the original Gear watch and that seemed way more consistent. I'm hoping a firmware update from Samsung could make this better.
4. The Find My Device feature will locate the phone but only makes it vibrate, not ring which would be better. It also turns on the flash which is useless if your device is lying flash side down.
5. The Find My Device feature only works one direction. If I misplace my G-Fit there is nothing in Gear Fit Manager to make it buzz.
A couple of months ago I got a Samsung Galaxy S3 (SHV-E210K, the Korean one) and after that I have been facing some problems. While using the phone, randomly the screen blacks out but one can still hear the noise from the song if it is being played at that time..... The physical buttons work in that condition everytime...... To bring the screen up I first have to lock the device and then unlock it again.......and its driving me crazy......any ideas how to fix it......
Srsly..????!! No replies.....
Hey is everyone busy with the newer models and nobody gives a damn about the old awesome phones....
I have been having bad luck with my new phones. I decided to get the AT&T galaxy s6 active. My first galaxy s6 active developed a lower microphone problem. The microphone was garbled at first, which I attributed to bad signal quality when I made a call and it sounded bad.
Then it stopped working altogether, which I discovered when Google Now stopped working. AT&T completely replace the phone, after an hour wait in which someone had to run across the street to retrieve a replacement.
After using the new phone for a few weeks , I noticed that while displaying gray colors, faint lines would be visible on the screen. This is slightly visible on scrolling images of solid colors. Actually noticed while playing game called arrow, and I thought it was dirt under my screen protector. I remove the screen protector and clean the phone, but the lines remained.
I checked another galaxy s6 active that another family member owns that has the same screen protector, and he had similar looking lines only apparent on gray colors, although they were even fainter and in different positions and numbers presumably. I check a third active that's never had a screen protector. It had the same lines. These are all new phones about two to three weeks old. I checked a normal galaxy s6 that my sister owns, and it did not exhibit those lines.
As far as I know both phones have the same screen but the galaxy s6 ACTIVE has a waterproof coating. This is a side effect of having the coating ? I did contact live support which was no help at all. He / she I just advised me to return it to AT&T, which I am NOT doing again especially if it's might B a normal trait. Any ideas?
Hi,
I never had an amoled screen but I heard that you can get burn-in on those screen.
So I avoided phone with amoled but I really like the note 9.
I would like to know if it easy to get burn-in when you use app like google maps, with your notifications bar (battery, ..), or onscreen nav button, ect...
Thanks for yous reply.
I've never gotten burn in on any AMOLED phone I've owned (Galaxy S3, Note 4, Note 5, S7 Edge, Note 8, S9 (three of them) and the Note 9). I use the phone a lot.
Is it possible? Sure. LCD is possible, too. Just don't keep static images onscreen for hours on end
I've had an AMOLED phone since the Galaxy S2, and have kept each phone for at least 1-3 years. By my count that is the S2, S3, S4, S5, S7 Edge, and now the Note 9. I have been using Google Maps and Navigation on all of these devices, and I have never experienced any screen burn in. Not once. In fact, I have never heard of it being an issue. Yes, I knew it could happen, but I have never heard of it happening outside of isolated cases. The Note 9 has one of the best displays of any phone out there, don't let this non-issue stop you.
When I first get my AMOLED Smartphone/Tablets I never use brightness over 20 to 30% I run it like that for about 3+ months. I blend the displays in, well that’s my theory!
I have a Tab S 8.4 LTE my daily driver! It’s over 4 + years old! Not a mark of screen burn in see it all depends how you use your display! I’ve seen people complaining there AMOLED display have burn in 2 months in! But when you ask them where the brightness set to 80% was even 100% it’s too bright it hurts your eyes!
You don’t need 80% TO 100% unless your real blind ? Seriously use your phone sensibly you will be fine pp.’s I’ve done many 8+ hour round trip Google maps on my TAB S 8.4 there’s no sign of burn in on my AMLOED display!! AMOLED IS KING!!
Just leave the brightness on auto. In full sunlight in my car, the screen is maximally bright. On long trips, that may be for 8 hours at a time or more. That's not a routine thing for me, but still never any issues.
that was one thing i was worried about too, this is my first samsung/amoled phone. I have read here and there, some people get burn ins as early as one week of usage and some never, cant say every screen is perfect and everyone uses their phones differently.
a small tip, what i have done is using the app "routine" to set my brightness to 35% and auto rotate on when connected to bluetooth of my car. It locks it at that brightness, and of course you can manually turn it up if you wish. this saves me the trouble when the phone auto adjust it to max most of the time.
if youre worried just for that one app ie. google maps, you can set it so that only when you launch that app and connected to that specific bluetooth to lock in the brightness at 35%.
I have also set my google maps night mode always on.
