LED View Case Stopped working Need Help!!!!!!!!! - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

hello friends,,
I just installed s9 ported rom to my note 8 device and its LED view cover is stopped working. Its not showing time and any notification but its showing in setting that it is attached. It is just 4 days old. Now i just installed clean official firmware with Odin but still no luck.. Can anyone help me out please???
Thank you

The led case may be defective

My LED case stopped working after a year (it was looking a little worn). I got a new one and it's working fine now.

Just reinstall N8 stock rom, if LED cover stopped after flashing S9 ROM. Otherwise, live with it..

The LED cover in general is crap. I had one when I used my S7 edge. It gets its power supply thru the wireless charging unit. Did you test if this one is still working? Even if you get the LED cover to work again I would strongly suggest you get rid of it soon. It doesn't protect the screen effectively. I had to replace the display of my S7e twice when I used the LED cover. Never again! LJ

[Q] N6 Camera Issues

Anyone else having issues like this? As far as the camera cannot connect error I have read about people with that problem and I literally tried every single suggestion. I'm not a n00b so this is really bugging me (see what I did there) Anyway all of these pictures are with the same phone. On stock 5.1.1 I RARELY could connect to the camera. With Android M preview I can at least connect about 80% of the time. However, results aren't always good. Should I just suck it up and call and get it replaced? Or is the actual phone OK and I'm one of the unlucky guys with the camera bug.

Same here. Had to RMA. Unable to connect and purple pixilation.
Thanks guys. Got mine swapped out at the store. Camera pops up right away and works awesome. Other things I noticed is that this new one perfectly fits my case mate folio case. The other power button must have been off by a little bit. This new one also got 50k+ on Antutu. I was lucky if the old one hit 43k.

LED Flip cover software issue.

So I bought the LED flip cover for my S7 Edge (EF-NG935). Although its a really good quality case I have issues with its software. The LED's on the case display the time, receiving a call or a text and afterwards it goes dark. There is no way for me to see if I have a notification on my phone. Usually the phone LED would flash slowly notifying me to check my phone. Other than that the Flip cover LED does not notify me for any general notification (viber,facebook etc). Not even when i receive a message on them. So there is no way for me to see that i just received a message or that I had received a message. Other than that it doesn't display music bars when music is playing or the volume.
What it would be excellent is that the LED's should be always on (hence low consumption). In case of a notification it should display the icon of the app that I got a notification from. The LEDs are quite a lot so its easy to figure out what app send the notification. The case costed 70 Euros which are quite a lot. There should be a customization software or something. Samsung needs to address this issue. My ROM version is : G935FXXU1APAW
I agree 100%. One of the great things about Android phones are the LED notifications, but this cover covers it and it should IMO show notifications on the cover.
Just a simple blinking diod would even be good enough.
Disappointing
Or make the dot leds always on! Can we edit it's settings with root? Does anyone have knowledge how to? The led view flip cover is really nice and has potential. But right now it's not even working right.
I reported the issue to samsung...but I'm not expecting much...xda devs is the only salvation haha. Any rom cookers that can help?
When i went to a samsung store to buy the led flip case, the first one i used had an issue like yours so we cracked open another case and tried it on and the 2nd one works like a charm and as a matter of fact no issues until now.
My previous experiences tell me that the sensor itself is faulty on the case. Go to your nearest samsung store and try a new led flip case. See if the issue is still there on a new case.
Does it show all general notifications? Like what's up, Facebook,etc? Because mine shows only time, battery charging, incoming call,and sms. No general notifications...and furthermore it should stay on all the time so I know I had a notification..like the phone led! I'll go try another one Monday...but I still want to see customization on the led case. Always on option...app icons etc.
Please explain how your case works? General notifications etc...
Ok so I was doing some googling on this, and found that it seems to work with Nova Launcher Prime + TeslaUnread (their unread badge plugin). It seems to show four dots spinning on other Samsung LED flip covers.
I don't have Nova Launcher Prime, so I can't test it. If you do, please feel free to try!
edit: ok so I've got nova launcher prime now, and it still doesn't work..
I got my info from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/accessories/led-case-review-t2993839/page2
edit 2: from reading a bit more, the note 4 led cover had some support for 3rd party apps, but that seems to be gone with S7 LED cover..
So there is a way to control it! We just need the software! Great work @dogans ! Anyone who can give us some help? I'm sure its not such a hard thing to do...if it could only take the notification bar icons...and show em on..that would be great. For example if you have a viber text...it should show a viber icon always on till you read it!

Notification only works with standard sms, prompt to swipe for call only happens when receiving calls, music player led only works with samsung music app, alarm clock with samsung built in clock app.
No 3rd party notification support.
Led doesnt stay lit all the time.
It was meant to do that.
And if u wanna check the time u can press the power/lock button.
Well that's no good. First of all..even if I get a standard sms or call..after it lids up for some seconds then it goes dark. The phone led is covered so how I supposed to notice I got a notification. If someone is willing to modify its settings or make a small app to take control of it that would be great. It's highly inefficient as is.
Luckily i read it. I was planning to buy one. Saved some money there.

No you should buy it...it's a really nice case! Even without the notifications...and I'm sure it's a matter of time till we get it right! Haha! I don't think there is a better case..leather plus led
Update: the case works with samsung music player. Wish it would stay on all the time. Volume shows up as well. So the only thing that doesn't work is general notifications and always on (which it's a must if you ask me)

Im not too sure but the number of leds there > number of lcds on a 5" lcd smartphone. If its always on, theres bound to be a huge battery drain
Well at least one led should fade in and out just to let you know you have a notification... Like the phone LED on top of the screen. Can someone write an app to control it? Or at least enable general notifications.
hi, i got problem with this s7 edge led flip case. somethimes it show the clock when i close it but sometimes not. already claim the warranty, and got new one but sadly it happen again after several hour using. one thing i noticed when the led it not show , then put my phone back on metal object suddenly led is working. what do u guys think, problem came from the case or the phone itself?
Probably nfc interference... The case works fine here. Except the above complaints. Try testing it on someone's else's phone. And try your nfc with another phone as well. If both works fine its a software problem. Hard reset!

I have the same problem like this. If the phone
attached with another phone the LED
can work properly,
But if not attached the LED not working.
Picked one up today, tried the hopeless Samsung Experience store in London - who had no S7 Edge cases at all !!!
Went to Carphone Warehouse and got a 3 for 2 deal, but again only bought the LED as that was all they had. Works fine, but boring the led as always with Samsung great idea (hardware) poor software failure to exploit hardware potential.
so did anyone figure out how to modify its software? it shouldnt be that hard i guess.

note 8 gear VR not working

So I purchased the note 8 vr a couple days ago. It updated the software but won't boot up. I get a black screen with an x in the corner. I have the American unlocked version with AT&T firmware. Anyone know any fixes or about this issue?

Are you actually wearing the headset when you see this because that's what it will show when the sensor does not sense you are wearing the headset. The sensor should be located around your middle forehead area. Try covering it with your finger to see if an image comes up.

Yeah when I put it on it will flash white then return to black screen repeatedly. I'll try that but it does make a sound to acknowledge it was put in the vr. I'll try posting on the link you provided as well. I didn't think the firmware I have was an issue since all versions should work with the vr. I'm really confused since everything else works (dex and other usb connections) and the headset works with my gs7 edge

I only have one more suggestion. Did you try clearing data on your Gear Vr and Oculus apps? Otherwise, yeah maybe one of the pros on Gear board can offer better informed help.

Yeah I've tried uninstalling all the vr software and reinstalling a couple times. I reset the phone. I'm just not understanding what the issue could be at this point, only thing I've changed is from unlock firmware to at&t firmware. Both should have support for gear vr though...
Did it work on your note 8 or not cause I am also have same issue
I can confirm gear VR working fine on oreo and was working on nougat too
I'm having the same issue. Worked on Thursday and today (Tuesday) nothing but the blank screen. Is there a light onthe headset sensor? I cannot remember. Mine is not lit if it is supposed to be. I'm thinking a faulty sensor

As Alphapappa77 stated, it used to work, then stopped. We all have the right Gear and connector.
I found if you plug in the charger while you re wearing it, it works.
I too having problem getting the Note8 to work in the Gear VR. I purchased the model SM-R325 which came with the USB-C adapter and it's printed on the box it is compatible with a Note8. Software update on my Note8 said I'm already have the latest OS. Turned off screen lock, paired with the controller and it asked me to install about 10 Gear and Oculus apps, which I did. Browsed to some free contents and the screen ask me to plug it into the headset. Plug it in, snap it in place and put the headset on my face and the screen still look the same (i.e. asking me to plug it into the headset). Tried some of the troubleshooting techniques out there (un-installed and re-installed apps, making sure it sit securely in the USB and headset, etc.) but made no difference. Even took the Gear VR back to the store and exchanged for another brand new one. Plugged a charger into the headset and it does charge the Note8, thou not at a quick charge (on both headsets). Contacted Samsung Gear VR support department and the only thing they will tell me is the phone number for Oculus.
Anyone get it working on this particular VR platform?
Have you enabled all the Facebook Apps as you need them in order to get the GearVR working.
I have the same problem with Note 8, nothing appears when I install the phone in the VR until I had to change the charging plate, but without any benefit, it seems to be a general problem in Note 8 Have you reached a solution

IR led allways on

Hello guys , i noticed the the infrared led from the proximity sensor is always on, even with the screen turned on. Isn't it supposed to turn on only when you make a call ? or when you use face unlok ( but it's non my case, since i don'e use any lockscreen )
I have an another samsung device, an galaxy s9, and the led turns imediatly off when you pass the lock screen or you end a call.
This is my second Note 9 device, both had the same "problem".
I uploaded o video on yuotube, i cant post the link since is my first post. But you'll find it on youtube " Samsung Note 9 IR led allways on "
Thx
Mines off after face unlock is used...
Took picture with another phone to see if it was on, it wasn't...
Might be something wrong with your Note 9 or an app you are using might be causing this, especially if it's a problem that has migrated across 2 Note 9's...
This is my second Note 9, both with the same issue, and the odd thing is that this morning i chatted with samsung chat assistance, and they claimed that even their test model had the infrared led allways on , and that it's normal to be like than ! In my modest opinion, i think that it'a bug (related maybe to the exynos models ).
I do not know whether to keep the phone or to get a refound.
The infrared LED is on when auto-brightness is enabled to detect light, turning auto-brightness off will turn off the LED

I assume OP is not refering to the infrared flood light used during iris scanning
It's the smaller LED near the proximity sensor, visible with a camera or something that detects infrared-light
Gsam used to always show high proximity sensor usage on both my note 9 and note 8 . I turned off smart alert and usage dropped by 90%.

I'll try to switch off smart alerts to see if the situation improoves. Since now i tested 3 samsung models: s8+ , s9 and mine note 9, all with th same settings , and only mine keeps le infrared led on .
With my first note 9 i tried a factory reset, reflash fw with odin , but with no luck, so i asked the seller to change it with a new one. And even this one has the same " issue" ( if we can call it like that )
I like the phone but knowing that i have a infrared led allways on in my eyes , it's bother me.
By the way i have the exynos version.

Samsung Note 9 - Display Discoloration & Overheating

Who else are facing the same problem ?
1)Initially, when I unlock phone by pressing power button the display was changed to dim colour(mostly yellowish) and with horizontal lines displayed when the brightness is below 50%. After tried with multiple times pressing on power button the display came back to normal.
2) Next stage, it's not solved with power button. I have to keep my phone aside for some time to get back to normal display. It's been 15 to 20 min then.
3) Now, I would get normal display only in morning. Else, I need to keep my phone idle without touching for at least 4 to 5 hours. I've also changed screen power off time from 30 Sec to 10 Minutes. So that my screen wont turn off and I can keep the normal display. If I forgot to use or kept aside more than 10 min then my screen would go off and display would gone again and irritation starts with that discoloration problem..
4) If display changes to yellowish to reduce the horizontal lines problem I need to increase the brightness to 80 or 85% but this causing my phone with another problem "heating issue"
Samsung haven't responded on this issue yet, how could we bring up the issue and get the proper resolution from Samsung.
This happened after last March update installation?
What note 9 do you have?
Probably not a hardware fault if it happened after recent software update.
A number of note9 affected although samsung seems to disagree at the moment.
Hello,
I also have a problem with the display after waking up with the POWER button. There are tinted colors distorted and some stripes like dim lines and slow refreshing. Everything started after updating to Android 10. In fact, when the display lights up incorrectly, it starts to heat up from the bottom. Putting the smartphone aside for a moment or cooling down causes the display to work correctly.
Workaround? I turned on Active Display and first knock to activate it, then the display lights up correctly and then I unlock the screen and use normally. It is known that battery consumption increases. Of course mine is Exynos.
hi guys,, i remember a similar experience sometime back.. try this. if u have turn on the proximity sensor i mean the advance feature where the phone screen doesn't turn on while in pocket , switch it off and restart the phone and see if the problem still exist.
i am having same issue

whats the firmware version u are having now and phone model?
Try wiping the cache partition in Recovery Mode. If that doesn't work then back up your device and manually reinstall the OS back onto your device.
Im having the exact problem. I flash LineageOS and it worked by max brightness then back to auto. I installed brightness widget to max brightness and back to auto everytime I turn on screen.
This issue is popular after March update. I tried everythings you mentioned above, reset, flash new firmware, even April update, wipe cached, flash cooked rom, heat screen, turn off features, disable gpu overlay, etc... Samsung Vietnam guaranteed can fix with new screen but I'm out of warranty.
I dont have any issues us unlocked snapdragon xaa model on latest android 10 version.
Can we confirmed that a screen replacement fixes the display problem or is it still a software issue

No one knows what is the exact cause here, its noticed in many devices right after this March update but few are noticed months before. But, now the problem came to many users at same time. So its been brought up by many tech blogs, websites.

I'm having the exynos version too but with ITV (Italy) firmware ...never had this problem and now I'm on April's version after March's version.
This looks a little bit like what happened to the S5 years ago when after 1 and a half/ 2 and a half year's the screan began flickering, having green spots or lines, randomly didn't go on with low luminance settings since it completely died....a lot of people said on forum's that it was the screen and a replacement solves, but when it happened to me years ago the Samsung assistance center told me that it was another component (never told me what it was) causing the issue and once they changed it , they solved the problem.
So, after my experience with the S5, don't know what to think now for what is happening to some guys even if I think that this issue might depend with something happening after marchs update because for the too many people having it after the update, coincidences are not credible.

Yes, many people were facing this problem and how many times we have contacted the Samsung they are behaving like they just hearing the issue for the first time. Just created and posted the link in Members app and 67 members joined so far. Everyone having the display problem out of nowhere. All of them on out of warranty except one or two. Still members app floating with the display problem messages.
Display issue got noticed in S20 too but they immediately released the security patch and solved it. Don't know why they were silent on Note 9.
