Hey Guys,
I wonder if someone else has experienced the following: When you use your mobile during charge it's hard to use swype or "slide" through your apps since the display "jitters". I mean that when you try to do a straight line on the display it's not possible.
It's the same as with the issues the HTC HD2 displays suffered from.
It would be great if someone could confirm my experiences with the GalaxyS display.
Cheers!!!

Defective unit? mine doesnt do it.....
Well... don't know, however I didn't realize until I tried to "swype" a message. So tapping an Icon or similar "actions" work perfect. It only happens on swyping or e.g. when you slide in Launcher Pro and keep finger on display... then it doens't hold still but jums around all the time :-(
Trying to lower the top bar is practically impossible... Anyone else has this problem? Could this be a problem caused by the screen protector?

I have the same problem but my problem is not limited to just the top part. i am having trouble with taps and swipes across the whole screen
Me too, I noticed my knock on wasn't working at all, but knock off worked fine...Then I noticed that if I drag the notification bar down really slowly about half inch down it just snaps up as if I lifted my finger, almost like its not detecting touch anymore when it reaches that section. My phone has worked great for 3 weeks, what could be causing this all of a sudden?
Is there a charger in the dock?
Lots of devices get touch screen issues when charging. (I have to double tap everything on my Tablet when it's charging). Some have bigger issues than others. Depends on how good the battery is shielded.
I almost never notice it on my G2 though. Only a tad. Depends on how stable the currency is in my house (The problem is almost non existent at my home. At my mom it's just like my tablet. Have to double tap everything)
Could also be because of a magnet or something in the car dock.
Hi all. I've looked for an answer to this issue, but to no avail.
I usually dock my s4 to samsung' s smart dock at home and I use it connected to a tv with mouse and keyboard attached for basic needs. Till lollipop upgrade everything worked flawlessy, now there are some issues:
Original TW: upon connection (power, hdmi etc), the screen goes off and appears on the tv, oriented and scaled to fill the display. this is fairly good, since I don't need anymore a rotation control app, the problem is that if the screen goes off, the only way to interact with the phone is via keyboard and mouse, which is annoying. does anyone know a way to control this behaviour?
GPE: the screen stays on upon connection, but sound is not sent through hdmi, only through the smart dock 3.5mm connectior
thanks, any hint appreciated
Something that's been bugging me with my active display is where I have my phone mounted in my car to the right of my steering wheel. It's constantly popping up the time / active display when I move at all. I'm sure this is speeding up battery drain. It also happens a lot when I'm at my desktop at home and at work since I keep the phone nearby, upright in my keyboard's built-in dock or laying flat on the desk between my arms.
While I LOVE the idea, it would be nice to incorporate the option to have it activate via single tap instead of waving over or looking at the device. It comes up a lot when I'm not looking at it and not really waving over it. Any movement near it seems to bring that screen up and since it's not AMOLED, it is lighting every single pixel enough to worry me on drain. I've looked at displaying active display, but then I lose the entire convenience of not having to press the physical power button.
My LG G4 had a double-tap, but I think I would enjoy a single tap or something. Does anyone know of my options to disable the wave or looking at the phone waking but still have convenience? I swear I read there's an option to have it activate on movement of the phone, but not the waving detection... but can't seem to put that together myself.
I feel like a bit of a dunce... I disabled Approach for Moto Display, but left Wake screen when notifications arrive set to On Moto Display and moving the phone works. If I set that to Ambient Display or Off, then moving the phone does nothing at all. It's a temporary solution to my annoying issue, but still no response to a tap on the screen which would be the best option for those needing to disable Approach for Moto Display for whatever their reason.
One thing to make sure you're doing is that you are acknowledging notifications as they come in. You can swipe them tot he left or right to dismiss, but if you do nothing with a notification it will keep lighting the screen up every minute or so until you do.
I did not know this initially and was concerned over how much the phone lit up, after finding this out and acknowledging the notifications as they come in it's gotten a lot better.
Hello all!
My Razer Phone 2 stopped charging. This is how my Razer Phone 1 also died, basically the charging port went bad, then worse, then died completely.
Anyway I got the Nothing instead, since price and specs fit me pretty fine.
However I want to change a few things. I might be blind in the settings menu, but I'm hoping you'll still help me!
I got a few points I'd like changed, and no amount of googling helped me here:
1. The phone turns on the screen when I pick it up. But there are often mistakes, and the screen just turns on by itself when I'm walking with it in my hand, or in my pocket. It has happened already a few times, after having for phone for 48 hours, that I have dismissed some notifications because of this. Can I stop this function all together?
2. I can also press the screen once and the screen will turn on. This is also a problem when the phone is in my pocket. On my Razer I had to double tap and it still turned on sometimes in my pocket. I ran the Razer phone with Nova Launcher, maybe I have to change to this launcher from the Nothing one to get this double tap feature?
3. I can turn off the screen by double tapping on the home screen. That is a feature I always use and appreciate. I never put the phone screen down so the lights on the backside won't get used. I always double tap to turn on the screen, check for notifications, and double tap to turn the screen off should there be no notifications. Nothing phone won't turn off the screen with a double tap unless I actually unlock it, so I can't do a quick check for notifications by double tapping and double tapping again. It won't matter if the phone is on a table, but I frequently check notifications and put the phone back to my pocket, and having to go for the screen button is not exactly for me. Do I need Nova Launcher here?
4. I NEVER use sounds on my phone, except for the alarms. When someone calls me while the screen is turned off, the screen turns off and I get vibration. If the screen is on I won't get any vibration from it, only a visual notification which is easy to overlook if I let it sit with the screen on but locked if I just checked notifications. Also I like the feedback in my hands in case I am doing something on the phone. I already missed some calls because of this. Can it be changed?
5. Is it possible to manipulate the glyph on the backside? I found a "secret" setting which makes them light up to the music playing, but that became pretty annoying just after 5 seconds. Are there some basic things you can do with the light? Like making a custom event and then specify how the light should react? Could be something simple like when a call is active the lights come on very dim? Maybe a 3rd party app someone did?
6. The Razer Phone 2 (and 1) has HUGE speakers in the top and bottom, so I have been living with pretty big bezels. The Nothing has the same size but the phone is almost 100% screen. If I need to go to the bottom and press a back button or something, I cannot reach anymore like on the Razer. Is there a way to add some virtual bezels on Android?
7. I really hate this "notch" or "camera bump". It is a bit of the same as number 6, but can I remove it completely, so the top of the screen where the camera is won't be used at all? The whole line, effectively adding more bezel here too.
I am probably picky, but I have used my phone in a specific way for my whole life, and I am not really good with changes. Also I think a phone should adapt to my needs, and I shouldn't adapt to it.
Thanks for reading and hopefully helping
To be honest, sounds like the Nothing Phone isn't the right device for you.
I like to know the answer to question 1 too.

1. There is an option to turn this feature off under Display->Lock Screen called Lift to show lock screen.
2. Don't know, but you should try using the Nova Launcher.
3. Don't know, but you should try using the Nova Launcher.
4. Very niche use case, you can try to search some root methods.
5. There is root app which can control the light you can try that.
6. and 7. There should be some root apps or magisk modules which allows to do that.
To 2: (I dont know if this works on NothingOS since im on Paranoid Android. But both are very near to stock, maybe it works for you or for others.) I disabled that tap to activate setting and am using fingerprint while screen is off. This can also act as a quick look for notifications, for that i tap where the fingerprint reader is really short so it fails to unlock. This way only the always on display shows up for 3-4 seconds.
Nova wont change anything lockscreen related.
To 5: If you have root, time and like playing around with commands and apps, you can try tasker. Since im on Paranoid Android and the glyphs arent really implemented yet, i made a task that fits my needs perfect.
To your other problems: i think too, the phone should adapt to the user. So i suggest you to wait, i guess there will come roms that are way more customizable.
And maybe a pixel would fit your needings better than this phone because there is a big custom rom scene around.
