My flash led fluctuates when I take a photo or use it as a flashlight. Anyone else facing the same issue?

Not for me...tried both camera and flashlight.

Yeah I experience this also when I'm recording video while the flash is on.. But it works well when I'm using this on my flashlight app..
I've had the issue before.... I thought I was seeing things cuz of the quick flickerings

Yes I have it too.
I haven't taken any videos with flash but the flashlight does it, sometimes it's steady but I notice it half of the time.
Gosh. Too many problems. I wouldn't have spend this much for a defective phone. I'm disappointed.

Every LED flash does this. There's nothing wrong.
I think you didn't understand. It flickers while using the flashlight or while it's in use. I know that while taking a photo it will flash once for autofocus. I'm not referring to that.

Well clearly, thats not normal. Return it....

It is normal. The LED flash for every phone I've used does the exact same thing, jittering and flickering a little bit when keeping the flash on like when using it as a flashlight. My X10 did the same thing, but it's only slight flickering, nothing major. 100% normal, they aren't meant to be kept on for any large amount of time.
Mine does the same thing if I leave the flashlight on for more than 30 seconds

Hahah mine does the same thing but I suppose it was never supposed to be a flashlight.
I was thinking it was something to do with the quick succession flash it is supposed to deliver normally.

I noticed a weird light being emitted from proximity sensor when I entered the stock Samsung messaging app. It looks like it could be an infrared light coming from the sensor, but it's faintly visible to the naked eye. I thought I would take a video of it to show what I'm talking about. It's more apparent in the video than what you actually see. You can see it yourself in a dark room.
Has this been addressed? Does anybody know why this is happening?
isnt it looking to see if you move the phone to your ear in the messaging app so it can do the call feature?
I noticed this on mine last night. It's not like that right now though
I have the Motorola Atrix and when I use the proximity sensor, it does the same thing, glows a very very dim red, only visible in a dark room. Guessing that's how that sensor works in a generic way.

You have the eye tracking on? I just assumed it was that.

Mine does the same thing. It's for the direct call feature for texting. If you turn direct call off in your motion settings you won't see it anymore.

Doh... I feel silly for posting this now... Well, at least we have some sort of visual proof of it?
Haha no worries dude. Really easy to over look the little things! I was curious when I first saw it on mine as well.

I don't think mine's ever done this before and I've enabled smart stay before.
i have that as well...noticed it a few days ago..didn't think much of it
It's direct call for texting. Really it's anything that uses the proximity sensor. Smart stay uses the front facing camera.

Occasionally, a horizontal or vertical line flashes on the screen very quickly and then disappears. Does anybody else have that? Is it anything to worry about, or does it not matter? Is it likely that a software update will fix this?
Thanks for any replies!
First, are you running a custom kernel or stock?

I have not rooted my device. I have flash installed and Iplayer, but apart from that all my apps come directly from the Google appstore...

Damn it! I was seeing this on occasion and hoped that if I just thought I was crazy I wouldn't have to acknowledge it. Now I see it's not my imagination. It happens only rarely and it's really just a blip, but it is indeed weird. I just unlocked/rooted last night though so I'll have to see if it still happens now...
Always happens to me, really only noticeable on mostly white screens like in xda app.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
First device had this issue, took it back (for many reasons), and have not noticed that little "subliminal" black line anymore.
Happens to me too, so far only seen it in the xda app, and in my browser while waiting for a Page to load that is taking a while.... I'm currently waiting for an exchange because I have a slight screen lift issue, but I doubt it will fix this black line problem, it is probably standard on these things. I guess I can live with it

I get it like once every 10 hours or so and only when using xda app or chrome for some reason.

Yep, I see it with tapatalk. Haven't noticed it with anything else just yet.

I also get it a lot when playing an online chess game. It seems related to the apps used. Don't know what to make of it...

Could it be a memory leak or a GPU rendering issue as some have suggested? Many of us get this on the stock ROM with no developer menu changes.
I notice it too. I thought I was seeing things. It is not serious enough to give a crap though. I just hope it does not evolve into a worse issue.
It probably has to do with spotty Tegra drivers. I noticed it slightly on Chrome, but never on anything else.

I've seen this quite a bit also. Seems most prevalent for me when I'm using the GPS Status & Toolbox app from EclipSim, except in that app the lines are white.
I think you guys are referring to screen tearing. I have seen it a few times to I think in chrome. Pretty sure its not a hardware problem.

I haven't noticed it at all on the nexus. I have had this issue on my tf201 though.

Hmmm... seems this thread should be combined with the other regarding the same issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791281
Yeah I get this too I'm hoping its a software issue it doesn't happen often but I seem to only notice it on tapatalk or the Facebook app. I haven't seen it on games or videos.

I get that in Tapatalk once in a while. I would guess its a coding thing and not a device defect.

Doesn't work for me either. Yet another disappointment with this phone.
Works just fine for me.

the default player "Video"... you must turn on the smart pause on smart screen settings.
Also, make sure there's sufficient light for the sensor to pick up your eye movement.
I finally got this pause thing to work, had to be directly under a light for it to work, so stupid! How many people watch video with a light shining on their face??

How is the phone suppose to track you when it can't see you?
Swyped from another galaxy
hmmm, the hand movement over the off-screen phone works even in a dark room. I think it uses the same camera to catch the hand.
anyway, the pause works, but as said - only in bright environment
By the way, the eye Pause works for YouTube app as well

I hold my hand covering the camera to reset the current face when it cannot detect. I also find it hard to get it working flawlessly.

It's possible the screen may be bad. Do you notice the tint anywhere else besides while watching video?
Not really, ive seen videos on it...when I see the menu the green goes away...when the menus gone and its just video, it comes back

Does it happens on all videos?? Or Only on dark/grey Backgrounds?? I had a defective s4 and i looked green at the bottom of the screen. Got it replaced and this one looks fine.

ah right, yeah i tried that dont see much of a difference, would the camera MOD help?
It would depend on which Mod. I always suggest making a Nanroid and then try flashing several Camera mods till you find on what works to your liking.

The camera is rather annoying on this device.
Camera MODs will improve the camera; It focuses faster, removes the "lag" in the viewfinder and massively improves the AI mode. Unfortunately, the "painted" effect is still there when you zoom in but it does make a noticeable difference.
Shame, because the camera is the only thing letting this device down.
Here's the mod that I applied - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548974
I couldn't get any of the files to work but the dev recently posted this test version which worked for me - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48688463&postcount=703
