[Q] Unable to minimize video controller - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Having a quite strange issue. Video starts with full screen but if I single tap on screen anytime, it brings the video control bar which is normal but this damn things stays there doesnt go back so I can enjoy full screen. Tried disabling smart pause but no use.

N7 Not Recognizing Touch EXCEPT Notification and Navigation Bars

I have three users configured and at times the tablet seems to lock up. But I can still pull down the notification drawer and setting drawer. I can touch the back, home, or multitask softkeys, or slide up for Google now.
But no matter where I navigate to, the N7 does not register touches in the "screen" area.
I have found that pulling down the setting drawer and tapping the user to "logout" and then logging back in immediately fixes the issue. Also toggling sleep/wake button and logging back in also fixes it.
Is this a known issue? Is this multiuser, software or hardware specific? Any solutions?
(I read back through a couple weeks of posts but didn't see this issue)
--- UPDATE------
Just happened again. But I left it alone for a minute, picked it back up and it was working fine. Perhaps this is app lag. The notification and navi bar work because they're systems but the screen stops taking input while it lags....(just a thought, I don't know how that stuff might work)
BTW I have a 32 GB N7, it is not rooted, and is fully up to date running 4.2.1

Im having the same issue with mine..just got it afew days ago and it just started about an hour ago. I think its a screen issue cause now it keeps coming up with the menu to change wallpapers without me touching it. And its been locking up alot. Might have to RMA it.

RMA it? Is yours rooted? Do you have multiple users?

Do you have an otg cable? Try connecting a mouse to it when it does this and see if it recognizes mouse actions.

This is not a question it is an issue with the device. This is appropriate for general.

Damn. Well maybe get a log cat next time it happens. Maybe there will be something there to show why it stopped working.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I'll have to learn how to get a logcat. But I was able to recreate the issue and get a video. I could only get it to affect settings and the play store but I've had this in the launcher before too. I don't think you can hear but tapping the screen was causing the touch sound.

No one has had this issue? I've only experienced it in Settings and PlayStore on me first and second user, nothing on my third user. Also noticed a litte lag on the homescreen too.
In the video you may be able to hear the touch feedback sound. The screen is recognizing taps but not doing anything. Sleep/Wake fixes the issue until you leave the app...
Guess I'll need to exchange my N7 and hope to get one without this issue.
Why did this get moved to Q&A??
Are Issues not discussed in General?
[SOLVED]
I was using APP LOCK on User #3 and that caused what seems like an overlay that prevented touch on users 1&2.
I sent this issue to the apps support. And will try to find a free app locker that is milti-user friendly.

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.

GREEN TINT IN S4 i9500

I am using my s4 from past 20 days but today i noticed whenever i open keyboard to type something a slight green tint occurs on the display it is very visible while using the phone in dark environment with zero brightness and with higher brightness levels its not that clear but still it is there ... i got rid of smearing issue courtesy screen adjuster app but this issue is bothering me .... anyone else having the same issue plz let me know.

Haven't noticed this on my I9505, try using another keyboard
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
I'm having this issue and it's doing my head in!
Every time I bring up the on screen keyboard the hue changes slightly to greeny tone. Then back again when keyboard goes.
I'm surprised not more people mention it.
The easiest way I found to see it was ten brightness right down, go to a dark room and open play store. Touch on the search bar to bring up recent searches and keyboard, then hit the back button, then touch touch bar again, then the back button. Keep doing this so your toggling keyboard on and off and watch the whole screen shift tone.
I'd love to know if it's an issue across the board or if only a few phones are affected.

I am facing the exact issue bro but i hope it will be a software related issue but i am also worried that may be we have defective handsets because very few people raised voice against this issue so it means that most users are not suffering from this issue.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
Is this for the stock keyboard? I'm using SwiftKey though.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
I tried with other keyboard and its still there
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
It's got nothing to do with the keyboard.
If you watch a movie on you tube (black and white is best) put to full screen and wait for slider to dissappear, then tap screen to bring it back. The hue changes to green!
It's whenever the screen has to bring something up like a keyboard, menu, slider etc.
Come on guys please can you test this so we know it's a problem on all handsets like smearing or if it's a hardware fault in a few handsets.

Lol there is no 'auto tinting' option. If you mean adjust screen tone, it makes no difference.

This happens on kernels based on MDN below,
anything above MDM the tint issue is fixed.
On ME2 firmware and I experience the same issue. It feels kinda like a 'flicker'.
I have same keyboard tint problem too and its bugging me. Is it a sw or hw issue? Can it be fixed?

mostly all people have this problem & I was worried too about this. But update your phone. you should get a new update notification by now.! I already updated and it fixes this problem. and the smearing issue as well. And then you can also move your apps to sd!!!!!:victory:
Hi, just got my replacement after having some overheating problems and noticed this problem on the new one. I'm pretty sure is the screen, and not a software problem. Mine looks yellowish/greenish on the bottom. I downloaded Screen Test app and notice the problem. I have some pics showing the color differences along the screen. I'll go for another replacement tomorrow.

Touchscreen issue

Hi Guys
I seem to be suffering from a issue where the touchscreen has a dead spot.
Now I had an earlier issue that caused all sorts of issues with screen responses - ultimately ending in no response unless I hit the power button to lock and then unlock.
That problem lasted about a week and then stopped - my thinking is that there was an app update that solved it.
Now however the issue has resurfaced (seemingly after other app updates) but it is a dead spot roughly where the first notification would be on the notification draw. Any ideas as how best to find out the cause of the issue, or a fix?
I've included screen shots showing the touch trace.
Cheers for any help

I can't help you but with some custom rom there can be a bug with it until I make some setting changes to the Nav Bar, but otherwise I don't know.

What I don't get is why it went away after the first time.
I don't really want to factory reset if I can help it.
Is there a way to look at an update history for all your apps? Then I can pinpoint the offender.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I've found a solution.
After factory reset and safe mode not helping I came across a comment in another thread.
You have to Disable HW Overlays and Force GPU Rendering. Now its not perfect and can have an occasional fit but does seem to solve the issue

I'am having the same problem aswell. It is really annoying. My phone is just 2 days old.
Edit: I have contacted to samsung and they toldme to bring the phone to a service center. I've been told I have a rigt to request a new phone or refund. I couldnt decide what I want to do. Because I really like this phone but there are alot of problems whit it. Apart from that screen problem. My phone freezes and restarts itself ramdomly and there is a problem with wifi connectivity
