Smart screen problem - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've had my Note 3 a week and the smart screen options won't work no more. I have rooted my Note and froze some apps with Titanium backup but nothing that should mess with my smart screen functions. I've turned the option off before but when turned back on nothing happens. The eye icon on the notification bar stays gray and doesn't flash white lime before in any lighting.

Faint Black patches on right edge of screen (brand new tab)

About 4 to 5 of them appear only on right edge (portrait mode) after an hour or so of usage. Can make it go away by toggling screen brightness using Power Control.
Feels like some backlighting circuitry got turned off. Its faint; you won't see it unless you have white background.
Is this a defective screen or just something wrong with my settings?

Yes Keep it on 60% auto.
It's a feature the phone turn the screen off automatically if you hit the power by mistake while the phone in your pocket,that's why if you hide the sensor and turn the phone on,directly it will switch off the screen.
but its not not on auto why its kind flickers in this percent?software issue?

Screen burned?

So, I use a lot the Waze app and today's morning I noticed a "donut" shaped "ghost" on my screen, I tried to think what could be the reason for that and when I opened waze I noticed there's a orange round button on the lower right side of the screen, exactly the same spot the ghost is......
So, my screen is screwed now? There's a way to get rid of it?
Right now is just visible on white backgrounds on medium brightness, I'll try to post a photo later

2nd screen keeps disappearing.

So far I hard reset my phone 2x to get it working because my 2nd screen won't stay on after main screen is off. I do even get notifications. I have the settings to stay on. .. not sure what's going in with phone...even my quick charging stopped working. Miss my note 4

Mine goes off if the phone isn't being used. I think it's normal.

Make sure you're not covering the ambient light sensor on your phone. It's right in the upper left hand corner next to the front camera. (To test, with the main screen off and second screen on, If you cover the sensor with your finger on a normally working V20, after a few seconds the second screen should shut off.)
So my guess is if you're sure your Settings are set up correctly, you probably have a faulty or miscalibrated ambient light sensor on your device that's shutting the second screen off, and you should either find a way to re-calibrate the sensor or get your device replaced.

The time should stay on and the notifications should stay on to tell u that you have a message.

Same here, what's latest update?
Hi man, I've been searching thru forums all day. Basically, I have the same issues, 1. Not fast charging (only usb-charging) 2. Second screen off when screen is off (despite the settings are set not to)
I'm on the edge of hard factory reset with very limited hopes and my ultimate guess is this is a motherboard issue.
Have you been able to fix yours?
Second screen stays off.!
Yesterday, I was working to upgrade the apps, and install some missing bloated apps by LG Electronics ltd. through the web server, i.e. apkmirror and I don't know exactly what happened. My LG V20 (LS997) Second screen stays off just apparently showing with dark ambient display that is useless at all. The display only shows with media contents by setting up with 'More' as well, and not work even all.
Fixed!! I had the same problem when every time I enabled second screen it would disappear. After looking everywhere I was able to fix it by going to the battery saver settings and pressing on the 'battery saver' option under 'power saving'. Then press 'edit mode'. Make sure 'block use of second screen' is unchecked. That should stop it from being disabled.
