Try drawing "∞ shapes" in the air with your phone to calibrate it.

Or maybe stop living in Australia.

I've had this problem with all androids I've owned, all round the world. Figure 8 movements will prompt the arrow to point in another - seemingly random - direction. Do it 20 or do times and eventually it will point roughly the right way. Very evident when navigating around on foot.

Smart scrolling feature apparently isnt working... I've noticed when I'm browsing that small green eye does not show up on the screen...
Is it normal or its the settings issue... Although I do see that little eye (greyed out) on top on my screen all the time ... It changes to white at times and then turns back to grey ....
Can anyone plz tell me what to do....
Thanks

Are you using the original browser and not , for example Chrome etc. ?
When you see the green eye, it will work.
Smart scrolling works better if you actually move your head up and down, not just your eyes.
The other mode is , you have to tilt the phone back or forward to scroll.

Have you actually enabled all the functions within the SmartScroll settings?

I believe so... But some how at times it says to enable smart scroll enable at least one of the relavent functions.... Very strange... I believe all functions r enabled... More over when I try to test this function under help, it still doesn't do anything....

One of two possible reasons:
1. The sensor doesn't detect your eyes due to low light. Good light conditions are crucial.
2. Software or hardware fault

Yes... All features are activated.... Still no luck..
At times when I switch it off and switch it on again it says....
To enable Smart Scroll, enable at least one of the relevant function...
Strange....

Smart Scroll on Samsung Galaxy S4 lets you scroll a web page via tilting your Head or Device. The camera sees your eyes and then you can move your Head or* your device to start scrolling. Follow these steps:
*
1.Go to Setting
2.Go to My Device tab
3.Tap on and open “Smart Screen”
4.Tap on the actual words “Smart Scroll” and make sure it is enabled
5.There, you have 2 options
************* a.Tilting head: you need to move your head to scroll
************* b.Tilting device: you need to move your device to scroll

Mate,
It's still not working... By the way is it in any way connected to any samsung apps??? The reason being that I have disabled some of the Samsung apps (which I thought were a bloatware)...
For your info, my front camera seems to be working fine... No problems what so ever...
By the way is there any way that I can check specifically if its a software or hardware issue??? if yes, plz let me know exactly what I should be check with regards to hardware/software...
Thanks in advance

Marhaba. It uses the other sensors to detect eyes. Actually an infrared led light. I believe it wont work with light behind you.
Anyways in the settings did you touch the area to the left of the on button? There is a deeper menu there.
Finally iyit seems like a siftwarw bug. Do you ever see the notification icon turn white from gray to indicate tracking?

@ MODS......
Please close this thread. ... I figured what the problem was....
[SOLVED]
It was due to the app LightFlow.... When u enable it in Phone Settings under Accessibility, u lose certain featues rather I should say they stop working....

It's either Knox or if you're on T-Mobile it's Lookout. Is the shield a gold color or is it green?
Something weird is going on with my Nexus 4, I woke up this morning and all my icon locations are back to front! What I mean is up the top where the symbols on the right hand side of the screen where battery, reception and Wifi symbols usually are, they're now on the left side and the 3 buttons on the bottom are inverted and back to front. I'll upload a couple of screen shots to help explain.
As you can see also when I go into settings everything is opposite too.
Even scrolling through my apps I have got to swipe from left to right!
Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Have u tried simply rebooting it/
Also, is ur N4 rooted?
Yes I have tried rebooting it several times and no it's not rooted. Also, the most annoying thing with this problem I forgot to mention is the 3 buttons on the bottom are not responsive either. I've turned on "show touches" in developer settings and it seems that the very bottom of the screen is not registering touches. If I want to use the buttons I have to flip screen to landscape and move the buttons to the top of the screen.

Maybe it's an accessibility option? Check in Settings>Accessibility.
If found any seem to solve your issue, the most sure way to solve it is to flash a factory image. Check out efrants guide.

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
Hello everyone!
I bought my gn3 about a week ago and now i noticed that the lighting isn't even????
Did i damage it or note 3's have this issue?
its visible when the brightness is set to about 30% and on a gray background. its most visible on the left side of the screen (like a slightly brighter tint or something)
can anyone check it on their devices as well for me?
Thanks!
Edit : it's not only on the left side it's all over the screen. when I open the phone app I can see the background isn't one color but scales of dark grey and I think it's supposed to be black.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
It's like that and there's really nothing you can do.
Except trying to find another N3 that doesn't have that, or at least in a smaller scale, but good luck with that.
And next time, do some Google searching...The phone is now more than one year old, so any other problems you encounter, you definitely wont be the first one.

That definitely isn't normal. I would exchange it.
I see. Well I will try to replace it and see if they are going to accept. Because it's only visible in few lighting conditions. (it also annoys me a lot)

Hm, this looks more like Light Bleed. That does warranty attempting to replace it, it shouldn't have that. (Although it often does in a lot of devices)
Well. What's the cause of that? Is it some loose screw?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
So I was thinking of replacing it. But before that I made a research about light bleeding. They say it's pretty common. So, I'm afraid if I replace it I get a worse one. What do you guys think?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
It's a display problem. Samsung will replace it for free.
I see. But what if the new unit has the same issue? Do I keep replacing?

I don't think you will have the same problem. They have to replace the display, if also your new display will be broken, you are a very unlucky person

I have no idea where you're from, but there's usually more than one Samsung Service Centre in a country.. You can find the addresses on the Samsung website under Contact.
I just called them and oh gee. It's a 30 minute drive. I'm too lazy to drive for 30 minutes. Also I have exams. So maybe next week? xD
Bare with me guys
