Anyone else experienced this?
Every time i pick up the device my S6 edge+ vibrates for no apparent reason. Is it supposed to do this?
i thought it was because i was touching the screen however I've made point of picking the phone up without touching the screen and it still vibrates?
Any ideas?
EDIT: i solved my own problem... it was the "smart" notification setting that was turned on.......

I've noticed something strange happening to my phone if it's been warmed up by the sun for a few minutes - the screen stops working.
Noticed this the other day sitting in a cafe and left my phone face-down on the table (but in the sun). I picked it up to check out something and couldn't get the screen to work at all or respond to any touches. The phone felt a bit warm so I let it cool down in the shade and only then did it respond.
I also noticed this a few days later when the phone was near a window inside my home and had been in the sun for a while. Same problem and same fix - phone had to cool down before it responded.
Have also noticed this if the phone has been charging for a while and gets warm. Wondering whether it might be a CPU issue but excluded this possibility as the phone wakes up and lock screen button is still animated.
After further experimentation...noticed that a few quick taps on the power button seems to wake the phone up.
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this?
Move to the UK, it's cold.
Hello, My G1 has just suffered a problem, i was scrolling down a web page and the screen faded out like it had lost power but the backlight was still on, the keys lit up and it still could make the trackball clicking noise when you moved it. I took out the battery and left it for 5 minutes and rebooted my phone and the screen turned on for about 3 seconds and faded out like before but it did boot into android as I heard the notification/startup sound. I think that the screen has burnt out but im not shore so has anybody had this problem before and/or might know how to fix it
Just some more infomation, If the screen dies and I leave it for a few minutes, when I unlock it or slide the screen up, the screen works for a few seconds but then fades. Also the fading looks like the screen lost power or like its losing pixels
From my experience with phone hardware this doesnt look like screen problem, but rather the lamp driver in the motherboard. the only way to narrow down is test the motherboard /screen with another phone.
If this is the case, it might require servicing the backlight driving circuit, which by far requries soldering/desoldering some components in motherboard.

had the same problem its a hardware issue. tmobile sent me a new phone no questions asked
Thanks for the replies, it seems that it has fixed its self as I've been using it for about 5 hours and no problems so far, I'm using it right now to type this, if the problem persists I will try and fix it or just buy a new one
After hanging up from a phone call the top left corner of my screen was really bright. There were two vertical lines down the screen and the screen was transparent and flickering. I could still see my home screen and the screen was functional. I restarted the phone and it was still acting up. Only after turning the phone off for a few mins did it stop. Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas on what would cause it? I haven't had any issues with the phone, no drops or anything. Currently running aokp with matrix kernel.

I had this issue too. My phone just arrived today. In my case the problem occurred after power cycling the phone (trying to get the WiFi to connect.. grrrr) The boot process was fine but once I got to the launcher my screen was flickering like a strobe light. I tried to power off and back on and it still happened. I didn't give it several minutes like you did so I'm not sure if it would have gone away. Since I hadn't really configured the phone yet I simply did a factory reset and it was fine. Seems to be a software issue. I hope it doesn't happen again but if it does I'll see if just leaving it off for a while helps. I hope so because I don't want to have to factory reset all the time!

I've actually had no luck finding anyone reporting this issue, but it's one that is really starting to bug me...
Sometimes, when I turn the phone on, rather than the traditional lock screen, the camera screen that you can ordinarily get to from the lock screen shows up...but it's not the full camera screen; it fills up like 3/4 of the screen, and the buttons have no functionality. Almost as if I had swiped over to the camera, but it froze about halfway through opening it.
I have tried to discern a pattern here, but there doesn't appear to be one...whether I turn on the screen with the power button or knock-on, it still happens randomly. I thought for a while that it only happened when I locked the phone with an app running on the screen, but that proved to be incorrect as well.
Like I said, having no luck finding anyone else reporting this. Has happened since I got the phone, even after updating. I've got a feeling its just a glitch I'm not going to do anything about, but if anyone has had any luck making this stop, I would greatly appreciate some advice!
Anyone else experiencing issues with the "keep screen turned off" feature after upgrading to nougat? I noticed that after upgrading, this feature stopped working. It was working fine prior to updating to nougat. I'm on Rogers S7 edge.
I've tried factory resetting my phone but the feature is still not working. I've tested the sensor with the test menu and the sensor seems to be working, so it seems like it's a software issue? Any one else experiencing this or know how to fix it?
Thanks
Yes. I too am getting this issue with mine. Brand new... perhaps a couple of weeks old.

I have the same issue. It fixes itself after a restart but after a while the "keep screen turned off" fails again.

Yes, me too. Anyone found a solution to this?
Same problem here. Isn’t there an app or something that will fix this, even if it requires root?
Is this where while on a call, you press the power button and the screen turns back on? If so, I'm getting that too.
Same issue after Nougat on Galaxy S6 Edge. My better half's S7, too. Any news on this?
I also have that issue.
It's a big problem for me because I basically can't use my phone in my car any more.
On outgoing or incoming calls the damn screen turns on and keeps on
and after a short while I accidently press one of the on-screen buttons and my call is aborted or muted.
(I own a Samsung Galaxy S6)
I too have this issue. I am using the lockscreen until Samsung fixes this.
