It doesn't work for me at all. It worked very well on my old GS3, but even sitting in the exact same place, under the same lighting conditions, it doesn't work, ever, on the S7E.

Face Unlock

Does anybody actually use it?

I used to use it but it only worked 50% of the time so I don't use it. Wish I could tho.

My face is too ugly.
I really think Google has no excuse on this not working. There is a app in the market that worked for this exact same thing, face unlock for the phone AND apps, and I tried that and I found it worked 110% of the time
The face unlock was supposedly designed to work with the front camera on the Galaxy Nexus(which has a higher resolution than ours), but I've had no problems using it on my NS4G. You just need to take several face training shots in different lighting conditions.

I only use it when people request to see it lmao. Then I quickly switch to something else. It doesn't always recognize my face though. I'm never in perfect lighting which makes it worse

Weird light being emitted from proximity sensor? [Video]

http://youtu.be/8qKYJVnUzwI
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.
SwiftKeyed on my Sprint Galaxy SIII...
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.

My LED Flash bulb went out...

Disappointed in the quality. I'm 90% sure it's physically out, but let's see if there's any way to troubleshoot.
Basically, was working fine initially, but it is not something I often use camera/camera flash. I found a thread about the hidden "torchlight" setting so that holding up on the volume when the screen is off turns on the light of X amount of seconds. It was working fine, but then yesterday I saw that it wasn't working.
I didn't think much of it, maybe some app I downloaded caused a conflict. But I just tried it with the camera flash and other flashlight apps and I get no light at all.
Any suggestions? Or am I going to have to deal with VZW.
Had the same problem. Camera flash and flashlight app stopped working. Tried different apps no help. Rebooted the phone and all is working now. Mine is still stock, not rooted

That did it, thanks. Still wonder why this happened though
Idk but don't get me wrong I came from a Note2 to the Note 3 and I absolutely love this phone but there's quite a few little bugs I've noticed. We definitely need a software update! Idk if u guys experienced it yet but a few times now I had all my apps that were in folders I made just get completely thrown out of them. At first I thought it was just with 3rd party launchers but then it happened once with TW too. I am not rooted either.

I believe there has been a small software update to the Canadian and European note 3's. We should get that soon enough. Overall though a great phone

Haptic feedback randomly stops working until reboot

Randomly my haptic feedback stops and won't come back until I reboot. Anyone else have this issue?
Yes. It's annoying. Don't understand why. Also my apps well randomly not be available. I have to uninstall and reinstall. Super frustrating

Mine all of a sudden went super weak. I have it turned up all the way in the settings. Not sure what's going on.

I feel like Samsung phones are RPG based and they only have a certain amount of points to use so they take the IR Blaster and add the SD slot back, they add water resistance and locked the boot loader. Why can't they just give without taking?

This happens to me as well. Is this a software issue? I have an international version, though.

S8 iris scanner changes screen brightness

Hi all!
I'm having a really annoying problem. At night in a dark room when I try to use the Iris scanner the screen brightness increases. This effectively blinds me so I have to to use the fingerprint scanner instead
Any clues how to use fix this?
Sent from my SM-G950F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I don't think this is a bug I think this is normal so it give your eyes some light for it to scan with
It's an infra red scanner. Doesn't need light

does no one else have this issue?
Same issue with me. It's annoying but doesn't bother me that much. I just use the fp sensor instead.
Exact same issue, so annoying. Especially in the morning when I just woke up.
