Hello
I replaced my Galaxy note 3 screen, everything is working good. But it seems I lost the brightness. It is on a high brightness and does not go down, even when I put auto. I need to lower the brightness, because of saving batteri and for a better reading to my eyes.
Do you have any solution? Is it a hardware or software issue?

Which connections do you mean? Are There any solutions to fix it?
Was the replacement an original Samsung? If not, many third party replacements don't support auto brightness.

I think it wasn't an original Samsung. But are there any way to make it support or fix the problem?
You could look for apps in the play store that might help.
Did you try a factory reset of the phone?

But if I use an app it will also use my battery, I am right?
No actually I didn't try a factory reset, should I do that?
I don't know how much battery power the app will use. When ever I had to replace a screen, I just looked for a phone with broken internal components and a working screen.
Try a factory reset but make sure you have a backup of your data.

I just factory reset from recorvery menu, nothing changed, the same problem
Have you tried contacting the seller and asking for assistance?
I can't think of anything else to suggest.
Are you sure you not covered the light sensor. Maybee forgotten to remove the protection foil. The light sensor is beside the front camera. Is the front canera working?

Both the light sensor and front camera are working
Have the same issue with samsung s3, Everything works fine except the brightness won't budge, the light sensor is working fine. I checked with sensors multitool and it responds so there is no question of sensor being blocked or damaged.
I agree that with 3rd Party replacement Screen, Samsung just doesn't want to work, I would have gone for another device for the price I paid for the replacement display but I didn't thought of it at that time. anyways, Samsung sells crap, I have seen so many users having issues with their displays, even the newer ones. I have stopped investing in Samsung anymore, lost trust, feels like been betrayed with the one that I fell in love.
Auto brightness often doesn't work with any 3rd party screens on any phone.

Check to see if glove mode is ON. That can cause Z2 to behave like that.

Flat surface? Seriously? This is a disappointment! Mine did it not only in surface but always and everywhwre
Also guys has anyone else has the power button and the volume buttons more pressed inside than normal but working like normal
Some other xperias i saw have their power button more out than mine! And when u press it it makes a clicking sound mine doesnt make that clicking sound
Is it normal?
My screen works that way too..I can use the screen by hovering only I think it's like this because you can use it with different odjects like a pencil, the headphone's jack, etc..

Are you using a screen protector. As using a tempered glass screen protector would solve 80-95% of the problem, as it increases the distance between the actual screen the touch surface. thus, making it less sensitive and smooth.

You need to change the values of the touchscreen controller file. Do you have root?

Hi everyone,
I've just got my new N6P and I found out that whenever I make phone calls the screen turns black and unresponsive until about 10 seconds after the call is ended. I can end the call with the power button and after locking and unlocking the phone the screen goes back to life.
I've read a lots of thread in this forum talking about screen protector causing this problem, but I have no screen protectors installed.
I also tried cleaning my phone very well and some other suggested workarounds: install Google Fit; disable ambient display; disable daydream; disable adaptive brightness. None of them worked.
Finally, I tried installing some apps to verify the behavior of the proximity sensor, but all of them just show that the proximity sensor measure 0cm of distance; of course there's absolutely nothing covering it.
In your opinion, is that a software problem or a hardware problem? Should I RMA my phone ASAP?
Thanks

Try reflash system if you think it's software (you'll have to unlock your bootloader so its recommended to backup your internal storage.)
But to me it sounds like its an hardware issue

Yes it is. What you're experiencing is most likely a hardware issue but it's worth a try. For the record, even if you left your bootloader unlocked it wouldn't matter, having an unlocked bootloader has no effect on the warranty with a Nexus device. If you need instructions on flashing the factory images I have a detailed guide here:

Thanks for your answers guys. I'll flash my N6P and let you if my problem will be solved.
I asked the store which sold me the N6P and they told me to return the phone without any software modification, so I'm not attempting to reflash it.
Thanks anyway for your help.
Do u have a screen protector on? Some don't have the correct cutouts for the sensor and that makes it read 0.
I have a fairly thick tempered glass screen protector with no cut outs where the sensor is located and it works perfectly. I use Wakeup Touch Nexus which uses the sensor and it works well. Sounds like a hardware issue to me.

As far as I know all screen protectors that cover the glass affect the sensor. Take it off and I bet u it'll work fine. I went through two screen protectors before I got one with the cutout.

He said it's already working perfectly.
Can you try to reboot to safe mode and then try again? Sometimes its just 3rd party apps that are causing issues likes this.
Hello All,
I have a huge problem with my screen. This one is blinking, Color are weird and I have a line on the top of the screen not moving. So I really that's a screen problem. and Even when I'm in TWRP , I see on the bottom that there is the screen blinking with a lot of color. It's like when you filming your screen with a camera.
Ok I fall few times but it had always a Spigen TPU and the screen has not strachs , nothing.
The problem is that I've already rooter and instal TWRP but it's cleary a problem with the screen but my Know Warranty is at 1 now
Can you help? Maybe if I go back to a stock Firmware, how can make it look more like the standard stock firmware and try to make it repair?
with a little chance?
Can you help pleasE?
Thanks!
This is obviously a hardware problem depending on in which country you are you might want to try to send it in for repair I don't think that the warranty expired because you rooted it can you send us a video showing the problem? Also why do you think the problem occurred? Did you drop the device?
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
I rooted yes and the flag is at 1.
I've now restore from ODIN official Samsung Release and bootloader so everything is normal.
I drop it but it was protected and the screen is not broken and there is not even a little stractch .
Do you think they will refuse to repair the screen cause of that? It's clearly a problem of screen.
Not so much but like that. On the bottom. Color are weird. And on the top there is a bar whithout Pixels.
Why have you posted your video as Galaxy S3 video problems on your video on the Galaxy S7 Edge forum? And yes, I'm pretty sure that is a S3 phone you are showing us and not an S7 Edge like you think it is.
It's not a S3 I have a S7 I'm just showing that I have almost the same symtoms on my S7
Can't be much help but it sounds a lot like what has happened to mine, but my display has completely gone now, I've had my phone sent of but they just came back saying it was water damaged and not covered under warranty! Let me know how you get on though! Good luck

It probably depends on the region, but that is clearly a hardware failure due to the drop, which has nothing to do with software. So they should repair it.

SO when people said that you lost warranty when you change the bootloader, if it's clearly a problem of Hardware and not software, they can't refuse it in warranty?

At least inside EU, when a failure is a hardware failure and not related to software, they must repair it.

Maybe it has something to do with the modification you do on the phone. Any app you install. Try a brand new clean on stock and see if it still happens

Hey guys,
My Oneplus 5 is working fine without issues but when I make a phone call and have the phone up to my face on almost every call the speaker phone ends up going on by itself. I think this is because the screen is turning on even though the phone is up to my face which would probably be the proximity sensor. It might be worth noting that i use the phone on my left ear as I am a lefty. Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone know a solution to this problem?
Thanks!

No I'm not using anything but a cheap gel back protector.
I have the same problem. But I thought the screen was turning on because of double tap to wake .
Same issue here, I even started a thread about it weeks ago. Seems like there must be a dodgy batch of sensors.
I'm going to send mine back under warranty once I can get my 6o back from my daughter so I have a backup phone.

Hi
i got 2 brand new S8 G950FD and i got the same problem with both
tge magnetic sensors "compass" keeps losing calibration.
this becomes very annoying when using Google maps onfoot everything is upside down .
recalibrating the sensor is always successful but for some reason it doesn't stick for long even when using high accuracy location settings
I'm not sure if the problem is with Google maps compatibility with the S8 or with the sensor itself
anyone having the same issue ?
does the calibration rest automatically when going to the sensor app (*#0*#) ?(even though I'm going to the sensor app becomes the map is upside down )
thanks in advance

My FD doesn't play nice with one of my cases, as it has some metal in the back of the case. Compass won't even calibrate when the case is on. Makes sense though.

make since but i don't have any metal in the case, and it does calibrate
I've got exactly the same problem. I never thought that a protective case could be the problem, however, I'm using the Samsung original clear case and it does recalibrate...but it's very annoying because you can't rely on your compass, it will abandon you without warning.
Has anybody found a fix to that? Is it hardware related?
