Automatic display brightness

A friend of mine got a nexus s and his automatic display brightness doesn´t seem to work until today. His device is not rooted or has a custom rom, so I can´t test, if it´s an software bug or not.
His firmware is android 4.0 since more than 3 months.
Is there a possibility to check this issue? With an other app or something? Sending back his device is an option, he want to choose as his last possibility.

He used it until more than 3 months without any problems. That´s why I don´t get why it shouldn´t work anymore.

Should be a software bug. Ask him if he would do a factory reset.

He did a factory reset and now it seems to work again. But he also mentioned that the display is a bit darker than before. But even though it is, he must live with it

Lowest value is lower in ICS then it was in GB. IMHO crap, but it can be changed in framework-res.apk.

[Q] Bugs found on Note 3

Bugs have been found on the GALAXY NOTE 3 LTE SM-N9005 with firmware of N9005XXUBMI7, anyone have the following 3 issues?
1. Writing in message with S-Pen will not convert the text to words. (Stop working after 30 Sept)
2. Scrapbooker unable to capture the YouTube video link instead it capture an image. (Stop working after Youtube Update)
3. Reading Mode doesn't dim the screen to a warmer (slight orange) tone just like the GALAXY Note 8 after adding the application into the enabled list.
Reading mode: Select which applications will use reading mode. In reading mode, the device will dim the display which helps protect your eyes when reading at night.
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA0D25W_5Wc (source from Youtube)
Update: Samsung said that a new software update will be released soon to rectify issue 1 and 2, no news on issue 3.

I thought you found insects in the screen or something.

How you know is confirm there is a new update?? is here any link or something?

I'd also like to know where Samsung has publicized a bug-fix update, if you could post a link.
Also, would an update of this kind still have to be validated by carriers in the US (possibly months of waiting), or would it be direct to the users?

Fixed!

If found two bugs on two devices. I replaced one to find the new one had the same issues!!!
1. Screen brightness changes regardless if the user has ALL the settings turned off. I think it has something to do with the heat of the screen?
2. When recording video in low light conditions and connected to WIFI occasional purple lines will appear horizontally on the screen every now and then
I have now taken my second Note 3 back and refunded all together. I will think about buying another when these are fixed. TBH i can live with the camera issue but the screen brightness problem i cannot ignore!

I have a bug with my Note 3 with the "WatchON" app.
It keeps crashing on load, just black screen then it says "Unfortunately Samsung WatchON has stopped working"
It worked the first time I loaded it when I first got my phone bot not anymore.
Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

ive had 3 .. note 3's. att. None of them had that issue.may want to disable app and clear cache\data under app management
Each phone has used it on 2 tv's and cable box's and a samsung dongle.

I tried and it didn't work.
Maybe I should take it back to the Samsung store and ask them for a fresh new phone instead of this defective crap since I have warranty.

Actually I got it working now, had to uninstall delete and re-install.
This App is complete crap, it doesn't let you exit without forcing it to shut down.

I'm on my 2nd note 3 and the first one didn't have this issue. The replacement I got has been having this issue since day 1. The only solution I've found is to turn Watch On off in the application manager. I'm hoping this is just a software bug and not a problem with the phone itself. It's strange how I didn't have this problem with the first note 3 so I'm kinda scratching my head on this one.

That's what I figured. Waiting till my first 14 days are up before I root. Turning the app off is a good enough fix till then.

Turning it off fixed it for me also. You would think all of this bloatware would be well tested before the phones release. I am wondering if the app updated and the new update caused the problem. I am planning on downloading a new IR Remote App anyway. On Verizon

Handwriting icon disappeared

Hi all,
Wondered you guys run across this problem? The handwriting icon disappeared from the keyboard after a few days.
Once I do a reboot, then it is back to where it suppose to be.

Has it happened again? Or just once and fine since reboot?

I found this question at Lyn forum. It's that yours?

It happened again after restart; but not straight away. The last time it happen after around 2 days I restarted.. So it is a bit to re-produce. Now I just wait and see when it will happen again

Mine works fine without the wipe.

I was just sharing my experience as I just got the phone the day before. I had the phone all set up it was working fine on Android 6.0.1. I upgraded to the beta for nougat Android 7.0 and immediately my phone kept rebooting every 30 seconds or little bit longer. Once I realized the data I have not had any issues at all.

I had massive restart loop every 30 seconds yesterday. Have been troubleshooting. Ultimately had to rewipe again, to get it to work.
Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

I downloaded the app this afternoon, did the registration, went into my setting and checked for an update and it downloaded nougat. The one thing I have found is that Bluetooth sucks! Seriously my music breaks up with it just in my pocket and I'm wearing Bluetooth headphones. Then I took it out of my pocket and put it on the counter and I can't get 5 feet away from the phone and the music breaks up again. Prior to the update I could go to the gym, put my phone down and be a good 40 feet away and it would still work fine.

Is there a way to keep the phone's screen from coming on when a text message comes in?
Sent from my SM-G935P using XDA-Developers mobile app

Thanks to this thread I installed the beta Nougat OS.
Nothing bad so far. I did NOT wipe or remove data.
So far, I really like it. The SoTP meter says it's faster. Only thing that doesn't work so far is my Agenda Widget. Love the improved AOD. Battery seems to last a little longer, but not enough experience to say definitively. I did notice that the phone was warm when at 100% this morning. Haven't seen that since the update that stopped us charging to 100% (even though the display said it was).
The options in Settings are better- much better control of notifications.
I'll post more as I discover it.

Is anybody having the issue where the speaker volume is really quiet? Like unusable when watching YouTube.

Sprint users were part of the beta too, so it shouldn't be like rollouts in the past. Although I don't understand why we've been testing 7.0 and the final is supposed to be 7.1.1, unless Sprint stays on 7.0.

If sammy sends them 7.1.1 them that's what we will get. 7.1.1 isn't that much different from 7.0 just a few features added like app menu short cuts which wouldnt take much for them to add in the final release .I really dnt get how beta is over with all bugs not fixed. I personality still have an issue with Youtube videos not working after some time. Notification tones stop working after some time. No factory reset or caches clear has fixed this in the whole beta process.

G955USQU1AQEF Update

Come through my phone last night, mentioned Bixby changes which always scares me. somebody install it first lol

Here you go. Probably has the Bluetooth fixes in tow that they pushed out for other areas of the world amongst the usual security/performance updates.

I’ve installed it. The usual, maybe placebo effect, but it feels smoother. My Antutu score went up about 10K.

Fixed the device being uncertified in Google Play.

There is definitely a performance increase. Much much smoother.

What bothers me is they pushed the May security update. June's security patch was sent out publicly on Monday. WTF.

Think I figured it out. I didn't use my usual troubleshooting steps because I was following everyone else's threads and issues. I neglected to try audio wired as well as with alternate music apps. So after trying several different headphones (wired and bluetooth) as well as various bluetooth speakers, I was able to narrow it down to a specific app that was the issue (Power Amp). I cleared the cache and data for the app and now all is A-OK. Classic case of user error I guess?
