Recently when i wanted to use the hotspot, I got a notification for high temperature. Funny thing is when I touched the back of the phone, it's not hot at all. Is it possible that my phone's temperature sensor is damaged? I'm not sure as I've tried checking the temperature sensor with an app from playstore and it's working perfectly fine. Can someone please help me with this?

Is it possible that it might have to do with me blowing the phone with hairdryer to apply skin? I once blew it til it becomes quite hot to the touch, and notification pop up to remove some apps from the background. but when i enable hotspot from settings, doesn't have the notification. idk whether it's software bug or something else.
Maybe it's your rom, if rooted...

My phone lights up for no reason.. I always have it in Android but never in Winmo, and its not build,rom or radio related. Anyone an idea why this is happening?

What lights up? screen? notification light? hardkeys?
Well let's see:
-Never in Winmo: that's mean your hardware works
-It's not build (Android build), rom(WM rom), or radio related. if you said so, there is nothing else to take the fall for.
Conclusion: ghost.
yes a ghost, now let's get real enough fooled around.
My backlight jumps on every now and then, in android, I'm currently using the disire HD rom, but I noticed it on other roms too, that my screen lights up for no reason at all. I woke up a few times when my phone led up, don't know what is causing it.. when charging it does it, I don't know if it does it when it's in my pants, I hope not, but I'm not sure, that could cause battery drain.

+1 on this one.. I have the same issue, and I don't think it's because of battery drain, because I've had it light up both when the battery is outside the notification-range (even 70%+) and when the phone is charging.
I have thought that it might be related to wifi falling out and temporarily connecting to mobile and back, but I have yet to see evidence of this.
Hopefully someone else have this "problem" (more an annoyance really ) and that we can get some more data on when or why it's happening.
It is not because of wifi because I disable it at night
Have you think of any apps that you installed can trigger that?
Setcpu maybe? Otherwise I have no idea

And you could also try using another kernel like hastarin. He always includes this file.

How can I set my device to not turn on the screen autmatically?
It annoys me that the screen is turned on every 30 minutes or so, and then needs one or two minutes to turn off again
What is this good for anyways?
Yes 7.7 wakes on ALL system event like battery full, annoying as hell. No working solution yet. Grrr...

Try using smart screen off, it keeps your screen off when the proximity sensor is activated like in a case or bag.

"Smart Screen Off" is an app you can get in Google Play.

Thanks for your replies! I will try the mentioned app.
Imho this feature should be integrated in stock touchwiz.
Sure np, however it does drain a bit of battery as the sensor needs to constantly keep detecting any changes. Try the lite version first before going pro.
Smart Screen Off doesn't stop the tablet from waking up on system notification like battery charge completion. Google believes charging completed is most important thing on earth and should make it known as soon as it happened, even when it might be in the middle of night.
Grateful if anyone would tell me how to stop this annoying notification...(i know how to turn off its sound, i just wish to stop it from happaning)

Thought it might be a good idea for all the know early faults to be in one place like the camera zoom fault in video mode etc.
Few guys including me are having issues when using bluetooth. I.e. paired to in car bluetooth. It seems caller cant hear me even thou i can hear them clearly.
Another thing when bluetooth is connected even though you have the loudspeaker option on the phone when pressed it doesnt work. Surely this should be disabled option when connected to bluetooth if it doesnt work anyways?

Could it be related to bt4.0 ?
It could be to do with that. We will have to wait and see when more people connect theres up to there car. Baring in mind the vehicle is fairly new as its a 61 plate merc sprinter 313
Taken from my post at Reddit. Not just faults but also some annoyances.
After 3 days of testing I have a few things that bother me:
When adding any app as a accessibility service (e.g. Lightflow), the Touchwiz Launcher will start telling you where you are right now, e.g. "Homescreen 3 of 5", "Opening folder". Can be fixed by using Apex or removing the app as an accessibility service.
Waking up the phone isn't always instant.
No USB storage mode, only MTP or PTP. You can't use the phone while transferring files.
Boot animations use Samsung's proprietary QMG format --> no custom boot animations for now
While you're in a call, sometimes you can't use your mobile data connection. Wifi works though.
Attaching headset/earphones shows various audio applications that can be launched in the notification area. These apps cannot be customized.
The accuweather widget has a maximum refresh time of one hour. Setting it to anything less than that is not possible. Also, it doesn't always update the current location.

.... and that Accessibility bug has been around a lot longer than the SGS3 - so a fix maybe has to come from Google?

I'd say the non instantaneous lockscreen would be annoying, and MTP would be a real disadvantage. The S3 doesn't allow you to use your phone while in MTP.
I have a Purple tint in the middle the screen . Do you think it Can disappear with an update

That's a known problem with ICS, had it on my Galaxy Nexus too!
Can anyone tell me what the speaker volume is like on the S3?
Also having bluetooth issues. Paired my s3 to a 2 year old toyota RAV4 and the pairing work ok, however poeple can't hear me at all. Got to work this morning and paired with a new Hyundai ix35 and all work ok. Have got my RAV 4 booked in a toyota next week to see if theres a software upgrade for the stereo. I hope this can be rectified...
Ok my Op5 has a pin and fingerprints, also bluetooth was off, so no BT Headset mixup there either.
And still, somehow, while with screen off, charging and laying locked on a table far away from me, it just called my father at 3:40 am...
i only noticed that cause my phone was ringing unexpected, remember its still 3:42 am... and my (very pissed) dad was calling me back, asking me why (the f.) i called him in the middle of the night..
which i clearly didnt.. but when i checked the call log, there was really an outgoing call at 3:40 am lasting 43 sec.
how is that even possible ?
im on OOS 4.5.8
Happened the same to me with my previous phone and it was my smartwatch the problem, in the middle of the night I somehow touched the screen and it called a random favorited contact...
Also do you have perhaps OK Google enabled?
You should turn on pocket mode from settings...

i have absolutely no idea how this is even possible... now i have dialer and contact app into the app locker and removed phone rights from every app who doesn't absolutely needs it.
Dude you seems to have some bloatware which might case such an issue i suggest you check all phone and call permissions and see if any suspicious app using call or phone premission you should turn off this and see if it will happen again

Anti virus on Android is a joke and completely useless. It won't detect anything that could be causing it.
The only way to know for sure is to catch a logcat when it happens. Other then that I would do a full wipe and only install apps from the play store.

I updated my S8 to Oreo a few weeks back (Samsung Experience 9.0) and ever since I have a plethora of problems.
The main one being that charging the device is now a battle...
I seem to have narrowed it down to using a fast charge power brick (2.0A)
I have tried the official Samsung unit and cable supplied with the phone, and good quality 3rd party cables and plugs....nothing works.
The device does not even register the cables existence.
BUT,
If I use a standard plug (< 2.0A), and a none Samsung cable it will charge
If I use a Samsung cable, it does not. Seemingly regardless of plug.
I've also noticed that the battery life has significantly reduced, come noon time, the deice is ready to be charged, showing less than 50% having been sat on my desk, with little to no use. (I only charge it at this point as I know it wont make it the rest of the day)
Some other issues I've noticed since the Oreo update...Wi-Fi seems choppy, slow and laggy, and I quite often get the " ! " next to the signal status bar icon.
And almost 100% of the time if I try to cast to one of my Chromecast or Google Home devices, the S8 does not see them (connected to same Wi-Fi SSID), meaning if I open Google Home app, and click top right to see my devices, they are....sometimes disabling and re-enabling Wi-Fi will fix this.
I spoke to what Samsung call their 'Tech Support' and it was beyond a joke...their solution...."Turn the phone off and on"...that was it, they could / would not offer any more support than this, and also claimed that I was the only 1 reporting this / these "potential issues"
I had another update pushed to my S8 yesterday (14.05.2018) which according to the docs was released 10.05.18 - G950FXXU1CRD7
This has not helped with anything....
Has anyone else had any of these or similar problems following Oreo update?
Does anyone know of any 'fix' if so?
TIA

I've disabled USB debugging in dev. options, not fixed anything.
