Hi guys,
I just got the TAB a6 smt 580 and when I open the case I've bought for it, the screen lights on automatically. And when I face the tablet down it turns off. Is there anyway to disable this? This is really anoying because sometimes when I can't sleep I like to put on a silly show on netflix, face the tablet down so I won't see the light from the screen but still can hear the sound and just try to go back to sleep...but when I face the tablet down the screen turns off.

Hey guys,
I don't know if this is possible, but I kinda like how with the BlackBerries you can put the phone in your pouch and it will shut off and it will turn on when you pull it out.
Well, what if we used this concept with the Touch Pro. My idea is that when you get a text message, your phone turns on in your holster right? What if we made it so that the phone stayed off (kinda like how when you get an email), but then it enabled the light sensor so that when you pull it out of your holster, the screen turns on. Then, once you're done reading the text message and you throw the phone back into your holster and it shuts the screen off.
Am I just fantasizing too much or is this actually possible? Let me know what you guys think?
you can allready turn it off, q2 how will you read a message @ night?
There is something like that, it uses the Gsensor and Light sensor. It is actually a locking app called Pocket Shield. when its locked and u pull it out of your pocket or holster the light sensor detects the light and turns on the screen and unlocks. http://pocketshield.netserver01.com/

Yeah, but the only way it will unlock it out of the pouch is if the screen is on. Anyway to do it in standby mode? I assume if the screen is on it will drain the battery.

You can try TouchLockPro. This automatically unlocks using the light sensor. Just press the Power button to make the screen on, it will default be locked, till you or the light sensor unlocks it.
I recently aquired this phone, brand new too! Bought unbranded of course, and fully unlocked etc etc..
Problem is, when i sit in my couch at night, with my light turned on, bout 50-80cm away, that light is bright enough to fool the sensor to think im outside in full sunlight or something, cuz the "white light" in the home, menu, back, search button lights up for 1 second about, then shuts off, and dont come back on, unless i turn off the light, or hold my fingers above the top part of the screen, then it turns on, and stays on, untill i remove my hand or turn on the light, and then it shuts off after 1-2 seconds again...
Is there a way to either disable this ambient light sensor, or change its sensitivity to light... Cuz this is crazy!
Is it supposed to do that ? I think it's broken.
I have no such problem with my phone.

Go to Menu -> Settings -> Display -> Brightness -> uncheck the automatic brightness! this should fix your problem!
I dont think its actually broken though... I just realised that my HTC Desire is acting the same after the latest update, well, maybe the wildfire is just a tad more sensitive.. But if i fx just have one of the lamps on, then it activates after 1 second... :| Stupid sensitivity!!

Already done! The phone switched brightness settings too damn often for me to be sane! So that setting got torn off about 1 min after the phone was done updateing to latest kernl.
Great phone but, it appears to be a bug with the screen dimming.
Regarding settings, I have everything turned off. Adapt display is off. Auto-brightness is off. Auto-adjust screen tone is off also.
I know Samsung displays dim if the phone overheats but my phone will auto-dim even if the phone is cool.
What I've found out is that the phone will only dim "permanently" when the screen is about to shut off.
For example: Set the screen shut off to 30 seconds and around the 28 second mark, the screen will dim for a couple of seconds before it shuts off. This is where the auto-dimming will "permanently" kick in. When the screen dims at the 28 second mark for a second, i'll touch the screen so it doesn't shut off. But by this time, the screen has dimmed already and won't go back to the regular brightness. I have to lock and unlock the phone for the dimmed screen to go away.
This scenario has happened every single time. Extremely annoying.
Anyone else experience this?

Seems like software problem, do you use custom roms? kernels? maybe any app that could control ur screen? try to do hard reset.

Yes, same here. It happens alot. Not every single time, but alot of the times.
Try this...
Hi
As the other user said it might be the software bug.
Please try this app. Disable your auto brightness and install this software https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitocassisi.luxlite
This lite version is free. Try this. If everything works, you may consider the paid version to support the dev guy...
Hi everyone, my wife has this phone and she dropped it off the table. On first the screen started to dim like lowering the back light, then stripes have appeared on screen and after that it turned black. Screen turned on again, dimmed again and turn black again and thats it. Later when I tried to turn it on nothing happens not even a turning on sound. It only start to vibrate every 5-10 seconds for a quite time. I wanted to order a new display but now I'm not sure is it display broken or there is something wrong with system or firmware.
Any experience with this behaviour and any advice what could it be and how to fix it?
Cheers
Happened on my 7pro now on my 8pro sometimes just randomly stays awake after clearing a notification does this happen for anyone else?
Hey.
I hear it for the first time. I have never encountered this before
Hey, I was just about to post the same issue - my screen tends to stay on randomly too. No idea what the root cause is but am hoping that others have encountered it. If we can figure out a reproducible scenario we should be able to log a defect with OnePlus.
Noticed my lock screen stayed on randomly...
Look slike using double tap to wake with notifications or not, keeps the display awake - it doesnt turn off after no use
i get it!
Same here.. lock screen and sometimes just stays on randomly. Peeled off screen protector wondering if that caused some issue and it still happens. They need to fix this.
