Hey
I have this simple question about this weird infrared led next to my front face camera that is showing when im talking in the phone.
The people im talking to, says that i have a bad signal/voice in the microphone
Im running the nordic NEE ki8 firmware android 2.3.5.
The error is just like the one in this video, except mine is only showing when im talking with other people. look closely at this error in 0:10 in this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MI7ftudEEo&feature=related
does someone have this kind of error too?
I dont know if this is supposed to be a feature or even an error at all.

It's the promimity sensor. I have no idea why it's flickering away on that video though.
Thats a proximity sensor

Okay do you know how to make it stop.
I dont think its normal.
its annoying that it is flickering when talking to people.

Double posting and large, unnecessary signatures are annoying too .
Oinkylicious, frankly, i don't give a damn.. Save the criticism for someone who cares.
I think you are here to help instead of criticising, aren't you?
Ontopic; i don't know a way to make the flickering stop. Also, om my phone, the flashes are very very dull. You almost don't see it as in the vid where it is extremely bright (compared to mine)...

Well maybe other sgsII users arent aware of it yet
dont know if it depends on which country/carrier the phone is bought.
Mine is originally a 3 mobile branded.
In anyway we are screwed, unless samsung support can help.
thanks for your positive response :-D
i have tried flashing originally 3 mobile branded firmware xwke1 and upgraded to 3 mobile xwki8 branded firmware via kies, but that didnt solve the problem.

funny because most people on xda have a signature as large the way you describe it.
I have found out that this is a light sensor according to the manual
its placed like this: frontface camera - proximity sensor - light sensor.
I remember that i turned off the automatic light in the screen settings and then manually adjusting the light. i turned the automatic light on again.
dont know if this is related.
If it is an infrared signal, can it be used to control the TV?
Have you tried switching off proximity during calls (Check box in settings > Call )? Will leave the screen on but might solve your blinking sensor problem...
hi,
i have this issue, everytime i make a call, once i press the call button, screen goes black, and i need to press the main button in the back to get it back, but sometimes it stay black and i can t hangup wich is a pain.
do you also have this? any idea how to adjust or remove that?
thxx for your time
I also have this priblem， Don't know how to fix it

glad to know i am not the only one!
even it s no fun to have this bug...
Do you have a full screen protector? A case that covers or youre covering the light sensor next to the speaker?
yes i do, you think that can be the cause?

actually it s not a full screen protection, it s the film that was on the screen when i bought it.
light sensor works fine
I got mine fixed by calibrating the motion sensor in display settings.

Just did it but when i make a call, once i press the dial button, screen turns off
Sounds like your proximity sensor is covered up or not working. Do you have a screen protector or anything on the phone which might interfere with it? If so maybe remove it and retry. Also I'm sure you could find an app that would check it.

The Software is buggy and LG is not doing anything about it . I tweeted to them so many times and i thought HTC was bad.. they were amazing .. my first and last LG device .. however i am just confirming its not always proximity sensor issue .. Its the buggy software implementation.
i quite agree with you.... any idea when we get 6.0 ?
Would it be software? If we all have the same phone with the same software then we would all have the same problem, but we don't?
It's a software bug... Rebooting the phone fixed the problem， but then it starts acting the same way after few calls.
Sent from my LG-H961N using Tapatalk
You could try( if you haven't already), wiping your sensors. They sometimes get dirty & don't work properly.
I have same issue and have no protectors or covers or nothing just the stock phone. I think it's got to be some stupid software issue and it is very irritating. Went from one ridiculous phone into another headache...

Drama much? The phone has been out for barely more than a month... and not every phone is having this issue.
Process: Collect as many bug reports as possible, recreate and fix issues, release a patch.
LG is not going to release a patch just for your particular problem because you tweeted really hard.

Retarded much ? I did not tweet to them about this problem, many people did. I tweeted then wrt their update roadmap and yes the phone should not be out in the first place if it has such obvious bugs you are clearly not aware how responsible companies work. I rest my case. If you are happy then enjoy.

Well people value their money and thats why when they feel they have inferior product the will complain. Like micro scratches on the screen, bleed on second screen, back peeling off .. and if you dont have this issue does not mean these issues dont matter and it also means serious quality control issues at LG. You for one needs to get over yourself and respect other people's problems, i have none of the above problems except the software bugs, i still feel compassionate towards fellow community members who might have recieved inferior quality devices. I clearly understand your personality type, "I dont care if the whole world goes to hell if i dont have a problem i am good." You should try to be less selfish and i am sure i am not the first one in your life to call you selfish. Think about why those people think you are selfish.

Hi guys.
i made a short video in which it's shown what i mean
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6h645V_GLuQ
It is a comparation between my honor 9 and my moto x 2014 regarding display sensitivity
In the first comparation it's shown how badly the sensitivity of the touch is calibrated when small movements are made. The red circle on the honor 9 doesn't move
In the second comparation it's shown a swipe issue. If you look with attention you will notice that the last millimeters of a swipe are executed with delay. Infact you will see the red circle moving even though the finger is stopped
I'm using Android nougat b180.
these problems are very annoying, especially during games
Does anyone of you has tha same issue? (I think yes)
have these problems been fixed whit oreo beta update?
I have this issue and I always thought I was imagining the delay, thanks for demonstrating it in the video. This is one of the biggest problems for me as the phone is great in every other aspect

Did someone tried with Oreo Beta? Is the problem still there?
I agree with you, that's terrible. But I have to admit, without your post and without using multi touch tester, I didn't know my phone had this problem.
Usually I'm careful with the touch screen (cause old bad experiences) but this time in the daily usage I didn't notice it.
I hope that honor fixes this problem because for such a phone it's embarrassing, but anyway I continue to use the phone without any very big problem.

Activate or deactivate??
I also tried this - with pocket mode "off" an gloves mode "on" the phone seems to be a litte more responsive.
Either the touch-driver is crappy or meanwhile i got hallucinations. :silly:
But there is also more strange touch-behaviour:
If i scroll large lists in google news with repearted short swipes, the device stops within the list and changes scrolling direction. Looks like hitting a rubberband . This could be an issue of the touch driver or maybe a problem of emui.
Is there anybody using the early lineageos or Resurrection Remix who has also touch problems?

Does anyone have the problem where scrolling isnsiepr fast and scrolling is also only nice when their finger in flat on the screen and morning an angle? When I use my left thumb, in an angle it sometimes doesn't scroll proeprly and instead moves very little. It's very annoying.
Yes i have this. It's caused by input lag very high on this Phone !
Yes its horrible..Can not understand that they sell it with such issues and call it master of speed.
Will send it Back in monday

Why Fake?
This is happening with me 2. Is it hardware issue? Or should I replace it?
Bad news http://en.miui.com/thread-3746297-1-1.html this smartphone is very bad !
I can use this phone through gloves.
I've kind of made the problem go away. Idk if it's a placebo and I've gotten used to it. But I'll end the thread and start another one to state what I've done. You can give me feedback there.

Yes. For me it's a functionality rather than a bug. It allows me to use the screen even with gloves on. Also the response will normalise if you install a tempered glass.

I installed tempered glass from the 1st day and getting touch issues. I thought it is software bug. Like, if I swipe left or right and it works as swipe up or down.
Mi post about their miui 10 beta 2, their is written that ghost and multi touch problem will be solved. If miui beta 2 solved these issues then I will install it manually. https://en.miui.com/thread-3935216-1-1.html
I post about the touch issues to poco India in twitter and they replied me to DM to us with contact number and miui version of my device, our team will call you.
Lets see, will they call or not.

Hi,
I had to replace my pixel 6 display and the fingerprint sensor with it. When I went on to calibrate the sensor with Google's calibration software, it says "Couldn't find the unique calibration software for this device" after trying to download the software. Has anyone had this issue? I would really appreciate any help on getting this fixed...
Thank you.

You ever hear back? I'm on the phone with Google and they don't even know about the fingerprint calibration software. They want to warranty my phone, but I didn't go through an authorized repair so we'll see.

I didn't get a proper response from google. However, I got a response in an iFixit forum.
"Hey Tilan, speaking as a Google Certified Technician, through the pixel repair process, there is currently issues with the finger calibration connection via Windows. So far, all of my store’s computers are not able to properly run the fingerprint calibration. The only time that I was able to make it successful was through another android phone, in this case was my Pixel 5, and another Chromebook. Got news that some other location starts to have it working on their computers, but don’t take my words for it"
I still haven't tried this though.
Having the same issue for the Pixel 6 Pro after screen replacement.
Spoke with Google Support and they mentioned that the December update should solve the issue.
Fingers crossed as I haven't received the update yet.
Hopefully it works after the update.

Same with me either.
Even the latest security patch didn't work for me.
But swapping the old fingerprint scanner from the broken screen to the new screen worked.(It did not even required calibration as it recognised the fingerprint straight away).
Just a really poor launch by Google. Buggy software everywhere.
Are there just some people's FPs that just work well with many diff kinds of phones and with both optical and ultrasonic FPS? I've used Samsung's versions, OnePlus and Google now and I never ran into any issues using their FPS.

I also tried to swap the fingerprint sensor from my old screen to my new screen now. It's a bit tricky as I wasn't able to make it perfectly centered / flat the first time, so I had a lot of issues first to get it to read. I opened it up again, cleaned the back glass for the sensor cutout, and used a heat gun to melt the glue and was able to get it centered and flat this time.
Thanks for the tip!
It feels like the calibration software isn't going to be working anytime soon, and this is the way to do it for now.
Is there really no way to get the fingerprint scanner working again after a screen repair? There must be a way....
