Hi folks,
When i get a message etc, the notification led on the right side of the phone comes on.. but not the one on the front.. is there a way to enable the one of the front?
Cheers,
Mick
There's no LED on the front.

whats the little dot on the front that sits below the power button?
It's an ambient-light sensor.

thanks for clearing that up... from a design point of view.. think it would have made more sense to have the notification light on the front.. are there any apps that will turn on the button lights when you get a message?

I would think that there is only one light source, probably an LED. Typically with these things a clear plastic part routes light to the three buttons from a single source. I would guess that's a hardware issue and if it bothers you (it would me) send it back again.

Spot on. There is a YouTube video somewhere of how to replace the LCD screen, and there is a complicated task of lining up the light guides used for the three buttons, I suspect they just haven't done it very well.
It will not be a software issue.

if youre using a custom rom, it may be the rom?
thanks guys,iv only just had it back from being repaired,they put a new lcd and bezel,also new internal battery,they couldnt have lined it up properly as 2 of the buttons light up,just one doesnt and it is annoying,whats even more annoying is having to send it back again? could i play hell and demand a new phone for my inconvenience and being messed about?

i demanded a replacement, they agreed, but i had to send it off anyway, and wait for the replacement to be sent
they didn't send a replacement after all of that , they just repaired it again (properly though)
So I'm a newbie here so sorry if I do something wrong. I just installed my headunit and when I turned it on, I thought the lights could've been a little brighter so I saw the elements setting and messed with it to get a brighter color. After I did that, my button lights no longer work but the rest of my illumination lights in my car work except the headunit. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Got exactly the same problem. Would be very appreciate if someone could give an advice.
I know on my unit the button lights won't work unless my interior lights are set to the highest setting.

Also heard about that, but didn't work for me. :crying:
You could go into the factory settings menu and select RGB LED or keylight and see how if that changes anything.

Already tried that too. Actually, I tried almost everything that is known except modifications of hardware. I just was wondering if there are some other tricks to fix it.

Did you take out the Head Unit?
You may have dislodged the illumination cable on the unit. This happened to me.
I had no illumination, searched forums then found out that I needed to connect ACC to the "orange wire" (Xtrons head unit) then all the lights were illuminated.
Just wondering if when laying on desk do you have to lift the phone up every time to check messages.
Also how are the led notifications.

Some one working on the kernel from Google said double tap to wake was coming in a future update.

Double tap not yet.
LED notifications you can turn on (Settings -> Notifications -> Gear Icon -> LED option is there).
The LED is in the top speaker grill on the far left. I noticed this glow blue when new messages come in.
LED works great, I miss having it. No double tap of the screen or Raise-to-Wake which sucks a bit. However with the LED I don't miss it as much as I thought I would.

There are two LEDs. One is in the top speaker grill on the far left. I noticed this glow blue when new messages come in. Additionally, there another LED to the left of this on the bezel area that glows white when I get other notifications that aren't messages. I'm unsure if there are other colors currently.

Two led's havent noticed yet, then again I dont even have a sims card or any app in mines yet.
Actually elementalx enables touch to wake which I'm playing with.

Have you enabled the LED notifications in settings? It is disabled by default. You need to manually turn it on.
Double tap to wake is available with a custom kernel
I read from an extremely ( and I cannot over emphasize the word 'extremely' enough . . . ) reliable source that 'sweep to wake' is much more responsive and bug free.
.
I can remember tapping away on my nexus 6 and saying 'what the heck', . . . . and 'come on' . . . .
and then I went to the sweep thing and it was rock solid.
truth.
Maybe it'll be bundled in the next security update, hopefully early November

I doubt they are going to add it after the fact. I could be wrong but I just haven't seen them do that in the past so I'm skeptical.

I believe it's been (unofficially) confirmed by one of the pixel kernel engineers that it was pulled at the last minute but will return "soon"

I have enabled the LED, I get colored notifications from K9, SMS, etc.... I have yet to see any LED except the one immediately to the left of the earpiece speaker.
Could you point out where both are? I'm curious about there being two.... you sure you're not seeing the same one? The LED can produce a wide range of colors, including white.

Ah you are correct. My eyes deceived me by the brightness of the LED when white.
My mistake.

No problem, I was curious why I haven't seen it, and how to use it Yeah, the LED with colors is pretty dim

Yeah LED when colored is really dim. White is super bright though.
Side note, I somehow managed to lightly scratch my screen in my pocket even though its Gorilla Glass 4. :/ I guess its super sensitive. Bought some Cerium Oxide on Amazon hoping that might buff out the scratches.
Sheesh I havent noticed the second led I see the one in the headset speaker but where is the second one? I am wondering if my defender case is covering if up
Anyone has news on double tap to wake.

I got this keyboard case https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Gala...D=418-%2BKpAMDL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
and really like it but one this that I don't like is that when I'm not using the keyboard and close the cover, it doesn't turn off the screen. Can anyone confirm that that's normal or am I missing something?
If I'm not wrong my screen turns off when I disconnect the tablet from the keyboard :\

Yes, mine does that. But what about if you're not using the keyboard, when it's just opened and flipped back, does your Tab S3 turn on when you open the cover?
No I don't think it does that (I'll verify later as I don't have my tablet now).
But now that you mention it, it would be easy to do so using sensors: screen facing downward and light sensor detects no light. :\
My screen doesn't turn on when I open it. Do you guys know if there's anyway to disable the auto sleep when you disconnect the keyboard? Sometimes its very annoying.

Agreed. It turns off the Tab when disconnecting the keyboard, but can't turn ON when you open the keyboard! I like this case/keyboard but that's an annoyance I could do without.

Hmmmm...... mine turns off when detaching it from the keyboard and turns on when attaching it to the keyboard. Maybe there is a setting for that :\

Yes, mine does that. But what if you're not actually using the keyboard? Such as opening the cover and bending it back to just use the Tab for reading or playing a game? I would think a sensor should detect it being open and turn on.
Yeah! I guess it could be done for example using the light and/or proximity sensor. Maybe there is such an app in playstore. I would be surprised if there wasn't one :\

Didn't even think to look (until now). There's a paid app called Smart Cover that doesn't work as we don't have a proximity sensor and another called Smart Screen On/Off that will let you double tap to turn off that works, so at least there is less wear on the Powe button.

Well if this is what you are worried about, then you can wake your device using your fingerprint without pressing any buttons.
If you want also to turn off your screen without pressing any hard button, then I guess you can use the app that I created for my Samsung Galaxy Note 8, which turns off the screen allowing it to unlock using biometrics and which is completely free (I'm happy just by knowing that people find it useful)
