First of all I noticed that my fingerprint scanner is loose towards the left side, it used to make crunchy noises when I press it but stopped after a couple days of use, this doesn't interfere with functionality everything is working fine but I can feel the level deference with my fingers and it bothers me.
Also, there seems to be a dark spot at the top left portion of the display, it's only visible when you look at the screen from an angle.

Have you guys noticed anything?

So, when my tablet is on, but the screen is super dark (basically black) there is some faint light coming from the right side and toward the bottom right side).
Is this normal? What is this?
That is called light-bleed. Many LCD devices suffer from it. It's usually only apparent when the screen is black. I noticed mine when I first got my tablet(s) but you get used to it... and not many situations arise when your screen is full black, except for some extra dark video scenes (for me anyway)
Is it a defect? Is it normal? Do they all have it?
Hi guys,
I was tapping around the phone to see if there's any camera lens rattle like some of the previous iPhones I had but instead I noticed that the bottom half of the body would vibrate slightly when it was tapped on.
It vibrates very slightly and not a big issue (but sucks to have OCD problems). You would have to tap harder than how you would normally use the phone. Yea I know, no one would tap it like that, but was wondering if anyone else with 5T or even 5 had similar 'issue'.
I think the vibration motor moves a bit when the phone is tapped hard enough and it's causing the phone to vibrate slightly. You can also hear the 'ting ting' noise if you put your ear against the ear piece and tap the bottom part of the phone.
I have noticed that the notification led is too much low in brightness. I I find it really difficult to notice it. So I have "ripped" a bit the covering grid (that protects the speaker) and now I can see the full LED, it is incredibly bright now!
Is it normal or can it be a production defect from your point of view?

It's normal only, it's behind the speaker protection mesh only

Hey my Honor and Huawei phones have a similar design of a very tiny notification LED behind the speaker grille. I am thinking of "ripping" the covering grid like you did but I am scared of damaging the phone or the display. What tool should I use and is it ok if safely and carefully done? As it is, the current notification LED is completely useless as you can't see it from 1 feet away.

Don't rip it off as more dust will accumulate in your speaker. Notification led is less visible because of the dust which settles on that mesh. I have found one simple solution. Just buy one paint brush small one and poke it through that mesh & blow air over it. This worked for me. Dust will be removed and it'll become more visible. Hope it works for you too.
Hi, question: i have a Note 10+ with all updates and updated via adb to Android 10 but my fingerprint scanner is still really awful. I have seen all yt video, seen all tuto on how to set the fingerprint but nothing!
Still awful, especially when finger is a bit wet. Is there a solution or is it better change the phone?
Maybe it is the way you registerd your fingerprints, my fingerprint sensor is accurate all the time
Are you using a screen protector? Mine sucks too. I have a glass one with the thin area in the glad over the sensor and I have used privacy film and it's ehh. It works perfect with nothing on it. Try turning the touch sensitivity up in settings and maybe re-register the print again.

(The touch sensibility have nothing to do with the fingerprint sensor though.)
Maybe they finger print again but dont press to hard
Upside down

You probably have, but try registering your fingers upside down and side ways.. and register loads of times with the same finger you mainly use, im sure you know all this though
It's awful, specially compared to the OnePlus6T

, no, it is not, mine as many others work just fine, the fingerprint sensor for whatever reason doesn't work the same for all, odd, but not a so uncommon issue, and this happens among all brands
I partially blame the size of the sensor as well as the way they guide users through the enrollment process. The standard android fingerprint enrollment process, as i've experienced on my HTC U11 and Razer Phone 2, prompts for more finger edge samples. I actually went through the process on the Note as the software prompts and had mixed results. I then just decided to hit the sensor randomly with some overlap to give it a better overall picture of my finger as opposed to a bunch of samples of the same spot and then a few variants.
If you shine a flashlight at the screen you'll see the sensor size. It is a short rectangle that doesn't seem to cover the area that the fingerprint icon covers. I have an amFilm whitestone-style screen protector and while there is a slight difference, the stock experience was also not that great. I would recommend you try to figure out how you ACTUALLY use the fingerprint unlock. I noticed that while i'm enrolling i'm focusing on pushing with my fingers dead-on, in practice i actually use just the upper right corner of my thumb (if you're looking at the fingernail top-down). When I realized that I trained it with that in mind and it did perform better.
There was mention of the ones in the One Plus devices, which are actually different in that they are optical. Because they light up and read optically they have a more controlled environment than what the ultrasonic sensor on the Samsung phones. I can see someone with a deeper fingerprint patten be able to get better results vs someone with a very faint fingerprint. On oneplus devices though it would just be a different picture, but i'm thinking on an ultrasonic sensor there might not be enough peak and valley information to pass the threshold. Maybe samsung can make the pattern require less data points to match to unlock, but that would also mean it is less secure.
Bottom line is that while the tech has the potential to be more secure than optical under glass, it still has a little ways to go but it is serviceable once you get to it. I don't have big hands so i have to hold the phone in a very specific way to get a good grip on it. Once i figured that out, training the sensor again did yield better results.
I have the same problem. In sorry you haven't received a resolution, especially from Samsung who manufactured the Galaxy Note 10 Plus. I'm believe they were aware that it did not work with many 3rd party cases with protected screen covers. No matter how you register with screen off or on, the reader is intermittent and doesn't work with the cover. I hope you get the resolution as it will solve my issue as well.
The fingerprint registration process seems very glitchy too but after having experienced an awful 40% success rate with waking the phone using my fingerprint I deleted all the stored prints and started again. The secret is in storing decent prints so keep doing this until the phone unlocks with a 90%+ success rate like mine does now.
Hello everyone,
I was wondering is there a way in increase the sensitivity on the edges of the screen or disable the palm rejection feature with APK on the pixel 6 pro?
I'm having a difficult time hitting certain ticks or cues on the edges of the screen when using certain apps. I've found myself having to purposefully aim slightly to the left or right depending on which side of the screen I am on.
Thanks for any input!
Hi esoplayer,
What kind of navigation do you use on your phone? Gestures, or the navigation bar. I was wondering if it was the gesture navigation that was getting in the way, possibly. I use gestures too, now, but I stuck with the navigation bar before I got my P6P.
Hey RoirraW,
I started with the gestures, but I found myself having to reach too far sometimes with my thumb in one handed use, or I would be swiping in a photo app and cause the back function to trigger.
I am currently using the navigation bar because of that, and it's also what I'm used to using coming from using the galaxy line of phones.
I thought that would clear it up too, but it's still giving me some troubles when trying to interact close to the fold of the edge screen.

I see, well that's one possibility eliminated. For what it's worth, using my P6P in an OtterBox Defender case, I assumed my occasional trouble at the sides of the screen (but not that often) was because of the curve combined with the edge of the case, but maybe not.
Yeah I have the same issue and my case is not the culprit for sure, the screen edge does not respond to clicks even most times scrolling can be very frustrating if your trying to scroll to a very specific spot, very often I have to click or press that part of the screen 3-4 times before it registers

There is a bug that has been appearing since Feb with the Pixel 6 Pro. I experienced it a few months ago when re-flashing stock (it's an AOSP bug that has also appeared in custom ROMs).
This bug makes an invisible border around all edges (about 1 inch). When you long press on say the outer edges of Gboard (say numbers 1 and 0, q and p), do you experience issues?
Palm rejection has never been great on Pixels. It's decent, but it's not great. It's an old problem of Android (even though Samsung has it worked out mostly), plus Windows laptops also struggle with that. Only products I've seen yet with decent palm rejection are IPads.
Hmmm, perhaps this is a hit or miss issue amongst different apps as I rarely experience this problem. IIRC, I think I have experienced it in the Outlook app and haven't noticed it in any other applications. Weird...
