Sorry if this was posted before, couldn't find anything about it.
This does not happen everytime I unlock phone but it happens quite a bit. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Settings -> Display -> Block Accidental Touches.
Please check your screen protector
Make sure all sensor of device open
I have that comes every once an awhile. Accidental touch is turn on and the screen protector not covering the sensors.
I have it pop up when I am in the car. It because I have the block accidental touches setting turned on. I don't have a screen protector on. It's a nice feature to have cause on the S7 edge, S8, and S8+, I was always launching some app from accidentally touch the edges. My S9 doesn't do it often only if I pick it up in the car and accidentally touch the edges of the phone.
Yes, this message is just letting you know that it's blocking your touch input (usually when the screen is turning on with something covering the sensor on the front). The S7 would just keep the screen off (therefore preventing accidental touches/screen on's) but the S9 displays this message... which I think it pretty dumb...

Hi, I've dropped my phone and now the screen does not turn on.
The touch works, i can receive calls (and talk) and the glass is not working.
It seems that something disconnected from inside.
Any suggestion? Open the phone and review something?
Thanks!
Wait what? The touch works but the glass doesn't? They are the same piece. You've got the LCD panel which is the screen display itself and the digitizer which registers touch, in other words the glass component.
Which of the two does not work?
Since he claims he can answer calls, it appears to me the screen is still registering touch input (I assume he swipes the screen even though it stays black).
Hi Guys,
Newbie here, wonderful forum and lots of tech stuff, kudos to every one who have contributed.:good:
Facing couple of issues with my NOKIA X, request your help pls!
Issue: Screen goes blank during a call, when using the phone without headset, & doesnt come back on, untill the call is disconnected by the caller at the other end.During this period, when the screen goes blank, it leaves me with no access to the menu, dialpad, etc and the call disconnect button doesnt end the call as well.
1) Turned off proxmity sensor in the "Phone-Settings" menu, it works properly.ie the screen stays "on" during the call and no issues with disconnecting the call, accessing the other dialpad options etc.
2)Also Turned on/off Automatically adjust screen brightness , observed that issue is intermittent.
Any leads would be helpful.Not sure about sensor calibration and tweaks
thanks

the screen supposedly to turn off during calls when it detect something near the proximity sensor ie your face when attending calls, this is to preserve power, and it should've come back on again when u bring it far from your face. this is default bahaviour on all smartphones nowadays.
but when it doesn't come back on again after u bring it far from your face after making calls, then thats a problem.
u use screen protector? a thick one and it covering the proximity sensor perhaps? from my experience thick screen protector that covering the sensor can interfere with its sensitivity.
the sensor is on the right side of the nokia logo infront of the phone. look closely and u could see it.

Thanks for your reply!.
Yes recently i got a matt finish screen protector on.,let me try taking it off and then observe if the issue pops up..Yes its a little frsutrating when the screen doesnt come back on once its moved away from the face & will have to wait till the caller disconnects the line from their end

Thank you mdfzhi, i took off the screen guard (yeah it looked unusually thick :silly and it seems to work at the moment, will monitor and see if the issue pops up!:good:
thanks again!!
search for screen protector that doesn't cover the proximity sensor, or if u cant find one that doesn't, cut yourself a hole in place of the sensor.
i'm using a thick anti fingerprint screen protector myself but its not covering the proximity sensor.

nokia xl blank screen call
Hi guys, my XL got blank screen every I make a call, what happen...
Blank screen show in every rom I've installed, but not on stockrom, at stockrom blank screen call only happen once after that going normal...
I'm not using screen protector at all...
What's wrong, how to fix that ??
this problem is in NOKIA X stock rom..
other roms doesnt have this problem..
its a bug in stock.
Covering the screen with the palm of my hands when it is on doesn't seem to do anything. It doesn't dim the display although the display does dim after 5 seconds or so. Am I missing something?
Keep trying and you'll figure it out after a while. Took me some time to realize that it works better when the palm comes into contact with the screen, and certain parts of the palm trigger the action better than others.
I'm such an idiot! Thank you. I was thinking it was to cover a light sensor and didn't want to touch the screen with my hand for fear of setting off "OK Google". For those out there with the same confusion, cover the watch with your palm actually touching the screen, and the phone will vibrate to confirm the ""Dimming
I'm having a problem where in low-light areas, my screen turns off a second after I turn it on. The only way I can get it to stay on is by plugging the phone in or unplugging it if it's already plugged in. It seems like there's an issue with the light sensor / proximity sensor that helps keep the device off when it's in your pocket. I'd like to fix, disable, or remove this feature. Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it? I've encountered it before with the lightflow app where the solution was to remove lightflow, but this is built in which makes it more difficult. Fyi My phone is rooted.
No suggestions for a fix, sorry. I saw behavior like this (screen turning off) when I put mine in an arm band case with clear plastic covering the whole front of the phone. I assume the proximity sensor thought the phone was in a pocket, etc.
The only thing I can think of to simply learn more about the problem is to install CPU-Z and look in the Sensors section to see what the LGE Proximity sensor is reading.
A screen protector that covers the sensors can also cause this.
I get this in low light, too. I have to point it at a light source to get it to turn on. Very aggravating. The longer I use my G4, the more flaws I find.
Do you guys have a tempered glass screen protector on? I have this too, and confirmed this is what it's from. When I had one that didn't directly cover the sensor I had zero issue. It may also be that the sensor isn't that great or polls on too slow of an interval.

Interesting. Does this happen in no-light situations as well? Or is there is a "dead zone" between normal light, and pitch dark?
I tried mine in an almost-fully-dark scenario, in a closet with the door almost fully closed. It turned on normally using both the power button, and double-tapping the screen. Mine is a Verizon model, 610B software.
Thanks @RedOCtobyr for pointing out it could be the screen protector

Yes! I have the tempered glass screen protector. I'm going to remove it now. Besides this whole light sensor issue, I absolutely hate this thing. Compared to a plastic screen protector, I can barely move/drag my finger across the screen because it grips my finger so much. I also feel like it messes up the touch sensitivity so that a lot of lighter touches don't register. Whether that's true or not, the excessive grip this thing has on my fingers and this whole sensor issue is reason enough to tear this piece of crap off.
...
Yep. Light sensor now works in low-light situations but detects when it's being blocked in close proximity. It feels a lot better to touch the screen now as well. Anybody know of a good plastic screen protector to order off Amazon?

I love my tempered glass. Just not ones that cover that silly sensor. I can't say for sure but I feel my G3 glass also covered it without this issue, or at least from what I remember.

how did you over come that issue with the armband. i am having the same problem right now thanks.
Follow steps below to re-calibrate proximity sensor(must with the glass protector is installed and which is sensor covered up)
1. TYPE "277634#*#" in phone dialer. Hidden Menu screen will show up.*
2. Select "Device Test"->"MT", it will show "system will be restarted", then choose OK.*
3. After reboot, GENESIS MiniOS 3.1 screen will show up, press "individual item+power" while power button is pressed.*
4. Next, find "sensor test", enter it(do not block the proximity sensor), the proximity sensor will be automatically calibrated. Then block proximity sensor two times to exit.*
5. Find "Back to the MainList", enter.*
6. Press "Normal boot+power" while power butten is pressed to reboot system, done.
Now the problem should be solved.

Thank you for this. Although on Marshmallow the Hidden menu code has changed. I found this on reddit which helped.
User: Tramagust (I can't link because I have not made enough posts yet )
"It is *#546368#*MODELNUMBER#
So for the international version it is *#546368#*815#
For the Dual sim version it is *#546368#*818#
I assume for the NA version it is *#546368#*811#"
I will see if it makes a difference. Cheers

Yes that code is for lollipop.it is different as you said for marshamallow.
Hi,
no idea if i just got nervous and did not figure out earlier or it bugs indeed.)
Thing is i put a tempered glass on the screen and all went fine for two days.
As the glas wasnt exactly medium placed i wanted to correct the position, got a dusk between tempered glass and screen, no more wipes at home.
So i used a wipe for glasses to wipe the dusk corn from temeperd glass.
After wiping with that now as soon as i just pick up the device display shows the fingerprint symbol "greyed out/dark mode", note as bright as when using it, tapping on, but in a decent grey/anthrazit.
Wake up on lift was disabled from the beginning, double tap to wake is on as it was, turning off makes no differnce.
So did it "wake up" that way since first day and i just didnt notice it nervous like now or did i mess it up with the wrong wipe on the tempered surface?(
Edit:
think i messed it up, as soon as i hit the power button to lock the device finger rint symbol gets brighter waiting for input.
You gus know a way to cleen the display isded side of tempered glass without interfering then maybe?
