I have a unlocked Note 10+ from best buy. Got it yesterday and when I wake up the phone I get a quick (pixel flash) to the right of the front facing camera. It flashes real fast and is a white color. Then it goes away. But when I first setup the phone it stayed on longer. Is this a sensor(?) Does anyone have a issue like this so far? Thanks for the help
Ok so I hit the power button (to sleep the phone and to turn it back on) 10 times. 6 out of the 10 times a small white pixel flashes fast then goes away.
Sensor.

Do you know why it only shows up randomly?
Thanks for the reply

Proximity sensor wouldn't flash white I believe

I'm not doubting the Proximity sensor. I am saying what the OP is experiencing is something else that isn't related to the Prox sensor
I also noticed the same thing. If everyone are noticing it, it probably is a feature. This also happens when you start any call.

This is the proximity sensor. The same concept was seen in the S10 series

So we're all aware of the multitouch bug, where the lower-right corner (in landscape) becomes unresponsive. It's clearly a software issue, but I found the strangest way to provoke it.

If I jump from barrel to barrel without touching the toxic ooze, multitouch continues to work just fine. If I fall in the toxic ooze, the bug appears. That is, I can't hit A or B while moving the joystick. I click the screen off and back on and it's fine, but if I fall in the ooze again, the bug reappears instantly. As long as I stay on the barrels, multitouch continues to work fine.
I tried it several times, playing with save states to make sure it wasn't just me. It holds true every single time. I even quit the emulator and re-opened it, and somehow, this weird little quirk in the game still affects the multitouch of the device.
PS: Yes, I've gotten this far through on-screen controls. I just got to Click Clock Wood
turn the screen off and back on, it will be gone.

You didn't read my post at all...
it's interesting you can invoke it at will. What emulator/game are you using?

Trying different apps and sensor tests it appears that mine has no proximity sensor. Do you confirm on your devices?

Same here, Proximity Sensor Finder finds nothing.
I'm a little disappointed about it but no big deal.

My only issue is that apps such as awesome on/off do not work. What to use for powering on/off the screen with case with no magnet.

The power button.
Just kidding. Seriously though, I've never even thought about using the proximity sensor for turning the screen off. My first reaction to this thread was "so what, I'm not using the device as a phone (holding it up to my ear) so what do we need a proximity sensor for?"
But using the proximity sensor to power off the screen when using a cover, is a pretty cool concept, I'll admit.
I wonder how strong a magnet is needed in order to make the phone sleep/wake. Maybe you can use magnetic tape on the flap of your cover to serve the purpose.

Is there a way to disable this in a kitkat rom during a call? ?

Turn off Proximity Sensor. Most likely in Phone Settings... Haven't been on AOSP in a minute, but it used to be an option.

Couldn't find phone settings. I checked every section of the options menu and there was nothing about proximity sensors. I guess I'll just have to deal with it. Thank.

Well TouchWiz ROMs have it for sure

I meant that I couldn't find it anywhere in the options xD. I'd go back to touchWiz but I always get terrible battery life. So each rom has a different drawback for me xD
Hi Folks, looking for some help after I just about managed to replace a cracked screen & frame (I fell on top of my phone during a mountain bike descent into Glen Doll, Scotland as an aside!).
After painstakingly taking the cover, mid-frame, battery, motherboard etc out and putting them back together, I thought it was a minor miracle the phone worked again. The only issue I am having is that the screen switches off and stays off while making any calls, no matter whether I hold the phone to my ear or in front of my face.
Is this a proximity sensor issue? If so where exactly is it located and how can I check whether it's either damaged or not properly connected? Thanks in advance for any help
Sounds like it, Does you screen auto brightness work?
Its the little red sensor just under the top speaker on the right.
Nope, auto brightness isn't working either.
Do you know whether the sensor is soldered on or whether it can just be removed & replaced? The sensor seems to be in place but guessing it's not properly connected

I had the same problem as you and I think you also forgot to put the cover of proximity/light sensor.

Exactly the same problem on mine. Sadly threw away the part. Does anyone know the partnumber of this or where to buy it in Europe?
My phone squeeze feature doesn't work on main screen. Works with the screen off and after I unlock the phone it doesn't work anymore.
Anyone knows how to fix it and why it's happening?
Do you get the animation in the home button and the vibration what you try on the homescreen?

Yet it does work while on the lockscreen? You have everything checked like in my screenshot?

Are you using an immersive mode app? This happens to me when I have immersive on. Or just navbar off.
