LED notification light - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

I noticed this morning a very small yellowish dot that blinked very quickly when I had a notification. It appeared right next to the camera (right side). I thought I was seeing something so I clicked the power button to shut off screen and touched the black screen with my finger and it blinked again real quick. Anyone else see this?

It is proximaty sensor. When you make phone call you can see it blinking also and if you touch it the screen will turn off.
I dont know why it is activated during notifications tought

Bug? Or Feature?

Seems that if I close the phone app, or slide the keyboard shut and then while the buttons are still lit I turn the phone off (standby), they'll stay lit indefinitely. If I turn the phone back on after the normal timeout period they'll go out immediately. But unless I do so they'll stay on.
Anyone else notice this on their phone? Is there a way to prevent it?
I'm on EnergyROM Leo build 21877 and I couldn't replicate this. I'd say it's definitely a bug, but unfortunately I don't know how you'd prevent this other than waiting for the buttons to turn off.
So if your front buttons are lit and you turn your phone off the button lights immediately go out?
Something else I found sort of odd is that the phone and end buttons are not colored green and red respectively. That's purely an aesthetics things, but uncommon at least in the phones I've owned.
The light thing is somewhat inconvenient. When taking a call I have to wait four or five seconds after hanging up before the lights go out and I can turn the phone off. If nothing else a registry edit that would allow the lights to extinguish quicker than that would be a handy workaround.

[Q] Frozen Screen

My LG Nitro will boot up, but the touch screen is not functioning. The power button turns it on, the lock screen appears, and notifications pop up in the upper corner, but it will not react to any touch.
It happened a couple of times before but a few battery removals did the trick...not any more...
It will not unlock...What do I do?
I searched around and it doesn't seem like anyone else is having this problem. Thanks!
Did you try a factory data reset?

You might have a bad digitizer.

[Q] Blackscreen and vibrates when button is pressed in cradle, why won't it turn on?

I've had the moto360 for a while and never had any problems till now, I had a normal day but the battery died before I could put it into the cradle. When I did, it showed the battery charging icon (not ring), after letting it charge for a while it wouldn't startup. After an hour it showed the battery charging ring, but when I lift it from its cradle it would go black. The next day, the screen doesn't display anything and when you press the button for a few seconds, it would vibrate and turn on the display (not showing anything. I hope it's not bricked!!!
Do you have a black screen app like Slumber that shows black screen when charging?
If you hold down the side button it should reset eventually

Note 5 with serious issues: Screen dim (Almost unreadable), battery icon center

I was given a Note 5 to fix. I do not know the history of the device. If a Android update was attempted or why it is needing to be fixed. It presented with a very dim (almost unreadable, except in completely dark room) screen. I have wiped cache and master reset the device. I can see that the powered off battery icon is center screen all the time and it is solid black. I cannot power it off via the normal power button but I can power it on. I can power it off using the power button + volume down. The touchscreen is responsive and not cracked or broken at all. The back, multi and home buttons react normally to touch and light up. When plugged into power or PC, it does charge and will show a red LED when charging and a green LED when battery is full. The sounds are normal as far as I can tell. I cannot get the screen to change when I swipe or press a center button. I was able to get a picture of a begrizzled man peering closely at the phone trying to figure out what the hell the problem is. So, softwarewise, some of it seems to be working. But, I cannot figure out the dim screen. Like I said earlier, there no cracks or even scratches in either glass, front or back. The bottom portion of the stylus is broken, but I was able to use a tiny phillips head to stick up in the open area and it working. I get a sound and vibration when it is removed and inserted.
Any ideas?

For some reason when the phone detects that the battery is under 5%, it will forcibly dim the screen until it is charged above 5% or plugged in. Maybe the phone thinks that the battery is at or below 5%. Have you tried plugging it into a power source to see if the screen lights up?

Update #1 - Somehow, without knowing how, I managed to turn on an Accessibility option for the phone to tell me what buttons or actions I have taken. Unfortunately for it is in Spanish. I guess I should have taken Spanish in high school...

Yes, I have plugged it to the wall, I have plugged it to my PC and I have wireless charged it. It seems to charge to full as the red LED turns green.

Lg g3 screen stays black after reboot, but responds to touch

My wife's phone looked completely dead this morning, so I pulled the battery and then rebooted. The led did its usual start up pulse but the screen remained black.
Double tapping to wake, then tapping the centre of the screen where login field is, then tapping where the keyboard is, results in haptic feedback, but the screen never turns on from black.
Tried holding down + power to boot into recovery, but no idea if it works. No response from the screen.
Anything I can try? :crying:

Its the faulty motherboard chipset issue, same as me.
Take the phone apart and place a piece of plastic or something on top of the display ribbon connector underneath the battery. That solved this problem for me.
Seems to occur because the board in the g3 has too much space to flex etc in general usage.
