Has anyone else noticed that when in a dark area, pressing the main button will turn on the screen but it will then automatically and immidiately turn off?
Several times I've gotten into a battle with the phone only to lose, turning it on and it turns off, then turning it on again and so on...
To compound the issue, in these situations it seems that double tap is signifigantly less responsive to activate the screen as well.
I'm pretty sure this phone is using some sort of facial recognition, it has smart stay doesnt it? I think it has gravity/accelerometer to turn on the screen when you pull it out of your pocket. In the back of my mind I'm thinking that since it cant see me it is shutting off but this doesnt seem consistent...
I'm running stock rom, rooted with twrp. Any ideas?
I have not experienced that. Did your G3 do that out of the box?

Never heard of it. Screen is set to auto off in 30 seconds. Change it to 2 min and you should be good. If u running without a case then maybe the hand is touching the edges of screen this will also shut screen off in double tap.
BAD ASS G3

I didn't notice it until the last week or so. but I kind of feel like that was because I hadn't used the phone that much up until then. I didn't make any major changes to the phone immediately before I started noticing it either, I had already had it rooted for about a week. I feel like the stock rom does have some glitches to it.
The G3 does have a "smart screen" feature that detects your face (Settings > Display). Disable that and see if it helps.
I've not run into this in the dark but have when I try and use my arm band holder when running. The holder covers the ambient light sensor so the phone thinks it was accidentally turned on like in a pocket and shuts right off. Super annoying.
Noticed similar behavior when the phone is in my bike mount at night. Basically it's acting like the proximity sensor is covered. In my bike mount's case, it is covered by a clear screen cover, but normally that doesn't trigger the proximity sensor. But when it's very dark out (not under a street light etc.), it seems to think it's blocked and turns itself off. Annoying.

Tried but remains the same... This was the only thread I found concerning this.
Ive had this issue too investigating now
Had that issue when I was using the lock screen face unlock. In the dark it didn't see my face and then it shut off. Setting is in lock screen section

Lol.
I have the same issue EVERY night. Why is that? It's very annoying
Same issue here
it seemed to resolve itself when I factory reset my phone
but after I got my apps reinstalled from my google backup it started again
so it seems like it's a software issue - not sure to which app it is related to
let me know if you find a fix - this is quite annoying
Me too. I've been facing this issue at night, when it's very dark.
Me and my buddy were in the car during a roadtrip and it was very dark, I mean like: No lights outside, no lights inside the car, the double tap feature didn't even work to begin with and whenever I tried to use the "Power Button" It would come on and then suddenly 'boom' Turn off, now this would happen a few times until it stays on. Weird...
I just experienced this myself, first time I've seen it happen in the 30 + G5's that I've sold. If it's in the dark it just doesn't turn on at all. I hope LG is fixing this. I'm about to Factory Reset it right now and hope for the best! Someone else mentioned that this is the only forum that is disccusing this issue. It must be a very few that are effected. I'm testing another one as we speak.
Has this issue been resolved? My friend's G3 also has this issue. Day time no problem. When it is dark the screen wont' stay on.
Same problem, no fix yet
Same problem here - Pointing it at any light and pressing the power button will turn it on. (As will plugging it into power). Tried tinkering with all sorts of settings (face recognition/auto dimming feature/etc) nothing worked. Tried factory reset, that didn't work either.
My issue started after i had my screen replaced (by a shady shop) who probably didn't do a good job of packing it back together....I'm going to see if I can have someone open it up and clean it out a bit..
I have the same issue on my G3. Even if you're under the covers in bed, the thing doesn't turn on until it gets light. It basically doesn't turn on in the dark through double tap and actually not even with the power button. It could become a safety hazard for someone in an emergency situation.

I have also same problem. No solution yet.
So I've noticed my AOD isn't turning off at all. While I do have it set to "Show Always", it should still turn off after a short time if the proximity sensor is covered., as was the case with the S7, S8 and S9.
Could you guys please confirm if this is the case for your AOD too? Turning the phone face down or put it in your pocket (or just cover the top half of the display) for a few minutes, see if the AOD turns off. Let me know if anyone sees it turn itself off.
You have to have AOD set to "Show Always" for this test to be valid.
I suspect this could be a bug which Samsung might need to be made aware of, hence my request for others to test. Unless I'm missing something VERY obvious. Or Maybe this is by design?
Thanks :good:
EDIT: thinking about this further, I reckon the proximity sensor is only active while it's flashing, such as when a call is being made. Because it's a "behind the display" type sensor. So maybe they made a trade off with AOD?
It's a sad news for you. S10+ doesn't have a proximity sensor as a trade-off for the screen (sounds ridiculous?). And some features are like sh*t due to the lack of proximity sensor. I don't know if I can go through with this so-called flagship

Ummm, of course it has a proximity sensor.....
Try making a call to someone (use voicemail if you want). You'll see a little white flashing dot to the left of the cameras, near the battery icon. This is the proximity sensor: https://hothardware.com/news/blinking-white-pixel-samsung-galaxy-s10-feature-not-bug
Try covering it up while in a call. The display will go off. Because you just covered up the proximity sensor. Because they do have one.

No it's not. Can you check it on your phone with *#0*# in the dialer or any proximity checking app? The result is always 0.
I had troubles with the double tap to wake and the show fingerprint features, and sometimes with calls when my phone behaves abnormally. Then I checked and it turns out that S10 doesn't have a proximity sensor. Samsung did other things to replace the proximity sensor's function, but it has been much worse than before

tried it on a S10E, the AOD always stay on even when in pocket.
Can confirm on my s10+. AOD does not turn off in my pocket or laying face down.
did anyone notice the werid little flashing spot above the the signal bars? that`s the only place where when I put my finger over it the screen goes off during call

Seriously, it has both a proximity sensor and light sensor as per normal. They may work slightly different, hence why crappy test apps from the Play store don't work. And why AOD is no longer turning off in pockets.

Same here.
Tbh it's not really a trade off I'm happy with because it makes AOD a source of battery drain at this point. I want to be able to put my phone face down to save battery. Do you think this might actually be a bug?
Started a thread in the Samsung community forum. Maybe some of you guys can top up with your own findings.

Found this article which confirms the existence of a proximity sensor.
https://hothardware.com/news/blinking-white-pixel-samsung-galaxy-s10-feature-not-bug
The trade-off might be due to the fact that's the sensor is tied to that blinking pixel and is only active while making phone calls.

Same here, AOD doesn't turn off when flipping it over or covering top portion of the screen.
I'm starting to think this is why they added the feature of AOD only turning on when you tap the screen once as a trade off for it not automatically turning off

I tend to agree. I carry my S10+ in my shirt pocket and have noticed that AOD remains on.
Additionally, if double tap to wake the screen is on, the screen will wake on in your pocket without double-tapping it. I have disabled this feature as its annoying that this is also buggy!

This combined with the lift to wake option interpreting placing in pocket as lifting and the ultrasonic fingerprint reader activating in pockets is giving us of a real annoyance.
I hope Samsung are aware of this and do something about it.. .. ..

Very strange... just tried disabling double tap to wake the screen and it didn't stop it happening... Doh
It's a bug, they forgot to link the older aod behaviour with the new implementation of this sensor, I expect it to be fixed in the next update, along with everything else.
I'm constantly getting this too. Even with AOD off and the option to not turn screen on when in pocket(can't remember exactly name) I'm still constantly having my phone turn on in my pocket. At work I get a break every 2.5 hours and sometimes 45 minutes or more of that it'll be on in my pocket. I've pulled it out several times and the emergency call screen be on with a lot of numbers pressed. It's definitely a huge annoyance. My battery almost died during a 10 hour shift because of this.

Hi everyone. Any thoughts on this issue? This still persists for me even though my phone is up to date and it's may already.
I too think that there's a trade off with the in-screen proximity sensor and the fact that the phone doesn't recognise that's in a pocket. Mine keeps going on while in it.
There must be a way to get around this issue but I'm suspecting we'll never see an optimal fix since the proximity sensor uses that lit pixel to work and nobody would like to see it blinking every second.
I blame bad engineering here. Thumbs down for Samsung mobile.
I blame the new in screen proximity sensor. I doubt they will ever get a fix for their first gen type used on our devices. It'll probably be fixed on the note 11 or S11. I hope not though.

folks, its a bug in Oneui which existed in all S10 and s10+... its had been reported since day one and still Samsung still unable to solve this issues till date. And they published an notice in Samsung member app, next update will be addressing this issues finally. so lets wait for May updates and see they really solve it.

Ever since I've bought OnePlus 7T, the proximity sensor is giving me a lot of problems. Sometimes the screen lights up while I'm speaking on the phone and the speaker is activated. Sometimes the call gets recorded. Sometimes if the phone is in my pocket and I try to unlock it, it says too many attempts.
Yes it very annoying, when removing it from pocket accidently my fingerprint matches and something something happens.

Yup, same issue here.
Another thread about it here - https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/proximity-sensor-doesnt-work.1147600/
Also issue present on OP7Pro forums.
Seems to be related to this "Virtual Sensor":
https://www.ellipticlabs.com/2019/0...eaner-design-to-oneplus-7-series-smartphones/
So we have to wait and hope (could be this same as Never Settle? :d) that can be fixed with a software update.

Someone on the OP7T forum suggested it may be Tap the Screen to Show (let's call it TSS) feature.
I enabled DTW. This will trigger Ambient Display -> "Tap the Screen to Show" to be disabled.
Tried and the screen still won't turn off when on a call with the phone on my ear.
Both options disabled (no DTW and no TSS), still won't turn off.
What did work though, was to turn off screen once with the power button:
- I was in a call and the screen was on,
- turned off the screen using power button,
- I took the phone off my ear -> Screen on
- put the phone back on my ear -> Screen off
Maybe someone can make more sense of it.

Yeah, I am starting to remember good ol' days with the OPX. Every OTA was fixing one thing and breaking 3 other.
At that time I said no OP again, but still, this one seems to be be a good phone. Time will tell.
Coming back to our issue, I am puzzled that only a few people reported this.
Are you guys are on stock kernel or something custom?
I don't think I have this issue, but the sensor seems to function a bit differently from what I'm used to. When the phone is horizontal, covering the sensor does not turn off the display. But now do the motion of raising the phone to one's ear, and the display turns off. Just an observation, yet to experiment properly.
Does anyone know where the sensors are located on this phone? Is there a picture on the internet that points out the different sensors?
Edit: Yep. This one has a virtual sensor. It works differently.

Not rooted, but using a custom dialer as the default Phone app (True Phone).
When I switched the default Phone app to Oneplus App, I could not reproduce the issue.
Testing for a few days to see if this works. Would be such a pity if the app is the problem because I really like it.
Also I just sent a log to OP support (they contacted me after I logged the issue on the feedback).
Yes, it is using the virtual sensor as you said (link in my previous post).
How does the virtual sensor work?

I couldn't find anything concrete on how this software-based proximity sensor, Elliptic Labs INNER BEAUTY, works. The keywords are: ultrasound, sensor fusion, and machine learning. A hardware-software I guess.
The 7T does have an IR sensor under the display, but I think this is only used for DT2W and Tap to Show to prevent the display from accidentally turning on when the phone is in the pocket and so on. Not for calls.
Fully Unmodified phone - same issue here. Phone regularly turns on airplane mode while I’m on a call cause it is registering face touches. Screen regularly flickers while on calls as if rapidly moving away from my face....
This was not a problem on my 3t a while ago and the issue is driving me to switch phones alongside some software instability (random lag and keyboard jitter) (animation issues after launcher swap) (soft-lock on navbar or gestures but not a play store replacement)I usually fix by rom swapping on one plus phones andddddd twrp is dead (for now) and no ones working on a valid replacement.
Will be keeping this phone in hopes of twrp eventual return, but need that stability

Twrp is out for the 7t. It's not flashable last I checked but it is bootable and usable for what I used it for which was a backup of stock rom
After a few days of using this device i noticed that my screen turns on during phone calls. After doing some research it came out that the proximity sensor is not working properly when phone is being tilted to horizontal position with screen upwards. It just immediately shows that it is far away from any object even that it isn't. The fun fact is that when covering the sensor with my hand while phone is laying on his back doesnt switch it and rotating the phone to vertical position also does not make any effect like the sensor would be locked. Covering it again in that position makes it work.
Can anybody help me with this issue? It's very annoying for me and makes my phone unusable for making calls.
Edit: similar problem here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/huawei-nova-5t-proximity-sensor-problem-t4136595
Same problem here...
here also
I am so lost. What do I do with the phone? What? When does it happen? (Also subscribing.)
Same here, and i notice i have also problems with whastapp and telegram audio notes.
Sometimes screen goes blank randomly and with no reason when i'm listening a audio note.
Hi. Its a well known problem. Its becouse the device has a ultrasonic sensor not like any other. Sensor like you already find out works only in vertical position of the phone. Its well described in the net how it works. Just search. In 4PDA in the section for our phone. But you need to know russian.
I found that thread and it seems that not everyone notices that... Not spending more time on reading this I found a workaround on my own: an app that keeps the screen disabled after first switching proximity sensor. Then you just need to use the power button if you want to use the phone.
Same problem here, it's very frustrating. I can turn the screen back off during a call once I see it's turned on by itself, but it keeps turning back on. I'm sick of muting calls and hanging up on people by pressing buttons when I'm on the phone.
What is the app that you are using @Spectre45?

Listen. There is no proximity sensor at all. The upper mic, speaker and the sensor for orientation are doing the job. When you pick a call the speaker is sending ultrasonic signal and if it locate your ear it dims the screen. Once it works it is working in all positions. But if you move your phone away only in horisontal position it will nit work untill you mive it in vertical again.
Edit: Experienced this issue too. Annoying.
Does using Xiaomi.EU fix this problem? This issue really gets on my nerves. I started daily driving this device (finally I was able to unlock) and I just cannot use it for calls, which is kinda ridiculous from a phone.
Flashing Xiaomi.EU fixed the issue and calls now work totally fine.
I believe it's Google Dialer making all the trouble, so basically EEA default rom will always be troublesome until Xiaomi decides to fix it. This is only a theory however. All I know is that the Xiaomi.EU rom saved my phone.
I was using the phone with cover provided by MI, upon removing that back cover I encounter no such issues.

I didn't have any proximity issues on stock with google dialer. It's not google dialer, it's how you position your head against the earpiece. Sensor is ultrasonic, so it probably doesn't detect properly depending on the position people hold their phones in...
I have the same problem with my work phone - redmi note 9. Tried the app "proximity screen off" but MIUI keeps killing it no matter what i do to keep it alive. It seems that sensor is located on front top right side of the phone so sometimes it gets behind your ear if you are right handed (mine are pretty small) and then the muting starts. When using the phone with left hand - no problems at all.
I would love to have a working app to keep screen off during call.

Hello to everyone,
I bought my OP9 pro 2 month ago, and I loved it since first day, but there are some bugs that I really hate!!
When I finish a call or when I finish to hear a voice message on Whatsapp, the brightness goes down, without I touch anything!
In last days I find another annoying bug, sometimes when i put off the phone from the pocket, the pocket mode remain activated, also if I turn my OP, also if I unlock the smartphone... These two bugs are getting me crazy!
Can anyone help me or I have just wait some software update from OnePlus?

I've exactly same bugs on my OP 9 Pro , sometimes brightness goes down by itself and without touching it, i've always automatic brightness switched off! Then taking it out from Pocket with Pocvket Mode switched off, i find apk opened by themselves, so a total mess!

Yes! The same for me! I'm rally freaking out! And Oneplus doesn't care about these bugs!
I had the same problems, but interestingly I face it only when my Camera and Mic is turned off.
for me it was dirt an pocket lent, the sensor is very sensitive for some reason so when ever i get that problem I wipe it and it works flawlessly for the next few days until it needs to be done again
Same here, sometimes I can't even turn on the screen after a call...

I don't think so, I've already tried to wipe it, but nothing changed! I have this problem since first day... I thought they resolve it with an update, but after 4 months I'm still waiting
Hello. There is a solution to the problem with the proximity sensor. You go to the dialer enter *#808#, looking for "Device dubbing* and there are "proximity sensor test", tap and choose "infrared proximity calibration". You calibrate the sensor. it should help you. You can also calibrate other problem sensors. Try it with a brightness sensor too
