random vibration - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

I've had the note10+ for about a month now. And as of recently I keep getting random vibrations. I downloaded nice catch. All it shows is system notification.

Galaxy note 10+ random vibrations
I've noticed this since the last update.
It doesn't happen after a restart for a couple of hours but after that, it happens after interaction with the touch screen. Nice catch doesn't catch it because it logs only from apps. Even the edge panel doesn't get registered. Initially I thought it was my case causing a touch on the part of the screen that vibrated but even after a case change the issue is still there. Its concerning but not too serious.
And it seems I'm not alone.
Several users of other galaxy phones have also faced a similar issue.
The vibration is very short, like a single tap, like when you type on the keyboard.
And I've even managed to recreate it by putting my hand very close to the screen (once it starts acting up)
It mostly happens when the device is warm.
My NFC is left disabled. And Bluetooth is off.
Only WiFi is on all the time.
This has been puzzling me for quiet sometime.

Could be NFC icw cover with cards in it?
With NiceCatch module of GoodLock (or NiceLock) it is logged and shows you what caused the system (or other-) sound and vibrations...

Sorry folks the day I posted this I was involved in a head on motorcycle accident with a gmc Sierra. I am alive and well. And now I have the fold3 obviously I never figured out what caused the unusual vibrations.... but oh well

Less responsive touch screen at random times

It seems the touchscreen of my Desire gets less responsive at random times. Anyone else who has this problem as well?
The touchscreen of the Desire is very sensitive in most cases. But it sometimes (randomly) becomes less responsive. I have to give more pressure for the screen to register the touch. This is especially annoying when typing an e-mail or text message.
But for example: when sliding between the screens at the homescreen (Sense), you have to barely touch the screen to slide. When my 'problem' appears, I can actually feel and slide on the screen but nothing happens. When applying more force it does work, but is not as comfortable...
When I reboot the problem seems to be gone for a while, but at some point it becomes less responsive again.
Obviously I have tried uninstalling apps and widgets and see what happens then. But the problem remains. Hard reset/factory reset appears to be working at first, but again after some time the screen becomes less responsive again. This can be after a few minutes or after a few hours. The only way to 'solve' this is to reboot the phone again.
So! Is there anyone who is experiencing the same problems? Because of the factory reset (and obviously not installing any apps after that reset) it seems to me this is some sort of hardware problem.
Any takes on the issue?
I only get such a problem when my hands are sweaty or sticky and when the screen is smudgy. I'm a cleanliness freak though so I naturally keep my hands and the screen very clean avoiding this problem. Otherwise everything is pretty darn consistent on my side... except for one oddity.
I struggled with this phone for months and then gave up trying to type or even just use the touchscreen while it's laying flat on any surface. Most of the touches just never registered, honestly. Even when applying a lot of pressure. Until last week, quite unexpectedly, the touches started registering perfectly. Just as good as when holding it vertical. I was quite amazed and baffled at how something just changed automatically to improve it significantly. The only other observational change in sync was that some apps that kept changing the phones layout based on the way I'm holding it even when I had disabled this feature (like the Tapatalk XDA app) have started working correctly as set now. Just all of a sudden.
I haven't made any setting or config change. I did root a while back but unrooted very soon after by flashing the stock T-Mobile ROM and things were still as bad as the beginning. That's something like 2 months back.

Ok, weird!
Since I am able to reproduce this with and without installed software (hard reset, no sim, no sd, no nothing) I can only assume it's some sort of hardware problem.
So off to repair department it goes! Thought I'd post it here and perhaps someone would have a solution saying:"Oh! That's this or that". You never know
What I found is sometimes it's unresponsive but it's *puts on black roll neck and jeans* the way that I'm holding it.
I think if you squeeze the phone too much it registers a touch on the side of the screen. Also so times when I'm using it one handed the ball of the bottom of my thumb touches the screen and this is registering, making the rest of the screen unresponsive.
I'd consider this to be the problem first (as annoying as it is). I used to have the 2nd problem on the iPhone, but not the first. It's a bit upsetting but I got over it.

Are you using a screen protector at all?
Since you have the same problem after performing a hard reset, maybe you should consider taking it back to the vendor for a warranty repair or replacement as it could be a faulty digitizer.

[Q] Blank or color-pixeled screen, suddenly! What's up?

I've been experiencing the following symptoms in the last 24 hours or so, on a Tilt2, stock ROM:
-Frequent unsuccessful attempts to wake the phone from sleep. Often takes a few tries, usually successful, but I've felt the need to reset at least twice today.
-Occasional full-screen random color pixellation upon wake attempt. This generally goes away after a second or two, but sometimes I need a few wake attempts to get it off.
I am speculating that this might have something to do with the GMail IMAP issues that some people are having in the last day or two, or at least that's my best guess at associating it with a known issue, but I have really no idea. I've changed nothing, and I can't think of any possible traumatic experiences the device has gone through recently.
Everything worked fine yesterday, and has worked fine for over a year.
Follow-up, I hadn't yet noticed patterns in the issue until more recently. Now, I see that the problem occurs more in portrait.
Symptoms include:
-Landscape - generally normal touchscreen operation, I remember one time having some odd hardware keyboard behavior, though can't remember exactly what it was doing. I have also noticed that the power button seems to have no effect when in landscape.
-Portrait - phone is sluggish to wake, occasionally waking up to that random color pixel screen. Screen often freezes. Sometimes it comes back to normal, other times not. Power button seems to work normally, at least in toggling sleep/wake states.
I'm now thinking this probably does NOT have to do with the GMail IMAP issue, as some screen difficulty is occurring immediately upon power-on at times, before WinMo even begins to start.
I'm thinking some bad circuitry somewhere for whatever reason, and it might soon be time to evaluate repair/replacement options. Not sure what happened.
Which begs the side question, anyone have any idea what AT&T is replacing the Tilt2 with on insurance claims these days?

[Q] Screen goes randomly off

Hello,
The screen of my moto 360 goes randomly off and vibrates at that moment, just like when you dim the screen with your hand., but now I'm using it. It's very frustrating because I can't even open an app normally or the screen goed of and I need to start over again. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Having same issues with mine.
Really strange and really annoying. Its like when u cover it with palm. It vibrates and screen goes off but ur in the middle of trying to do something. Anyone else having this problem?
Glad I'm not the only one having this issue, just got my Moto 360 today. I'll be in the Settings or other parts of the watch and it will just randomly turn off. It is really frustrating to deal with.
I have the same issue. I have pretty hairy arms so I wonder if the hairs are somehow triggering the capacitive touch screen.
you guys try to do a reset on the watch yet?? not just a reboot..
Any updates on this? I'm having the same issue
Any updates? I have the same issue I think it happend after udate to 5.0.2 but I'm not sure.
I'm also having the same problem. I picked up a new Moto 360 during the BBY sale rush of the last couple of days. At first it was buggy but the screen seemed to stay on while working with it. Then it had a system update, and since then most bug issues (like the faces not updating with the companion app changes) went away, however from that point the screen constantly shuts off, usually with a little buzz, while I'm interacting with the watch.
For instance, regarding the sensor used to turn off the watch if you palm it. I thought maybe that was it, so I was looking for a way to turn that off. I went into settings, and spend about 10 times of the screen shutting off before I could get to "accessibility settings" just to see if that might be there.
This problem occurs whether I'm wearing the watch or not (trying to eliminate arm hair or similar), and has occurred after a factory reset and re-pair with my phone (Note 4). Ambient sensor settings don't help, because all that does is make the screen go dark instead of off, but it still reverts back to the clock no matter what I was doing.
Any ideas? Any way to turn off a sensor perhaps, maybe in a custom ROM? Since this seems to be associated with an update near as I can tell, I wonder if a fix is coming from Moto or if it's too rare of an issue to be on their radar.
As an update, I replaced the watch with a new one, and this new watch is perfect. It started on outdated software which I left on for a bit to make sure it didn't show the problem, then I updated. Still no issues. I think there is a chance the problem is software regardless, but either way it must be a small portion of watches and isn't necessarily tied to any particular outside software influence (phone model or android version, or installed apps as NONE of those things changed). My advice to people reading this thread is to exchange the watch or get an RMA if possible.
Same Issue
Hi All,
I have the same issue. Sent it back for repair so let's see...
Same issue here as well

Brightness suddenly tied to various sensors, any ideas?

Hello! Firstly I'd like to say thanks to any regular posters, this site helped me root my phone in the first place! I am trying to sort out what might be the cause of this problem and remove it, hopefully without starting over, as it was a pain in the butt to get the phone set up how I wanted and I do not have a full night to commit to it at the moment.
I have a Samsung S2 (the t-mobile branded one, sgh-t989), android 4.1.2 (kernel 3.0.31-1003885). This problem is recent and came on suddenly without changing any settings or installing any new software. The phone behaved normally for the first few months I owned it, it is a used phone, however, and I have no idea how the original owner treated it.
The problem is that brightness becomes tied to one or more of the sensors, and it takes several restarts, or sometimes days of waiting for the problem to go away. The brightness most often becomes tied to the accelerometer, where having the phone pointed at 45 degrees (or 01:30 o'clock), results in near 0% brightness, while returning to full brightness at 90-0 (or 3 through 12 o'clock). Occasionally it ties to another sensor (proximity?) or changes seemingly randomly, and once or twice has tied to the compass, with North being the brightness sink (with a similar 'darkness range' to orientation). The problem starts without a discernable cause.
Whatever the problem is, it also appears to disable, or for the most part inhibit multitouch. Around the time the problem started, tasker disabled and refuses to re-enable, if it is relevant. Shortly after the problem started, any push notification began turning on the screen (with a normal timeout, however). The problem persists through changing of any of the settings, toggling any modules, and through multiple resets, and never resolves itself without a cycle of multiple pulling-outs of the battery. After it is resolved, it usually remains fixed for a day or so before re-appearing.
If anyone has any suggestions for chasing down the problem, or has heard of anything similar, I'm all ears. I would like to avoid doing a factory reset, especially since I have no assurance it will resolve the problem. I'm happy to provide any additional information. Thanks for your help!

screen won't wake up sometimes

Hi,
My phone sometimes doesn't respond when I try to wake up the screen. Double tap, power button, fingerprint, nothing works. The only thing I can do at that point is to force reboot. This is a pretty serious issue. When this happens I had to wait for it to reboot.
Anyone else having this issue?
I'm also experiencing this and I'm not able to reproduce it. It drives me crazy, I so wanted to like this phone
That has happened to me too. Probably 3 - 4x over the course of a little over two months of use.
HMD Global's software sucks. This will be my last "Nokia".

Their hardware is pretty good. Only if the bootloader can be easily unlocked... this would be a good phone.
I think I may have experienced what you're talking about. Most of the time for me, it seems to be a notification screen overlay issue. When it happens, I get no reaction on my screen until I brush from the top down, as if I'm pulling down the notification screen. After that, the phone rights itself and behaves normally.
I've experienced this in the past and recently. Not often, but sometimes. It seems to be camera-related.
