Question Front camera always visible - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3

The front camera of my Z Fold 3 is always black, it shows as a black drop whenever I am watching a video, browsing internet etc. I cannot find any configuration related to this behaviour. Maybe it’s malfunctioning? Any ideas?

Front as on cover screen or the under display camera on the inside big screen?
And not a settings. The inside camera will always change

For me, on the cover screen. How do you fix this?

Yea the cover screen is a normal camera. It will always show

I do not recall it being black until I open Kindle app.

Maybe I did not notice.

Sorry I meant the inside under display camera. It’s never hidden. I will try Samsung support, thanks for the help.

If you have good lock check setting in MultiStar > I Galaxy Foldable > UDC with black. If you enable this, under display camera will alway show on screen.

@o601 Yes! That was it. You are a life saver, I talked to Samsung and they couldnt help, so I was about to bring back the phone for repair. Thank you very much

Interesting "Three Dots" Alternative That Never Made It

I happened to see a vid posted online comparing a prototype AT&T XL to the One X. It's got a different approach to the settings dots than what ended up implemented. It's an overlay that doesn't reduce the available size of the screen. I get that you hit the down arrow to hide it. But how would get get it to redisplay? I guess we'll never know.

There's also a really stupid feature on the One X. You can set the off button to hang up on calls (I liked it on the SGS2). When you're on the phone the screen blanks to save battery. So with a blank screen and no physical or active buttons, the only button that functions is the on/off switch. In other words, once the screen goes blank it has to stay that way until you hang up the call. Interesting feature.

The phone uses the proximity sensor, when you place it close to your ear the screen blanks, when you take it away the screen turns on again. You don't need the power button.
That arrow to pulls 3 dots bar down comes on 1.19 software. I had it before but I updated to 1.26 and it was gone

Not on BT. That's the way I was using it when I found the problem. Good point though.

After you arrowed it down, how were you able to get it to redisplay?

By holding down the recent apps button. I also had it in 1.19 but then it was removed when i updated to 1.28

M8 camera problem, pictures gets small pink/purple areas!

Hello,
Only me having problems with small areas in some photos getting over-saturated in pink/purple?
I'm using stock settings or whatever but it still doesn't help. If I try the Google Camera this is gone, so it seems to be something with the image processing? :S
Just look at these photos I took:

I had the M7 and this isssue and its not the same really, the M7 issue was more of a purple gradient at the end of the picture xD
This is like small dots showing up in bright areas. If I take a picture with the recently released Google Camera this is all gone, so its software based somehow
But thanks anyway man :victory:
Can't even see what you're showing us lol
I most definitely don't have the eye, but I swear I can't spot whatever you are marking

I just noticed the same issue just today.. and it's driving me nuts!

I definitely see it. And I am no picture guru at all.
Looks like you got a defective unit ?
HTC UltimEight ?
Does the issue show up in the same spot on the pics? Like a hot photo sensor pixel will do? Or is it in random locations?

Question Dim lock screen notifications

After latest update the lock screen notifications are so dim that they cannot be read ,I am using dark mode. Also is there anyway to lengthen the time they are on screen because they are to fast. Regards
Can you give us a screenshot? I haven't noticed any problem. Thanks.
Thanks. How can I get a screen shot of the lock screen. Regards
Definitely noticed this after side loading the December update.

Volume Down button + Power button. Just make sure and Magick Erase any personal information before sharing.
That's the universal (at least on Android) method to take screenshots most anywhere.
New screenshot, with sample notification:

No I'm taking about the notification pill that comes on the lock screen for about 2 seconds. You cannot take a screen shot because it will wake up phone with the power button
Are you talking about the AOD? Mine is dim too since the December update.

I guess I don't know what you're referring to, but I wish I did. How about a photo of it using an old phone if you have one available? Do you use the fingerprint reader? If you don't, I'm not going to disable mine to try to reproduce the same issue, but anything I do that shows me the lock screen (tapping on the screen, pressing the power button), doesn't show anything dim for me for two seconds.

Ah! I see. I have AOD on but I'm using AODNotify's optional feature where I have it set not to show AOD except when I have a notification, and even then to minimize what to show.
Oh well.

Question Aod glitches in pixel 6 pro

Has anyone seen this glitch?? Its odd.

Question Rainbow color while charging

Just got a OnePlus 11 and noticed this rainbow screen when phone is charging. Is anyone else getting that too? I can't seem to figure out how to stop this or change it.
Thank you.

It’s a screensaver. I Do not have this device or brand, but try searching settings for screen saver.
I have looked in all sections. There is no screensaver section. I had thought it was perhaps Google Ambient mode but it was not that either. Just weird.
Is it Day Dream?
Settings > Display > Day Dream and press off
No such setting. Still looking for a solution.
Did you ever find a solution? I have the same phone and same issue. No daydream no screen saver, can't find a setting to turn it off or change it.
Have you installed Google Clock?

Nope, this is right out of the box it started doing it.
Almost looks like when screen is messed up...try power down and plug in charger...see if get circle with lightening bolt
Clearly a software issue. Maybe a stock or third party launcher or different app settings, battery monitor/manager app?
Hey! Did you manage to solve it?
I'm having the same issue. The preferred behavior would be to turn of the screen with the same settings as when is not charging.
I didn't find any screen saver/ambient mode/colours option.
Thanks in advance!

did you enable this? if so, deactivate this then the display should also go off again when you Charge your phone

Nope, I have it disabled.
That option keeps the screen on when it's charging, but what it's happening is that the rainbow screen saver (I think the name is "colour") is showing up. With that option, the screen saver never shows up.
But thanks for your help!
If the item is not in the settings, then you can launch it through the Activity Launcher
