Hi,
Is anyone else getting an error where your screen when left alone goes completely blank, finger print and AOD not showing, sometimes I can guess where the fingerprint sensor is, sometimes even that doesn't work?
Also the AOD sometimes rotates, which obviously puts the finger print sign in the wrong place!
On both occasions pressing the power button a couple of times fixes, but annoying!
Is this a known fault and is there a fix?

how on earth do you activate the screen? not sure if it is normal, but when i make an outbound call the screen shuts down, and no matter what buttons i press the screen doesn't come back. i guess it makes sense that the touch screen is not on when it is pressed against your face or ear, but i would just like to know how to bring the screen back as it is not all that obvious to me.
shake the screen
The proximity sensor is at the very top of the screen, near the top left corner. Normally, this dims the screen when you hold the phone to your ear and talk. Make sure you are not accidentally covering that spot when you grip the phone. Try calling a number and covering/uncovering the top left of the screen, and you should see the screen come on and off as you do this. There is a little delay, so don't expect instant results. If the delay is more than a second or so, something is wrong. If you are sure you are not covering the sensor and the screen is dimming unexpectedly, the phone is defective and should be returned or exchanged. The screen should always come on during a call when the sensor is uncovered, to allow you do dial additional numbers, hang up, etc.
Just want to know if people have experienced weird problems with their touch screen on their Gnexus, i've had this phone for less than 1 week, and the problem arised twice.
the screen just dont reach to your finger touch, normally you swipe left or right in the home screen, and the pages just moves to the next screen centered, but the screen just stops when ever you let go, and on home screen when you push and hold an icon or widget the bin pops up at top to discard the item, on my phone, just a slight touch and no need to touch and hold will do the same thing. it's just like the screen has gone malfunction randomly with the screen registering a touch. I also think this happed when it is connected to a non samsung charger, but not too sure if i had the charger connected.
to rectify the problem, you need to power down the phone and on.
not too sure if this is a bug, or problem with the display, it's very hard to discribe it, but it's not normal.
thanks
I love the Note 5, but I keep accidentally putting calls on hold when using it in the "traditional" way - putting the phone to my ear.
I've discovered that somehow the screen is coming back to life while I talk - and I'm accidentally touching the "On Hold" virtual button on the call screen in the upper right corner.
I feel a bit stupid even posting this, but the Note 5 is my first Lollipop and phablet experience. I don't remember the "On Hold" button even showing up on my GSIV call screen. Could it be a proximity sensor issue?
Has anyone else experienced this and if so, is there a fix?
Yes, your proximity sensor may be defective. My screen stays off when I hold the phone to my ear.
As a mitigation, you could try keeping your fingers on the side of the phone, off the screen, and lower than where the hold button is; also, hold the phone at an angle, with only the top edge held against your ear.
I have the same problem...the proximity sensor is fine, screen does go blank when on call..but nearly every day, maybe due to angle I hold phone which makes it think I am not on the phone! It keeps going on hold. Any way to resolve? Or any workarounds people have done? Really annoying, sometimes happens 2-3 times on the same call!!!
I am having the same issue. Any fix for this?
Could glass screen protector be causing this?
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.
Hello everyone.
A few days ago a strange thing happened to the pixel c: half of then screen is corrupted, sometimes showing weird colors, and sometimes having strange artifacts. If I press firmly in one of the corner, it works fine for a few seconds. I attached a Pic.
Another thing is that once it gets to sleep more, the screen doesn't wake up.
Touch screen and buttons do work, but I can't turn on the screen.
I tried a hard reset but it didn't change anything.
Is there anything else I can try to do? Is opening it up to see for a faulty connection very difficult?
Thanks for any help!!
Any idea?
