I had the same issue with my SII - I did a nand back up and then did a factory reset - had no issues after that - my SIII hasn't had any issues yet (touch wood)

Any solution to try without factory reset?
Why there is no calibration option :-S ?

White screen when I eject qwerty and functionless buttons bottom display..

Hi,
When I eject the qwerty keyboard, screen goes white. Its maybe do the sensor, but when I press the power button twice (its mean take off take on display) the screen is ok and landscape. I do hard reset but it isnt help.

Thanks for every solution.

I think that when you slide the keyboard, the connector wobbles thus a white screen.

If the backligt is not damaged you can go to start->settings->System->Backlight and change backlight level. You can view items from the display with an external light iluminating the screen. If is damaged try to dezassembly and check first display connectors... and if are ok you have to replace the display.
try to click on the middle of the screen for many several times and click on the whole screen till u get response and don't make the phone in hot weather or make it make friction with anything !!

If only the calibration is your problem, then try to restart calibration aplications from Settings->System->Screen->Align Screen using hardware keyboard. Calibration data are registry keys..

capacitive button issue

This morning I started having an issue with my edge.
Whenever I touch the screen, both capacitive buttons light up. Causing for irregular behaviour when using the phone. Is there a screen calibration mode or should I return it for a new phone.
Mine does the same thing. I'm pretty sure that's standard.
Agreed. Sounds like normal behavior to me.
I fail to see how this is an issue?
It's an issue in the sense that previously on galaxy models they only light up when you press them. It's a bit ridiculous and waste of battery to have them lighting up every time you interact with the phone.
And for reasons unknown, every s6 excluding the att version has had the setting to turn off the lights removed.

That is not true.
The S5 cap lights also light up when you touch the screen. That is how it should work. It would ridiculous for it to NOT light up every time you interact with the phone (assuming you wanted them on at all).
It would be nice to have the option to turn them off. That doesn't make it an issue--more of a feature request.

They really don't use any noticable battery.

If you enable power saving mode it turns them off FWIW.
Fix for this issue
Hi,
please check my reply in the S6 thread on the same issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60009456&postcount=12
Hi, I have the S6 Edge. The touch key lights are not working at all. In Settings I have the Touch Key Light duration set to "Always On". Power Saving Mode is off, but they still won't come on. The keys do blink briefly during startup, so I do know they physically work. Any ideas? Thanks
Some times my capacitive buttons stop working altogether. It happened to me twice so far. It lasts about a minute. No response no light, nothing. Anyone else?

Where are you finding the "Touch Key Light" settings? I don't seem to see them.

Yes, I am having the same issue. I thought it might be an app but I have removed all of them and it still happens. So annoying!! Even a reboot doesn't help.

This is not on the SM-G925W8 version either.
Sometimes these buttons stop working all together and sometimes they both switch to become the task switcher button. The Back Key will no longer function to move you back a page! Very annoying. I am thinking the only fix might be a complete factory reset??
BTW, when this happens, something is loading in the background. Just before my buttons stop working, a get a very small vibration similar to when your device boots up. From that point forward the buttons don't work. It can last 1/2 hour or up to 2-3 hours before it clears itself up??
Update: I did a factory reset and it didn't do any good. There are literally thousands of posts on the web about this issue and no resolution. If you have this issue, I think you need to send your unit back.
I have a SAMSUNG-SM-G925A running stock AT&T Android 5.02
I dunno, received my Edge today and my capacitive buttons only light up when I click them.
I took my phone back today and Rogers very quickly gave me a replacement phone. Capacitive buttons working well on this one!!
Everything was working as expected and the two buttons (Back and running apps) stopped working, i made a factory rest and it did not help, I am suspecting the cover that have magnets in it and I removed it, shut down the phone for few minutes but it did not help, I will try extending the time it is shut down and see the results.
For those with button light issues try this app "Galaxy Button Lights". I'm not allowed to post external links here but you can find it in Google Play.

Exact the same problem I have. I reflashed the rooted *.tot file on my H961N (Lollipop, V10c). It's OK for 6-8 calls and after, the screen is not responding, Proximity sensor: no reaction. Knock on screen: no reaction. I must press the power button to wake up the screen. I tried to rewrite with RootExplorer the foder LGInCallUi and LGContacts from an earlier version (V10a-HKG-xx). Nothing. I wiped the cache. Nothing. I don't know what to do Need help. Thanks.
Cleaning the sensor makes it work a few times, then clean again, after we know the problem it is not too bad
Some of LG V10 has that problem but most of Korea's version (F600/s/l/k) . I'm using H960(viet nam),it's working okay and F600k is working not good (proximity sensor ), it's also mine . I think that's hardware.

I have this weird issue that my phone's display goes yellow and flickers a lot when I open it using power button or hard press home button but if always on display is set to ON the display turns on normally without any issue howsoever I open it either by the home button or any other way
and even after the call as the proximity sensor turns the display black the problem starts again as soon as the call ends, so please someone could help me is it a software issue or hardware? I'm on latest stable android one.

Yes a temporary solution is to turn on AOD and then single tap the screen, after that press the power button to avoid the yellow flicker or complete black screen.
