I'm sorry if this was asked before, but it's pretty urgent.
My hd 2 awakes right after I put it to sleep (means turning the display off) - it just awakes itself. That drains battery and I can't put it in standby. Looked up settings, there is nothing wrong with the settings.
Vibration also doesn't work anymore, although it's active.
So how can I solve either problem?
Thanks in advance

Doesn't anybody has an idea? It's really annoying and I don't really want to send it to repair, since I don't have the slightest clue, where the bill is :-/

Ok this is odd. I dont know what I did but my HD2 was doing the same thing. I would push the red button to put it to sleep and it would just keep waking up. screen would go off and on. I did a hard reset and its fine now.
Well, I never had that idea...but thanks for the hint, I might as well try that

If it works and it stops doing the nonstop wakeup thing. Please let us know so anyone who has the same problem can find this and know what they can do to fix it.
It just disappeared : o
I don't know how or why, but as I restarted my phone this morning, the issue was just gone and finally it stays in standby without turning on by itself :/

hey at least its gone. now if it happens again you know all you have to do is goto bed and when you wake up restart you phone.

I've been using my sgs3 with smart stay enabled and noticed it doesn't seem to be sensing me looking at it.. I wear glasses.. and I'm wondering if this is a limitation ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I also wear glasses and i find it works fine for me. Remember it doesnt work in low lights.
I Just tested it and it's not working without glasses on either. I see the 'eye' in the notification bar flash after 15 seconds, then it dims the screen, then again 5 seconds later and then screen switches off.
I've had smart stay enabled since day 0 and the phones had a few power cycles/reboots.

Doesn't work for me with my glasses on or off. Must be my face!
doesn't work for me either. not smart
maybe the galaxy just doesn't like your faces?
maybe that's what samsung meant with it being smart. hehe
seriously i have read somewhere it is the face it is tracking not just the eyes.
It even worked when my Dogs were looking at at a few times, and it's annoying because often I put phone off to the side not looking at it and still stays on and wasting battery.
I'm sorry, I didn't realise Samsung required users to look like dogs for this feature to work.
I'm thinking of flashing a custom Rom anyhow.. be interesting to see f it works on another Rom.

Well I do look a bit Ruff.
I just got my Galaxy. Seem to have the same issue, it's not working. Well I think there will be a software update soon enough.
If I consciously blink every so often I'm able to keep the screen on, but if I don't move or blink it turns off - at least that's how it seems to me.
Can't really get it working consistently yet.
I've had my phone since launch and it dimms but never turns off. I wear both glasses and contact lenses.
If the front camera is.nt pointed towards your face it may turn off however which is annoying sonetimes

Hi,
I got smart stay working!
I opened the camera, switched to front facing and positioned the camera so that my face was in the centre of the screen and taking up about 50% of the area.
Now when switching to home screen the little eye kept popping up and going away and the screen stayed on!

I noticed it works flawless. I have it set too 30 seconds.

Great
I find it very useful and works great, I don't wear glasses and I'v only had it two days but does as expected, I can look at it for 10 minutes and it won't turn off, if i point it away from me it turns off after my timeout.
I found if I closed my eyes and squinted one eye a tiny bit open it still didn't turn off though, but it's not like I'm playing hide and seek with it.

Doesn't work for me
when i watch the screen, the screen didn't turn off, -> ok, this is work
but then i closed my eyes about 2 minutes, then when I opened my eyes, the screen didn't turn off
It works for me. I don't wear glasses though.
Correction, it has problems in landscape mode.

I find it is a mixed bag. It rarely turns off when I am looking at it. But on lots of apps the screen dims meaning I have to touch the screen anyway. This rather defeats the point if you ask me!

I was very excited by the Smart Stay feature of SGSIII but after a few days, experience, my opinion is that it does not work. I set the timeout to 15 sec. The eye flashes in the notification bar but most of the time screen is turned off. I tried staring directly at the front camera. Tried various positions too but no result. And all this is done in a normal lit room. Then I tried removing my specs and then it seems to work. Since I can't do much without them, so no fixed observation. Can anybody help?
do you wear glasses?

Any particular setting? Or particular angle at which you keep your phone? Mine for sure does not work. The eye flashes but then the screen is also turned off.
I have the same issue too. Does anyone know the issue and how to overcome it? Thanks
I get mixed results with it. It works under ideal conditions but I had to extend the dim period to use it in everyday use.
The icon appears to show that the phone is checking for a face and not confirming it saw one. I see it flash even when looking from an angle where I'm definitely out of the camera frame.

Me and a friend we bought s3 and both of us having an issue with smart stay !It works after you open the device for the 15-30 minutes and after that nothing,after the eye appears the screen goes off!We are not wearing glasses!!So any idea what cause that?A possible bug of it?Or any future update will fix it?
you guys running on XXfl2 or whatever it is?
smart stay works really well for me, never has an issue, even at acute angles
It never works for me.
Then again... I'm way to ugly for my phone to stay with me.
Smartphone's R getting to smart I guess.
Works great for me too...
Samsung already stated they are working on improving the feature as it is not yet capable of handling some light conditions, and most glasses.

Works fine for me with glasses, as long as the phone's front camera is pointing right at me.
The flashing eye means its searching for a face; the only indication that it has recognised you is that the screen doesn't turn off.
Same issue!
Yup, facing the same problem. Keep staring at the screen for hours for the damn thing to work. But it just wont. I have tried with my glasses off. Got the same result. The eye appears on the screen twice. The first time it dims the screen, the second time it shuts it off. I have tried different angles, but have finally resigned to my fate, unless XDA/Sammy figure it out!
not working for me 2
I am not wearing any glasses but it simply dont wok tried to change the angels but no luck ... hope it need improvement. This was the main reason to purchase the s3 but....
Mine works quite well, feels like its abit of a battery drain though.

It needs to be a nice distance from your face to pick up your eyes, light is an issue too.
Its a nice feature that has some obvious issues on a 1.X MP camera.

Samsung patented this feature so i guess the app dev is in a bit of danger unless he is not really rich.
Other apps wont be as good either, as smart stay was made with this hardware in mind (namely the camera). Others will have to bend and shape to fit multiple cameras, making detection algorithms not as strong.

Is it normal for the notification light to barely work? Most of the time it barely works, but once in a while it comes on. Same with using light flow... Same condition. I am stock, rooted, Trinity kernel, nothing else. Anyone have a perfectly working light? I've tried factory reset, re flashing, etc. I am hoping this isn't a hardware problem but I think I would take a good screen ice a good notification light.

Mine hasn't worked since I got it last week. Reading around the forum it would appear that it is not uncommon. I think it is a bug within the OS, some folks have had luck forcing it on using some app in the Play Store, while others have not been so well off.
Some people have had success getting the notification light to work by rebooting when charging. This worked for me but I know it hasn't worked for everyone.
Problem must be in Google software. Mine too was the like described above while stock. I just installed AOKP & the rom has a led-light settings control. In it you can set colors, blink time & rate, etc. Works fine for whatever you have set it for.

I've had the same issue with mine. If I boot while plugged in the light works.

mine seems to be working just fine
It's really weird that some people on stock are having problems with the notification lights... I'm assuming you have the settings for pulse notification on... and also that you know that on stock, the LED lights up only when the screen is off...
That said, I've had no problems with the LED notifications with custom ROM (my AOSP+, AOKP, CM10.1 & Evervolv)... haven't use PA, so I can't comment there!!
Only saw this while on stock. No issues with CM10.1

I've gone through three units for various issues. The first two had a perfectly working LED, the one I kept only works when booted while plugged in. So it's random and not a user issue at all.

If it isn't user related then is it faulty hardware or Google software?

Wait a minute. This thing has a notification light? I received mine yesterday and it hasn't worked yet. I charge it and nothing whether it's on or off. Can I turn it on?
Edit: WTF!!!! Just to make sure I plugged it in while the screen was on and nothing. I will give this tablet some credit on the the quality and awesome hardware it has but just from having it since yesterday I'm getting really pissed at the lagging in the browser and gaming. I know I can install the aokp browser and that will fix one issue but to fix the other I'm going to have to install an overclockable kernel to boost things to see if it helps. Then from what I've read, once you do that you might have overheating issues!!!! Geese!!!

The notification light works once you restart the tablet with the charger plugged in
Just throw lightflow on it and be done with it. Mine wasnt working either, but put lightflow on it and it works great now.
Nine kinda does it's own thing. We have an understanding.

All of the units I've had so far have had a working notification light no matter how I've turned it on. If yours only randomly blinks from time to time, RMA it.

Easier said than done. The replacement may have light bleed or dust under the screen. The three replacements after that might have issues too.

Once I switched roms it was fine. It's all in the stock ROM. Cm, pa, etc all have good notification light operation.

Guys don't get me wrong. I love this damn thing. The screen is awesome and I installed ocean browser and disabled chrome and it Friggin FLIES in internet browsing. Was getting very frustrated yesterday though until I installed the new browser. One problem solved and only one more to go with stopping the lag in gaming. I know the hardware can handle it but I guess it's down to the thermal throttling from what I understand. If we can fix that and keep it from overheating this thing would be unstoppable.
Edit: the notification light thing just irritates me a little having spent over 500 on this thing and it everything not working out of the box. I know I could fix it with light flow but I shouldn't have to do that.

Never had a problem with mine? It always seems to work..
During a call my screen turns off like normal but just recently when it turns off, I can't turn it back on even when pressing the power or home button. There are rare occasions where even when I'm not on the phone, I can't turn the screen on.. It always results in a battery pull then it works fine again. My phone was normal and working perfectly and I haven't done any mods.. Kinda weird, anyone with input on this?
I'm rooted running version 2 Jbomb, 2.3 beastmode kernel, mj4. Could it maybe be these apps that cause this, lux, gravity screen, light flow.. Those are the 3 main apps that are always running.

Sounds like you may have some gremlins. I would do a clean install of your ROM and install those 3 apps 1 at a time checking for the problem to repeat. Joshes ROMs are typically very clean. Could be the Beastmode kernel also.

Nope. Most likely dirt in your proximity sensor. Try blowing real hard in the ear piece or use one if those air cans. Mine does the same and it sounds like a lot of people have the same issue

I can guarantee it's. Gravity Screen. I use both Lux and Gravity Screen and I'm on a Nexus 4. Google brought me here. I was hoping I'd find something in the gravity screen thread but search isn't picking anyone talking about it.
fwiw I only use it for the Keep Screen On by motion so any the other features are unchecked.
I also use an app called screebl which is more reliable and has been around much longer but I flip between the two.
Screebl also got completely rewritten recently so I'm thinking it's probably the more reliable of the two since it's been around longer.
Aside from that I'm thinking it might be the Running During Call checkbox since it's the only other checkbox checked.
I'd disabled the other settings by moving the sliders to zero (per the developer) and unchecking everything but the 2 checkboxes for keeping screen on by motion-left its slider at 50.
...so either uncheck that ringer checkbox. If that doesn't work it's a bug with the app.
It's inherent to almost any Samsung phone. My SII did it. My S4 did it. My Note 3 does it.
It has to do with the proximity sensor changing too quickly.

Sometimes it cuts both ways, with the rare occasion of the screen not waking up when a call comes in. If you're running deep sleep app, sometimes that can be the culprit. I still use it, though.
