Listing some bugs and improvements
Bugs:
1. Screenshot does not cover entire screen area
2. No smooth transition for notifications
3. Auto brightness calibration is unstable
.
.
Improvements:
1. Enable hide notch option
2. Battery percentage in status bar

headsup notification lost animation compared to third party roms like RR,AICP,OMNI.
and the statusbar icons are too crowded
Swiping down the notification bar once doesn't have a smooth animation it really bugs me!

I would rather say it is more advantage than shortcoming.
Battery percentage would be very pleasant. It's pretty much my only gripe about the phone so far.
when power button is pressed to lock the screen it first flashes red then turns off
similarly when brightness is reduced too quickly, screen has red tint and then brightness gets lowered
That must be your device. Mine has no such issues.

It's supposed to be a turn off effect/animation, the screen goes off with that 3D-movie effect. It's not a bug.

If its supposed to be a feature, then why does it only shows red tint where the screen is white?
My uncle also has the same phone, i didn't notice this happening to his phone. Does it happen to you too?

Can you share a screenshot? We might be talking about totally different things.. And about the effect I'm talking about, i can't like intentionally notice it if i look at screen going off very carefully but only notice it sometimes (like an offguard thing), it barely lasts 0.1 second before screen goes off!

I think we're talking about the same thing if you say it lasts only a split second before screen going black, So i cant post a screenshot.
And the red flash only comes where the screen is on White UI, like when im in settings or google app. Where ever the the lcd is white, it flashes red just a fraction of a second before going off.

It looks more like an intentional thing rather than a bug to me! I doesn't cause any problem.

Here's the link to the video of that red flash, i made the video in slow motion. I asked the online vendor to replace it, and even went to service centre, they both denied.

Oh that looks bad.. That's not the thing that happens with me, it's goes like the black shadows of fonts and icons go briefly red before going off, it's probably a bug in that feature for u..

just noticed another bug.
the option to switch off ambient display is greyed off for me, everytime the phone is on table its always on the ambient display without any movement.
I lock the phone and it comes to ambient display within 2 seconds.
Has anybody had any issues connecting Bluetooth devices? I have an Anker Soundbuds Slim+ BT headset - and the X6 just doesn't see them. I can pair them with my Fitbit Ionic in 3 seconds, but when I try to pair them with the phone, they're simply not detected?! I have connected different headsets without issue. These buds work on BT 4.1, so they should work with this phone, right?!
D'oh. Just noticed that it had previously paired - so was hiding in "previously connected devices". Never mind...

Hi
Since there is yet again no notification LED on the SGS2 i was wondering if a Button Backlight Notification like for the original SGS is in the works.
thank you
NoLed already works
I think OP asked for a Button Backlight Notification, not a screen LED notification. If there were application which could allow to glow the touch sensitive buttons (Menu & Back) then it would be great.

NoLed has such an option. Besides, it's not important since the app has an option to shut the display off when the proximity sensor feels something close by (like when the phone is in a pocket or bag).

Oops! Didn't find that option, can you please tell me where it is? And also is there a way to turn the screen LED notification Off?
It's under 'Battery saving features', there's a check box for Dismiss with Proximity Sensor.

Thanks, but if I check that box only the screen goes off with a small red box moving on the screen but the Touch sensitive buttons are not glowing!

Yeah, I meant the second bit (about turning the display off in your pocket or whatever) and even then I think I meant the check box below, sorry - feeling a bit scrambled today.
I'm after something that will light up the touch buttons too

Hmm.......
I've looked that up but I can't find this feature. It looks like I've mixed things up with some forum posts, like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-730692-p-10.html
"The Menu and Back capacitive buttons also light up with screen notification. This has increased battery drain significantly."

Actually the option is "Proximity Sensor" just bellow "Dismiss with Proximity Sensor".
Hey guys, I got my phone last Saturday and have been playing around with it ever since.
I noticed that I had the night clock bug (whole screen is lit up) and as far as I know it's already a confirmed software bug. What I also noticed though was that my lock screen is also lit up. I'm using a pure black wallpaper which works well when the phone is unlocked (appears pure black) but the black is lit up when the lock screen is shown. It's almost like there's backlight bleeding. In the home screen and lock screen preview though it shows that it should be pure black
Here are screenshots of the "bug". I'm actually thinking it's a software bug since it was captured by the screenshot. http://imgur.com/a/p5maP (Take note the the blacks on the first image is different from the other 3)
Was wondering if this bug is related to the night clock bug or a defect with my unit.
If anyone is willing to help, kindly try changing your wallpaper to a solid black color and check if the blacks on the home screen and lock screen is different.
Thanks! (I have 4 days left until I won't be abe to replace my unit so I'm trying to make sure everything's good)

They're referring to the Night Clock alone. I have that problem as well as a lockscreen problem. Haven't seen anyone reporting if they have the lock screen problem so I'm trying to figure out if it's a software glitch or a bug with my unit.
Basically the lock screen preview when applying a new wallpaper shows that the lock screen should have super amoled blacks but when I lock the phone the black is lit up.

If there's any consolation I experienced this very problem. Were you using fingerprint to unlock? I hadn't seen it because I had swipe to unlock.
I still haven't figured out how to fix it.

That's normal. This happens because the lock screen puts a slight filter on your wallpaper. It de-saturates the image. You can try with a solid red color, it might be easier to see.

Not, really. This only happens when you have Fingerprints/Pattern set up as your Screen lock type.
If you set it to Swipe, with the water droplet effect, there's no "filter."
Someone found kind of a solution to this, but it didn't work for me: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...t-rid-dark-filter-lock-screen-wallpapers.html

Yeah it's clearly a bug, but OP thought it might be a defect of his phone. I was just reassuring OP that the problem exists in my phone as well. Thanks for that link. I did try the solution they proposed but it didn't work for me either...
Solution not working...plz another fix?
I have the same bug on my Galaxy J5 (super amoled), I use pin to unlock it. It is pretty annoying. I use the same black picture for both lock screen and background pic, and after unlocking the phone, black backlight turns off. Swipe to unlock solves the problem, but I have to take one of the disadvantages : either backlight or not locked phone.
Download "klwp live wallpaper maker" from playstore and make a all black wallpaper . Save it go to settings ---> background/wallpaper, set KLWP as lockscreen and wallpaper/background.
Not solved? are u using xposed? if so, download Bright Lockscreen and see if this helps.
Can I fix this? Thanks

what do you mean by "very dim"?! too much brightness or too less?
i see mine get like "auto brightness" like see the screen set itself more brightness and less when in direct sunlight with auto mode disabled...
thats what i know so far...your problem will be like the same i think?!
Too dark, it doesn't change to brighter as it did before

but in your brightness slider you can go to 100% brightness or you only can go to 90?%?
If you can go to 100 and anyway is too dark aybe you need to replace your screen because is faulty.

ah ok, fine...only now i see what your problem, i think is the screen itself and not the second screen, if the second screen is too dim is because the sensor on the side of the top speaker can be dirty on it and it doesnt detect the light trough it...
if this happen again to see if they are some dirt on it simple with your phone locked put it under direct light above that sensor and if the second screen gets brighter then is ok, if not clean the sensor.

You are right, it happens all the time, when I move the phone away in a call, the screen doesnt light-up, I had to press the power button, until I found that whiping that sensor lights it most of the time, must have very little sensitivity

for sure its the sensor...my second screen have a delay maybe 4/5 seconds when put in sunlight to be more bright and its clean! but this second screen in V10 arent too bright like in V20.
Also my call screen doesnt show up too when i need to end a call, i need to click on power button to wake the screen but i get used to it now.
Hi, im coming from an iPhone...and im really struggling to enjoy the screen of the Galaxy S9+
the screen is sooooo saturated, even when i adjust to less red in: "Configuration > Screen
Plase, can you help me to make the screen less coloured or less saturated??
i think those colors are not real....
Thanks
If you're still on Oreo...
Go to Settings / Display / Screen Mode and try one of the settings other than Adaptive display.
Also, if the blue light filter is turned on, try turning it off. That will make the screen seem less red.
If you're on Pie, you should be able to do the same thing, but I don't know where in settings it might be.

It's possible you have a defective screen. If you can, take it to a phone store and compare yours to another one on display. Mine does not seem reddish to me, unless the blue light filter is turned on.
i believe the most accurate display mode is basic, so maybe try that one?
I just got this device..... don't understand the hype. How do I get the screen to show white as white? Not yellow. Tried all the suggested tricks. And adjust the slider to cool in settings. Nothing happens. I have read everything and tried everything.... Is this just how Samsung looks?
Maybe blue light filter is on?

Yes it is used. My father used it only on vacations..so not So much.
May be wrong but have you checked in
Setting - Accessibility - Vision enhancement
There are options in there to change the way the screen will look.
ie: under colour lens menu having screen showing different colour filter when turn on.

Yes tried that also. I have tried everything but nothing happens. I had a friend over with another s9+ and his screen was just fine and with the same settings. I think it's just the screen that's broken or something.
I work with calibrated screens every day (I work in colour grading video and photos) and I must say that Samsung screens are NOT correct. I have an S20 ultra here also and it has some weird colour shift also.
My old Pocophone F1 has more accurate colour than these phones?
I also acknowledge that oled has some tint to it by default but I just find it frustrating paying a lot of money for these phones and not really knowing how my photos really look until I see them on my computer screen.
phone of my sister have same issue overheat then yellow screen !! I will ty to reset it and see what happen !!
we have just one solution just with always on display unlock with aod on !! and voila no issue with screen but if screen stay yellow your phone will overheat with screen issue ....
think is from update blue filtre is on in boot we cant deactivate it
