Hey, i managed to trade my SGSII for a new one at Vodafone, but this one is exactly the same except that when i unlock/lock it seems to first turn on the screen then the back/menu buttons light and when i lock it the other way around, shuts screen off then the keys. And you can actually watch it it, between is has like a 0,6 milisecond. Does that happens on yours too?
When I screen lock it, both capacitive and screen go off. When I screen unlock it, screen comes first.

Hey, got the same and it is most frustrating thing. My sensor went down i checked with testing apps. Phone laying down on table and goes on and off every dozens seconda. Drain batyery faster than normal. Get rid off that. I realy want to sell this phone out.
Plus calling screen off and double tap isse makes the phone worst and worst.
Any help?
After few days the problem automatically solved, nothing done . Sometimes the double tap to wake will not work at that time a reboot will do . now its working flawlessly

Try this: Go to "About phone" and make sure that the advanced mode" is enabled, then go to the "Display and light" and enable "Prevent accidental wake up" . Hope it works.

I'm using a flip cover. the device doesnt wake up by opening the flipcover. Is there a possibility to test the sensor?

I have the same problem and it has nothing to with the flip cover, it's a software problem in the Cyanogen OS. Try to force restart you phone by pressing the power key for 10 seconds to use the device normally, then head to the settings and disable "Double tap to sleep" option in the Display settings.
thank you, but same problem...

My phone's always-on display will turn off. I can't bring it out of it's 'slumber' anyway other than plugging it in. It instantly pops out of sleep and works fine. I'll lock it and while I can see the always-on display the fingerprint reader will unlock it with no problems. This just started in the past hour for me. I've tried resetting the phone and the issue still pops up, and quickly at that.
Are you using a case or screen protector? Could be something interfering with the ambient light or proximity sensor causing the phone to think it's in your pocket at all times?
Edit:
Actually just tested this. Covered the top sensors and the always on display turned off and fingerprint sensor no longer worked just like you described

You may be right about that. I'm using a lifeproof case and I had just opened it up to clean off the inside (I had shown someone the phone earlier and dog hair found its way to the inside of the case). Funny thing is I turned it completely off and let it sit for a time, as opposed to the restart I did earlier, and it's working alright now. Maybe I just needed to reset it's calibration by resetting it?
Anyone know how to disable this weird dependence on the light sensor? I just don't understand why it would ever disable itself because it's dark.

I read this is a feature of the phone. The always on will turn off in your pocket or in a darkened room. Nice idea since you do not need to be using the juice then. You can test this in a dimmly lit room by cupping your hands over the display to block the light.

Sure, but it won't turn on even when I press the back button. Pretty obnoxious when I'm sitting in a blacked out room and I have to hold it up to the computer screen to activate it.
Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't read the thread carefully. That sucks. I'm in a dark room now watching video. The display turned off, I heard a notification, when I picked up the phone it came on. I do not like that that the led notifications stop. I'm not sure what happens to sound notifications when the always on goes off. I prefer to set the phone silent until a certain time in the AM and then use a sound profile to get notifications and a low volume.

I'm thinking it was the Lifeproof case I have on it. It all worked fine for a week then when I tested the case for waterproof it failed (the phone wasn't in it). I sent for another one and it seems to be working alright now. Maybe it had something to do with the inside of my case getting wet? I don't know.
Great! Enjoy your phone g why are we still calling these things phone?). I like the G5. Now that we have torur I am hoping their for some nice tweaks.
I've had this happen too and it made my life proof case useless because I couldn't use my phone with it on it I still have the issue once in a while but not nearly as often anymore

I'm pretty sure my S7e had the option to turn the screen completely off when in a pocket or face down, even when AOD was turned on. I can't find any way to do that on the S9. Even on auto brightness it stays on, very dimly. On manual brightness, it stays on at whatever brightness you've set. What's the point of having AOD use even a little bit of battery if you can't see the display at all?
Anyone found a way to shut AOD off in these circumstances?

Thanks, but that's not it. I do have that turned on. It's not that AOD turns off but comes back on because of touches. Unlike the S7, it never turns off, even in a pocket or screen down.
Is this just a rant? Cause it seems like you've answered your own question.
Actually, it does turn off completely. If you cover the proximity sensor for around 30 seconds, the AOD turns off completely.
Same as the S7, same as the S8.

I've been trying to solve this as well. It seems some models have different wording in the block touches option. My tmobile device says something like prevent touches while in a dark place, pocket. I've been told the wording for that option on other models is more like disable screen in dark places, pockets. I hope it gets changed in an update.

Actually it does not. What's weird is I swear it did when I first got the phone but it seems like an update broke it or something because it no longer does it.
Really hope a future update brings it back because I haven't found any settings that enable it.
Anyone figure this out?

What I've figured out is that it works 100% on my S9+.
And my wife's S9+.
And my daughter's S9+.
And my other daughter's S9+.
You may wish to review the settings on your device again.
I hope you find the missing configuration, because I can understand the frustration when something appears to not work as it should.
Having had a number of S7 phones that featured a stuck rotation-lock due to a borked accelerometer, and "glowing" screens while turned off due to bad display drivers, I would not discount the possibility that your device could be defective, if you have turned on the appropriate feature-set and the AOD still does not turn off when the proximity sensors are covered.

Nope. If I put it face down on a table or desk in a completely dark room, I can see the light from the screen reflecting off the surface. (My case lifts the screen slightly off the table.) And if I take it out of my pocket, I can see the AOD is very dim immediately after coming out, and then brightens after a split second.

Have you checked it in a totally dark room (say, a bathroom, at night, with the shade closed and the door closed)? Because that's when it becomes clear the screen is just very dim, not off. Also, if you set manual brightness on the AOD, instead of auto, it's very obvious that it stays on even when the phone is face down.
What do you consider the "appropriate feature set," because I've looked all through the settings and there is no setting for turning the screen off when in a pocket or face down.

I think I see where at least some of the misunderstanding is now.
What you describe is expected behavior in the dark/low-light scenario.
Note that the AOD turns off (if you've enabled "Block accidental touches" in the display settings) only if the >proximity< sensor detects that the phone is, well, in proximity to something - such as when it is face-down or in a pocket.
If not in proximity to something, what can be expected is that the illumination sensor will simply adjust the AOD brightness (if in the automatic mode) in response to the ambient light it detects - bright in bright light, and dim in low or no light. Just as you've described your experience.
Again, if your "Block accidental touches" feature is on, and the AOD isn't turning off when it is in proximity to an object (in a pocket, face-down, etc.) you may have a defect.

I don't have block accidental touches on but it does turn off when it's in my pocket or faced down. It might be just your device. It always turns off for me when it should.

Interesting. I was always under the belief that the setting was required in order to assure AOD would turn off in those situations.
Turns out, it does work regardless of the state of that feature!
I still think that having that turned on just makes sense for those times when it is in a pocket, but you are correct in that it does not preclude the AOD turn-off feature.

You could always factory-reset the device and see if the functionality returns.
With an SD card and a SmartSwitch backup, it's not that painful to reset the phone and get it back to (more or less) the configuration you have right now.
After a reset, I'd probably test it >before< restoring the SmartSwitch backup - just to confirm that it isn't some app that is breaking the AOD turn-off deal.
Best of luck with this.

I notice when the screen on the Tab S6 sleeps, text notification of the battery charge level will persist on the screen. This only happens if the USB power adapter is connected to the tablet and "screen saver" is disabled. The text remains fixed at a consist location (bottom center) of the screen, and remains for the whole time the device is sleeping.
My concern is that this text will eventually cause SCREEN BURN-IN.
MY PROBLEM ...
Display off, with wall adapter powering ON
. Screen is blank except for battery charge state is permanently displayed
. Bottom of screen shows "100% / Fully charged"
. My fear is this will eventually cause SCREEN BURN-IN of the displayed text.
MY SOLUTION ...
Make a black JPG file, which is used for screen saver, during sleep.
. Place a JPG file in folder: \DCIM\ScnSaver
. JPG file should be sized as 2560x1600, with pure black content.
Display > Screensaver > ON/OFF
. Photo frame ON.
. Select photo frame from folder "ScnSaver"
APP FOR SLEEPING
. Optionally, Install from App Store, "Screen Off Trial", by Iwashi Soft.
. This app will sleep the device and activate screen saver.
. Many other "screen/power off" apps will not activate the screen saver.
Yes. Same issue with the Note 10/+.
No need to worry. Assuming Samsung is still doing the same thing, it will occasionally move the text around.

It will not burn in that area. It does move the pixel around, it's the same for Note 10 series. I'm sure Samsung should by now already know how to combat screen burn in.

Even if it moves a little (it doesn't), it doesn't move the whole charge icon. Just a couple pixels to the side leave about 90% of the pixels in the same place, so Ilit will eventually burn in.
By the way, I'm holding a N10+ in my hands right now, and the charge notification does NOT move.
I found this issue last night as well. I share your concern. I'm likely going to be powering the tablet down for overnight charging till this is addressed more completely.
I really don't understand this. I have changed of course. All time screen off. When wake it up, it said fully charged...
Then it must be a question of a setting. I'll go looking for it tonight.

If it's like the Note 10, there's no setting to turn it off. But there is a work around.
Go to Display settings and turn on screensaver. Set it to "Photo," but don't hit the settings icon next to it or point it toward your Google Photos. That way, it won't have a pic to load for the screensaver and will instead load a black screen.
When you plug it in, it will time out to the screen saver, which will be a black screen WITHOUT the charge notification.
If it doesn't time out to screensaver, just wake the screen up then let it time out on its own.
