Almost every time I get a text message and my phone is in my pocket while I'm walking..

I don't, mainly because I lock my phone whenever it goes into my pocket

I'm 100% stock and this happens too. But yes its only when I get a text message or whenever my screen comes on while in my pocket.

Yup, I turned the feature off. More annoying than anything.

mine did the same thing this morning, not sure what caused it to do that
Probably a txt msg or any other notification coming in?
All I can think is it may have been the quick glance setting and once in awhile my keyboard switches to 1 handed mode while I'm typing buggy little bits

Some chargers are faulty and dont stay plugged in. They were talking about this in the international thread. Some have done modifications on their charger.

This might be an obvious question but did you go back and check to see if it was still enabled?

Make sure you have Palm swipe to capture checked under settings/motion and leave motions settings on.

While swipe screen shot still works for me. I did notice a new behavior.
Instead of a side to side scan blur it now has a white border flash around the edge of the screen.

Stuck orientation in landscape

Sometimes when I'm using the phone to watch videos, when I back out for whatever app I'm using the phone will go back to portrait orientation when at the home screen, but when I open another app it goes directly into landscape even when I'm holding the phone in portrait. Is there something that I'm doing wrong? It fixes itself after I restart the phone. Has anyone else ever had this problem?

Do you have smart stay enabled?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I just unchecked that, is that the problem?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Well the smart stay senses your face and if it thinks that your looking at the screen it won't change orientation regardless of how it's rotated. I

I have also read in some places that it is a but that we got from the last firmware update.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I know it was doing it to me before I checkrd the smart stay. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't hardware related.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
The smart stay was turned off and the problem is still there.

Possible to have a like imagine burn in

Whenever I have white on my phone I can see the original home screen like the one I had when I first got it. Is it a burn in? Cause ik the icons aren't from my phone now say like when I open Google chrome I can see just slightly the home screen apps from when it was new.

If you keep your screen on full brightness then its bound to happen on any phone, use that auto brightness and you should.be good on your next phone that is... only way to remove that is a new panel

(Q) Vibrating Issue with phone?

On my phone primarily during youtube the phone vibrates like it's getting a text but there is no text happened 3 times since time of purchase which was Launch day.
Anybody got a clue why or has it happened to you?
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Mine has a short vibrate sometimes when I go to pick it up after sitting for a few minutes. A little more then keyboard feed back. But screen is locked and phone is asleep.

It's weird wondering what's causing this issue.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Just happened again while I was browsing xda like now lol
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
ummm i'm not sure if you guys are aware but there is a option in the setting that vibrates the phone if you have any new/incoming notifications while the screen is off, that way you dont have to turn the screen on if u dont feel the vibration... but if you do feel a vibration that means you have a new notification, excuse me if you guys were already aware of this future.
I am not getting a notification at all it just vibrates and there is nothing happening at all. No notification at all.

I used to have that problem on my s3... Not as frequent but it would beep too and I think it was an app running in the background. ..

My phone does this as well. I thought it was a feature that I hadn't turned off
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
I'd also like to add that it doesn't have to be vibrating. It only ever vibrated when my phone was in vibrate mode. however if you turn the volume up, it would make a da da sound like a notification.
