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?

I just unchecked that, is that the problem?

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 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.

The smart stay was turned off and the problem is still there.

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

Yup, I turned the feature off. More annoying than anything.
Anyone seen the blinking eye at the top of the phone? I'm not quite sure what it is. Ideas? It only pops up from time to time....

its called smart stay. its looking for your face and wont turn the screen off if it detects your face.
I used to wonder what that was on my galaxy s3 and was still wondering what that was on my Note 2..
Swyped by Me & My GN2
It detects if your eyes are looking at the screen...you can disable it under settings > motion > smart stay

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.
thanks guys I had th motion un checked

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.
Hello guys. Are ever have something like that? Its happens with me today and im not sure its should be like that or no. When im going to main screen I can change pages with motion. I mean every time when I move my phone its changing main screen pages without any finger slides. Is it normal?

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
