One plus 3 heats up - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

HI frnds
i am using one plus 3 from last 7 days and i feel that phone heats up when it is in pocket..is there anyone facing the same problem.....
help me to fix it........thank u

Do you have anything like smart unlock or lock screen gestures? I only have double tap.to wake and proximity wake off.

HI
I was about to write on this topic. I have had OP3 for just 4 days and I noticed it get warm very quickly. I will be very interested to hear of possible answers. Maybe the aluminum cover has something to do as it conducts heat more than plastic?

The phone heating issue has usually been related to the finger print scanner always scanning even when it's in the pocket. Is your fingerprint scanner active?

Think I've found a solution to this issue, delete your finger prints on the security screen, clear the cache, reboot and then enter just one finger/thumb and the heating up problem seems to have been resolved!
3 since I found that solution of the OP forum I've had no heating up problems and my battery life seems to have drastically improved.

Desire's screen turns off on dialing/call

Good day,
It seems this issue has been discussed widely and regularly but I couldn't find a solution that works and I hope you can assist.
My -rooted/Redux- Desire's screen goes off when calls are made regardless of whether it is close to face or not, in addition it doesn't come back on until the call is ended -or battery is replaced- and obviously this can only be done by the other party as my screen stays blank and unresponsive..
Any thought or help would be greatly appreciated..
Regards.
Do you use any kind of sticker or a case which is near to the sensor ?
I had similar experiance with a sticker before. for 6 months it didn't cause any problem but after 6 months it caused some with problems with light and proximity sensor.

Maybe the proximity sensor is knackered. Could be your phone that needs repairing. On the other hand you should be able to turn the sensor off if its getting too annoying by going into settings calls or display can't remember precisely buy there should be an option there to turn it off. Hope it helps.

There might actually be a dust particle under your digitizer, which caused the proximity sensor to malfunction
That's what my Desire has for a few months now.. Drived me crazy, until I started using CM7 which allows me to switch the screen on by pressing the power button during calls. But sometimes it still doesn't respond. Plugging in a powered USB cable is another solution then.
Anyhow, check if your proximity sensor is working by using Z-DeviceTest for example. If the sensor is indeed not working properly, there might be some dust on the sensor. Take off your backplate and blow around the power button area. Worked on my phone the first few times it occurred..
Hope this helps!

[Q] proximity sensor problem

Just checking if more have same problem. During a call I might sometimes bend my head laying phone on shoulder when I need my hands for other stuff.
1st problem is that the sensor is very badly calibrated imo compared to my old nexus4 and 2nd problem is that if your screen goes black when sensor is triggered, you can still do touch inputs. Screen should be locked if sensor is triggered as on many other phones. I checked this with someone else who owns a z2 and he was pretty sure it was same for him.
Im gonna doublecheck with two more z2 owners as I dont know that many z1c owners irl.
Only me or any of you also notice it?
There's a couple threads about this, like this one.
I've also had this a few times now, I just read through the linked thread and I'll try holding it on my right ear instead of left, but I don't think that's going to help since the screen is off when my ear presses buttons.
Maybe someone should check with Sony to see if they know about this...
Next question then would be if the same issue is still there on another rom like cm11? Anyone tried?

It's not a ROM problem, but a design/construction problem. Proximity sensor is placed at the upper left edge of the phone and no ROM in the world is gonna fix that.

I dont buy that. My old nexus 4 also has the sensor in top left corner and that phone doesnt behave like this one
And also the screen still reacting to touches when it's off is definitely a ROM problem.

Yeah it happens to my z1 compact also, even some.times when phone is not heated up. Just lock and unlock.your phone and problem is gone.
Come back to 4.4.2. (757). My compact is same. lastest rom some time have this issue.
Do you have any cover in use and if so, is it magnetic?
Try without cover.
guys , i don't have it no more i was frustrated and sold it very cheap , same with the big z1
now i plan to get s4 or s3 lte, but i am afraid of lag
it's sad that people don't talk much about the touch screen and ignore it, z1 and z1c are very fast phones, faster than galaxy s5 but it's disappointing that the screen is faulty
patoberli, both phones, don't have the asf, after removing it, screen went more crazy, and i had to put another screen protector to minimize the effect
my friend with z3c have similar problem too
just noticed screen issues when unlocking the phone while it's on the table. touch gets all crazy. this doesn't happen when i'm holding it though.

Touch screen sensitivity

On the Oneplus One we had a lower touchscreen sensitivity (not ghost touches) than on other flagship devices. Nothing big but still noticable. For example i could you my old S3 also with the fingernails with the fingers upside down.
I already ordered a 1+3 but I wanted to ask people who already have the device how the sensitivity is compared to other flasghips or midrabge devices.
I've upgraded from a Nexus 5 so I can't compare the phone with other new flagships. However, you are able to use the touchscreen with your fingernail. I have noticed it is more sensitive than my old phone. I hope this gives you some indication.

Nexus 5 touch is good. My friend has it. But if you say that its possible to use it with fingernail im very happy. It isnt possible with the 1+1.

That sensitivity results in me not being able to use Gestures, since keeping it in my pocket keeps the phone awake (cpu usage = battery drain, heating up) .

That seems to be a problem with the fingerprint sensor, not the display. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/oneplus-3-loses-energy-inside-pocket-t3403583
It happens to me also, but with ambient display and all gestures switched off...

Oh well...it might be that I kept my phone faced outwards after I disabled the Gestures. Damn.

Knock On Not working properly

Hi, everyone. So I have an LG G4 for more than a year now and I am very pleased with its performance. I did have an issue with sometimes the audio is stuck after a call but I think it more has to do with bad reception as I noticed so its rare this days. However, lately something happened with the knock on feature which I cannot figure out at all. Sometimes it just doesn't work. I tap and nothing happens. The power on button is working perfectly but the knock on is unresponsive. I fiddled with the proximity sensor but it's not it. Sometimes it just stops working for 5-6 times and then it works and the again it doesn't. There is no pattern. When it's powering on the feature works with no hiccups but after that it's like the cpu forgets to monitor the process. I don't know. I have tried calibration and it works with no problem for a few minutes and then it goes back again to this stutter. Does anyone have any ideas about this? I am thinking factory reset but the hassle would be pointless if the problem persists and I am in no mood to install all those apps I have from the beginning for no reason. Any hep will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I am experiencing the same issue but mine Knock on is a bit delaying.. for an example, I double tap on the screen and it gives response in 3-4 mins or not... I am suspecting from screen protector which has been mounted for almost a year, it could be corrupted(scratch) Give a try on removing the screen protector(if you have any)
It's a hardware problem. Many threads online about it

Is your case or temp glass protect over prox sensor. That can affect it bad. Also scratches on glass over prox sensor. If not. Then more than likely hardware related.
No the screen protector does not cover the prox sensor. It's cut out as it should be. I am starting to think it's a hardware problem. The thing is why now?!

They are mostly sensors just like on a car. Sometimes it's just there time. Electrical components fail all the time. Are u rooted. Modified anything recently?

No. I haven't touched it at all yet. I am pretty satisfied with the performance so I left it alone. The only thing worth mentioning is that I overheated taking a lot of pictures during an event. Maybe this did a number on it!
I have been discussing the issue with a technican today. It is a hardware issue, you cannot fix it. Apparently, the proximity sensor dies after ~2 years - at least somewhat. Why somewhat?
Check this out: You can check the status of your sensor using MINIOS, type *#546368#*815# (n.b. - swap 815 for your model number).
Now click device test - MT - ok - Individual Item - Sensor test - WAIT!
The proximity sensor will run a test and likely come up with a figure between 60~90. The actual value should be 220+.
Meaning: Your phone thinks it´s ~6-9 cm away from your face, that is not enough to trigger knock-on but it´s far enough to be triggered using the backside button.
My knock on doesn't work, but knock off does. Not a major issue, just annoying!
