Why does it vibrate like 5 seconds after lock? - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Like the title says, I'm wondering why the phone quickly vibrates twice like 5 seconds after a screen lock. Anybody else notice this?
EDIT: actually I noticed its only when the screen is touched after its locked? Pretty annoying.

Weird mine doesn't do that at all. You got an app or anything running in the background perhaps causing that?

Under Controls -> Motions there is a setting for "Smart Alert". That's probably what you are feeling. It vibrates when you pick up the phone and you have a notification and the screen is off to let you know there is something you missed.

I was kinda close about an app causing it lol

I have the same problem, you dont have to touch it. Smart alert is turned off. When I lock the screen itll vibrate twice a few seconds later. I cannot figure out what it is and it just started after the android 9 update

I have the same issue on my Note 10+ and cannot find a solution. Smart Alert is already turned off so it is something else. It happens if the volume is set to sound or vibrate and the only way to stop it is to set the phone to silent. Hopefully someone here can share an actual solution.

Auto Brightness Issue

About two weeks ago I turned on my Auto Brightness. Last week the screen just started going dim randomly. To be clear, its so dim I can't see anything unless its at a particular angle. Also (depending on how bright the screen was prior to going dim) if I apply pressure to the sides of my phone, just above the Menu and the red End button, the screen will become bright again. Since then I have turned off Auto Rightness and performed a hard reset yet the problem still occurs. Can someone please help me?
It hasn't been dropped, or been subjected to moisture of any kind. I've only had it for about two months. It was a replacement from Asurion Insurance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone? Any ideas? Haha, I'm desperate!

Auto brightness on our phones hasn't really been all that great, I've had random dimming or it'll go super bright in a dark room. mostly the issue is that auto brightness on phones is not all that great, they don't monitor the brightness of your surrounding but rather your face and that's where the problem lies.
My Auto Brightness isn't enabled. Yet the screen still goes super dim.

Make sure it isn't on, because it shouldn't happen if you have it set to a custom level
Haha damn, don't like the sound of that. Thanks for the help!

Screen randomly getting dim

I have auto brightness off, auto adjust screen tone off and brightness set to max. My screen randomly dims and then gets bright again...anyone know what's causing this?
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Hmm is it this adapt display option maybe?
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Same here then I went into my settings to check the brightness (settings, display, brightness) and it said brightness decreased to prevent over heating or something like that ..check it next time you notice it dimming and see if it's the same thing ..pretty annoying
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
power saver uses the dimming option for low consumption of battery and make sure auto adjust is off in display settings

I'm willing to bet adapt display

Power saving isn't on. Adapt display didn't fix it either

I have everything turned off also ..I checked in my settings every time my screen dimmed and every time the same message ..it was driving me nuts for days (still is)

I've had this happened to me also.
It seems to be more frequent when I'm using Chrome ( not stock browser ). It suddenly gets dim and then may or may not eventually brighten up again, it's pretty random
Also happens when I'm on the launcher but not as frequent
- Automatic Brightness / Off
- Screen Mode / Professional Photo
- Power saving mode / Off
- Auto adjust screen tone / Off
Is there something else I may be missing?
It happens to me while using the xda app. Annoying as hell. It has the same message as Melissa

Does anyone know if this processor does thermal throttling? That could possibly trigger a power save dim with overheating. If we get root this can be disabled using trickster mod.

The Otimus G Pro had a setting in the hidden menu to disable thermal throttling.

Will do, you as well plz :good:
Thought this was an issue with my phone when I got it from AT&T yesterday. Glad to know it isn't just me. It seems to only have the issue when I am in a low-lite area (at least on mine) but when I am in an area with good lighting and the back light is 75% or more it doesn't dim nearly as much. Would be interested to see what a fix would be for this.

Same for me, it does it in low light obly, with or without power saving enabled. I have the same problem on my galaxy tab 2 (7) and couldn't find a fix yet.

The service mode is brought up by typing *#0011# in the dialer on this phone but aside from that i havent had a chance to mess around in there. I do know that key imput 1 doesnt bring up the main menu anymore.

So I've been having this issue and noticed it like two days ago, and reading all your responses I looked through and noticed I had one of the features that I thought I turned off. Smart Stay says that it starts to turn the screen off when we look away maybe it's a buggy feature (one I never intended to use but it might be the one doing this dimming thing (being one of the first steps to turn off the screen)

Wake Up Lag? Is there a fix?

Whenever I try to turn on my screen, it takes a second or two to turn on. It seems like it sleeps and then wakes up.
I want to know if there's a fix for it. I'm on MJ5 firmware if that matters.
I have the same issue! I tried factory reset 3 times but still the same...... The weird thing is its not all the time.... I have also had the issue of no screen timeout but rebooting fixes that issue! When I was on ml1 DE LA Vega root I had none of these issue! I should have stayed on that.......

although theres wake up lag, the phone doesnt lag at all
Note 10.1 has same issue.

With the note 2 I had always heard the lag was related the the exynos going into such a deep sleep that it had to literally wake everything back up. Obviously that claim was bull**** lol

My screen wakes up instantly. Are you using your home button to wake the screen? If so, the problem is S-Voice. The solution is to disable "use home button to launch s-voice". To do this, double tap the home button/menu button/settings/disable home button.

[Q] Screen On

Curious how come when I get a notification for lets say... Google Hangouts, my screen doesn't light up ? Is there any way to change this.. or nothing can be done? Thank you.
Certain apps have the option to allow it. Personally it is horrible to have that. Say you get a notification in your pocket, there will be a ton of screen presses that happen when your screen turns on. It is also a waste of battery.

Most the times the notification light would come on. Top left corner
