Questions about some minor issues with the S10 - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

My fingerprint reader is somehow way slower and feels laggy when the screen is off. When I use the reader while the display is on it's usually a lot faster. Is this normal?
Also I noticed when I'm calling someone, my display isn't turning off properly, it only turns off when I press the phone really hard against my ear. (And the display turns on nevertheless after a few seconds)
Last but not least, is it nornal that my display turns on when I receive notifications? It's not with every notification but with twitter for sure.

proximity sensor problems

my screen seems to randomly turn itself on and off during calls and I sometimes press a few buttons and even close the call. and it's a bit embarrassing to admit that my phone has a problem. does anyone have a fix for it? I'm currently on jpk
end calls should not happen
the proximity sensor automatically turns off the screen to prevent accidental touch to the buttons
it takes about 1/2 second to react
if you talk normally it should never light up for you to accidentally touch the buttons
but if you keep checking why the screen is on/off on/off
that will drive the screen / sensor crazy
it was like that for me the first day
i was rather annoyed that the screen always turned off, i wanted to disable that feature, but now that i got used to it i find it rather useful to prevent accidental drop calls
personally i browse and write notes a lot during a phone call to look up info and take down customer orders
so having the screen on/off automatically was a pain in the royal highness, but i found a great solution
switch to BT headset whenever i need to check for info and browse on the phone, then it wont go on/off automtically as it's not near my face
thanks for the info!
This is a very common problem caused by positioning sensor overriding proximity sensor when the phone is placed horizontally or close to it. So if you tilt your head during a call the screen will turn on and you could disconnect/place on hold etc. I saw this feature/feature was fixed for other devices by adding an option to disable positioning sensor in calls (changing dialer.apk file), but could not find anything for i9000

[Q] Issues with sound and screen?

Has anyone had issues with the sound quality and screen on their Optimus Black?
When I answer a call I can't hear anything until the call suddenly connects and by then the other person is usually in the middle of a sentence.
I've also been having issues with the screen, although that might be normal for this phone. When I wake up the screen to see the clock it is usually anywhere between 5 to 15 minutes slow before it suddenly flickers and shows the correct time. The screen itself appears sluggish and I often have to try several times before it reacts. The phone is 9 months old, it's not rooted and everything is stock.
Has anyone had similar issues?

[Q] IR sensor too sensitive?

Anyone else having issues with the sensors and the moto display? I tend to see it turn on constantly especially in my car, not sure if the street lights are triggering it or that its motion sensitive. Is it supposed to be motion sensitive? I've realized just pushing the phone or shaking what its sitting on turns it on.

That's the point. Any time you move it or act like you may be trying to turn it on it shows moto display. Old X did this too. You do realize it uses like, no battery to show this, and this is the entire point of active display?
The notifications "breathe", too, they turn on and off regularly by themselves.
Gotcha, didn't realize it was sensitive to all motion, just thought the wave over it, the twist to turn on the camera, and just for notifications.
It is a bit disconcerting at first. I have to fight my instinct to worry about the battery and keep very still around the phone to avoid waking it up.
But I guess if it really does consume very little power I should learn not to worry about it.

Screen wakes up during call upon receiving notification (or second call)

Hello XDA, if I receive a notification (or parallel call) during conversation, screen wakes up and becomes active, so I touch all the buttons randomly with my face =)
Furthermore, proximity sensor stops working , anything a can do is only press power btn to turn the screen off.
That's very frustrating, how can it be fixed ?
Is this on OxygenOS 4.1.7 or on the experimental beta strand ?
Full stock OOS 4.1.7 no root TWRP whatsoever
Sounds like a really strange behavior of the ROM. You don't happen to have a thick screen protector on the phone screen as this can affect the proximity sensor? As I haven't used OxygenOS since 3.x I can't answer if it's suppose to wake up on notification or another call, but it does sound strange to me.
I have the same issue which started appearing several months ago that display turned on in a call so it happened that I hang up call etc...
I dont really know if this was a general bug after an older update in that time and that it got fixed after latest update. Didnt check it yet.
I think that this might be the Nougat fault, because when I was on OOS 3.5.4, the proximity sensor worked as it should. I have a feeling that Nougat caused the sensor to be weaker (you have to hold the phone very close to face).

Faulty proximity sensor?

I noticed that whenever I make a phone call, I have to actually press my S10 on my ears in order to make the screen go off. It never happened on any of my phones. I also did a Sensor test with an app and it also showed me that I have to press on the upper screen instead of just floating above it.
Anyone else? Or may I have a faulty device?
I have been wrestling with Samsung and Runtastic about the proximity sensor, which no longer works on my S10 for doing push-ups. It seems that the sensor is now under the screen, and is only made active when a phone call is on. This is probably why they are having issues with the phone coming on in people's pockets. The most interesting thing is that when you do a *#0*# diagnostic and press the 'sensor' button, the proximity sensor does not even appear. On my old S7 you can cover the proximity sensor with your hand and it will vibrate and the screen will go green. Seems to be crippled functionality and a poor call from Samsung if that is the case.
Im on the opposite side.. When im making a call, a put the phone away from my ear and the screen does not turn on. Im pressing the power button to turn on the screen.
Mine when I finish the call I ended in the search for Bluetooth devices with Bluetooth on or in some cases on the call screen but with the key numbers enabled and some numbers typed, that's very annoying, even when I press the phone to my ear.
I'm using with the free case on the box maybe I will try without the case and see if the problem still there.
My model it's s10e exynos
Yeah, something is wrong with it. My screen goes dark almost immediately during phone calls, even when it's sitting on a table using the speaker. I have to press the power button to turn the screen back on each time I make a call.
Yah. When I pull the phone from my ear my screen is always black. So I have to wake the phone.
since the last update (March 1st, 2020) I've noticed that the little proximity sensor light above the battery percentage is lighting up A LOT. Is it doing this for anyone else??
