this pic say no temperature sensor at note 3 !! and on gsmarena it say it have this sensor
any one from the owners of N3 can assure that info ?
it has ambient temp sensor should be good
It has , and I can confirm it

I'm using weather signal app and it sees the proper temperature sensor (not using the battery one) on my N9005.

thx man but this pic from n9000
any one can assure that working on Exynos version ?
I have n9005 and it has the same sensors , including temperaturesensor. So dont worry
At first when I got my N9005 I also thought theres no "temperature sensor" only "ambient sensor"? Seems some apps like Android Sensor Box may have not updated their app then I found out that the "TYPE_TEMPERATURE" sensor was replaced with the "TYPE_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE" sensor in API Level 14 and has been deprecated.
See this link developer.android.com/guide/topics/sensors/sensors_overview.html
Hope it clears many doubts.

Major find people.
The proximity sensor that we have is in fact light sensor / proximity sensor combo.
Its name is GP2A
Samsung disabled light sensor (in kernel) probably by either modifying drivers to exclude the light part or by removing driver completly
I managed to find kernel driver for this sensor (from some unknown device), which link you can find below:
http://o2droid.phj.hu/trac/browser/kern_oII/drivers/sensor/optical/gp2a.c?rev=2
So kernel devs, rock on!!!
maclaw and all devs should know this.
hope it works this kernel driver :fingers-crossed:, the s3 mini should be factory the auto brightness
Great there is still hope for light sensor !! Just inform devs

Haha I can't believe it, that link refers to a Omnia2Droid page! It's an old team who ported Android 2.1/2.2 to the Omnia 2/Pro (WinMo 6.x devices) years ago, I had one of those with that buggy droid installed
Edit for developers - that driver comes from a Samsung I5700 Galaxy Spica (Android 2.1),a device launched in 2009
Edit2 - found this driver from google https://android.googlesource.com/ke...2929fc99325ee399fd9/drivers/input/misc/gp2a.c
and this one,the most recent one https://bitbucket.org/sarcastillo/redpillkernel/src/990eb0053acb/drivers/input/misc/gp2a.h
Woooo, hope at last!

1. Don't get so excited. Even if it's light sensor also, other hardware parts can still prevent us from using light sensor function.
2. Galaxy Spica doesn't have any proximity/light sensor - I have a Spica
3. Drivers which you attached are completely useless on Jellybean & 3.x kernels.
Sure, getting working something completely broken by Samsung is most important for me at this moment...
It isn't so easy to get light sensor working, I'm not sure if it is possible.
But we will look into it and check it out.

I think it's very hard. If I not wrong, Samsung's AMOLED panel is in one piece with the capacitive buttons and the sensors and the front speaker except camera. so I think it's hard to make a hole on it
Wait...s3 has 2 holes and has light sensor. WTF?!!!

I thing there is no chance to get it working :/ I had dismantle my s iii mini and looked on the sensor and there is only proximity. I am refer to pdf from New Macław's post. If you open it you will see on first page two types os senzors.I thing tahet we have the "Upper left" type and there is no ambient part :/

It says the proximity sensor is combined with light sensor, part number cm3623. Galaxy s4 mini has only 3 holes on front panel, 2 for proximity and 1 for front camera. But it HAS light sensor and auto brightness. My question is: Is it possible that it uses the IR sensor part of the proximity sensor for light sensor? I think it is.

Hi all my pb is I need to replace camera sensor of my gt-i9505 (exmor r) with the one of i9500(exmor rs) to have best quality.
but when I do that the sensor is not known by my phone so how to fix that plz
I'd think you would need to also change camera firmware as well as camera sensor. No idea how though.

Yes I think too . But the solution is ?
I'm sure its not going to work.... I9500 runs an exynos processor so all the hardware is set at system files made for that processor and motherboard I'd imagine. If it was as simple as that I would see people exchanging their sensors on worse phones with a better one. I could be wrong though. Good luck!

Hey guys, just noticed this today. I know the top and bottom holes are for the microphone but then i found another hole on the bottom right, anyone know whats it for?
Talking about the N9005, don't know if the N9000 has the same.
Bottom Right?
Don't suppose you mean the Spen slot..?

prob temp and humidity sensor
Yes, I see it... I have no idea what it could be. It's not listed on the Consultant Guide or the Manual (http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...UM_EU_Jellybean_Eng_Rev.1.0_130910_Screen.pdf )
It is no doubt a sensor, though which remains a mystery.
Temp and humidity sensor. Is the only one.who needs contact with the surrounding air. On the bottom the heat from the process will alter the readings. I'm 100% that i'm right about this.

What is your source?
Common sense. I do.have S4 with temp.and.humidity sensor and it's a hole more than the two mics. The Note 3 the same, only other placement of the hole. the S4 active does not have the temp and humidity sensor...so no extra hole, just thw two mics.

Isn't humidity and barometer sensor supposed to help with location in google maps? And I would suspect that those might be useful in a crowd sourcing app or whatever for more accurate weather per location if it is available to be used that way which as of now I don't think it is.
This article is an interesting read about how the sensor got incorporated into samsung devices/android.
Acording to Anandtech it's actually the third microphone that's used for noise cancellation : http://www.anandtech.com/show/7376/samsung-galaxy-note-3-review

Should only need to calibrate it once, and it should be set. If not then there may be issues(?)

Even if I left my N3 on the table, the temperature reading is still at least 2 deg higher. You can try this app 'weather station', it is able to offset the error.

Phone has temp/humidity sensor like s4 it just needs some time to so accurate measurement because it affected by our heat in pockets/bags etc. It needs some time to show correct values and is pretty accurate.
Also keep in mind not to block the sensor who is in right bottom side, it's a hole and if you use a case it must have also a hole for it.

Strange
Samsung says that the Galaxy Note 3 comes equiped with the following sensors:
Sensors:
Accelerometer, Geomagnetic, Gyro, RGB light, Barometer, Proximity, Gesture, Temperature & Humidity, Hall sensor
https://www.samsung.com/ca/consumer/mobile/galaxy-note/galaxy-note/SM-N900WZKEBMC-spec
And indeed, my Note 3 has all these sensors.
When ever I take a photo for anything the quality is not good at all its blur without zooming but when u zoom in it looks like oily painted (people or anything)
I am not good at photography...
So if anyone could help me out with the setting or is it the camera?
U can't see the photos for yourself and if it's good for the note camera please tell me?

Note 3 camera is different from Note 2.
It has so many mode, and a lot auto settings.
especially when you are using auto mode, it will try to adjust the picture you shoot for the best result. So if you use this one under low light conditions, it will go into processing. When it is still processing, and you hand move/shake a bit, it will turn into "blur".
Note 3 camera is good in processing under good lighting conditions.
Under low light, use blitz will be better, but color result will be different compare without blitz.
This is so far I know about this camera, I just use a while only, and most of the times I'm still using my Note 2. perhaps others can tell you better.
