Note 4 Display turns on by itself or minimal touches - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, friends of the Note 4.
Im note sure if i am right here to ask about a specific problem.
Like i mentioned in the headline, the display of my phone turns on by minimal touches it seems, for example if i take the phone in my hand but not puch any button. Can be that it also turns on without toches, im not so sure.
The effect is hardly reproducable though, by handling the phone rougher just to see if the display turns on. Not sure.
Im a little stumped by this problem, since it didnt changed by flashing another rom. Im a little afraid that it could be a hardware problem... Hope not.
Do you have any advice for me what to try or in what direction to look for a solution?
Thanks!

Quick Glance on for some reason? LOL!

What even is Quick Glance? I use a Note 7 rom, by the way... Just truned off smart stay. It will take time to see if it solved the problem.

I think this problem is related to the apps that can appear on top like pie control, drup or any other 3rd party apps. So try to disable them one by and see which app is causing this problem. Cheers

Thanks for reply! Honestly, the whole Apps hat can appear on top thing is a super bother. I dont really understand the sense of it. Yes i will try to disable all.

[Q] [Help] Need help from the community for next release

Hey everyone-
I'm asking for help from anyone who's willing to. I don't care if it's not normal for "devs" to ask everyone else for help, this is a community and we thrive on helping one another (by the way, I'm no dev).
Here's my situation: I have the next SkinnyEvo rom ready to be released. It's awesome. The only thing holding me back is a 'flickering' of system animations.
I've attached pictures so you can see what I'm talking about - notice the horizontal lines in the battery status when it's charging, or the downloading icon when using the market. It also happens when typing, scrolling text (like music), the launcher, and even some widgets when simply sitting on the homescreen.
From what I've been able to find, this 'flickering' issue used to be common back before I was involved with the HD2. It may seem like a small issue, but after a day of glitchy animations, you'll go crazy.
I've tried different kernels (only hastarins) and many other things.. but I would like to open it up to other suggestions so we can get this rom released! If you would like the rom "as is" to troubleshoot on your own, PM me and I will provide a link for you.
Thanks a bunch!

Hi,
I've had what looks like a negative screen,where the phone is is still usable.
A reboot will fix it.
Imilka (DEV) said it was just a glitch.
Nothing to worry about.
Haven't had it for a while though.
yeah it doesn't effect the working of the phone. but nowadays it is happening more and i always had to reboot the phone:/

I have this issue occasionally using GBX. Found that when it happens, if you keep pressing the power off button several times quickly, to lock then unlock your phone. The screen will go back to normal. Alot quicker then rebooting.

it just all of a sudden started doing it
According to an answer by someone a year or two ago, that's rare but can happen. Turn off phone, remove and reinsert battery then boot up again. Should be fixed. (but I assume you already tried this)
I will look for the original post 'n' see if I can find it, though I should note that the guy's screen was white, and not red.
EDIT: nope, couldn't find it. basically because I didn't know what to look for, I just remember seeing a post with a screenshot and a screen like yours (except in white) and someone replies to him, it was in 2010 .... sorry.

Blurry status bar notification icons

The top of my phone just started doing this. I've provided a before and after for reference. The icons are only blurry on the home screen. Tried reverting to stock launcher with no luck. I was recently installing some new apps but nothing that has anything to do with effecting the appearance or notifications. Has anyone seen this before? I have to think it's a software issue rather than hardware.

I don't think this helps you, but maybe it'll help those you can try helping you.
It looks to me like the far left icons (notifications) are pretty much fine, as well as the bluetooth icon. That's really strange.
Also, in order for others to help you better, what is your phone model and rom? Rooted?
Edit: Oh, and that's definitely software, not hardware.

I think its not blurry..
If you focuse looking on it..
You see that some icons are merge.
Maybe you install something that can affect your status bar..

It happened after I recently installed the most recent security update for June. It seems that the issue only happens with my home screen, my app drawer works fine all applications work fine, the phone works perfectly fine it's just the home screen that's all bugged out.
I've turned the phone on and off twice as far as troubleshooting goes and didn't solve anything.
Any clues on what to do and if you need any more info from me to troubleshoot it more. Thanks everybody
Clear cache and data for the home screen you are using, try a different home screen and see if you still have issues

Cleared the cache and data and tried different home screens. It's still just bugging out
Seen this on reddit. Some are saying it's a feature, working as intended. https://m.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/4lv8wd/whenever_i_change_my_wallpaper_to_anything_that/
I think it looks pretty cool.
