Screen Lighting up when receiving WhatsApp notification - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi All,
Need your expertise in one thing. I am seeing that if I turn off the edge lighting function, then WhatsApp notifications are turning of the screen when locked. Is there a way to stop this wierd behaviour. As far as I remember, this was not the case some time back.
I am on stock Oreo 8.0 with Experience 9 on S8 Exynos version. Am I the only one facing this issue and is anyone able to stop this behaviour ?
Very warm regards to everyone. Thanks in advance.

Anyone please help. This is really annoying to not be able to find out the settings by oneself. Feels like an educated illiterate:crying:

[Q] Disable Proximity Sensor

Hi,
is there an option for android-HD2s to disable the proximity sensor? I'm sick of the behavior of my device that the screen doesn't turn on again after making a phone call, taking out battery isn't a very useful option...
I already tried the Recalibrator for the sensor (originally for DesireHD), it worked for a few days but now again i've got the problem...
Therefore i'd rather have the screen turned on during the phone call, than having a blocked phone after the call..,
Do you know a solution?

hi, I guess you are using Desire HD rom. If is so I fully understand you. Those build s avery big and laggy. After trying many,many rom s Iwent to this one>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931126
The screen turns on , everything work s fine. And it is crazy fast. Believe me, you will love android after this.
the best DHD Rom is Core Droid, in 1.3 the sensor was good, but in the actual 1.4 its bad again, try it when the next version is out. its very fast and nice skinned, also always good updates like the controls widget in the notifications bar.
Are we talking about the rom for hd2??is there anyone who can help us on the same problem?
I do this that way http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16008095&postcount=4

Cannot wake up the screen after ending the connection.

Hello everybody. I have an issue with the screen wake up. I use this rom, the latest version. Everytime I end a conversation the screen is turning off. That is normal. But the problem is, I cannot wake it up afterwards. The hardkeys backlight is turning on for just a moment and off. The only solution is taking out battery and booting Android once again. I know that changing the build would might be helpful but this ROM is really fantastic and I would like to avoid changing it. Could anyone help with this? Thanks.

This question would be better answered if posted in the thread created for the ROM. The other users may also be experiencing the issue and have a solution, or the chef may not even be aware of the problem and should be notified.
This is not the rom's problem, ...
it's your proximity sensor, quick fix is to put it under a bright light or zap it with an IR remote (the proximity sensor is located top-left

Keep screen turned off issues after nougat

Anyone else experiencing issues with the "keep screen turned off" feature after upgrading to nougat? I noticed that after upgrading, this feature stopped working. It was working fine prior to updating to nougat. I'm on Rogers S7 edge.
I've tried factory resetting my phone but the feature is still not working. I've tested the sensor with the test menu and the sensor seems to be working, so it seems like it's a software issue? Any one else experiencing this or know how to fix it?
Thanks
Yes. I too am getting this issue with mine. Brand new... perhaps a couple of weeks old.

I have the same issue. It fixes itself after a restart but after a while the "keep screen turned off" fails again.

Yes, me too. Anyone found a solution to this?
Same problem here. Isn’t there an app or something that will fix this, even if it requires root?
Is this where while on a call, you press the power button and the screen turns back on? If so, I'm getting that too.
Same issue after Nougat on Galaxy S6 Edge. My better half's S7, too. Any news on this?
I also have that issue.
It's a big problem for me because I basically can't use my phone in my car any more.
On outgoing or incoming calls the damn screen turns on and keeps on
and after a short while I accidently press one of the on-screen buttons and my call is aborted or muted.
(I own a Samsung Galaxy S6)
I too have this issue. I am using the lockscreen until Samsung fixes this.

Proximity sensor is always on

Today I noticed that the proximity sensor of my G6 (H870DS) was on while reading in google books. I found that odd so I tried other apps, the home screen and screen off (tried disabling the knock-on feature and have always on display disabled)... still emitting.
Also found this reddit thread with people experiencing the same issue. OP suggests that it came after the July OTA.
I didn't notice any issues, or battery drain, except that it is always on. Did anybody else notice this? Is there a way to turn it off?
I'm not comfortable with it emitting all the time, might damage over time. Thx!
hi does anybody else experience this? thanks

it can happen when an app using the sensor and doesn't release it so it always scan and funtion. it can be phone app or a bug in firmware.
restart your phone and directly go to google book and check if this issue occurs or not.
:good:
Hey there, nope that's regrettably not the case. The proximity sensor starts emitting in the last stages of the boot process (LG logo animation is still on screen), so it's very likely not app related.
I am also experiencing the same issue. It also occurs when in Safe Mode. If you search reddit LG G6, you can see that several people have reported this issue. I've contacted LG and they know nothing about this issue. There must be a way to get a senior engineer at LG to look into this.
My proximity sensor always seems to be on. If I place a phone call and hold the phone next to my face and then remove the phone from my face, the screen does not turn back on. I have to use a BT headset to conduct phone calls.
