Smart stay.... Nope

[Stealthieone]

Smart stay just does not work for me

 

[Tim1954]

Me either...

I think as long as it can detect your face it should work. It works the majority of the time for me. It's a big phone so if you hold it too high to your face it might not work

 

[Stealthieone]

I've tested it just by staring right into the camera at a normal distance.. Still goes off

 

[DMarie04]

My screen is still going off as well.

 

[toenail_flicker]

not working here either.

 

[Dominator81]

I always thought it needed to see movement. When u turn it on it shows an animation of a person looking at the screen and then glancing back up to the top. Staring at it might not be good enough, otherwise I have no idea.

 

[AnotherInternetGuy]

Ditto.

I forgot I'd even turned it on. Not sure it's ever even worked for me... Which is a shame. I honestly imagine it becoming essential for all smart phones once the tech works fully...

Mine seems to work. I remember on previous Notes that there used to be an notification that it was keeping the screen on. But I just tested it and it worked.

Mine is working. AT&T version. It doesn't work well in low light though. If I just have my bedside lamp on, I set my screen timeout to 1 minute.

Your loss.

 

[Stealthieone]

I'm in pretty good light.. Looking right at it and still goes off

it appears to be a function of time. try writing slowly any word. the slower you go the less you can write. write fast and you get more drawing

Huh

Huh

So this were it went. I was posting in another thread when I answered a phone call. When I came back my post had disappeared. Weird that it posted in a different thread than what I was responding to.

It doesn't work for me either ...it even gave me a pop up to check if sensor is blocked .

Case is not near the sensor .

THAT is a Smartphone - blaming something else for Smartstay not working lol.
Great phone though- getting very long Screen On Time and the AUDIO is what I have been waiting for ever since the first smaller cell phones came out .

Smart Stay ...no I even thought maybe resting my hand over sensor so it would 'know ' I was there - nope .

My Camera was on selfie mode ...maybe switching that will help ?

Winking at the Sensor ?
