Suspicious Phone Action

[Brian Stirling]

I've noticed that my phone, a Verizon Note4, will do the same thing almost every night about 10-30 minutes after plugging the Note4 in the phone lights up real bright like it's taking a picture -- there are no messages, emails or notifications that this time. I'm just suspicious enough to think that someone is trying to see where I am, though I'd love to know what else it might be. Again, when this happens, and only for a few seconds at a time, there are no message, emails or notifications that might explain this.

Anyone else have the happen and what the hell is it?

I'd guess this happens when phone is fully charged. Is that it?

THEY are watching you...

Are you paranoid?

The Note 4 screen brightens when it takes a picture? Is that standard behavior for a Note 4? First I have heard about it.

my note 4 screen does not brighten when taking a picture.

Im with teejee, its just letting you know its fully charged.. I leave mine face down at night for that reason.

Yeah, maybe fully charged, but it can happen in a few minutes and seldom more than 30 minutes.

the camera app in android will override brightness settings so those who run with dim lights all the time to save power are not left with a useless viewfinder when jumping into the camera.

 

[VeryCharBroiled]

ah gotcha.

run with mine on auto brightness all the time so never noticed.
