Somehow this feature got turned on where my phone tells me when a folder is open and folder is closed. I looked int he S Voice settings and Phone settings. Can't find how to turn it off.
Please... someone help... this is agony...

Oh man, yeah I realized that afterwards. So are we screwed then and can't use Light Flow?
For a while i believe until the developer of the app can fix this issue, it was really nice to configure the leds for different things but folder... open folder... closed did drive me mad lol.

I found a way,just go to Apllication manager,Select All,then disable Samsung TTS. That should work perfectly(it did for me).

It's to do with Apps that go through the Accessibility library. Sony's SmartWatch App does the same thing for me: randomly activating the "folder are open..." bug. I did some searching online and it seems to be an issue with Google's OS (I was more concerned with a solution than technically understanding the problem).
I have just disabled Samsung's TTS in the hope that it does indeed kill this problem off for me (thanks for the suggestion!). However, my short-term fix that has had a 100% success rate so far has been to clear the cache of the Google TTS engine (not the Samsung one). That eliminates the problem, but it doesn't stop it from coming back. I am reluctant to deactivate the google TTS because of Navigation App use. I am hoping disabling the Samsung TTS will stop it coming back without disabling too much TTS features on the phone.
A common trigger for this is also the use of the LiteFlow App. In spite of some comments you may read, I don't think it's a bug in the App, I think it just triggers the issue in the OS, giving you the "folders are open" problem.
I personally would love a simple App that routinely clears the cache for any/all TTS Engines as soon as they become a non-zero state. For my specific issues, that might eliminate the problem without me disabling any Engines (which I figure are there for a reason). If anyone finds such an App, please post notice here.
Happy 2013 to all

I'm using Startup Manager (Free) and I wonder if any of you in the know kind folk of XDA could tell me which of the following I can disable launching from boot to try and save battery -
Camera (stop at launch until I want to use it? I take very few photo's)
com.sec.android.providers.down... (all I can see of the name)
com.sec.phone (I'm guessing this is needed)
Download Manger
DSMLawmo
Factory Mode
Google Contacts Sync ( I do not sync anything so to drop this if possible would be nice)
Google Partner Set Up
Google Services Framework
Samsung keyboard (I use swype so is it so silly to think this may be able to be stopped? lol I don't know)

If anyone would list the 1's I can stop or copy what I wrote and put a yes/no next to them that would be awesome.
Again I'm sorry if this is repeating what others have previously done, I hope a fresh thread won't hurt if so.
Thanks in advance guys

From my experience it's best to leave system apps untouched. For example when I disabled Samsung Keyboard because I use another one, I sometimes got fc's of it and sometimes my device freezes.
Contact Sync you can disable in Settings.

Applications safe to remove (No doubt you'll get an idea of what's safe to freeze/stop auto-running as well from that thread).

I have not used the maps app at all today, and my usage shows its been used for an hour and a half. Other than Google now, what should be using maps that often?

It's not like that. Just like whatsapp which stays always on to keep you connected, Google maps also stays on even though you don't open it as a system background process although you don't need it. The best way to remove this is to root your phone and uninstall this 'bloatware'

There's no need to delete Google Maps. You just need to regain some control from the app. By default it sends location data to Google. This periodic data 'seepage' also seems to have the affect of 'waking' the phone from deep sleep. Silly, especially since Google wrote the damn OS.
Anyway, this issue has been covered in other threads; you should search, there are more precise instructions out there
...or you can rely on my questionable memory; as I recall-
- Go into Google Maps
- Choose Settings
- Choose Location Settings
- Un-check "Report From This Device"
Also, make sure (on same screen) that Enable Location Sharing is NOT checked and that any of the other location-specific items on the same screen are un-checked.
If you're wondering about 'Location Reporting' under Background Location Reporting, mine is set to 'Detect your location' (thus I think this setting is OK).
Try this out. For me, Gmaps no longer uses data (or wakes the phone) unless I'm explicitly using it.

It's desirable (to many) to have at least some background apps able to run/consume data. Yes, you can disable all (or ration out when they're 'allowed' to run, but then you lose out on the full capabilities of the device.
Trust me, having come from Sprint and a GS2, I am well versed in shutting down and restricting apps. What I LOVE about my GS4 is that I can let virtually all apps run (within reason, and w/exception of Gmaps as noted above) and I still have 28-40 hour battery cycles.
Just be wary of 'out of control' apps. Tame them, freeze them, or delete them, but only as a last resort would I disable all background apps.

I agree. Just saying. Those apps that you don't want to run, you can tell Greenify which ones to disallow access. A one stop shop, as it were.

My bad. For some reason I thought your response said "disable all background apps". Thx for the app tip.
So, my emails arrive late, the stock messaging app doesn't show new texts unless you scroll down when you open it (!!!), replacement sms apps have been wonky as well,... In general things just aren't updating correctly. I've made sure to go through the power management menus to allow apps to do what they need to but no go.
Anyone else had this problem? The battery life, size, and tethering capabilities are nice, but I just put my sim back in the Note 2 as those problems are making using this too unreliable.
Same problem here
I also have this problem, and I believe several people mentioned this in different places, so following is what I have done so far, not sure if this help your case, I am still monitor my phone since I just change my settings a few days back.
Standard steps includes:
("the app" below mean the application you have problem receive notification)
1. Set the app as protected in the Battery Saving settings.
2. Allow the app run in background.
3. In Wifi advanced settings, set to "always" during sleep.
4. Set power saving mode from "Smart" to "normal" .
I still have problem after all above steps, so I have make following attempt:
1) Disabled/Freeze "Phone Manager" system app.
2) Another app is "Power Genie", this app still run even I freeze it. So I have to use Root Explorer to rename them
under /system/app, rename HwPowerGenieEngine3.apk to HwPowerGenieEngine3.apkk, and rename HwPowerGenieEngine3.odex to HwPowerGenieEngine3.odexx
then reboot to recovery, clear cache, and dalvik cache, then reboot.
Again I am still testing this... HTH.
Just want to write a update, I think this resolved app got killed issue in my phone.
I think I found what was messing with my texts. I had mysms installed to backup and send texts to my N7. There's no way to select the stock app as the default messaging app. I ended up deleting mysms and only downloading it when I switch the sim into my Note 2.
The bigger problem is with Spotify. Even with it saved as a protected app it turns off about two minutes after the screen turns off, rendering the app almost useless. Wtf??
Mine works idk. it has to be a setting. hmm. you sure you have wifi on when screen is off. it is it's own setting on this phone
My notifications seem to quit working at times and I notice when using root explorer that my ext SD isn't showing
I wonder why my phone is working with notification (I even have ac display working to turn the screen on for 10 seconds when receiving a text message or email from work) I also use Spotify every day since I'm a premium member. No issues at all. I'm even able to change the volume and skip track and play and pause from my LG Tones
---------- Post added at 09:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 AM ----------
make sure Spotify is set to run in background not just a protected app otherwise when you shut your phone off it will end the app. that might be your problem.

May be an issue with APN settings. What I had when I first got the phone and what my settings are now seem much better especially when breaking up data and MMS into two different it independent panes. Once set to fast.t-Mobile.com and APN type default,supl,hipri the second selectable APN labeled for MMS as APN type and everything else identical and all hand offs via WiFi or mobile data are seamless. I was having various network issues prior to changes made to build.prop and default APN and once phone went to sleep it would not get alerts or transition to active/awake very well.

Yup yup, same here. I'm using Nova Launcher + TeslaUnread Plugin. Also stopped using my previous favorite 3rd party SMS replacement, Chomp, and now I'm back on stock SMS. The plugin seems very stable to me, I get a little number bubble on my SMS app on the homescreen, even if the notification doesn't come through on the status bar. Not exactly a fix, but it's been a decent workaround for me.

I was able to get my phone to connect with my surge hr Fitbit. Just wasn't reading directions correctly. The Surge hr is a nice product, now if I could only squeak out more time between charges. Roughly 3 days is the most I get between charges. I turn off the notifications when not needed.
I haven't posted in a while, but I've run into a problem.
I recently got the Aplus GV18 smartwatch. The watch requires an app called BTNotification to be on my phone; the app pushes notifications from my phone to the watch. However, if I leave the phone for any length of time then the app turns off and I don't get notifications.
I downloaded the app on another phone of mine and it stayed connected overnight. So it isn't the watch. I've tried just about everything I've found. I have:
-Changed the battery mode to "Normal"
-Disabled "Phone Manager" and the "Power genie" thing
-Fiddled with the # of background processes in the Dev options
-Changed the WIFI to stay on even with the screen off
-Other things in various threads
Any ideas??

Yes - notification problems actually cost me a job.... I received a phone message notification nearly 2 days after it was left on my phone.
I'm going back to the forum to to follow unlock instructions after getting the unlock code just today. I want to root the phone.
I am having problems with disappearing navigation keys. Once I go
to an app, I cannot get out of it. I have to constantly restart my phone. Do you have a solution?
Let's collect our discovered bugs of this device. Here are mine:
Default Launcher setting is lost upon reboot. In my case I set Hypersion as default, reboot and the setting is gone. I have to reset and sometimes eben force close the stock launcher or I will still end up on stock when I go back from an app.
GPS coordinates are often wrong in exif of taken photos.
Android Auto freezes as soon as the phone goes into standby.
9gag stays empty and needs to be closed if it was in background.
Google Photos is super laggy due to scoped storage limitations in Android 11. Especially while deleting pictures. Maybe not an device specific issue.
Gboard overlays on places it shouldn't, in any app, only way to fix is to close the app completely.
Game Space app resets everytime I restart my phone, additionally, unhides games, meaning I've gotta flick the switch each time.
Oppo App Market, when I update a app and press install, the install prompt repeatedly refreshes even if the apps installed successfully, only resolve is to close the app completely, and refresh the update page.
Notification panel stays grey even with enhanced dark mode.
App drawer cannot be customized at all, not even row layout.
Swipe up gestures seem to have a hang when swiping up from the centre, also affects keyboard too.
UI glitches in certain apps.
Oppo App Market now persistently requests read app usage permission.
File Manager has a hang upon opening varies between 1-4 seconds.
Microphone volume on social media applications is ridiculously low.
I realize that app drawer customisation & notification panel colour, aren't bugs, however they're very annoying.

It does not shutdown Bluetooth but the plugin app that is running in the background and is needed to communicate with the watch. Same thing with Samsung active plugin - when I hit close all I get a notification that the plugin restarted itself.

I just sent them an email to their Australian support email address.
There are plenty in the Color OS 11 update. Here's another one... Using "Keep screen on while charging" in Developer Options to circumvent the annoying Android Auto issue, and Navigation pops up with no way of canceling it, even after the phone is disconnected from USB. The only way to get rid of this notification is to restart the phone. Oppo really shouldn't have pushed such a buggy update without proper testing.
Edit... Seems this bug doesn't even need to have android auto activated, just charging via my car's USB port will trigger the navigation bug. Any way to rollback to Android 10? More problems than this is worth.

Good evening from France to the whole XDA community!
I have a problem on my Oppo Find X2 PRO: it often happens that when I call or someone calls me, no sound is picked up by the phone when I speak. My caller can't hear me.
I wonder if this is related to the use of a Bluetooth device (my speaker, my headset) before?
Has anyone experienced this problem and if so, how did they solve it?
I would add that a simple reboot is enough to correct the problem...
Is there a way to see real time app activity on an android device? I remeber there were programer apps that you cold run on PC that did this for debug/cracking.
I'm honestly just trying to figure out what app keeps resetting my volume. Its been going on for months and its driving me nuts...
Any other suggestions are welcome.

Developer options>running apps
See what's running when normal, immediately after an event see if something new is running there.
There are 3rd party apps that may work better, on Samsung's I use Device Care to do this as it list cached apps in order of use. I clear the cache and wait. You get the idea, it works well for stock devices. I tracked down some nasty critters like that and avoided a factory reset to purge them.
Likely a 3rd party app, try in safe mode. May be a system app, any app that has change settings permissions. Use that list as well to see all the potential suspects. Eventually you'll find it.
Avoid using factory reset as it is likely to reoccur otherwise. Clearing the offending apps data maybe all that's needed. Fun times...
Thanks blackhawk, I'll give that a shot.

Global power management is another trouble maker. Try disabling that as well.
Not sure how you do it on Pixels. It will be under battery or power management ie adaptive battery, shutdown apps when not needed, something like that.
It's a native Google Android power management system. To check if it's active: Developer options>standby apps, all app buckets states should show as "active" and not be adjustable (any changes won't take).
If so global power management is disable.
If you can change any of the bucket states, close Developer options and the change takes, it is active. You can not disable it here though.
try checking drivemode , bluetooth devices, adaptive sound and even google assistant for bedtime timers etc

When I had the same problem after switching to a new phone I realized that it must have been app and I finally found the culprit. It was a sound app that I had installed as an equalizer.
I just came across something in a huge Reddit thread about it that suggests it's a TikTok accessibility feature that keeps reducing it.
