Hello guys
Here's an interesting problem:
Ever since I bought my phone (sealed, new, carrier-free, original ICS .54 firmware, etc), I noticed a strange bug in the Facebook application. Whenever I opened my messages or notifications, the arrow pointing at them (See first two pictures, link in the bottom of post) would be in the wrong place. At first I thought this was a facebook app problem, but then I saw that not only does this NOT happen on any other qHD screen i've seen on my friends' phones, but there are also positioning problems in other apps in my phone.. for example exDialer, which should have a small dial button in the middle and two other buttons on its sides, for me it has a huge dial button and the other two are pushed to the edges of the screen for some reason (I've drawn on the picture where the buttons should actually be, using great paint skills). And here's the best one: When using the stock timer app, there are two arcs around the clock that count the time left. The thick one is ok, but look at the smaller one, the one for the seconds. Yeah. it doesn't like to stay around the clock. instead, it's just casually floating near it. and it doesn't even draw itself entirely.
Does anyone have any idea regarding what could have caused this? I don't want to believe that this is normal and that they ship phones that make graphic glitches like this one.
I've had this problem ever since the first day I used it. At first I didn't know it was the phone,I thought the culprit was facebook. Since then, I have unlocked my bootloader, installed the Sliding_XP kernel, Fidelity ROM, then uninstalled fidelity and put back .54, then installed .75, which I also reinstalled yesterday because of a mod i installed and didn't like. None of these OS/kernel changes solved the graphics glitch.
I know that my warranty is void because of the unlocked bootloader. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this without needing to send it to a service? It looks like a software bug, but it's very odd that upon formatting the system so many times, the problem is still there.
Thanks in advance!

Have the same issue. I think its an APP Issue not a phone issue.

But the system alarm and clock app shouldnt have the issue should it? and multiple apps as well? But yeah I dont think its hardware related either, but then how would you fix that..
Service centre is the only option left i m afraid..
Re: Jelly bean update
anyome else have problems with the update from Att for samsung galaxy note sgh-i717 as far aa features working? Such as pop up note, the big one, multi view isn't working among others. Som Does eone please help!
I called att and Samsung' a few times today but tell me to give it a week or two, and I want to kniow if anyone else is experiencing this as well.

I didn't even bother with Kies. I was rooted and was pretty sure that Kies would not work until returning to stock.
went into the development section and to the Odin stock JB thread. someone had posted video on youtube and I watched it once.
got all necessary downloads and went through step by step. it seemed as if it hung at blue and white att ball, but left it plugged into Odin until it fully booted. out of the blue "YATZEE".
always a good idea, go slow and follow directions to the tee.
I always get nervous in the service, but this was pretty easy.

Pop-up note works for me, just hold down the S-Pen's button as you double tap the screen.
Despite what nearly every news outlet claims, multiview isn't in this release. Although according to Samsung's press release, the floating window support for videos and the browser made it in. I've gotten the floating video to work, but I can't figure out how to get the browser to float. I don't see an option for that anywhere.
The only other thing that isn't working for me is Samsung's stock image gallery. It crashes the phone, even after wiping EVERYTHING, and doing a re-flash. While I would have liked to at least test it, I just deleted it and I'm using QuickPic as a replacement.

Kinda a lot. I've deleted over 200 MB of bloat from /system and most things are pretty laggy. Where's Project Butter?! Other than the stability, it doesn't feel any faster or better than the existing AOSP JB releases to me. But strangely, some things like window animations and menus fading out are incredibly smooth. But as soon as I put my finger on the display, everything gets laggy.
But at least my GPS works properly. :| It didn't in any ICS ROM, including stock.
The new jellybean update from AT&T does not lag for me. People say it does but first, flash rom, factory reset, root, remove bloat, download setcpu, min 192 max 1.5. Does not lag one bit for me. :silly::silly:
Same experience as ^^^^. Remember friends, freeze a bloatware app, then use your phone for a while, and if there's no problems, delete.
Some apps you might be tempted to delete can bork your system. Proceed with care.
Sorry for my stupid question. Could you teal with apps did you freeze? I dont want stop something that might brick my phone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I froze every at&t app and google stuff I don't use like search and place. Don't mess with email and messaging.
If you're going to experiment, do you know how to make a nandroid backup? Its your insurance policy.
And you won't ever brick doing this. The worst thing is your phone will give error messages and won't function.
Just restore your nandroid.

How can I do that? I can´t enter to recovery
The combos work...they are within the boatloaders if those were messed up your phone would be dead.
Yank the battery between trying the combos each time... if you can't get recovery to cooperate, try download mode and reflash.
Jellybean upgrade - or not??
Maybe I jumped the gun upgrading to stock Jellybean because I miss the following features
1) Three day calendar - maybe I messed something up but I don't see a way to get it back. Currently using weekly list view but its not the same. Also the "Today" widget only shows today the ICS one would show about 24 hours of items so usually would show what is going on tomorrow as well.
2) I am having S-pen issues. I have a collection of different Stylus pens and I have been using one from Samsung Electronics Slate PC because it had a nice size, shape, and an ERASER. The eraser no longer works in S-note. Also one of my favorite time wasters, Cubistry, the spen no longer registers (stock or Slate).
3) I'm getting old and fine print is getting harder to see. On the ICS Swipe keyboard, the long press characters were almost the same size as the regular characters. I'll have to look for another keyboard.
Full blown multi-veiw was also not included but I don't know if I would use it much.
We did get Google Now which I don't use that much & Polaris Office 4.0 that I use alot - the new office can edit text files (ICS could view them but not save text files).
Lol jumped the gun..
It's software if you don't like it just go back abs wait for custom Roms built on this firmware

I tried that and got pop up note, which is pretty cool, but in my first few attempts, I got several screen captures, but I also got a list of apps across the bottom of my screen. I don't know how I got it or what it was and have been unable to duplicate it. Anyone have any ideas about what it was?
Hi everyone, Im a bit desperate right now, since Ive searched all the internet (or I tried) and all of xda, but couldnt find a solution to my problem. Also Im unsure what causes it (ROM, device, some app,...?), which is why Im posting in the general section. So on to my problem:
I have a Oneplus 6, with the most current official LOS release. Sometimes when I unlock my phone, some random app will start. I said semi-random, because its mostly Instagram or Authy, probably depending on which of the two I had opened most recently (actually sometimes both will open; I see Authy for a split-second and then instagram will appear and stay), but never (as far as I remember) other apps, even if I had antoher one open before it happens.
Now, I recently discovered that I can reproduce the behavior if I go to developer settings and change the display cutout setting to something different. It will reliably happen. So the screen goes black for a second, (probably re-drawing the UI) come back and Instagram will open. This led me to the idea that the UI crashes in a way. When it happens after unlocking the device, its always black for a second as well, while usually the screen is just there.
I only found evidence of the problem online regarding Samsung phones, mostly using Nova. Im using Nova as well, so that may be the cause. But I dont know for sure.
Does anyone know this problem? Why is it always one of those two apps, that appear? Can a log help me find the issue?
Things I already tried: factory resetting and setting up Nova from the ground.
Help very much appreciated
EDIT: I dug through the log file a bit and found something interesting (as far as I can say, Im far from an expert). I attached the relevant part, may be someone can tell me what happens?

You said factory restore not reflash buddy use the appporiate wording you have a expensive phone you want to modify it and when issues happen you come here if you stood on stock with no modifications or custom rom you wouldn't have this issue I would suggest simply using an alternative launcher

look, if you do not want to help me, thats perfectly fine, then please just dont post. I reflashed the ROM when factory resetting and flashed OOS in between.

Try reporting it as a bug
Today, i experienced weird bug with my navigation bar suddenly and for no reason stopped showing on my homescreen and also behaving very strange, like not even allowing me swipe up to recent apps or so, tried to restart device but didnt helped. Stock launcher, and didnt done anything at the time that can cause this problem, have someone experienced something like this too? Problem still persists after few restarts
You mean the gestures? Sorry dont had any problems with it... Also rooted and disabled a lot of apps and running custom kernel... No Problems so far. Is it possible that oneplus launcher had an automatic update in the background? Try cleaning cache in recovery
Launcher updated itself but it happened early in the morning and problems start at the evening
edit : tried factory reset both in the menu of the phone then in the recovery, still no navigation bar on homescreen, it was there before im 100 percent sure also when i watch videos of using 7t pro on youtube it is there, clearly dont know what to do

can you record your screen behavior when you are on homescreen and like swiping left to right, opening recent apps and so on so i can compare? coz when i compare my behavior with other videos my phone behaves differently, navigation bar is showed in apps for example, but missing on homescreen completely and never shows there, before it was either still there on fades out, but when i swipe on homescreen to either side it reappears, now it is not simply there
edit: i recorded mine in case anyone can look how it behaves https://vimeo.com/443957044
Okay thats strange... Ive disabled this bar cause gestures work without it but on the homescreen the bar should be there... Dont know what you can do... Have you tried deleting cache?

yup i deleted everything lastly full factory reset but still remains the same even after that, i can tell for sure it behaves differently and the bar was on homescreen yesterday before issues happened and also after factory reset there were older version of oneplus launcher and it behaves exactly the same so its not the launcher too.

Is it possible to do that without root? coz the phone is brand new i have it for two weeks didnt rooted it yet. I also thought about downgrading to older version, i remember the phone came out of box with older oxygenos but updated immediately when i was setting all up, but i assume i cant downgrade without bootloader unlocked.

i have sent logs of whats going on to oneplus staff so ill probably wait what they will say and then try to flash the rom, flashing rom should solve the problem when factory reset didnt , but im not sure about anything when i see this :laugh:
Okay hope you get a fast Response
After almost three days since last message from them and provided log file no other responses.I started thinking that it may be intended behavior and they see no weird stuff there so they close it, coz this way i showed on video it is behaving exactly like iphones gestures. even though it behaved differently before. It would be nice to see responses fro m more owners if they have behavior like me or the bar actually stays there all the time and visible even on lockscreen, coz i saw few other videos and one guy actually had the same behavior like me whereas the other had the bar always visible, kinda strange.

good to hear from someone else atleast we know that its not that uncommon..i dont mind that navigation bar appearance at all since swiping between apps still works and so on, but i sometimes feel that its harder for me to reach recent apps as its requiers to swipe more to the middle than before, but it might be just my feeling

I just checked and it seems though it is accessible from a little bit to the side on the OPLauncher, it is harder to trigger
Might be due to the fact that you can perform all kinds of gestures while using the launcher. I rarely use app switching there but I can see this being annoying. Unfortunately, you could only use an old apk as long as the system one isn't newer.

yeah but as i mentioned at the begining of the post, i ended up factory resetting the phone which comes with way older OP launcher as default and the behavior was exactly the same, so idk if any older apk will do the trick i think its not related to the launcher
Hi folks!
I have an issue with my Samsung S9+(G965F) display:
After locking the screen and reopening it, my display turns into a blurred, whiter color everywhere, menu, settings, no matter what I check.
These issues came for the first time after the Android 10 update from April 2020, now I got the latest update on the 30th of October 2020 which didn't fix this issue!
My software version is G965FXXUCFTJ2/G965FOXMCFTJ2/G965FXXUCFTJ1
Security patch level: October 1, 2020
One UI version is 2.5
Android 10.
After hours of Youtube, forums and other sources I got a temporary solution for this:
If the Always On Display is set to Show always, then after reopening the phone has its original color like it should be...weird! If I tap the screen after locking it then the AOD appears as well and the colors are fine.
The problem with this solution is that if I lock the screen and want to reopen it quickly in 1-2 seconds (before the AOD comes up on my screen) then the display color is once again blurred, whiter.
The problem appears only if the AOD is off or appears too late on the lock screen.
I have tried also many solutios but until now this is the best that I found.
Other tried solutions:
Google Play Books app, blue light off doesn't work!
Samsung factory Blue Light filter settings doesn't work!
Display settings don't fix this issue!
No other themes are installed, only the Samsung stock, blue theme is installed on my phone!
After I installed Nova Launcher I tried to find the Night Light app in it , but I couldn't.
Maybe in the old Nova launcher version there was one but now there is not.
Wipe cache partition delete, doesn't work!
Reset and Factory Reset doesn't work!
Check the attached screenshoots which were taken with an S8 because my S9+ takes just blurred, whiter screenshoots, strange!
First and third photo are after AOD appears on the lock screen, 2nd and 4th are without AOD on the screen lock, blurred and whiter!
Any other ideas maybe?
Thank you in advance for your replies (hopefully I will get some) and sorry for my poor english
Love , peace & understanding!
Best wishes: adrianonimus
Find app called "OLED Saver" and install it. It's available on google play store.
App will control your phone light but before you start using it turn on your screen light to maximum then adjust from app to what ever level you want. I had similar problem and this worked for me, using it for more then 2 weeks, not happened even once after.

Hi ivica122!
Thank you for your reply, I tried this app also, not so bad, wonder if the factory brightness has to be set always at max, how will this influence my battery....any observations about that?
In fact my problem will be if I want to sell this mobile to someone and have to say something about this whiter screen...
I was waiting for the latest software update with big hope that this bug will be fixed, but unfortunately they didn't....
At least with this app I can turn off the AOD
But anyway, this is a solution, but still waiting for a software fix or whatever...
Thank you for your answer, have a nice day.
Yes, it will be a problem if you want to sell it, i also hope some update will fix this but starting to doubt.
About battery life - with oled saver you can lower down phone brightness as much as you want, you can even use auto brightness from oled saver, it will keep your screen problem free and battery will be used like you lower down brightness from your phone. I didn't notice any difference. Look at the app like override of phone brightness functionality.
You know what, maybe you can try downgrading it to the latest android 9? If that fix a problem you can sell it like that, because when i was reading about this all people that has a problem said that problem started after upgrading to android 10.

I cannot downgrade my phone as is not rooted, so this option is not my solution...
I will use this app and wait for the next update, who knows
But anyway, thank you for your alternative.

nic nie dało wrócenie do androida 9 i androida 8 to samo dalej jest
Translation: Going back to android 9 and android 8 did not work, the same goes on
Hi! Just want to inform you guys that even with the latest minor updates from the last 3 months I still have this problem, I'm now on the latest version: G965FXXSEFUA1
Android 10
One UI 2.5
Security patch: 2021.February 01.
So no fixes here at all.
As I said before, my phone display colour is clear only if I open the phone with the AOD always on, so that I can see it.
If I will open my display before I see the AOD, (1-2 second) the colours are blurred, whiter, so no change here at all.
If I don't use at all the AOD then the display is always whiter, blurred!
My phone is not rooted, I don't want to root, and the OLED Saver app is only a kind of solution...of course the display is better with this app, but if I will sell my phone I will have to say something about this issue, so I'm afraid I will not get a good price....
I want to change my phone and I want to believe that this issue is not a common problem on other Samsung phones, even if I read about this problem affects Note 9and 10 also...
So, help me GOD!
I'm not in to this anymore but have you tried to find the way to downgrade it to android 9? Here on xda? I will try to find.

I really don't want to root my phone, but anyway. thank you.
I will try to make once again a factory reset, but I have so much things which I have to reset and reload etc.
Anyway, I will update this thread after, hopefully it will fix this.
BTW, I want to change or to buy a new Samsung S20 FE or Samsung S10+, which is better? I guess the S20 FE model worth better...
Don't know which is better but root is not required for downgrade, if this tutorial is true. I am downloading last android 9 update from samfrew.com and will give it a try:

OK, but for me is not so easy this, I use my home also for work and if I do this with Odin the security changes will stop for my enterprise stuff....so only the factory reset is my solution, anyway let me know about, thank you.
Factory reset will not delete that? I'm not so sure I think it will delete all installed software and remove all logs and cookies and stuff like that, but good luck, i'll downgrade mine as soon as i have time and will write here if the problem is solved.

Tomorrow I will make a factory reset, I will tell you what's up after, waiting for your downgrade result, thank you.
Btw, if your downgrade is successful you will upgrade also to the latest Android 10? Or you will stay on the 9?
I already did factory reset to my phone a couple of times and that didn't help, because the problem is in firmware and some people noticed that problem started with ui 2.0, which is part of android 10, so i will not upgrade again to android 10, i will stay on 9, i don't care about android 10, i really don't see much difference, i only want camera firmware upgraded and that happened with latest android 9 for this phone (night mode, for example), that's all i need so i will be very happy if 9 is working like i remember it, with no screen problems at all.
I don't know why i find this now and not earlier but it seems that samsung phones can't be downgraded, at least not from android 10 to 9. I bet people who new this are now laughing instead of telling us that it's impossible but i just tried and failed, you can't downgrade from newer binary to older. So oled saver app will have to be enough.
This is very disappointing from samsung, first they update my phone with faulty firmware and then don't allow me to go back to older one that was good.

Yes, I guess is only possible if you root your phone before the downgrade, I saw here something about, but I will not try with my phone as I'm not interested, I just wanted to know if somebody else has this problem and maybe there is a fix for it, unfortunately it looks only this OLED Saver app is an option.
Same problem. Been using oled saver for a while now. Works, but I'd rather a cure than a band-aid

So one more of us Did you noticed when this problem started? With android 10 or earlier?
I honestly think mine started after I dropped the phone. I could be wrong.
Here what i found
