The past couple of days I've been noticing a couple of quirks with my phone and want to make sure that it's either not just me or some kinda bug in the UI.
The first one is with the speaker. In a couple of different games, when I click around, they'll play some sound. But sometimes, and I've only noticed this two separate times in the past week, the sound will interchange between really quiet and normal volume. I know this info doesn't really help much, but I don't know if it's a battery saving feature of the UI or what.
The more troubling issue regarding sound happened to me today. I was in the middle of a game and the sound just turned off completely. It wasn't muted and I clicked on the rocker to see if I had done so by accident, but nothing came out. I even checked with other games and by testing my ringtone. The only way I was able to remedy this was by restarting. I'm hoping these are purely software based and not my phone's speaker dying. :S
The second thing is less detrimental but weird. Two times today, while playing games, the lights on my dedicated button bar on the bottom would be off. I would exit the game, mess around on the home screen but nothing would bring them back aside from locking and unlocking the phone.
These are not complaints by any means, just a couple quirks I've recently come across that are hopefully universal in some form. Pardon my pickiness.
Ive been getting that sound issue also i was using navigation i basically restarted my phonealso

Thanks for your confrimation on that one.
In case anyone is interested, I think I discovered the button bar lighting issue. I notice it being off today and not turning back on. I then realized that based on the ambient brightness, the light sensor on the top of the phone will either light up the bar or not. Pretty awesome way for it to save some battery.
I've had the sound issues as well. Not a deal breaker to me, but annoying. The issue with audio being low when recording video bothers me a lot tho.

I had the sound issue when clicking when I was stock. It was intermittent and reboot would fix the issue. Haven't seen the others but usually play games on mute.
Discovered a couple more quirks over the course of the week. Would like to know of anyone else has experienced them.
I have the Facebook app (not the HTC Sense one) synced with my contacts. This way, I can fill in photos for the contacts I don't have photos for. But for some, I'd like to use the Gmail icon I made for them. I'll switch it in the linked settings, but after a while, it'll revert back to their Facebook icon. I'm assuming this is a bug with how the app syncs with my contacts?
The second thing is in the stock SMS app. Two times now, over the course of the week, I've clicked to open a particular thread and it instead opens up another one in my list that I didn't click on. I'm fairly sure this isn't user error as I've seen the thread that I want to open up highlight, but I could be crazy.

I have had this happen as well. Something is amiss with sound.
I don't know if it's a bug or not, but when I turn off the display on my phone, it will automatically turn back on after a few seconds. I have no messages or alerts or any setting that I know of that does this, I just can't find a way to make it stop doing this.
Any ideas?
hardware problems would likely be the cause. my girls phone just did that a after a week went compltely blank. SE service center was the last option.
aww really? I did buy my Xperia X10 Mini Pro as a 2nd hand phone and it did have a few dents here and there so obviously it's been dropped on the ground.......but I was hoping it might've been a bug from the rom?
if its a u20i then could be flex which is costly. if its e10i then probably misaligned hardware which is cheap compared to replacing the flex.
it was around 15 NZD for fixing the misalinged hardware (double if it flex problem) but who knows could be a bug of the rom. try reflashing it and do factory wipe

Ya I have a u20i. What's a flex?
I did notice that there's this orange film thing under the USB port, it seemed slightly loose....
the flex is really hard to describe it. try to reflash it first. in that does not work then off you go to SE service center.
After a reflash, it seems to be working fine.
I think it only happens when I plug in the charger, even after unplugging it it would do that 'sometimes'.
BTW could u tell me what that orange ribbon under the USB port is?
sorry i i dont have any clue.
I think I found out what's causing this. I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware problem because the problem always goes away after reflashing it.
However, after I setup my programs and settings, this problem starts to happen. I think it's because I enabled the "automatic brightness" setting. While it's enabled, the screen will turn on every few seconds at regular intervals. But if I disable it, the problem is gone.
So ya, i think it's a bug.
UPDATE:
Ok, the problem is still there. But at least it doesn't happen as much now. I really haven't changed any settings or installed any programs that could've caused this, as far as I know. I've used the same settings and programs on my other Android devices and never had this problem.
It seems others have had the same problem too:

I've tried every suggestion, set wifi sleep policy to never, wifi is turned off (i can't even get it to work properly anyway, as mentioned in another topic I posted). I don't have WeatherBug installed, and since my wifi isn't stable and always drops connection, there's no point for me to sync my data so I unticked that option as well.
UPDATE 2:
Ok I've just noticed that everytime this problem occurs, the screen will turn on 3 times, and then stop doing it for a while, and repeat.
I'm guessing it's doing this because I have unread messages and it keeps showing that under the notification? I use GOSMS PRO and used Titanium Backup to freeze the stock Messaging app, so now I unfreezed it and marked all messages as read, as well as disable the notification in the Messaging settings. I hope this does the trick.....
Sorry for such a long post, but can someone tell me what exactly does this do:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20759383&postcount=2
like, what happens if you change it to a large value compared to a small value? I'm thinking maybe it could be this, as you can also change the settings for the display as well. BTW, this setting wasn't enabled by default, so I dunno if that's the cause or not......

I also had the same issue but was able to get it to stop by doing the following.
- Turn off automatic brightness
- Under advanced settings for wifi, click "Keep wifi on during sleep" and select "never".
Hope this helps some of you.
Also, im running CM9 nightly from 3-5-12

It turns out it was a hardware problem on my fone. I got a new one and haven't had any problems since. Try upgrading to newer CM7 versions, or try out CM9. If not, then go back to stock, coz I've never had any problems on stock even when I was still using my faulty xperia pro.

i have the same problem after installing 2.2.1. i don't know if they are connecting but for me in this version it doesn't work wifi policy ''never''. every time my phone is idle wifi turns off.
I had the same problem with 2.1.9, then i upgraded to 2.2.1 but the problem was still there, so i analyzed the problem and got the obvious solution, i uninstalled the ram booster app i had and problem solved!! So if you have any ram booster, or task manager or killer or something like that try uninstalling it or changing the settings in that app, i hope to be helpful
i don't have something like that but after a long time i use data and not wifi for internet. i thing that this is the problem
Hey everyone,
Has anyone else been experiencing lag on their Optimus G when they scroll through settings, contacts, messages, or apps? On my phone i consistenly get some stutter when I scroll through the settings menus and I wanted to know if this was normal. I am on my second Optimus G after my first one had overheating issues and this one now seems to have some lag issues for some reason. Is this even possible? or am I being overly obsessive over this? I love the phone and if i do take it back it would be for another Optimus G I am just wondering if what I am experiencing is normal.
Thanks for the replies,
yidavs

That's called ICS. Mine does it too. Haha.
If the phone is charging it tends to act strange. So if it is charging try getting a multitouch visualizer and try using more than one finger, it doesn't like to recognize some taps and multiple fingers. (The best way to reduce this is to use the stock LG cord and plug, I was using an older one and the phone was almost unusable, still sneaks in on the LG ones though).
If this is happening off the charger... I am sorry to hear that, I haven't noticed anything of the sort.
But I am on The Base with Nocturnal Mods (not sure if there are any performance tweaks in here or more just audio/visual candy) and am using a third party launcher.
Well firstly, I am using stock software, so ICS with LG's UI over it with no mods. Secondly, I was able to find a place where it lags every time: when I scroll between the sound and display settings. This makes me think it may only be a software issue and should be fixed with Jelly Bean when we do get it eventually. Although strangely enough, now my battery life is really bad, like it wont even last me a day where as a week ago it would last me a day and a half

Are you using the tabbed settings (I'm not sure, but I think AT&T made this... may explain why it doesn't work as well, you can get the default settings menu by just pressing the menu button in the main menu screen and selecting list view (or whatever the only option there is called).
Also, Are you getting wake locks or anything?
I just today had mediaserver DESTROY my battery (like 20% in an hour) and it was second only to android OS in my battery usage info.
I seem to have fixed it though (it didn't go away with a reboot). I had to freeze media storage, boot into recovery and clear my caches, reboot and restart media storage.
I also deleted a song I had downloaded from a youtube video (it was the only new thing I had downloaded it a day or so and thought the conversion may have corrupted the file which is a suspected culprit of media storage rescanning forever).

I'm glad the settings thing worked.
And for the other things, you would have to be rooted and unlocked with an app manager program like titanium backup pro or ultimate backup pro.
Pretty much, a wake lock is an app or process that keeps the phone awake even when the screen is off, using the battery when it should be sleeping.
If you go into settings>power saver>battery use you can see what is using your battery.
Android OS is high on this phone, then next should probably be screen and so on by what uses the most resources on your phone.
One of the big culprits (at least for me) was mediaserver, it was using a lot of power.
Another possible cause for battery drain on this phone is the way AT&T and this phone handles a data connection called fast dormancy (I believe this is for if you have 3G, not sure tough). There is an app that can fix that, but you have to be rooted for that to work I believe.
And you could have installed another app that is keeping the phone on, even if the screen is off.

Thank you for the advice, today my battery life was better, but looking at the battery use break down my "google services" was the highest. I mean it was higher than Android OS which i have never seen before. Wifi was second which is understandable since I was on my college campus all day and then came Android OS. What does this include and is there anyway to reduce this?
Anyone else using the auto brightness and notice that it gets unchecked/turned off randomly? Stock firmware here, not rooted. Randomly noticing that the auto brightness is turning off.
I'm noticing the same thing. Have you found a solution?
No I haven't but I'm relieved to hear I'm not the only one lol!
Seriously, I thought I was going crazy too. I looked on Google and XDA but I couldn't find anything specific to the S6 edge.
One thing to note, it seems like mine started happening after I used Moon Reader, which controls brightness independently of Android brightness settings - admittedly this could just be a coincidence though.
It seems like it happens every 30 minutes to an hour for me. If anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated.
Extra Info: running a Tmobile Galaxy S6 edge with the latest update.
I also thought I was the only one with this problem. Fwiw, I'm not using moon reader and I've noticed the auto unchecked after 30 min give or take of being checked and it pisses me off because battery life is not the best...
Please let me know if you find a solution. Did previous galaxy phones had this happen? I'm coming of an htc one m8 and never owned a galaxy before.

Still looking for one personally... the only other galaxy phone I owned was a s3 and that never had this issue.
LOL, glad i saw this...thought the phone was unlocking in my pocket and accidentally doing this. I also find the auto brightness is awful. Way to dim. Wish Samsung would have used Lollipop's adjustable display where you can adjust how aggressive the auto brightness gets.
I don't really have a problem with the dimness, I just wish it would stay checked...
Same thing with the S6
As others mentioned, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I just have the S6, not the edge, and am having the same issue.
I got a software update last night at around 2am EST through Telus and I haven't had the auto brightness turn off on me for a few hours now. Used to happen once every 30mins-1hour. Seems to be fixed!
Can you test the Fingerprint and Bluetooth trusted devices bug? Set up a trusted device and then connect to it. Then unlock the phone and wait for the screen to turn back off. Then, try pressing the home button to see if it lets you right back in to the phone, rather then having to do the damn swipe screen
many things not working
Hi
I have marked that many things are different in S6 and many many features are missing
1) Auto brightness gets disable on its own
2 ) Edge notification getting disabled
3) Open background tab opting missing
4) Switching between chrome tabs needs left hard key
5) Apps are crashing
6) Annoying Mobile data disable popup window!(with no option to disable it)
7) Long pressing Mobile data options opens up data uses rather than network settings!
8) Quick view can't be expanded by dragging it with two fingures!
9) Syncing is not good
10) people can hear me well on phone.
11) No guest mode!
I get more of a feel that I am using iPhone than S6! Many user settings are missing
Fixed itself
Strangest thing, seems like as of Yesterday midday or so auto-brightness is staying checked. No Idea what changed, I didn't change anything in terms of settings/restarting/etc. I will update if this changes but it is very strange...
Disable Car Mode
By disabling Car Mode, my auto brightness stayed on so far. You guys could give it a try!
found a solution!
So I was trying to fix the battery drain issue by deleting the cache according to another thread, and I noticed that the auto brightness hasn't unchecked itself since, is been about 12 hrs so far but I couldn't go 20 minutes without this happening yesterday.
Give it a try and see of it works for you, it might improve your battery life too, mine seems to be better but is too early to tell.
In case you don't how to do this, here is a copy of somebody's else instructions on hire to do it:
"Turn the phone off, then press and hold volume up + home button + power button all at the same time. You'll see a message saying "installing system update", which will display for a moment, and then you'll enter recovery. Once in recovery, select "wipe cache partition". Reboot, and your battery life will be much improved"

Hello while I really love this phone it's got a few annoyances. I created this thread to see if I'm the only one and if anyone else reports any more.
Frequent FC of the Google and Google photos app
Random things happening if phone is not restarted frequently (eg all sound went quiet until restart)
Keyboard skin doesn't change for lock screen
Let me know if your having these issues or if you have any not listed.
Bugs I've had so far:
- one reboot while using snapchat
- sometimes it takes a lot of time for the device to wake up
- autobrightness is terrible in low light conditions(stuttering and inconsistence)
- while streaming audio with bluetooth in my car the radio somtimes shows audio paused while it's still playing. In this case remote controls also stop working
My xperience
I only had the phone for four days, because I found a dead pixel on my screen. I am currently expecting a replacement or a refund. During that time I noticed that changing the theme does not change anything else besides the home and lock screens. There were some random drops in wi-fi connection. I also noticed a couple of stutters here and there. Two or three apps crashed on exit. I also miss the picture album widget with the swiping pictures on screen. That is not present here.
So no one seems to be getting any issues like me ?

Agree about the autobrightness, it's inconsistent and keeps changing in low light conditions. Makes reading an absolute chore.
I'd also love a way to quick enable glove mode, my previous Samsung had that in the drawer menu.
for those of you who have owned sony phones, has there been timely updates to fix bugs like the ones being reported in this thread? some companies like to release updates with new features but without fixing bugs so im just making sure before i pull the trigger on an XZ1
thank you all!
I've had this issue after the recent update to build 47.1.A.2.324 . Google assistant doesnt work with Music ( default sony music app) . it used to work before this update, and it doesnt work anymore and asks me to set google music as the default music service.
WiFi signal drops when I hold my hand on the backside.
1. The phone seems to reboot itself frequently.
2. Sometimes no sound when alarm is going off. I overslept once because of this
3. Quite often no sound when phone is ringing. Need to reboot the phone for it to act normal again.
4. Crashing when picking up phone. Call goes to call waiting and phone rings again. When picking up there is a very loud biping sound throughout the conversation. This goes away when rebooting.

4. Crashing when picking up phone. Call goes to call waiting and phone rings again. When picking up there is a very loud biping sound throughout the conversation. This goes away when rebooting.

Its a android 8 bug
Solution:
Disable trusted agents on security settings.
Restart phone
Enable security settings. Thats it.

Oh god, i was going to change to the XZ1 this week after returning my Compact due to the rebooting, I thought they'd be different enough internals to not have the same issue. I guess its a Sony/Oreo issue then.
a freeze occourred waking up the phone from camera button. The camera button was set to "open and shot"
I had to reboot via vol+ and power...
Updated to 47.1.A.2.374 yesterday, sadly all bugs remain the same. And I can add one; the smart lock menu is empty and all smart lock function dont work anymore

I can add another issue. That is bluetooth delayed when I watch video on youtube and play some games.

Similar problems here even on the latest build 47.1.A.2.374. Also Google assistant frequently stops responding and then the phone becomes unresponsive and eventually restarts without prompting. Never had problems like this on the XZ when that was released. Seems to be some issues with Google services on this Sony hardware. Suggest everyone having issues pound the send feedback option and hope that someone in Google or Sony are listening!
My notification tones keep going off at random intervals and nothing's in the status bar that could've set it off.
Can confirm random reboots.
Bought the phone from clove and Amazon.
Amazon was horrendous reboots during setting the phone up - returned.
The clove one had no reboots until today, several times.
Some fkd up kernal CPU bogusness going on here.
Sony need to sort this.
I'll check with matlog tomorrow if anything stands out
