I experienced this issue on the unofficial Oreo(CRC2 & CRC4). And now on the official update. Drives me crazy. Cleared browser cache, deleted data and even hard reset and it persists.
Ideas anyone or do we just have to wait for the next update?
I guess no one else is having this issue.
Anyway after lots of trial and error and hair pulling countless resets etc I figured out turning ANY app accessibility setting on causes the problem.

I'm had a really strange bug/problem in Android for months and I still haven't been able to find the roou cause of it in order to fix it.
For some reason the browser is not rendering correctly webpages - the fonts are extremely small and the page is off centered.
This is happening only while on 3G/Edge connection - if using WiFi this issue doesn't occur.
This happens with every single browser: Stock Browser, Firefox, Chrome, Dolphin, etc.
I thought this was a ROM specific issue, but I have tried flashing more than 3 ROMs now (every time I've flashed i've done a wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and wipe data/factory reset) with no luck. I also tried formatting the internal SD.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
(I opened months ago a thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876535 since I thought it was a rom specific/device specific issue, but since it its not rom specific/device specific i'm posting here hoping someone knows how to fix this).
Thank you!

This is Your answer. Maybe Your GSM/CDMA provider is using some kind of proxy. Check APN configuration on Your phone. If there will be nothing, then I can't hel You.

Having an issue with the "touch" on this rom. Been running it for a while and now suddenly random apps
open when I touch the left side of the screen. It doesnt matter what app i'm in. Also the back button stops
working at random. Ive cleaned cache and dalvik, cleared data and done a clean install and the problem
is still there. Tried fixing permissions to no avail. Anyone else having this issue or any recommendations?
Thanks

I'd try a different rom first; if that doesn't work, try flashing back to stock. If that still doesn't work, it kind of sounds like a hardware problem

Try disabling multi-window or long pressing back button to make the side dock appear. I had a problem where the left side of the screen was launching apps at random and it turned out to be that the dock for multi-window was acting as though it was open, even though I couldn't see it. I think I was able to stop it by showing then re-hiding the multi-window dock.
That makes sense. I will give it a shot. Certainly seems like that is exactly what is happening. Thanks

I was having that happen for a little while also, but it wasn't on RLS7, it was an earlier one, maybe 5.7. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I remember disabling the multi-window and that fixed it.
Hello XDA Developers,
I come to you all with a problem. I am having trouble with my GPS; it won't lock. I have tried these things:
Using GPS Status and other GPS fixers
Doing a factory reset using Mr. Cook's ROM Wipe Script
Clearing data and cache of my GPS apps (Waze and Google Maps)
Idk what else to do. Every time I use the GPS apps to pinpoint my location, after a navigation session, it goes back to getting stuck on "waiting for GPS".
Any help is appreciated.
What firmware are you running? Have you had the same problem with other firmware?

I am currently on an unofficial nightly of CM11 ported by RenderBroken. When I was experiencing those problems, I was on Omni ROM for Android 4.4. I was on ShoStock3 before the Omni ROM, and it was the same problem.
I don't run anything AOSP based so I can't speak about how those might affect GPS, but since you have the problem across various roms, and even on SHOstock3, I wonder if the phone has a problem with the GPS hardware? Have you ever had good GPS at any point with that phone? If so what were you running at the time.
I've had some GPS issues in the past but am not having any issues currently. I've been on SHOstock3 for a long time. My issues were on an earlier version of SHOstock, I don't remember which one exactly. When my GPS would fail to lock, just as you described, a reboot would fix the issue and result in a fast lock, but then the next time I would try to use GPS, I would have to reboot again. It was very annoying. Someone said that to format cache, wipe dalvik cache and fix permissions would fix the problem, so I tried that, and yes I would then get a lock in 5 - 10 seconds and it would stay good for a few weeks until I would have to do it again. I never experimented to see which of those three things helped, or if you had to do all three. That was back around June or July of this year.
As I recall, the next base change on SHOstock completely eliminated the issue.

I have had a lock before. When I used GPS Status, it would get a lock for a short while, but when I ran the navigation, it would get stuck at waiting for location again.
Wow I'm about ready to toss this phone now. I keep getting an issue where messages starts to lag like crazy, and then CONSTANTLY force closes. I'm talking like every few words I type, it force closes. I'll open it back up, type a few more words, the FC again. The worst part is, I've already factory reset for this exact issue TWICE! Both times my phone ran beautifully for a few weeks, then all of a sudden out of nowhere messaging starts turning the phone to ****. I believe the first time this started was after the first minor update after the L release. I'm 100% stock. I don't really have any ideas for what else I can do since I've already done the factory resets and I'm not running any kind of modded software. I can't continue with factory resetting every few weeks.
Any ideas what's going on?
Not precisely sure what the problem may be. I have never had any major issues withe Messages app, but I've also never run the stock AT&T software for any significant length of time.
Try to run the latest RUU. Its a much cleaner way to update than OTA; and will re-image all software and hopefully fix the problem.
Well I might've figured it out myself. I noticed auto-delete messages was off. I cleared out my messages and magically it seems to be running smoothly for now. There must be some kind of bug once you hit a message limit or something...

I thought about that, since I remember at least on past HTC devices the Messages app would have major issues when there were too many messages.
But the factory reset would have wiped your messages; so I didn't mention it. Did you backup and restore your messages after the factory reset?

Yes I think I had restored following the factory reset at first. But then when I reset again, I don't think I did, which is probably why I've been ok for a few weeks now.
When I try to open Do Not Disturb in the notification settings, it just crashes. It also crashes in safe mode. I've wiped the cache, but no dice. Has anyone had this issue? I've only had this phone for 3 days, and this is about the 4th issue I've had with it. It's kinda ridiculous.
No issue for me, S21+ with march security patch.

I also got the problem after restoring my S21 from a backup of my pixel 4. You have to reset the settings app to fix it. Search for „reset settings“ in the settings app.

I ended up returning the S21 for an S21 Ultra, but I'll keep this in mind if it happens again.
