Icons resetting every reboot after Oreo update. - Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers

Hey,
I just recently got my S3 and I love it. I upgraded it to Oreo just the other day and any time my tablet reboots the icons and home screen are back to default, along with some of the settings (one that stands out is the Sort By; Alphabetical). Has this happened to anyone else? I am on a Verizon S3 on the latest update. If so, how did you fix it!
Thanks,
snrbtz

I'm not on the Verizon version. But when I updated my Galaxy Tab S3 to Oreo and rebooted it didn't change my home screen. All the groups and apps were in the same spot.

I did a factory reset, updated, then set everything up and it works fine now even after reboots!

Same issue
I got the same problem and very annoyed
I have an S7 edge samsung

Have you tried to do a full reset? I noticed that some tablets have been 'factory-tested' and never been reset to original state. Mind you, all your apps will need to be re-installed. Make sure you have some form of backup of your personal data (slightly harder for non-rooted devices) before doing this.
Are you using pure stock everything, and not rooted you SGT?
Worst case scenario: exchange (after resetting to factory state) your P7510 for a new one, as you are even within the first 14 days of purchase and shops will exchange, no questions asked, within that period.
Hi,
just bought the tablet 2 days ago so a full reset is a option i'm going to try. I was planning to get this tablet rooted but if this problem stays i'm off to the store next week to get a exhange...
thanks for your help!
problem solved, just a quick factory reset did the trick!

i757m JB 4,1,2 Lag Issues

Hi Folks,
This was the closet forum I could find for my phone. I actually have the GS2 HD LTE (i757) from Bell Mobility in Canada. Monday I finally received my Jelly Bean Update (4.1.2) I wish I could say I an excited however it has caused me so much stress, Ever since I installed it my phone has been terrible laggy. ICS gave me no troubles but after seeing the huge performance boost in my Wife's i9100m last month when it was available to hers I did not hesitate to update mine. Below I will list my symptoms, as well as the steps I have done to resolve this. I have search everywhere for an answer and have come up with nothing. Also to note, my Friend in the office has a Galaxy Note with a different provider (Telus) who received the update the same day, we can put our phones side by side and we both experience the exact same issue.
Setup:
i757 (S2 HD LTE)
Not Rooted
Symptoms:
Swiping to unlock is choppy
Opening Messaging to text takes three part (Loads the body, loads previous message and then keyboard loads in the middle of the screen and works its way down.
30-45 second pause to open the dialer
when clicking the power button to get to the lock screen it shows the desktop for a second, then god to my lock screen wallpaper then my lock screen icons appear. After this I can swipe.
loading apps
at startup RAM is 558MB/737MB. I hit clear memory right away it goes to 394MB/737MB. But open any app I am back up to to 550MB-600MB
Things I have tried:
Install install was Down with Kies as a regular update with all my Apps still installed.
I Wiped Cache and down a Factory Reset
Reloaded the Stock ROM with Odin3 v1.85
In developer options I disabled animation for Window, Transition and Animator
I disabled ripple effect for lock screen
I disabled Google Now
Tried to Wipe Cache then resume use without reloading OS
Tried Disabling GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi and sync.
Installed Android assistant to clean up startup
Did another Factory Reset/Cache Wipe then install OS from MSD
None of these options have made a difference. The phone worked flawlessly on ICS, I don't know what else I can do. Has anyone experienced this issue? and if so have they fixed it?
At this point I will try anything before I take out the hammer and fix it for good. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
- Boots!
Also my Current status is Factory Reset/Wipe Cache OS Installed from SD Card nothing install.

Hi,
I have the exact same symptoms on my SGH-i757m.
The phone is brand new! I got it for the job, in replacement of my s2-i9100. As soon as I got it, I had the official ICS, then JB done to it...and it is an absolute disaster up to now.
Sometimes I can't even take an incoming call because the ''incoming call screen'' (with the green and red phones logo) freezes, giving me the ''com.android.phone has stopped'' error.
I'll be looking out for solutions, but I might just take it back to ICS soon...

Please keep this thread in mind, Anything I can find I will post it here. If you could do that same that would be great. My S2-i9100 was amazing with the Official JB release also. I am surprised more people are not complain online about this as I know my friend with the Note on Telus is having same issue (Update was released the same time for him) I also called Bell and their Tech support said they were receiving alot of the same issues since the May JB update..
Damn Lag has got my phone!
AH! damn update lag has got my phone and my girlfriends too! We both have the samsung galaxy HD LTE I757M phone and have exactly the issues all of you guys have. From extremely slow response to flickering and its just a pain in the ass. My girlfriend tried a factory reset which worked for about a week with no lag or anything but then just started the same lag issues we all have. A lot of people apparently are reporting that a factory reset does the charm but its only a matter of time before the issues creep back to your phone. Right now I am going to try a custom rom for our phones and hope that it works. If it does Ill post the results for you guys to hopefully benefit from.

I installed JB 4.1.2 today, saw some improvements, hope it is fixed for good !
The ram usage on boot (369MB / 737MB)
Sorry to post again !!
Okay, it started to lag as described by others. So I went back to 4.0.4... The battery life is better on Jelly Bean because it can reduce the screen's power (not just brightness)
I did this today, my last attempt with JB...
In Dial :: *2767*3855# (it formats everything, even sdcard, so backup your things before doing this !!!)
I configured ICS from the welcome screen (no gmail configuration, etc.)
Installed JB 4.1.2 from Kies.
I disabled the programs mentionned at my previous post...
There was still a lag when unlocking the phone. Tried Holo Locker and didn't do anything... still lags.
Then, I searched on the net :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224906
It seems TouchWiz has problems rendering Widgets on homescreen, so, I installed Nova Launcher to replace it.
For now, when receiving a SMS, after unlocking, the wallpaper can become black, but there is no lag like before. :good:
Same situation
My wife‘s i757m has the same situation. I wiped to factory and uninstall like "let's golf", google play music. Then it turned much better for about 1week and then be back lag lag lag again.
I have no idea why it is so ridiculous , cause my friend's I727(GS2HD rogers) is very good after he updated his in March.
Please help me SGH-1757M

Edge settings

Hi all,
The edge screen settings have disappeared from my device. There is nothing listed in settings and when I search for it nothing comes up. If I open the edge screen (contacts and apps draws) and select the settings icon all it does is return to the home screen.
My phone did an update earlier today which was something to do with the edge screen but I don't know if this is what has affected the settings as I haven't looked for them in a while.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?
My phone is stock, on O2 (UK) network and has never been rooted.
Many thanks in advance.
sounds like something got borked in the update. sadly a factory reset might be your best bet. have u powered down and rebooted your phone? my sons edge plus was having some edge issues and a simple reboot fixed it.
Many thanks for the reply sand. I just tried the reboot but it has made no difference. I'm trying not to think about a factory reset just yet, lol

Stock Android 6.0.1 on S6 Edge: Blocky graphics issues

I just bought an S6 Edge SM-G925F phone on eBay. It came with a bootloop issue in the setup where once anything was saved it would shut down. So I flashed it with a fresh 6.0.1 stock image and cleared the cache which seemed to fix pretty much everything, except for this issue.
Certain elements across the system are fragmented, like in these screenshots (I can't post direct links):

The phone has the latest updates from Samsung. I haven't been able to find anything like this on the internet and I'm not sure where to begin with it.
What should I do?

Keep Screen Off not working

Hey all,
the "Keep Screen Off" feature stopped working ever since I received the update to Nougat. With Marshmellow it used to work flawlessly. I've tried countless combinations of settings, checked all sensors and whatnot - to no avail. I was hoping Samsung would address this but here I am months and numerous updates later and the feature just won't work. Strangely I can't find anything on that issue on the internet. Even more so since my woman's S7 has the exact same problem that appeared with Nougat!
Phone: international Galaxy S6 Edge
FW: G925FXXS5EQG5/G925FVFG5EQFE/G925FXXU5EQFE (latest German FW)
Any help would be highly appreciated, so thanks in advance.
