Hi guys,
After a full update of Android Pie, my phone keeps flickering/flashing during receiving or making calls, done some trouble shooting like reboot in safe mode and no app is causing this, done hard reboot, master reset, changed wall paper or even brightness so i think could be a bug caused by Firmware upgrade, however this happens only when calling or receiving calls from contacts, doesn't happen on whats app call or even Facebook. I also never dropped my phone so I am really struggling to find an answer
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

I think it's normal, because when I make a call the background colour of the phone app flickers when trying to stablish call and once stablished it stops and stays fixed

I dont think is normal, one of my friend has the S8 plus and it doesn't flash while receiving/answering calls. Also tested on another 9 plus with Oreo no flashing issues.
My phone does this, the colour moves up and down, its part of the UI

I have fixed through developer options, its not normal to flash while on or receiving calls
Change animator duration scale in developer settings to 0.5 or higher
The background colour flashes dark and light its supposed to do this, maybe you mean something else

Hi all, the matter is very simple, I have been running my Galaxy S2 perfectly for months without any problem, but recently, once in a few days, my volume gets twice lower than normal, I mean all kinds of sound ringtone, notification sound, alarm etc. I checked in settings and other volume apps but their volume bars remain unchanged, the only way is fix it (as I know now) is to clear all the cache and restart the phone, but I don't want to do that 'cause it will come back in a few days without any sign and clearing cache means I will lost some apps' history
Anyone has any clue or suffered from the same problem? 'cause I totally don't know why it's like that ???
Are you using any flip to silence software? I had a similar problem when I had Flip installed.

Hi Everyone,
I have switched over to the Galaxy S2 a little over a month ago. I moved from a Blackberry because of its own issues and having to reboot the phone etc.. but that is neither here nor there...
Before i updated the phone with ICS my Sms and Email notification sounds would work, all the time from what I remember. But now the phone sometimes plays the notification sounds and sometimes it doesnt. All my sounds are turned up full.
I am waiting on a loaner phone from my provider but until then I was hoping to fix it myself.
So today I did a factory reset and the phone did its thing. The notification sounds were working for the most part of the day and now I have a recieved a few texts and emails and the notification sounds didnt sound.
I have searched this problem and really have came up with nothing on this issue.
A few things i did notice though, after i did a factory reset on the phone that when it completed it still had the ICS op on the phone, shouldnt the factory reset have "re-formated" the phone and brought it down to gingerbread?
I apologize if this is lengthy but it is better to tell the issues and what I have done to try and rectify the issues incase some of the things that I have done is what would be suggested.
Thanks for any suggestions and help
Ok i figured out the problem... in the developer options i had selected kill processes after use. When i unchecked it the sound notifications for sms worked properly again.
Problem solved.

Hello,
I bought recently the new SGS3 and after a week or two of using I noticed the phone loses all the sounds despite all of them are turned on and not being on minimum. After a while the sounds get back and everything works fine. At first I thought it might be from the settings because I set up silent mode for all notifications and I thought it may turn all the sounds off, despite it normally shouldn't. After playing for a while with the phone I realized the issue appears randomly without any reasons while I was playing game or simply navigating through the phone. If anyone had experienced the same issue or have an idea what could be the problem (software, hardware, settings, OS, etc) or how it can be solved, please respond. Any answer is appreciated as the problem is quite annoying as I'm missing calls because of it.
Thank you.
Phone details:
Samsung Galaxy S III
Android version - 4.0.4
Baseband version - I9300BOLF1
Kernel version - 3.0.15-782020
Build number - IMM76D.I9300XXBLFB
P.S. Restart of the phone doesn't help as I already tried it. The issues is related to all the sounds not to the vibration, the last works fine.
Backup data and factory reset.

Thank you for your advise JJEgan, unfortunately it didn't help neither. Yesterday I did the factory reset and left it as it is, didn't restore any of my previous settings or apps, didn't install anything additional, just wanted to see if the problem will appear again, and unfortunately it did.
Anything else I can try or I should take it to a service?
Thank you
I have the same problem with notification sounds. The problem appears when i turn off notifications on apk like im+ or Yahoo messenger. Is there any other solution rather than factory rest?

Hey everybody.
My girlfriend is having a terrible problem with her new Xperia Go. It's running the latest Stock Firmware and Kernel without Root and every time she gets an incoming call, the phone won't react for about 15 seconds and then a FC Popup appears. This happens as soon she tries to answer the call. We rebooted it and it worked as it should after a fresh boot, but as soon she uses apps like Whatsapp, Facebook and so on, the problem persists and it's kinda of frustrating. A smartphone should be able to handle those things and she's really disappointed. Thinks I've tried:
-Clear data and cache of Contacts and Phone.
-Hard Reboot
-Recently installed the latest update via OTA (I hoped the problem would get fixed, but unfortunately it's still there)
-Tried using the stock launcher since she uses Nova Launcher
If someone has got an idea of what's going on please reply this post. I don't know if I should root her phone or maybe install a custom ROM. Honestly I wouldn't like to do that since she's a Noob in Android and basically in Technology Stuff. But if that's the solution, I would do that. It's really frustrating.
Thanks! Hope anybody could help
EDIT: SOLVED!
I tried to limit the background processes in developer settings and set the maximum to 4 processes and it magically solved the problem!

Since the Pie update if I have bluetooth on and connected, my s9+ has no notifications sound. It will vibrate but no sound. I have checked what I think it could be and tried the device in safe mode to eliminate an app issue. Seems Pie has a notification bug. How do I submit issue to Google or get help?
Any ideas on the issue?
So I did a network settings reset on the device. Seems to have fixed the issue.

I have the same issue on Samsung S9 with Pie.
Because of your post I reset my network settings but the issue is still there. (all the wifi and Blutooth settings are gone).
So, that doesn't seem to fix it.
You just need to reconnect to your wifi and Bluetooth connections. Mine worked until I restarted the S9 back to no notification sound.
Same problem here. If my bluetooth device is connected, but not in my ear, I don't hear the regular notification sound as I did before the upgrade to Pie.

Sorry, but in my eyes that is not a fix if it doesn't survive a reboot.
It's probably a workaround hack with nasty side effects of loosing all connection info.
Someone tried with a factory reset? I'm thinking about doing it, but if someone did it and it did not work...

I have done the factory reset and nothing has been changed, still same issue
I believe Samsung can solve this issue, but as usual they are lazy as their monthly update
Notification Problems in Android 9.0
I don't know whether this is the correct forum, but I am having problems with repeating notifications that worked perfectly well in 8.0 before the update.
I use an app "Prof Reminder or Missed Call Reminder" that allows repeating notifications with a specified notification sound and repeat period.
With this app, I have been unable to get repeat notifications with WhatsApp, the first comes through, but then after nothing (it seems the signal is dismissed).
When using BlueMail (email app) repeat notifications work perfectly.
Have checked app the settings, permissions etc., and everything looks correct, been through it so many times and double checked everything.
Cannot understand why one app works perfectly, yet another will not work!
Would appreciate any advice or experience, if this is the wrong forum please let me know.
Were are the Notification being stored since Pie?
It looks like to me they are in the system and not reachable unless rooted. Since Pie, I've lost needed sounds that no longer are available.
Is there a way to add back some of the lost sounds that existed prior to Pie?
Notifications for indiviual apps do not sound. I have an app sound for messages but it does not work nor do anyother app sounds work even the Settings Sound does not sound for any app that is requestiing an individual sound. Is this just mine or are others having the same problem???
My notification sound is reset to zero about every day or other day since the upgrade to Pie (no bluetooth involved). No idea what causes this but I am pretty sure it's up to Samsung to fix.
It's occurring on Pie based ROM's. Verified in LineageOS 16 & crDroid 5.4. When connected to Bluetooth , phone is not ringing in speaker but vibrates. So you'll miss calls if you not wearing the Bluetooth headset.
Reported at https://github.com/crdroidandroid/android_frameworks_base/issues/245 , but they mentioned this needs to fixed by core team.
