Phone on keyboard slide

I don't know if I just never noticed this since I just got the phone on Friday but every time I slide out the keyboard, it'll show the landscape home screen for a few seconds and then open up the phone and I have to hit home to get back. Same when I slide the keyboard back in. I have changed a couple things like the clock, icons, slider, landscape icons, and so that the portrait left softkey opens contacts instead of phone. Any ideas? Thanks!

im actually having the same problem, everytime i open up the phone say to respond to a text message or something the phone screen (dialer screen) pops up and i have to close it and then go back to my text message inbox.
anyone know whats causing this?

This is a known problem that HTC needs to do something about. Some of the custom ROM's tend to do this with less frequency.

Same problem here! Have had the phone for around 3 weeks, just started happening yesterday.
Any solutions?

Thread isn't getting much attention.
I flashed NATF's latest Raphael RoOM (4.1) around a week ago, and I haven't had the problem again.

I believe theres a reg edit for this, but you must re enable it after a while.

First off what ROM are you using and secondly, you may have done something
ie operator error...

i dont know what the rom is everything is pretty much stock the only thing that i did was the notification delete and some speed ones and unlocked the phone but i didn't flash the ROM

This also happens to me sometimes, I have an EnergyROM. I just do a soft reset when it happens and things get back to normal.

I do a soft reset almost every 15 minutes things go back to normal for about 5 minutes then things start going back to what they used to be now my screen goes vertical and horizontal without me even sliding out the keyboard and my ringer doesn't ring man I just wanna throw it then I remember expensive phone expensive phone

Hard reset and quit tweaking the phone until you know what you are doing. Screen rotation is normal with this device.
Most of what you describe, you have caused or there is an easy fix available, particularly for your keyboard issue.
Just search, read and learn.
You'll be amazed!

Sprint TP2 WM 6.5 won't exit sleep mode and SMS issue

Since I've updated my phone to WM 6.5, I have an issue where frequently I will have to press the power button several times for it to exit sleep mode, and sometimes it will not exit sleep mode and I have to power cycle the phone.
Another issue I have, even more annoying than the former, is when I open my sms messages (via selecting all messages, not using the touch flo sms thing), and open a specific message, when I send a message and exit the message, most of the time it will freeze for about a minute and I can't do anything on my phone until it has finished thinking or whatever.
Any thoughts on how to fix either of these issues?

This question has been asked several times in this forum; Long story short, try searching first before posting. And welcome to the club. Many people have this problem, there appears to be no clear answer why, and Slide to unlock SEEMS to cure the problem, at least for me.

Thanks, yeah sorry I actually didn't look for a solution first, just kinda slipped my mind. Normally I do, but thanks for the reminder.

its just something to do with the stock roms on these devices. so far i dont think anyone has came up with a solution. my Verizon TP2 did the same exact thing CONSTANTLY, the texting thing happened always directly after a soft reset. i think its just kinda unavoidable and the only solution would probably be to switch to another rom. my 2 cents

[Q] [ROM]MiniCM7 Pro - V7x - GingerBread (2.3.5) and my screen stays black

Hello,
Sorry to post this here. I've been following a few threads about x10 mini pro custom roms for weeks now but after signing up I am not allowed to ask my question to that specific rom there. It said I should post it here first.
I am using the [ROM]MiniCM7 Pro - V7x - GingerBread (2.3.5) by paul-xxx for more than 2 weeks now and it works great, I even have a battery life of about 14 hours now instead of 6 after I stopped using launcher pro and used the standard adw.
But I have 2 serious problems.
The first is that I cannot always unlock my phone. I know I have seen this question a lot but in my case the screen just stays black. There is no slider that does not want to slide. Just a black screen. If I slide open the keyboard I see the lights go on some times. When I connect via usb I can open a shell (via putty) and every thing seems up and running. Just the display is now showing anything.
When pushing buttons and sliding the keyboard several times I sometimes get the screenback. Some times just have to wait 5 minutes or so.
Does anyone have any clue what to do about this?
I tried killing the launcher process but that did not help, it just restarts and even if it did help I do not always have the phone connected to usb.
The other question is about missing calls. I had several missed call alerts while i was sure I was next to the phone all day.
Today I saw it happening for the first time. (because I got a missed call sms and right after that a call on the land line which was the same person who called my cell)
So I called my phone (after letting it go to sleep), used top to see whats going on. I saw the process android.phone.com starting to use more cpu (but not 100%) and I even saw the screen get activated (after 10 seconds or so) but no sound and then it went to voicemail and the phone went dark again but the sms with the missed call came in right away.
Is there a solution to this or are there more people have problems with this?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Samsung Interface Not Updating

All,
First time poster, frequent visitor of XDA Forums. I've come across an odd issue that I don't know how to solve and I'm hoping some of you smarter than me folks can get me squared away.
I have a Galaxy S8+ from AT&T running Android 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1.
Problem:
I've recently noticed a delay or completely non-updating interface on my phone. It updates on occasion, but I can't determine what triggers an update. For example, I will pick up my phone from the desk and when I press the power button it shows the accurate time. When I unlock the device, the sense flip clock I use on the main home screen shows an earlier time (could be 30 minutes... could be a few hours). I don't believe it's just the Sense app because I noticed this issue where I checked a facebook messenger app that came and and when I closed the app, it still showed I had 1 notification. I went back in thinking I had another new message, but I didn't. So it was still hanging on to the notification. It happened a couple times with a text message as well. Most importantly, my calendar doesn't alert me prior to an appointment either, even though it's showing in my calendar and an alert is active. If I save an event, and exit, I can normally see the event appear on the on widget immediately as well... but that hasn't been happening. I have to press the widget to open it and confirm it is there (which it always is). Eventually it refreshes and shows up. But that delay is likely the reason why I'm not getting my alerts.
All of this did seem to happen after a recent update Samsung/AT&T pushed out but I don't know for sure. I tried clearing the cache from the boot menu but it doesn't seem there is wide success with that.
And perhaps I'm just not a good enough user, but everything isn't all backed up in the cloud so doing the factory reset to me is always a fairly large task as I have many things to manually transfer out and then back in. Not sure if there are great tools that help with this on a stock phone.

Samsung smart switch works wonders, the only thing that doesn't restore is passwords, you have to have and external SD card for it to work, or plug it in to a computer

Go to settings and check if your time is setup to adjust automatically.
On Edge of Note

That is not the issue. As mentioned, it's not just the clock it's multiple interfaces.

High level overview of issues...
I have the Ring Doorbell app. I get notifications after "live". Could be 5 minutes, could be 1 hour... or possibly not at all. I have the app setup on my wife's iPhone and she gets them immediately. If I restart the phone, I will get notified right away (it's like it runs the app again and then I get the notification). Keep in mind, this is AFTER i disabled the battery optimization feature for the Ring app.
I also notice it occasionally with texting. I won't have any text notification in the notification panel, nor will my messaging icon have a little red circle indicating a message is there. But if I open the app, a specification conversation will have a red circle indicating a new text is unread.
All of this is leading me to believe the Samsung UI itself is not updating and therefore notifications that actually have arrived (from whatever app), are not displaying because of the UI and not because of their own delay.
Because of this concern I have turned off battery optimization for "System UI", "Themes", and "TouchWiz Home". I have not seen any change however.

[Solved]
I was able to determine by various other threads around the web (thought for sure I'd find it here, but I didn't) that the culprit might be the Google app. Supposedly it was fixed in some prior release, but it's not on my Galaxy S8+ w/ AT&T.
Once I disabled the Google app all the odd issues with notifications and clock interfaces and app icons not updating went away. The downside to disabling it is that I lose the Google Assistant functionality which stinks but otherwise there is no impact to using the phone. I re-enabled it at a later date and it worked fine for a few days and then started acting up again. Once I disabled it, the problems all disappeared. Clearly Google app is to blame.
