....stalls the phone big time!
I've had the One S and I love this freaking phone. So far it is such a step forward compared to my Sensation 4G that it's not even funny.
I have run into a pretty annoying glitch/bug and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this: when pressing the multitask button twice in quick succession will cause the phone to lock pretty hard for a couple of seconds. The notification bar disappears, phone locks up completely, then when you hit home/back the notification bar is gone for a couple of seconds. When it comes back it is black.
Now, this would be a minor annoyance if it wasn't for the fact that the buttons are so sensitive that they pick up a press even if my thumb is just hovering slightly above them. Because they are so sensitive, it causes this to happen more often than I'd like to deal with on a daily basis.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
As an aside, does this also sometimes cause the clock on the top notifications bar to disappear on the lock screen? I've included the screenshot below to explain:

Well I'm running a custom rom so I can't test your multitasking problem..
But it is normal for the clock in the notification bar to disappear when on the lock screen. You have the huge 5:00 clock. So the lockscreen removes the notification bar clock

I can confirm this. Just tried and mine stalls as well.
Edit: I don't lose the clock on the notification bar though (on lock screen).

i can confirm this is happening (not always though) on stock, unrooted. would love to adjust the sensitivity of those buttons too.
No problem here. Stock and not rooted.
Edit: Never had the clock disappear off the lock screen either. Something strange going on there.
No lag at all on LeeDroid's ROM. All instantaneous
as far as locking up the phone when hitting the multitask button twice quick, it doesnt happen to me at all.
the clock disappearing on the top notification bar is normal. thats the way ics is. i had the galaxy nexus stock and it did the same thing. i guess there is no point in having the little clock on the notifications bar when u got a big clock on the lock screen its self
My clock doesn't go away on the lock screen, and I don't get any lag when double tapping the multi task button. TMoUS HOS.

Have encountered this twice with my replacement One S (first one had a weird refresh issue that I haven't encountered yet with the replacement). This is all using the stock Sense launcher with pattern locked enabled.
Basically coming out of a screen off situation I unlock via the ring and then get the pattern screen. However, everything is smaller and shifted far to the right so I can't see all of the dots and therefore can't unlock. Only solution is to restart the phone.

Just curious if others have run into this.
Just happened again.
Figured out a workaround to not have to reboot the phone. One of my lock screen shortcuts is the camera. When this happened I went directly to the camera from the lock screen and back to the lock screen and all of the dots appeared this time.

Are you rooted, bootloader unlocked, or running a dif recovery? I have been using the gesture unlock since day one and have had no issues like what you describe. Perhaps a factory reset may help?
None of that. Stock out of the box. I'll monitor it and see if I can determine if it is specific steps that lead to it since it doesn't happen that frequently. Hasn't been happened at all today.

This happened with me too, on my stock phone. It must be a bug that has to do with the camera unlock feature, I just stick to bare pattern and it works for me.
I have the exact same issue with my stock HTC One S. I don't use face unlock just the pattern.
Thanks for the camera thing work around, I was getting tired of rebooting my phone.
Question, when you open the app drawer and start tapping "Menu" on top right rapidly, does the UI start glitching?
It's happen to me as well, I'm using the face unlock now to avoid reboot. I'll try the camera work around.
I occasionally get that as well but turning the screen off and on again or even going in to the emergency dialer and backing out usually fixes it. I've never had to reboot because of it. I use the camera for security with a trace pin backup.

Hey All,
My previous ROM was the saga LBC Mod. This one had a lovely quick settings menu in the notifications dropdown.
I could easily change my screen brightness, media sound and other usefull settings.
My new ROM, Fallout V4.4.0 doesn't have this anymore. It's a shame because for the rest it's a beautiful ROM.
Does anyone know a ROM which has a quick settings menu like described above? Or can I implement it in the Fallout ROM somehow?
Thx in advance!
Marcoevich
Fallout has quick settings
Enable it in fall out tweaks and then tap the carrier name

Ah that Fallout ROM is even greater than I thought it was lol! Thx Suku_patel for pointing me to this feature
I have almost all the options I want, but I only can't find out how to change the brightness settings. I'm supposed to slide my finger through the notifications bar. But where do I need to slide exactly?
In the official Fallout thread I've read that you need to get auto-brightness off for it to work properly. I do have auto brightness of, but I still can't figure out where to change the screen brightness.
I hope you can help me out one last time
Thx!
Marcoevich
On the notification bar, the one that is at the bottom one notification is pulled down.
When you touch the status bar, the notification bar shows up as you can continue to slide, or drag notification and slide at the bottom

Hmm. Maybe I don't understand you correctly, but I don't see a possibility to change the brightness somewhere... Am I missing something?
Check my screenshot:

Dun pull it down. Just slide left or right on it to adjust brighter or darker.

Well, that doesn't work on my phone... Why no making a simple slider? This thing comes down no matter if you slide vertical or horizontal. Even if it doesn't come down there's no brightness change..

Left and right, NOT vertical and horizontal(down and up) :good:
Oh my God guys.. Horizontal = HORIZON = LEFT and RIGHT
vertical = up and down
In fallout settings you have the option to enable status bar brightness changer. If it's enabled, you can change brightness by swiping HORIZONTAL
Sadly, there is no real slider for.brightness in quick settings, additionally the brightness changing is way too responsive IMO
Haha. Ops. Ya horizontal is left and right. Lol

Haha lol
I don't know whats going on here. I tripple checked that I have brightness control enables but it just won't work... Could this be a bug?

I love my nexus 5 but UIs that require me to touch the top left of the screen are hard to reach. Is there any way to apply a per app hack where the top bar can be stretched or maybe lowered? I appreciate I won't be using all of the screen but it will be worth it for a few specific instances e.g. gmail and hangouts.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying your problem is. Everything should be adjustable per your preferences by default. Maybe you can elaborate in more detail.
Had this issue with my Samsung note 2... One of the reasons I bought the nexus 5 is it fits my hands and my thumb can reach the entire screen. This doesn't answer your question but it was my solution to this problem.

Your picture actually did a great job of explaining what you meant to say. I understand now.
Silly question/statement, but do you know that pressing the "Back" arrow in most cases such as that should take your back to where you were. Most often, that specific option like you displayed, that you can't reach, can be activated the same way by hitting the back button.
There are however, plenty of apps and situations where you need to hit an option in the top left corner and the back button will NOT do this action. I have big hands and have gotten used to being able to tap something on any section of my screen.
You could try installing a mod/app to enable custom gestures in which you can swipe a gesture towards the right and set it to that function. (ex: gesture enabled when you swipe from the center of the right towards the middle, it activates a "back" option.
You can try installing "GMD Gesture Control" for this.
Just a suggestion?
Thanks for your reply! I didn't realise the back button could cater for some of these scenarios. I also didn't realise I could swipe from the left for a lot of these apps. This caters for most of the scenarios so I'm happy now, thanks!
Grabbing anywhere on the left edge of the screen and sliding right does the same as pressing the icon up high. Same goes go for play store.
good day.
Anyone experiencing a slight lag when hitting the home button to exit the current app you're in and the animations lags a little and also when you swipe up on the home screen to get to the app drawer I get a little lag.
Maybe, barely perceptible and only time to time.
Maybe a couple of dropped frames, but it has improved a lot in the latest update, the one that brought easier color correction for the display. I realize that some will see it as an issue, but the effect zooming back to the icon where it opened from when resuming to the home screen is enough for me lol, I'm not that OCD
Anything I can clear or check?
It's gonna happen. Try clearing cache by hitting restart and holding power, Bixby button and volume up until you see the blue android screen. Doing this after every new update release is recommended.
You can set the animations differently in developer options. Some people like to bump the times up. It feels "smoother" that way. I have mine turned completely off

Thanks, I didn't know about this. I wasn't particularly bothered before but this intrigued me so I had a look. I've changed my animation values from x1 to x0.5 and it does appear to feel even snappier, although it was no slouch beforehand. Cheers mate.

Make sure you don't change the window animation.

AFAIK there are some wallpaper manager changes in Samsung source. Regarding the wallpaper zoom when you click recents. This may affect the animation of kicking back to home.
Try changing screen resolution then changing it back to what you had it on (FHD to QHD etc) My device smooths out significant. Not sure how this makes sense but it works. Try it!
I'm using Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 and I have a problem with the navigation bar, When I hide it and use it with Full screen gestures, I use the keys of the keyboard last row, while pressing the keys at the same time with gestures hints, it does not release up. Other touches at the same time with gestures are similar. Do not know if other people use this phone with the same problem as me? Hope to find some feedback. Thank you! :fingers-crossed:
I hope that I have understand correctly your problem but for me works properly?
I have hide mine permanently and use it with these settings.

As for keyboard I`m using Swiftkey keyboard.
I have also hid my statusbar as I don`t need it for max screen estate with the Immersive app.
I experience the same thing in Samsung Galaxy A7 2018. If i completly hide the navigation bar and use full screen gesture, I experience this bug:
In the last row, when i hit an option or an icon, it holds down without release. For example in youtube landscape i hit the quality otion and it dosen't open i have to hit it twice or three times.
Maybe in the Android 9 Pie update samsung will fix this. It is normal to experience this bug because it's the first phone that has this option.
Also, is it because i use Nova Launcher? I never used stock launchers on phones because they look so ugly.
In Nova i can costumize Icon size, dock size, rename apps in menu and Home screen, change how many rows of icons and etc.
I also use Nova Launcher Prime but I don`t experience any problems.
Also forgot to say that when commenting in youtube the text is under the keyboard at the bottom of the screen.
Navigation key issues
I'm having the same issue.... At first I thought it was the keyboard so I tried several and had the same issue.

Idem, and Instagram this problem
A new update came out 1st February 2019. 397mb. It improved the touchscreen and fixed the hidden navigation bar, no more bugs at the bottom of the screen. But the text under the keyboard is still there. Maybe in android 9 One more month...
I have the problem in Instagram where the text box is hidden behind the keyboard
