Issue 1. my phone shuts off and vibrates every couple of seconds.
Issue 2. Unless I turn on "Disable hardware overlays" my screen flickers
Issue 3. (more recently) I can't sent or receive text, on rare occasions i can get text in and out though.
Issue 4. I also cant send or receive calls. (side issue is I have no sound unless on bluetooth)
What I see on the screen: The ATT text in the status bar is usually not there and neither is the power saving icon is missing too.
What I have done: *#*#4636#*#* I toggled everything and it seems to work for a second but I'm not sure what its supposed to look like.
(currently have the ATT text back annnnd now its gone)
I have also backed up with CWM and did a factory reset with CWM multiple times in the passed few days.
(ATT text came and went again)
If you have any questions please reply. if you can solve or have any tips please reply too. Thanks!

I have noticed some strange activity on my phone. Seemingly random (no rcv'ing texts, voicemails, etc), the hang up button and the middle button will light up and the call button will flash. This happens when the phone is sleeping and when I am using it. Its almost as if I am rcv'ing a call, but no one is trying to call. Any ideas?
i noticed the same thing. i think its a notification for a new text message or voicemail.
well, I suppose that is possible however I have no new texts, no notifications that should be going off at the times it is. Buggy? I run ROMeOS Fuze edition with no manila, but I noticed it on another rom (NATF maybe?)
I recently wiped and flashed both my and my fiance's phones. Both the exact same phone, and I used the exact same install method and rom. (CyanogenMod 9) They should both be the exact same... right?! Well having two issues which only work on my phone, not my fiance's.
ISSUE 1
So I am aware that the Samsung Galaxy S 4G has a known issue with sending long texts which popup with a triangle saying something like "cannot send message". In the past, we've split messages using Go SMS pro. I recently found an app called "BIG SMS" and it fixed my phone so now I can send loooong sms messages like normal and with any app! I installed it on my fiance's phone and her's shows the triangle, it goes away, then shows it was sent and received but nobody ever actually gets it?! What does that mean and why would it not work on her phone?
ISSUE 2
My fiance mentioned to me the other day when she turns down her audio using the phone's side rocker, it goes from low volume to mute and stops without going to vibrate. On my phone, I go from low volume, to vibrate, to mute... Where's that option on her phone?
For your first issue, you would have to install another modem. KG4 is the way to go for long messages. Here's a thread with modems that are compatible with the SGS4G. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192436
For issue two, does your fiancee have a different phone than you?
Thanks for the quick reply! No idea how installing a new modem works but I'll definitely look into it. We both have the Samsung Galaxy S 4G, and I flashed the exact same rom using the same methods, and installed the same apps. ONLY difference between our phones is that we just got hers and mine I bought when they first came out.
Installing a new modem is as simple as flashing it through a recovery mode. That's very odd how her phone goes to silent by the volume buttons. I have the same phone and cannot do that and neither can you.
Does she have vibrate off or intensity set all the way low? Maybe.

That is the mod I installed for both of us. I was used to the old android so now that we're on ICS, I'm not as familiar so I have yet to even find the intensity option. Under sound, we have the vibrate and ring turned on if that helps... That's about the only option I even see for vibrate without it being inside an app.

I just bought a used S8+ and set it to factory settings. Installed all apps and it looked to be working fine. Now I have 2 issues which I can't troubleshoot myself sk any help would be appreciated!
1. The time in the notification bar freezes and updates in irregular intervals (sometimes it freezes for mroe than an hour). If i turn on or off automatic time it refreshes. The time in the widgets and on my lock screen are correct!
2. There is a HUGE delay in receiving SMS messages! It takes up to 30 minutes to receive an sms, which isn't that great when you want to verify your number in some apps....
If you can help with any of these problems, I'd really appreciate it!
I had this problem, not with my S8+ but with my S7 after looking everywhere trying every app, cleaning, resetting i came to the conclusion it was my carrier who messed it up. Maybe flash it with a stock rom and see if that is going to fix the problem.
Thanks for the info, I was thinking about something like that. I'm going to try and see what it does without ny sim card. The SMS seems to be the sms service and app that were in power saving mode.
Ii hope you will figure it out, always it's the best if you open a thread state what you exactly have example
i have SM-GF955F - Oreo 8.0 - CRB7 - ROOTED
The troubleshooting can go smoother
Hi All,
I've had the phone about 8 months, UK model.
About 2 months ago, when scrolling in Wikipedia pages on Chrome browser, the display would alternate between normal and blue light (eye comfort). It still does occasionally.
From a few weeks ago, the keyboard sometimes take about 10s to appear.
A few days ago when on voice call from the phone other person can't hear me but I can them while voice call on Whatsapp is fine both ways. Restarting phone seems to solved it for now.
Then yesterday while trying to access settings from either the home screen or app drawer, it fails but you can see its attempting to as you see the settings screen momentarily then a message comes up saying settings failed to start several times and whether to restore by clearing history. Doing that doesn't work. The only way that I can is to touch and hold the settings icon till the search option comes up and then type the particular setting I want.
Before I do anything to fix this, are these symptoms an indication the phone is on the way to a complete breakdown? Would it be a software problem and I suppose the 1st step to fix is factory reset.
Has anyone experience this on their phone?

Unfortunately it's the Oppo software that causes these issues... We hope we can unlock the bootloader soon and flash custom roms to remedy these problems since Oppo are just incompetent.
Chrome colour shift is fixed by typing into your chrome address bar and type: "chrome://flags" then search "Dynamic Color Gamut" and set it to disabled (or it was enabled, I forget since I didn't have the issue myself)
Oppo uses the wrong microphone on third party apps like whatsapp, signal, instagram etc. and we have to wait for an update to fix that. (Issue has been posted here before)
The rest of the issues you described sound like some software instability caused by the Android 11 update. You should save your data and do a factory reset.
If the issues persist after the reset and you didn't install any dodgy apps or modified the software using adb then consider sending the phone in for repair.
OK thanks for replies. So factory reset then...
