I didn't think this would be a development thread so i'm starting it here. This is just some of the random issues I'm having.. and was wondering if anyone else was having these or any other issues.
The unknown notification on lockscreen is apparently for other people too.. and i've noticed it's dealing with the stock messaging app. Has anyone figured out how to turn off the counter on the stock launcher for the stock messaging app if you're using a different app like Handcent?
Random lockups. My phone will not come out of sleep.. or i won't be able to unlock it. nothing will be on the screen and i have to pull the battery in order to do anything.
random FC of an app.. or just not even notified of the FC just get this vibrate then double vibrate and everything crashes back to the home screen. First did it when i started setting up the device. and done it a few times since. I've also had one time that was continuous of "vibrate...double vibrate" over and over and over and over.. you get the picture.. and i had to pull the battery.
Is anyone else having these issues or anything similar? Or should I run back to the store and exchange this sucker?

No problems here at the moment, had it about a week and havent seen any of the problems you are mentioning. But this is just for me.
I get this hard crash (vibrate... double vibrate... soft reboot) at random times. It seems to be when I'm running several apps at once. For example, driving to work,I use (Google) Navigation and Doggcatcher for playing podcasts, while GPS and Bluetooth are both enabled.
These apps have been rock solid for me with the 5 other Android phones I've had. Besides, the crashes happen with other combinations of apps. Come to think of it, audio playback is usually (always?) involved, be it with Xiia or the stupid built-in music app.

that's what i've been noticing. but sometimes i'm not even running many apps. i haven't put much on the phone since i've been having these issues, but these apps work perfectly even on my G1. i think i'm just having odd issues with my phone pretty sure its getting exchanged on monday.
I hav the odd vibrating too...Not sure if I should return the phone or not.

i think the "odd vibrating" where its a single vibration.. then 2 quick vibrations.. is a sign of an FC.. not 100% sure.. but thats what i see going on when it happens to me. I've also noticed when i'm outside and thinks i'm selecting things or moving the trackball thing. always to the right.. i think my phone is faulty..

I get the double vibrate and bam, FC's. Usually when im trying to open up and or lots of stuff at once on my phone or using a different launcher "adw" or others and it would happen. Wheres the fix ey.
is anyone having a problem with notifications? i use GoSms, and it doesn't seem to sound the ringtone i have selected, the message just comes in silently..... and same with Beejive IM, and i think K9 mail. all these things worked perfectly on my EPIC 4G.
i was using handcent.. and it was working fine.. minus the unlock screen unknown notification. but everything else has been making sounds just fine.

Dang ok, well I may have to unroot mine if possible, and take it back, haha. So I'll be watching for a response to your question in the other thread.
Edit: I fixed my notifications..... somehow my notification volume had been turned all the way down, so I wasn't getting any sounds for texts, emails, etc. Not sure how it got turned down, but sometimes I guess settings can get jarred by various things we do to our phones.
hey guys
i just got my nexus s yesterday and i've been experiencing some touch screen responsiveness issues.
it only happens during the homescreen. whenever i'm swiping through homescreens, it would not respond to the touch at all, except sometimes when pressed slowly with lots of force. everything else (unlocking device, app drawer, texting, everything) responded well EXCEPT swiping through homescreens...
a simple reboot fixed this problem and i havn't seen it happen yet so far, but has anyone else had something like this happen to them?
-----------------------------
also, when i'm trying to put a new event into the calendar, i get the message:
"You have no calendar"
any way to fix this issue?
Thanks,
----------------------------
edit: sorry for the long post, but is there any way to get back the old market? the new one is quite laggy on my phone.. (it automatically updated itself the second time i opened market)
Hi all,
I've got an issue with something appearing at random on my N5 and I have no idea what is causing it or how to make it stop. Occasionally I get a blue bar with an "@" and a number behind it along with an "ok" button below it which appears on my phone at random times. I have to hit the ok button to get it to disappear. I don't know what it is or what it's for. It comes up randomly and with no specific action on my part triggering it. Last time was a few minutes ago not long after I opened the play store. Another time it happened not long after I opened Boat Browser. Other times it will pop up when I'm just navigating menus. I posted a screenshot to show what I mean. Does anyone know what this is?
FYI, I'm running Purity Rom, and using Nova Launcher. Don't know if that's relevant. Thanks
So I've been using my S6 now for about a month I would say, and the problem I'm having is the stock messaging app seems to have slowed down tremendously. I used to be able to use it smoothly transitioning between SMS & MMS, but now scrolling lags quite a bit.
The main problem I am having though is viewing pictures. Whenever I get sent a Picture Message and I tap to enlarge it, it takes anywhere between 8 - 15 seconds to enlarge. At first I thought my phone wasn't registering my touch so I tapped the screen a few more times. That didn't help, it still takes a long time to open the picture. The problem for some reason seems to be worse when in a group message.
Any one else experience this issue? Is there something I can do to remedy it?
I guess a simple solution would be downloading a different messaging app, but I just wanted to keep it simple and use Samsung apps.
Thanks for the help.
No, I'm not having this issue at all. I've had my phone for a month.

I know i saw others complain about lag, but as i am texting the side bar with the settings pops up randomly constantly as im typing its driving me nuts! Anyone have this issue or know how to fix? Its not just in text its on internet browser too as i type another box with settings pops up. Ive had nothing but issues with this update ?
I have a similar issue with my S7. Pretty sure I turned this off before the Nougat OS upgrade and it came back. There's one game specifically that I play that has small buttons on the right side of the screen, and about half the time the stupid sidebar comes up. I've looked around and don't see how to remove it.
There's a lot of old posts about disabling multi window but that doesn't seem to apply to the current devices.
Edit: So after wondering why I couldn't find barely info on this, I thought maybe it's not the S7's software but my launcher. Lo and behold, the dock was from Go Launcher. Going into Go Settings and then Dock I was able to again disable the side dock (It was marked as disabled, had to enable then disable). Hope that helps someone experiencing this!
