[BUGS LIST] Android 5.0 Lollipop - Galaxy S 4 General

GT-I9505G 5.0
Phone app: in Recents calls: shows unknow outgoing calls (this makes no sense since an unknown number can not be called)
Phone app: dialer is VERY laggy; when I initiate a call, the phone will look like it is doing nothing for 5-10 seconds, then will start call. When answering a call, people on the other end cannot her me and I can't her them for about 3-5 seconds causing some to hang up before I can say anything.
Fix: Wipe Data/cache.
Photos app: pressing the left soft key, it opens a black menu.
Workaround: tap the three dots button at the top right.
FlashLight tile not present in quicksettings
Fix: Use the flash light in the camera app, the tile will appear after this
If you find other bugs, I'll add them to the list.
I would like to report these bugs to Samsung but still do not know who to contact, If anyone knows who to contact to submit bug reports, please tell me.

*Ringtone, phone won't hold custom ringtone-resets after reboot

-I have found that the dialer app is VERY laggy. When I initiate a call, the phone will look like it is doing nothing for 5-10 seconds, then will start call.
-When answering a call, people on the other end cannot her me and I can't her them for about 3-5 seconds causing some to hang up before I can say anything.
I am stock 5.0. I haven't rooted or modded it... yet.

Am I crazy, or do we not seem to have the built-in flashlight that everyone else is talking about with lollipop? I can't find the darn thing anywhere.

I set a mp3 custom ringtone too, and I do not have this issue.

I know I'm going to sound like a crazy person saying this, but in case anyone else runs into this issue: the Flashlight setting was not available anywhere for me *until* I installed a third-party flashlight app (I installed Torch since it seems to have reasonable permissions). After I installed the app, the in-system Flashlight setting showed up in Quick Settings. I am not making this up.

I am on Cricket. I have an update though. After after clearing the data/cache of the dialer app and restarting, it is much better. Still a very slight bit of lag when dilaing out, but it is more than acceptable. Also, I can answer with no problem. Not sure what was hanging it up, but all is good now.

You don't sound crazy. It appeared for me eventually as well. I never downloaded a flashlight app though. I started up the video app and turned on the light while taking a video. Not too long after, it showed up. I think you just need to use it in some fashion or another and it should show up.

When I try to delete a file from my microSD card using any file explorer app that has been updated for Lollipop's new API allowing write access to the external card, I am asked to grant access permission by choosing the root folder of the external storage when the Android "picker" is displayed. But the picker only shows internal storage, not listing external storage as an option.

I may be wrong, but try the SD card fix with this app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix

Thanks for the suggestion. With Lollipop, the root-based work-around this app implements is no longer needed for apps that are updated to use a new Android feature. Android 5.0 introduces a way for asking the user to grant write access to the external SD card. That's what's not working as it should. I am also trying to add this to my own app and it fails in the same way. I'm guessing this is either a problem with version 5.0 that is fixed in 5.0.1 or is only affecting the I9505G, since I haven't found anyone else noting the issue.

I am having the same problem also. When I try to move ,delete etc. a file using ES file explorer it fails every time. I get no message asking for permission to do so
either. Have tried root explorer also with same results.
Also my phone with 5.0 will not set a default ringtone. I can set one and it shows as the default but when I go to a contact that has default ringtone when I
click on it all I get is a generic low tone. I have to assign a custom ringtone to a contact for it to work when I get a call. This also happens with notification sounds.
In other words I cannot set default sounds for anything that work. Very frustrating and time consuming to have to go through every contact and program to set custom sounds for them!

I was having issues with sd card access with certain apps. It may have been because they have not been updated to use the new permission but I went ahead and did the platform.xml change and all is well again. I know it shouldn't be required, but it works.

The problem that I'm having last 2 day's is that I get a random message Simcard Removed. Phone freezes until I reboot it again. Very strange because the rom ( echoe lolipop 5.0 ) is now for almost two weeks on the S4 and worked flawlessly
Only thing I have changed , or added is the app android wear because my kids gave me a smartwatch for Christmass .

Hi! (I'm italian)
I'm having the "unknown caller" bug too..
Is there any workaround for it?
Clearing Google Dialer cache/data did not solve the problem..
Thank you!

List of bugs (until they're patched)

What's up guys, for those of us lucky enough to be using the G1 already, put of a list of what bugs that need to be fixed and improvements that need to be made. Since anyone can develop 'droid, the more nags are brought up, the more likely they'll be fixed.
I've noticed the following.

2) USB connection - not sure if this is a windows error or android error, but I get an "I/O device error" when connecting. Using an 8gb sd card.

>>> Since RC29: no more I/O error, but now getting "No Disk Found." Android does indicate it has a USB connection though.
3) No indication of sms received if screen off and phone on silent. The status light will blink green for a notification, but with charger connected there's no telling aside from vibrate
I edited this original post a bit since the RC29 update - if there's one thing I can thank that update most of all its the speedup on the camera time. I have kids and you can't get them to hold still for nothin! After the update I was able to snap pics with them swinging at the park even and they came out fine.
bt and wifi
Hey, im not positive but im pretty sure you can make a shortcut to things like settings on your home screen, so then it would only be maybe two taps away? idk, i gotta wait two more days to be sure =/
shortcut only available to settings not directly to comm manager AFAIK, which only takes it to 3 taps.
When you choose to reply to a message from a notification it does not go in the subject feild but instead to the sent feild. (I want to type right away its a habit and when I do its in the contacts...
Hey,
For accessing the SD Card make sure you go to settings - Storage and SD Storage Settings, and enable USB Mass Storage Mode. If you go to Android Market - there is a program called AnyCut 0.6, you can make a wifi toggle button and bt toggle button on the home screen.

Which Android Market is that? I looked through all the apps today and didn't see anything like that.
The marketplace should be back to normal tomorrow for the release. They've been updating all the apps and the marketplace itself for the release day.
good point, B. I hadn't thought of that.
The only other app I need is for Google Docs to have the ability to edit. I didn't realize until I started trying to input numbers into a spreadsheet (my workout stats, gym geek, I know) that I realized that's read-only.
By the way, what's the point of a read-only spreadsheet? That's like having a fridge that opens up and just has pictures of food in it.
for some reason the music app won't play my mp3s?! any ideas?
I've noticed twice now that my phone just stops recognizing my SD card. I have to take it out then put it back it for the phone to pick it up.

Happened to me as well.
2GB SanDisk microSD
Please add this bug to the list. microSD card is unmounted randomly and must be reinstalled to remount.
1. When the phone is off and connected to via USB cable it didn't seem to charge. At least the charging LED didn't come off if the phone was off. But then again it might be charging and just might be a bug in the led.
2. Cannot save images sent via MMS sent from other G1 users. This needs to be fixed.
Battery life is disappointing
I am sure it is because of the newness, had to charge the phone 3 times yesterday. This morning had it off the charger for less than and hour and phone was down to 70% charge. I just disabled autosync and gps, lowerred the brightness. Wil see how that affects things.

5) Not a bug; but another WinMo thing I am used to - Wifi and Bluetooth need to be more than 4 taps away. There might be an app to fix this but as for now - going to wifi/bt isnt simple.

There is an app call Any Cut that allows you to make all kinds of custom short cuts on your homes screen. I used it to get to wifi/bluetooth in one tap. Its an awesome app.

Lost in call audio
For some reason lost all audio incoming and out going on a call, it showed i was in call but i could not hear anything and the caller could not hear me. I did not change any settings, was on a call like 10-15 minutes prior to this with no issue.
I was able to clear the issue when i soft reset the phone.

It's in the same category "Activity"
There should be a "Bluetooth Settings" to choose, I have both on my screen now. Maybe in an update we'll be able to edit the icon from Any Cut.

Open Any Cut and select activity. The scroll down to WIRELESS CONTROLS. Select that and it will make a short cut for you. When you press the icon it should open the wireless controls, there you have access to wifi and bluetooth.

[Q] No push notification on data screen off

Hello everyone,
I have my Huawei Ascend Mate 7 for two months now and I noticed a strange problem : Push notifications of certain apps not working. Only on data while screen is off. Apps like Whatsapp for exemple. If I turn on the screen on or if I press a button (even just "volume up") the notification arrives. Whatsapp is set as "authorized" in the notifications manager. The app is also checked in "protected apps". I use "Normal" mode as Energy profile. Data is set to "always on" in Network menu.
Gmail seems to work correctly on data. Everything works absolutely fine on Wi-Fi.
It seems like certain push notifications "fall aslepp" immediately after the screen has turned off and arrive if I wake the phone up by simply press a button.
Any ideas on what is going on ? It's a very annoying problem. I had an HTC One M8 before and everything worked fine...
Thanks in advance for your help. I precise that I am french, I do my best in English !

Can you be specific which apps not coming through ? Check what apps you have and you want to enable..
Do you have apps which will OVERRIDE your phone settings? And you have no idea what those apps enabling and putting in sleep..

The same problem happend for my,
Also the gmail app working good when turn screen off.
no push Notifications for certain app's like WhatsApp, Instgram, and others apps.
what is the best way to contect with Huawei?
Could this be because the apps are set to sleep when the screen is off (I.e. protected apps)?
Thus they fire into action as soon as the screen is on?
Guys check in actual app or in settings / manage apps and check individual app if notifications are ticked/on ..

I precise again that all these apps have completely normal behavior on Wifi. The problem only occurs on data. I didn’t have this problem on my HTC One M8, Nexus 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4.
It’s very annoying because Huawei Ascend Mate 7 is an excellent smartphone !

I knew you have one thing wrong ...
You in your 4th picture u have all apps set to notify .. that is WRONG ....
The notify in this case doesn't mean that they will notify you but it will notify pop up if u want allow app push notifications ..
So change desired apps from notify to allow .. ! that is why you not receiving them ..
Check which apps u want 100% allow and the res you trust less select notify ..
In fact, I tried both. "Notify" and "Allow". Beside, the system asked if I wanted to authorize the app to display messages, so I tried that but nothing has changed. I tried to return to "notify" just to see, that's why it's set like that on my screenshots.
Thank you for your help !

Leave it to allow and restart phone ..
I set Whatsapp as "Allowed" and restarted the phone. I waited a few seconds till the screen turn off. I send a message to myself with another phone & another account. Nothing happens. The screen stays off. I wait a few minutes, I turn on the screen and bam, the message appears ! This is the behavior on data.
On Wi-fi, when I do the exact same thing, the screen wakes up and I receive the message immediately .
So the problem is still here... Very strange...

which rom u using ?
Yesterday I updated to a more recent ROM that is : MT7-L09V100R001C00B121SP05 via USB (nothing was proposed via OTA)
I just saw that the MT7-L09V100R001C00B127 exists and it appears to be the most recent rom. I could try to install it.

yeah flash it locally
Okay so I'm back to B120SP04 rom as you can see on the screenshot, the flash has factory reseted my phone. So I download and install Whatsapp for a try, I applied the good settings again as you can also see on the screenshots (Protected app, Authorized). The problem is still here : on data, nothing until I put the screen on. On wifi, the notifications arrive each time immediately.
It's very annoying cause I love this phone but I have a lot of foreign contacts who use WhatsApp and I can't be on Wifi all the time...
Your help and your time are very appreciated though !

I'm using my Note 3 settings and translating from dutch to english so it might be different for you, but nevertheless it could help:

I don't know if the exact same option exist on Huawei phones, but it could be this : "Enable always-on mobile data" in the Mobile Network Settings menu as shown on the attached screenshot...
I tried Push Notification Fixer (non-root version cause my phone is not rooted) and it doesn't solve the issue. But I don't think it could cause it's not about disconnection after some time like the problem that PNF fixes, it occurs as soon as the screen is off.
I'm not quite sure if it is an Android/Huawei issue or a WhatsApp issue. But this strange behavior occurs with at least 3 other apps so I think it's rather a system issue.
It's a bit confusing. Anyway, thank you all for your contribution !
If you can find this settings page in your phone try the 'menu' button to look if there's something similar i described (always synchronize etc...)

How to stop incoming calls from preventing you to use the phone?

Hi...
I finally got the phone 3 days ago, but noticed that when i get incoming calls i can't use the phone untill the call ends or untill i answer it, what stopping me from playing / writing messages of even use Facebook app untill: 1. I answer the call. 2. I ignore the call, and wait for the other person to hang up.
I had other phones that i could just press the "Home" button and continue with my things.
Is there any solution for that?

I can't find the dialer in playstore, i downloaded from apkmirror and i can't install to my phone. Maybe can y help me?
Ahh yeah you need a specific one. This works well
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/themes/app-root-google-dialer-10-1-161735957-t3636608
grab version 17 or newer
Great thanks
But the problem is that i think i have to root the phone, because even after installing the latest version and allowing permissions to the Dialer app i still get the calls from the default HTC original dialer.. Im using the last version (17)

you need to go into app settings and make google dialer the default phone app
Iv'e put the dialer as default everywhere also in the app category, it still only shows the calling icon on top of the screen, also won't show any contacts names when incoming calls..
Did you got this to work in your phone perfectly?
Aren't there any other apps that can be used instead?

Yes it works perfectly.
Set as default, enable all permissions for it and it will work fine. Plenty of us are using it without any issue. What do you mean by "only shows calling icon on top of the screen". That sounds like the google dialer which is what it is supposed to do and not take up the entire screen.
I don't know, it just wont work properly on my device, i did all what you said above and restarted the device and still.. i only get the icon on the notification bar at the top of the screen when call enters.
I gave up and downloaded "Drupe" - wonderfull app really does the job well and also looks great (cost me about 4$ - worth it), better than the default HTC's app.
Thanks for the help!
You have to go into setting>application>Phone>application>Phone application, select the app you installed, then you may see the different calling screen when you call someone / receive a call. (not a football fan so installed normal v17)

Adding a new dialer problem

Have to say overall using the OP6 Oxygen OS is like stepping back in time. Standard things you think would be available aren't. The settings are a mess and all over the place as if they just kept putting things anywhere as they added them piecemeal.
I'm trying to add a new dialer as the "stock" one is total crap and have tried numerous ones. It looks like it's almost a first edition of Contacts + , where they grabbed the code and dumbed it down.
Trying to use the Asus Contacts Dialer, it doesn't give a popup when clicking on either Sim button when placing a call as it does see the dual sim. However when I go into the settings, many things are missing in regards to settings. When I click on call settings I get this error message that displays on the screen:
" No installed activity available to handle selected action"
What does this mean? I tried searching for it but got no answers. I'm thinking part of the problem is the way they've done the coding in relation to the call settings that it is not in the correct place so other dialers can't find it. Anyway to get this working so I can disable or uninstall or stock dialer? I really don't want to have to root this phone.
I'm trying to live with this phone for a bit, It's nice I have wifi calling and Volte but that is where the excitement ends. Well when the network actually stays connected and I'm not using airplane mode to reconnect or taking out the sims.

Already tried that, didn't work. I gave it every permission I possibly could as well.

I had similar problem, this used to work.
May, other members help you out.
Agree the dialer is crap so I unlocked my phone just to put on magisk google dialer and contacts which is WAY better.
What the most likely problem is that the Asus Dialer app has some built in dependencies for zen. You would have to debug the apk. To find what they are and then find a way to add them to oos without jacking anything else up .
Waay above my skill set

I'll look into that thanks, to see if there is something else to add. Never had that issue when I added it to other devices though. But one never knows.
I'm still leaning towards the fact that their software is just a horrid mess because I've had problems with several other dialers as well.

Active Phone Call App Disappearing?

I am new to the OnePlus 8 on T-Mobile and I am having an issue where when on an active call the phone app completely disappears. Sometime i can find it again in the notification area and other times I cant find the active call at all. This makes it very difficult to switch to speakerphone or even hang up the call. Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it? I have never had this happen on an android phone before .
Thanks!
Are you using apps for notification LED ? like NotifyBuddy or similar ? i use this app and the phone goes all black and found it difficult sometimes.
Isnt the Phone app visible in Recent Apps list ?
for the time being unless someone really helps you solve the problem, you can enable Power Button Ends the call option from Accessibility settings to end Call easily with Power Button.
I am not using any LED apps. The suggestion about the accessibility option to end the call is a good one until I figure more out. Thanks for that tip!

I had the same problem. After talking to OnePlus technical service they recommended me to do a factory reset from the recovery menu. I did it and never had the problem again.
Hope it helps you.

Thanks. Did you do any sort of restore after the reset or did you manually install al your apps, etc.?

Yes. Before the reset, I made a backup of the phone (the one that appears in the settings) that is stored in your Google Drive to be able to restore it later.

Great. I will give that a try. Thank you!
FYI - That reset seemed to fix my issue as well. Must have been a carryover from my old phone causing the issue. Thank you for the tip again!
