Hello. Just got my second s6 edge today. First one I updated and got the usual screen rotation issue. This one I have NOT clicked on the update and so far it works just fine. Is it the update messing these phones up or is it something else? I know this has been asked a lot but I wanted to ask instead of digging through tons of sites on this all night. If it is the update is there a way to turn off notifications for updates for now? Im in my 14 day window but don't want to mess with going to the store again for number 3. Thank you for any help on this matter! Tempted to update to see but waiting. Using PC to charge instead of the fast charger as well.
It's not the update. I've updated mine and it's fine. Download the update, install the update, turn off the phone. Restart into recovery mode ( hold vol up, home button and power button until the recovery comes up) Do a master reset/wipe. Reboot into the phone and you should be good to go.

So this isn't a hardware malfunction with the gyroscope? Fast charge is ok and all?
I did the OCF update and no issues so far. Fast charging, gyroscope, auto brightness, deep sleep, all seem to be working fine.
What does a master reset/wipe do?

It wipes all your data and programs and returns the phone to factory default. Its like when you first got the phone, you have to go thru setup all over again. It actually called Factory Data Reset
I like doing it whenever I get a new update just so that it's fresh and clean. I'm talking about the one on to recovery screen. Not the factory reset in the Settings. I think there's a difference but I could be wrong.

That's good to know, thanks.
I'm personally gonna hold off flashing until 5.1 comes out. My S6E is just too stable with great battery life & no software issues and I'm nervous about something changing.
Hope Samsung releases 5.1 or 5.1.1 quickly.

OK so I downloaded & installed the latest OTA update (RV23RC03; 1.057) with the power mode choices, and it has completely destroyed my touch screen response! I previously had ZERO problem with this- every key press registered on both the original ROM and the 1st update. Since the latest update, everything takes 2 or 3 presses, sometimes VERY firmly, many times still without registering. This totally sux
Is anyone else having this issue? I should note that I do have a matte screen protector on; this previously caused NO problems.
Is there an easy reasonably safe way to revert back to the 1st update (RV07RC06; 1.029)? A link and/or instructions appreciated. Thanks.
Acer, are you out there? This exact issue occurred with my A510 on its 1st update, after which it became nearly unusable for me. Since it was < 30 days I was able to return it. No such luck this time. Why are these updates doing this? It's driving me nuts!
No issues with touch on update. It seems to be running better actually.
Try to completely reset thru recovery with wipe data maybe.
More specific instructions

That's so amazing. I went from no problem at all, to I can hardly use this any more; only thing that changed was the update.
Can you please be specific about how to reset through recovery. (Step-by-step if possible) and how to wipe data.
Thanks.
You can reset data thru settings/privacy but you will lose everything and start fresh.
I'll check on the other method later on for you.
Also turn up touch sensitivity in settings/display if you haven't...
Edit - it appears that the stock recovery doesnt have those options.
You can still reset by inside ICS like above, or...
Factory Reset:
WARNING: reset will start immediately
Volume button (one dot) and Power button, once buzzes release power button and then toggle the rotation switch on and off a few times
Yes of course, I have set screen sensitivity to high. I think I'd rather go back to 1st update, rather than wipe everything (I do have a backup but it's still a hassle). I can't believe no one else is having this problem.
Any idea how to revert to last update?
Someone in a german android forum mentioned that it help on his device after the update to set the sensitivity to the lowest setting and then back to middle or high.
I tried playing with sensitivity settings, turning on/off,resetting and no luck.
I actually found the ROM from before the update on this website and flashed it as update.zip with vol +power. It worked, I now have 1.029 back and touch screen works perfectly. I'm sorry to lose power management but i think I'll stay where I am . Don't ask me about a Jellybean update; I'll want it but after this I'll be afraid to try it. If anyone has an explanation for this i'd love to hear it.
Hey guys,
I flashed my OnePlus One to 5.02 (TimOs) and it has been working alright for now (ignoring the somewhat reduced internet speed) but now I've noticed that every 15-20 unlocks, it just won't unlock. I can hold down the power button and eventually it will reboot or wait for around 30-60s and eventually the screen will turn on.
I have tap to wake enabled but neither the power button nor the double tap wakes the phone.
Anyone got any suggestions as to why this might be happening?
Thanks

This happens in some specific ROMs,flash another and it should be gone.
I've tried 2 ROMs, it always happens, only on lollipop though.

Did you try from official CMmod webpage?
How did you flashed your ROMs,dirty install or clean?
I havent tried official one yet no, might give that a try later.
Clean install, wiped everything.
I heard that it could be something to do with the proximity sensor?

It`s a bul**** i had the same issue and tried another rom that fixed it. But now i`m on official nightly and it`s fine. Give it a go
My U11 (64Gb Eu version) is completely stock, bootloader locked. Today the Home button stopped working-including the fingerprint sensor. It doesn't recognize any touch. After some restart-wich didn't solve the problem-I decided to make a factory reset. It didn't help and on top of that, the fingerprint menu has disappeared from Settings .
Did anybody experienced something like this?
If something that should be in the Settings section is missing after a Factory Reset & you didn't modify it, sounds like it's time to get a warranty replacement.
I had this once after getting the phone wet, dryed off imidiately but took about an hour for the fingerprint reader and button to work again. Maybe not as water resistant as they're advertising with?

It was never really wet... Started quite suddenly. It must be some hardver related issue. I bought it only two weeks ago, so I called the shop to arrange the warranty. Thank you guys for the responses.:good:
Happend to my 2 times
Just had to power phone off and on to make home pottom work again
that is weard
Having the problem now. I did not get the phone wet at all. I tried resetting it, no luck. Fingerprint option is in settings, but doesn't load, with the phone freezing for a bit, and then nothing.
And I'm experiencing the same issue. Please someone help. HTC customer service is the worst I ever experienced and I don't want to send the phone to them.
EDIT : PROBLEM SOLVED !
JUST BOOT INTO SAFE MODE AND IT WILL WORK ! After that you can reboot normally and it will continue to work.
Boot to safe mode : turn off your HTC u11, press power button to turn it on as you do usually, but when the white htc logo appears, press and hold volume down until the phone boots completely.
Didn't work for me
I think you have to reset your phone to factory settings. Backup your data and try it. Let it boot, then power off the phone and power it again to safe mode.

Didn't work for me. Reset everything except internal storage and recovery. Didn't even get asked for fingerprint on setup...like the hardware disappeared. Woke up next day, rebooted, and it worked. PITA to not have a home button!

Just wipe system cache and it works again.

It happened to me again. Two nights in a row. I was walking in rain lastnight, and problem started several hours later. Seems to be issue on other devices as well: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...vailable-issue-started-out-of-nowhere.450914/
If we have TWRP, would we wipe or erase cache? I thought erase was more thorough?
I followed advice in above thread and let phone battery fully drain, and tried to power on again to make sure battery is dead. Then fully charge to 100%. Don't think that worked, it was late. This am, once again, after charging all night, I reboot and it works.
I'm on Leedroid, rooted with AOSP lock screen. I wonder if the "don't require PIN after boot" setting is causing problems? And this option is both in Lee Tweaks and System Security.... not sure I understand the difference. I'm also having to enter a PIN on a System prompt when I boot... not the normal lockscreen. Also, I have to enter a PIN when I start TWRP.... weird.
So is this hardware or software issue? Should we send it back? Is there a 30 day money back guarantee?
Hi,
I have the issue since last update I did recently is 1.24.400.8 . Did factory reset multiple times and fingerprint settings option has totally disappeared. Did get wet in water or anything. Please help. It's a new phone and did not expect this from HTC
Please suggest if any workaround or fixes. Thanks.

Well the last two nights mine was fixed in the morning after full charge and reboot. When it worked this am, I deleted all fingerprints and reprogrammed. Has worked all day so far.....
(Edit) Stopped working after one day.

I dont know how it started but, since last update 1.27.400.8, the fngerprint aka home button is almost dead. How does full charge and reboot helps? Does booting in safe mode helps ?
can we downgrade HTC u11 to first firmware
Before updating
Can this make the sensor work again?

Should I make factory reset from settings or in recovery mode?
I was having some problems with adaptative battery turning on by itself so i talk with the support and they give me a trick that actually fixed the problem. They said that it can fix also another problems so i will explain here, in the worst case is just a waste of time.
Turn the phone off and connect to the charger.
Enter recovery:
-Hold power + Vol Up until the phone turn on and then release power but not volume.
-You will see and ****ed up android. Hold power and press vol up for 3 seconds and release volume up.
With this you will be in the recovery. With the vol keys go to "Perform a Graphic Test" and press power to execute. It is kinda weird but it doesn't perform a graphic test, it just reinstall a update or something
So if you are experiencing some weird behavior you can try this and see if it solve it.
I've done it, but the Wifi issue comes back aber 1-2 days
or immediatelly if you perform some FlyMode ENABLE/DISABLE
I made a video of the mobile after the refrresh and after the issue comes back
Paired with 2 other smartphones
You can notice when the issue is "active" the mobile just see 1-3 WiFis SSID (normally they're 10 or more)
And it even reports a wrong signal strenght
Plus it fails to connect to the Paired Wifi several times (eventaully always)
Resetting the Android networking system doen not work
Usually a soft clean helps (reboot with VolUP + power and wait for AndroidONE screen to appear twice (I guess they're actually 2 consecuve reboots)
Lol Support sold you a lemon. The "graphics test" is literally just playing the animations the recovery should when installing an update. It's not doing a damn thing. I think the reboot just helped you out.
I had the wifi issue and it worked for me. Now wifi connects after enable / disable flymode without rebooting the device.
thanks

They didn't sold my a lemon because i did it and it actually solve the problem. Before i tried everything, including reset, hard reset, deleting all the battery system app cache and data, disabling them, enabling them again, nothing worked and adaptative battery kept turning itself on. I had the problem for months. I asked the guy how permorming a graphic test is related to some bug in adaptative battery and he said he doesn't know and Ingenineer team said that to him, it seems that it is not only a graphic test, maybe Nokia touch something there. The thing is it solved my problem, that is why i shared it here just in case.

I think you should wait just 1-2 days before saying it. I hope it really worked cause I have the same wifi issue.

This morning, after the night in flightmode, wifi doesn't connect without a reboot. But now, just the same as yesterday, i can switch flightmode on / off and wifi connects normally. So maybe it depends on the time the flightmode is enabled?

I dont know mate..I usually switch to airplane mode during the night when I go to sleep cause I dont want to loose battery during the night..we can try not to activate it but I hope we will have a fix in January.
I experienced this problem after installing the January Security Patch on my Nokia 7 Plus. My router is a Huawei and my network SSID is hidden. I tried a few things:
* Reset network settings
* Restarted in Safe Mode - added network and could connect (note, it's a hidden network so I selected that option in Advanced Settings)
* Rebooted into normal operation, would not connect
* Modified my router's settings so the network was no longer hiding its SSID.........phone connected!! Seems stable so far.
Can anyone confirm any similarities with the above and if the steps work for you?
I have two Nokia 7+ phones, one works fine on Wifi the other refused to connect.
I did the graphics test as above and it now connects without any issues.
I will wait and see how long this 'fix' lasts for.
Fingers crossed.
I tried to enter that special mode (recovery) but it just boots into the system! I have had many phones and got into their recoveries quite easily. However seems like I misunderstood the instructions here? Can someone explain me more in detail how to perform the graphic test?

adb reboot recovery
Or
When poweron/reboot hold PowerBtn+VolUp until you see "no command" with green Android logo
In both method is switch from "no command" to menu by pressing PowerBtn+VolUp

Eventually I did the "graphic test" which indeed performs just the animation as another user was saying, because WiFi issue has not improved.
What I was doing wrong when trying to access the recovery was simply not connecting the phone to a power source prior to pressing vol up and power.
Just picked a 7 plus a week back & loving the phone so far. Given it had 8.1 out of the box I went through the day 1 upgrades and had a few of these problems. Being a new phone, a factory reset post upgrade was no big deal (I keep everything backed up so it's rarely a big deal) and my wifi problems went away with it. I've found this with Android upgrades in the past. Hard for the Devs to treat every upgrade permutation given apps and time, but easy to test the clean slate, so more likely to be stable that way.

Hi guys, so this is weird even to explain.
sometimes I just like to restart the phone, from time to time.
What happens is, I press the power button, click restart, phone restarts, works for around 30sec, and then it restarts itself once again, after that, it doesnt do that anymore
anyone else is facing this same "issue" ? any ideas how to prevent it from happening?

just tried from the virtual button, looks like just restarts normally, and doesnt do the second reboot.
when doing it from the physical button, it does the double restart. weird.
I never use the physical buttons unless absolutely necessary - want to keep them in good working condition for resale......so I tried a restart using the physical power button and it reboots/restarts only once as it should. Not sure why this is happening. "Maybe" something to do with the amount of pressure you're using, or the little metal connector is still making contact for a few seconds after use????
I would just stick with the virtual power switch myself. YMMV

Try updating the phone or factory reset or reflash the current image file again. Could be an update gone wrong.
Also, are you rooted? Magisk? Lsposed or some variant of xposed? OS version? Please provide much more detail as those bring with them a host of potential rebooting issues.
Curious if the second reboot is a full reboot or just a systemui reboot.

I think its a full reboot, takes the phone back to the unlocked bootloader screen and all.
Try disabling lsposed and see what happens. I used to get weird reboots with various youtube replacement apps so that'd be my bet
