I've been wanting to update to android 6, but i heard that there are bugs, can someone please tell me the bugs that they have encountered
i have read somewhere that some edge functionalities have been removed, such as phone calls (they are not showing in the edge anymore, night clock, etc.) are there any other edge functionalities that are gone? when updating from Kit Kat to Marshmallow?, or should i update, i want the new Icons, screen off memo, air command ui - that is all i want from the new update (coming from stock kit kat)
thanks
We have a major bug in MM, fingerprint issue, it causes soft reboots. See more: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/help/mm-update-lockscreen-set-to-fingerprint-t3366375
Edge panels will work towards. Phone calls etc still shown on Edge screen.
Incoming phone calls still show on the edge, but the widget for shortcuts to direct dial contacts is no longer there. I use the paid edge panel Quick Contacts as a workaround.
Camera button shifted to main screen in Lollipop and stays there in MM.
Night clock does not show the weather.
Other things are more less the same on the edge.
S pen is much better and the system runs much smoother. Personally, found it a good upgrade except for the two annoyances above.

The fix on the Verizon model is to turn off the three animation settings in developer settings. Turn them all of the way off. Mine (Verizon model) hasn't done the soft reboot since I changed it this morning. It had been doing it CONSTANTLY since way back in July or whenever we went to Marshmallow on the Verizon version.
PLEASE let Samsung Support and your carrier know that this is a problem that THEY need to fix.
It was driving me absolutely crazy.

does the edge auto shuts down on 11 % battery ?
Update. No missing function. Only issue is if you use a fingerprint occasionally the device will software reboot and force you the enter the backup password and give no option for fingerprint. Very annoying but you could just use pin or another lock option.

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.

At first I thought glitches I saw caused by the app (inbox) itself. Then I keep seeing it happens on other apps as well.
It is like some elements (ie, action bar) of apps flashing or the whole screen flickers. It usually happens only a second or two at most; too quick to make a screenshot of it.
Though, this problem is not happen regularly, it is frequent enough to get noticed.
Here are some apps that I remembered glitches happened, it happens in other apps too but usually very quick and random.
In FX File Explorer, sometimes glitches occur during transition animation between folders.
When adding a new Google account in Settings, the big top blue part of the screen flickers.
In Inbox app, sometimes tips bar just keep flashing for almost 2 seconds when I closed it.
And, in A Better Camera app, this can happen sometime:

I'm considering reverting back to 23.4.A.0.546.
Even though the old firmware has stagefright bugs, it's very unlikely that someone would use it on me, and I don't use MMS anyway.
for me both cameras are better in .232
and yeah I have these screen problem
and did you notice that the speakers are noticeably lower in music ?? now they are like Z3+ !!!!
I had some screen tearing when I first installed .232, but none since then.
Speakers seem just as loud as before.
I do have the same problem.
Made myself a prerooted fw using PRF, downgraded, rooted and upgraded using the prerooted firmware i made.
Also made a factory reset. Now i'm getting screen tearing while scrolling, video glitches and stutterings.
I saw that at first but not anymore (maybe I haven't noticed them).
Strange thing is that 232 version should be Stagefright free, however, I've runned a test and I'm still vulnerable to one of the flaws.
The fact that our Nougat update got a bit late was annoying. The update was released and them feels were amazing..
However, at this point I am about [.....] < that close to throw my phone across the room... every single time I lose not only my WiFi connection but at some times even my cellulair connection...
This has never happend on either Lollipop (5.1.1) or Marshmellow (6.0.1). My phone has never been rooted and is up to date according to the last Samsung updates. I am currently running the latest 7.0 build (NRD90M.G920FXXUE5QE8), Security patch of May 1, 2017.
Some screens to show my issue:

}
As you can see, the first show no cellulair connection but a working WiFi...
The second shows the other way arround, no WiFi but a working cellulair connection. Both screens are taken tonight a few minutes apart.
I have tried:
- Reboot
- Wipe cache
- Forget and reenter WiFi
- Safe mode to exclude apps (but even in safe mode both connections will fail at some time)
I have performd a factory reset just after the OTA update and I haven't changed anything special within my phone, haven't installed any extra apps.. So I am a bit lost.
Anyone else with this issue?

I have the same issue. Not really sure what to do. I'm thinking of just taking it to the Samsung store and trying to get it replaced.
Did you find any solution?
Sounds like your data keeps bouncing from hspa to LTE and back. Whenever it does that it can be disconnected for more than a minute. Make sure you don't have download booster on and maybe lock connection to one type. Wcdma or gsm. Other than the usual crappy s6 signal it has been worse on mine since nougat aswell.
Hey all,
My Pixel 3 standard started freaking out today. I have initiated an exchange, yet thought perhaps someone may have had/fixed similar issues. I was in the middle of playing a game and my screen kept shutting off. I closed the application and found that SystemUI was crashing at random intervals, which is what was causing the screen to blank. The phone was also very slow at this time and wouldn't respond to several inputs. I also had a few instances where the phone opened random apps on its own. I tried going into safe mode and I don't seem to experience the issue. I am presently unrooted and on the latest November OTA. I've also tried removing any apps that updated today as that's when the issues started.
I've started the exchange process, yet it's five days out for a replacement and it's going to be painful to be without a fully functional phone for that amount of time.
Any ideas of what to try? I thought perhaps crash logs, yet I'm not sure which to parse...
Thanks!
I too started seeing System UI isn't responding message. Tapping to wake the phone or pressing hardware buttons had a delay in both normal mode and safe mode. I tried reapplying an OTA image from December and same result. So I tried Factory image vs OTA image, same result. Turned off always on display to see if that improved. Same result. Removed any case and screen protector to see if that was contributing, but same result.
I'm having a harder time getting google to initiate the exchange as I bought my device off swappa and can't access the original owner's email or order id. Never thought that was needed - until now. Buyer beware. I bought pixel 1 and 2 straight from google, but went secondhand with the pixel 3. My mistake.

Have you factory restored?
I have tried to factory reset my phone and I'm still having this problem.
It happens at random when getting an incoming call, I can't see the caller screen, the UI is frozen, can't silence it pressing the buttons, can't wake up the screen until the phone decides to let me use it.
It's so annoying.
I am stuck with this issue during this lockdown, can somebody help? Or tell me what worked for them?

Works for chinese version, not sure about other models but you can try. All that still works. Google services, call recording, disable app through adb, etc. Only issue I discovered is music stutters if you don't switch sound effects to Kirin or another effect. How to = Just change region to china in app gallery, then apply and download beta through my Huawei app (You'll see available devices, just choose yours) then go to settings and software update. It'll now show up for download......
Updated mine yesterday and can notice (too early) an increase in battery life by 10-15%. Also I like the UI much better than Android 11. All google apps are working without any issues. I have the Chinese model.
Got Harmony 2.0.0.165 on my phone waiting for update. Will Gmail and other apps work? How to disable upgrade?

Post this update every product from Google works fine without any issues. If you want to disable the update change the setting to disable overnight install
I'm assuming Ascending ringtone is still not able to be disabled as I have not found it. I hate the feature and wish they would put the option back to turn it off and it rings at full and not this BS as I have missed many calls due to this.

Thanks.
All my Google apps, WhatsApp and text messaging work just fine. Notification has changed - swipe down to see them.
I really think the snappy feel of my mate 20x is lost after harmony os 2.0... the top right corner of the phone is also heating up a bit.. its been around 8 hours since the update. What do you guys think? Will it improve?
Anyway to get harmony os on global mate 20x evr l29
