[Q] Screen reverse animation stopped working

This isn't a huge issue, but I noticed this today. Is there a way to fix this without a factory reset? The screen still reverses.

There is a setting in Settings -> Display -> Reversible animation . Did you happen to turn it off by accident ? Even if not, you might want to set/reset that option to see if it helps .

Thanks for the response. That not it. I also notice there's no rotation animation when apps rotate from potrait to landscape. They just switch.

Did you check the animation settings in Developer Options ?

Those looked normal. I gave up and did a factory reset and it working fine now. I noticed the issue after I install a beta version on adguard for what's that's worth.

try restarting the phone before doing factory restart. most of the small issues gets fixed after a reboot.

I tried everything I could think of before the reset. Rebooting was the first thing. A case like this is where I really miss having root access. If I had root I would have tried flashing a new Rom first.

S7 black screen problem

Hi,
I just got this s7 for 3 days and i have this problem where the screen wont turn on but the phone still is active.
A hard boot will fix it but its only a temp fix because i had this problem 4 times now in 3 days.
I didn't root it nor did i install any weird apps outside the google play store, i disabled a couple of bloat ware apps like all microsoft apps and a few google apps like hangouts and gmail.
I did some research and found out that more people have this problem but all the fixes they got it to wipe the cache but the phone still has the problem after that so i would like to know if more people on xda have this problem and i would like to know what they did to their phone so i can see if we have anything in common to pin point the problem.

See if the setting for preventing the phone to turn on in your pocket is enabled. If so, try disabling it and see if that works. It may be a problem with the proximity sensor if it's a hardware issue.

Thanks for the reply and i have that setting indeed turned on! So ill switch if off right now and lets hope this will fix it!

Seems like turning off that feature didn't work

If you have an SD remove it or format it. I had this on kitkat because of too many files in internal memory

Think i found the problem because i think its fixed. While restoring my old settings like wifi etc from my ggole account caused this problem and now that i skipped this part in the setup the phone seems to be working now for 2 days perfectly but thanks for the reply and help.

Woot, I have fixed the problem!!!!! Its the App Power Saving Feature that causes this!!! I had some app set to "always" and when i used any of these app and then put the phone in standby then it would lock up every now and then. Now that i have turned off this setting the phone runs steady for a week!

Is your phone still working fine without blackscreens?
I've got the same issue (sometimes 4 times in an hour, sometimes it doesn't happen for 2 days..!!).
I've tried fixing by doing a factory reset and turning app power saving mode off.
Unfortunately this did not fix the problem. Yesterday I got an unresponsive blackscreen again :crying:
Any ideas what could fix the problem?

Audio stops playing after locking the screen

Hi, I didn't find anyone with similar problems I have with Honor 8 after EMUI 5 update so I think I am rather lonely with this problem.
When I am listening to audio in apps like Deezer, PocketCasts,... there are 3 events that occur randomly after I press power button to lock the screen:
- There is no problem. Audio keeps playing.
- Audio stops playing. When I unlock the phone app is still running. It's like someone would press pause button.
- Audio stops playing. When I unlock the phone I see home screen. App closes itself.
In battery settings these apps have "Close apps after screen lock" option unchecked.
I've already done factory reset but problem persists.
Does anyone also have this issue? How to fix it?
I would be thankful for your help.

Just chiming in to say I have the same issue but unfortunately do not have a solution. I did a factory reset also hoping to fix this but it has not (EMUI 5). I only use Pocketcasts but when it happens (maybe 1 in 5), the app has always closed even though I also have specified the app not to close on screen lock.
Hopefully someone else has come across this and might have an answer.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try and see if it helps.

I don't have this problem any longer. See my reply in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/music-apps-close-phone-locked-t3671198
Basically, disable Chrome browser from closing when the screen is locked.
Hope it works for you too.

Question SEE ultra randomly restarting

Hey Guys, as the title says my S22 Ultra is restarting randomly. It seems to be worse in the mornings, but stops in the afternoon and evening. I have updated to latest OS version, have updated all of my apps.
I tried running in Safemode for a couple of hours without it restarting so I don't think its hardware.
I am not doing anything on it out of the ordinary when it happens, browsing Instagram or using it with android auto in my car and it just turns off and back on. My storage is not full 10gb available, also it feels warm around the camera, top half of the phone. Its always done that, I think they just run hot.
It is turning off and then back to the Samsung logo and back on within 45 seconds which leads me to believe its not a full crash, maybe an os crash?
Any ideas on what I can do? I think my next step is a factory reset.
Model: SM-S908B/DS One Ui 4.1 Current os: S908BXXU2AVF1 / S908BXXM2AVF1

You can clear cache in recovery mode and see if fix before you factory reset.

Okay cool I'll try that

So I tried clearing the cache last night but still have restarts this morning. Is there anything else I could try?

Go to Device care, then menu and automation. Check if you have auto restart enabled

Hey just checked and it's off. So frustrating because it's happening while I'm using Google maps to find my route.

That's a tough one then. What about the button next to the menu button on device care? Does it say anything about a restart history there?

if it doesn't restart in safe mode, one of your 3rd party apps is causing the issue.
submit an error report and get feedback when it restarts again
Samsung Members app > Get help > Send feedback > Error reports

do you have life360 app installed on your phone?

Question AOD and screen wake on notifications stopped working

Hi all!
I've been searching for a solution for some time but couldn't find any.
Always On Display stopped working on my Pixel 6a. It's all turned on in the settings but it simply doesn't work. It works only in those cases:
1. When device is rebooted into an Airplane mode
2. When device is rebooted into the Safe Mode
3. When device is rebooted but not unlocked for the first time
There are also no notifications displayed so screen wake on notification doesn't work. Same story as above.
I thought there is some app blocking it but couldn't really figure out which, I tried to disable many of them but none helped.
I did a factory reset once but issue came back after few days.
I seriously have no idea what might it be. Hope someone here might have had similar problem and found a solution.
Thanks!

Would you be down to try flashing a custom ROM?
I've read in another thread not long ago someone saying their Tap to Wake randomly stopped working. We narrowed it down to an issue with the proximity sensor (so the phone thought it was in a pocket/covered, therefore didn't let Tap to Wake work, he had to use the power button to turn the screen on). He then flashed a custom ROM (it was LOS, I think), and that solved the issue for him.
I've also had some issues with the stock ROM, flashing a non-factory one solved all of them
If you want to keep on using the factory ROM, you might wanna try using the Android Flash Tool instead of just factory resetting to make sure no corrupted settings can live on.

I would say it does not have anything in common with the proximity sensor since it works fine with airplane mode turned on. I want to stay with the factory ROM. Maybe it's an issue that will be fixed any time soon?

Why do you ask for advice if you just want to "wait for it to get fixed"?
If you've done a factory reset already, it's not a hassle re-flashing the factory ROM (since you already have your data backed up).
Fwiw, the guy with the proximity sensor issue also had it sometimes work and other times not, much like your issue
