I'm very surprised that no one else mentioned this problem. As to me, it's a greatest bug of this phone.
Look at the Developer options - Screen lock.
It becomes gray after a couple days of use.
I tried factory reset, changed region and firmware several times, but the result is the same - two or three days, and this switch becomes unreacheable again.
Maybe someone knows how to make it working again?
As in, even after a full reset you can't disable screen lock? or you're resetting, and then after using your phone for a couple days you notice you can't turn it off?
After resetting screen lock is active, and becomes inactive after a couple of days of using.
And I can't find out what app or setting causes this trouble.
Once I had only three apps installed and noticed the same grayed item after a couple of days.
Hext time I checked screen lock just after installing these 3 apps - it was active, so they were not responsible for this.
But it became inactive after installing all the rest apps.

has anyone run across this issue when you set a specific time out, the screen dims after the specified time but does not lock, it stays on?
my phone was working just fine, stock not rooted, took the latest update and after that i've been having nothing but weird issues, the other day the notification area at the top was not working, i had to basically check every app, messages etc manually to see updates, had to factory reset the damn thing, now this screen issue, the phones is only 1 month old.
any input?
thanks
I'm having very weird issues with screen lock. I'm be on the phone and the device will randomly lock and not let me unlock it without restarting the phone.
The new update is when it all started. I don't want to do a factory reset, but it's looking like I might have to?
So, my phone reset itself after a freeze and I did a hard restart. On bootup, it went into recovery and did a factory reset. Once I got everything set back up I noticed when I pick up my phone it makes me use my pattern lock rather than the fingerprints I set up. It does it constantly, unlike what the security protocol says (after 24 hours of not being used). Any ideas?
I may have it figured out. I'll update for sure, but I had AC Display installed and it seems to be cooperating now that I've uninstalled. I'll update at the end of the day to be sure
Hi. I've had this happen to me now on 2 Seperate occasions (Notification Settings Missing/Disappeared). The first was right after a factory reset, which I had to do a few times till it came back. The next time was today. In the notification area of the settings, if you go to the advanced area, I no line have the option or choice to SHOW CONTENT ON LOCK SCREEN.
For the life of me I can't figure out how to get it back or even why it's gone. I've restarted many times now, even in days mode. I've cleared the cache (in Boot Rom).
Anyone else have this issue or is what's going on here?
Attaching screen shot of what I'm taking about.
It's sort of laggy, when I want to tap on an app to open it, for example, it takes a few taps or sometimes just doesn't work at all.
The problem doesn't seem to be only on one area of the screen though, the whole screen has the same problem.
Haven't installed any recent updates or anything, in case that could be a cause of the problem. I've tried restarting the phone a few times and also wiping the screen but it hasn't worked.
I've also tried using the optimise and clean up options in the Phone Manager, but they haven't improved anything...
The screen was working like normal just this morning, but then around late afternoon the problem started.
I haven't installed a custom ROM or any other major modifications like that, by the way. The phone is pretty much the same as it was since I bought it. EMUI v8.0 and Android Oreo.
Try a factory reset?
Hi All,
I've had the phone about 8 months, UK model.
About 2 months ago, when scrolling in Wikipedia pages on Chrome browser, the display would alternate between normal and blue light (eye comfort). It still does occasionally.
From a few weeks ago, the keyboard sometimes take about 10s to appear.
A few days ago when on voice call from the phone other person can't hear me but I can them while voice call on Whatsapp is fine both ways. Restarting phone seems to solved it for now.
Then yesterday while trying to access settings from either the home screen or app drawer, it fails but you can see its attempting to as you see the settings screen momentarily then a message comes up saying settings failed to start several times and whether to restore by clearing history. Doing that doesn't work. The only way that I can is to touch and hold the settings icon till the search option comes up and then type the particular setting I want.
Before I do anything to fix this, are these symptoms an indication the phone is on the way to a complete breakdown? Would it be a software problem and I suppose the 1st step to fix is factory reset.
Has anyone experience this on their phone?

Unfortunately it's the Oppo software that causes these issues... We hope we can unlock the bootloader soon and flash custom roms to remedy these problems since Oppo are just incompetent.
Chrome colour shift is fixed by typing into your chrome address bar and type: "chrome://flags" then search "Dynamic Color Gamut" and set it to disabled (or it was enabled, I forget since I didn't have the issue myself)
Oppo uses the wrong microphone on third party apps like whatsapp, signal, instagram etc. and we have to wait for an update to fix that. (Issue has been posted here before)
The rest of the issues you described sound like some software instability caused by the Android 11 update. You should save your data and do a factory reset.
If the issues persist after the reset and you didn't install any dodgy apps or modified the software using adb then consider sending the phone in for repair.
OK thanks for replies. So factory reset then...
