Phone stuck on blue square with time and date taking up half of screen - General Questions and Answers

Occasionally, when I turn on my screen, the phone is stuck on a screen with a blue square taking up the top half of the screen, showing the time and date, with a clock icon. The bottom half of the screen is black. The phone is completely unresponsive to touch, and the only solution is to remove the battery and reboot.
Galaxy S5, running Lineage 14.1 (Android 7.1.2).
Does anyone have any idea what this is?
TIA!!

Post this in the thread where you got the ROM, that is what the thread is for.

Sure, ROM downloaded from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...m-cyanogenmod-14-0-galaxy-s5-android-t3476433 and this link: https://download.lineageos.org/klte
The file is lineage-14.1-20170719-nightly-klte-signed.zip.

I didn't ask where you got it, I said for you to take your question/issue and go to that thread and post your question/issue there.

I had the same problem. What you see is the smart cover screen. It can be solved too. Go to your phone setting:
- Settings
- Connected Devices
- Smart cover
- Off

Thank you Erik-Jan!
It did work for me!
@Droidriven:
It is not dependent on that ROM, I have a different phone and Android P

[REQ/IDEA] Secure Lockscreen

Hey guys, i got an idea for an interested dev. I dont have a android phone yet, but I've been lurkin around here for a while and have learned a lot from all you guys.
Now, i for one know people who go through others phones. Needless to say, it is annoying. I have an idea to con these guys out of there snooping.
Its a lock screen app that implicates both that we know already, the standard bar swiping one

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and the combo one
I was thinking maybe we could get an app that let you swipe the bar, like if it was going to open it, but then act like if nothing happened. To actually unlock it, you would put the combo in invisibly, either by swiping through specific sectors, as if the screen were a grid.
This is my idea to you devs for a safer phone.
I like this idea. Would be a good April fools trick too.

hahaaha, i know right. just hope a dev is willing to do it.
Can't imagine it would be that hard since both items are already built.

Hmm well on cyanogenmod you can just hide the "dots" on the Pattern-lock. I use it currently. My current background is black, so that's why it's all black. It's just an extra security measure. Anyone without an android phone wouldn't really know what to do considering it doesn't even show the "Incorrect pattern" message (which you can turn on or off).
Note that this is the normal pattern lock with just everything hidden (except for the cyanogenmod message at the top, which can be turned off/changed to something else.) There's no slide-unlock then pattern-unlock, just pattern-unlock.

Galaxy Note Edge's random graphic glitch.

Hi, I'm having a strange problem.
My Galaxy Note Edge's randomly having a graphic glitch, the color on screen becomes less color depth.
Like this;
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It will cease glitching after a simple reboot, but happens again totally random.
Is there any case like this, if not I think I should send it on warranty.
Info:
Model SM-N915F
Android 6.0.1
Thank you in advance.
Same problem, it gets stuck for a few seconds & does not respond and it boots to the lpck screen and i have to input password. Dont know what causes it but it started happening after the marshmallow update.

Relieved to know that I'm not only one with this, thanks elfeo0!
My situation is very similar to you, this happen after marshmallow update.
I'm hoping it could be fix by Factory Reset once, have to back up my phone first so I'll report back after that.

How can I remove the dark circle in bottom-left?

My phone is HTC Sensation z710e (HTC__M27). Its have is a strange issue.
I had been tried ivanich's new custom ROMs. Also the firmwares in htc.vi8.info , too. I can't remember fix time; suddenly began to appear a special mark in bottom-left of screen(dark circle with red outline/halo). Included all modes; Bootloader and Recovery and main system. Whatever I did, the symbol can't removed(Even if Original stock ROM, all firmwares, "Relocked" and "Unlocked" mode, too).
How can I remove this watermark? Can you help me? I would love to.
P.S.: I just tried to send example screenshots. Unfortunately I'm new user; the forum system allows external links after 10-post.

Mine had this too, after some work a dark circle suddenly started appearing on the screen and I tried everything (putting the phone in the freezer, even changed the motherboard since I had two of these.) but nothing fixed it, I think you should replace the screen. And I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM you just installed, It has to do with the hardware.
btw mine looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thank you for your reply and info.
Me too. Exactly same amblem despite its position different.
I tried "Dead Pixels Test and Fix" app and many ROMs. No change. As you said, this issue releated hardware. I will send it to technical service. If there is no fix, I keep to use it with the dark spot amblem.

Display full screen picture on AOD

Hi All,
I got my S8+ couple weeks ago and I am still try to figure everything out. After all, this is a totally different beast compare to my old Samsung Note2 (but still come with loads of bloatware...).
I was able to put my son's picture on Always On Display, but, for me, it's kind of small. Is there a way to display it with the full screen or even the half of the screen will be nice?
nope
Not worried about screen burn-in?

Look mate i have a galaxy s7 edge with AOD since release. I opt for a pretty low backlight lightening. And i never ever hade a problem with burn in. Same goes with the s8+ or normal s8. Keep the backlight on a normal level and dont be worried.

You can use apktool to decompile /recompile : you need to edit values.xml change the first '400dip' to '650dip', then drag your own images into xxxDrawable, and finally edit the smali AODposition data change all iget for mCurY to mCurX. Once recompiled, drag old apk metaINFO, SECinf and androidmanifest from the open archive into the new archive (just open apks with winzip)
