Please provide more info such as what Rom version you are running and list of softwares installed. Both of these can affect this type of issue.

I just noticed this on my ELFIN. Same symptoms, very frustrating and I don't want to hard reset. What do I need to look for in NOTIFICATIONS??
Any help is appreciated.
After some further searching I found it may be a setting in Battery Status (which Im using). In fact the "Lock Device" option was checked. I have NO idea how that happened but am happy I finally figured it out.

Xperia Z5 Dual call issue

I'm using two sims in my Xperia Z5 dual, sometimes I cant pick calls when I receive them on Sim 1 which os Volte enabled, when I drag the green key nothing happens, cant even decline.. Both green and red keys which I need to drag to make action disappear!
I am battling with the same issue for some months now. Seem to happen only on marshmallow rom. Till now the issue is not solved. I have even tried with custom rom. Posting here did not help as i don't think many users are experiencing it.
The work around is to restart the phone, then you are able to get calls. Factory reset gets it to work for a while but eventually bugs. in the mean time when call screen freezes, swipe down the quick settings and click settings button, the you will get the small call incoming screen from where you will be able to pick up calls. The issue happens only on full screen incoming screen.
I read somewhere that people using CM MM rom are getting this issue when 'double tap to wake' feature is activated. On my phone this feature is always activated. So from yesterday i am testing with this feature turned off. So far did not get the issue.
Please try disable 'double tap to wake' from Settings > Display and check
Facing the issue even if double tap to unlock is off, I never keep it on actually so this is not the solution I guess! I don't know when will they update with a bug fix
I have this problem too.
Deactivating 'Double Tap to wake' does not solve the issue ;(
Any developers could help us with this issue?

Problem with the lock screen

Hi everyone,
Yesterday I got a new update from EMUI and I allowed it. But when the phone restarted I found a new lock screen, from the app "Smart". I hated it so I disable the app (I can't uninstall it).
Now when I turn on my screen the first thing that shows up is "enter pin" insted of my wallpaper lock screen, notifications and clock.
Please hepl me with this problem, usually I turn on my screen to check my notifications and the time.
MY phone has Android 7.0 and EMUI 5.0.1
Thanks.
Do you have fingerprint on? It forces the pin lockscreen. On and off randomly on mine since that update which I put off until 2 days ago.
But if you disabled it can't you re enable it? One way would be a factory reset failing other methods like adb or app menu.

Sorry I forgot to mention that, I did the factory reset and wiped the cache. I've tried disable the finger print now, turned off then on with the power button but nothing. I tried too with the app menu but about the abd... I dont know about it.
i never heard of this nor did I ever encounter the issue, I don't think an app called "Smart" is by Huawei, I may be mistaken.
Pin and can't see notifications
I have The Same problem and I couldn't fix it..

Guys try disabling (if you're using it obviously) the smart lock feature from settings -> lock screen.

Fingerprint Issue

You must be on the P beta?
I had the same problem and had to factory reset.

Had the same issue on Android P DP3 for several days.
TL;DR: nothing helped, had to do factory reset.
Precise error was Fingerprint registration error, please try again after trying to add a new one.
I think it had something to do with that hard coded limit of five registered fingers not being property updated after removing one.
Tried everything. Deleted all remaining fingerprints, wiped device cache via recovery, cleared various app storage&cache (google play services etc.). Nothing helped.
Neat trick to find out if it is the hardware problem is to create a guest account and try to add fingerprint there.
In my case that worked so I was 100% sure that factory reset would help.
If you have the same error and adding finger for guest account works I would suggest not to delete remaining fingerprints and continue using as is while waiting for Android P release and hoping this would be fixed there.
Isn't there a procedure for deleting the fingerprint/passcode files in twrp in case you restore a backup that has security? Maybe that would be useful...

Yes I had same issues with my Oneplus 6 dp3
I had little issues with my fingerprints so I tried to remove all fingerprints in my phone and add new fingerprints and I couldn't, it says "fingerprint registration error, please try later" I wiped cache. But didn't help but when I tried it in guest account it helped. But I can't use fingerprints anymore on my main user. So I did factory reset anyway since its not a hardware problem.
The issue is when we delete our fingerprints it's not actually deleting the fingerprints from the phone. There's some issues deleting the fingerprints from the phone
I found this by using "fingerprint quick action" application in play store
There's a option "work with enrolled fingerprints only" when this option is on only your registered fingerprint will work (as per security settings in my phone no fingerprint is registered)
But when I turn on this " work with enrolled fingerprints only" the fingers I register before deleting still works and my pinky finger (never registered that fingerprint in my Oneplus 6) and when I use that finger my phone vibrates ( meaning the fingerprint is not enrolled and the quick action won't work)
So the issue is the phone can't delete the fingerprint once registered
Sorry for my bad English. Hope you understand
Just wait for the next update which is comming out really soon and don't delete the fingerprints anymore till you get your update
I too had this issue on my Oneplus 6 Android Pie stock ROM (not beta) .
I resolved this by going into safe mode and registering my fingerprint.
Hold power button
Hold power off and then select safe mode
Register your fingerprints as you normally would
Reboot as normal
Did not need to clear cache or anything else.
Further fingerprint registration will need to be done in the same manner as above.

Did you solve this issue? If so, how? (I'm having the same problem, I'm not being able to register a single fingerprint).

Failed to Read App Data

Oneplus 7 pro after updating to android 12
It is showing failed to read app data and no apps are opening
Please help if anyone know
Backup not possible as not detecting via pc and format i cant do
Have the same problem, have you managed to fix it?
Hello! I made an account just to reply to this thread.
After spending 2 days trying everything short of a full MSM reset, the solution was even simpler:
- turn off your phone password/ passcode
Settings > Password and Security > Lock screen password
It seems no apps will work, but you can access the settings app by making sure the phone is in Airplane mode, then bringing down the notification shade and hitting the settings icon from there.
Please let us know if it works for you.

I have been having the same issue and turning off my password did not fix the issue. Any ideas on how I could backup my data before doing a factory reset?
