Couple of Bugs? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

Just got my Note 8 (QJA) and I noticed a few bugs and wondering if anyone else noticed. First one is the Auto Rotate quick toggle has no animation. For some reason that drives me crazy! The other bug I noticed is the WiFi Calling. Everythig about the WiFi Calling on my device is bugged out! Hopefully an update will correct. :fingers-crossed:

So are you saying your device does not experience these bugs? Are you on Baseband/Buildl QJA?

What I am saying is that many had to perform factory reset on new note 8 regardless of builds...AQH7, AQI5, BQJA, and there will be those with the new BQK1 and 2 because of factory build issues....many times even updates cause issues that require a factory reset...it is not build dependent...every device is like this...

Chromecast issues

Has anyone else experienced issues using a chromecast with their honor 8?
It used to consistently work flawlessly with my Galaxy S5, but since I've switched casting has been very buggy.
Finding the chromecast is usualy the first issue, half the time when I go to cast no devices show up.
Mostly frustrating is after something is casting I lose volume control when I am outside that specific all. Before I could toggle the volume on my TV from any screen and it showed the slider along with the phone media and ringer volume. It also seems to disconnect from the chromecast quite a bit as well. Sometimes ending the cast, but usually I'll have to close the app and reconnect in order to be able to control it again.
I've tried factory resetting my chromecast and never used guest mode, not sure what's causing the problems.
Anyone know of any possible solutions?
I have been having the same issues.
Phone just can't see the chrome cast.
Would be good if anyone has any solutions ??

I have posted a question on the UK Honor Google+ board
See what they say.
I can't even get BBC iPlayer to cast so there is definitely some thing wrong.
Now TV just released an update that was ment to deal with the casting bug but still no casting !!
Hey guy's,
I will have my Chromecast back soon so ill do my best to figure out what the problem is.

Yes mate it must be.
My phone is like a new phone today after resetting it.
All the bits that were not working are working again.
I'll try this week-end.
It's so long to reinstall and login in every app...

I made a back up before resetting, put it into my SD card.
From resetting to having everything back on took me about 30 mins it was easy and well worth the effort

you were totally right
everything is back to normal after a factory reset
and it didn't took too much time.
backed up apps with the honor software and it wasn't that long. just the apps not the settings to be sure to not recreate the problem if it was caused by another app.
thanks a lot.
i'll inform some guys in the french forum that had the same probelm
good "casting" to you all

Does your volume control work as it should now?
I'm still having issues controlling volume from outside the app that is casting after a factory reset.

OP6 Android P dev 3

Hey guys I was wondering if anybody is having any issues with the OnePlus 6 running Android P Dev 3 with sending and receiving phone calls SMS and MMS?
No DP3 is very solid for me!
So far it has been very smooth for me as well. The other day I was having issues with sending an MMS and it was because I didn't have all the permissions set.

A few people on this thread have commented here and there that they've dirty flashed without any issues. For me, I've been experiencing inconsistent battery drain although it seems like it's settling down somewhat after about a week of use. I've also gotten a couple of crash dumps.

Dirty flash here and running good. This is my second install though, both dirty flash over 5.1.9. this first time I was having some connection issues so I rolled back. Then I got bored and decided to try it again, and no issues so far this time. :good:
Can anyone confirm how safe it is to update will it be safe to use it as a daily driver?

Thanks for feedback. I may take the jump today.
Yeah so far this rom is pretty smooth no major issues. A few app crashes here and there but it's probably because the apps haven't been updated yet to run with Android 9.
I dirty flashed then did a factory reset.
Any body else have a persistent carat symbol on the OnePlus Launcher? Can't get it off no matter what I do.

Should only be there on your home screens to show that you slide up for all apps list. Definitely shouldn't be there on the dock. Did you try clearing cache in recovery? Are you completely stock on the P beta, or are you using other mods/changes to the system?

Completely stock. There are actually 2 carats on the home screen, a bigger one and the small one seen in the screenshots.
Doesn't effect performance, just annoying.
Have cleared cache from recovery and on just about every system app that it will allow me to clear it. Can't downgrade the launcher unfortunately.
My OCD won't allow me to look past it lol

Delay when pressing notifications

Hello guys, I recently got my new Oneplus 8T, and, whilst the device is amazing from what I could use it, it has an annoying flaw that I couldn´t find any information of.
When I press a whatsapp, telegram, etc notification, there´s a bit of delay inbetween the press and the start of the app opening. The phone does it the majority of times, as you can see in the video below (at the 10 second mark it opens it right):
Do you have an idea on what could be causing this? Does any of you have the same issue I do? I tried turning off everything related to battery saving, even factory reseting. Any help is much appreciated, thank you in advance!

I've come across some people with this specific flaw, I contacted Oneplus and they told me to factory reset the phone and if that didn't help (which did not, since I've gone wayy further with it, installing HydrogenOS and older versions of OxygenOS and didn't solve the issue), it "might" be a software issue and it "might" be solved in the next software update.
For how much have you been with the phone?
What is bugging me is that this problem is too specific for it to be a hardware issue.

Yes, I still have my Oneplus 7 Pro and it works flawlessly. I think I found something crucial.
The problem lays whitin the "Notifications" apartment. I'll explain myself.
As you can see in this new video I recorded
that weird delay shows when I open a notification coming from the tab "Notifications". BUT, when I open the SAME APP (Play Store) from a notification coming from "Other notifications" there's no delay at all, the phone works flawlessly, see how I press to see how my download is going, there's no lag. It would be wonderful if you could try it yourself, and see if that's the case on you unit too.
Taking this into account, I'm almost 100% sure this is a software related problem, and has nothing to do with hardware, probably a bug.
I'll report it to the bug reporting section of Oneplus and see if they can work on it.

No, I coulnd't. But I confirmed it to be a software related problem. I flashed LineageOS and PixelExperience ROM and the phone worked flawlessly. So we might have to wait for Oneplus to fix the problem in next OTA.

The latest OTA kinda did something for me. I get the delay 5 out of 10 times I press a notification. Used to be 9 out of 10 times lol. It's not completely fixed but it's an improvement. What I did was send a bug report to the Oneplus bug reporting site and they said that they will be working on it.

Already tried removing and re registering the fingerprints,no luck.

Yep same here. If I wake the screen first it's fine (ie as before the update), but now it takes maybe a second to display the screen. Someone posted on Reddit too, but nothing on the issue tracker- hope this can be fixed
I guess i will wait a few days, hopefully the issue get fixed, dont really feel like doing yet another factory reset
Same is happening here.
Anyone else notice the new animation when exiting out of an app? it sucks lol.
Seems like turning AOD on is fixing the delay. Not perfect but works
Same slow here
Also have the same problem too. Wish I didn't install the update now
Yeah, same problem on pixel 4a 5g.
Same here, also my battery life is bad and I'm not heavy user. I have 6h sot.
Did a clean install, and still a delay.

exactly ... same with the missing alarm clock icon in notification bar when an alarm has been set
Same thing on aprils update , how annoying. It really ruining the feel of the phone.Google really need to step up for bug patching and broken updates
Still the same issue with the build of May ... also, the alarm clock icon is still missing in the notification bar when an alarm has been set. That kinda sucks ...

Question Faulty internet connection [Exynos]

Hello everyone,
I have an S22 Ultra updated to the latest firmware AVF5.
I am having an internet issue where every time I don't have Wi-Fi and turn on the screen internet will work for 40-60 seconds then stop working completely until I turn off and back on the mobile data.
In this time frame the phone has maximum reception and the '+' sign disappears from 4g+ icon.
Does anyone else have the same issue and know how to solve it?
Still haven't tried a factory backup.
Thank you!
You reset the network connection?
Clear system cache.
A lot of people are recommending to clear the partition's cache to solve various issues, have you already gave it a try?
Edit: Seems like @blackhawk got the same idea a few seconds ahead of me.
Thank you for the quick reply! You mean "Wipe Cache partition" in recovery mode?

You're welcome, let's hope it will be enough. I'm a little skeptical about considering it as the panacea, but it doesn't hurt to give it a try (it was reported to help for scrolling stuttering and other various things).

It never hurts to try it... unless you punch factory reset by mistake
I've seen it clear some bizarre problems like magic. After an update it's good to do out of habit. I clear mine about once a month, routine maintenance.
If those fail, ask your carrier to reset the connection on their end. Reboot.
No connection drops till now!
Unfortunately that didn't work... Any other ideas before a factory reset?

When it happens see if it shows at the top of the list in Device Care >memory, clear all apps.
If it happens soon after you cleared cache apps it makes it easy to spot if it shows here. I've found some nasty little buggers like this.
I would -really- try to find the root cause rather than do a reset. A factory reset may not correct it and even if it does, if it reoccurs... you're right back where you started.
This is one reason I don't update. Malware is less trouble to deal with
