Widgets freeze after Oreo 8.0 update - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

I got the Oreo update a couple of days ago on my S7.
Now all my widgets freeze up on me. I removed battery optimization on them and battery monitoring, and they still freeze. The only way the unfreeze is if I rotate the phone sideways and then back to vertical. It's like the widgets are not redrawing on the screen when they update(ie Beautiful Widgets clock).
Anyone else have this issue? I'm all out of ideas on how to fix. I spent $750.00 on this phone 2 1/2 years ago and feel really wronged.

I have an Oreo installed last night on my att s7 as using tmobile firmware from OTA and i dont see any issue with widgets but they are static widget (i dont have any animation widget).. Try restart phone?

[Q] Lock Screen Lag

I updated to the latest version of the Mango beta (7712 i think) the other day and now whenever I turn on the screen it takes about half a second for the clock and date etc to appear. Anyone else have this issue or a solution?
A lot of people are noticing that behavior.
I think it's a bug.. but it doesn't happen all the time to me.
It's amazing how annoying just a little bit of lag is in this OS, isn't it?
Good to know im not alone. Ill put up with it as this is a beta. Everything else works perfectly
When I first "upgraded" from last month's mango to this months updated version, I noticed this too, but I also noticed that the homescreen "flash" was gone, which for me was a very acceptable trade off. I reset my phone to get my twitter and linkedin contacts to load, and since then my screen has reverted to the old form; that is, flashes the homescreen for a second before going to the lockscreen. Awful.
I thought that was just the new behaviour
It was one of the first thing I noticed after updating. I didn't think it was a bug, I just thought for some reason that was the new behaviour.
It definitely doesn't look as clean as the old way.
Yeah, I wasnt sure if it was a bug or a new feature as it seems to fade in after about half a second kind of like a transition effect.
Whatever it is I much prefered it the way it was before this second update as like people have said it just looks like really bad lag.
Mine seems to have sorted itself out. All ive done is turn it off for the night. Couldnt hurt to give it a go if its annoying you

it used to happen to me quite often when i was on 7712. Doesn't happen anymore on mango.. but there's still a buggy animation sometimes when i unlock too quickly, appears as a repeated top 1/4 of the lockscreen i think
i don't know why, but it's still happening. i tried to power of and on, but it didn't help. i don't want to do a hard reset. it seems that the problem is gone if the music is playing (when the mini player is displayed in lockscreen).
so, i figured out, when that locksreen lag is happening. if you have mini player shown, when you press volume buttons, that means there will be no lockscreen lag, and everything will be like it should.
but, if you go and play a video, and then go back to homescreen, there will be no mini player shown, when you press the volume button, and if you then turn off the screen, and then on again, the clock and calendar will display with some lag (about half a second). this will continue to happen until the next time you run audio player. then, if there is mini player in the dropdown volume menu, there will be no more lag in the lockscreen.
please, try this and see if this will happen to you too. i know it's a small bug, but it's really annoying!

Lock screen clock lag

I am not talking about "lag" in the traditional sense of how the term is used around here (choppy animations).
But starting with every ICS ROM I've tried, when I turn on my lock screen after a while of having the screen completely off, the clock always shows a number which is 3 or 4 minutes behind, and quickly updates it to the correct time in less than a second. I last saw this on a POS Moment running hacked Froyo. My NS4G with Gingerbread never had this problem.
Any ideas?
This seems somehow related to my Beautiful Widgets SuperClock widget. When I remove that widget the problem goes away. That doesn't make sense though since I used that exact same widget on Gingerbread. :-(

S6 won't rotate screen - suggestions?

Trying to avoid a reset but I'm all out of ideas.
-woke up today, screen wont rotate
-Using nova launcher, home screens are enabled to rotate but don't. Neither does messages or browser
-disabled nova launcher, messages/browser/everything else still doesnt rotate
-when i turn on the camera, the icons rotate when i flip it
-did a gyro self test with *#0*#, it passed
I don't know what to do, ideas?
*edit*
-x, y, and z axis all change [from what i can see] properly as i move phone in the *#0*# > sensor test
-downloaded a rolling ball game/app to see if it functioned, it works fine
I have no clue wahts going on. I saw people asking if "screen rotation is enabled" to other people on google, but I don't know of any screen rotation option short of whats in the nova launcher im using [which wouldn't effect webbrowser/etc]
I started a thread about this a few days ago. My will get "stuck" in landscape. It takes a few mins for it to go back. Not sure what is up.

Mines been stuck for about 3 hours now that I'm aware of (but I didn't use it for the last 9 hours). I also know I had a burst of like 30 messages come in from the same person all at once before noticing this issue, I thought their cell service just lagged and shot it all out when it came back online, but I'm starting to wonder if it was my phone doing something weird
Same issues randomly started for me last night as well. From everything I've read there's no definite answer yet. So frustrating.

Anybody else having issues with the new Android 11 update?

UI transitions, pulling down the notifications or pulling up the app drawer seems laggy/slow frame rate.
Battery drain: the battery used to last at the very least 48h. Now I'm recharging it every 24/28h
Factory reset didn't solve anything for me.
laggy here too. Good info, now I know Factory reset it's useless.
Other issue I have:
some app don't use anymore or not properly border / edge.
I think downgrade to Android 10.
Haven't got it yet, in the US.
Same lagging in Android 11 on Edge.
I also have Edge+, on Edge+ no change.
Went back to Android 10...

I found a solution, I'll post it later. Battery is ok for me.
This works for me:
Go to Developer options and disable "Enable blurs". That option provides a blur on the screen, for example, behind the notification panel when we slide it.
You need to perform a reboot. After rebooting, all animations and transitions work fine. Let me know if it is useful.
Related with this: When "Enable blur" is enabled and you are broadcasting screen, you will notice a problem in vertical mode. Try swiping the notification bar... can you see how the resolution expands on the TV? I'm sure that's related to the lag.

Yes, I noticed that. I don't think it's an issue... it's a motorola decision.

It can be a motorola decision have border screens and dont be used properly, some apps dont use the edges now and i see my backscreen wallpepare in the sides when im using spotify. Is horrible and it shouldnt be like that!
I have the same problems as you guys and also now i have to wait half of a second to start recording an audio on whatsapp or instagram, and before the update it was perfect.... Does someone know how to do a downgrade?
I updated my Moto Edge 5g 6days ago, and changed the Blur option as advised by Cruban and my phone is working fine.
The battery seems the same as it was before and i don't have any issues with the non edge apps and the wallpaper.
For me too at first!
After disable turn off "Enable blur" and restart the phone , everything's work fine
I have receive new update today
RPD31.Q4U-39-26-14
fixed
- Laggy performance on the home screen
- Edge Display (or lack thereof for most apps on Android 11).

Verizon: Recent update has caused my Note20 to randomly do a half a** reboot

On latest update build # SP1A.210812.016.N986U1UES2EULI which was installed on Jan 28th. Ever since then, my phone has done a half a** restart on itself randomly about twice a day where screen goes black, i see Samsung logo and then at my lock screen in under 15 sec.
Anyone else noticing this by chance? anyway i can tshoot this myself in logs somewhere? I am using Niagra Pro launcher instead of One UI 4.0.
