Keyboard typing not recognized by apps in OOS - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi - I am running OOS 10.3.1 on my OP7P. I am currently using the GBoard keyboard, and I have also used SwiftKey.
I have been experiencing a problem where I go into an app, start typing on the keyboard (say, entering a search in the browser or replying to a text message), but the keys are not being recognized in the app. If I switch to another app, the keyboard typing is recognized again. The keyboard typing is also recognized again when I switch back to the application that didn't recognize the keys a moment before.
This problem occurred with GBoard and SwiftKey, so it looks like it is an OOS issue - not keyboard related.
This seems to occur most frequently when bringing the phone out of sleep, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
I have been seeing this problem for over a month now, and some of my friends with OP phones have seen this as well.
Has this keyboard issue been previously identified?
¿GJ?

Has anybody else seen/debugged this problem?
I have seen this keyboard problem referenced by other users on Reddit, so I know that I'm not the only one having this issue.
¿GJ?

That happens to me randomly, mostly when I'm typing something on a site in any web browser. I still haven't figured out why it happens.

Happend to me randomly in messenger apps and in-game chats as well.
I am using fleksy keyboard.

This happens to Ice Bear when an app is open in the foreground and then locking the OnePlus 7 Pro for a few minutes. If Ice Bear recalls, this has happened since OOS 9.

I may have found a potential solution, which was posted here on Reddit.
For the TL;DR crowd, set up an ADB session to your OP phone, and type this: adb shell settings put global policy_control null*
Apparently, there could be an issue on our phones with immersive mode combined with gesture navigation, which this command is supposed to fix.
I can say that I haven't seen the keyboard typing problem reoccur since I sent this command to my OP7. I will keep y'all informed on how this works for me long-term.

Ah..so immersive mode and gestures combined causes the issue. Ice Bear will also give the solution a shot and will report back in a week.
Edit: For anyone wanting to execute the ADB command from their OnePlus 7 Pro, use any terminal app. Grant root with: su
After, type: settings put global policy_control null

Oh, yeah - I forgot to mention root is required to execute this command.

Update: I haven't seen this issue reoccur at all since I made the patch.

Possible Temporary Solution For Notifications Delay ! - No Root Needed

Hi! I own a Mate 8 and like many others, have this big problem with notifications, especially with emails.
After having tried several firmwares, nothing has changed.
True, the phone has a large autonomy, but .... Who wants a device that lasts 48 hours on, if not fulfill its basic mission?
This I discovered, is not my discovery.
I think I have read all the threads in XDA concerning the issue, and I see that we are all lost in the fog.
Someone (I apologize because I do not remember the thread, or the owner) suggested that with a simple adb command, you could disable Doze, and then, all notifications would arrive immediately.
And it is true !
It is true, though not a definitive solution, because when you turn off the device, the solution is again lose ....
But consider that the method is super simple, and I see it as a possible solution until some brilliant mind, the kind that many see in this forum, to develop an app that automatically run at startup, and not to depend on a PC every time you start the phone.
I would like someone else try this, I've done in my device (AL-10 firmware version B168), and is a radical change in functionality.
I work in sales online, and for me it is vital receive emails instantly.
The steps are simple and absolutely reversible:
NO NEED TO BE ROOT FOR THIS
1- Android SDK installed on the PC
2-Enable "USB debugging" in developer Options
2- Connect the device to the PC with the screen off (I'm not sure if relevant)
3- Go to the installation folder of Android sdk, and then enter in the "Platform tools"
4- Button Shift + right mouse button, and then click on: "open command window here"
5- write "adb devices" to verify that the phone has been detected
6- if it has been detected (the serial number of the device should appear on the command screen), and then, write this new command:
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
...then, enter.
Should appear a response such as "idle mode disable" as confirmation.
This command turn off Doze, so the device is "always on alert".
The theory indicates that autonomy should now be affected markedly...
But in my experience it is not so.
As I said, it is a temporary patch... When you turn off the device and turn it on again, these changes are lost (Which also makes reversible)
Maybe someone here, can give us some glimmer of hope with an app that simply run this command automatically (do not know if it is possible without root).
All I can say, based on my experience, is that this works perfectly and do not depend on updates from Huawei ... wich probably never come.
In my case, I never turn off the device except in very unusual conditions. It may depend on this temporary solution until someone give us a hand!
i tryed this solution ( my mate rooted) and app tasker but issues not solved... i don't know why...

My Mate is not root, is a NXT-AL10 untouched, 4Gb ram version, and at least in my case, this patch is perfectly functional.
I have tried several times in an attempt to get it to work after restarting the phone, and that is why I can assure you it works, at least in mine (if not turn off the phone) ..
By the way, just I discovered that if I write:
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle
all applications that Doze have in the whitelist, shown on the screen of the PC.
Perhaps some expert knows how to use this information specific to this model.
i tryed many times, but after 30 minutes all notidication are stopped. whatsapp is in white list, but issues not solved.
I've been running my phone for about a week with the dumpsys command and can confirm it's resolved all of my notification issues and I still get 2 days battery life with a fair amount of us. I've not noticed additional battery drain running this command.
I'm the one who found it, by simply analyzing how Doze worked on the phone.
It would be possible to make an app that automatically runs the command upon startup, of course.
You could use something like this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androguide.universal.init.d&hl=en
But root is necessary to adjust the settings unless you plug in a computer with ADB.
I don't have the phone working anymore (it's bricked) so I can't do much, sorry.
This solution don't work in my case. After a few hours, notifications fail. The only way to get notifications is restart the phone.

exactly, same problem for me
I seen someone install greenify and using the app setting white list to avoid the doze issue. Anyone can confirm? No root needed
What helped for me was going into Apps, then Advanced, then Ignore Battery Optimizations and select the apps you want. They will stay open and you should get notifications.
Do you think there is any possibility to execute the command from the phone itself?
Thx

This is oneof the first steps we all have done.... Nothing the problem still there....and i cant imagine that there is someone with mate 8 that his device hasn't this problem....the most of them just hasn't notice... If you dont use mail app and exchange then is possible not to notice that the notification isn't coming to time
PNF doesn't help?

Nav bar stuck on in full screen apps

Ok, guys, I tried searching through the forums and I'm not seeing a thread related directly to this so here goes.
Last night my daughter had my phone and now when I'm in full-screen apps, (specifically I play summoners war) the nav bar won't auto minimize like it should. It's pretty annoying since it covers up my skills and nothing I can really do. There has to be a specific option I can't find but in settings>display, there is no navigation section. I am running totally stock pixel, no root. android 8.1.0. I don't want to get into any command line prompts because this had to have happened without it, so I hope someone can help me out here.
Not sure what could be, but if in adb you type "settings put global policy_control immersive.full=" (yes, with nothing after the "=") it will reset any kind of modifications made on navbar/statusbar immersive settings, reverting back to stock.
I know you asked a solution without commands, but since I don't know what could be the cause I don't have specific ideas. So if you want, give it a try.

Push notifications

The phone stopped getting push notifications until after the app is opened (groupme). Any way to fix that?
No one else had experienced this? It's really bad. No notifications from group messaging apps

Go to settings, battery, battery optimization and ensure your concerned app is showing you "don't optimize".
Try this and lemme know
I did that already. I searched and saw that that was supposed to be the solution.....but not working for me
In the same settings there is an advanced optimise (top right ... Button)
Make sure that's not ON

Getting delayed notifications too. Particularly with WhatsApp. Can't work it out.

this device faces network drops, often not recognized if an app wouldn't show an alert like FB messenger.
these drops are mostly responsible for missed pus messages because the device is not ready at the moment the push happens and it will not be repeated every few seconds (delay)
even worse if one is using several devices, of which one is i.e. at home and the other on the road. while a the working device will receive the push notification the OP6 would not ( you can check for network drops where it shows the IP number, it happens on wifi as well as data and both wifi frequencies BTW.)
so in the last case the message will never arrive because it's delivered, (to the working device at home) and hence no more push attempt will happen until next message arrives.
i and others posted this in OP support, as mentioned above, open you network settings and watch the IP number, it will disappar and re-appear.
also you can use FB messenger where you will frequently see an orange bar saying "connectin" intermittently with a green bar saying "connected"
of course i dunno if that happens on EVERY device but at least it happens on MANY including mine.
since i'm always having 2 phones on man i'm receiving all mails and messages on at least on of the two which also illustrates quite well how often a push will reach one of my various other devices but miss the OP6.
Go to OP support and report the issue if you face it, that way they get aware of the full scale of the issue.
Yep, notifications are patchy for me. Sometimes they arrive on time, other times they arrive but silently without triggering the alert sound. Other times they only arrive after waking the phone up.
And yes, I've set to not optimise these apps and turned off advanced optimisation. It's a bug I reckon, hopefully fixed in 5.1.6
Well, somehow it's working...for now. I did a few things. I updated the Groupme app. I think I changed the notifications from urgent to high. Something worked

Yeah I've mine set to urgent also, but no real difference. Simple things at this stage for a company like Oneplus, that should not be an issue
I've been having the same issue. Some apps work fine and some don't give me notifications until I actually open the app and refresh it. One is Power Facebook and the other is my visual voicemail app. It's highly annoying as I use the phone for business too. Disabling then in battery optimizations does nothing.
If you have advanced optimization turned on in Battery settings, it will prevent a lot of apps that need to do things in the background from working. It will definitely affect push notifications. I have it on but I've exempted a bunch of apps I want running.
Oops, n/m, see this was discussed already.
I'm not sure if it was switching the notification from urgent to high that did it but it was the last thing I did before it started working....it did go back to urgent by itself afterwards though...notifications still working now
..guys any other facing this issue? Even after update to pie stable recently.. I get this problem, notifications arrive to every other device except op6. When i unlock the phone only then notification arrives...all battery optimizations are off..
any solutions?
I got the same issue with Threema. None of the mentioned settings worked for me.
Any ideas?
Same problem for me. Super annoying. Is this an oxygen os or android problem? Would installing a custom ROM help?
It's the DOZE feature in android that is causing the delay in receiving notifications. Setting an app to "Don't Optimize" does not help; this used to work on nougat when I was using HTC U11 but this does not work in Oneplus 6 PIE.
Run the command below in ADB to completely disable DOZE.
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
The down side is that it will reset to "enable" after reboot so you will need to run the command, again, after rebooting. To get around this, I use Automagic to execute command "dumpsys deviceidle disable" after reboot. You can use Tasker for this, too.
After disabling DOZE, push notifications are received almost immediately. I often see notification for the same message on both my PC and phone.

System wide immersive mode possible on Android 11

Currently using Android 11 beta and it's brilliant, only problem I can find is I can't set a system wide immersive mode and I'm worried about screen burn, just wondered if anyone has found a way to activate immersive mode. ADB commands don't seem to work.

Unfortunately as of this writing there's no solution to this. I am considering switching to iOS if my phone will no longer allow me the choice to hide the navbar. Samsung allows this. I don't understand why Google can't give a simple option in settings. This problem needs more attention. Here are links discussing this issue:

How To Guide Found a way to fix MIUI dark mode problems!!! (Without ROOT)

I'm using a poco x3 pro so i decided to post it here but it should work with all the miui devices so hope other people can find it as well...
here's the problem i had:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DBZDokkanBattle/comments/pe4q54
forced-dark was making some text invisible in my favorite game. and that game was not listed under the "individual apps" section.
i searched for a fix and i only found other peoples' complaints about the same issue, i just bought this phone 5 days ago and it's a relatively new model so i thought it was a device specific bug and i was expecting a fix but i see complaints from months ago... some people were able to fix it with a root but i don't wanna root my main device.
anyways, here's the fix, just enable usb debugging and type this command:
Code:
adb shell setprop debug.hwui.force_dark false
that's all...
if you switch between light and dark mode or reboot your device you have to repeat this.
this will disable forcing dark mode on all the apps.
i really hate that this is possible but xiaomi just doesn't let us choose this option via user interface..
