Hi, I have a Samsung s10 plus, i mainly use GBoard with swipe. I like having the clipboard in my shortcut icons but i am finding i add it and it stays in place for a while and i think on restarting my phone it always seems to reset and i have to add it again.
Is this right or is there a fix?
Thanks
James.
Mines the same way on Android 10, OnePlus7Pro. It's annoying but I have no idea what causes it or how to stop it

Hi did you ever fix this issue? It has to be a big doesn't it. I can't imagine it should keep resetting.

Well I did have to hard reset my phone and restore my stuff and so far it's not a problem now. But I wouldn't do that just to fix Gboard
Sent from my OnePlus7Pro using XDA Labs
Thanks for the reply. I wonder if just clearing the cache and data from Gboard would fix it? I haven't done that up to now because Gboard doesn't have a way to backup what it's learnt does it? So that's just put me off doing it.

I thought i would give clearing the data and cache a try and on my phone the icons are still resetting after a bit.
I really can't be bothered doing a full reset but i wish there was a way to fix this
My note 20 ultra is having an issue where certain times when I go back to home screen, the app I was on leaves a ghost image on the screen. Only way to seem to get rid of it is to reboot device. Have to do this once a day. Tried with Nova and One UI but no dice fixing without reboot.
See my screen shot. Is there another way to refresh your home screen a la Windows?

it's not a pop-up view? is it random behavior or did you have to follow certain steps in order for this to happen?

Did you set your phone up from scratch or did you transfer data from another phone. If you transferred from another phone there's been numerous post here about bugs and they were fixed with a FDR.
From the boot menu clear the Sytem Cache... this cures many glitches.
Find the app doing it and clear its cache and data if need be.
If that's the only issue with that load and nothing gets it done, disable the pop up notifications/overlay permissions for that app. Not sure how it's displayed in settings on Q.

No just going back to home screen from using an app triggers it sometimes

Problem is it's not just one app. The screen you see is the dialer. Also happened twice using Microsoft Teams

Could the MS apks be the root cause?
I don't use any of the MS apks, in fact they're all blocked.
If you do a hard reset and it comes back, you'll have gained nothing. Most times it's a settings issue or a misbehaving 3rd party app.
Have had the most trouble with 3rd party launchers. Best to avoid them as they can goof up a lot including boot up.
>Keep playing with it< and try some Google searches as others will many times have the same issues.
Try package blocking suspect apks and see if that ferrets it out. Use Device Manager to see what apps are loaded in the memory cache when it goes nuts.
I've used this to track down a nasty one, once I cleared the data on the right system apk all was good.
Best of all if it happens again, I know what to do.
A last resort before a hard reset is to do a setting reset however this is a global settings nuke.
Again, clear the system cache and then suspected apk caches however sometimes you'll need to clear their data as well. PD MDM is a better option to clear apk caches/data in as it leaves no nulls or something that clearing the same in settings DOES.
Sounds skewy but been there, done that.

Back up everything to Samsung cloud and do a FDR. If that doesn't fix the issue just restore and you're right back where you were.
There have been several reports of bugs on this forum and they were mostly due to restoring data from another phone.

Ok. I just did the memory clear someone suggested and I am waiting to see it happen again to see which apps are open when it happens again to do selective uninstalls. If it doesn't work I'll go FDR unfortunately

Hopefully it might fix it but you should never transfer data from your old phone to your new phone, it just causes problems. I've been doing this since 2009 and have learned the hard way.

3rd party launchers can put you in boot loop hell.
Had it happen twice in 2 weeks.
Was thinking it might be another app but on the 3rd reload I stayed with 1 UI...
2 months later still stable as a rock.
If a launcher is acting even a little slow or twitchy... ditch it.

I would have already stuck with one ui had it been a little more customizable. Lack of vertical scroll app drawer and 3rd party icons killed it for me

I don't like the bloody white icon labels...
1 UI is fast and the most stable. After seeing all manner of screw ups on 3rd pretty launchers and 2 back to back reloads... done.
Got rid of most of the bloody white except the page indicator. Samsung morons... even with only a home page it still shows, jeeeeezse!
Nothing in the Good Lock apps to remove them either.
Grrrrrrr....
Hi!
I’m facing a strange issue with my note 20 ultra s pen. I noticied that in some points of the screen, the pointer is kinda off position of the s pen, a few mm up or up right. This is very annoying. does anybody are facing the same issue? how can i correct that? already done the bascics.. reset spen, factory reset etc..

Clear system cache on the boot menu.
Try cal procedure again.
If no joy try in safe mode, make sure a 3rd party app isn't to blame.
Try a hard reboot.
Try clearing spen data. I'm not certain where the cal data is stored though but this is a start.
Revert the app to its factory version*.
Try broadening your Google searches for this issue on all Note models. Many times the same issues and solutions persist across OS's and hardware.
Try to avoid doing a factory reset and find the root cause otherwise it's likely to reoccur. Factory reset if after a week or two of troubleshooting doesn't get it. It's possible the OS was corrupted, occasionally installing or unistalling a poorly written app can cause issues by altering settings not normally accessible to the user.
*one reason I never do auto updates as they can and do break phones. By authorizing each update you can better track if the update was a benefit or a menace. Sometimes the factory load version is the best version

Nothing works.. Tried factory reset and even in the configuration screens the problem happens, so i think it's not a 3rd party app.. My phone came with a screen protector, i have a suspicion that it may causing the problem.. but i see it's not a common problem.. i'll buy another screen protector and when it arrives i'll test the phone without it, to see if it's the cause.

Hi! My s10+ has multi touch, touchscreen issue. When I tapping on screen with 5,4 fingers it is very lagging. What cause of it? Is there any solution? Please, help me!
Clear system cache.
Try in safe mode to rule out a 3rd party app causing it.
When/how did it start?
Was it dropped or exposed to water?
Could it be malware, rootkit, etc? Always keep this in the back of your mind with abnormal unexplained behavior. Factory reset if there's any doubt or if it can't be promptly removed completely.

It started since I bought it from second hand but I didn't noticed any touchscreen/multi touch issue. But it is OK for normal for Facebook, TikTok...etc because I scroll only one finger, so it is OK for normal use. For gaming (I play PUBG MOBILE) I use 4 finger. And touchscreen lags.

Those social apps aren't good... none of that junk ever runs on my devices.
After the factory reset was it doing it before you loaded or updated anything?
Did you use SmartSwitch?

If so manually load and configure everything after the next factory reset and do not use SmartSwitch.
It maybe a hardware issue but you need a clean load to rule out a software issue.
If the above fails reflash to the stock rom... if all that fails to solve the issue it's likely hardware.

Dear all, I'm wondering if anyone has the same problem that I have been facing since I got my S22 Ultra. The checkbox is always invisible after I selected something, and it affects every UI where there are checkboxes. This affects both the light and dark themes. Anyone has a solution?
That's File Manager?
They are actually selected though, right?
Does it happen in safe mode?
Try clearing the system cache.

Yes that's file manage. It doesn't matter the app though, it happens in every app that allows selecting multiple items through the checkbox (e.g., Gallery). I just tried it in Safe mode and it's the same. Yes, the files are selected, but without the indication, it is kind of difficult to see what has been selected in some of the apps.

Something is screwy with the UI.
Was it always like this?
Did a third app start this?
Try clearing the system cache... it clears up all manner of bizarre behavior sometimes.
Try clearing the One UI Home and the Samsung Experience cache. Clearing the data will lose a lot of settings.

From what I remember the UI has been like this since I received the phone. I thought it was just some bug that would go away with software patches but it has been there for the last 6 months.

Boot menu.
It's possible the rom is corrupted. If your near a Best Buy that has a Samsung Experience center you can have them look at it. The can reflash the stock rom if needed. A factory reset might fix it but don't count on it. Unless a 3rd party app did it a factory reset is probably a waste of time.
I've never seen that before, and it looks annoying...

I've got the same issue and no solution as yet. I think this started a month or so ago and only affect Samsung apps as the check box appears in others. Actually, the check briefly shows in Samsung apps too but then disappears only leaving dark background. I've got used to it. I suspect, in my case, a combination of changes I made to phone including good lock modules

True; not all themes will be compatible. Same applies to icon packs. They usually run ok but you need to sample them first. I've run the one default theme for years with a custom icon pack and wallpaper.

Insightful. Good save
Developer options can cause mischief. If you're using them you need to bear that in mind. Normally turning off all Developer options then enabling them again clears errors.
Thanks for that reminder too; normally they work so well you forget you're using them.
