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

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.

i JUST bought this phone yesterday and today is the first day i have actually gotten to use it and start setting it up. Its all stock. the only thing i did was install my general apps that i use all the time, and disabled the useless apps. verizon apps, amazon, some google play apps, etc. nothing major to the phone. whats happening is that when i play a youtube video or play a game, i get like a half second stutter or freeze then it continues normally. this happens on all games.
any ideas what it could be?
Bring that sucker back and get a replacement.
In all seriousness, this really sucks to hear. Have you tried unfreezing all previously frozen apps to see if the issue still persists? Since you haven't modified anything in the phone yet, you could perform a factory reset and see if that helps anything.

I know. I was shhocked when I started to notice it. I ONLY noticed it on YouTube vids and games. The the menus there didn't seem to have a hiccup at all. Maybe an app I installed? I'll try unfreezing tho oak what one would cause that.
The other issue I'm having is with my chrome bookmarks. I have 2 folders on my chrome. "Other bookmarks" where All my computer bookmarks r stores and "mobile bookmarks" when nothing is stored. What I'm trying to do is copy say Facebook from other to mobile. But every time I go to do that it moves it from other to mobile and than its no longer on other bookmarks. How can I copy bookmarks over without moving them?

If a factory reset didn't fix it (if you've done one yet), just take it back. No system setting is going to cause intermittent lag. That would be the worst idea for a setting ever... "Check this box to slow down your system at random times."

I have an M8 that at first was super fast pretty much at all times.
I installed Next Launcher on it, and it was still fast, for at least a few weeks I think.
But now I regularly get nasty lag when using that launcher (tapping on home or whatever, even other app's).. lag on the order of even 1-4 seconds before an action takes place… not acceptable at all.
I saw a post somewhere about modifying a build.prop option to "always keep launcher in memory" or something like that. I believe the post said that the launcher may get unloaded from memory at times by Android if other memory intensive app's are running.
Just wondering if anyone else has encountered similar lag from a launcher like Next Launcher… or other lag just appearing over time.
If I do a restart, lag will go away for a bit, but then return… I think it's when the Launcher is loaded, and resident in memory, that lag goes away for a bit.
I didn't want to have to root just to modify build.prop, but I guess I may have to…
Thanks for any ideas…
p.s.
I have the AT&T HTC One M8… but I doubt that would matter for this issue.
[Fixed]
Checking "System persistent" under "Performance Settings" seems to have fixed most lag on Next Launcher for me.
I also checked "Hyper Fluency" which may also help.
Nice that this option was possible so I didn't have to root just to keep the Launcher fluid...

Not necessarily. I've used more than 10 different Android devices, including the HTC One M8, and every one of them stuttered to some degree, usually once every 2 or 3 seconds while watching YouTube or Netflix, playing games, etc. It has nothing to do with network speed or a device defect. But if it's really freezing for half a second, that's a different story.

Yes, it does. You're just not sensitive enough to notice.
I am having similar issue. Got the phone a few weeks ago, and have been getting used to it. First off, the battery life is not what people made it out to be, unless mine is faulty...
Getting to the point though, in the notification bar, if there is more than 2 notifications at the same time, say an email, a chat, and a text, when I unlock the phone, the entire top notification bar "flashes" in a stuttery manner... and until i remove the notifications it continues to do this. I attempted factory reset but had no success.. Any advice?
Does anyone else have crashes for oneUI ? Fort me it happens like twice a week on my exynos model.
I'm so disappointed with this phone to be honest. It's stutters now and than and to many crashes in various apps.
I'm assuming must of it is due to Samsung chip.
I have also whacked for nightly restart even thought it's stupid i think.
Did this happen from day one?
If not it's likely an app, update or settings issue.
Still that's pretty unstable... it could be a hardware issue.

try factory reset with disabling of trashy preinstalled apps (disabled 144 on mine ), then install your apps (not restore)
adb app control
It wasn't happened on mine ( SD variant). Try to factory reset the phone, download and re-install all of your app instead of restore them (even with the phone setting). It may help to solve issues
I appreciate the tips but seriously guys, factory reset and redownload of this many apps i have is like a weeks work! I only download the stuff i use (and 99% payed apps as i hate ads). Not to mention i might loose some data thanks to how Android save data. This is not 2010. I hope modern phones are more stable then that.
If this was iPhone then i could simply restore easy but with Android its not as simple.
If there is no other way i wait for some more samsung firmware updates.
It has not happened this week so lets see.
I notice some specific apps are specially bad like LinkedIn hangs allot. Tapatalk wont work even with this forum and gives error. Maybe some of these apps make the launcher go nuts....
Try using a different launcher, to see if that stops the crashing

This problem has been going on for about a week. I have 5 folders on my home screen and the apps in one folder keep getting rearranged. I'll fix it and then after a few hours if changes again.
Additionally the bottom part of the homescreen with the default apps (these aren't in a folder) gets rearranged too.
Not sure why this is happening. Has anyone encountered this? Is there a fix for this?
Thanks!
I just reported a similar problem with the default icons rearranging themselves at the bottom of the home screen to Samsung support. This is despite the fact that I have the Home Screen layout locked in Settings. I thought that it might have something to do with the use of the Good Lock Home Screen app. Are you using this app too by any chance?
Did you lock home screen layout?
The only way the folder content should alter if this is enabled is if you package block an app in that folder.
Clear system cache.
Yes, I have my home screen locked. I have several folders on my home screen, but I haven’t noticed if the icons in these folders are also getting rearranged. Are you using the Good Lock Home Up app? I read somewhere that this can cause this problem with icon arrangement.

Starting with Android 10 Samsung added dozens, maybe a hundred or more small system apks to modify that wretched OS's behavior so One UI be functional as before.
I have two N10+'s, one running on 9, the other 10.
My package disable list for the 10 version is nearly identical to the 9 in spite nearly having 100 more new Samsung system apps. I ignored these new system apks as they don't seem to impact performance. Most likely are needed.
I recommend not touching these as erratic behavior may occur.
Sound familiar?
Go after apps that are known to cause trouble ie excess battery/internet usage and leave the rest alone. Dependencies... some are obvious, some maybe not so much so. Take a more cautious approach.
Many of the Samsung system apps just sit there and do nothing unless needed.

Not sure, I'll have to wait and see. As I said, it's totally random and sometimes only changes after 24 hours. I'll report back. Naw, doesn't happen when I close and reopen the folder. Seemingly random. It was originally the folder, now it's those default apps on the bottom of the homescreen.

If it continues...
You might be able to get some clues using Device Care>memory and seeing what apps just cache when it happens.
Or see if clearing it has any effect. Then see what apps pop up. You get the idea.
If you got more than 100 packages disabled you might want to rethink it down to about 80 or so.
Only ones you know aren't needed.
Thanks man, looks like the problem has bene resolved with a screen lock. I will take a look into your suggestions though, as I've never had to lock the screen before to prevent apps from reorganizing themselves within a folder or a dock.

Probably a setting (maybe a new one), 3rd party app or shiny new Samsung bug.
I recall that bug being caused by changing the recents settings in the homeup module. I think it was caused by one of the recents list options. I read it but can't confirm because I use Nova launcher

Found the issue.
Apparently if you use vertical apps list setting for the app drawer this issue arises.
I only switched back to one UI because of this though.
Hopefully Samsung fixes this.
I was using an love Nova launcher but didn't want the additional battery drain of one UI which has to run. Sigh, fix your bugs samsung.

It's truly not that much battery drain. Using galaxy maxhz to adjust refresh rates for situations that you don't need higher refresh rates I still average around 8.5hrs SOT at QHD.
Am I really the only one whose Moto 5G phone periodically crashes and reboots on stock android 10?
My wife has a Moto G7 that was fine on android 9 but also now periodically crashes and reboots after the ota update to android 10.
Factory reset... reload.
It's probably a 3rd party app that's not compatible.
OTA upgrades/updates tend to break things... I disable them.
That would be painful to do. I am not rooted (yet) and it would be tedious to re-install everything without Titanium backups.
I was just struck by these reboots happening on both my wife's moto G7 and my own brand new moto 5G.
I wish there was a way to log what process is running just before the crashes occur. It is something running in the background because the foreground activity is never the same. The phone suddenly slows and then crashes. Like a stack overflow or memory problem.

You'll need to track it down then.
If it's a erroneous hidden user setting or something got corrupted you may never find it. A factory reset in this case is probably the best bet.
Do something before it boot loops... instability is the only warning you may get.
Make sure all critical data is backup redundantly, now if not already.
You are correct. I need to track it down but have not figured out how.
I have everything backed up repeatedly, so that's OK. It is probably some setting. I also have a firewall (Netguard) that I've used for years on other phones with no problem. It may be blocking some app trying to repeatedly call home. Because I've never had this problem except on moto phones I suspect it might be a Moto app (display, etc). I may disable those for a while and see if that makes a difference.
Thanks for your thoughts. I was hoping someone else may have encountered and solved this problem.

You are correct. I need to track it down but have not figured out how.
I have everything backed up repeatedly, so that's OK. It is probably some setting. I also have a firewall (Netguard) that I've used for years on other phones with no problem. It may be blocking some app trying to repeatedly call home. Because I've never had this problem except on moto phones I suspect it might be a Moto app (display, etc). I may disable those for a while and see if that makes a difference.

Because it reboots unless you have other clues it may be hard to find.
Maybe last firewall entries before reboot will give you a clue.
Good idea. Will look at firewall logs.
In the meanwhile I've disabled the Moto apps and will see if that solves it. I use Nova 7 as launcher. Maybe some of its settings were clashing with Moto's.
The phone only reboots every 2-3 days. So it may take a while to see if this solves it.
Thanks.

But I've used Nova on several other phones with no problems.
If now that I disabled the Moto apps I still get reboots, I'll re-enable the Moto apps and disable Nova to use the native launcher and see if that makes a difference.
Which launcher do you use?

I run Samsung's so One UI.
2 years ago I had a 3rd party launcher boot loop my N10+ twice, back to back full reloads days apart One UI is actually a snappy fast launcher that uses little power. I prefer over Nova for a number of reasons.
There may be a glitch in Nova the update induced. I don't mess with the firmware once I have a system that runs well. It can be very time consuming to do so. Updates/upgrades have caused and cost me more far time then any malware ever did on Androids. I don't listen to the Gookill scare hype anymore...
That may well be it!
I'll work my way to switching back to the built-in moto native launcher in a few days. Sooner if I get another reboot.

You can try uninstalling Nova then reinstall. That might get it...

Interesting. I'll keep that as one of the things to try. I'll actually try it first as I like Nova.
It will take time to know because the periodic reboots only happen every 2-3 days. At least I have a series of paths to follow. Thanks.

Check ram usage for an app with a memory leak, never saw this on an Android, once on an Apple 3rd party app.
Do you reboot once a day? Or does it happen anyway?
You shouldn't have to do so but something's not playing nice.
Thanks. I do not normally reboot unless I have a particular reason to.

Lol, now you do.
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.
Where do I clear the system cache from?

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...

Thank you so much for your help. I have wiped the cache partition to no avail. I guess I will have to bring this down to a Samsung centre to check it out.
Thanks again!!
go to developer option and check what animation is set , if its less than 0.5x you need to set them back at least 0.5x or 1

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

Genius!
Maybe it's an issue related to a theme you have applied.
Try to apply the default theme and check if the issue still persist.

I have it on 0.5x all these time. When I set it to 1x, it does get a little funky. Some apps seems to be ok while others seems to be screwy.
I set the animation to off and it completely resolved the problem!! Thanks so much!!

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.
Tbh, now that everything is working normally, i don't miss the animations at all!!

Animations are quit annoying... and use a small amount of resources for nothing. Junk.
