Annoying "Phone is starting..." delay on boot-up. Are you experiencing this? - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers

Annoying "Phone is starting..." delay on boot-up. Are you experiencing this?
Recently, I got the Note 20 Ultra.
For a couple of days, the phone used to boot clean without any delays.
During boot, there is now a progress bar that appears on a blank screen with text above it saying, "Phone is starting..".
The progress bar on the blank screen eventually goes away with an icon in the notifications saying,
"Phone restarted Unlock your phone to get app notifications"
Are any of you encountering this boot-up delay on your phones? If so, have you fixed it? I'm also familiar with a brief delay after an firmware update, but this is unfortunately not the case. It occurs after every reboot.

Never seen this on any phone I've had. How did you initially set your phone up? If you copied data and apps from another phone that's probably your issue.

Just rebooted Snapdragon At&t. Said Phone is starting for like a second. No delay

If I'm not wrong :
Since Android Pie all smartphones powerful enough had to be encrypted.
This delay is the one needed to decrypt the phone.
You can disable it in the security settings.

Yup, I've had message pop up in reboot on my last 3-4 phones. Not exactly sure when it started and it's kind of annoying that it happens. But since I don't reboot very often, I just deal with it.

My AT&T 10+ always shows that bar at startup, normal... no encryption.
The 20 U's memory is faster so it shouldn't persist as long which only is 1 or 2 seconds. How many autostart apks you got will effect that time length though, I believe.
The app Autostarts will show you what is insisting to be loaded asap on start up.
If it's a 3rd or unneeded system apk you can tone it down by disabling/uninstalling/package blocking them.

I have the same on my Note 20 Ultra.
Not sure what it is, but from memory (I might be wrong) it was not like this before. Maybe some installed program is causing this...

I have Galaxy Labs too.
PD MDM as well but I think that kicks in before the bar.
Now I'm curious it is a 3rd party app because I don't think I saw at first after I did 2 reloads recently.
Interesting.

I think it's just a Android thing, I always saw this on my Pixel so I'm not surprised to see it on Note 20

Since the update to Android 10 on every device I've had, it does this now. Is it really that much a bother for a few extra seconds? Not for me, I don't worry about it as it's quick and can get into the phone very fast after a restart.

Curious which apk is doing it.
It's interesting it's happening on Q too.

My Note 10+ did this and so has my Note 20 Ultra straight out of the box. Hasn't bothered me any, since it shows up for maybe 3 seconds at most.

[Q] Strange graphical static

I've been getting a strange issue lately. It can happen in any app, but it usually occurs during or just after a transition of some sort (sliding or something like that). The problem is that I get a field of random graphical static somewhere on the screen. While I've seen it happen in quite a few apps it happens randomly and I can't reliably reproduce it. It almost always happens in the same places in each app, however.
I've attached a screenshot (the static is the block in the top-left corner). This particular app is Reddit News Pro, but like I said, it can happen in almost any app. I'm on stock 5.0.1 on my N5, rooted, Xposed.

I find it interesting that is happening at a software level, were you able to take screenshots as well? I once had a glitch that looked like that, only on the status bar when opening the feedly settings on lollipop. I don't use lollipop and I've never seen it again.
If the phone is certainly dying, I once held a galaxy note (or note 2? all samsung devices look the same to me) which I could not reflash or even partition but entered in the boot-loader, and the owner told me a few months later that someone fixed it. I don't remember what it had or if he told me at all though.

I don't think it's software. Pretty sure your digitizer is dying. Mine went quickly, yours seems more slow. Over the course of a week mine went from the (entire) screen occasionally glitching for a few seconds or minutes, to permanently showing what's in the pic. In that state the device was unusable except for hard rebooting by long-pressing the power button.

It may not be software, but I just find weird that it appears on screenshots so, If it is hardware indeed then I don't think it can be repaired as the phone I previously mentioned. Just in case I would roll back the phone to Kitkat and give it a try before thinking the worst. The main reason I rolled back to kitkat was graphic and lockscreen glitches that would force me to soft reboot the phone every now and then.

Update QF3 available for sprint 7/5/17

new update available. says "security , new device features " , its the android june security patch and possibly a new feature
If your using the no root hotspot it still works through update!!
It installs weird too after rebooting it restarts then the screen will black out and say "installing applications"
then it will say software is custom until the update notification at the top stops. even though it already popped up a toast that said successfully upgraded yet that still has to fill up (in the notification) then it all goes to normal seems smoother than ever
I am applying it right now, will follow up if I run across any issues.

Thanks. So there is more than just security patch in it at that size.
All I know is the last update(not this one) broke my phone, My system app crashed randomly, vibration would continue to vibrate after calls were answered, very slow response and frequent random resets. Notifications would either not appear or not disappear. One time I lost all my home screen apps. The problems were so severe I decided to upgrade to the S8.
After this update my phone runs like new.... too bad I already decided to buy the new S8.... although my 'excuse' for needing it apparently has been fixed by this update, Now I just want the S8.

Wish I could even get to a screen that said anything! Looks like I'll have to flash a factory image.........of course I didn't check my backup status first, HA! At least it's not my main phone
Mine said optimizing apps for almost 2 hours. Only problem I see now from b3, is Facebook won't save a photo. Just keeps saying error saving the photo. And if you take a screenshot, it STILL doesn't go to the top of the list like it should.
Took a long time on boot up after installing. Probably 10-15 minutes. Be patient.
Mine took a couple hours to optimize apps as well. So far I've found more accents, the notifications are more colorful, the lockscreen lock is at the top, the WiFi icon is different on the pulldown and the status bar, the at a glance font is now 'thicker' and the google search bar is now black. Also, force dark mode now either doesn't do anything or crashes settings.
Can I ask what's not working in Q beta 4?
Need to use my Pixel 3 XL for work and can't afford to be without my phone.
Is there a running list of what's working and what's not?
Thank you in advance,
Tom

On the same boat. stuck at G logo with scrolling bar. Let me know if you find any workaround. I don't want to flash/factory reset my primary phone
I have pixel 3 btw.
Update:
My pixel 3 booted to beta 3 and I got a notification that update failed. Thanks to A/B partition!
Update:
I clicked on update again after that and kept the phone on charge. It optimized the apps and the updated went through successfully!
This is before the update is paused by Google.

Apps Ghost Lingering on Home screen

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?

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.

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.

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.

Question November update is bug fest

Hello everyone,
My Pixel 7 Pro experience has been so far smooth ride but since I received November update it is definitely more buggy, than it was. From time to time I get freezed screen (only something works, like pulling notification tab, but nothing else) and I have to restart device. Camera app opened from lock screen often closes itself when tapping shutter button. Do you also have this kind of behaviour? No root, no mod, no nothing, everything stock.
Plus additional bonus from A13 feature. Replying to messages in landscape mode is just dumb. Can't see what I'm writing. Can't press send button.
I don't have these bugs and yeah, landscape mode has never been ideal for a lot of things. This isn't new.
Before update I had only minor bugs like invisible watch widget or invisible spotify in notifications. But since update it got much worse and I have to regularly restart device.
I too haven't been experiencing anything out of the ordinary, and like Ethereal said... Landscape is always so and so but I was able to scroll the uhm... reply box? Notification?
I don't know when, but Google used to do a full screen text box for landscape text but seems to have gotten rid of it, maybe you're intended to scroll what you want to see?
No problems on my end. In fact, it's only gotten better (especially the signal quality) on the November update.

Yes experience frozen screen code of times.
Updated my phone to November patch 3-4 days back, not had any of these issues. Has been just as stable as October for me.

It doesn't happen everyday. But it already happened in the morning. I woke up, took the phone and home screen was frozen. I couldn't swipe or open anything. Only notification tab was working. Had to restart the phone. I have to restart the phone like every two days. Definitely expected more from clean Android. MIUI had much more features and wasn't as buggy as this.
No issues here on the nov update either, if anything its an improvement over the oct update. I'm really looking forward to the dec update though, that should really improve things.

It might not happen every day. But for me it hasn't happened at all, and nor for most other users if this thread is any indication.

For me, I have part of the keyboard freezing up and not recognizing touches when using FB messenger in bubbles for long time. I mean at least having the bubble open for a long time

I think the point might be it's unrelated to the update.
Mine has been super stable with the November update - zero issues actually, which is rare for me.
Well, I do have errors since the last update:
The phone does not wake up after a long time without being used. It does not work double tap on screen, or change the position of the phone. I have to press the power button to wake up.
On one occasion the lock screen was hung with the semi-lit fingerprint sensor, but pressing the power button was solved.
Of course, the previous update was much better.

Might be, but it didn't do it before the QPR1 B3.1...

Indeed, it might be, it might not, I'm not suggesting it definitely isn't at fault.
However, where it didn't happen for you prior to the update, it hasn't happened to myself and many others (most others?) either before or after. This suggests the update being the cause is no certainty, contrary to the thread title, rather that it is something being assumed by virtue of the fact it's a change that has taken place.

No issues here on the nov update either, if anything its an improvement over the oct update. I'm really looking forward to the dec update though, that should really improve things.

Yeah in theory, but in reality it is hit and miss month on month. In saying that it has been far smoother than the Pixel 6 series
Only issue I've had is text box randomly not popping up with keyboard in Messages and Chrome input boxes. So input field stays hidden underneath Gboard. But I was having this issue in last update too
also i've noticed the Level tool in the camera now is tilted about 4° to the right, so i had to disable it.
My Status Bar Clock is missing since the update. :l
edit: System UI tuner helped
