Weird touch screen issue with WhatsApp - OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers

When I single press the 'record voice message' button, the touch of registered. When I actually try to hold it down to record the message, it doesn't register anything.. So can't record voice messages. Posted a screen recording in the link. Restarting device does not change anything.

Anyone else seen this?

Yes same here. I never use this functionality so I don't know how it normally works. But indeed it's not possible te record a voice message in this way.
But it's still possible to record a voice message; just click once in the "Type A Message" field, so the keyboard comes up, and then press the voice record button again. Then it should work.

Maybe you denied micro access before.

It's because of the gestures i believe. They are horrible -_- Using "Fullscreen/Immersive gestures" module through Magisk helped a bit for me. I can now press buttons that far down close to the corner if i press it slightly then drag the finger a bit to the side. Clunky and horrible, but I made it work for me at least.

Problem: display turns of during call

Hi there,
I have the following little prob with my Polaris:
whenever I make a call the display will go dark after a couple secs (which by itself isn't bad). However, seems like the polaris enters the standby-mode after acouple more secs, since I won't be able to touch the display to bring it up again-instead I will have to press the green or red button. This is a little annoying since I'm not able to easily access, e.g., the contacts during a call or press a key to, say, delete a message when checking my voicemails.
Any suggestions on how to tackle this?
Thanx
Two things you can do:
When you are in a call you can always press the power button and the screen will switch back on giving you access to all your applications and contacts, etc..
Better solution is to install the Backlite application. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360657
This will stop the backlight switching off during a call. Works fine for me.

Thank you!
Yap, I knew about the power button but think hitting this one is a little annoying, too. What I'd aktually like is that - during a call - the display IS indeed turned off or at least dimmed down to very dark in order to safe battery. However, I'd like it to stay touch-sensitive and come back on if I touch it. Will the Backlite application do this for me?
Thanx again!

I think the point of making the screen "non touch-sensitive" during a call is that it is easy to touch it with your face during a call and you could end up disconnecting the call or doing other unexpected things.

Lol, my ear once accepted another incoming call from this girl that I was avoiding for ages... and I didn't even realise I was talking to her, thought it was my other mate.

Ouch!
If i'm not wrong, S2U2 can turn display off during a call. Great software!
I've tried two progs more: PhoneScreenLock and InesoftAddressBook.
Inesoft provide many features including display switch off during a call.
Phonescreenlock keep the display on showing info about the call, locking the screen.. but with long conversation you may frie your ear
Bye

Any updates on this one please? I have the same problem with running gazillion apps on my Polaris with my ear in call as benjb did.
Tried PhoneScreenLock - did not work well for me because its buggy (the lock screen pretty often appears somewhere BELOW the in-call buttons or start menu and needs to be switched to via closing in-call screen, which obviously renders it useless).
The InesoftAddressBook is not an option either, cause I already have other address book app and would like to stick with it (BTW my current address book has "slide-to-pick-up-call" feature, which makes me afraid that it would conflict with S2U2).
Sadly the Polaris doesn't have motion or light sensor... It would make my life sooooo easier with ZuinigeRijder's TouchLockPro...
So any ideas on what else I could use please? Thanks!
two things...
1) Are you aware that after you answer/make a call but before you put the phone up to your ear you can press the power button (not press & hold, just press & release) which will turn off the display, but not disconnect your call (or, turn off your phone)? No stray on-screen button pushing this way! With the screen off the "end call/hang up" button still functions and when you press it the screen will come back on immediately. If you need to access your address book or make a note etc during a call, press & release the power button and it will turn the screen back on and not effect your call in any way. If your phone is set up like mine and it returns to the home screen each time the screen is turned on, then simply press the green phone button and the dialer comes back to the top.
2) If #1 doesn't do it for you and you need software to accomplish this, then search this forum for MissedCallReminder (just like that - no spaces). Besides having an option to "lock screen on connect" it has a very handy feature (the main feature actually, as the name indicates) of being able to set up repeat reminders for missed calls and missed sms messages. Very handy. It can be setup to run automatically at startup so you don't have to remember to start it up manually. It also automatically unlocks the screen when you end your call.
Turned out I had bookmarked the app, so here's a link:

2 options, use the directional buttons around the enter key, or install virtual mouse.
The directional buttons don't allow you to navigate to the 'Send' button unfortunately. At least, not that I have been able to do. I can navigate most other places with them though.
I will look into using virutal mouse tonight. Thanks.
I have the UK version - so i may be wrong here. Isnt there a txt key on the slide out keyboard?
Failing that, bind a key using something like AEB (remap button pushes) or gscroll (use the capacative touch on the buttons) - you can google them both!
And if you have trouble mapping to "create new txt" send me a pm and i'll walk you through it!

gear S3 voice message issue

How does using Voice Input for messages work?
When I click on a contact, select the messaging icon, then select the blue microphone icon, it starts recording my message. However, I see NO way to
a) stop recording
b) sending
The AT&T guide I found online shows a 'send' menu point that is supposed to be at the bottom, but I don't see one.
Instead, the screen goes blank, (only showing 3 menu points to the rightm which when pressed only allow a language selection). And then the screen timeout kicks in and i cannot send my message. It is also NOT automatically sent after a while.
Is this broken or am I just not getting it?

'Screen Pin' and Dialer issue

Using an AT&T LG G5 with android 7. (but posting here because the question is NOT LG specific, tested and observed same behavior on a Nexus 6P with android O beta).
So android has this neat "Screen Pin" feature so I can open the dialer, pin that screen and hand the phone to a friend who can make a call without access to anything else on my phone.
Sounds great but here is what actually happens: with the screen pinned, I can enter a number and press the place call button, the phone will show a message that you need to press the back and overview buttons to unpin the screen, the phone call screen will NOT come up, but the phone will actually place the call, so you are in a call but without a screen so you can't even hang up.
That makes the screen pin feature pretty useless for phone calls.
So does this work for anyone else? any suggestions that might make this work?
(not earth shatteringly important, but a nice feature to have if it actually worked).
Thank you
