A difficult start with LineageOS followed by a happy end ... - General Questions and Answers

Hello, I have just installed LineageOS 16 onto my old Samsung Galaxy S III Neo and I am very satisfied, but I find a little problem at a very start of it. In fact it shows me the screen where to type the sim code twice. The second time it shows me that I don't have to type it again as when I touch it it disappears and appears a short message saying that "Trebuchet is not responding", so I close it and a black screen appears. At last I push the power button and everything goes well. I'll be grateful to you if you give me a suggestion in order to fix this problem. Best regards. Alberto (from Genoa, Italy)

Could you link to the lineage os forum post? It sound like is a beta build thus some small problems like these are not uncommon.
However, I would suggest changing the launcher to something like the nova launcher and see if that helps.
Cheers!

Hi, thanks a lot for your reply! I'll try to install nova launcher and try it, even if I noticed that some people are not happy with nova. As for lineage os forum I didn't even know it existed. How can I do in order to link my thread to it? (I am a beginner in such things ...)
Cheers!

it did the same with me but after a soft reset it went away
it comes back after a soft reset. it shows up when my phone is finished booting.
me 2 help?
same thing happens to mine as well. it keeps popping up. how can i fix this?
Yeah me too! It's really winding me up. I don't even remember installing the blasted thing. Unless it came with my Dutty ROM I just installed but the messages only started showing up in the last day and I've had the ROM for over a week with no problems before this. I am wondering if it hitched a lift on something else I installed

[Q][PROBLEM] HTC Sense 3.0 Lockscreen issue - no 4 buttons

Hello All,
First of all - sorry for my english
Secound - I'm new in Android, my previous device was HTC Touch HD (aka Blackstone) - so I'm a little used to WinMo 6.5
I bought my Sensation last wednesday. It is a stock S-ON RL device (info about ROM is in my signature).
I have non-root'ed device.
Until yesterday (saturday) everything was O.K.
I set up a lockscreen with weather and one custom button (pointed to task manager - built one, not downloaded from Android Market).
Today morning i noticed issue with lockscreen.
There is no buttons above lock ring (any of them), and there is no weather shown.
I did soft-reset my device several times and that doesn't help.
When i go to "home screen" => "personalization" => "lockscreens" => and select (screen 1a, 2a) any of them, then return to "Home Screen" and press POWER button (to activate lockscreen) and again POWER button to see actual lockscreen (screen 3a) - I still don't see any of the four buttons (and weather)...
What's wrong? Anyone have ideas?
I don't see any setting, which could disable the four buttons....
If I wrote something ununderstandable, please let me know
Have I done something wrong? Why yesterday everything was OK? Could something be wrong during night? :/
Sorry for poor quality of screens, my work-phone is prehistorical
Any help would be appreciated
Thanx in advance

[Q] MyTouch 4G won't type for 20-30 seconds

I couldn't see this same problem anywhere else, please post the link if you know of another place this topic has come up.
I have a MyTouch 4G which is running Android 2.2.1 I'm not terribly techno-savvy, so it isn't rooted, there's nothing on it you can't find in the Android Market.
The problem I'm having is that when I get a text, for instance (this is just one example, it's not just a texting problem) when I pull up the keyboard and try to type, whether it's tapping a letter or using swype, nothing appears in the text box. The screen is obviously fine because I can navigate to, and open the messaging program and even tap the window where my response will show bringing up the keyboard. It's only after this point for 20-30 seconds or so, whatever I type doesn't populate the "Type to compose" box. The text prediction will even bring up a suggested word, but if I tap on it, nothing happens. It's not a lag, the words don't all appear suddenly 20 seconds later.
This was only one example, it happens any time I need to type. The Google search box, the search box in contacts, a note in DropBox....anything.
Has anyone else had this same issue? Or, do you have any ideas as to what I might try to get this problem taken care of?
Thank you in advance
i had the same Problem on my galaxy s when i still had android 2.1
After the Update to Froyo the problem disapeared
Maybe you should root your phone and install a different kernel and rom?
I am quit sure that this would fix your problem

I'm pretty unskilled with things like rooting my phone. Apart from that, the root procedure on the MT4G is a complicated one, at least the ones I've seen.
Thanks for the reply though Jcyber, Any other ideas folks?

[Q] Nexus 5 incoming call screen gets me stuck

earched Google all over and couldn't find a solution for this. When I get an incoming call on my nexus 5, half of the screen goes black, and the main buttons disappear, and I can't do anything with the status bar. Basically, I can't do anything besides answer, hang up or text. Only after I answer the functionality returns. It's really annoying when I'm in the middle of something and than someone calls and I can't just ignore it, I have to wait until the caller hangs up (and then usually he will call again). The half black screen also bothers me but it's not the real problem, I just guess it's part of the bug. I tried using 3rd party apps for incoming calls but they don't solve this problem. This is how it looks like (I can't post a picture so copy the link):

I'm surprised I didn't find a solution because it's a very annoying problem and I don't think it only happens to me. I'll be glad if you know how to fix this. Thanks

That's exactly how its meant to be. If you flash a ROM like omni you can get a less intrusive dialer that looks something like this:

If you've never installed a ROM before there are loads of tutorials to get you started, just don't take any shortcuts (like toolkits!)

But wouldn't flashing the device prevent me from upgrading my android version? I mean, one of the advantages in nexus is that it gets more upgrades and sooner than everybody else, isn't it?

most custom roms get updated even before an ota is out. once google drops source into aosp, that day or next, most custom roms update. sometimes this happens a week before otas go out, sometimes its about the same time.

So what you're saying it's that custom ROM is always better?

have u tried one of the full screen caller id apps ?
I tried this one on my Moto G with Android 4.3.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tw.nicky.HDCallerID
see if it works for your phone.
same problem here, thanks god i'm not alone! I simply don't get why on incoming calls i cant hit the home button and go back on my stuff!!! annoying. hope in a solution, had tried many apps but didn't find the right one
I have the same problem in the last month I had this issue 5 or 6 times until now...any idea besides installing a custom ROM?
Similar problem here.
I have a similar problem. No black screen but I can't do anything and the nav bar disappears. N5 with 4.4.4 stock, Franco Kernel, root, xposed Framework. I found out that other phones have the same problem and in a moto x thread I found a thread that perfectly matches my problem.
I think it's an android bug.. like a file system or something.. not related to any customization.

[Q] Lock screen apps

I'm sorry if this thread doesn't belong here but I have a question/problem: I have tried several lock screen apps and two of them seemed pretty nice though they had one VERY bad habit. I have my phone's sim card secured with a pin code and the lock screen apps I'm talking about kick in even BEFORE I get to the screen to unlock my sim card whenever I boot up or restart my phone. That is NOT normal behavior and I don't know if it's device specific or Android version specific since I have yet to see ayone else besides my sister complain about this particular issue. I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 mini running Android v4.1.2 and the apps in question are Hi Locker and Snaplock. So is this a bug within the apps or is this Android specific?
