Hi guys,
Strange things started to happen after my OTA 2.3.4 upgrade yesterday. Maybe it is a coincidence but 5-6 hours after I did an upgrade my lock ring started not to work that smooth as before and I'm completely sure I didn't have it yesterday ! I mean - very often I can't drag this lock ring into the middle of the screen to unlock. It simply does not follow my finger and goes back to the bottom of the screen. The other thing - my back button refuses to work occasionally. For the first time (after two weeks of usage) I was not able to use it, no response at all ! I need to push the button 4-5 times and then it starts working. It is easily repeatable - simply try to launch your text messages or phone directly from the lock screen, use you back button (it should work for first few times) and then turn off the screen to lock it. Repeat it several times and at one point it will not react on back button pushes. It will respond after 4-5 times.
I know there is very similar thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129272
But does anyone of you suffers this issue just after upgrading to 2.3.4 ? Or is this just a coincidence ?
This happened to me with the previous rom. 2.3.4 is excellent
Hi everybody,
I found fix to my problem. It turned out the reason for this was my screen protector. What is interesting it is original screen protector from HTC ! So one time when I couldn't get my lock ring to the middle of the screen I took out the screen protector and voila ... everything is working now like a charm. I suspect that the screen protector got harder or something after little sun exposure. HTC - shame on its poor quality !
But I still do have problems with back button, but only when I run apps directly from the lock screen. Otherwise it works always, so for me it seems like a software bug ! Will write to HTC to report it to them.
This isn't happening with my phone. I have 2.3.4
Hi All,
I've got a leagoo lead 1 here. Phone works great however it has a developing problem.
When turning on the screen the phone won't unlock by swiping or pin patterns or anything that involves screen contact.
Turning the screen repeatedly on/off/on/off etc gets the screen to respond. once the phone is unlocked everything works fine as it should be. I'd reckon it is not a screen failure then because it is very repsonsive once unlocked.
The problem only occurs when the screen needs to be unlocked. Tried the stock launcher as I suspected nova launcher to be the culprit but the problem remained.
Anyone usefull tips/tricks?
btw. Restart and batterypull didn't resolve the matter
Hi all, I've got a weird problem. The last 3 days my screen has been acting strange. Phone is working without problems when suddenly the hardware buttons won't respond any more. After a few seconds the screen goes black and stays black. Buttons are still lit, but don't respond. But the strangest part is that the drawer stays visible and can also be used normally. I mean, I can draw the notification area down and let it fill the complete screen. So the screen itself doesn't appear to be broken.
Also, when putting the phone to sleep and awaking it again, I can see the normal screen a brief moment, maybe half a second before it goes black again. Restarting the phone is the only thing that will help...
I've cleared Dalvik/cache hoping it would make a difference, but it did not. Hope someone has got a clue?
I've uploaded 2 screen shots to show what I mean.
I'm rooted on OxygenOs 1.0.3/Android 5.0.2.
All of a sudden my lock screen turned grey with two question marks down the bottom. Fingerprint unlock doesn't work and I have to swipe up, enter my pin which takes me to my normal lock screen where I can then unlock normally.
The grey screen displays the time only which doesn't update, it stays the same no matter how much time has past.
I have no idea how this happened or how to fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Couldn't find any similar topic except in forums for s10+, OnePlus and other phones. Sorry if I missed anything.
As in the subject, after unlocking, approximately half of the screen flickers black and goes to the home screen. It takes less than a second. Always top half, bottom half shows home screen right after unlock. This does not happen on each unlock, but also, there is no pattern - it can be after 5 or 30 unlocks, it can be after 5 minutes or 10 hours of not using the phone. It started mid-July and not only annoys but is starting to worry me. Solutions from other threads didn't help. For example:
Fingerprint sensor problem - I don't use it, I have pin lock.
Samsung Pay issue - I don't even have it available, so, don't use it either .
Animations - setting them off did not help.
I cannot guess anymore what would be the cause, if it's some app which wakes up after unlock or what else. The only thing I've changed (except updating apps) was adding another sim card, but my tiny little brain cannot find connection. I didn't test removing it as I need this sim active and don't have backup phone right now. Also, I would really like to avoid resetting the phone...
Did you experienced anything similar?
Thanks a lot for any help or suggestion.
are using Samsung or some third party launcher. Did you wipe cache? Latest firmware updates?
Yes, I did both, firmware update and cache wiping, no change. I'm using stock launcher.
did you try in safe mode to exclude some app causing it
Yes, I tried safe mode without success.
i would take it to Samsung repair centre if pos
Thanks for trying and all the steps. There's nothing like that where I live, neither any advisory place except for hotline. I can drop it at their service but will need to wipe it down before, which I keep as the last resort. I'll keep waiting for another firmware update and if nothing changes then I'm willing to do the hard reset. I just hope it's not a symptom of some virus - I'm trying to be most careful, scanning device periodically, didn't root, so I naively count on being safe...
i don't think it's virus. fingers crossed it's just software issue
hi again, just to let you know, I think I know what was causing this flickering and now I feel silly . Home screen rotation. I had this option turned on, and it's possible that sometimes, when I put my phone on the table, home screen rotates to horizontal position. Of course it locks after few seconds. I've noticed it completely accidentally, because one time, when screen flickered black there was slow-motion rotation animation in the background (which I've never seen before). That's why flickering was completely random to me, not connected to any type of notification whatsoever. Well, it's not, it has a pattern . I've checked it plenty of times and each time I lock my phone with home screen in horizontal view, but unlock in vertical, half of the screen is flickering black. That's it, at least I believe it must be this, because it happens each time and never when I lock my screen in vertical position.
Once again thanks for all the help!
