RE: Samsung Galaxy AO2s. Certain of my settings sometimes and automatically change. The settings change without my permission. It's like it doesn't stay the way I set it. Is there anything I can do to stop it from resetting my settings? It is very annoying.

Which settings?
Clear system cache.
It may be a system or 3rd party app that has permission to change system setting. If so find it and deal with it directly. Clear it's data or revoke permissions although that could cause other side effects.
Try clearing Google play Services data, a prime offender...
There's also the possibility of malware as this is abnormal behavior. Find the cause or do a factory reset. Be careful what you install and download...
Two settings that have done this. First is the display which reverts down to 20 seconds and the other is the bluetooth. The display is the worst one especially when I am on a business call and I need the screen on for the keyboard usage.

You need to track down the app responsible.
First try clearing the system cache from the boot menu. It will cause no harm and can fix all manner of erratic behaviors. I do it about once a month (or if needed) as part of routine maintenance.
How do I get to the boot menu?

I had weird problems with Moto G3 touch screen.
1. Touch screen hangs when I restart phone and immediately swipe for notifications.
2. Sometimes home buttons are not working.
3. Sometimes whole touch screen doesn't work. Lock and unlock solves issue.
4. This is really weird. When home button is not working. I press and hold for a moment. Google App starts and all 3 buttons start working.
5. Notification window automatically flashes at regular interval without swiping.
I don't understand. I tried to debug.. It seems software issue not hardware issue. Please help.
Sounds like a lag problem... memory full or runaway app... I would first do a cache wipe, then check memory usage and make sure it isn't almost full, then look at storage because I have seen phones do this when internal storage is very limited.
Thanks for reply. One more problem added

I have done factory reset twice. I always keep enough space in phone. I cleanup everyday. Memory issue can never be problem for me. I dont keep unnecessary data. Now i have observed one more problem. Notification window automatically flashes at regular interval without doing anything.

Hmm... the whole notification bar is flashing at regular intervals? This really sounds like a software issue... Are you stock?
Honestly, at this point you need to absolutely verify hardware or software... I would factory default, and skip everything in setup, do not add Google account (important!) or restore anything, except login to WiFi. Does it still do it? If so, it is probably hardware and you need to RMA it to Moto, if it is OK then it's a software issue in one of your apps.
Any screen protector or case? Sometimes they are known to do weird things on this device, especially tempered glass ones.

Thanks for quick reply. I agree with you. It's software issue. It works fine in safe mode. Actual hardware is fine. May be I can try factory reset one more time without adding google account. Okay. I will get back to you once I do reset. Thnx buddy.

Add the Google account but don't restore apps... Setup all the Google services and test, if it's OK then start adding apps a few at a time. If it starts acting up its a system settings issue, factory reset and add Google account but don't restore any services at all and continue to setup like a new device.

Ok. Noted.
Hi, I am in need of some help. For some reason now whenever I press on Display tab in settings the app just crashes completely, each time. I tried deleting it's data force close reboot and many other things but i'm not sure how to fix it without losing all of my data.. Anyone have any idea what mey be causing it? Booted in Safe Mode and it crashes there also.
Thank you
This is happening on special edition phones. The only way to fix it to reset the phone setting.

Had this happen before on my OP6. You need to perform a factory reset to resolve.
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?

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...

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.
Just like it says. I am having a issues with some apps not saving after I set them. It happens when I shut the app down or reboot and I find that the phone is not doing what I set for the app. I open the app to check the settings and it has all been erased like new. If I keep the app open it runs all the settings correctly and saves them but as soon as I close the app or reboot it some of those apps default like it is a brand new app. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Man I hope someone can help us out with a lil insight. Thanks for the reply. I thought I might have screwed up a few things while setting up this new phone. I am on the latest build stable.
is it the permissions being cleared because its being "Paused". under the app's app info page there is a toggle Unused app settings--> Pause app activity if unused. make sure this is off.

No that doesn't appear to be that either. I checked all the apps that seem to be having this problem. Unfortunately that isn't it either. Thank you for the suggestion! IDK if a reflash without wiping would help?
I have never seen this or experienced it. Have you done "something" different? Tried to root, or install a ROM, or...???? If it keeps happening EVEN to native/default/system apps then I would recommend a factory reset with a low level cache wipe...if it can be done on this phone.

I would go for the reflash, and in the end, go for a clean flash.
I didn't experience this problem, but I did have an issue where every time I set a conversation as a priority, the second I left that screen, it reset back to default. I don't have the issue now, but I've also reflashed since then.
I have fixed it by wiping the affected apps data and then uninstalling them and readding the settings. Thanks guys!
Hi,
I enabled "restrict background battery" for few apps, but after reboot, those settings are lost.
I have a pixel 7 (not a pro), and the problem (according to this post) seems to affect other permissions..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-permissions-lost-daily.4514687/
Does anyone else have the same problem?
My permissions seem to get lost sometimes randomly. Not after each reboot and not every morning/day. Just randomly.
