Hi all,
Since installing the update 3 weeks ago, I've been having major problems with video playback. Youtube works fine, but any other video stream or playing back local video files, it will stutter and blink repeatedly and the video will be unwatchable. I thought it was a conflicting app perhaps so I did a factory reset and it worked fine for 2 weeks up until yesterday when it started again. I had installed allcast yesterday so thought that might be it, well I uninstalled and the problem is still there.
Does anyone have any solutions? I know there is a few of you with the same issues.
There is one fix that works but it can break some of Google's apps (mainly google play movies/shows). Enable developer options in the settings (I think you have to tap on your android version in the About->Status menu repeatedly until you get the prompt to enable the developer settings. Then there is an option that says "Disable UI overlay" or something like that make sure to check that box and your videos will work again. It's up to Samsung to fix it with firmware as it was working fine in 4.3.
Just lost the ability to cast my screen to chromecast which us really annoying... Haven't really changed anything, running Cloudy 2.5, I can see the chromecast and reboot it via the app, but it doesn't show up when casting. Installed 20U and casting works so it must be something eith my rom or apps.
Anyone resolved this before or got any ideas?
Has anyone noticed after using Samsung Dex a few times, upon disconnecting your S8/ Note8, all*app*animations/ transitions no longer function as normal - it no longer does the zoom in & out effect.
The only fix for this issue so far is to reboot the*device.
Anyone else out there having the same issue?
Hi everyone,
I'm having a very weird and annoying bug with my OnePlus 5T on OOS 4.7.5
Normally, when I start casting content to my Chromecast Audio, I get q notification on top that shows me what's going on. The same goes for all Devices on my Network. Now, with the 5T this doesn't work. My wife get's the Chromecast and Google Home Notification, but my 5T refuses to show anything. Casting works just fine, and If I open the Home app I can see the current Playback.
I've checked the relevant settings and can't see anything that might be amiss. Other apps notify correctly as far as I can tell.
Any clue what might be wrong?
Thanks!
I flashed OmniRom 8.1 and now the Cast Notification is there. The Rom is a lot slower than OOS and Camera is not fully supported, but apart from that it works just fine and doesn't have the Cast bug... weird...
Hi,

The bottom screen does this flickering when typing with Swiftkey keyboard on some apps. This one is Doggcatcher but it happens on other apps too.
If I swap to GBoard it does not happen. We're on Android Pie 9.0.
Has anyone found this issue?
Seems like a graphic bug in that specific keyboard.
Please, i need help.
Evaluate for yourself whether it is related to this topic.
Occasionally, graphical glitches appear on my Mi A2 lite, (4/64, Android Pie, December update, locked bootloader, no root, intact system).
In most cases, they flickering all over the screen, and in some other cases they are frozen, as is shown in attachment.
They are completely random and they appear through many applications that i use.
I can not determine the cause.
Does anyone else have a similar problem?
me... on chrome and all app that use webview... during call status bar is flickering... when switch to the camera in whatsapp with swipe to set status... and other
Something similar here, if Facebook Messenger chat head is overlaying YouTube it flickers a lot (only the actual video but the description and recommend are always working without flicker also no problems in fullscreen), less often it happens with Chrome and sometimes YouTube does it without Facebook Messenger even being open (Android Pie Dec. 5) [also it didn't happen for the first few weeks with 8.1 then Pie got released and worked well for some days then this started to happen]
I have that problem , the notification bar flickers a lot and when on video calls, it shows a black flickering rectangle at the bottom of the screen
Hi, I've got the same problem here. For me, the flickering appears when the keyboard is open, and get faster while typing, please does someone know how to fix that?

It is true that it is the keyboard, my keyboard developer is fixing the bug making it do that as we speak but in my case the whole screen flashes black instead of the little box you have
The problem with the flickering screen in some apps like Youtube, Chrome or Instagram can be fixed as follows:
Go to Developer Options and activate "disable hw overlays"
However, the setting must be set again after every Phone restart.

Isn't that bad long term?
"Without a hardware overlay every application that is displaying things on the screen will share video memory and will have to constantly check for collision and clipping to render a proper image, this can cost a lot of processing power. With a hardware overlay each application gets its own portion of video memory, getting rid of the need to check for collision and clipping."
