[Q] Edge screen not working? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

I'm not sure when this happened, but for some reason my edge screen no longer works for information stream or night clock. They're both enabled. I'm fairly certain I didn't freeze anything wrong in TBP. Any thoughts? I'm stock rooted.

[Q] 2 quirks

Guys
2 quirks
1) sometimes when entering my PIN on voicemail, the screen just blanks out - it doesn't happen every time but probably 1 out of 3 times. I tested dialing 611 and entering digits and it never happens
2) Flipping screens on widgets or apps, sometimes it doesn't move to the next screen. I have to make sure my finger goes all the way to the right of the screen to flip it to the next page. Not sure if this has anything to do with the XO skin protector I put on but don't recollect this problem started right after I installed the protector
Any of you guys seen this?
What version of ICS you have on your phone, custom rom etc..? Also GSM or Verizon?
I notice sometimes the screen goes off when talking on phone, and it doesn't come back on when I move it away from my face (like it's supposed to right?).
Also I just tested flipping pages in the browsing all apps/widgets, and I only have to slide my finger as little as a half inch, to flip pages. However if you do this slowly it will not flip pages, so it depends on the speed to slide and let go of the screen. This is also true for the launcher, flipping screens. So not sure why this would be happening to you?? I also have a screen protector as well (cheap dry application one $1.99 from ebay)
Try turning off the screen next time if happens and then back on and see if it goes back to normal behavior...? Does the phone accurately follow your finger completely? If not it might be some hardware issue with the touchscreen. If it doesn't then I would definitely remove your screen protector and test for the issue.
is there an app i can use to test if the screen is following my finger properly?
verizon and using stock os (rooted it of course)

It's built in, just go to settings, developer options, show touches (check this)
It will show a small circle following where your finger is touching.
Also there is an even better setting above that called "show pointer location" Which will draw a line showing where you have been touching the screen.
Working fine

Strange, is this something new to ICS 4.0.3? Can anyone else confirm? I've only used 4.0.2 and 4.0.1.
If its following your finger accurately the only thing that would make sense to me is the ROM or kernel/drivers...??
i'm on 4.0.2 with verizon - there aren't any other updates available when i check

Ah for some reason I thought 4.0.3 was already pushed out to Verizon Galaxy Nexus phones, turns out that is not the case... ignore what I said earlier about it being associated with 4.0.2 I guess..
If you really want to get this fixed one suggestion would be to back up your phone (nandroid and/or titanium backup), and do a factory reset... if the page flipping issue goes away then you can at least isolate it the issue a little better...
I'm curious to see exactly the extent of the page/screen flipping issue you have, if you have the means, and have some time to blow, make a youtube video of the issue in action and maybe it will be a little clearer to see whats happening...

[Q] Random slowdown/WiFi freezing

Hi guys, hopefully someone can acknowledge if this is a common problem or not.
Basically when playing games (all games), does anyone get random slowdowns? Like the game becomes super laggy for maybe 3-6 seconds?
Using System Monitor, I don't see anything happening with the CPU such as hitting 100% or anything like that, so it's doesnt seem to be the CPU working on anything else. As said, it happens randomly but will always happen if playing. This doesn't seem to to happen in any non-gaming apps or the homescreen.
Secondly, another random issue seems to be toggling WiFi on. Basically when turning on WiFi from the Notification Bar, it will just sit there and then eventually the phone will freeze. I can still press lock button (on the right of the phone) which will put the srceen off and on as if it was locking and it even makes the locking noise. However the screen will be completely unresponsive, completely unable to interact with the phone.
Again, this is random and doesn't seem to be brought on by anything I can see.
Holding the lock button to restart the phone still works.
Running completely stock. (GT9190) on stock firmware for South Africa. No root, nothing.
So guys, does this happen to anyone else? Hopefully this is normal and will be fixed by Samsung with 4.3/4.4 or something.
S4 mini lags
I had the same problem but when i install New software update XXUBML4 it gone

Screen Waking Problem (Damaged S4)

Hellol
So I have an old S4 and have a problem that I imagine is due to my girlfriend dropping the phone but would like to hear if anyone has an idea of what is going on.
So basically the phone screen wakes every 5-30s (seems to be a random time interval I have used a stopwatch to make sure it wasnt predictable) I originally assumed it was a kernel problem so I switched kernels, then switched roms, then went back to 100% stock and this behaviour happens on every single rom and every single configuration Touchwiz / aosp / CM / Google Edition everything I have tried.
What is strange is something I noticed that is a work around which is that if I play music in the background it never wakes. So basically what I am doing now is having music playing 24/7 and the volume down all the way so I cannot hear it. This is a pretty acceptable work-around but I was wondering if one of you clever folks would maybe have some idea what is going on and why playing music fixes it.
Damage: Screen is cracked in the top left corner where the sensors are, this why I am just assuming is phyically damaged something that.
Current OS: CM 12.1 Nightly.
Tried stock battery + aftermarket battery just in case it was that.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Strange edge lighting behaviour

So I have a really strange thing going on with edge lighting which is driving me crazy.
Whenever I play Elder Scrolls Blades the edge lighting appears but only in the bottom of the screen. As far as I been able to tell this only happens in this app though I can't be 100% sure.
Now what is strange other than it happens only in the bottom of the screen is that it keeps happening every few seconds, there is no notifications received and it happens, if I disable edge lighting it still happens, no matter to what effect I set the lighting it always happens in stock blue.
I can't possibly figure out what is this and I tried everything, any ideas would be appreciated.
Same thing here, in at least 2 games...
Thought it was related to spen, but it seems not...
Tried to disable Game Launcher but still got these random bottom screen notification pulse... And stock blue aswell. Got no clue atm
Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one experiencing this. I tried literally everything and nothing seems to fix it. What's also weird is that the lighting comes in irregular intervals, sometimes just going crazy and sometimes appearing much less.
I have just discovered this issue appears in all games so it's a bigger problem then I originally thought. If disabling the game launcher does nothing then it makes it even more strange and annoying.
Yeah, same here, happens on basically all the games.
Maybe related to game booster?
Let's try to compare our setup : are you using any notification enhancement app? (like aodNotify)
Are you using your spen while playing?
But yeah, this random glow line **** is driving me crazy too!
Currently I am using aodNotify though I tried uninstalling it and the problem persists, I also have goodlock installed and the edgeslighting+, same thing with and without it. I am not using the spen, but I have tried just taking it out while the game is running and leaving it out for 5 mins, no change. I have disabled and enabled the stock edge lighting as well and the problem is still there. Nothing seems to effect it. Its ridiculous
i tried on mobile legend adventure, no problem on it, perhaps a scaling issue?
Will try to tweak full screen mode.
Increasing dpi doesn't change the weird thing, neither switching from Samsung stock launcher to Nova...
Also I'm using gestures based navbar, but I also tried with or without tips display, standard navbar... Still occurring.
Did you go from a scratch Note 10+ or used SideSync to switch? (I was coming from a Note 8)
I don't think it has anything to do with scaling, I tried setting the game on full screen and automatic, both giving the same results.
I used Smartswitch from Note 9.
Later today the camera effect from aodnotify started appearing in the game aswell (landscape mode), along with the edge lighting.?
I uninstalled aodnotify afterwards, found out there is a aodnotify Manager plugin which stays after uninstalling the main app.
Uninstalled the plugin aswell, opened edgescreen from the system app and cleared cache.
It was showing the app was using RAM with high frequency.
I don't have the time to check now does this fix the problem but will let you know once I do.
The only other thing left to do if this doesn't work is to clear edge screen data.
Will try this aswell, and restore all the notifications and edge lightning settings...
What I wrote above didn't work so I disabled the option for edge screen to show on top of other apps, so far this seems to fix the problem.
Unfortunately I was wrong and nothing above fixes the problem. I also wiped the entire edge screen memory, no effect. This is the weirdest thing I ever encountered in my years of Samsung phones and it's extremely annoying that there is no fix.
Strange, I don't have any issue.
Did you try with and without locking the screen orientation to see if edge lightning follows settings as it should?
I personally only use auto orientation.
I also use auto rotation and it happens the same way in landscape and portrait, the most annoying thing is that it happens really much, like 2-3 times in 10 seconds, or sometimes doesn't happen for few minutes then starts going like crazy, and as I said before there is no notifications or anything.
Same here, auto rotate on, only occurring during games.
I don't even know if I can debug which process is running these random edge notifications, without dig into tons of log files...
And if not, I guess I'll try to factory reset and re-sync again..
Its incredible that a factory reset seems like only possible solution left but I hope maybe some future update will fix it since I hate doing factory reset. Please keep me posted if you discover anything new.
Hating doing it aswell but this is too damn annoying..
If no clue, I'll go for a restore without restoring system settings... Maybe some notifications behaviors have been messed up
I'll keep you in touch for sure
Tried to wipe cache partition, still no clues...
Did this also got triggered in portrait mode game?
So confusing...
Yes it happens in all games no matter of the screen orientation. I really have no more ideas aswell
Got some news, another post is talking about this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/help/strange-blue-bar-games-t3963939
Seems related to the new game booster feature "temp and cpu monitoring"
Will try to disable this for a specific game and see...

Verizon: Ever since update last week for my Note 10+, the Message+ app has issues

Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ ... issue is occurring on my wife's phone as well as mine.
I installed the update last week (and then another one late last night). I used Message+ for texting and before whenever I got a text the phone would wake and go to the lock screen and show a preview of the text. Now it just stays on the Always On Display (A.O.D.) screen and only shows the little text icon on the A.O.D.
Also, edge lighting no longer works on the A.O.D. for some apps. Specifically the Message+ app. It worked before this update and now it wont show up when the phone is off/on the A.O.D. screen. It definitely worked before the update.............
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the apps. No fix. I even did a full factory default reset and that did nothing either.......
May be the apps, not optimized for android 10, I am waiting for all these issues to be ironed out before updating

It's been just over 3 weeks now and this issue is still persistent. Unable to find any help online and Verizon people are beyond useless. Ugh...

Does it work with other messaging apps? As for just the icon showing; have you looked at the information being shown on the lock screen and aod? You can edit what is shown detailed, icon only, etc.

Snapchat works fine. Groupme doesnt work neither does gmail. Those I dont care about really it just the text app not working is annoying as hell. I have the lock screen showing "detailed". I dont think there is a "detailed" option for the AOD though? It just shows the icon.
I can live without the edge lighting on AOD for texts but for it not to wake the screen and show me the preview on the lock screen is extremely annoying especially since it has always worked just fine.
I already did a factory reset as well.

It sounds like it's the app. I don't use the edge lighting. Nor do I use the AOD. However I've never had a notification issue. Personally I use Google messages due to the ability of having RCS have you gone into the notifications settings and changed the sound per app? Maybe made sure nothing was turned off. Also check to make sure those apps aren't getting frozen under device care.

Yeah I don't have an answer for you. I haven't had those issues. And don't know what to do help other then a completely fresh set up and see if it helps. If it doesn't. I'd try flashing the software on the phone again through Odin.
