Develop Bugs

Screen sometimes slow to turn on, occasionally freezes when attempting to unlock.

I've only noticed this since running the August security updated and its happened across three ROMs so far (Screwed, Pure Nexus, LOS (No gapps)). Sometimes the screen takes for ever to power up. Once it is up the lock screens responsiveness varies greatly. Not always in the same instance as the screen issue but when unlocking the device it will momentarily freeze. Sometimes locking itself again..
Curious if anyone has seen anything similar.

How are you restoring your apps when you flash a ROM? If you restore them from a Google cloud backup you could be restoring corrupted data that is causing the problem. I had that happen when a utility app completely screwed up the scrolling on my phone. I did a factory reset but restored my phone from a cloud backup and the problem came back exactly the same. The next day I did another factory reset but set up the phone as new and manually downloaded my apps from the Play Store. This time the problem was gone.

I'm not sure if that could cause the same problem but presumably you are restoring app data along with the apps so it might be possible. Have you tried using the phone in safe mode to see if the problem still persists? It seems unlikely that what you are experiencing is a known issue with the August security update since we are more than halfway through the month without anyone else reporting a similar issue.

I run the O preview and immersive mode causes that for me... I'm sure the custom roms are pulling commits that include this bug

Yeah that would make sense if you are seeing the same thing. I may jump back to a known good build and see what happens

I had a very similar issue with tremendous lag in screen on and unlocking.
It turned out to be Kernel related, I was using Kirisakura Harmony Kernel, while it was happening to me, I flashed Franco R8 kernel and all is well.

So I was experiencing REALLLY SLOW screen turn ons. Like it could take 30+ seconds. But the phone was awake as my LED was on, and fingerprint haptic feedback.
When looking for solutions, I found this post. I use Auto Hide Soft Keys, to hide my status bar and nav bar when I dont need them. When disabling (and even after re-enabling), the problem was fixed (for now anyways)
Can you elaborate on this post? Do you have some experience with nav bar hiding causing slow screen turn ons?

Can't press 'Install' when installing an APK

Good evening, just lately I have encountered a bug when trying to install APK's. When I go to install via Package Installer it will open up the screen and when I go to press next it doesn't do anything, I have tried rotating the screen and pressing Next and it just doesn't work whatsoever...
I powered off my device and powered back on and this seemed like it fixed the problem.
Is/has anyone else encountered this? I've also noticed ometimes when typing on the keyboard the sound goes tinny for 5 seconds or so and go back to normal, it's been like this since unboxing too.

I haven't had this issue exactly, but when I install a new app and it asks for permission to access my location/storage/etc.. I can't press Allow.. I can press Deny though no problem at all. Right now I'm manually going into apps/permissions and granting all my apps whatever I think it needs.. Just a pain to do it that way though!

I had this issue the other night. It seems an invisible overlay gets stuck sometimes. Not sure what app or why, but clearing all the recent apps fixed it for me. Try that if it happens again instead of waiting for the phone to restart.
Sent from my G3223

Also had this problem two days ago and restarting seemed to fix it. I was disabling some of the stock apps at the time so I wondered if that had something to do with it but I don't know, don't think I re-enabled any of the apps or anything before or after the reboot and so far it's been working since.

Thanks for your feedback and I have also had that problem too. Of course yes we can go into app settings and enable and like you stated it's a pain haha. I know this isn't the place to point these problems out and get them fixed but it's nice to know I'm not the only one ??

I'd like to mention I have disabled and uninstalled quite a lot too, but I can't say if this adds to the problem. It'd just be really nice to hopefully get the new build of software that was recently announced on Xperia Blog but I can't say if this will fix the problems etc. I don't know? ??

I've experienced this issue as well and the culprit seemed to be an overlay permission from another app. As I'm sure everyone knows, this phone's screen is very bright even at it's lowest setting. I like to read at night and the light bothers my wife so I started using an app called Nightowl that further dims the screen. Nightowl produces a overlay that dims the entire screen. If i happen to be running nightowl and try to install the app, I can't tap install. Once I turn off the app I'm able to install like normal. Hope that helps lead you in the right direction as restarting the phone every time a problem presents itself is kind of a bummer.

Recent apps is not working

My recent apps soft key is misbehaving.
Everytime i hit the recent apps button, my HTC 10 opens up the multi tasking screen rather than the previous apps screen. I was able to intermittently fix the issue by restarting the phone but that doesn't seem to be working anymore.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this ****ty problem?

Uresponsive black screen after updating to Android 10

After updating to 10, a few times a day my phone becomes completely unresponsive. Since the screen is off, I'm not even sure if the phone is powering off. I've flashed the factory image to see if starting clean would fix it, but that didn't work. Anybody else experiencing this?

No, but you may be installing an app that is causing it. Try replicating the issue in safe mode. Ruling that out, if you have done a clean install using the full image (not ota) and allowed it to wipe your data there is not much more to do before contacting Google. A clean install restores your phone to its "out of the box" state. If the problem persists, it is likely hardware related. You can try a factory reset from the stock recovery... that is the first thing they will insist you do before processing an RMA.

I didn't have the issue on Pie and haven't installed any additional apps. It mainly happens after I haven't used the device for a while. It feels like it won't wake up so I have to hold the power button to force a reboot.

Yes.
I was just peaking to a buddy with a 2xl and he is having the same issue since 10.

I have an issue where after about two day of it being on it will start to stutter, and then after a couple hours it reboots itself. It's done it since 10 was released. Never had an issue on 9. Now I proactively reboot it once I notice the stuttering. Kind of sucks since 9 was super stable for me. No new apps, and no settings were changed. Just updated to 10, and it started. Kind of like memory is leaking causing it to stutter/freeze, but the last patch they said they fixed the leak. Guess not.

I just had a random reboot while taking my dog for a walk. Was only listening to SiriusXM. Think I'm going back to Pie until Google gets the kinks ironed out on 10.

https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/14074635?hl=en

Booted into safe mode last night and had to force a reboot this morning to get the screen to respond. This is definitely an issue with 10 and not an app. I'm going back to Pie since having my phone turn off every night is unacceptable, especially since my phone is my alarm clock.

I took the OTA before setting up my new P3XL on A10 and don't have any issues. You might try wiping data then restore apps without data.

I flashed the A10 Oct factory image and wiped data. Still have the issue. The only thing that fixes it is going back to Pie.

So this happened to me twice now since being on 10. My screen would go black while using the phone, and then the phone would be unresponsive, so I would need to force a reboot, but after the Google splash screen it goes into recovery, and this message shows "Could not load Android OS. You can try again, or factory reset.". I did "Try again" both times, and it booted fine. Really irks me since I can't afford to do a factory reset since I use a lot of apps that have special info in them (Like Google Auth App that has many devices I need, and resetting I would have to redo every device). I hope Google can fix these issues with the next update.

I think my issue is due to the sensor bug that was introduced in 10. I have disabled the sensors on my phone and it hasn't froze since!! Hopefully Google fixes on the Nov update.

I'm having the issue that after my screen turns off, after a certain amount of time, I cannot get it to turn back on. The phone is still on, but is unresponsive to my input. I have to hard reset.
I have tried reflashing, and tried disabling sensors. I did not have an issue with the 10 September updated, but since updating to the November update, I had the issue non-stop all day.
Platform-Tools fully updated, not using gesture navigation, but the 2-button.

@MeetFace, yes! Same here since the November update. Something isn't right.

I'm still dealing with the black screen issue. Nov update didn't fix it.
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/143288447

Update, I read in a thread somewhere that disabling darkmode fixed it for one person (rando I know).
I created a tasker script that disables darkmode once the screen shuts off, and enables it when it turns back on. So far, no BSOD this morning (4 hrs)
FWIW

My Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite goes black after using for while after Android 11 update, is this fixable or a bug that I should report?

I got a Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite and it's running on Android 11 since some weeks.
But after it updated to Android 11, it sometimes goes black when I'm using it for a while and I've to unlock it all the time.
It goes black and then returns to the lock screen.
Does anybody else also have this problem and is this a bug that I should report?
I've also a logcat, I think that it will be useful.

Sounds like you have something running that is causing a soft reboot of your phone
I've been using android 11 on this device for a while and not had any such issues

Mine is going back to Xiaomi today, mine keeps going into a boot loop and lasts for 3 hours or so sometimes before it sorts its self out, if I reboot it it just carry's on into boot loop, it often starts this when it is charging, at the moment the phone is unusable, so it is going back for them to check out.

Quick fix would be to factory reset your phone
Long fix would be to do an Adb logcat and record the exact moment your device soft reboots and see what it is but even then it maybe hard to work out what is causing it

I have done several factory resets, it did not improve my phone and the ADB logcat is not something I know about so I have now sent it back, I love the phone but I can't deal with the continued frustration it causes me, I am happy if they fix the issue and send it back to me, if not I would probably purchase another one.
My wife also has this phone (I purchased 2 at the same time) she does not have any issue with hers and we have pretty mush the same Apps and everything on the phones, I have even used her charger to see if that's causing some of the issue..
I will keep you all informed of the out come.

I've readed on Reddit that people experience crashes on their Xiaomi all the time.
So I've updated Webview and I'll let you know if the problem is solved.

There was a bug yesterday that caused Google apps (and others that use Web view) to force close due to a bug in webview. This only effected a specific version of webview and was fixed in a few hours. I didn't notice any such issues on my device but I was using latest beta version.
As long as your webview and chrome is up to date your apps will function correctly (in regards to webview)

I tried that, but that didn't resolve the issue.
I have also done a factory reset but the bug still appears.
I know for sure that there is nothing wrong with my phone, so it must be a MIUI side issue and I'll report that bug to them.
So that means the topic is closed.
Thank you for your help!

If you have done a factory reset and the problem still exists & you haven't installed any other app which could cause a soft reboot without any logs you will never know why it's doing it.
You could also have a hardware fault
It's very unlikely related to MIUI otherwise everyone (or a very high % of users) would also have the same issue and they are not. It's related to your device.
There's only two main bugs with MIUI android 11 on this device
1 - 3rd party launchers gestures & an icon of the app you're using appearing in the top left of screen when closing an app which has a work around of launching the system launcher then switching to 3rd party launcher.
2 - notification layout is incorrect with text too far aligned to the left. This doesn't effect functionality but looks wrong & could slightly crop off the far left of text.

I've done some research, asked the same question at more forums and tried some things and I'm convinced that this is a bug because of these reasons:
- My phone worked perfectly fine on Android 10
- I don't think there is a app that causes this bug because they worked perfectly fine on Android 10.
- There is no chance that there is anything wrong with my device because I'm really careful with it and I didn't done dangerous things for my phone
I'll report it to Xiaomi through Services and Feedback

Ok, if you read my message #7 above I explain about my phone going into reboot and boot looping etc, I have sent it back to Xiaomi on Tuesday, and this morning I have tracked the repair, They Say:
1. Fault category: Electrical - Other
2. Awaiting Component
So my phone obviously has a HARDWARE fault. I am pleased with the speed Xiaomi are dealing with this - so far.

Do you have a messaging widget on your home screen?
Can you remove all widgets from your home screen and then see if your phone continues to restart.
Looks like something is happening when you receive a message and the widget is failing to update
If it's a 3rd party app or launcher with the widget uninstall it

I don't have a widget, I use the default launcher because I can't use Smart Launcher 5 (which I used on Android 10) with gestures.
I use the default time and weather widget from Xiaomi which is linked to the default Weather and Clock app.
I've removed all my widgets from the home screen, I'll let you know if that works.

That is really the only error in your logcat (it also doesn't seem a complete logcat and only a part of one)
As mentioned the logcat needs to be recording at the exact moment the restart happens.
Other things you can try is clearing data of the following
Google services framework
Google
Google play services

I guess I'll try to install Smart Launcher then, and then I'll try the things you advised me.
