So I installed the IE / PIE toggle app. (IEToggle). Having problems w/ PIE though.
When I enable PIE, tapping and holding does not bring up the context menu like it's supposed to. Instead, tapping and holding does nothing. Also, if I slide the keyboard open while PIE is open, PIE either crashes or closes (like when you tap its "X" in the quick menu).
Anyone have any remedies?
I have run into a strange behaviour with my Z2.
I've now tried 2 cleanly flashed ROMs (AICP and RR) and with both I get the exact same issues:
Every now and then U-touch functions seem to reset to some predefined actions without the settings itself being changed nor is the keylayout file changed:
Tap is back, press does nothing, double press opens camera, swipe left does nothing, swipe right opens menu. Screen rotation stops working as well and advanced reboot options are gone as well. There might be other issues as well but when ever I run into the previously mentioned issues I just restart the phone and all settings are back to normal.
What could be causing this? It does not seem to be a hardware issue per se, as I would imagine the touch button would to stop responding altogether. Now it just resets to some weird predefined actions.
Could this be about the baseband ppl seem to be mentioning everynow and then?
I've attached screenshot of my baseband.
This has something to do with the "system profiles". I have been using them once I understood how handy they are.
I just got the bug again when my profile changed from "default" to "home". I changed back to default and disabled the whole profile system and my screen started to rotate and u-touch actions returned to those that I have set.
Is this "system profiles" thingy a CM/LOS feature? Where should I nag about this?
This is indeed a LOS14 issue.
Faster workaround than rebooting is to switch wifi off ( or what ever is the trigger u got) and lock and unlock the phone one time normally and then activate wifi to enable "home" profile again.
I have Samsung Galaxy S5 Model 900T (klte)
Lineage OS 14.1 November 23, 2017
API Level Guava (7)
Security Patch Level Novembefr 6, 2017
Baseband Version: G900TUCU1GQC2
Kernel Version 3.4.113-lineageos-g746d931
Build Number: lineage_klte-userdebug 7.1.2 NJH47F-c26202ea25
The phone randomly switches to the split screen mode, usually when I am opening apps or using them (eg. ES File Explorer, Blue Mail, Google Search, Cloud Library, IHeart Radio app). I hear a short vibration, then the phone switches into split screen mode.
I have tried an app called MultiWindow Toggle but this does not solve the problem.
I have tried to switch the function of the short press of the recent button to no action and the long press of the recent button to recent apps switcher, but this makes the phone switch to the recent apps switcher.
I don't know if this is a hardware issue or a software issue, and if the latter, is it the os or some of the apps? Does any one have any guidance for how to solve this issue? It is very intrusive, and I really like the Lineage OS.
Thanks for any help that can be offered.
Sounds like a Hardware issue. Can you deactivate the button and activate software nav bar?

I managed to modify the file named build.prop using some instructions I found online. It did activate the software nav bar. I expected it to disable the hardware buttons, but it did not. I still had the same problem.
I had to go into the settings for lineage and set the "recents" button to do nothing on short press and nothing on long press. The leftmost button on the nav bar now does nothing as well. The phone still vibrates a short blast randomly, but does not switch. The right most button on the software nav bar the one with the rectangle face, that one activates the task switcher now. The rightmost hardware button still acts as a "back" button, I want that function so I will leave it as is. I can live with that. I don't know a way to activate the split screen in this configuration, but I can live with that as well. Both the hardware home button and the center button on the software nav bar do the same thing now. I would like to be able to program the nav bar to do what I want it to do, is there a way to do that. If not, I can live with this.
Thanks for your help.
Anybody else having issues with the pixel screen not turning on? I get haptic feedback when I touch the screen but the screen doesn't come on. I have to hold down the power button to reboot. It only does it every now and then, I think it's the immersive mode that's causing it.
I am using double tap to lock (Nova Prime) and double tap to wake (settings > system > languages, inputs and gestures),
and once in a while, my double tap to wake (I presume during deep sleep) takes several taps to register.
I'm having the same issue too. Haven't found a solution yet.

I'm using Nova Prime too, but not the DTTL feature, and I'm not seeing this issue. I am using the DTTW in Settings (8.1). Have you tried toggling off DTTL in Nova for a while? Stranger things have happened.

I'm not using Nova' DTTL, just DTTW in settings. Also using immersive move with system tuner. Not quite sure why i can't get it to wake when it happens. Ambient display turns off and its just a dark screen. Fingerprint reader registers because you can feel the vibration, but the display remains off. I tried flashing 8.1 again and reinstalled magisk, but the issue is still there. happens randomly.

I believe there is a problem with Oreo and immersive mode. I had the same thing happen to me. Screen would go black if I pushed the power button but finger print scanner worked as you could feel the vibration. Also if you press lock again you get the screen lock sound.

Remove Magisk manager and remove Root entirely. Rooting is what caused it for me, I guess I had an older version of Magisk manager installed so I went to the official Magisk thread and downloaded and installed the latest Magisk manager app then flash the Magisk zip file via twrp and I haven't had a problem since

Thanks I appreciate the help. I ended up going back to stock. The issue got progressively worse.
I too have this issue, I'm almost positive the phone does this when when the screen times out. If I press power button to turn it off I never have the issue. I only think that's what causes it but i think there's more to it, like having magisk and being rooted. Just assumptions. I also noticed that when this happens Android thinks the screens on, I have an app that lets me use active edge to turn on flashlight and it turns light on even though the screen isn't actually on. Even in battery settings it shows my sot being higher than it should.
I experienced the issue. I did have the immersive mode, rooted with magisk, edge sense, and was using substratum. After I installed an up to date module for edge sense in Magisk manager, I haven't seen it since. I think it's the previous outdated Magisk module that's doing it. Could be the base Magisk module as well.
Same issue here... very frustrating. I dropped $6 on this launcher primarily for just the tap to sleep / wake feature on my Pixel 2 XL and can't wake it. It's locked in a deep sleep. I'm forced to press the power button once and then it just wakes to ambient screen on double tap afterwards. THEN...double tap again to wake. Did I just waste my money? Anyone get a solution to this yet?
I just want to add that I have the same issue but I'm not rooted. Using an immersive mode app. Really hoping this isn't an issue on P.

I've solved this issue for me. I'm using Navigation Bar Hider from the Play Store to force immersive mode. I had to deselect the system UI-type apps from the NBH settings. Since I did that I haven't had any issues waking up the phone. I basically deselected all of the system apps then went back and selected things like Chrome, Calendar, etc.
Me too... With inmersive mode but only when have less of 10-15% of battery .....

Just got my new (refurb) 2 XL. I would like to try to go stock android on this for a while.
Is there any way to achieve the one feature I cannot live without: long-press power button for flashlight?
I don't think so. You can quickly access it via the notification shade of course. You can set a swipe down gesture on the fingerprint sensor to call the notification shade. You should also be able to turn the flashlight on with voice commands, even with the screen off.
The above are only suggestions for workarounds, but I may have missed something.
I have a sloppy way I do it on 8.1 that uses Automagic and the volume key shortcut in Accessibility Settings. Tasker probably works too.
Turn the shortcut on, select a service. I selected a launcher I don't use. Note that this toggles the accessibility features of an app, so don't use something that needs this. Click to enable it on lockscreen.
Now when you hold both volume buttons for 3 seconds, the system notifies you the service has been toggled. Finally I have a flow in Automagic that triggers when this pops up and from there toggle the flashlight. It even works when locked IF the screen is on.
I use a similar method to customize the Active Edge thing.
Locked on Verizon. Have to be creative

This is probably the best option a double tap
Torchie app
