Applications not working properly - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi, I just bought this phone a couple of days ago and I have a few problems.
First of all, I am using Lawnchair Launcher because I couldn't deal with having only 4 apps on a row but I don't think this influence my problems. The problems that bother me are that any clock widget I try to use always remains behind the in-built clock on the notification bar while the alarms seem to show random times. I have to point out that I tried about 6 or 7 different ones and they all end up doing this.
The second problem is that I installed Navbar Apps because having a white navigation bar in almost every app is annoying and I wanted it black. However, if I don't let it stay open in the task manager ( or whatever is called the thing where you see all recent opened apps ) it stops working. Furthermore when I open the app it says "Detection of running apps is disabled.", I press Enable, the phone takes me to the Accessibility settings but the app is already enabled. I already tried to change the battery settings and in the Installed Apps settings but it doesn't change anything. I hope somebody smarter can enlighten me.
Thanks and have a great day!

[Q] Strange behaviour of HTC widgets (stacked on top of each other)

Something funny, don't know if anybody has seen this....
On my main screen I have the WiFi & Mobile widgets from HTC.
on the third screen (swipe to the right) i have those widgets in exaactly the same location.
But no wthe funny thing..... I was having trouble with my mobile data connection so i wiped the phone. Then i put the widgest on the same place and everything is working fine. I try to repair my mobile data connection in various ways so plenty of reboots.
Then i decided to see hwat's going on inside and i installed logcat. After doing this, the widgets didn't respond anymore. I could tick them but they would not change. However i could see wifi coming on in the status bar so every thing seemed to work execpt for the widget itself beeing updated.
Getting bored with the widget I decided to remove the widget. But after removal, another one (on the same position) was still visible. I removed that one too. Exactly the ssame happened with mij mobile widgget.
I have seen this "stacking of widgets on top of each other" so far with the contacts widget, agenda widget, wifi widget, and mail widgets......
Has anybody seen this.
So my phone was in working order again couple of reboots later i decided to install bugreport to again see what was going on insid ethe log...
Same behaviour.....
I Deinstalled them and have not seen this behaviour again..... but i wonder what's causing this behaviour
some times when I close services / apps etc.. system ones.. I get wigits on top of each other on one page , I thing scroll to the next page .. lock my phone ,,, and unlock it.. everything is back to normal ...

[Q] Lockscreen icons not working, PLEASE help

I have a weird problem, a few days ago I could not turn off the morning alarm because the icons in the lower bar (turn off and snooze) just couldn't be pulled up. I thought I was just too sleepy but I later realized that I can't use the lockscreen shortcuts either. The phone registers the touch but the icons just don't move upward. Also can't decline a call because of this.
Everything was fine the day before this happened, there were no system updates, no settings changed. The phone is running on stock rom, Android 4.2.2, Sense 5.0. No matter what settings I change I can't get it to work again, tried searching google and xda and found nothing similar. If I try to use the lockscreen shortcuts multiple times and then go to the app drawer and just scroll up and down sometimes a random app opens, most often messaging or mail, like it registers the lockscreen command only then. This is so annoying, does anyone know what I can try to eliminate this problem? I wouldn't like to try flashing a custom rom because I don't have any experience and am otherwise satisfied with stock system. Please excuse me if my questions are in any way stupid, I'm just a noob
I still can't find a fix for this, is there really nobody else with this problem?
Now I decided to hard reset the phone to fix this...yeah right, the shortcuts still don't work!

List of bugs I have experienced

I've been using the OnePlus 3 for a couple days now and I have started to notice some bugs. I'm going to use this thread to document them and track whether or not they are fixed with updates. Unfortunately, bugs in Oxygen OS were the main reason I decided not to keep the OnePlus 2 last year, so hopefully I don't discover any more than I already have. These were all discovered in Oxygen OS 3.1.2, completely stock and not rooted.
1) If you open the dialer app, go to its settings, and select "Sounds and vibration", it kicks you back to the main part of the app instead of letting you change the sound and vibration settings.
2) This morning I woke up and noticed that my alarm didn't go off at 6 AM. When I looked at my phone, the time in the status bar showed 6:33, the time when I swiped down the notification shade showed 6:55, and my clock app (Google Clock) seemed to think it was about 5:37 based on telling me my 6 AM alarm would go off in 23 minutes. Three different times, WTF? I restarted the phone and now everything seems to be working correctly, but that was weird and disturbing.
3) When I turned on my bluetooth speaker this morning (Bose SoundLink Color), it kept telling me "OnePlus 3 connected" over and over about every 5 seconds until I started playing a podcast from the phone. The speaker has never done that with any other phone.

That's very disturbing. It should literally never do that. Like it should have a dedicated clock circuit that would alarm even if your phone battery dies. My Sony Ericssons as far back as I can remember would turn themselves off from low battery and still come on to alarm.
Wow, that clock bug is a deal breaker.
Hmm, I wasn't sure if I slept through my first alarms or if there was an issue with the phone. That may explain it..
I tried to replicate #1 but could not. No issues for me.
Are you on 3.1.2?

#1 works for me too. I'm on 3.1.2.
Can anyone else confirm the clock bug? Mine hasn't arrived yet

Yeah. 3.1.2. I am using a custom ringtone that I moved over from another phone into the Ringtones folder, so maybe that's part of that one.

I can confirm the first bug
My alarm did go off this morning at 7am, when it should have done.
I'll test Bluetooth in my car - I've an FM transmitter.
Can we report these to OnePlus?
#1: no bug here
I've noticed the clock acting really strange, too!

#1 (sound settings for phone) bug in 3.2.1
In phone just received -
Set a custom ring tone (mp3 file). Now can not go to settings "Sounds and vibration"
Kernel version from Jul 5th 2016
How to solve this?
#1 i have it too
#2 never had a problem with any build. I have had the device since June 30th.
1 can be solved by giving the phone app permissions to storage
Go to apps press the mechanic icon and go to access permissions, select storage turn on the switch for phone....

Home and recents buttons not working

A very strange thing happens to me today.
My Pixel XL 128 (never rooted, with bootloader locked and running the lastest official Oreo) suffered a soft reboot when I clicked a YouTube link in the notification shade. After that, I ended up with home and recent buttons, not performing their actions. They still vibrated and the Home button kept the animation. The status bar did not showed notifications, even when they arrived (notification sounds continue to ring), and notification shade pulldown stops working. No mobile network either.
Has anyone else faced this thing?
I had to factory reset (through settings) to use my phone again.
The exact same thing happened to me today. I too am not rooted, all oem, 128gb too, have phone since January, upgraded to oreo several days ago.
Today, I was about to open an email from the notification shade, then the phone rebooted itself on its own, now after the reboot I am limited and can only use the back button. Home and Recents buttons are registering my touch (they both vibrate when I press them) but they don't do their jobs. And what's also strange is that before this happening I had 'vibrate on touch' off. Furthermore, I also can't bring down the notification shade past the first step where it shows the quick settings icons,and notifications no longer show up in the notification shade - it's always clear at the top. When I go into settings>developer options, it says 'this user has no developer options (something like that).
I went to Google's support chat via phone and they couldn't help me either, the same behavior in safe mode, only back button works. I asked support if they could help me troubleshoot the problem without having to do a factory reset and they ended up going down that street and said it's the only thing they could recommend to do.
Any recommendations?
Yep same thing has happened with me as well. I didn't factory reset but I did have to do a reboot for my buttons to work again. Also I get a lot of reboots when I'm using PiP for about 5 mins.

Exact same symptoms for me on a Nexus 6P with Oreo.
Same happened to me. Stock Pixel XL, 128GB, Oreo. Even applied the latest September update but no dice.
Do the "Nova Launcher" fix.
1. Install Nova Launcer. nb. Play Store not installing anything for me, so downloaded the apk with Chrome (google for Nova Launcher.apk).
2. Allowed from unknown Sources
3. Opened Nova from App drawer (or can set as default launcher).
4. Hold down on empty space -> Widgets -> scroll the bar across to Activities. Hold down and drag onto home screen somewhere.
5. Scroll down to Setup Wizard and hold down on "SetupWizardUpgradeActivity".
6. Complete the setup options and candy!

Interesting. That's fixed the UI issues in their entirety, and Developer Options are now available again too. And apps are once again downloading and installing/updating from Google Play. I wonder what on Earth got wedged and how? Bizarre.
Thanks again.
I got the same with my stock XL 128 seemed to just happen for no reason, after messing around with none of the bottom buttons working the square changed to two rectangles on top of each other as the screen went split screen again for no reason after that I could press the "recent" now split screen button to get the options up to select what I wanted on the second half of the screen when I canceled out of that everything was normal.
seems to be a problem with the picture in picture or the split screen, I don't know how I got into it or out of it but just messing around eventually did it for me. it did have me worried at first as at the time I was in google maps and couldn't get out or even use google maps, the bottom buttons reacted as if they worked but ultimately did nothing until the recent button changed.

Apparently it thinks initial setup is running (or maybe it is in background). During setup it stops you from pressing home, or switching apps, or doing anything of significance. I guess running the setup to completion clears that flag.

Same here: Needed reboot to get "recent apps" button working (although it did "light up" when i used it).
THANK YOU!
I've had a lot of Google phones issues lately and woke up to this and was getting ready to be annoyed all day. Super easy fix as I run Nova Full anyway!

You my friend are amazing. Google were absolutely useless, this fixed the problem and introduced me to Nova, double bonus
Thank you - Just the solution that I was looking for.
Thank you! I registered at xdadevelopers just to say that. I too did not want to do a factory reset and the change User to Guest option was not available. I also tried the enable screen lock to Pattern and rebooted.
Going to Nova Launcher and following your instructions to a T fixed the issue.
Grateful for your effort and time.

Hi, I've tried downloading Nova and Nova Prime, so desperate with this issue, I paid for it. Of course, it won't download, when I hit install, I get "install pending" or "downloading" this is going on for 4 days now. Please help!!!!
had my screen freeze again today with it being non responsive, it seems to be every time I leave chrome open and chuck it in my pocket, forcing the phone off and turning it back on fixed the problem this time, no clue what is going on with it as it only seems to happen with chrome.
You need to download the apk file through chrome, not through the google play store.
I have to say, thank you for posting that solution! I had this exact thing happen to my phone today, no idea why, but it sure was annoying!
All the same stuff happened to my Pixel XL original. Even lost "ok Google" spoken activation of assistant, and the night light failed to operate even though turned on in settings. Followed Google's advise and did the factory reset. Worked for about 3 days then bang, soft rebooted on its own while switching apps, and then all problems returned. Had the phone for just 6 months so Verizon sent me a replacement. Will see if it holds up. I told Verizon that if it fails again I want a Pixel 2!!!

Default app status keeps getting forgotten

My phone keeps asking me to reselect my home app. The only home apps installed are Nova 7 and the stock app. I can live with this, but it's a nuisance. Suggestions?
I have the same issue after using the launcher without any issues for two years. The annoyance started with one of the latest nova updates.
I have to tell NovalLauncher 7 to be my default launcher over 10 times a day. All the usual re-install, clear cache, "make it the default through the settings menu" things don't fix it.
Look at this post!
Nova Launcher Loses Default Status On Reboot
The thread title says it all. This is driving me absolutely insane. On reboot, probably about 70% to 80% of the time, OnePlus launcher gets magically put on default status over Nova on reboot. The same problem would occasionally happen on my 8...
