I have an issue with my S9 + and edge lighting. The effect works like it should but when I get a text message and unlock the phone, the screen is unresponsive to any touch for about 5 seconds until the edge lighting stops then tapping the screen works again. I narrowed it down to the lighting effect. If I turn the effect off and get a text message immediately after unlock I can open my messaging app or use any of the touch functions. Turn edge lighting back on and boom 5 second delay to open anything after unlocking from a text message notification, even the Back Home and Recent touch buttons do not respond during this time. This is a stock ROM tried with both stock and 3rd party messenger apps.

For some odd reason whenever I get a message with GOSMS and the message pops up in the middle of the screen or I use the menu button or Notification bar when Im on home the screen flips upside down..Is this a glitch or normal ? If Normal how Do i stop it ?
As many of you know, this annoying bug still isn't fixed in any AOSP rom for the G3 after all this time. For me, it's worse than the slightly worse camera issue, because after a few days, I always give up and go back to stock because it's really annoying when, for example, I have to make a call in a hurry and this happens, very frustrating.
Some findings about it:
- Doesn't happen in all the calls, seems to be random, but longer calls seem to produce the bug more frequently
- Enabling touch feedback in dev settings shows what the problem is: there's a ghost touch present on the screen (sometimes more than one) after taking the phone from our face, which makes it seem the screen is being pressed while it's not in reality
- Swiping the screen with 2-5 fingers in any direction makes those ghost stucked touches go away
- Brightness is decreased when this happens
Possible fixes I tried and none worked:
- Enable immersive mode for the dialer and disabling swiping on the status bar to change brightness - makes the brightness bug go away but not the stuck screen.
- Disabling proximity sensor in calls - works, but the screen is still on, sometimes I disconnect the call with my face by mistake.
- Some combination of llama or tasker profiles - Could work but I don't know how to. My solution would be "when in a call, and turn off and lock the screen - then, when we take the phone off our face, turn on and unlock the screen. This would theoretically work, don't know.
So, any ideas?
I normally use an app called Glimpse, but sadly it seems to have no effect on Miui when it comes to showing notifications on the lock screen.
So I am using the built in screen on function in Miui 10, it works well all except for me not been able to extend the light on time from the default 8 seconds to something more like 30 seconds.....basically to give me enough to notice the screen has lit up and to be able to have a peek at the screen before the screen goes off again.
I am facing this issue with my Samsung A50, when I lock or when the timeout occurs the phone doesn't unlock or touch, face unlock or anything doesn't work or appear on the screen as it becomes pitch black with everything working in backgound.
One thing to note I can hear notification sound and call ringtone after it goes black.
Things I tried:
Changing all settings with my Display like Brightness, Always-On display, Screen Timeout (Max timeout is 10 min in this phone), Battery mode (tried each of them).
Putting face Unlock so it can unlock the phone when it's blacked out.
Changing all different types of locks.
Changing the launcher.
Even factory reset+wipe the cache memory didn't work.
It's not in warranty.
I have to restart it every time to make the reappear the screen again.
Is it rooted ?
I'd grateful if someone could explain the Edge Lighting and why it doesn't work on One UI 3.0/3.1. I always thought Edge Lighting is a light indicator left on WHEN YOUR SCREEN IS OFF (like an LED notification) indicating you already received a Call/Text/Etc since you last touched your phone. I don't know why the Edge Lighting settings are located inside the Brief Popup Notifications settings because Brief/Detailed popup settings are not specific to Edge Lighting or the AOD blackscreen. Doesn't make sense.
This is what I have:
-Brief Popup Notifications - ENABLED (all apps selected),
-Edge Lighting - BASIC DESIGN
-Show even while screen is off - ENABLED
-AOD - SHOW ALWAYS
And when I get a missed phone call/text while the screen is off, the lock screen displays the notification panel there for a few secs and then goes off again. NOTHING on the AOD/black screen during or after the call. I get a tiny blue handset icon below the clock on AOD indicating missed call. Even if the phone is turned over... NOTHING. Does NOT make a difference if Detailed Popup Notifications enabled (Edge Lighting OFF).
Since this is no longer working or the way I expect, how do you tell if you received a call/text/etc if you were away from their phone by glancing at it? Is AODNotify or similar 3rd party app the only alternative? Thanks.
Moved from a Xioami to a Fold3 and I'm wondering the same. Is it so difficult?
But... let's say I could live with brief pop up the way it's implemented, my question is: why brief popup works with some apps (Whatsapp, messages, LinkedIn) and doesn't with others (Gmail, outlook)?
