OTA 5.1.1 Bugs/Fixes

Just updated to the new OTA 5.1.1 2 days ago. So far I like it and it is very responsive. I do however have an annoying bug that I cannot find a solution for. The blue notification LED flashes even tho I have no notifications except for when screen is on. I have tried to go into settings>Display>LED Indicator to disable the led all together but it has no affect on it whatsoever. Annoying bug? Bad download? Operator Error?
Any Ideas?

Does it only happen in specific apps (like Facebook) or all apps?

It happens regardless of any app. I have cleared the cache, done many reboots, battery pull... I wont have any notifications in the notification bar, I don't have any unread messages or emails, The damn thing still flashes when the screen is off!

If you are stock and no root i would consider either a factory reset/wipe via stock recovery or grab og5 tar from Sam mobile or kies and odin flash to start over.

Nobody ydt tried to see if their animations or gif in stock weather backround is working? Mine hangs. I wiped. I reset a bunch of times. I just Odin too. Still. Lol. Anyone? Im about to flash the freeza stock.

I am having download issues with 5.1.1. When I try and download any file from Chrome it says Downloading but disappears in the notification bar and never downloads...? I rooted and had the same issue. I returned back to stock tar with same issue. Hard Reset with the same issue. Now my Chrome Bookmarks are not syncing at all? I have unknown sources checked if that helps? I can't download any file at all?

can you guys please check which bootloader versions you're using?
wrong bootloader is known to cause these kinds of problems, granted a kitkat bootloader would be much worse than a 5.0.1 with 5.1.1 firmware
edit: also, check your baseband

Been out of the loop for a while, but how do you check the bootloader version?

Galaxy Tools will tell you.
Settings/About phone/Build isn't reliable unless you're flashing full stock like KIES, OTA or Odin full stock tar. Flashing a custom ROM changes the build.prop and it may or may not indicate proper build.

Thank you. It's showing that I'm on OG5 in Galaxy Tools. I guess that means I can't downgrade, huh?

That seems to indicate you updated to OG5. To go back you would have had to Odin flash the modem only update for OG5. Then flash the custom ROM. tx_dbs_tx also released a tar ball for Odin for those wanting to keep the OB7 bootloader but it would be too late if you already updated to OG5 OTA or OG5 full tar in KIES or Odin.
No way to go back from that I know of.

Update for Verizon

I just got prompted for 12a (VS98612A). My update was unsuccessful because I'm rooted.
Apparently there are many updates (over 450 MB).
Here is the only link I could find.
http://phandroid.com/2015/10/09/tou...g-out-a-huge-system-update-that-could-fix-it/

I got the update and seems to have wrecked Google Hangout notifications. Was getting them just fine until after the update.
1) checked notifications were turned on .. they were.
2) messages are coming in only after I check.
3) uninstalled and reinstalled hangouts - no change.
4) wiped cache and reset defaults.

Did it help touch screen issues (if you were having them)?

I'm curious about touch screen issues as well. I did not realize how much it bothered me till I used a samsung phone the other day and not a single miss. It was bliss!

This

I've got sync issues as well after the update. Not happy about this at all. When the lollipop update came on the g3 the same thing occured. Had to disable ipv6 on the phone or get it working properly on a router.
I have not tried a reset yet.

Do we have confirmed fixes for the touchscreen? Or is it just placebo effect right now. I'd love to hear some honest feedback. I'm currently rooted and running xposed but if reverting to stock and taking 12a fixes touchscreen issues it would be worth it for me [as long as root for 12a will be possible ]

For me it's definitely not placebo. Knock on is working great. No problems scrolling now. I got used to it before but now it seems like a new phone. I was getting jealous of my wife's s5 but not any more.

Looks like just the Google acct isn't syncing, still getting notifications via Facebook. A lot of accounts disappeared in the settings -> accounts menu (Facebook , Microsoft)
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

So after a few hours on this update I can tell you that I didn't notice ANY touchscreen misses at all. Also less lag with opening and transferring of big apps. Even tapping the google search bar worked immediately without extra taps or lag. So as much as I like root, it's crazy to figure out what an actual working phone feels like again. Maybe someone will root 12a. Hopefully.
Edit: and no missing account anything on my particular device either.

So if we rooted 11A, do we have to kdz to get the update?

Not yet. That is my next step. Have to wait until Monday because I'm running GOOD Work and will need a new pin after the wipe. I also removed and re-signed in to my Google account. Right now notifications with Hangouts are hit or miss. Sometimes I get them, sometimes I don't, sometimes it takes 5-10 minutes.
As for the touch screen issues. I have noticed a major improvement. Can scroll through FB without clicking a picture or a link unexpectedly. Also, better hits when I'm typing a character using the edge of the screen, letters, numbers, and hitting the send button. Registers every time now. Also, noticed that when connected to bluetooth in the car, the radio displays song information again.
So there are definitely a few improvements I've noticed.

Camera was also updated. There is an actual "slo-mo" button now. It seems like an update with some meat to it.

You could try the super user unroot option and update, probably have to wait for a confirmation to root this version.

Can someone pull the camera apk and upload it, maybe us on 11a can utilize the update.

This update seems to have wrecked all my notifications actually..Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
Seems like its only Google applications..

I can definitely say the phone is much smoother than it was before. No more missed letters while typing, and mistaps whole scrolling. Sucks it took so long to get this update, but the phone is working like it should have from day 1.

Did you remove your Google account and set it back up again?
I noticed after the update I wasn't getting notifications when an email arrived. Disconnecting and reconnecting my Google account fixed that.
Otherwise I feel your pain. Hangouts notifications are still hit or miss.

Google app not working in background after Nougat

Hi all,
After updating my unrooted OP3 to official Nougat, I am noticing that Google app can no longer run in the background. That is, any Google Now or Google search that I do in the phone dissappears from the multi-tasking windows as soon as I navigate away!
I tried clearing Google app's cache, data, opted out of the beta program. Doing so does get the app to run in the background as it should but only for a few minutes before the issue persists.
I reported the issue as a bug to OnePlus days ago but no response yet!
Can anyone help with this please?

try removing google from aggressive dose. go to battery, click the three dots on top right side and you can disable aggressive dose from there.

Thanks.
Aggressive dose isn't enabled.
Actually, I have even tried freezing the app from the multi-tasking windows (clicking the lock toggle at the tip right corner of Google app window) and even that doesn't work.

The lock toggle is useless. Half of the time apps are cleared even after that lock. But still your situation seems quite odd. Are you using updated version and if your rooted you can try uninstalling the app and reinstalling it.

Apps Closing Unexpectedly

I don't know if anyone else is facing this issue but after update, apps close expectedly and it is very very irritating since important data is also lost in some instances. I have reset and cleared cache but nothing has improved.

Make sure you have not applied any theme.
Also turn off the option to automatically close power intensive apps in the battery settings.

Hi all I've this issue too someone have solved?

I have this exact issue. It started after the update to B183 firmware. I've checked all the battery saving settings, did a soft and hard reset, but the issue still lingers. I've called Honor support line and they asked me to hard reset the phone, but I told them that I've already did that. They asked me to take the phone to a repair center but I live in a island and the center is on the mainland.
Ive had an Honor 8 before and had no issues whatsoever with any updates. Honor dropped the ball on this one.

If you can rollback, that will be the best decision

Don't use any custom theme or font.
Also set your screen size to normal.
I too had this problem and did a factory reset. The issue persisted even after the hard reset but was gone in a day.

Screen Flashing When Locked

My screen flashes when the screen locks. It does this for a bit and then just randomly stops doing it, until it starts again. I've contacted Google and they won't let me do an RMA saying it's a known issue and should be fixed in a coming update. Anyway else have this issue?

Well hopefully. Thanks.

Well I'm running the April update and the flashing issue returned today again. Still no fix. Ugh.

Mine started doing it after the April update. I started uninstalling a bunch of apps (like rotation control) thinking it was causing the issue. But nope...

Clearing cache and data, disable, & re-enable helps.

Not happening all the time. Does it for like 10 mins then stops for a week or two before randomly doing it again.

It's infuriating, as people keep thinking I'm taking their photo. Anyone heard anything more about a fix?

Long discussion in Pixel product forum. No fix helped yet. I have heard that Google isn't allowing replacements because of the flashing; which hopefully means that they are working on a fix.

We'll have a new security update in a few days - I have everything crossed!

My XL started doing it today. Think I updated yesterday to the 5 May patch.
Just rebooted and it stopped. But I'm sure it will return

I am on the P beta and so far the screen flickering disappeared.

Same here... Good so far.

Any updates on this? Still good on P beta? I have a brand new 2 xl (Literally 5 days old) and just started experiencing this today. Should I just wait for P to release or should I go back to the verizon store and get a replacement?

I just picked up the XL 2 yesterday and my screen started flashing today. Called Google support and they said it is a software issue and that they are working on a fix for it and will roll it out in an update. Seems rather strange they've heard about this for 6 months and still no update as of yet. My bet is that this "fix" is Android p.
