Hey,
My phone has been randomly vibrating as if I get a notification, which I don't. It will give 2 short vibrations. Last week it's been happening more often. Does anyone know how I could fix the problem?
Thanks!

Now that you mention it, I've had a couple of Phantom Notifications too. Once my phone vibrated while it was even in my hand but when I unlocked it there were no notifications. I went into settings and disabled vibration for a number of system apps and so far I haven't experienced the vibrations yet. It's hard to tell if I've actually fixed it, or if the timing's just random though.

I had done that previously with some system apps, for a while it had gotten down. However, like I mentioned before, it had gotten a lot worse this week. I now turned off the sound and vibration for all (system) apps that I don't notifications from.
I'll let you know whether that fixes it or not.
Unfortunately, it didn't help

I've been using Light Flow for the last couple of days, but as of today my phone will no longer vibrate for notifications. The vibrator itself is perfectly fine - haptic feedback will still work and such and it vibrates on boot.
So, I figured the last Light Flow update that pushed out broke something. I backed up my settings, uninstalled it, rebooted, and expected my notification vibrations to continue working...
They didn't. I have it set to always vibrate both in sound settings and in all of my apps, but nothing seems to be working. I'm at a loss for ideas right now other then a factory reset. I am not rooted or unlocked yet, so I suppose it'd be a good chance to do it, but...
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Aha! I found the fix - for some reason, notification vibrations were disabled SEPARATELY from every other vibration. Like, not even in the apps. The application "Sound Manager" in the market was able to fix this.

Looks like you just beat me to suggesting using the app "sound manager". I refer people to this app after somebody managed to figure that out in the past.
Note lightflow itself only sends notifications to android to vibrate, there's nothing fancy going on regarding switching off vibrations in the app.
Yeah, I figured lightflow probably wasn't directly to blame since uninstalling it didn't fix the problem. I was just really worried about having to deal with a factory reset tonight, but I'm happy now!
Thank You

Thank you for posting this issue and your fix! I was having the exact same issue as you and could not figure out what the culprit was. Downloaded Sound Manager and found out vibration were set to off
Have any of you had problems waking your GN after installing LightFlow? I installed it after seeing this thread, and I can't wake my phone and have to pull the battery.

I just had this problem for the first time... I have lightflow installed.
Just tried Sound Manager V2, and set vibration to "vibrate whenever possible". Now all is well! Disappointing that this setting does not work in Android settings though.
Hi. I bought the Note 8 (Verizon) last week, and everything seemed fine, but then 2 days ago the screen simply won't turn on when I have an incoming call. The phone rings, but the screen won't come on. I have to unlock the phone, and swipe down the notification bar just to answer the call. I've googled around but can't find an answer to this issue for this particular phone. Any suggestions/ideas?
Maybe give a factory reset a go.

I was actually forced to do a hard reset this morning. The phone would NOT come on, no matter what I tried, couldn't even go into Safe Mode. Problem still persists. I'm actually thinking of exchanging it since I'm within the 14 day period.

Hard reset....As in power off and on right? Try booting into recovery mode and deleting cache and data.

I've now performed 2 factory resets, disabled AOD (for testing) and kept it on for other tests...same outcome. The screen will not come on when I have an Incoming call.

I've tossed the screen protector after 1 day because it kept making a clicking sound on the top corner. No case on it.

Tried that-no change. It's hard to believe that this phone has pretty much everything going for it...except turning on the screen for an incoming call.

Factory reset , if no go , replacement.

3 Factory Resets later, booting into Safe Mode, not downloading ANYTHING else, same scenario. Verizon is shipping a replacement to my house, I should have it by Tuesday. The Tech at the Verizon Store actually called my phone so I could show him the lack of screen activation. He said he's never seen this before either.
FIGURED IT OUT! Settings--Display&Lights--Turn off double tap to wake-up to solve issue! ...
This was set somehow, I disabled that and now my phone properly lights up for calls and I can actually answer them.

Another way to fix this is to call yourself on another phone while your Note 8 screen is on. When the call comes in, don't answer but slide down the notification bar and you will see your call. Adjust notifications to not block/be silent.

I went into Settings, Display, but nothing about double tap to wake-up. Samsung runs on AMOLED and that function is on other screens like Sony Xperias.
I do notice another thing going into Notifications settings and I see that the Phone app is Muted. I don't know how to get out of it.
The solution is the person who posted above. You call yourself, and swipe to unblock Silence notifications for your phone app. It's weird how it was set that way, but that's the best solution!
How do I unmute phone call notifications?
Thanks! My incomimg calls now appear on my screen!
I tired the unblock silence notifications and that still has not fixed it as well as a hard reset. Anyone else got any suggestions?
Thanks
Ian
Fix to dark screen on incoming call
Step 1: call youself
Step 2: swipe down on notification bar to view the call(usually how you would answer while dealing with this issue)
Step 3: swipe the call to the right and click the setting wheel.
Step 4: select "do not hide notifications"
Step 5: test call after doing this with the screen off, its should work.

I turned "block accidental touches" off.
That worked for me!
THANKS
I've been having issues with touch responsiveness off and on for the last two weeks or so, and I'm wondering if somehow the last security patch could have caused it. Like, I will be typing with the swipe and it will stop halfway through a word and spit out random stuff, or sometimes I have to pull a few times to bring down my notification bar
Everything's ok for me. Are you using a glass protector?
No such issue here either, I don't use a screen protection.

I am using a glass screen protector, but I've had it since I had the phone
I'm having the same issue. And of course, it's not doing it now as i swipe. Happens more when i type.

I have noticed something similar. My issues has been like this since I got the phone and upgraded to 8.1. I heard of others also making this complaint after the fist update to 8.1.
For me... When I try to silence a call it will not let me swipe down on the end button. Unlocking can also be a challenge.

I use a pattern and sometimes getting to that can be an issue.
The only problem I've noticed, and I'm not positive this is from the OTA, my Gear S3 stopped vibrating and showing notifications from Android Messages. It was literally the day or the day after I took the OTA. But, who knows. All other SMS apps seem to work fine though.
I still haven't unlocked and rooted mine yet, so I'm hoping by doing so maybe this issue will disappear. Lol at least it doesn't seem to be just me. Though I'm glad to have this issue and not one of the other, worse issues I've heard of people having ?
I'm unlocked with root...
I have screen touch issues. Answering or declining a call is frustrating.
I get it still when I try to swipe away a notification or if i'm pulling down the Notification shade to access the quick toggles, it goes up and i gotta pull it down like 4 times to get it to stay
Yeah I've noticed this as well, have issues answering and rejecting calls and typing on the phone the touch screen responsiveness is off. Hopefully they fix this and the battery drain issue in the March update, because you know we wont get an update before March 5th lol. Also noticed my Gear S3 doesn't receive notifications properly anymore, tried factory resetting the watch and the phone and no resolution unfortunately.
I noticed this both on factory 8.1 image AND on DU RC22 Rom.
Once in a great while, usually when playing a game, I have to tap twice to get a recognized touch, especially near the edges.
Probably 5-10 times a day when wearing my bluetooth headset I get the notification sound that goes off.
I've gone through about every setting that I can.
The sound is the notification I have chosen in settings. I changed it and when I did the sound changed to the new one. I can't figure out any way to tell what this is or turn it off.

So do you wait to hear the noise and check what the latest app was? And then what do you do? Thanks.

Pretty much it, then you can identify the culprit app and deal with it accordingly. Whether that's uninstall or turn off the notifications of that app.
Its a strange deal never seen this before. I got two recent notification sounds a little bit ago through the bluetooth and went to look at the logs on the app and nothing was active in the last 10 minutes. So, I really don't know how to identify the app or what the constant notification is from.
I show no notifications in the top area of the phone and the app says nothing was happening right when the sounds happened.
Nothing has stopped this. About once an hour I get my chosen notification sound that goes off in my bluetooth headset and as far as I can tell there is no notification associated with it. Just a random sound.
I have searched around and stumbled on a page where they were talking about com.qualcomm.qtil.aptxui
Is that something that can give me random notifications?
I am not entirely sure if I'm tripping, but I seem to be missing phone calls pretty damn often. I think I recall at one point I randomly grabbed my phone to have it by me and noticed that someone was calling me but it wasn't ringing at all, though the screen did light up. I made sure my settings do have have "Do Not Disturb" mode on. I have the CPH2451 and running stock with latest OTA A.10 update. After doing a brief Google search, I see that OnePlus has had issues in the past but those are from the OnePlus3 and OnePlusNord so I am not sure if that's still relevant in this day and age.
Anyone experiencing something similar or have any clues as to what might be going on?
Edited: Fat fingered the model #. Fixed.

This might be obvious to you, so just ignore if you know this.
When holding your phone in your hand like you're texting in portrait mode, there's a switch top right and on side of phone.
Adjust the switch so it's down.
Ive experienced this, even after swapping to 2449.
Seems theres a couple settings that revert on reboots for some odd reason.
Just go into the phone app settings, notifications and reset thr ring tone and all set after 2 times doing it ... annoying?? damn right!... but at least its fixable ....

That's so dumb... The more I use this phone, the more I get buyer's remorse.
I haven't restarted my phone since I got it I think but I'll try that and see if the issue persists. Thanks!
Edit: Any word if OnePlus is aware of this and plans on fixing it? If not, perhaps I should forward this to them.

don't know if they are aware. just to add to the weirdness of it... for me... after the second time, the setting sticks...
i have this problem with my 8 pro, the phone doesn't ring and i think it goes straight to VM? seems like something broke with one of the latest OP updates?
There's no such version as CPH2541.
And here it works perfectly. Factory reset and try again.
