Can anyone reproduce this bug? - Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers

Prob just my phone. Could it be the August update? I am on Aug 1 rooted.
Press settings, Apps & notifications, all apps. When I select any app, it instantly clicks Force stop unless Force stop is grayed out for that app. Some apps can loop. Google G board.
Might have to do a clean install.

Strange, I plugged in the charger and problem is gone.
I had battery saver on. Hmmm

Home button continues pressing?

I've had this issue before on my LG Power (Straight Talk branded LG Leon), running on Lollipop 5.0. No matter what I look for I can't find anyone who's experienced similar issues.
It just happened last night on my 5-day old Nexus. I could not open any of my folders to access apps. As soon as a touched a folder, it briefly showed the animation to open it, and it immediately closed. Whenever I selected a widget or the app drawer, they would immediately close as well. When I attempted to swipe down the notification/quick settings shade, they immediately closed themselves. Turning off the screen resulted in the screen immediately turning back on, albeit locked. I was even having trouble turning the device off because the 'Power Off' menu would disappear right after it popped up. Eventually I was able to time it right and was able to power off. Since I restarted I have not have any issues.
Any idea what gives? I'm unrooted, locked bootloader, everything 100% stock, running MM 6.0.1.
the only explanations i can come up with are:
-accidental touching the area in some way (unlikely)
-getting some substance stuck on the screen in that area (unlikely)
-a faulty touch panel (unlikely and very specific defect)
-a hickup in the software (again unlikely)
then again, if the OS (for whatever reason) thinks the home button is pressed, on default it should not only pull you back to the homescreen, but continue and send you right through to google. the conclusion of which would be, that this UI area is triggered repeatedly rather than continuously.
keep an eye out for what could have triggered it in case it occurs again.
check your settings what build exactly you are running (settings -> about phone -> build number).
ans lastly, if it happens again, you should still be able to hold your power button to hard-reboot it (no further interaction with the UI required).

Try to clean your screen also with a towel
That is extremely weird. It really sounds like a faulty digitizer, but you'd be the first... Maybe it's a rogue app, but unlikely.
Were you doing something before this starts to happen?
I haven't noticed any consistent apps or behaviors when this would occur. This most recent time, I was low on battery (10%) and I had just flipped on my data.
fyi. you could also just press and hold the power button, for 10 secs, for a reboot ( might come in handy when the screen isn't working properly).

appreciate the tip! I'll keep this in mind if it happens again.
Finally was able to capture a video. The issue occurred after I was playing around with Open Camera and it crashed. Holding down the power button didn't work when this glitch is happening.

What's the icon on the lock screen, top right in the status bar? That behavior is unusual if it's not a screen defect. Are you using any apps that monitor battery, a task killer, or maybe a security monitor app?

The icon is a picture for my user profile on the phone.
I don't use anything like that. I had Clean Master installed briefly but it's been uninstalled for a couple of days now.
so it seems like this issue pops up whenever the camera crashes. happens occasionally when using the camera shortcut (double power tap) or in an app that uses the camera.
It's got to be software IMO. It didn't happen when you went to Google Now and your Recent Apps. I'd try uninstalling the Open Camera app first. Do you have Face Unlock active by chance? After that I'd FDR...

right, that's what's confusing me. i did a factory reset last week, set up the phone as a new device. haven't installed a new camera app, just the stock google camera. the issue occurred again last night when using an app called Shopkick, which accesses the camera but crashed.

How to Disable Screen Wake for Ring app

Hey all, my ring doorbell app wakes the screen anytime I get an alert. I want to keep the notifications on but don't want the screen to wake. It wakes even in my pocket which I want to of course avoid. It may just be a bug in the app but I should be able to limit that from happening. Or so I hope anyway.
I have tried the following.
1. Switched all notifications pertaining to the app and individual cameras to "sound only"
2. In the app I have disabled "alerts open full screen video"
3. I have disabled heads up notifications globally through ADB.
4. Disabled ambient display.
5. Disabled notifications on lock screen.
I'm at a loss on what to do next. Any ideas are appreciated at this point.
TIA

I've struggled with the same thing for months. It never used to do it, but after an update earlier this year it became the new normal for me.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. Hopefully somebody chimes in with some sort of work around.
I'm having the same problem with a Sony XZ1 phone (Android 8.0.0). I spoke with Ring at length and it's 'apparently' a problem with my phone, not their App.
I think that's a load of rubbish and something they need to address and fix. I installed the App on another Android phone running an earlier version of software, the App installs with different options and doesn't wake up the screen. So it's obviously dependent on the OS version but as other Apps don't have the same problem I can only conclude that it's an issue with the Ring App.
Has anyone tried uninstalling the app and then install an older version from APK mirror? Not even sure its on there but it's worth a go

That's a great idea. There are plenty of versions to try on APK mirror, one or two per month from 2018. Not a good sign for a reliable and stable app.
I'll give it a go later unless anyone gets there first and can suggest a 'good' version to try
Were you able to find an older version that doesn't have the screen wake behavior?
edit: Pixel 2 - going back to 2.0.66.8 still has the screen wake behavior regardless of notification setting.
edit 2: 2.0.57.2 does the same thing...
Looks like the latest ring version finally let's you fix this. Select your devices, go to notification settings, then select sound only. The default is sound plus pop up. I no longer have the issue after making the change.
Can anyone confirm if turning off the 'plus pop' in the ring app settings works? I have a new pixel 3 on Android pie and the app is still turning on the screen at every alert event with settings set to just sound or just silent.
I'm having the same issue with the ring app. It wakes the screen. Really sucks when phone is in my pocket. I have tried every option and or combo of options. I have a pixel 3a on Android 10. Android 10 does have a option to wake screen for notifications found under display advanced, lock screen. But it is turned off
Still a problem on Android 10, No combinations of settings has been able to stop this for me. Of course Ring denies this even though I have sent a logcat to them.

[HELP] Mate 20 No notification or delay until screen is on

Hi guys,
There is 10-15 mins delay or no notification at all from some third party apps until I press the power button to turn on the screen - not unlock, just turn on.
It mostly happens to Gmail and the Reolink App for my security cameras.
After I turn on the screen I can receive real time message from these two apps for a while but soon goes back to how it was before.
Things I have done but doesn't help:
1. Enabled “Stay connected when device sleeps” in battery setting.
2. Set apps to "Manage Manually" in App Launch
3. Enabled all notification for Apps.
4. Set "Don't Optimise" for Apps in Battery optimisation
I even followed the instruction below provided by @klaus27 to disable PowerGenie but it is still behaving in this way.

I really dont have any idea now can any one please help me out? Thanks in advance.

Galaxy S20 delayed push notifications.

Hello all,
I have recently come back to Android from iPhone.
I am having delayed push notifications specifically from my Reolink wireless security camera.
Currently working with Reolink Support and have tried the following with no luck:
Solution: Please avoid turning on the Battery Saver Mode when using Reolink App.
Solution: Go to Apps -> Configure apps -> Battery optimization -> All apps, and then disable battery optimization for the Reolink App.
Solution: Please avoid closing the Reolink App or lock the Reolink App before closing the background process.
Solution: Use the Push Notifications Fixer app. <-Set to 5 minutes (recomended).
My notifications are coming in about 10-15 minutes late, which is not very helpful for security camera.
Any suggestions would be Greatly Appreciated !!!
Thanks.
i did observe same in gmail push !
I got pixel phone + gsuite payed gmail
notification was about 6-15min delay when phone was in deep sleep
I can confirmed that on iphone was wroking. properly , in time .
I get delays sometimes with Whatsapp, ebay, and paypal apps.
What frustrates me sometimes is that my Galaxy Watch sometimes stops notifications for the Samsung Email app (used for work email). Notification will show on the phone, but appears sometimes instant, sometimes delayed 5 mins, or never at all. Reboot of phone and watch does not fix it, i have to turn off the notification in Galaxy Wearable app, reboot, and re-add the notification.
I have Battery Management set to High Performance, as i do not want apps put to sleep etc.

Error - 3 apps kept open for quick launching

I am experiencing an error when I lock only one app and it thinks I have locked three. I hit the Close All button to clear out all apps except for the ones I have locked open, but only one remains. After one app is locked the a notification appears at the bottom of the screen stating "3 apps kept open for quick launching" and the "Keep open for quick launching" option is grayed out.
S20 locked apps not appearing in recents https://imgur.com/gallery/Yf4KkcK
Is there any place to find apps that I have locked open? Or maybe just unlock all apps and start over?

Since today I'm having the exact same issue on my Galaxy S10. In my case I think it happened because I already had 2 apps locked in One UI 2.1. After installing the new update for One UI 2.5, the 2 locked apps (WhatsApp and Instagram) disappeared from the Recent Apps list. I can re-lock WhatsApp and Instagram, or any other app for that matter, but when I want to lock a second app, it's grayed out. I've tried rebooting, shutdown for approx. 1 minute, cleaning cache and memory with several different apps, nothing seems to fix it. If a factory reset appears to be the only solution, I'll let it be for what it is now. It -is- annoying though.
(I have a non-rooted device, so my options are limited)
reset defaults on the apps your trying to pin

I just tried this with Instagram and Whatsapp, didn't work either. I even deleted the whole Instagram app (including leftovers) and re-installed the app. Still the option "Keep open for quick launching" is grayed out. Not only with the Instagram app, but with other apps too. The only app I have pinned at this very moment, is WhatsApp. If I unpin WhatsApp, it does let me pin another app, but just 1. The second app I want to pin, is then grayed out again. (I can make screenshots or a screenrecord if you'd like to get a better look at the problem)
Need 12GB RAM or over for three and need 16GB and over for 5.
