When I charge my phone overnight and go to turn it on in the morning the phone is completely locked up and I have to reboot it. It doesn't happen all the time but it has happened 3-4 times now. I'm wondering if it is a hardware or software issue. There are a few apps that are running in the background such as Kin Screen, Automate and LightFlow. Has anyone else had this problem?
I have not. I am using 8.1 beta. What are you on?

Version 8.0.
I recommend 8.1 as it resolves the majority of the burn in issues . Let me know if that fixes your issue
No lock up on 8.0 here. I don't use any of those background apps though.

I will give this a shot. Thanks.
I have tried everything, disabled everything and every morning my phone is locked up and I have to reboot it. Funny thing is that I have tried fully charging it during the day and it doesn't happen although usually, it's around 60-70%, not 20-30% like it is a night. I am going to try resetting the phone one more time but this is so frustrating.
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?

A monthly update is supposed to address it eventually.

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.

But I've even tried resetting the phone as well as flashing system image, still does it.

I think I've seen this just one time for me. It's consistently happening every time? Does this happen in safe mode?

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.

I am too. Fingers crossed! :good:
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.
Hey guys, I have updated to Android 10 from quite a sometime now(was a beta tester) and was noticing that device practically become usable after a few days of usage. Keyboard stops popping up, apps get killed in background and so on..
This issue gets fixed by a restart though. Has anyone else noticed something similar?
I am also facing issues after Android 10 update. Please let me know if you find permanent fix or solution.
Yes, same here. I reverted back to Pie. I thought I was the only one!

Nope, you are not alone :crying:
i can confirm the exact same issue since OTA update to Android 10 on S9 (DBT). currently with second minor Update to DTAD build problem still there. Tried different things to work around but yet nothing helped. i assume it has something to do with memory leak on swap partition. memoryinfo & swapcheck app always show 0 byte free swap memory which cannot be freed again when this occurs. As stated before, only reset phone helps, but after 24h its the same. struggling with this since the first Q Update Version. Any suggestions highly appreciated.

Auto-restart every morning
I didn't find any issue, and I didn't factory reset my device after installing the update. My phone runs quite smoothly, no issues whatsoever.
The only minor bug is that the transition animation of the clock from the lock screen to the always on display is laggy, and sometimes the instructions like "hold your phone more upright" get stuck on the always on display. I hope this will get fixed in the next update.
@icoolguy1995
any news on this issue? Perhaps it's any app or launcher or tool some of us use in common, since it seems not everyone is affected. i have to admit, that i have really a ton of apps on my device and freqently use it. But I already had the same conditions on Pie and there never run in this lag problem,so....

Well I am still researching about this issue. I reported this issue couple of times to Samsung during beta testing; they said, they are unable to reproduce this issue neither they are able to see it on logs which I have sent. For me, the issue starts to appear after 91 hours of usage without a restart. Weirdly, using any keyboard other than Samsung Keyboard seems to help somewhat. I tried using Gboard and the issue somewhat mitigated but still annoying enough.
Did you guys tried reflashing the firmware using Odin?

I have reflash the firmware because it was getting unbearable. It's been 3 days, no issues yet. Will keep you guys updated.
I just cleared the System Chache and my phone is working fine now.
Same issue here. After android 10 update it's laggy as hell. Android auto crashes randomly. Spotify stops working..

No effect of reflashing. Same issue popup up after 4-5 days. I wonder if this is more like a hardware related issue then software?
No, i don't think so.
Got a new update, it made issue worse. Now, instead of 90 hours free of system killing spree I am getting 70 around-ish hours with good ram management. So my workaround for this is now to set auto restart in 3 days interval.

yeah, i use SwiftKey since ages.
Two updates passed (currently on G960FXXS9DTD7), so far so good (despite no mention in the changelog).
after each lock when i turn the screen on with double tap or power button screen is unresponsive for good 3 seconds. This started happening after the latest camera fix update. When if i use aod and use the fingerprint through the aod this doesnt happen. tried reboot and factory reset with fresh install (no backups) tried safe mode. Same thing happens.
S20 plus exynos.
Yup happening to me too (s20+ exynos). For me the time of unresponsiveness is around 1-2 seconds. Happened after the latest update.
Yes, have been facing the same issue since "ATCH" update.
Yeah has been driving me nuts. Same problem.
I'm surprised this isn't gaining more traction? Can't be the only few experiencing this!?
Glad to see it's not only my device. Waiting for fix.
I have similar situation
I'ne noticed the same after the last update.

Seriously when it happens(which it does like 90% of the time i wake the screen) i feel like i'm using a cheap 100$ phone and not a 1000$+ flagship.

This. I'm afraid if it goes unnoticed by samsung we may have to face this issue for longer.
BTW any user here with Snapdragon that has this issue. Or is this exynos only ?

There is an app called samsung member where you can send error reports. I have already done it, its currently under review. I suggest everyone affected to do it.

Seems like a pertaining issue for Note 10 Users too. They found a trick and seems it works better now. Can you try this and let me know if it works better?
turn off the battery optimized for apps: com.samsung.android.biometric.
Go to Settings>Apps>Select "Special Access" from three dot menu>Optimise Battery Usage>select All from drop down menu>Search for "com.samsung.android.biometric"> Turn it off and Restart.

Report back if it works? I didn't check it yet because, I'm on root and didn't update it yet. (G985F/Exynos)

Did accordingly as above.
For a moment it felt like the issue is resolved!
But after checking several times I can confirm the issue still exists.

While using the sidekey and turning off and on the screen and checking consecutively, the unresponsiveness persists in mine.

Ofcourse I did. In fact restarted one more time since it didn't resolve after the first restart, post disabling the optimization.

I did this already and while it feels like fingerprint is faster, unfortunately this is a screen issue. You see if the screen is off and i put the finger in the correct spot it always scans my finger without any lag. The issue is occurs when -
a) I have unlocked the phone using above way, then the screen becomes unresponsive right after unlocking.
b) The screen is off and i either press the power button or double tap to wake, then the screen will be unresponsive and its during this time the fingerprint scanner doesn't scan (because the scanner doesn't know it needs to scan since the touch is unresponsive)
so TL;DR its not a FP scanner issue.
I am quiet sure Samsung is already addressing this issue for next update.
Experiencing a low brightness issue when unlocking the phone sometimes! It's automatically going to low brightness and the brightness slider doesn't change.

So it may not be a kernel issue. Maybe a software issue. I will be going back to stock Tmo later.
