It's out since 2.1.2020, but it got worse, Android System is draining too much, they didn't even properly test it ??? I went back to ASK9 and never updating again, never buying any Samsung device again.
I updated also and I got no problems with it. It's rooted with magisk and I didn't install twrp. Twrp causes random reboots in combination with magisk before.
No problem for me except the finger print. It's get worse in december update.

Why don't you mention that "Android System" draining bug?
In the Czech Republic, the January update has also been carried out, but I have not noticed any fundamental changes in the behavior of the device. The December deterioration of the work of the fingerprint reader was solved by enrolling 4 fingers within one finger registration. Everything went correctly, I can unlock my phone with any of 8 registered fingerprints and I have no problems. A505FN.

issue on your side, no "draining" problem , and thks to samsung for fast updates
No problems here.
I've just see 3 games/bloatware added... Simply uninstall it.
No battery drain at all.
Fingerprint like ever.

Oh? Then why almost everyone have this issue? And there are still of tons of problems. Not thank you samsung for **** phone. Strange that J5 2015, Redmi Note 4X, Mi 9T is far better and those two phones are from 2014-2015. Also J5 2017 is better. So?
Proximity sensor, camera, bugs, etc. I can continue if you want. Or just read my long comment in one post.

9,5 hours of SOT is not bad at all. Also it's not weird that after an update, android system takes some more power for a while. Check again in a couple of days.

For me the fingerprint sensor works WAY better after this update! Not yet seen any data about battery consumption because I just updated. I may report here if I remember.

Yeah, the Pixel only started getting January patches today.
Interesting thing I found out about fingerprint sensor is that it registering all my fingers without any problems. With only 1 exception - thumb. I could finally re-register fingerprints using method with all fingers in one slot, but it's interesting why there is only problem with the thumb.

I only use my thumbs. I set up left once, and right twice, because I mostly hold my phone in my right hand. It works fine IF I use the thumb on the hand I hold my phone with. This way it's easier to put the thumb on the right spot, tilted with the right angle, just as I scanned it.
If I don't hold the phone when unlocking, there's a high chance of failure.

You must downgrade magisk to 19.3 after flash the TWRP (the twrp is patched with magisk 20.1, the worst version of magisk). After you downgrade, you won't have (almost) random reboots

Mine rarely gets it from start, and the usual ratio is 60/40 or even worse.
Which made me ask myself: while setting up the fingerprint, is it better to slightly move around the finger (the unorthodox way), or to keep it as fixed as possible (as per instructions)?
I only have the device for two days, but I will test this and report back the results. For now, the fingerprint system seems crappy and on its way to be declared next to useless.
What ROM version are you on, apparently the latest ROM is better.
I haven't tested it yet, I will do later today and report back

best regards
When a new fingerprint is set you need to touch the sensor ten times more or less. You just need to press the sensor in ten slightly different ways trying to record the full surface of your finger. As soon as I set my fingerprint this way I noticed that the smartphone unlock system performance was much better.
Hope it helps.

Thank you guys for the input and tips.
I have tried everything you suggested (and more), but to no avail.
Either my device has a crappy sensor, or I simply have some impossible fingerprints.
You could try flashing eragon, the fingerprint scanner works almost flawlessly for me after I switched roms.
I'm not glad with the sensor. But this can also be an effect of my really dry skin.
Only 25% success. :crying:
Until Eragon 4.0,I didn't use the fingerprint sensor.
It simply does refused to work most of the time. But since I flashed Eragon 4.0, it's make fun to use the fingeprint feature:
It works for me 3 out of 4.
We all have to be thankfull and cheer to skeleton1911, for his great work.
Cheers
P.S.: I heard rumours about, that he is not against donations.
For me I'd say it get my finger 70% of the time, in the first try. It used to be worse at about 50/50, but the latest update has made the situation better. But still it can be frustrating at times so I ended up disabling the fingerprint unlock.
I'd say that the problem is the small detection area. Elephone had so much space in the back yet they chose a very small scanner
Before I moved to the Eragon roms my sensor was very hit and miss and slow to unlock even if it read the print. Since moving to Eragon v3 (and now up to v4) it is almost 100% reliable and quick to unlock.
I have found the the fingerprint sensor works better in Eragon 3.5+, than in the stock ROM. However it is still mostly worthless. A couple of my fingers it gets first try around 80% of the time. The others can take many attempts before the phone will unlock.
Ergonomically, the sensor is not in a position that your finger naturally falls to. Getting your finger in to a position to achieve a good reading takes a bit of contortion, and as the phone doesn't have the safest of grip at the best of times, there is a good chance you could drop it whilst trying to unlock with your finger print!
I have a pebble watch, and use the android smart lock feature, so I rarely need to use the finger sensor.
My fingerprint works better than ever with iPhone 5s.
So for me very good, thanks for eragon ROM
Mine always works unless my finger is wet
i am on eragon 4.0 (based on stock rom)
on the Stock ROM 20151014 also worked without problems
Guys I have made this thread specifically to address or review issues we are or will face on our G5 plus.
(OP will be modify accordingly as more issues are found)
First issue.
VoLTE connectivity issues??
Not really sure about these issues but some of the guys are facing weird issues regarding VOLTE when using only one sim on 1st sim slot. Are you guys facing anything like this?
I am referring to this:-https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-G5-Moto-G5-Plus/Moto-G5-Plus-VoLTE-issues/m-p/3610582
Solution:-Issue seems to be fix by first inserting any other carrier sim in slot 1 and register it on network than by replacing with JIO.
2nd Issue.

In my case during normal use no issues. Yes during gaming it does get warm but not hot. The temperature always remain around 40°C while gaming. And yes you are correct due metallic back the whole back surface may feel warm since metal dissipate the heat to keep the Cpu cool.
If your device gets temperature around 45°C then its getting heated up.

Yuss. Guess what sun is a *****?? do check it in the morning plz. But I guess that shouldn't be an issue just like what mods are saying at lenovo forums.
Please vote, lets see how many user has this problem. (I know the Q/A topic contains similar topic but w/o voting)
My problem is similar. Yes when I pinch or zoom with two fingers it gets a little wonky but nit too terrible. My issue is with the setting "accidental touch" not working. My screen keeps turning on when in my pocket. Tired of companies putting out buggy defective JUNK!
As much I'd like to get this phone seeing so many people have this issue is stopping me from buying it. Guess I'll have to wait for samsung to address that they're putting out a fix for this.
After I put a tempered glass screen protector on it I've had no issues. They have pushed an update to the FE in Germany to address the issue but it's not pushed in the US yet.

Just tried that test. I guess I do have it but have never noticed it.
Unbelievable i also have issue with my Australian s20 fe, did not noticed this until I run the touch screen test. Unfortunately I have not received any updates firmware yet to see if Samsung fix them or not.
I had this issue too but with 1ATJ5 update which i received 2 days ago the problem solved
I'm surprised what take Samsung so long to release the updates to the rest of the world when its clear the problem happen to a lot of regions.
I have had too Multitouch issues. I have it returned. I have Pixel 5 now.
Was S20 Fe 5G red DE region.
I just bought US t-mobile model and I do have the crossing lines in that blue screen test app. However I haven't experienced any issues in my day-to-day use.
I have the Exynos version with november patch here in Brazil, the issue is present.
Fast catch in PoGo is a nightmare since we need to use 2 fingers to do it.
Exynos with latest patch, no issues on normal usage, only a few crossing lines on the test app.
Just ordered the FE 5G (Snapdragon).
Will update it and run some tests. Should be here in a week.
Hopefully they fixed it or will fix it with Android 11/OneUI 3.0

I saw some posts on reddit that claimed it was fixed with the latest software but I don't know how true that is as I haven't tried it myself yet.
Hopefully it's something that can be fixed via software. I've gone through PLENTY of Samsung devices and the hardware is always of good quality, even on their lower end devices.
I very recently got the Exynos version, CSC is SEB, ran touchscreen tests, no problems at all.
I don't know if it's touchscreen related or maybe screenprotector that i applied, but after using this phone for a bit more I notice that sometimes it doesn't register my touches. For example in pogo when I spin a ball suddenly it stops tracking as if i lifted my finger and yeets the ball somewhere to the side. Similar with HP:WU, sometimes it doesn't track my casts. :/

Did you you enable increased sensitivity?
My Note 10+ be a mess if I wasn't using that and accidental touch protection. If you're running Pie you can also download the app Double Tap which works great with almost zero battery usage.
The case also makes a big difference as naked I hate this phone; in the Bolt case it's great and it helps to prevent accidental screen touches while making it easy to hold.
Don't be too hasty to ditch Pie for Q... Pie is a fast, stable and a relatively secure OS.
With Q comes the cursed scoped storage.
Make sure to cure isn't worse than the disease.

This phone never shipped with Android 9 so irrelevant.
And the problem is not accidental touches. The problem is it stops tracking.
Could you guys please test something out for me on your S21 FE phones? In Chrome (or any web browser) try scrolling up or down slowly, then hold your finger still and release it from the screen. Your goal is to avoid scrolling the page at all when you release your finger.
For me, the screen often scrolls when I release my finger. My phone seems to be detecting subtle movements in my finger as I release it from the screen, and incorrectly interpreting that as a scroll action. I'm starting to worry that this is a software bug. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I have the same problem, but it kind of started after the protective glass sticker.
I dont have this issue. Scrolling is working fine even with a tempered glass
You are right. The same thing happens to mine, when I lift the finger slowly, the phone scrolls erratically. I said it before in another post but I absolutely know that thie S21 FE does not have the same snappy, scrolling speed that I had on my S21 Ultra. It is a 120hz display, no doubt about it, but something is making it seem laggy or erratic sometimes.
Yeah, I have the same behavior on mine, but I thought that's normal, that's how Samsung One UI manages the scroll. Never had a Samsung until s21 FE, came from a OnePlus 7T.
Still, what's the problem with this behavior? Why does it bother you?
I dont have this issue. Scrolling is normal for me.
do you have any updates on this? I have the same issue.
None. I'm guessing Samsung might of used the same manufacturing process as on the S20 FE (which had the ghost touch issues) and in order to fix it they made some software modifications to the screen sensitivity. So it might be the panel is flawed or purposefully made to feel less flaghsip to make us buy the ultra ) I'm rambling I know, but in this day and age, I think these companies can do such things. I vividly remember not having any display issues on the S21 Ultra and I remember holding both the S21 Ultra and the S21 FE and scrolling up and down. OneUi felt so right and fluent on the Ultra, I have no idea why. On the FE, even when I am typing words I often have spelling errors and typing feels very uncertain and laggy.
I've made a screen recording in 60 fps using scrcpy and the touch debugging enabled while viewing a grid paper PDF.
You can clearly see on many swipes where there is a random 1 or 2 sample points extra when the finger lifts off. It seems to be mostly triggered when trying to do precise movements, like trying to align the grid to the edge.
It's great that we have proof regarding the touchscreen, however I am not sure what we can do to solve it. You could show it to samsung support but I doubt they will recall every single unit and fix it if it's a hardware issue.
I wrote to Samsung support, but they didn’t give me a clear answer, they said that this is a feature of the phone. I think you need to write a lot to Samsung support so that they fix it with an update

That's exactly what they do all over the world. I think they know very well what they are doing. Why bother with defects that only a small percent of people actually perceive. I find this to be really annoying and frustrating. I have no idea what to do to get through them. They do the same thing with the HDR function too. It's always on, you can clearly see it in action after every photo but they'd rather send you to the service center than admitting they know about it and that it is something they did on purpose. Most probably they are going to brush it off and hope people forget about it while new phones will take over the attention of the customers.
I dont have this "feature".... S21FE snapdragon Czechia 6/128
I just got my s21 FE and I'm having this issue. It's annoying. As a scroll webpages, the page hops up after I lift my finger. It's been happening all day. I really hope attention could be brought to this and that it's fixed in an update.

Are you on June update? I'm trying to reproduce it on June update but I can't, it seems to be fixed.

I just got the June update a few minutes ago. In these few minutes of use, I *seem* not to be having the touchscreen issues anymore. But I'll update if that changes. Thanks.

Can anyone else confirm? I am trying very hard not to update the S21 FE from the stock ROM unless it's actually worth it )

I've gotten it couple times, but June update made it way better.
Just updated my Magic4 Pro to Android 13, Magic OS 7.1, Build number: 7.1.0.136 and I cannot switch between apps; the functionality is simply broken.
I've got a video demonstrating it on Twitter...would therefore suggest not upgrading until this is (and potentially other bugs) fixed.
UPDATE:
I've found the potential cause of said issue - it's linked with the launcher not being default. Switching it back to Honor Home, then re-selecting Nova launcher seems to have fixed the issue.
However, if I restart or power off the phone, the issue comes back, thus needing to do the above again.
Was it à regular updates from Honor ?

I suggest you to perform a hard reset. I don't meet this issue. It's very strange!!!

Curious, didn't receive the update

That's not something I'm prepared to do; don't want to be wasting my time having to do a full factory reset due to a broken feature that's been pushed through by the manufacturer.
And yes, regular and official update.

You should tape in the three points upper in right in the app Honor Club( system update). Trying versions.

I'm going to perform a hard reset because of draining battery and others bugs. I was before a beta tester. This update, too soon!!! Honor should have waited!!! I'm angry !

Agreed.
Doing a reset will solve it, I have not done it and it works fine, I have been lucky.

Unfortunately you might just have to do a backup and do it when it comes to android in general not just honor platform updates tend to break things and only way to fix those bugs is to reset simple as that you can complain left and right but that's just how it is happens on ios mac os and Windows as well

I used to flash ROMs and kernels weekly on my SGS1, but I can't ever recall one breaking basing navigation functionalities.
With that said, I've found the potential cause of said issue - it's linked with the launcher not being default. Switching it back to Honor Home, then re-selecting Nova launcher seems to have fixed the issue.
However, if I restart or power off the phone, the issue comes back, thus needing to do the above again.
It was very relieving to find this thread and make my phone usable again. It was horrible experience trying to use the phone without an ability to switch apps.

"It didn't happen before so it can't happen now" great logic also that was super long time ago lmao back in SGS1 days we only had 1 navigation type so it either fully worked or didn't there were no variables these days we have 2-3 so obvs stuff can break plus don't forget with a clean install there are 0 variables that's why bugs, if they happen, are caught by honor or whoever makes the update with apps and custom settings thrown in there's thousands of variables that can make stuff go haywire

Indeed, it is great logic. Android has been in development for 13 years since the SGS1, so you'd expect fewer bugs and fundamental features not being broken. Remember, not everyone is a techie nor will come to XDA looking for the fix, and ultimately might be put off the brand altogether, which otherwise makes excellent phones (and I've owned Honor phones on/off since 2015).
Guess you're not thinking of the bigger picture here, anyway I digress.

No its garbage logic in fact yes its been in dev for 13 years it has also been adding features for 13 years changin things for 13 years for same 13 years its also been supporting over 20k+ devices and working on them bugs are about normal with majority phones we dont see a lot cuz devs squash them before they push the update but variables that i mentioned prevent devs from covering all scenarios so shenanigans happen my problem was not with bug itself my problem is people like you talking crap because they refuse to wipe or expect flawless experience every time nothing is perfect especially software

I think you are an expert. Do you think it is possible to install Google Services Framework on Magic5pro? I have one but dunno how to do so. Thank you for your sharing.
