Just as the title of this post states. While at work, or even at home, when my signal drops out, I immediately get a pop up that asks if I want to search for available networks. It's about an inch tall, and spans the entire length of the bottom of the screen. It's infuriating because it happens every single time I lose signal. The reception on this phone is particularly weak, and I lose signal in a lot of places that my Pixel 3 simply wouldn't, so it will pop up repeatedly while at my desk at work, or anywhere else that it can't get a signal. Is there any way to disable that pop up?

Mine in decreasing order of annoyance:
Decreased 3G/4G/WiFi reception comparing to previous phone (EVO 4G).
Touchwiz:
Full charge sound.
Contacts not prioritizing contact pictures from FB/Twitter/Skype over Google.
Dialpad is convoluted (too many steps to make a call) and fugly.
Lockscreen. Ewww.
Bottom touch buttons backlight shuts off 2-3 seconds after screen is touched (should be longer).
Power button on side of phone.
You know you can change the background on your lockscreen in settings. Still not the best lockscreen available but there are plenty of options in the market. you can change the duration of the backlight for the bottom buttons in display settings under "touch key light duration".

Can't help you with most. But in settings/ display you can adjust the display timing for what Samsung refers to as Touch Keys.

Also, the location of the power button will be updated in new roms...
"1. Decreased 3G/4G/WiFi reception comparing to previous phone (EVO 4G)."
Can this be fixed with updates? I really hope so, that is my only issue with the phone currently.
Mine in decreasing order of annoyance:
Decreased 3G/4G/WiFi reception comparing to previous phone (MoPho).
LED is blue or red, thats it (tried diferent options incl. apk's... all to no avail).
No landscape mode for TW
Speaker full volume / clarity at said full volume is good, but speaker does strain infrequently and is not as loud as MoPho's (barely but still noticeable)
Wow, thanks for the bottom key tweak. Overlooked that one.
My complaint about the lockscreen is the plainess and lack of features it possesses. Sense simply blows TW away at the moment.
Yeah, Sense is plenty better, but TW isn't that bad, other than the lock screen.....and the way they have it set up to select your widgets.....but it's okay.
DITTO tho on the data, that's a biggie. I'm returning mine because of this. I need data, I use it more than the phone, lol
1. The vibration when I received a text was insanely too long, but I can't figure out how to adjust the pattern.
2. 4G keeps going to sleep while I'm streaming music with the display off, and I have to wake the phone to get the music to start streaming again.
Nothing else is really bothering me right now. Except I'd like a better lock screen.

I suppose if you like 1gb+ roms, sure.
Touchwiz is incredibly easy to theme. I'm sure there will be an 8 lockscreen mod port soon.

Lack of airplane mode in the shade pull-down. My office has zero reception, so need to rely on Google voice during office hours.
Will probably use anycut to put an airplane-mode shortcut on the homescreen.
Biggest ones for me right now concern the dialer:
- No instant-call button on the dialer's Favorites or Contacts tabs - you have to tap the name, then call on the second screen. On stock Android it has a phone icon right there at the right side of each name's field. No clue why they'd go and remove that, it's extremely useful.
- No way to turn off the huge photos next to people's names - I always turned those off on stock to make it just a list of names with the phone icon on the right - it showed a lot more names per screen that way. Again, no idea why a feature like that gets removed.

If you swipe your finger right to left over their name it calls them. If you swipe left to right it brings you into messaging. I actually like it more than the stock call buttons. Keeps the contacts menu more clean imo.
First. I am rooted so there is a possibility it is the rooted Kernel that is doing this... but maybe not as it is radio related.
Twice today lost signal on the golf course (and in addition to phone signal lost data so my GPS Golf App wasn't usable when I needed it for distance to the green)... but couldn't get the phone to trigger signal back on even if I put the phone in Airplane Mode (both times) and back out. Also tried turning roaming off and on.
Both times I HAD to turn the phone completely off and then back on. When it came back on I had 4 bars (but had previously been unable to connect).
Not good...
When I was playing with the phone @ the sprint store I noticed that airplane mode option pop up if i hit the power switch while in phone mode.

No biggie, as I'm sure all that try will find out, but he means your "other left" and "other right" (as my father used to say as I was growing up), i.e. the swipe directions described are actually the opposite directions.
Cheers!

AWESOME, thanks. Don't know how I forgot that!
When I'm texting with Swype, the language switches to Espanol all the time because the language button is right next to the comma button.
It's really annoying, any way to turn it off?
I can't for the life of me figure out how to keep the screen from turning off while the phone is plugged in. Its usually under settings>applications> development> keep screen on while charging..

Hi guys,
First time android user here. I've had a search on google and on this forum and I can't seem to find an answer to this so:
The HOX displays music controls in a widget when the lock screen is activated. However when there is no signal (such as when I am underground) this is replaced by a gigantic "no signal!" notification.
This is really annoying as it means I then have to go through the password screen and switch to the player before being able to switch track.
Is there any way to disable this notification? I mean, I can see there's no signal right there in the top corner...
Thanks in advance.
Bump
The lock screen player is amazingly buggy.
The controls often fail to work, and when there is no signal that "no signal!" message will often randomly switch back and forth with playback controls entirely unpredictably. I've come to the conclusion that this is a bug so hopefully there'll be a fix soon.
It's disappointing to see how rough around the edges a lot of the sense stuff is. It has very good intentions but frankly if this is supposed to be HTC's answer to iOS it's got a looooong way to go.

iOS doesn't even do anything, thats why it appears to work. theres no actual functions to get buggered up in the first place.
Thanks, but that doesn't actually help me with my phone. If you haven't noticed I bought an android device, not an iPhone.

one way i got round this is by pressing power button a couple more times to get the controls back on the lock screen when screen switched on again. might work for you too. still better than going through password etc.
but i agree not clever from htc. it's things like these which make products well tested and thought through.
I have 2 very specific happenings with my Note 2.
1) At (seemingly) random intervals, my phone's screen will fade on and off displaying some sort of notification screen that I can't find anywhere. I must have hit this in some settings menu but don't know where. It has big white notifications for missed calls, emails, and texts, all of which are always 0 on the screen. Again, this screen fades in and out in under a second. I even tried a screenshot, but haven't been fast enough.
2) At one point I noticed the RETURN button from the keyboard was replaced with a smiley button. Now it's gone. How can I get it back or to stay?
Also... I love ellipses (three periods in a row). The stock keyboard auto punctuates after one period and puts a space in there which drives me crazy.
Any fixes or suggestions on any of the above things I've noticed?
Edit: Screen Just flashed at 9:30 - Maybe this happens on the half hour or quarter hours. I'll keep watch
Edit2: HAHAHAHAHA... It just did it one minute later. I've got no clue.
Ok, so I figured out how to activate it.
It's sensor related. I have my phone under a lamp. I move my hand over the sensors and I get this notification screen.
I don't mind it, just want to know where it is in the settings or if this is something you can/can't disable.
My guess is that its for when you take your phone out of a pocket the sensor can show you any missed notifications.
For the record, it's missed calls, missed texts, and battery level.
Found my answer in the General Section for the Note 2
The feature I'm describing is the "Quick Glance"
Now... onto figuring out how to get that smiley button back instead of the return! :laugh:
I know this is an old post but I am so glad I found this. It has been driving me nuts seeing that screen come on and go away. I tried everything to replicate it. It happened 5 times over the last 20 minutes while I was watching a movie so I googled it and found this. Anyways...thank you!
When somebody calling me and I pick up, I can make conversation but phone is stuck on ringing mode, and after few moments hang up phone call, and I have missed call...
Somebody else have this problem? How can I fix this?
I dont have this problem.

That's weird, I did never face this issue but my A2L is relatively new (1 week only).
I'll try to phone to my own A2L using different devices to see if I face this issue.

Yes, it is very weird and annoying. Not happens every time, but sometimes... ?
This happened to me yesterday for the first time, but I thought that was a problem of the person that was calling me.
It was a number I didn't have in my contacts, and after the bug I immediately called back that number, but it was not available.
I thought the person that was calling me had a very low battery charge and while calling me his phone turned off, causing the bug (because immediately after the bug it was unavailable).
To this date I still did not have this problem.
Me too, i cant answer and reject calls when i upgrade to android pie
Solved: Screen not turning on with incoming calls
Step 1: Go to Dialer or Phone app settings. To do so, you can either go to main settings, then open ‘Apps’, and then scroll down to Dialer or Phone App.
You can also access App Info page by long pressing the app icon, and then tapping the App info option or the small ‘i’ icon in the corner.
Step 2: Now select “App notifications” option and turn it "on"
Step 3: Now if App notifications are turned off, your display won’t wake up when someone calls you. Also if only the “Incoming calls” permission is off, your screen will not light up with incoming calls. Make sure required permissions are turned on and your issue will be fixed.
Xiaomi Mi 2 Lite. I cannot get incoming calls to show on my screen, so I can't answer. Tried switching notifications off and on again, tried forcing stop. Two days ago I did a factory reset and was OK for 2 days. I think this is since latest Android update about a 10 days ago.
Call answer bug
I have similar issue on Mi A1, been going for a while. Sometimes, call comes in, the answer key cannot pick and cannot reject the call. This happened after a certain update I just dont know which. I have noticed that this mostly happens at some particular GSM antennas, sometimes, just by moving away from that antenna (that's when in a car) solves the problem. But as long as I remained in that location at that time, i cannot pick or reject calls, I also can't make calls, I get the promt, network problem, even though the service bars r showing. And in some cases the people calling will tell me, that calls to me are not going through.
This is driving me nuts. When I get a phone call I get a bar at the top of the screen with two buttone, one saying Decline and the other sayng Answer. I can tap on it like a demented woodpecker, but nothing happens. If Itry to swipe it, the two buttons just disappear into a void and the phone keeps ringing with no way to answer. Very, very occasionally I get the normal notification that I can swipe to answer, but I have to phone nearly everybody back.

Clear data and cache of the "phone" App and if necessary reinstall the application
Hi there,
This weird thing started a few months ago, and I can't get rid of it.
Long story short, my hands are always sweaty, and I thought that is the main reason of the problem, however, this can happen randomly even if I don't even touch my phone.
First I saw the fingerprint scanner flashing while the phone was locked and sitting on my table, that's when I first saw this problem.
Nowadays, it happens randomly. When I type, when the phone sits on my table, when I try to type messages or when I try to make a phone call. Usually if I rub the spot with some cloth, my pants, t-shirt it goes away for a few minutes.
First, it appeared on the bottom of the screen, when the virtual keyboard is open the "space" button, "n" letter and "k" buttons were acting weird. It's like, when you touch the N letter it jumps up to the K.. when you touch the "space" it jumps up to the N or the K.
Nowadays, it goes all hardcore sometimes.
I have turned on all kinds of stuff in the developer options to see the exact same spot where the error is, as i thought the bottom of the touchscreen is damanged. However, it sometimes does the same thing on the top, on the bottom, center etc.
edit: the two options turned on in the developer settings are: show taps and pointer location.
Here are two youtube videos I was able to record with another phone when my A50 went nuts.
As you can see, the phone is locked, it was sitting on the table and all of a sudden it started doing these crazy stunts..
I hope you guys have a solution for this.
Thanks in advance and have a wonderful day / night!
Best Regards,
Tamas,
Zerovic.
