Scrolling freeze on chrome - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

Open a website,start scrolling and suddenly it won't move. Pull down the notification bar slightly and I can continue to scroll again. Probably a 120hz setting compatibility issue but curious if anyone else has this problem too?

Have it too. Seems like I either wait an undetermined time for it to unfreeze or pull down the notification bar to unfreeze it.

Well, glad I'm not the only one, although it's really annoying when it happens.

Mine also does that many times but that's more like the chrome's problem since the phone itself runs smoothly in every other app.

I believe I'm getting the same issue in other apps as well. I'll be scrolling, but if I press the home or back button on the navigation bar, it will lock up for like 20 seconds before something crashes. The common error is that System UI has stopped responding. Been having this issue, and quite frankly, it's making me want to give iPhones a try again...

That's not all. It opens some sites for a very long time 1-2 minutes, while in the same time as a Samsung Browser it opens in 5-10 seconds. It is very strange.

I use Brave rather than Chrome but get it here as well. Only in Brave though. I normally swipe back to home screen and go back in to unfreeze it.

Keyboard disappearing lag - when in a message then pressing home

Even before flashing a new ROM I was getting this lag. When you're in a message with the keyboard showing then press home, the messaging app clears but the keyboard stays up for literally like a full second then disappears. Yet, if you are within a message and go back out of the message (press upper left) it has no issue disappearing as it should.
Any way to fix this, it's really annoying.
Had the same thing. No matter which rom

Yep same here...
Its about half a second lag if you actually time it. But it never bothered me at all, i'm surprised it bothers so many people. This issue was posted before too.
I dont think its a lag but more just a transition type effect issue.
It is because the keyboard is its own application. The way android runs is it shuts down the messaging app first then the keyboard second thus the lag. Manually close keyboard before exiting if it bugs you. It bugged me a lot coming from my iPhone where the keyboard is a UI element and closes at the same time. I've just learned to close my keyboard then go home.
I've had it with every Android phone I can remember having. It's not remotely an issue for me.

This. I now always press back, then home or my OCD kicks in.

Yeah, I'm having to do that too. Pretty bootsy if you ask me. Doesn't make sense why the OS can't close both applications at the same time though. Actually pressing back in the upper left closes the message and the keyboard at the same time.

When you hit back in the app it doesn't have to close the messaging app itself and just closes the keyboard app
Also, the way Android is written, is when you hit home it has to draw the launcher which is why it doesn't simultaneously close the two apps. Downside of the way android is programmed.

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.

notification glitch?

I notice sometimes when I'm in a game or any app really I'll get a notification and for a split second the notification doesn't fully load at top. Here's a screen shot to show you what I'm talking about. I also just put it side by side my other note that I'm returning and got the same notification while same app open and it didn't do it on the other note. Wtf.
I have the sane issue. It gets really annoying
I figured out the problem!!! Wow. I turned off nova accessibility and it fixed both the keyboard lag and the laggy notification pop up and I still have all animations off. Tested the notifications using an app that would constantly cause it to lag and only pop halfway down(not fully load)and 4 straight times even while in a game didn't cause it. So the verdict is 100% nova accessibility causing both notification and keyboard lag.
thanks man, I am waiting for my replacement, I use nova
I don't use nova, but I am having both of the stated issues. Any suggestions on how to fix? Thank ya

Back/Home Gestures Or Buttons Stop Working

I've noticed since going to the official Android 10 update and then the October update, if the phone sits idle for a while the the back or home functions stop working (both with gestures and the pill). I can open other apps from the notification pull down and navigate forward. I also cannot pull up the keyboard. I tried to submit a log file to Google but Google requires me to type a description of what happened and I can't do that. The only option is to restart the phone from the power menu. Once that happens it's back to normal functioning. This has happened at least 5 times. Has anybody else experienced this?

Yes! This has been driving me crazy since updating to 10! I finally got fed up and came here looking for answers.
For me it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the phone being idle. It seems to happen after playing video (or potentially other full-screen things, like a game for example). Not sure if it's related to going full screen or maybe going landscape.
When it happens, it seems to only be the home gesture. Back works fine (and sometimes I can keep doing the back gesture to get out of it)
Restarting is usually the quickest way to fix it, but if I don't want to restart, I've found that if I go to settings and switch to 3-button nav, the home button will work again. With 2-button nav, home still doesn't work but multitasking does. Very odd.
I'm suffering from the same problem. I had to switch back to the pill but I've gotten so used to gestures that the pill is tedious.

I'm having the exact same problem as you. It seems to always happen when I'm playing something full screen in landscape mode. I've just been restarting my phone each time. Thanks for the info about switching back to the three button. There are times when I'm in the middle of something and restarting is just inconvenient.
I did a factory reset 2 days ago and it hasn't happened since. I did not use any backup except for phone calls and text messages.

Yeah it's random with me at times the back button becomes useless. Thanks Google for this bug. I can't reset my phone every f time!

Question Odd scrolling behavior

Unsure if anyone is experiencing this issue or it is just my thumb.
When I am holding the phone in my right hand scrolling down the screen with my thumb reading or moving through an app, i will get a too frequent misfire that bounces me back to the top of article or app screen.
My thumb motions are downward. However, the screen is obviously interpreting I am flipping upward.
Is there a setting that might change this? I do not have increased screen sensitivity turned on. Is there an elasticity setting that may be causing this?
Curved screen can still register palm touches just holding the P6P.
same issue
I use one finger to turn the page and my palm is not touching any screen edge
some apps are causing weird scrolling issues. the reddit and twitter apps (can be) problematic right now. I've seen at least 4 cases where removing those apps completely and using alternatives (like Relay and Albatross) has resolved issus. so it could be it...what app are you having an issue with? try chrome in safe mode , see how the scrolling is (safe mode only works with google apps, and it turns off network so turn it on if you do try it)

Thanks for the insight. Reuters News app, Brave Browser, NYT app, pretty much any app when scrolling down reading.

any changes in safe mode? only google apps work on that mode but worth a try
Honestly, I don't see how to get into safe mode on the P6P.
I can get to the menu w/ power button + volume down. What am I missing? It's been a while.

the power menu can be brought up in the notifications menu (Swipe down twice, you'll see the power icon). from there just long-press on the "Restart" button.
Thank you!
As you mentioned, in safe mode I can't try any of the apps where I experienced the issue.
