Turn off the battery optimization for the sensor and restart.... Definitely noticeable increase.. running UI 2.1 / April security update.

Been a thread on here for a month...

Exists already (although in wrong section, it's in the Software and Apps section instead of Guides section where it ought to be)

It will do that when you enter a tunnel or something (and thus the overall ambient light is decreased), Or put your finger on the brightness sensor while the navigation is on (try it) You either have a ROM that has an issue with brightness sensors, Or the brightness sensor on your phone is messed up/Covered up by something.
Tbh i really like the look of the inverted maps xD

I think he means the direction is wrong...
like it faces on the screen the opposite way than you're actually going
You have to allow the compass to recalibrate itself. Go outside, turn on maps with GPS, and wave it around in figure 8s for a while.

A friend have the direction problem with his S-II, Someone have an idea forma a solution? I'm not sure will be related to the compass because it happen only when si in navigation mode, not when he use maps...
Edit: solution found for him, simply removed the battery...

[8.1] [Magisk Module] Multi-Touch Fix for 8.1 Devices

Hello guys and girls,
As some of you already know Android 8.1 suffers from a severe Multi-Touch Issue. This issues makes the smartphone randomly jumping between the two touching points on the screen when touching with two or more fingers.
The issue is known to google since the preview of 8.1. It isn´t only affecting pixel but most probably all devices running 8.1. The issue is also present on P.
An issue got created here: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/70344455
There is a fix since mid march in review on google gerrit. But that didn´t make it into the april release, obviously.
To visualize the issue refer to the following videos:
https://youtu.be/wgYN5GwIgIc
https://youtu.be/2Vv584tvVyg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dnIk_5qdK8&feature=youtu.be
This is especially bad for gamers. With the recent release of PUBG this issues seems dramatic to some, less to others.
I´m no gamer but I noticed the issue on the google foto app.
This issue has nothing to do with the corners badly reacting to touches, or touch sensitivity etc.
So but now to the fix. It seems the issues is only related to resampling but not to touching specific points of the screen ( not related to crossing x and y axis).
That also explains why the issue wasn´t happening when using the touch tracking tool in dev settings but on various multi touch test apps.
The fix is on google gerrit currently under review here:
https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/native/+/640605
https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/native/+/640606
Last week I compiled myself a DU build with the changes included and I couldn´t trigger the issue at all. I found no other side effects caused by the two patches.
For now I decided to provide a Magisk Module which replaces the changed libs that fixes the issue.
I compiled the libs while doing my april build of DU. The magisk module can be found on the link a little bit down.
The download is here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657595755
A few disclaimers here.
1. That fix should in theory work for most 8.1 devices, including the likes of pixel 1st gen, pixel 2nd gen, one plus, xiaomi which suffer from this severe issue.
It seems devices with oos on 8.1 ( op5/t) cannot use this mod.
AOSP and LOS roms should be okay.
2. I didn´t fix this, I just compiled the libs with the fix found on google gerrit.
3. Rom devs you are very welcome to include this fix. I found no ill consequences as of yet but I can understand google taking it slow and reviewing it longer. Maybe they will find a better fix, but as of now this is the best thing we have.
Donations:
Donations are not mandatory but very welcome.

Thanks for the report.
can anyone confirm this?
In the meantime i removed the p tag from the thread title.
Could be That there are additional changes in p that make this libs unusable and only workable on 8.1.
Unfortunately there is afaik no complete source for p yet. So I can’t compile them specifically for p.
Fixed for me!! I only ever noticed the issue when pinch/zooming images on Instagram.. it's gone! Using the April update of 8.1 ... Thanks!!!

I can't replicate this problem, but good to know that there's a fix if I ever experience it.
I'm a beginner at this.But when I tried to install it via magisk manager,I get this error.What are the correct installation steps to flash a magisk module?
Thanks
I never had this issue but it's good to know there's a fix..I'm on the p preview so I'm not sure if I will ever have this issue and no one reported it in my builds but I will include the fix anyways that way no one has to do anything. Good catch

I also thought at first I didn’t have this issue at all.
But once I triggered it accidentally I experienced it many times. Maybe I just learnt what to look for.
Another fun thing is. A friend of mine also got the pixel XL 2 and I could reproduce it right away on his locked phone which is stock 8.1.
I can also trigger it on my pixel C tablet.

That is really weird, because even when I quoted you, then hit "preview post" to see what it would look like, it still didn't work inside the quote.
Kudos to you,
Previosly my device has a bad touch pressure sensitivity along the edge, and in certain spot, it wont even register the touch,
Now it all fixed.
The corner two still has less sensitivity, but previously all edge zone were patchy, full of red zone.
And considering am using full cover glass protector. This is amazing work !
What app did you use for that test?
I've experienced lack of touch response quite often. It's weird and seemingly random. I just flashed this on 8.1 with magisk. I don't have any results yet, but based on what everyone else is saying, this is a solid fix. Thanks for your work!
Do we have to worry about removing this in the future if google updates fix the issue too? Will this being on the system cause conflicts and issues?

fails to mention the up in pro mode iso to 3200 in the cam and 30 sec shutter vs 10 on android 9
Nice to know the camera got those cam speed and iso aditions, I am curious about the starage handling, as I previously read an article here in XDA that files created by any app would be available only for such app, the author saw this as a negative feature, I would like to see how that impacts overall file usage in real life now that android 10 is officially rolling out

Inquiring minds want to know. lol
External touchpads support is broken (both usb and bluetooth) - they don't work/gets recognized as mouse HID as it was on Android 9, currently more like some kind of touch input. Therefore mouse cursor acts strangely when using touchpads - it is way quicker in one plane (e.g. horizontal) than the other (e.g. vertical) which makes it usless.
The update does cripple support for Good Lock which is a huge drawback. You can no longer customize how many rows or columns appear in the quick settings. Many Pie themes are no longer working in 10. On the positive side, battery life has much improved with about 20% more battery at the end of the day. Certain apps such as Instagram will now switch to dark mode if you have it enabled systemwide. For those eagerly waiting, I'd say you're not missing out on much.

Every new version of Android on samsung starts without full support of every goodlock app. It will be the same thing for Android 11. They will update then eventually
One thing for me that kills the A10 update is being unable to Turn Off "Restrict Backgroud Data" on Power Saving Mode
I like to throttle the phone to stop losing battery as quick - Reduce Processor to 70% / AOD Off etc...
With the latest update they have removed the option to do this however when you activate it - It says be default that it is going to be switched on :/
Anybody faced the issue of KLWP not fully working after the update? I can set the wallpaper but the "click to launch app" does not work.

That didn't come with Android 10 though. It's been there. Maybe it came to other devices on 10 but Samsung already had that feature.

Zero-dark-thirty is NOT the time I want to discover that the snooze button on the alarm clock app has been "upgraded" and moved. Groggy/grumpy/sleepy self turned the alarm off this morning instead of just snoozing it.

Question New EU update for the 6 Pro (V3.27)

What are the obvious changes you guys have noticed? I personally felt a little down, my unit is defective I assume.
It hits temperatures well above 60°C with the Dual-Core cooler attached to the back. I was expecting a performance increase of some sorts, but nothing.
Can u show me the changelog of update please?

Question Slower after Android 13/One UI 5 update. Anyone else?

It seems like the phone is ever-so-slightly-slower following the Android 13/One UI 5 update.
Splash screens of various apps consistently appear for a few split seconds longer than before. In fact, at least one app that used to launched instantly now shows a splash screen for a fraction of a second before launching.
Is this just my experience, or do others see the same thing as well?

Thank you.
But I'm trying to figure out if the small slowdown after Android 13 update is an anomaly or if most people experience it. Do you?
My phone came with Android 13/OneUI 5 preinstalled, but I later received an update with January security patch and I started facing issues after that update.
The scrolling works very bad, its like there are some ghost touches. When I scroll thru WhtasApp/Telegram chats, photos in gallary, webpages the scroll sometimes doesn't work, just like the screen didn't even register my touch. If I try to scroll fast, the scroll stops in between, just like a ghost touch or something.
I was also facing issue with fingerprint scanner when the phone screen is off for some time, but I got it resolved by removing existing finterprints. and registering new ones.
The scroll issue is a real bummer for me. I hope it get fixed with the next OneUI 5.1 update.
In Addition to what I listed above, I faced one more strange issue today. I received the January security patch AGAIN today. It's like before, the download size, update description, all is same.
The previous January security patch update I got was installed successfully, I could see it in the software section, I am not sure why I received same update again.

Can someone here please confirm if you are able to scroll faster? I mean, I have my old OnePlus 6 with me. If I do a simple test to scroll once in a telegram chat, OnePlus scroll backs to more number of chat messages compared to S21FE. The S21FE just scrolls to few lines.
Anyone observed same issue?

Yes. the scrolling on the S21 FE is much more stiff and "heavy" than my old J series Samsung phone. In addition, many screen taps aren't noticed by the phone, requiring me to tap again.
You should report it in the Samsung member app like I did. The more people who report these problems the bigger a chance that a patch will be issued.
