S4 Mini LTE with Lineage keeps crashing after SMS

I have the latest Lineage 14.1 on my S4 Mini all seems to be fine except that it crashes and then reboots from time to time. This seems to be happening after sending SMS messages, but not always. I did have this problem before with the stock OS, so probably not Lineage specific but as it's still happening, I'm guessing a setting somewhere that needs to be looked at?
Thanks

The LineageOS [st]advanced[/st] reboot menu on my S4 Mini doesn't work at all, a long press of the power button performs a soft reboot, rather than opening the options, when "advanced restart menu" is selected in Developer Options.
Also, selecting "kill app back button" long press option soft reboots the device when the foreground app is killed and I land on my home screen. Long pressing back while already on the home screen on its own also performs a soft reboot, btw. Rather than simply restarting the launcher.
Both options need to be unchecked for me and I now use different methods(3rd party apps) to achieve their results.
Maybe your issue is related? Try unchecking those two options and re-testing...
*Edit: Even without Advanced Restart Menu checked, my device only ever performs a soft reboot, regardless of which option, even Power Off, is chosen. Just tested.
I usually use NEO Power Menu for Xposed, anyway, but disabling these and retesting still produces only a soft reboot, for every option.

Thanks for those ideas, on my phone I have 'Advanced Restart' checked and it's working, or at least the option to boot into recovery does. The 'kill app back button' option was unchecked. I've changed my sms app to Signal to see if it makes any difference.
I did read somewhere else outside XDA about some call settings that could be changed, but I can't find that link any more.

* Update to clarify my above posts; I've resolved the Power Menu issues I was having on 14.1 to be related to Substratum Legacy System overlays. Uninstalling Substratum overlays on my device returns the full functionality of my reboot menu and Power button.
It does not, however, fix the long-press Back button to kill foreground app issue I mentioned. It still force-closes the System and performs a soft restart on my device, without overlays installed.
I've since went back to the I9195-LineageOS-15.1-experimental build by Arco, which by *far and large*, has simply the best battery life of any custom build I have used available here. The various missing features, in my case, can easily be overlooked, as most can be implemented via various 3rd party methods, and are definitely worth sacrificing in the meantime for such a battery life.
I've thought for months that my hardware has been on its last legs because of really over-excessive battery drain whilst using various different custom ROMs.
Resurrection Remix would be my OS of choice but I really can't justify using that fantastically feature-rich OS any longer on this handset, not after using the above LOS 15.1 build and remembering what it was like not to have to charge my battery every time I was near a power source. It's absolutely great!
* Sorry for the off-topic blurb, this was meant to be just a quick update about the overlays/Power Menu issue... :/

Android Pie "Pixel Setup" won't go away

After the Pie update, my phone was wonky. So I did the sane thing we all do, I did a factory reset.
I then restored all my data and settings in the usual ways. All is well so far. It even seemed to fix the battery drain issue.
BUT!!! I have this stupid thing that won't go away, and I have zero idea what to do or what it is!! It seems to think I want to copy my old data from my old phone, but of course, its the same exact phone. Not sure what to do? Cannot figure out which process it is to kill it. Rummaged around ADB and found nothing
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/H...A0fSUmMvjQpzm73XCWvPpGMrL017bn8=w587-h1043-no

Just click it and at the bottom it should say "don't copy" click it. It may ask you some other things but other things like changing wallpaper or don't size.
You can try going to your setting and dismissing the "recommended actions" at the top, then restart your phone, but idk if it will help.

Persistent debris/moisture error

My wife has a G7 Thinq that has been having this problem for a while now. She gets the debris/moisture error when the phone has had no exposure to water at all. There is nothing in the port at all. No amount of drying/cleaning makes any difference. When the error occurs, she gets frequent notifications and can only charge the phone wirelessly. The only fix is to factory reset the phone. Then, it's fine for a while (it was 2-3 months this last time), as long as she does not restart the phone. It often, but not always, recurs after a restart. Once the error occurs, it persists until a factory reset.
Because it goes away after a factory reset, I'm inclined to think it's a software issue, but I've had no luck in identifying an app responsible for it. Has anyone else seen this behavior, or know how to solve it? It has the stock ROM on it, and I've wondered if a custom ROM would fix the problem. However, she likes the stock ROM, so I'm not exactly eager to change that.

Try a hard reboot (not reset).
Clear system cache.
It could be an update causing it. Disable all auto updates. Try rolling the updated ones back to factory loads especially system apks.
Does it do it in safe mode? If so it's likely a system apk, firmware or a hardware failure.

When I've done the factory reset before, I've just done it through the system settings menu and assumed that would also clear the cache. Is that not so?
When you say "hard reboot (not reset)", do you mean to do the factory reset with the hardware buttons, rather than through the settings menu? Does that do something different?
As for updates, auto updates are off. I'll try rolling back updates and see if that makes any difference.
I vaguely remember booting into safe mode back when this first manifested many months ago. I think the error was still there in safe mode, but it was so long ago I can't remember for sure. I'll check that, too.

If it didn't crop up right after the reload it indicates something that was added or a changed setting.
Clearing the system cache can only be done off the boot menu. This can cure many types of erratic behaviors.
For individual apks clearing their data can do the trick when clearing the cache doesn't.
A hard reboot simulates pulling the battery or pull the battery if it's removable.
I run many of my system apks as the factory loaded versions because of issues with their updated versions.
Next reload pay close attention to any updates.
If it's software caused it may prove a challenge to track down.
Could be an internal hardware failure. Try a known good cable and charger. Google the issue, others may have had the same problem and have a solution.

Clearing the cache, factory resetting the phone, etc. didn't work this time around. I was going to try putting a custom ROM on it, until I started looking into it and found out the bootloader can't be unlocked (it's the T-mobile version).
In the service menu (dial *#546368#*710#) there is a setting to shut off moisture detection. That also didn't fix it. However, I did find something in there that I don't understand that might be informative. My daughter has the same phone, so I looked through some things in there comparing the two. Under a menu called "Type-C checker" there is a table where the two phones differ. My wife's phone says:
Supported ModeUFP DFPMODEFAULTPOWER ROLEFAULTDATA ROLEFAULTVCONNN
My daughter's phone says "NONE" where my wife's says "FAULT". Does that mean anything?
I'm now suspecting some sort of hardware fault, perhaps a short in the charging port. I can buy that daughter board with the USB port for ~$15. What are the odds replacing that will fix it?

Hmmm... That's interesting. After several days of the notification never going away, even after trying every fix for the problem, it went away on it's own about an hour after posting that last message. Out of curiosity, I looked in the service menu, and those three things that said "FAULT" now say "NONE", just like my daughter's phone without the problem. I have no idea what those things mean, but apparently it has something to do with the error. I don't know what fixed it either, but it wasn't anything I did.

hey, can you have found what was the issue because I have exactly same issue like your phone.

Question "At a Glance" no longer showing temperature on the lock screen

Hello,
I've had this issue since launch and I can't figure a way to fix this. Basically, when I first got my phone, the lock screen was displaying the temperature under the time, with a "tap to learn more" button. And after clicking that, it simply vanished from existence, never to be seen again. It does show itself back when there's a Google Calendar event, but the temperature is gone. And after doing a factory reset recently, the temperature is back, with the "tap to learn more" (which I don’t plan to press, now that I know this will make it go away)
Is there a way to fix this? Thanks

That's a lot of overkill
Find the app and clear it's data next time.
There may be a conflict... like with the Google app*. Could be in settings, somewhere, or in notifications. Disable all power management for now... it will cause erratic behavior.
You need to play with it.
* that nasty little permission to change system settings... can be misused.

I get it. But I had to reset my phone anyway.
My problem is that it shows the temperature, but as soon as I press the "tap to learn more" thing, it shows a slide about at a glance and it just goes away.
So I don't think it's a permission issue if it works just fine before clicking on the forsaken text

You need to track down the associated apks first then look them over. It may be a glitch that you can correct or maybe resetting the apk data is the only way to correct it.
Try clearing the system cache.
Try it in Safe mode to rule out 3rd party apps.

The question is, does it even work for you? I understood that it will be fixed eventually but nah.
Also what kind of apk are you talking about? This is literally the lock screen

I don't have that device but troubleshooting is troubleshooting. You need to dig around for the apk but it's most likely there under system apps.
It's possible the firmware flash was corrupted if so a factory reset won't work. More likey it's a glitch.
Hopefully someone here knows the answer but it's not a major issue. I would tend to just ignore it other then to play with it as a curiosity. No doubt you'll find better fish to fry...

Question Advice on choice between rooting and installing a new Rom

Hi I have the OnePlus 9 pro running Android 12. Stock, with all updates. I have gotten fed up with the operating system resetting my choices on battery optimization and permissions. This is related to notifications. I do not receive notifications from apps unless I have both made them a battery optimization exemption, and manually given them all requested permissions. But every time I restart my phone, or if there is an update, the operating system resets all of these changes to default, effectively silencing all notifications from these apps until I manually change them again. It's upsetting enough that I have to make these changes in order to get notifications. The fact that the system resets them all of the time is just annoying. Can I disable the system resetting these changes if I root my phone only? Or is it necessary for me to install a Rom that doesn't do this to my apps? On a side note I use Nova launcher because I dislike the lack of customization from OnePlus operating system. Thank you for any advice you can give me
TL;DR: OnePlus resets my battery optimization choices and my permission choices regularly. Can I fix this If I root or is a new ROM necessary to stop this?

That's really odd that it's doing this to you. Never had this issue on any of my OP devices. Including stock OOS and custom ROM's. Which variant do you have, which firmware are you running, have you tried factory resetting then setting up your device and seeing if the issue persists?

Thank you for replying. My phone says it's Android 12 with the August 5, 2022 security patch.
Build # is LE2125_11_C.63,
Baseband version is Q_V1_P14,
kernel version is 54147-qgki-g2f286f199c5a,
Hardware version is LE2125_12.
I have not tried factory resetting yet, and if I get a new software that would happen anyway, so I suppose it's worth a shot. The phone also likes to reset some apps. Like the Twilight blue light filter app. I woke up one day to find the phone had reset the app back to default, and I had to set it up and all it's permissions up all over again. I didn't realize this wasn't normal because when I searched, I couldn't find anyone with the same problem. I just thought the battery optimization was super extreme this time around. I'll backup my favorite apps and try a reset and see if that works. Thank you again for responding.

Weird that when I woke up, Repainter reset my system theme I was using and even though it's still enabled app-side, it's disabled system-side. Now I gotta figure out why lol. I would recommend factory resetting for sure first to see if that helps at all. Make a full system/internal backup and copy it to your PC before doing so. Feel free to reach out if it worked or didn't work for you.

Look here https://dontkillmyapp.com/oneplus#user-solution

Thanks, I did go through that page already. Most of those menu options aren't present in the OnePlus 9 pro on Android 12, and the rest I tried but nothing changed. For example, I have my blokada app locked in the recent apps, but choosing "close all" closes it in spite of this. Just another mark against OnePlus' software.

I think you jinxed me. Repainter hasn't been working all day and the xda app won't let me login for some reason. It logs in, but still shows the key icon and none of my subscribed threads load. That's really odd that when you lock an app in recents, it still clears regardless. Which launcher are you using? When I was on OOS, I used Nova and when I locked apps in recents and hit 'clear all', said app would still remain. I didn't care to use OOS12, once I realized there was no color code theme option, I went back to OOS11 until I took the plunge to update my fw to use Nameless again.

I'm sorry! I have innate bad luck, sometimes it runs off on people. I was using the OnePlus launcher at first but after I switched to Nova it stopped happening I think. I've reset my phone now, hoping it is fixed.

I guess so! Still can't login to xda for some reason... Well that's good that so far it's working right. Sorry you had to reset your phone and everything just to get it to work again. I hate when I have to do that. Feel free to reach out again if it starts happening again.
Edit: rebooting seemed to fix the xda/repainter issues. Just sucks I lost my 10+ days uptime streak lol
