Pop up then gone issue - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

Ever since the last update, my S20 on Sprint/T-Mobile is having an issue where a pop-up notification comes up from the bottom of the screen - and then disappears in less than the blink of an eye. Because of this, I have no way of acknowledging the message, nor can I tell what app is generating it. Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on how to stop it?
Thanks

Sorry... No idea. If you can reproduce the message, try to record it with another mobile.

[Q] Messaging App scroll?

I seem to be having a problem with the messaging app (the HTC one)
While typing a message, for some reason, the app will scroll upwards slightly (not to the top of the thread, just a bit up so the text box is JUST out of view). I then have to scroll back down to continue typing. Does anyone know why this might be happening, and if I can do anything to stop this?
Thanks
In landscape or portrait?

Only landscape as far as i know. I'm not sure if it happens in portrait since I only ever reply to texts in landscape.
I'm having a similar issue where the phone will start doing things on its own. I'll go to start sending a message and it will scroll and press random buttons.
Has anybody seen anything like this before?
Yup I have the same, strange and quite irritating.
I get this too, don't think it's happened in portrait for me yet, just landscape.
Also, when I'm deleting text it'll sometimes pop up the screen letting me delete messages instead of the text, so I have to go back and reclick the box to carry on again.
I've also noticed that sometimes I'll get like a new text message notification after I've replied to a new text, even though I've obviously read it?
This is quite frustrating after a while, can anyone look into this?
Im having same issue as well.
On top of that my received messages from people are time stamped a couple hours behind. Not sure whats going on here

Does anyone else have a problem with the phone typing in CAPS right after you slide out the keyboard?
Also, anyone know how to tweak it so when i press "enter" it sends the message?

I also have this happen to me, and the caps this has happened to me too. I hope this is fixable.
Hey guys,
just to update my findings, it sure seems to me that it's a light-sensor issue. Most of this happens in low or inconsistent light scenarios. In my case it happens specifically under or near one lamp in the early morning.
Can anybody else verify that it's happening in situations like this?
I'm seeing this scrolling issue too. As has been said, it looks like it's due to the program loading up all the previous messages, i.e. when it's finished doing that it then "jumps".

this is also exactly what is happening to me. perhaps a future update or a custom ROM might fix this..can anyone confirm?
I'm still very new to Android. Is the messaging app an HTC thing (my own guess) or a standard Android utility ?
Check this thread, particularly post 22 onwards, for details on how to replace the HTC version of the SMS app with another one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846231
To answer my question above - yes, it looks like the stock version is an HTC app, not an Android one.
Can confirm it's a HTC app. On my old HTC HD2 I used a total clean 2.2 android rom and the app is very different
Got both scroll and CAP problem, sometimes
I have the scrolling problem and also my sms notification does not clear from the notification window shade unless I click on it there. Going directly into the messaging app and reading/replying to the sms leaves the notification there.
I was using ChompSMS but that gave me jip with repeatedly sending the same sms again and again, so i switched to the standard HTC sms app - which has these problems!
had the same problem... handcent doesn't have this problem, and I installed a rom with the stock sms app (villsion) and have had zero issues since!
Yeah, switched to the vanilla messaging app and all is well.

Screen turns on randomly

Is this happening to anybody else? Every time it happens I expect a text message or email to pop up but nothing.
Im on stock 4.0.2 btw.

Only one app does that on my phone (Ultrachron) and it's a feature to let you know a timer is about to run out.
I would guess it's a (misbehaving?) app in your case, too.

I was thinking the same thing as well. The only app off the top of my head that could cause this sort of thing would be MyBackup Pro since it has a scheduling feature for backups but I never set it up for backups.
I guess a program like BetterBatteryStats can tell you which app switched on the screen.
This used to happen to me when I had my nexus one. Usually it happened when i got a call from a blacklisted number. The call blocker would sometimes be a bit slow on the uptake and the screen would switch on without any noise or call notification. I just happened to check the blocked call log and found that the instances matched.
Maybe something similar is going on with your set up.

[Q] Spell checker option crashes any app..

Hello all, I recently purchased this phone for T-Mobile USA. Pretty happy so far but one item is extremely irritating.
When texting (via stock messaging or hello sms) or writing an email via the Gmail app, any word that is underlined as a spelling mistake results in a pop up box for correction, when I select the correct word it will crash the app and show the message "Unfortunately, ____ has stopped." And it will close the app and not even save it as a draft. Lost some emails and many text messages to this. Simple example, "You're stupdi..." Stupdi will be underlined in red, as I select the word the popup dialog box gives suggestions, when I select stupid it will crash the app. I'm not referring to the hovering words but the actual pop-up dialog box.
Is this a known bug? Any suggestions on how to fix it?
I've never seen this on the z1c before, however I experienced something similar on an older htc phone. A factory reset got rid of the issue for me.

Still there..
Have factory reset the phone 3 times and cleared the cache each time before and after. Can still reproduce the problem without fail. Annoying as hell.
Not sure what to do.

Yep I have exactly the same problem...
+1 as well. VERY VERY VERY annoying.
Yes, I suffer this as well. Anyone made a bug report with Sony referencing to this thread?
Nope...I wouldn't know where to start but I'll happily back you up!!
For that matter, does anyone else have problems with the proximity detection playing up when you are on a call so that sometimes you press buttons with your face? Or do I just have a really fat face?

Glad I'm not the only one. Drove me crazy/
Temporarily solved the spelling issue by just turning it off and installing Swiftkey. Eh..guess I should be thankful for 3rd party apps.
Also realized the native text messaging app doesn't do group messaging. Sigh.
Nah, you don't have a fat face - I have the exact same issue also. Have to press the Home key to exit the dialer during calls or it keeps registering key presses. Doesn't matter if I smash the phone into ear/cheek.
Also random, when trying to us the camera, it will start but not show anything.
Some stupid bugs..hopefully in the new fix.
What ROM are you guyed using having this problem? As it's now occurring on a 4.4.3 kit kat PAC rom.

Having same problem in AOSB 1.3.3/KitKat 4.4.2 and AOSB 1.3.2/KitKat 4.4.2
Does not occur on Cyanogen 11-20140218-Nightly-mb886.
and there is a particular peculiarity to this (other than the absolute frustration of loosing a well composed email). As as I was about to post in the AOSB thread:
FCs in any app where word replace is used - but does not occur on the the first word that awaits correction.
For instance in new Gmail message type
mappp
mappp
Tap the first word, select from a list of possible corrections (map) and the word is properly replaced then, on the second instance, whether or you corrected the first one of left it alone, when you select from the list of available corrections (map) the app crashes. The same pattern is in evidence when the words the same (as shown here) or different.
100% recreate-able

Interesting. Thanks for suggestion. Switkey did not fix for me but perhaps because I'm on different ROM and phone. Still it looks really nice!
Latest Sony keyboard update from today fixes the issue so far for me.

[Q] Status Bar

At first I thought I was the only one suffering from this annoyance, but then I saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgvTFu6UKJI
See, the problem is that whenever I send or receive a message, this icon pops up. At first I thought I was delusional, but then it repeatedly became clear that this was truly a bug. I managed to get a screenshot of it (which was really difficult considering that it only pops up for about half a second). I want to know if I anyone else has had this issue, and whether or not someone found a workaround from it popping up. Anyone at all?
Are you using Hangouts?
Nope! Stock everything, and unrooted. Using the HTC messaging app

Probably Carrier IQ for some reason tracking your location. My LG G2 does the same thing.

This bothered me as well, but I have since gotten rid of it. Granted that you're rooted, you can download an Xposed module called NotifyClean. It listens for "notifications" in the status bar, and you have the option to disable them. Download/install/activate the module, turn on the listening feature, and send a message. When you go back into NotifyClean, you'll see "Data Usage". Select that, then select "Data usage is running". It should highlight the selection in red, and ultimately get rid of the little annoying icon that shows up for a split second.
It seems that I'm not the only one having an issue. Well hopefully there's a better work around for this because I don't plan rooting my phone for a long time! Flashing roms and tweaks could be addicting haha! Hopefully someone finds a better fix to hide this annoying notification!

Yeah, take it from someone that flashed a ROM today and every mod/tweak I could find... it gets addicting. I spent 8 hours at my computer today going over various mods and personalizing my phone. Unfortunately, I can't think of anything to help with your issue that doesn't involve root. If you know what is causing the notification then you may be able to go into settings>apps>all and disable the offender?

I managed to get a screenshot, and I checked what app was causing it but it was a system app called "Data Usage". Anyone know how to turn off data usage notifications? Turning off data usage alert doesn't help
This is normal behavior. While it shouldn't be popping up, its normal as in that it is what is done when a SMS/MMS is sent while on WiFi.
You can locate the app through Application Manager and tap it to Disable Notifications. This doesnt require root or anything.
Taking shots in the dark here, but there is a data usage section under wireless & networks in settings. In that menu there is a toggle for 'alert me about data usage'. You can then drag a slider up and down to set the cap for when your phone warns you about data usage. Maybe yours is dragged to the very bottom so it alerts you about any data usage?
Unlikely because it would show up during everything, but worth asking. Maybe just disabling the notification toggle would work. Also, does your carrier ship with specific software to monitor data usage? If so then check all of those apps settings to see if anything has any effect.
It doesn't matter whether or not the wifi is on, it still annoyingly pops up. I meant that you really can't disable notifications as it is a system app

I've tried that too! It still pops up, and it annoys me. Thanks for the effort though!
No, I don't think so. My S3 never did this. My phone is unlocked from HK

I read its some type of traffic usage. Someone here posted a picture of it here. Also I have an option on the ROM I'm running to hide that notification. O don't think its carrier IQ but then again.

Popup notifications are cut off

I'm noticing the popup notifications for my Note 7 are cut off for a second or so, then they appear full. Anyone else experiencing this? Photo attached
I thought it was just me. This has been happening to me also. I am trying to take a screen shot of it.

I installed Samsung's Good Lock from the Galaxy Apps store and haven't had the issue since.
