updates to 2.2.2 but now alot of weird stuff happening

it was working fine at first...i rooted installed a few apps, but now its acting strange, it isnt force closing with the notice, it will just close instantly, this is random on all apps and homescreen, can anyone help? just to clarify...its closing stuff as soon as i open it, not all the time but its happening on and off....has anyone had this problem? because i for sure could not find anything like this

oh and it was via MSU i did the update and its also rebooting on its own alot too now

Did you perform factory reset after update ?

In this thread issues are being discussed as well. First thing you can do to reduce the number of problems is to master reset your phone. Please make sure you back up your data including the files on SD card. It took me two resets to make things stable but as you mentioned there are abnormality with the phone. We are hoping there will be an update soon.
On that note, you might want to discharge your battery to improve it as well. Recharged it from switched off and from wall socket. Good Luck.

Yes I did the factory wipe in boot menu like 2 or 3 times and had to clear cache in boot menu to get the camera working. It seems pretty stable at the moment because I did another wipe yesterday and unroot before hand ato fix it. And I havnt rooted yet bacause I want to compare hw it runs because it seems pretty ok at the moment so I might root again later to see if it starts happening again.
And thanks for the tip about the battery

Update....i rooted again but this time with gingerbreak and when I installed setvsel I enabled jit and jis made the phone alot faster! What is jit? What does,it do?

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.

Note 10+ - No sound from ear speaker

I've tried all kinds of stuff at this point, %100 know it's software, as I did the cache wipe and it worked for about 10 seconds during a call, then stops. Speaker phone works fine, but it's literally 0 audio otherwise. Tried even the google phone app as well thinking the samsung default phone app might be the issue, but I'm seeing this is happening to others in this thread:
https://r2.community.samsung.com/t5...android-11-update-in-galaxy-a10s/td-p/9197711
This started 2 days ago. This is a major headache for me.
Anyone have any ideas on a fix? or anyone else having these issues?

I wouldn't have upgraded to 11. Samsung uses specific little apks to navigate around Android 10's buggy OS. Over 100 were added to 10 aa compared to 9 to tame 10 down and make it usable. It's even more for 11, no doubt. It may be one of those added on apks that's the issue. Almost impossible to find unless you know which ones specifically to target. In 10 I was impressed by that little nightmare. Samsung is trying very hard, but they have a crapware Android 11's framework and Google's rules to navigate to do this.
Have you updated anything before this happened, if so go back to the factory load version.
Have you installed/uninstalled any apps?
Does it work in safe mode?
Try a network reset.
Try a factory reset if you get desperate, but it's likely to reoccur if you don't find the root cause.
You can use a package disabler to troubleshoot it by disabling apks one at a time, but there are literally hundreds. It will also completely clean apk data leaving no marks; clearing data in settings doesn't always and all it takes is one to screw up some system apps... been there, done that.
Unless you're in wuv with 11, I recommend rolling back to 10 if doable. It would probably save you a lot of time and trouble. Pie is for easier to troubleshoot than 10. I have two N10+'s, one running on 9, one on 10. They will never be upgraded to 11... that's how strongly I feel about it. I'm still getting to know the Android 10 variant's characteristics, so far no major issues.
The one running on 9 is fast and very stable, current load is over 1.5 years old.

Well that sucks, I bought the phone used with 11 on it already I guess I need to figure out how to roll it back.

I haven't installed anything for over a month when it started happening. Doesn't work in safe mode, only works for 1 call after I wipe the cache.

Well, this actually worked, hopefully I can just do the reset if it happens again. It's working on 2 test calls so far so, here's to hoping it lasts. Really appreciate this!

The upgrade from 10 to 11 didn't make much a deal to me, they aren't so different that it matters. I do think I'll look into how to downgrade to 10 though.
Appreciate the help!

Yay!
It was just a hidden settings issue. That purge should keep for a while. Occasionally I need to do it for bt on mine as well but never for the phone. Just a semi annoying glitch but not a big deal once you know the trick.
Rollback is likely impossible if it's a factory load because of the bootloader version. Typical of Samsung; I can't roll back my Q variant to Pie.
It depends on the bootloader version vs the rom version. The significant digit is the 5th one from the end. If the rom's 5th digit is the same or higher, you can flash it. If lower than the bootloader's 5th significant digit, no go.
In my case the value is 2.
I'm curious what are your impressions of 11?

11 is fine, this is my 2nd note, originally had the Note 4 and really loved it. Now this one, while I like the phone has a ton of bloat on it. This Bixby crap is just awful and now this speaker issue is really making me sour to it. I honestly wish I could go to a base build of 10/11 without all the crap added, I dont use any of it because it's just flashy bells with 0 function.

It's not as bad as it looks once you sort it out.
There seems to be around 80 apks I don't want running including lame bixby.
I use this package disabler to take out the trash.
Avoid using power management and the optimization options as they cause trouble... oh yeah is that turned on?!!!
If so, that's probably the cause.
In Device Care>battery, there are a bunch of options, only toggle on fast charging. Use medium power option.
Developer options>standby apps, all buckets should show as active otherwise power management is enabled! That power management enable/disable setting can't be changed here though. If enabled you can change individual bucket settings, but it doesn't work right. Uses more battery and will cause erratic behavior. Android will run fine without it once optimized.
It's not all bloatware, some is useful. Most just sits there and does nothing unless called on.
Some like digitalwell being, kid's whatever, FB, etc are just crapware. Gone.
Starting in 10 there are around at least 100 more smaller apks showing then in 9. These are essential to tone down 10 and 11. The Samsung version of 10/11 are much better than say Pixel's variant of those OS's. They only run when needed and don't seem to cause excessive battery usage.
All cloud crap including Google Backup Transport eat battery. Google play Services and Playstore I keep disabled unless needed. Google, app and carrier feedback, turn off.
Turn off Google Firebase unless you use it.
See if you can find a adb edit to kill scoped storage on your 11 if you want. I think it exist.

Question Multiple restarts

Just got my 6p yesterday and Getting multiple restarts and system UI crashes , I did restore my phone with apps ect I wonder if that could be the issue anything helps thank you .

Sounds like it. If your using a custom launcher delete the widgets and readd them

No custom launcher should I factory reset? or try something else will delete the 1 widget and see if that helps any other solutions is welcomed thank you

There are some people here that had a similar issue (including me), I myself had to get a new device (replacement) from Google to solve that issue. We already had/have a thread about this, maybe you can find some info there.

Okay thank you back from a restore less restarts but still getting them & phone freezes up from time to time guess this is a serious issue & not just software smfh.

I'd do a FDR and start from scratch. I know it takes longer but I do it with every new phone and after a major OS update. I'm a firm believer in not bringing any data over from an old phone.

Can you define FDR? I have done a factory reset if that's what you mean but I think I have fixed the issue will report back after 12 hrs of testing & results

I had the same issue before but this is what I had done before and after, so I hope this advice may help you.
I had come from a OnePlus 8 Pro, so I naturally wanted to transfer all data from 1 phone to the other. BIG MISTAKE! I had several reboots during the 1st few days. So I started searching around this forum and found a few people suggesting that you factory reset your phone but DO NOT TRANSFER any data from your old phone to your new phone (using the cable). Instead, factory reset your Pixel 6 without restoring any data, then once you get through the initial setup, upgrade to the latest version using an OTA file. Once you did that, then start slowly manually transferring the data from your old phone manually. This is what I did and have had no issues since, no reboots and everything seems solid. Battery life seems way better doing is this way and the UI seems more stable as well, as before, it would be janky and the battery would drain.
I hope this helps

I had the exact same issue and it was only solved by getting the device replaced. I found the replacement device worked better in all respects, not just solving the reboot problem.
Just get a replacement!

S10 plus keeps self-clicking on things like someone's in my phone.

this time I swiped down to click on the weather notification in my drop down menu, then it locked up, couldn't do anything, the menu closed and my google calendar widget got tapped to 2032, that's how fast it was it went through all the months for every year up to 2032. a lot of times if I do something whatever app I'm using turns into a small box and can't get rid of it except for hitting home button then a floating icon which I have floating icons disabled have to grab it and drag it down to a x remove box.
a ton of bizarre things have been happening as well just random **** like Facebook app actually got pressed then it tried bidding on some marketplace I had to keep on hitting home button and reboot the phone.
the screen is clean this is just really bothering me.

Find the cause today or factory reset.
Suspected malware should be promptly removed.
Clear system cache from the boot menu.
Try in safe mode, if it persists in safe mode, factory reset. If it's not happening in safe mode a 3rd party app is likely the cause, find and uninstall it!
Be careful what you install and download henceforth. Keep social media apps off the phone.
You need to keep your phone in check...

i recall clearing delvik or what ever n cache, in fastboot, files recache or what ever. when I do it on this S10 plus with one UI 3.1 it doesn't show optimizing apps when I clear dalvik and cash.
even Google speech is stupid

Optimizing apps? Turn that junk off!
Clear the system cache.
I don't know what you did but you need to sort this out. That's very abnormal behavior for a stock Samsung.
If you did any recent major OTA upgrades, factory reset. Do not use SmartSwitch, clean load.

i got rid of a few things, and cleared cache partition from recovery which apps use to get optimized, number apps on the phone, i haven't seen it since oneui 2.5 i think. seems like facebook app or another app i found out that google play removed was the culprit.
i also adb uninstalled some samsung apps.
i miss root, do what u want and if u fck up restore an image with twrp. and having a fcking sd card slot keep you images on.

Normally stock Samsung's like this are very stable, but they need to be optimized.
This N10+'s load is 2 yo now, still fast and stable.
You are what you install and download. Keep trashware and all social media apps off the phone.
Using Package Disabler makes troubleshooting easier as you can use it in real time.
