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.

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.

Before anyone just says yes, please look at my situation.
I am running the latest stock JB update, but there seems to be a lot of lag. I installed the update using Sony's software as an upgrade and kept all my information and apps instead of doing a clean install. Is the following behavior normal or is this something a hard reset would fix?
1. If I manually close the phone app, and then launch it, I have to wait at least 3 seconds for the phone app to populate (i.e. show keypad, and call history)
2. If I manually close the Google Now app, then launch Google Now from the homescreen seacrch widget, I have to wait at least 2 seconds for the Now app to fully load and for the soft keyboard to launch.
Are these wait times normal for the Xperia S/SL? I am considering a hard reset of my phone, but would rather not waste my time if this lag is typical.
Sooner or later it'll become laggy, so it is a temporary fix at least for phonebook

Wait times are pretty normal.. But a clean install of any ROM will prevent lags or bugs.. Do remember that..

Thanks guys. That's unfortunate to hear, but at least I don't have to waste my time looking for a non-existent speed boost.
After rooting, and uninstalling a massive amount of lg bloatware, I decided to switch to the android runtime (ART) before I installed all my apps. Once it rebooted and compiled all the apps, the settings would no longer function. My guess is it compiled wrong. Perhaps due to the missing lg crap that it linked to.
With the settings not functioning, I could not use the phone really. Could not even get it to connect to my computer. So my only option was to try a factory reset. This just made things worse. The settings app would still not work, but now I can't even get past the error, because it has to load as part of the setup. It was functionally bust. I had to bring it back to verizon and they replaced it.
I want to use ART, so my question is this; Do the missing apps that settings refers to affect it's ability to compile? should I switch to ART before deleting bloatware? Has anyone used ART successfully, and if so, did you delete lg's crap first?

I used art for a while, but I stopped because in using xposed. I uninstalled a lot of apps and I had no issues. What model are you using?
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Tried Again
Verizon model: VS985 4G
So I went at it again with my new phone. Seems to have worked this time. Everything running smoothly on ART.
The play store wouldn't download anything, but I realized that was a dependency issue. It needs download manager. Reinstalled that, and everything seems fine. Not sure what went wrong last time.
I am getting random shutdowns though. Frozen shutdowns, where power wont restore until the battery has been pulled. I don't know if the issue is related.
I had a bunch of freezes when I was running art. All requires a battery pull. I am back to dalvik and getting significantly better battery life and no more freezing.

I'm currently running ART on my VS985. Also getting the random freezes. Battery life hit appears to be tied, at least for me, with the Phone.apk. The dialer barely ever works, and my battery graph shows its frozen butt to be a hog. Actually have to voice dial through Google Now to call anyone :silly:

Something tells me that ART is not worth the problems you are having and should just go back to Dalvik?
Problems not just in ART
So I did a factory reflash of my original firmware. This time I stuck with Dalvek to try to avoid problems. But Apps were downloading very slowly from the play store, so I went to settings, app manager, and cleared the data for the play store. Apps downloaded better. But after a reboot, the settings app wont work, crashes every time something tries to load it. And with that the case, I cannot even get it connected to my computer.
the last time this happened - not only to me - not even a factory reset fixed it.
at least it isn't shutting down randomly anymore... I guess.
This is by far the most buggy phone I've ever had. And the model I have, the VS985, is one that has yet to have the bootloader unlocked.
Anyone been able to fix a broken settings app without reflashing the whole rom?
Hello everyone
I have been experiencing force close after force on my Pixel 3xl. I ordered my pixel 3xl on launch day. A week after receiving my device I started to receive sluggish and force close after force in several different apps. I have never experienced android behaving this way. I started to notice that the phone would get sluggish when using Android Messages. When I am receiving an MMS message the phone will lag and then the message will come through. After messages started to act up, other apps such as; Flamingo for Twitter, Instagram and Google plus would force close. For starters I don’t run any app killers, or ram management. I thought the December Pie patch would fix the issue, but I still see it on a daily basis. I reset my phone, and less than a week later, I would see this same behavior. The phone is basically unusable. I contacted Google for an RMA. They processed it and the new phone is still acting this way. This is really odd this behavior would be happening to 2 phones. I have reset the new phone from google once. Not only is this behavior odd, but it would be really hard for me to believe I am the only person experiencing this issue. Thought about rooting it but don't know if that would even help.
Side note: I have noticed when in flamingo for Twitter or Android messages that the phone takes awhile to open or back out of a picture. Sometimes a white space will show near the upper part of the phone (both sides of the notch)
Any help would be appreciated.

Two phones exhibiting the same behavior? It has to be something you are adding (user apps and/or settings) as you set the phone back up. You said "less than a week later" you would see the same behavior- but that means for the first week it was acting normal, correct? Try running the phone in safe mode for a good while and see if the situation changes. If the issue goes away it will confirm it is one or more of your user apps is causing the issue. If it remains the same I would flash a factory image from fastboot mode and let the script wipe the phone (don't edit the script). This is different from a FDR (reset). Then when you set the phone back up add any user apps in stages, allowing a period of time between setting them up. Are there any apps you suspect? Any "non-market" apps? Rooting will not help you, so I would leave that variable out of it until you get the problem sorted.

I don't use Facebook or Snapchat, I know those apps are really tough on the ram, so I stay away from those. I don't install apps that aren't from the play store. The weird part is I've installed the same apps from my pixel 2xl. I don't install alot of apps to begin with. Ive researched people having issues with the Android messages app and there is a Google forum for this issue, however I installed Textra and I still see the issue just not as bad. During the last reset, I took days to install flamingo for Twitterand Instagram because I suspected them being the issue. Yesterday, I installed them and I started facing the issue. I uninstalled those 2 apps but the issue persisted. Now, it could be those apps but to me it would be a widespread issue if it we're those 2.
List of apps
Most Google apps. Gmail, maps etc
Instagram
Backdrops
Flamingo for Twitter
Navy Federal
Wells Fargo
Vanguard
Ally
Vip access
Hbo now
Netflix
Showtime
ESPN
Relay for Reddit
Nova launcher

I still believe that because you experience this same issue across two different phones, it is something in your personal setup. No abnormal indications under battery usage or data usage (background or foreground)? As suggested earlier try running in safe mode for an extended period. If the problem is gone, you just work your way through the suspect apps until you find the offending one. You can also try resetting all app settings under System>>Reset options before resorting to a clean flash.

I agree has to be a user app, my 3xl doesn't exhibit this issue. My crappy banking app does this but its very poorly optimized. App devs need to catch up to 9.0

It's not Nova Launcher. You mention slow picture access so I would be looking at apps in that direction. Any apps consistently FC more than others? Do you use cloud backup for Photos? Do you have any super large photo speres, panos, or RAW photos on your phone?
Edit: another thought would be to run a quick check on the non-Googly apps for "last updated" timestamp on the Play Store. You may be running an older app that hasn't been updated in years and is written with an outdated API.

The only apps force closing more than others are Android messages, flamingo for Twitter, and Instagram. It will start with Android messages, which causes the device to slow down, then the other apps follow by force closing. The device always seems to hang/lag when a group message is coming in. I only back up through Google photos on wifi. I combed through the settings and nothing stands out that could be causing the phone to force close these apps. For now, safe mode has the device working normal.
So My phone was @ 8% battery and I wanted to save what life my phone had until I got home. So I put it into battery saving mode at maximum saver. Well then I lost my Keyboard to get back out of it when I got home I'm using the gboard keyboard and have Package disable Pro on my phone with the Samsung keyboard disabled so I'm not sure if that's why or not but I really don't wanna have to factory reset my phone unless that's my only option. I have Nova on my phone as well so i know I can backup my settings I have from that cause I do a backup and send it to myself every 2-3 weeks I have also done a google back up and Samsung back up recently
Please Help
Newbie to Android
Hrein
I never put it in maximize power savings because it goofs settings up but nothing that can't be undone.
Try disabling the 3rd party launcher, they can cause a lot of trouble. One cost me 2 back to back reloads.
You say you lost the Samsung Keyboard completely?
Try a forced reset ie simulate pulling battery. Try clearing the system cache on the boot menu.
Probably a settings glitch.
If that doesn't work in PD MDM clear the Samsung keyboard data. The corrupted data maybe in another app if that doesn't work. Last resort Google it as someone with another galaxy device has probably had this happen too. If it's running on Pie your chances of a Google search cure is better.
Last resort after that is to do a Settings reset.
If the OS is old and especially if it wasn't reloaded after the firmware update it's reload time.
You can get a fast .5 tb Lexar SD card for $75. If you have a lot of music files, vids etc on the internal memory like me, transfer them to the card to save space and reload time.
Get the app APK Export and make a copy of all the apps you have loaded and save to the SD card rather than reload it off Playstore or whatever.
I have copies of my system apks as well for backup. APK Export allows batch processing, it's free with no adware on Playstore.
Lol save a copy of that too in case Playstore cans it.
I'm on my 3rd reload and this 10+ runs the best it ever has. Rock solid stable and fast.
Watch what apps you reload.
I highly recommend using the Samsung launcher for best stability and performance... it's that good.
Use the Samsung Icon packs, themes and the Samsung Good Lock family of apps. Use these customize it instead of the 3rd party launcher.
They run very well, look great and use little resources/ battery.
Reloads are good as you'll find new settings and features you never knew were there. You lose the problems caused by crapware that uninstalled poorly.
You come out with a better 10+... nothing beats a minty fresh clean OS load.

WTF? Clear Device Manager updates and go with the factory load version. The updated version sucks.
So I'm experianceing hight Temps according to what I've looked up I'm in the 104-105 range Fahrenheit when it's just sitting on a table I've tried all I can think of besides a factory reset can anyone give me any advice on what I can do or is this a problem that need repair
What apps are running in the background?
What OS version?
Clear system cache for starters.
Do not let it run that hot. Cool it or turn it off.
Android 11 one ui 3.1 Clearing the cache was the first thing I did and I don't really run anything in the background I try to keep It minimal as Posible it just started doing this it was fine for a long time
I'm still running Pie... for good reasons.
After updating to 11 if it was a OTA update did you do a factory reset?
No I'm trying to avoid a factory reset if posible and I've had mutiple Ota updates since 11 came out my phone came with 10 so I had no choice with the version of Android to run it just startedd recently I've put everything into deep sleep that wasent necessary and still getting hot so it's not background apps
If you didn't do a factory reset after installing 11, it's time to do it. No way around it. Major changes were made and without a factory reset it will keep puking on you.
Do not use SmartSwitch as it may drag along some of the bad settings with it. (You can use SmartSwitch to make an emergency backup in case you forget to save critical data but using it may put you right back with the same issue.)
Disable all power management as it's notorious for doing this. Lol, it can't get worse.
