I awoke to my phone updated to Android 12 and I didn't want it like that. Now my home screen pic of me and my family is being covered by a large clock display,the phone is freezing or getting stuck now,and it's laggy. How do I revert my phone back to Android 11. Thanks

I do not have any screen protector
A band of my screen is unresponsive
If you open the Gmail app, it is the fourth email down
In landscape mode with Gingerbread keyboard, the letters F and C are affected
If I touch a section of the screen by the speaker and light sensor, not on the screen itself, the phone goes HAYWIRE.... literally starts pressing keys all on it's own, randomly. Sometimes holds keys down until I touch another part of the screen. Sometimes even hits the HOME softkey!
I think my phone is possessed.
For those who know a thing or two about phones........ would you believe this to be a HARDWARE or SOFTWARE issue? I'm planning on doing the 4.1.83 jump this weekend when I have some free time, hoping that will fix it, but if it doesn't, time for a new phone it looks like! Would like to know if this issue is a hardware issue and to save myself some hours screwing around with it if I should just head over to AT&T first....
Thanks in advance!
just realized I've got a unresponsive area on my screen as well. My unresponsive area is where the top, first of four, rows are on the home screen. doesn't matter if I'm looking at the home screen or pressing on that area within an app.
1.83 + root + sideloading + greyblur
** edit ** never mind... it magically started working. don't know why/how.
Updated to 4.1.83 and the screen is still screwed..... was so close to getting this thing perfect!!! Oh well, off to AT&T after flashing back to factory now....
EDIT - Okay, I guess not.... called the AT&T store to find out what I needed to bring with me to exchange, they don't do exchanges on devices older than 30 days - told me to call the repair center without telling me the Atrix isn't one of the phones the repair center has to exchange, so called warranty and got a refurbished Atrix on the way to me on Monday! What a hassle, but hopefully this will all be resolved soon....
I have this exact problem but when I updated to 1.83 it rarely happens to me now but before when I updated to 1.57 it was just like what you said... my phone was being possessed, lol.... anyway what I did was first, flashed sbf 1.26... updated via OTA to 1.83 then root using gingerbreak...before I installed GingerBlur 3.1
It still happens once in a while but its so much better now than before... also, if you have alot of widgets on your homescreens you might want to romove some..... dunno if that would help you but it did to me, hope this helps

I have a bunch of widgets on my homescreen, but that wasn't the issue - the issue was the screen itself.... Got a new one through warranty, TiBU on the old phone, went through the update process up to 4.1.83, restored from TiBU, and I'm back to having a working phone without any loss of response from the screen!
I bought an LG Mach LS860 (4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich) about a week ago, and I just found out about rooting. (This is my first Android.) I had no luck last night, but I tried today and I got it rooted.
Anyway... here's the problem: I was altering some settings with an app (I believe it was called Pimp My ROM.) and everything was fine. When I restarted, the battery was lower by about 7%. I figured the changes I made were the reason for this, so I went back and reverted them. However, when I restarted the phone this time, it wouldn't get past the boot screen. It would flash the Boost logo, go dark, then flash it again with an animation and a short vibrate. That's all. So I tried restoring the factory settings. (Volume down + power button, then power button and power button.) The phone went through and reverted settings, then rebooted. But THIS time, I got messages popping up like "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." I believe there was something along the lines of "Unfortunately, Home has stopped." as well. On a layer below that at the bottom of the screen, there was another type of error. I think it had to do with voicemail. After the phone sat there for a bit as I looked online for a solution, the phone restarted again. Now it just goes to the problem from the beginning with the boot screen. My computer makes a noise indicating the USB is connected, but all my phone does is charge off it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
It's not necessarily that I'm inexperienced. I've done all sorts of flashing and things on PSP. Obviously Android is much more complex. But I know that it's not bricked unless it won't turn on at all. Because that's not a brick.
There's also very little (if any) development for this specific model. No one cares about the LG Mach because there are much more well-known phones. But I digress.
Please help. I'm extremely desperate to get this working again.
EDIT: I recently thought of another question. Would the hard reset erase all evidence of the root access? Considering I just bought the phone, I might be able to send it back. But obviously if they know I accessed the root, the warranty is void.
Hi everyone, Apologies for the message I'm about to write as I'm very new to Samsung and not overly sure what to do here.
Basically I'm use to having a simple Jailbroken iPhone and got told this was the same when rooted, me and a friend of mine THOUGHT we rooted my edge, I ended up factory restoring it back to normal and setting all my phone up again.
But since then, I've had the 150.49mb Update come up a few times, It downloads fine but when I go to install it, It restarts my phone, then It comes up with the blue screen with the Galaxy & Android Logo for about 15 seconds.. Then the Yellow Triangle appears on top of it, and the Android logo looks like it dies lol
Does anyone know what I have to do to update my phone? I really shouldn't have touched my phone in the first place as I wasn't too sure what I was doing, I only done it to get this Certain UI Theme that didn't even work anyway!
Sorry to be a pain, very new to Samsung like I said. I'm learning as quick as possible
Thanks alot,
Courtney
My phone suddenly locked. I rely heavily on my phone as i use the android reminder system on my calendar as I have ADHD and cannot remember medication dose times so I set reminders and alarms, but now that my screen is locked onto bootloader unlocked white screen with red letters, I cannot use my phone.
I am having to set a big old fashioned alarm clock, which is horrible to wake upto.
I rooted it a year ago, even though I am very tech niaave, I watched a youtube vid and did it successfully, I wanted to get rid of moto bloatware, but didnt succeed
anyway, I a stuck on bootloader unlocked screen.
Somehow, i dunno how, i have managed to get onto the TWRP screen where I am presented with a number of options in the form of rectangles with one corner cut off.
I just wanna get back into my phone, but dunno which option to choose from these TWRP files, and which button to press to select the right option so i can get back into my phone.
I choose the reboot option on the TWTP screen after swiping it, and the screen just went black.
Every time I try to switch the phone off using the power button I just get this white bootloader unlocked scren again.
All was working well until my phone locked.
I had used ccleaner today and got rid of loads of junk clogging up my system, but phone worked fine after that, it was some auto download that happened later, that seemed to stop things, and lock my screen which was on calendar at the time.
I messed about with it, tried to google and get it to boot up normally, but i get stuck cos of all the jargon as I am tech naiive and amazed i was able to root the phone in the first place.
I just wanna get back into my phone and rid of this white booloader unlocked screen.
to complicate matters more, my battery runs out quickly so its always on charge.
So, if anyone can get me back into my moto E first gen as soon as possible, i would be most appreciative. thanks in advance and sorry for the urgency but i rely heavily on my phone as I am vulnerable and isolated without it.
Those who dont do facebook cant get hold of me.
I also downloaded unlocked bootloader warmin.zip but got stuck in cmd screen on 'waiting for device' so I abandoned that. I was never clear on when to have the phone plugged into the laptop usb.
So, at the moment, it is on a bright white booloader unlocked screen and migt as well be a brick until some kind soul can talk me through in a dummy fashion, on how to get back into my 1st gen moto E.
PS I prefer first gen as it has 2gb as opposed to 1gb internal memory so apps don't keep dissappearing, and I dont get low space messages despite having an sd card like I did with my old 1gb phone.
Please can someone help.
Hello,
my friend purchased a completely new Honor 10 COL-L29 running currently with EMUI 9.0.0. After a few months, he dropped the phone and broke his screen. When the phone came back from a screen repair center at our local mall it was stuck in boot-loop and sometimes if would never boot at all. Recovery only shows errors when I try to update software and data wipes don't work.
I am able to boot into the system sometimes when holding volume down and everything seems to be working fine but as soon as I open the camera or files app the phone shuts down immediately. I honestly don't know what to do anymore since the bootloader is locked and there are no fixes on Huawei website to look for. I am not a phone expert so maybe there is an easy way out of it. I would be really glad for any suggestions. Thanks
