Whenever i take out the Spen is saying that is disconnected (no air commands), than i need to put it again, manually click it to reconnect... After some time it happens again... I tried to reset Spen and turn on option 'stay connected' but no hope... I'm not the only one:

Ohh. I've never seen anyone complaining and didn't knew this issue exist. It looks like more hardware problem not software. Atleast for me

..yes, confirmed issue here as well, just like you described..

I did not notice any issue with S pen.. I ll try more to see if I can reproduce this issue.
The only issue I have since the Feb update, is the Wifi-calling. For a month it was flawless, but since the update it won't re-connect automatically in a low service zone, EVEN if I have ''wifi prefered'' set....
This issue drive me nuts, I had to change the provider, then it was fixed, now the phone itselft seems to break it...

UK still hasn't got the update

Aren't the update sizes weirdly small for such a new device? S22 Ultra's first updates were all starting from 1GB and up. I wonder why is it this small now, clearly they can't be security updates only right?

Should I send it back? Dodgy GPS.

I don't even use the GPS much but this my second Samsung mobile with a dodgy GPS, is it a hardware problem or a firmware issue?
How quick are Samsung at replacing/repairing handsets? I don't want to send the phone off and then not see it for a month.
Sorry to bump the thread but somebody must have some experience with returning phones to Samsung, how long does the process take?

I've just tried out the Galaxy S2 side by side with my existing San francisco (ZTE Blade), outside in clear daylight and I'm getting approximately:
9.8 (feet) with the San Francisco (£80 phone)
40 (feet) with the Galaxy S2 (£400 phone)
What makes it worse is that the Galaxy S2 even has an additional satellite locked on
i dont think you should get it replced just yet, a lot of people are reporting problems with accuracy...just wait it out till a fix comes along

Do your saying it's a software glitch?
i would presume so, the fact that your getting gps lock and can see multiple sattellites means its working...my accuracy is never that great but works for navigation so its fine

Waiting for rma, random thought...

I'm currently waiting for my 6P rma to arrive, for battery shutdown issues, and a very small lift in the screen near Power/Volume buttons.
Since T-Mobile is going to start sending out an ota that will prevent Note 7s from charging, it got part of my mind wondering, are all the devices that are having battery shutdown/bootlooping problems (afaik, 6P, 5x, and some Pixels) using flash memory supplied by Samsung? How does a provider like T-Mobile target only Note 7s and not other phones that have Samsung parts? Is it purely based off of imei #s?

I've actually had the battery shutdown before Nougat. So there goes your theory. I will say that with Nougat, the problem definitely got worse and more frequent.

Just looking for any other commonalities among all affected devices (other than software). Afaik, the devices with these problems are 6Ps, 5x, and i guess now Pixels as well, from reading the reddit sub there. And i was mainly curious as to how a provider would target a certain phone model, by just using imei's or what.

Apparently the G5 has the issue as well.
Yeah, more than likely by targeting the iemi. I guess I read your op as you thinking them shutting done the note 7 possibly being a reason as to why this was happening. If that's the case then you having the issue before 7.0 totally debunks that.
I read huawei made a statement that the issue is software based. But I dunno, if that's the case, I have no idea why they would have offered you an RMA.
I've never had it happen to me, then again I don't think I've ever let this device get below 45% before I ran into a wall outlet, or a car

Haha no problem. Oh i didn't know it was happening with the g5. Yes, mines been happening since summer but infrequently. After Nougat, it's been happening more often. My rma was through Google not Huawei. I think in my case, it was because i had a veryyyyy small lift beginning to appear on edge of screen near the power/volume buttons, and i bought from the play store.
Well i wish it to never happen to your phone. Yeah i don't know who to believe, if it's software or hardware.

Well the update that is pushed out is a Samsung update(impossible to install on a Nexus), not a Nexus 6p update, so there is zero chance these could be related. I have two 6ps and no issues so far, knock on wood, one has Samsung storage and the other is Toshiba.
@Lawlrus hey buddy!
sorry somewhat off-topic, since you said that the random reboot is a Nougat issue, i thought maybe you'll know something about home button bugs i am having on Nougat based custom Roms.
it always happens randomly, or especially after i apply a theme with substratum (rom i use have full oms support) theme apply correctly, but the home button stops responding like when i tap it to return home it just wont do.
and it works again either after a couple of hours, or when i reboot the phone it works again normally. (and the bug will return if i uninstall theme and install another theme.) is this issue related to substratum you think ?

I had it on Marshmallow so it can't be a Nougat problem. The fact Google are RMAing them outside warranty also shows its not something they can fix with software.

I've noticed that as of late, and I don't understand what the issue is honestly. Normally after it happens, if I pull up recents and close all the windows, it works again
I'll have to start to take notice if its every ROM I'm on or if its isolated.
But yeah, its most certainly an issue with applying layers, as it just recently started happening and is the only time it happens. I do know that the substratum guys are making a ton of changes it seems as of late with the templates that themes are using, so its very possible that the next or a future sub update will fox the issues.

thanks , i am glad i am not the only one with this issue !
I'm about to RMA my 6P again because it started happening over the Christmas weekend. I won't if the Lemon Law would apply at this point, but then again, they aren't repairing it, they are just sending me a different phone to replace this one.

Honor 9 Home Button delay

Hello , i own Honor 9 for 3 days and its very good phone.
Only thing that i "hate" is when i press home button there is like 0.5 sec. delay before it goes to main screen...
I tried Factory reset,phone restart,google assist turned off - nothing seems to work
Finger print scanner works fast. No problem with it.
FW: B150
Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks
That because a simple touch is like previous. And if you hold for a second you go directly to main page. So it's normal
Mine has the same. Strange thing is that after a few hours usage it turns fast/instant all of a sudden. Then if I reboot it's back to the delay and then fast again after a little time. My first unit did not have this behaviour it was fast at all times. It had a faster fingerprint reader too. Not sure what is going on other than some kind of hardware differences.
Its normal don't worry about that.I too had a donor phone so I know this
That is strange as the Honor 9 has one of the best fingerprint scanners on the market.

That's definitely not normal. I've made a video https://youtu.be/DG4PvJePUAY
You can see a noticeable difference on the left phone.
I'm returning mine as this seems like hardware defect to me.
I have the same problem. Is it really an hardware problem and it is not possible to fix it by software?
Same here. Sometimes it even stops working, but rebooting brings it back (to delayed mode). Unlocking with fingerprint scanner always works super fast though. Anyone else with the same issue?
I got my AL10 version from china some days ago and i dont have any delay issues with the home button. Its really fast without any delay.
Maybe the ones from you that got problems should write down their version and used firmware. So we can compare. I dont think that this is a hardware issue.
I just assumed it was a hardware issue as it stayed even though I did a factory reset. Maybe a future update fixes it but I wouldn't risk it because my phone was new and I wanted one that was all good.
Settings
You can just go to the developer settings and tick "animation time" to 0,5

Honor 9 touch latency and sensitivity

Hi guys.
i made a short video in which it's shown what i mean
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6h645V_GLuQ
It is a comparation between my honor 9 and my moto x 2014 regarding display sensitivity
In the first comparation it's shown how badly the sensitivity of the touch is calibrated when small movements are made. The red circle on the honor 9 doesn't move
In the second comparation it's shown a swipe issue. If you look with attention you will notice that the last millimeters of a swipe are executed with delay. Infact you will see the red circle moving even though the finger is stopped
I'm using Android nougat b180.
these problems are very annoying, especially during games
Does anyone of you has tha same issue? (I think yes)
have these problems been fixed whit oreo beta update?
I have this issue and I always thought I was imagining the delay, thanks for demonstrating it in the video. This is one of the biggest problems for me as the phone is great in every other aspect

Did someone tried with Oreo Beta? Is the problem still there?
I agree with you, that's terrible. But I have to admit, without your post and without using multi touch tester, I didn't know my phone had this problem.
Usually I'm careful with the touch screen (cause old bad experiences) but this time in the daily usage I didn't notice it.
I hope that honor fixes this problem because for such a phone it's embarrassing, but anyway I continue to use the phone without any very big problem.

Activate or deactivate??
I also tried this - with pocket mode "off" an gloves mode "on" the phone seems to be a litte more responsive.
Either the touch-driver is crappy or meanwhile i got hallucinations. :silly:
But there is also more strange touch-behaviour:
If i scroll large lists in google news with repearted short swipes, the device stops within the list and changes scrolling direction. Looks like hitting a rubberband . This could be an issue of the touch driver or maybe a problem of emui.
Is there anybody using the early lineageos or Resurrection Remix who has also touch problems?

Touch Issue on G8X Indian Variant

Hi,
Has anyone here noticed touch issues in certain sections like the google feed? The phone starts detecting touches while I am swiping up normally. This happens in Boost for Reddit too. This is becoming a massive nuisance for me. It does not happen everywhere.

Not sure if this can be considered a ghost touch issue. Let's say I am swiping up on google feed, the phone instead of scrolling through my feed will open an article instead. It will register a click instead of a swipe action. I have enabled the "Show touches" option in developer settings and I can see that the phone screen is detecting a swipe, but the software is registering it as a tap.
Another issue is that my phones randomly stops reading my fingerprints.
I may have received a lemon.

I am using a note 7 pro tempered glass for my g8x. I was wondering if that's causing this issue.
I called LG service center today, he asked me to factory reset but no luck after that too. He asked me to get software updated from LG service center if problem isn't solved through factory reset. But i guess even that wont solve problem considering this factory reset experience. Seems their latest software is buggy or its hardware issue. Donno what to do should i replace product
I mean seriously this was their last year flagship n this irritating issue they have
Cant understand if they cant deliver good software then why dont they simply provide bootloader unlocking so that users can have custom roms. :X

I am using a note 7 pro tempered glass for my g8x. I was wondering if that's causing this issue.

I am using a different one. So thats not the issue...
I too experience the same issue. I had this issue without tempered glass and also with tempered glass from panthershieldz applied. We better try to root the device and install a different cfw to check it.
Happening to me in instagram

Not sure if this can be considered a ghost touch issue. Let's say I am swiping up on google feed, the phone instead of scrolling through my feed will open an article instead. It will register a click instead of a swipe action. I have enabled the "Show touches" option in developer settings and I can see that the phone screen is detecting a swipe, but the software is registering it as a tap.
Another issue is that my phones randomly stops reading my fingerprints.
I may have received a lemon.

I am just clicking on the Right side of a story and it sends me to the previous Story... And this is happening with much other applications too,... It's registering swipe instead of clicks
I have 2 devices, and I haven't encountered any such issues on either of them. Did you update the software on your devices OTA?

Can u tell software build number u have currently installed?
Hey guys. I think I figured it out. I am guessing most of us facing this issue are using gestures for navigation.
I put navigation buttons back and the issue stopped. Then I again activated gestures and reduced sensitivity. And issue is still not there. Again I increased sensitivity and still issue is not there. I am guessing it is a bug in gesture controls. Pls check and see guys.
If you guys still have the issue, then the other things I have done is a factory reset and a debloat of the OS.
I doubt these are the reason for fix though.
Phone now finally feels like a flagship after getting this resolved :good:

I am also noticing low FPS while using this phone. Is this why they sold it for so cheap? Because the phone is plagued with issues?

I suspected the gestures to be the problem and I tried disabling them, but it didn't help. I will factory reset it and check again.

Yes, they were. I bought them on the second sale day-at Rs. 22,000. Haven't had any issues in either of them.

I reset my phone and then removed all the bloatware as you did. The phone seemed to work well for a while but started acting up after a few hours. I did reduce the animation times to .5x though, not sure if that has anything to do with it, disabling them didn't fix it.

Mine is from the same batch. Not sure what's wrong here, since the issue is specific to certain applications.

Try reducing the gesture sensitivity. I have animations at 1x.
Sometimes the issue does pop up. But very rarely.
