[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] talonpetty:
All,

First time poster, frequent visitor of XDA Forums. I've come across an odd issue that I don't know how to solve and I'm hoping some of you smarter than me folks can get me squared away.

I have a Galaxy S8+ from AT&T running Android 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1.

Problem

:

I've recently noticed a delay or completely non-updating interface on my phone. It updates on occasion, but I can't determine what triggers an update. For example, I will pick up my phone from the desk and when I press the power button it shows the accurate time. When I unlock the device, the sense flip clock I use on the main home screen shows an earlier time (could be 30 minutes... could be a few hours). I don't believe it's just the Sense app because I noticed this issue where I checked a facebook messenger app that came and and when I closed the app, it still showed I had 1 notification. I went back in thinking I had another new message, but I didn't. So it was still hanging on to the notification. It happened a couple times with a text message as well. Most importantly, my calendar doesn't alert me prior to an appointment either, even though it's showing in my calendar and an alert is active. If I save an event, and exit, I can normally see the event appear on the on widget immediately as well... but that hasn't been happening. I have to press the widget to open it and confirm it is there (which it always is). Eventually it refreshes and shows up. But that delay is likely the reason why I'm not getting my alerts.

All of this did seem to happen after a recent update Samsung/AT&T pushed out but I don't know for sure. I tried clearing the cache from the boot menu but it doesn't seem there is wide success with that.

And perhaps I'm just not a good enough user, but everything isn't all backed up in the cloud so doing the factory reset to me is always a fairly large task as I have many things to manually transfer out and then back in. Not sure if there are great tools that help with this on a stock phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MINTED7:
try disabling battery optimization for those apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] RossTeagan:
It seems that you have several bugs and if they all start happening after you have installed the latest update, then expect a patch coming soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] talonpetty:
I have actually done that. Found very limited success. I'm also finding very few results on this topic. Surely it's not just me though.

And I'm dreading the idea of a hard reset as I have many things on my phones, not all of which is sync'd to the cloud so it's a task to back things up appropriate. Specifically regarding "encrypted" apps like my password keeper app etc.

It would be great if there was a software application that allowed you to backup whatever is necessary to not lose data, then wipe the phone and instead of just simply restoring the full phone (which is likely to create the same problem one had before the hard reset), you could simply dump back in app data as needed. It would also help diagnose if the problem lies in a specific app's data.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] talonpetty:
High level overview of issues...

I have the Ring Doorbell app. I get notifications after "live". Could be 5 minutes, could be 1 hour... or possibly not at all. I have the app setup on my wife's iPhone and she gets them immediately. If I restart the phone, I will get notified right away (it's like it runs the app again and then I get the notification). Keep in mind, this is AFTER i disabled the battery optimization feature for the Ring app.

I also notice it occasionally with texting. I won't have any text notification in the notification panel, nor will my messaging icon have a little red circle indicating a message is there. But if I open the app, a specification conversation will have a red circle indicating a new text is unread.

All of this is leading me to believe the Samsung UI itself is not updating and therefore notifications that actually have arrived (from whatever app), are not displaying because of the UI and not because of their own delay.

Because of this concern I have turned off battery optimization for "System UI", "Themes", and "TouchWiz Home". I have not seen any change however.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] talonpetty:
[Solved]

I was able to determine by various other threads around the web (thought for sure I'd find it here, but I didn't) that the culprit might be the Google app. Supposedly it was fixed in some prior release, but it's not on my Galaxy S8+ w/ AT&T.

Once I disabled the Google app all the odd issues with notifications and clock interfaces and app icons not updating went away. The downside to disabling it is that I lose the Google Assistant functionality which stinks but otherwise there is no impact to using the phone. I re-enabled it at a later date and it worked fine for a few days and then started acting up again. Once I disabled it, the problems all disappeared. Clearly Google app is to blame.

Hi, I have the same issue, did u find any fix?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lraizer:
not yet brother. I'm really disappointed with this issue :( Is this happened to you after update to Android O? What did you try?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngelousJi:
I don't know the fix for this. I just kept my phone is my drawer for a few months and when I took it out, it was fixed.

Although I did note 1 thing - The display had started to show white noise as soon as it became hot. I had to keep it on a cold plate to make it normal again. The only thing I can recommend is putting it in fridge or something and then turning it on. Listen to me at your own risk. I ain't no mobile fixer, but just a random guy.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shhnedo:
That's literally the biggest no-no with electronics.

When you can't repair something on your own, you would usually seek out a person who can and, eventually, pay for the repair. You do not ask for possible solutions which you would probably not be able to perform on your own.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngelousJi:
This certain advice is being given everywhere. (Even I'm a bit skeptical on this). On that repair thing- I literally asked every single repair guy in my local city and not a single one could fix it. This nexus had just become my tinkering toy so I had nothing to lose. If anyone still has the value for it, please take it to your repair guy.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gingus7:
I think this is the same issue that I have. I talked to Larry from India at Google. He had the same issue with his phone and LG was fixing the issue for his phone. He said it was a connector from the board to the screen.

So he hooked me up with LG. I talked to Holly and she sent me an label and repair under warr. They extended their normal warranty. LG previously fixed the bootloader issue by replacing the motherboard, so this issue may have been caused when they fixed the phone. May want to try contacting LG, see if it helps.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moiragoatil:
Hi, i have the same issue on my Nexus 5x. did you find any solution?

This is the second time happened to my Nexus 5X. but it fixed with no reason after about 3-4 days i put into drawer.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] PhilD41:
Hello, I have an HTC-P4300 (not badged as something else) provided by an local wireless outfit. It is unlocked, actually I don't think it was ever locked! Anyway... I don't really want to update the ROM to WM6 or anything like that, but it has an old version of the .Net CFW on it. There are one or two programs I would love to run, but can't bring myself to chew up 12 of my remaining 14MB or device storage to install .Net.

For me, this begs the question if there is a way to replace the existing .Net in the ROM so it is not using my "user" flash? Any ideas would be great.

I am also a linux user so regardless of the solution I expect I will need activesync won't I? Anyone do these types of upgrade with Linux? Just curious. Thank you for your help and ideas!!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Johanncarl:
Hey guys couldn't find much help on the web about this so here goes:

How can I disable the audible sound that my device makes whenever it switches from Silent / Vibrate to the Normal profile?

The sound is the one Google makes when you click the mic icon and are about to start speech to text.

Its really inconvenient.

Was wondering if this is just a Nougat thing or something different.

Thanks heaps.

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Lordstark73:
Hello everyone, I have a Moto G5 (XT1672) and I unlocked the bootloader, and when I went to upgrade the android, on the rainbow screen of installing the update, it simply hung up and did not call anymore, and when I connect it on charger, it simply flashes the white LED ....

I installed the stockrom.net rom stock, the version that was on the phone, which was from android 7.0.

What can this be????

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] guiasaph:
Today I had the same problem. Please, can anyone help us?

I have tried every button combinations about 20s - 180s. Nothing happen..... When connect it to the computer nothing happens to. No driver is detected. Moto is just dead. Only blink the white led when connected to the wall or computer.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Derovile:
Hello, I'm having the same problem here in Brazil, I read in some Google+ problems that replacing the main board is the only alternative.

But I watched a video of the Moto G4 where Bob Tutoriais (YouTube) can access it through the Qualcomm driver. Could you try to watch and know if you have any similar method? Thank you for your attention.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] guiasaph:
The problem is that when you connect the device to computer, nothing happens... The motherboard seems not responding... I contacted Motorola today and tomorrow I'll send the device to maintenance.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Lordstark73:
Has anyone got it?
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] CypherPotato:
Sorry, your phone just died. There's no recovery.

Hardbrick. It corrupted the Bootloader partition, so it doesn't exist anymore. The only solution at this time is to replace the motherboard by an new one, in the future we can do Blank Flash, but Motorola did not make these files available.

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
Please stop spamming xda threads with the same question - its against the xda rules to which you agreed to when you signed up

There are currently no known working blank flash files for this device

You can try the mmcblk0 method but if it doesn't work for you there's nothing you can do other than pay for a motherboard replacement or a repair shop with tools to re-image the phone
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] h3sh11:
If you want this is Cedric blankflash

If it was from vache site it's already confirmed not working

If its the one posted in general section - again confirmed not working

[G4] Drivetester:
I need some assistance in UNlocking my 8125. I sent my phone into at&t for repairs, they sent the phone back locked. I am an old ATTWS customer, I have been waiting for one week for my unlock code. I recently purchased an 8525 and SIM/CID Unlocked that phone, but I need assistance with this phone. I have run the lokiwiz03a several times, but it keeps giving me "The system cannot find the path specified" on all the lines of the program. Of course at the end it does not provide an unlock code, It repeats the message.
[G4] zabardast_1:
I think you are not doing it proper,I may be wrong,but most probably you have to copy and paste two cab files 'Cert_SPCS' and 'EnableRapi' in the phone somewhere and execute them in the phone,then after that run 'lokiwizMSL' on your pc.

Cheers!
[G4] Drivetester:
I loaded both .cab files on the 8125, they both ran succesfully. I have the phone connected to active sync. I am at a loss on this. I have no clue why this is not working. I have flashed numerous ROM's on phones, this one seems to be a pain the in the behind. At&t just returned the phone from repairs, could they have installed something to block this?
[G4] zabardast_1:
hmmm,

really strange though,may be they have put some kinda special code on it.what repairs were carried on it ?

btw,have you tried to sim unlock with WST 4.2 tool,ask mestrini,if it might do the trick.

Cheers!
[G4] Drivetester:
I ran the WST as you requested. It is telling me that the DOC chip is write protected. When I run the CID Action and Run Super CID it returns that message. When I run SIM unlock it generates all the data from the phone and produces LOCKED in the status. At the bottom of all the data it returns DOC chip is write protected. I may be running this tool wrong, your info is appreciated.
[G4] kubek1334:
WST simlock tool doesn't work on G4.

Easiest way:

1. Run flight mode.

2. Turn off your Wizard and insert "bad" simcard.

3. Turn on your Wizzard copy Two cabs Cert_SPCS' and 'EnableRapi'

4. Install it on device memory.

5. Turn on phone (in commanager)

6. Run lokiwiz, it should work!
[G4] Drivetester:
How do I turn on the phone with the wrong SIm in the phone, it keeps going back to the SIM lock page. I am able to turn on the flight mode, but I can not do anything else, it keep srefering back to the SIMlock page.
[G4] kubek1334:
simlock screen = run lokiwiz and enter generated code. It must work ;)
[G4] Drivetester:
Everyline on the screen reports "The system cannot find the path specified" I think at&t has protected this from unlocking?
[G4] amendoim:
same happens to me
[G4] kubek1334:
try running lokiwiz from c:\

make sure that two cabs are installed ;)

wizard is an old model :) I think at&t is taking care over iphone now ;p

Is this a firmware update or a mod?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and M] Mentalmuso:
It's an app, that you install, that mods.

It's all in the op.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and M] lilmeanz:
Thanks I'm still running your LG v20 firmware I'll have my note 8 Monday
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and M] Mentalmuso:
FYI

This is an installable app. It'll patch the systemui that you installed with samfail with the necessary files for the mods. This may take 5-10 seconds, then the phone will reboot system UI. This will happen after you select your first UI mod. From that point on things will be applied a little quicker. You need to press the apply section to apply all mods.

If you select a 3minit mod, it'll do a full reboot as it needs to install the needed apks for 3minit. After which they will just be disabled when not in use.

Audio mods need a full reboot. Done by you.

Deselecting a mod and pressing apply will uninstall the mod completely.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and M] BlueFox721:
Yes bootloader update
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and M] Mentalmuso:
So I hear that the only issue here is that samfail2 is odexed. I'm 95% sure that if the deodexed systemui.apk from samfail1 is swapped out for the one in samfail2 rom, along with deleting the oat files, then this mod will work again.

I'm in the process of swapping things around, but if anyone wants to test my hunch, then please do
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and M] jameslapc2:
I've actually had no major issues with WETA on Samfail V2. Everything but the UI stuff works for me. I am happily awaiting anything that comes out. As I quite enjoyed all the stuff that you put out on the V20.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and M] Mentalmuso:
I actually don't own the snapdragon device so can't give you much advice. The SamFail thread mentions that samfail root doesn't trip Knox I think. Though I'm pretty sure pay won't work as it'll detect the system root

Activate 3minit battery in wetamod like you normally would.

Then select one of the 3 themes I modded by selecting 3minit battery theme in wetamod. It will override whatever is selected in the 3minit app
