I have tried several launchers, SPB 3D, Rigina 3D, Go, and all have giving issue with turning off the screen when I touch our and some times not. M gt screen time out is set to 2 mins. So that's not it. Anybody else having this issue? I issue seems to go away after returning back to stock launcher.

All I've used so far is the stock launcher but I"m getting fed up with it and thinking of trying something else. I'm kind of leaning toward Go but sounds like you've had issues with it.
The stock launcher has been shutting off on me for no reason at random times.

Ok this is what I have observed as well. I didn't observe this on stock, but noticed it on ADW, GO, SBC 3D, And Regina 3D. Sounds like a bug that not many are talking about yet.

A bit anoying. I am trying to use stock ROM too and I am having issues with shutting off screen add well. Very difficult to touch left side center of screen without the screen shutting down. I've done system restore as well, with no luck.hard to believe Moto missed this.
Seems if you touch screen longer than a second on left side, screen shuts of as well. Sometimes even without touching within seconds of a screen opening.

I'm using Go and I personally haven't seen this issue.
However, are you absolutely sure you're not accidentally covering the light sensor between the earpiece and the front camera? If you cover that, AND have the in-pocket detection set to "yes", you'll accidentally trigger the screen-off.
Of course that doesn't make sense if it's only happening on custom homescreens, and not stock. But I figure I should throw it out there just in case. In-pocket detection is the last option in Menu > Settings > Display.

it's happening to me on the stock launcher. I just saw that setting is turned on. I'll turn it off and see if that fixes it.
Thanks,
Well I know im not covering the light senser because I hold the botom with my left and tap with my right. I did tutn of pocket senser I will see what happens now.
And it was happening on stock.

screen issue
I noticed this happening on stock even with a different launcher layered over. As long as the original stock launcher is there/installed it happens.
I know this is not for everyone, but I have GO Launcher EX installed (which is my preferred launcher, everyone has there own) and after rooting I uninstalled the stock launcher.
I did this on my Droid 2 and noticed not only significant battery increase (as for some reason both launchers were running layered) but also no issues with the screen shutting off on its own as with the stock launcher.
If anyone wishes to also try this, do so at your own risk, but it is a suggestion that I have personally used and it has helped my phone.

I use launcher pro plus and have had no issues with it shutting off on its own. However, I have had problems unlocking my phone. Might be the screen protector, but when i drag my finger over the screen for the unlock pattern it thinks i lift it up halfway through the pattern and causes me to fail at unlocking. this is highly annoying, but i need lock on my phone. might move to a pin instead. All in all though, Launcher Pro is working like a charm. I use to use ADW Ex, but I wanted to try something new.
I was using launcher pro (free edition) and had similar problems. Mostly whenever my screen timed out and I would open it back up. Annoying enough to uninstall and go back to stock
I've been using Apex launcher forever now, and I've never had any problem like that. I have also tried out all the launchers you mentioned. And I always go back to Apex Pro. :good:

Had never heard of this app until today and I love it... Thought I'd give it a mention.
It's a complete lockscreen replacement.
does it feel as smooth as the standard lock screen? or does it cause some lag?

I haven't noticed any lag.
The only downside in my opinion, so far, is that the gmail icon counter only shows the count of your primary account. Hopefully they enhance that to show counts of multiple accounts soon.
The biggest down side about apps like this is its not a true replacement for the lock screen.. It is just an app that runs over top of the default one.. I bought widgetlocker and now dont use it. I will sometimes see the stock lock screen or it wont have lag when locking it.. I tried GoTo and its about the same..
I came from the iPhone and used intelliscreen which just added stuff to the default lock screen.. Was amazing.. Wish someone could come up with the same type of mod for the android lock screen.. =[

Testing more, the only time I ever see the normal lockscreen is if I enable the option to disable the volume/camera buttons. I reported it, not sure what they'll do about it.
That said, I don't actually want that option enabled so I never see the normal lockscreen in my real use.
I also still have not run into any lag, but I guess that will vary based on a zillion different factors from person to person.
You're right though, I wish that things like this could be true replacements.
Theres a way to disable the lock.screen on htc devices but that's cause its a .apk with some digging around I'm sure someone can disable the tw lock screen. Doing so would allow you to use the app without the stock lock screen showing up. Not to sure about lag thought

That'd be cool... I'll have to search around.
I need to use the phone for a bit longer and test more, but I went into Titanium and froze TWLauncher and I am no longer getting the normal lockscreen, even if I disable GOTO, so I think it is gone.
I do see the normal lockscreen very briefly if I reboot the the phone, but it goes away in a split second and I don't see it again unless I reboot again.
Perhaps that is all that is needed.

Nevermind... that SEEMED to work for a little bit, but now if I have the disable volume/camera option enabled I see the normal lockscreen for a split second again. It goes away quickly, but it does appear.
That said, I still never see it at all if I don't enable the disable volume/camera option.
Ok, I installed NoLock (free in the Market) and disabled the lockscreen with it and that works. I see the normal lockscreen very briefly upon a reboot, but never again after that.
I tested a bit longer this time before saying so, lol.
This thing works flawlessly for me. Sometimes my fat fingers have a hard time stopping on the text message one, but that is user error.
Goto is awesome... it even ran with no lag on my hero

I've also been using it for a day now, and it's a really nice app!
Been seeing the regular homescreen quite a few times though, will try to disable the "enable the disable volume/camera option"' option...
yeah as someone else said you have to use nolock (market) with any lockscreen app but i've heard that it does make it pretty flawless
You can do this and it's probably easier to change your lockscreen over and over, but you can navigate the system, or apply a new theme which either way can change the system files. Someone more knowledgeable than me can chime in as to what you need to do, I'm not sure if you can delete it and disable it that way or if it just puts something else up instead, but I definitely know you can theme the lockscreen because I have seen different ROM's have different lockscreens.
Thanks for.posting this app. Its pretty good.

What about the power consumption?
After 7 hours the battery is completely empty. This is not normal, right? ( HTC DESIRE HD )
Well this one isn't so difficult but I though I'd share for those that have not worked it out yet.
The LG Device Test "HiddenMenu" is apparently on all shipping phones and it's simply disabled via removing the menu entry.
To activate you need to create a shortcut to this hidden menu. You can do this with most replacement launchers and apps like BetterCut.
Example using LauncherPro (others will use a similar method):
Long press on home screen
Select Shortcuts
Select Activities
Scroll down to and expand com.lge.hiddenmenu
Select HiddenMenu (first entry)
Enter Shortcut name
Click on shortcut to launch
Hit 'Thanks' below
Also now Logcat app:
As above
Scroll down to and expand LG Debug
Select LG Debug (first entry)
Enter Shortcut name
Click on shortcut to launch
Hit 'Thanks' below
Enjoy the vast amount of options and tests in there, and be careful as some are destructive.

I don't think I get the former, but certainly dodgy behaviour immediately after boot.
I have started getting the message count now when the stock screen flashes up. It seems to count all messages, read or otherwise.
Perhaps somebody can start a confirmed & common bugs thread in General for a good collection of them.

I can't use a long complex password to connect to a WiFi-G AP, but a simple password works just fine.
Music controls return to notification shade sometimes after a reboot, box in Music app is still unchecked.

Hey all ....
I am having some extremely frustrating problems with Widget Locker Lockscreen here on my HTC One.
First, I can't seem to get the homehelper to work correctly as it doesn't even look like its saving my settings when I switch launchers or anything for testing. I don't need a PIN or security on my phone as deep as setting that, I just don't want the home button to take me to the home screen when on the lockscreen. GO locker did this beautifully for me, and didn't have the second issue below.
Second, when it does work for like 10 seconds, I get an annoying flicker of it trying to paint the homescreen then going back to the lockscreen.
Anyone else experiencing any of these issues or know how to fix them? I have emailed the created of WL a couple of times stating the problems I was having within the app and got nothing back, so its time to ask the XDA Community.
Thanks
I experienced the same problems as you. It was an amazing app when it was on my Nexus one, still is used. But on the Htc One its pretty lackluster. I know I have nothing to contribute but I just uninstalled it...

Hey, I'm on fully converted GE. I use nova/widgetlocker religiously. Unfortunately, I have the same problems when I try to use homehelper. Its like an inefficient workaround, shows the "redraw" of home but tries to maintain WL. This isn't a working solution. I've disabled it and for the time being, I've just tried to ignore the home button while lock screen. Its always just power button or swipe (if i'm using custom kernel) then unlock using lockscreen. I've looked for other lockscreen alternatives but in terms of features, nothing compares to WL. I hope the devs bring out an update in the near future to address these issues.

Turned on HomeHelper ondemand via root .... it stopped the home button bypass of the lockscreen but I still have the flicker
Crazy observation ....
I cleared all my settings, defaults, etc this morning before I posted about the homehelper with root .... and still had the flicker
Just playing around with my phone now I changed my lockscreen to have an alternate background from my home screen .... no more flicker on my device ...
Do you guys have alternate backgrounds? If not, can you try switch to one and see if you still get the flicker?

I can't see why it would be limited to ARHD and GE Roms on the One, but since I don't know much about how these are put together, I guess anything is possible.
Also to note, after my change yesterday, I haven't had an issue since.

Well I dunno about you. But I am not having any issue for when someone calls me. but then again I didn't put any sort of security on my phone.
I just have Widget Locker Lockscreen enabled. someone calls me goes straight to answer/decline for me
Using default lockscreen, there is this cool feature (widget?) that shows controls and info of music that is currently playing, no matter what is the player you are using (I use both Spotify and Poweramp). Is there similar widget available that could be used with Widget Locker? I have found some that has support for Poweramp, but for spotify none. I'd rather not add both player's own widget to Widget Locker, it would be just spending space (and Spotify's widget is quite ugly).

me too, but that's the problem: you don't have to swipe up to answer or decline the call, the phone is unlocked so you only have to tap answer or decline... this may cause you to accept/decline calls by accident
I would like to have the default incoming call screen where you have to swipe up to accept the call together with widget locker, but I didn't find a way yet to achieve that

Okay guys.
Just got the official Pie update and it seems that a couple of features are missing.
First, long press "recent button" to split screen in two. (When using full screen gestures), like, there is no way to get another app while listening to YT with screen gestures.
Also, "swipe fast to right" to switch to the last recent app is not working when "Gesture Hints" are hidden
Also, I cannot make apps go into the "Window mode", like swiping from the top will not minimize apps, it will just throw notification bar.
Am I perhaps missing something here?

No, I found these, I just don't feel like swiping and tapping 5 times to get split screen instead of one single long tap.
I thought that split screen or at least previous app would be long swipe to the top, like with home button when you can activate Google assistant.
I just hope that they will bring that option in the near future.
I really miss fast switching to the previous app.

Sadly, samsung implemented a multiwindow close to how google do it and killed their great android versions multitasking ability. It's really not only annoying, but strange why they removed something that they were praised for in android 7 and 8 and before. At this point I better get an iphone as the multitasking is the same (irony).
To show you how rushed (and this sound even funnier given how much time they had) the android 9 is, I will just tell you that you can swipe home-hold and it will run google assistant (like the older home button hold). It's like common sense that they could had done that to recents too - swipe up and hold for instant split screen, but nope, they didn't. Never mis triggered the assistant when going home, so this is not the reason.
Also they removed the menu between two split screen apps, so if you want to switch their places (for example youtube and viber so you can watch the video that is on the bottom while typing) - touch luck b*tch, now you need to close both and open again in the right order rofl (also there was popout there in the same menu). They removed so many key functionalities on a phone promoted BY THEM for multitasking and staying on oreo is not an option for obvious many reasons.
Edit: also the exynos note 9 drop frames in the UI like it did @ oreo if not worse (after it's settled down)... so you got also that.
Issue that i have is in settings, security if i deactivate the Find my Device option, when i restart my phone the option has been reactivated. Also sometimes the full screen gestures so working.

Also, I cannot make apps go into the "Window mode", like swiping from the top will not minimize apps, it will just throw notification bar.
Am I perhaps missing something here?

Which Note 9 do you have? I believe it's not the US Ver.?

No, I found these, I just don't feel like swiping and tapping 5 times to get split screen instead of one single long tap.
I thought that split screen or at least previous app would be long swipe to the top, like with home button when you can activate Google assistant.
I just hope that they will bring that option in the near future.
I really miss fast switching to the previous app.

I took advice from another XDA user*: I installed an app called Edge Gestures https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.edgegestures which is helpful in restoring a fast switch back / split screen method.

Yeah sorry Samsung but your one ui is garbage, looks horrible and I can't stand looking at this navigation bar everywhere, no auto hide option at all now? I switch to the gestures option instead but swipe up for recents doesn't work at all. Also no update to their own good lock app and without that my phone looks even more like trash lol The notification panel is horrible, just a big white block with some blue buttons, my good lock one was so nice, also back to the boring old task switcher I was looking forward to this update so much, but it looks like arse...

It's not.
It's international n960f Exynos version, but anyway there should not be any difference in the software itself.

There is also a workaround with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid
It's even more prettier, but to be honest, I'm tired of using ADB, rooting and so on.
I had note 2 and note 4, rocking custom roms since beginning, but now I just want everything to be original, and logical.
I have no clue what the f were they doing while in beta, I mean, come on, no fast switching to the previous app if screen gestures are hidden.
*Amazing*

Feature and productivity wise it's really a big downgrade. Also those notifications that take the whole screen... seriously. No thought put at all. All is done considering galaxy s10, I am sure of that... and especially nothing was done considering the note 9, even the rounded corners are matched for the s9 rofl.
Only things that a peeving me on Pie is the fact that I have never in my life used Duo or installed it but in my settings/accounts it shows Duo, I remove it but after rebooting phone its back??? that and the inability to deactivate Find my Device, I deactivate it, but after rebooting phone its reactivated again... any ideas (maybe with ADB to sort these 2 issues out?)

screen flickering when calling
Hello guys!
I have updated to one ui on my international galaxy note 9
I have an issue, the screen flickers when I make a call, it's very annoying, anyone facing this?
thank you for sharing information <3 :good:
As seen here, this is the most annoying bug on the phone now...
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyTab/comments/l3wnhr
This is for people on One UI 3.1 using third party launchers. You might come across a bug where:
1.The launcher keeps stopping/force closing or
2. Exiting an app causes the screen to flash and does nothing if you touch the screen immediately after.
Any fixes or workarounds?
I've had this issue with Nova Launcher and my S21 Ultra. Haven't found a permanent fix for it as yet.
thats weird I have had my s21 ultra since 5 pm yesterday, thats the first thing I did was download Nova, that's all i use, and have not had any issues with what you guys are having.

I believe we (AUS) owners are one firmware release behind (I'm on AUA4 with a build date of early Jan where the latest is AUAC with a build date later in Jan) so perhaps it's been fixed in the latest release?
If I use the Samsung gestures (swipe up from the bottom), Fluid Navigation gestures doesn't actually prevent those gestures from working for some reason (even after running the ADB command needed)

Yes these bugs are unacceptable
I have this issue as well where swiping up to go home causes the screen to flash and become unresponsive for a second or so. It only happens with gesture navigation and a 3rd party launcher.
I'm on the update release January the 1st. Is there a chance this is fixed in an update already available in part of the world?
Never mind I already have AUAC. that does not fix it. We may need to report this bug to Samsung. Has anyone done that? Chances are a fix is coming since they did fix the rest of the issues that were on earlier oneui versions for gestures in 3rd party launchers.
Did anyone confirm this happens in all 3rd party launchers and not just Nova?

Are you using gesture navigation? AFAIK it only affects the home gesture. Use Nova, launch an app. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to go home and immediately after, try tapping an icon on the launcher screen to launch another app. You notice no unresponsive issue here?

I'm on UAC since yesterday evening but this issue only happened when I first got the phone on Monday. I went into Nova settings and set it as default launcher. Since then no issues at all.
I Infact replicated the steps you just mentioned and was not able to reproduce the issue. Using the Samsung swipe up navigation gestures for clarification

That's interesting. Exynos version? I wonder what causes some of us (most?) to experience it but not you. I've set Nova as default in the system settings, not in Nova, but that should produce the same effect. Did you do anything else between the non working and the working state?
By Samsung swipe up, do you mean swipe up from the bottom in 3 different places rather than swiping screen left and right edges to go back? I use the version where you swipe left and right edges for back. Is that it perhaps?

Yes exynos. India variant. And yes for your last question too. I prefer the swipe up gestures because using the side swipe with a case I couldn't get it to work reliably.
I'm sorry I couldn't find the setting for this in the settings menu so when I first experienced this issue I simply set nova as default through its own settings.
Also I had used smartswitch cable transfer to migrate all data apps and settings over from the S20+

Oh I saw just now that this is already stated in the top post. I couldn't see the quoted area on my mobile, now I see it. The bug is only present with google gestures and there's a hint on how to bypass the problem with one hand +, I'll try that now.

yeah I`m old school and just use the buttons at the bottom, I don`t care for navigation gestures, that would explain why I don`t have the issues, lol

Yeah saw just now that it does not affect the Samsung style gestures.
Thanks for this thread, this was driving me crazy, i tried Action Launcher, Niagra, Smart Launcher and they all have the stutter when you return to then home screen when using android 11 gestures. Samsung gestures fixes but my muscle memory is to swipe from the sides for back so i'm struggling with it. Currently back to the One UI launcher to be able to use android gestures seamlessly. Hoping for a fix to this in future updates to OneUI but doubtful!

Use one handed operations+ from play/galaxy store. I hated android 11 swipe from left to go back, because I'm used to open menu in many apps from the left side and now it was going back, with oho+ i have swipe back from right and normal left side without any commands, also that app is OP so you can customise it even more
Wrong alert, still not solving the gesture when you swipe from south to north (down to u

Fantastic, this does the job perfectly, if you were here I'd hug you right now
Does not solve the gesture usage on the bottom.
I have a different issue wherein even tough I have set Nova as the default launcher, after a reboot, One UI launcher is set as default again. This doesn't happen all the time though but just random.
