It has been a few months now and I have dropped my phone a few times since then, although no noticeable damage. Few things that occur:
-Sometimes auto-screen rotate does not work and I will have to restart my phone.
-When I take pictures, the result of the photo is turned a different way and I would have to manually rotate the photo back.
-Sometimes when I take a picture in superior auto mode, it gives me a 1 shot burst. I'm not holding it either. Restarting phone solved this problem.
Two issues that have been around since I first got my phone:
-I have more wi-fi issues with my Z1 than my Z. It often drops signal.
-Camera button sometimes does not work while phone display is off.... however I believe the kitkat update fixed it as I no longer have issues.
When in auto mode the phone anyways made the pictures as burst shot for me, it didn't matter when it was only just one picture.
And about the rotation issues, don't you disable rotation (if not, try enabling and dialing it next time it won't rotate) ?
Sent from HTC One m8, or maybe not anymore
I also have the rotation issue, sometimes when I play a game that relies on tilt, it doesn't work until I restart the phone.
Also my compass and magnetic field sensor do not work, is anyone else getting the same problems?

Since Sprint is going to try and screw me big time if I get a new phone, I've decided to see what new life I could put into my old Touch Diamond (DIA500). I installed XDAndroid FRX05, and it seems to be working really well, with a few exceptions. One of the first things I tried was to enable Bluetooth. What happens is that it enables, but about 4 seconds after being enabled, it says it's shutting down, then it starts back up, and shuts down. It keeps doing this forever, until I turn it off. Now that I tried Wifi, it does the exact same thing. I've rebooted a few times, and took the battery out once, but still nothing. I've since installed a battery-saving program, but this happened on a fresh install.
The next issue is with the backlight. If I try and change the brightness, it changes for a second, then goes back to the brightness it was. It does this whether I turn the brightness up or down. It's not set to auto.
The third issue is the GPS. It works, but seems to take a long time to get a lock. Under WM, I'd have some kind of location within seconds, even inside. I'm guessing it was using the phone network to speed things up. Under android, it takes a few minutes sometimes, and it's worse inside.
I also had a nightmare calibrating the screen. It's still a little off, but it works. Does anyone know a screen calibration program that would work?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
To solve the brightness problem. Boot WinMo and turn off auto brightness there. That will solve that problem.
Thanks for share you knowledge here DA01
I like my nexus 6 camera's quality of photos but am a bit frustrated with the time it takes to start up, especially from the lock screen. Part of the problem for me is that sliding left from the kick screen often doesn't work. It offers to unlock instead. Sometimes after trying and failing to go straight to camera a couple of times, when I eventually unlock and then try to start the camera it informs me that the camera has crashed. I use Chroma now but had the issue while on stock. I predominantly use HDR+ mode (I leave it on all the time) Any solutions anyone?
My device is completely stock.
I have noticed that the screen will randomly wake on its own to the lockscreen.
If i get a notification it does this however will also do it with nothing apparently new having happened.
Any ideas?
I noticed this before on my P9-L:ite but haven't seen it yet on my P10. In my case, I believe it happens when the phone loses or regains internet connectivity. Since networks are kind of spotty where I am, it happens somewhat often.
i have the p10 plus and i have the same situation...... any solutions?
Mine only does this when receiving a snapchat from someone. Could it be app related?
My one week old P10 plus has the same problem. It happens when I lock the phone while any app is active (I tried with a few apps). However, it doesn't happen when I lock the phone while the home screen is active.
Has anyone found a solution?
Still interested in this–
started happening to me a few days back aswell; I noticed the change after shooting some balls with my phone in the pocket, screen facing the skin. At some point the phone got insanely hot. When I picked it up all sorts of s*** happened, as if my thigh was able to make touch inputs through the pants? Notification center / quick settings were all toggled randomly. Flashlight, geo location and hotspot were switched on whereas Wifi and Bluetooth were off (which is unusual). And the camera was running with fully brightened screen, which I think was main reason for the heat.
I wasn't sweating extensively; meaning the phone wasn't wet in my pockets or something–
And I don't know if the random screen wake up enabled my thigh to make the touch inputs or of something else happened which from then on let the screen randomly wake up– chicken and egg, you know :F
I'm experiencing a problem with the automatic screen rotation sometimes. Basically when rotating the phone from vertical to horizontal the screen doesn't follow the movement. The only way to solve this is to put the phone vertical again, wait few seconds and then rotate it. I've already tried the usual movements to try to help the accelerometers to capture the movement but nothing, even turning the phone vertical quickly doesn't work, it has to stay vertical for a few seconds.
Also it doesn't happen all the time, but only sometimes (I've noted this while watching videos on YouTube)
Anyone experiencing this? I'm on stock rom and i really hope it's software and not hardware related.
I think this might have something to do with moto action. Some of the actions piggy ride with the accelerometer so it might thinks you're about to do moto actions but fails to fulfill the conditions. Hence, it leaves you without any response/feedback.
I am not sure if anyone has encountered these problems too but the Android 10 updates have ruined the phone for me.
Bugs I encountered and that I haven't found a fix for:
The keyboard annoys me to hell and back because of the gesture controls. I have been using gestures before Android 10 and I had no problems with the keyboard, but now the whole bottom area of the screen is like a mine field. It happens at least 3-4 times everyday to write something and when i hit space it would bring me to home screen and/or writing next letter in google search.
Not only I can't properly use the keyboard, but I can't long press the emoji in FB Messenger when the keyboard is not opened, it would just bring me back to last screen (it sees it as a back gesture). Basically can't interact with bottom buttons in most apps that use portrait mode because the phone sees them as gestures and it's driving me nuts
Since the update I had to restart my phone about once a week because of different bugs regarding Bluetooth (it would turn off and refuse to turn back on without a restart), sometimes the camera refuses to take more than one photo before the shutter button becomes unresponsive and I have to restart the app (to be able to take only one more photo) or restart the phone to fix the problem
The phone sometimes freezes and becomes unresponsive, requiring a forced restart or a normal restart if i wait 1 minute to open that option menu for turning the phone off. Also, it won't turn back on automatically and won't turn on for the next minute even if i manually hold the power button.
All these only occurred after updating to Android 10. It was a dream phone like my S7 edge was before updating to Android 10.
I wanted to switch to iPhone but I was amazed by the fact that my S7 edge had no problems during the 3 years I've used it and I decided to continue buying Samsung phones, but now I am seriously considering switching to another brand that uses Android (that I can't think of, keeping the same performance and build quality besides Huawei which is in a weird spot now) or permanently switching to iPhone.
I'd appreciate it if you knew any fixes to the bugs I listed above, I found nothing. If not, what can be done about these?
Use google messenger

Samsung doesn't update own system apps from 2 months, and bugs listed by you are the inevitable result of this lack.
When Samsung will release a more heavy update (400MB or so, and not only 100MB of Google security patches) all these problems will vanishing, and anti-rollback protection will be restored.
P.S = Yesterday I've encounter a bug on Reminder app, that generate a Force Close (two times) when I tried to set a pre-suggested date.
