Hi,
Ever since I got my G800Y a couple of days ago, I have been unlocking my phone to see these blue spikes on the side of the screen. This doesn't happen all the time but it happens ~ once every 10 unlocks. I have flashed cyanogen mod onto it, although it still showed up out of the box. I spent so little time with it stock that I only saw it twice and thought it was an anomaly.
I have my phones about and a photo of the artifact here: imgur(dot)com/a/GwzWL (sorry for the whole dot thing, but I can't post links)
It seems to happen most frequently when the battery is 100% (I have re calibrated my battery) and during night time.
It doesn't show up in screenshots
It seemingly happens randomly as I have not found out a way to reproduce these spikes consistently
Changing brightness doesn't work
Does anyone else know what they are/have the same experience?
I really want to stem away from a refund considering how much work I have already spent on the phone.
Thanks,
Luke
Wow. What OS do you use?
Hello,
because i bought a new phone i gave my "old" Nexus 6 to my wife. Since a updated to Marshmallow i had problems with the camera. It stuttered while making a video. But i dont often used the camera, so i ignored it. My wife is Snapchat addicted and she can't make good videos with the front camera of the N6....it's like a slide show....the record is not smooth. I searched at the internet and a lot of people have the same problem since Adnroid Marchmallow ....
I flashed her CM 14, because i thought it might be a problem with the stock rom , but the problem remained. So my question is. Because i know i had not the problem at Android Lollipop. Is there anybody who had the same problem and solved it with flashing another rom? Or is it worth to try another kernel? I looked at the "rom forum" and found the "sky dragon 5.0 with a "new" kernel and probably i will try this. So my question is....is it a problem with the rom? is it a problem with the kernel? is it a problem with the hardware? What you expert think its the best way to fix the problem (i tried tips in the internet like diasble geodata at the photos or disable the battery safer for the camera app).
I hope you are able to understand my english. Otherwise i will explain it in other words.
Thank you very much!
Flash a factory image (will wipe the phone 100% but take it back to bone stock). If the camera issue is present on stock rom, stock kernel, with no modifications, then it's a hardware issue.
i have had problems with stuttering camera app before but it was fixed by resetting the phone. not really sure why after installing a new ROM you still facing this issue.
have you tried other camera apps? download a free one from the store and see its the same deal.
My first Nexus 6 had no issues whatsoever. When I had to RMA that one for the massive battery bulge issue, my second Nexus 6 had the camera stuttering issue. It would happen whether I was taking still shots or video. Obviously it was more noticeable on video, but it still made taking stills difficult. I took a video at the time to post on here to see if other people where having the same problem, but actually never got around to posting it...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k23njriKiDk
Anyway, I RMAed that phone for the camera issue but then the third N6 had the same issue. I decided to live with it though since (a) Motorola has a really frustrating return policy/procedure, and (b) since two different devices had it I didn't think there was any guarantee that an RMA would fix the problem.
Fortunately, I've noticed that lately (running Nougat now), the stutter has mostly gone away. I'd say that for still pictures it has gone away entirely. For videos, I think it is gone as long as you use the stock camera app. I've noticed that if you use other apps, like Instagram for example, my video still has issues. In that case though, it's more of a constant refocusing issue than a stutter issue.
So moral of the story is... for me at least, it seems to be ok on Nougat as long as you stick to the stock camera app.
I just got the Note9 512 8gb version. When taking notes I get an annoying lag or delay. Is this normal? I thought it would be super smoother. Also the delay time varies a bit too. Its like sometimes letters I write show up late and I'm already on the next letter. You have this happening? Especially when writing fast
I rebooted and cleared cache in storage maintenance. Thanks for feedback.
EDIT: I FOUND OUT THE ISSUE - GO TO PAGE 2
On the Note8, there was ZERO lag when writing. I write constantly on here and have never seen lag once. So I doubt that's normal on the Note9.

Damn! I mean Good! I mean damn my phone has lag taking handwritten notes :/ I wonder if its another feature that is turned on or another app interfering. But I havent installed much....
I've taken loads of notes in the week or so that I've had the Note 9 and never noticed any sort of lag whatsoever.

I did online support with Samsung.... we factory reset and I believe it fixed the problem. I still have to do a full restore though... hope it doesn't come back!

After my restore... the lag is back. ITs back :/ and I'm not sure if changing phones would help
It is not lag. It is called input latency. And the people claiming there is no latency on note 8 or 9 need to watch closer and see some demos of input latency. I skipped the Note 8 for this among other reasons. If I had to guess the input latency is about 15ms ±5ms. Pretty damn good. If you write fast you're going to notice it more.
Lag, latency, stuttering and frame drops are all completely different things. People are just using adjectives to describe their experience when things are more technical. It is kind of like many people don't understand lower case and upper case B's when talking about megabits and megabytes per second or giga-. Latency is a big deal for online gaming and steam link. That is why the hard core gamers will use Ethernet instead of wifi for gaming and the same for steam link. That 40-100ms or even more saved is a huge deal. It is obvious when you use steam link over WiFi and then go to Ethernet.
As far as the OP I don't know if you have a legitimate case of input latency or your expectations are too high. As I mentioned there are many videos to show input latency. I believe Microsoft has one of the better ones with a demonstration board that can dial in the input latency demonstrating over 100ms, ~50, 10 and 1ms. When under 10ms starts happening on every phone is when it really becomes game changing for not just flagship owners but people across the world that use these marvellous mobile devices. iOS used to much smoother for years than Android but input latency was still a thing. Now iOS and Android are competing head to head as far as latency, scrolling, frame drops and lag. It has become something Apple could not ignore anymore even though their SOC has been more powerful than Qualcomm and Samsung the last couple of years. All that power and it was dropping frames, scrolling janky, and input latency was noticeable despite their claims. Features have been put aside for iOS12 and focus has been put on performance. As you can see Samsung did this with Oreo and the Note9. The note 4 input latency was horrible but the phone was still ahead of it's time.

After we did the factory reset it worked perfect, I could not replicate the delay I am complaining about.... if it was what you are saying, wouldn't I see it all the time? I could not recreate the issue at first, only till after I did a restore of my data did the problem come back. If I handwrite... sometimes its a one letter delay.. or even 2 letters will appear after I write or once in a while 4 letters!! so that is like a stutter.
Have you tried clearing the cache data in the storage maintenance menu? That might help
Note 9 factory software is lagging much than s9+.
Hope samsung will resolve lag issues soon

Yea I tried that and also factory reset. Like I said... after reset I couldn't recreate the problem until I restored some of my backup. OR it may only seem to happen in certain note views... as far as I know there are 2 view screens ... it seems to have less 'lag' in creating new note right away. The edit screen with the default lines on the "paper" the view is a bit different and that is where I get the most lag it seems when I write.
So I just got my replacement. Before I did my restore I tried notes. I was SOOOOO relieved as note writing was perfect... no lag.. no delay.. I could write smooth.. awesome!!!! BUT . I did my restore and my problem is back! What the hell is going on? ^%$ . So now I will factory reset, AGAIN, and just build up my phone without a restore :/ and see if I can get around this problem. Will report back.

I found the problem! And reported it to Samsung. Can you recreate this issue on your phones?
So my backup settings had option for Accessibility > Vision > Magnification > Triple Tap Screen to magnify if this is turned on = I get wicked lag while writing notes. Its not that I am triple tapping getting a bigger size either. Just something with the gestures while writing is interfering with Accessibility Magnification settings. Turn the setting off and all is good.
Can anybody confirm?
Samsung 9 is not available in my country right now. Hope this will available soon, I am waiting :cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:

The problem is that you are importing your notes made using the old S Note app onto the new Samsung Notes app. There appears to be a compatibility issue between the two. Which Samsung never addressed.

No I fixed my particular problem ! I explained above. It has to do with the Accessibility > vision > tripple tap magnifier interferes with notes if turn on. Doesn't matter if its an old note app or new note being created. I thought something like you at first, but no my issue is this bug. And it is a bug. Turn on "Triple Tap" on your phone and create notes and report back to me how crappy it feels .

Just tried it. I can't seem to replicate your issue

Note 9 you turned on triple tap magnifying? Your new notes are all smooth? Weird I have 2 notes in front of me today .. both factory reset and I can recreate the issue. Both are the 8 GB 512 version unlocked us phone.

Guess it must be a bug that affects the US variant. As I am using my company's Exynos variant and everything is super smooth.
I just recreated the issue on my new S4 I got from Korea. So that is 3 devices I tested on. Try turning on tripple tap mag. Then write a note writing fast.. example try. The word THIS lot. The IS will ghost and delay thus screwing up brain to write neater etc.
Hello people,
the last OnePlus OS update disaster was the cherry on the s***cake I call OxygenOS. After years of microphone, display and sensor issues I want to go back to the only brand where I had almost 0 issues: Pixel.
Since I am still very wary I have a few questions for people who had the possibility to use the phone for a while.
1. Are there working TWRP and root methods out there? How about the backup and restore of nandroid in TWRP? Does it work flawlessly?
2. How fast ist the camera? I remember on my Pixel 2 that you could take the phone out, take a shot and put it away. The image will be sharp and clear in 95% of the cases. In other phones I had to stay still for about 1-2 seconds out of fear the image will be blurry or smeared.
3. Does Google still provide OTA .zips and tools to flash, unlock and recover custom roms and images?
4. Is the adaptive brightness on point? OP7 always needs an ever so slightly readjustmet which makes it kind of pointless.
5. Does the microphone in whatsapp voice messages work flawless?
6. Would it be possible to migrate my data partition from OP7P to Pixel 5 without issues? I have 2 authenticator apps that I have a backup for but can't restore on my OP7P without bootloop... (see intro text).
Thank you!
1. I think TWRP was just released but I don't think it's very functional. you can go to that thread to get more information since I don't use it myself.
2. This could be just me but the camera viewfinder will definitely freeze for a few seconds before I can start taking a picture. And because of the mid-range processor, it does take a few seconds for the image to process. However I think this is done after the picture is taken so you should be okay taking a picture and then turning the screen off - since it seems to process the image in the background afterwards.
3. If you do a Google search for Google factory images you'll see there are zips you can download, both full fastboot zips and OTA zips. I normally Flash the OTA zip through stock recovery via adb sideload.
4. The adaptive brightness definitely does favour going dim more than it needs to. I'm guessing this could be fixed in a potential future software update though.
5. I don't use WhatsApp so not too sure about this one
6. Not too sure what you mean exactly by migrating but I personally use the app called Swift Backup to backup and restore my apps. And then I just manually drag and drop my internal storage to my computer as a backup.

Currently root works fine. There is no function TWRP yet, at least last I looked, but things are fine without it. But more volatile but once things are set up right you're golden. I moved from a OP7P to a P5, as well, so I'll give you the run down.
Biggest, biggest gripe: vibration motor. It's pretty ****ty. Not like, oh god, get this out of my hand ****ty, but the OP7P's vibrator was much, much better. Phone speaker quality is much worse, as well, but for how small the p5 is, and the fact that it has no earpiece speaker, it makes quite a decent effort. Snappines; the op7p was so fast that double pressing the power button from screen off to pull up the camera will actually unlock and relock your screen before it even registers you double clicked the power button, and apps would launch instantly. The P5 isn't quite *that* fast, but it IS nimble. Lower your expectations for snappines, though I do feel that, with the proper modifications to animations, to the kernel, to the os, it could be comparable. That's definitely something OP mastered, that snappines and responsiveness. I think what would really make a big difference in that snappines is just animation tuning. For example, I wish screen on and screen off animations just didn't exist, and instead it was instant. As it is now, currently, it's a quick fade. Small gripes though. Gravity box can solve a lot of complaints, too lol
But, the question remains, what do you gain?
You gain updates. You're now at the forefront of features. You don't know what you're missing until you have a Pixel. Battery Life? It's.. well, let's just say that the op7p sucks compared to the p5. I can easily get 9+ hours screen on time even with heavy, heavy usage, bluetooth on, location, nfc, tons of apps in the background. This phone WILL get you through the day, 100% guaranteed. You get wireless charging, too, which is awesome. Charging is nimble but not dash-charge fast. You get a phone that you can use in one hand.
Overall, will it be for everyone? No. But, I can say with confidence, I'm not looking back. I have my complaints, one of the biggest being that Google Assistant just isn't reliable for me on my p5 compared to how it was on my oneplus, and also that the ding it makes when I use the hotword is just kinda gone for some reason and I have no idea how to fix it.
But yeah, ramble over, there ya go.
Thank you for sharing your point of view!
The thing is, I got the OP7P as a gift when it released and I never got warm with its huge size. I never wanted a huge phone like this but coped with it because it was/is top of the line. But over the time those already stated minor issues started to arise and accumulate.
So basically I don't want to gain anything, I want to get rid of the surplus.
As long as doesn't have issues that bothes me every day or at least less than the OP7P, everything is fine.

You'll find it doesn't feel as premium in the hand, as well. The majority of the body is plastic, though it's a very high quality, biodegradable plastic called bio resin. It also can heat up during normal usage, but not to an uncomfortable level. Outside of usual android gripes here and there, there's really not much to complain about. It gets the job done, as a phone, really well. Camera is fantastic, and I tried to see just how quickly you can take a pic from it earlier and you likely won't be disappointed. You can snap a picture before the viewfinder even loads, so it's unlikely you'll run into any issue. It automatically enables night mode depending on the light, but you can disable that auto night mode from a button near the view finder, so that pics are taken instantly. Everything about the phone is like that - very intentional and miticulous design, while still remaining stock android. Not quite custom rom levels of customization, though. No custom OS colors, things like that. OP wins in customization, for sure, but again, you probably won't be disappointed.
My 2 day old, 5a with 5g just overheated. I have no case on it and it wasn't charging at the time. I was in a FBM video call and at about the 30 minute mark, I got the overheating warning. A few minutes later, the phone froze for about 60 seconds and then resumed. The phone was very hot to the touch! Ironically it was propped up against a laptop screen that was in hibernation mode and there is a table fan approximately 8 inches from the device blowing directly at it.
I reported it to Google Support and 1st level was very understanding. 2nd level told me to try some tips that he would send me because I was probably just overusing it. I told him I was using it exactly the same way I used my 2xl, but that didn't seem to make a difference.
I'll keep this updated as I continue to use my new "hot" phone.
Interesting. There's a known issue with recording 4K video, but this is the first time I've heard of an issue just streaming video.
Keep us updated for sure.
I have not tried the video recording at 4K...but I have been streaming YouTube videos and no overheating for me. YMMV
I have experienced the overheating issue while using video recording at 60 fps 4k. The phone didn't seem warm at all though so here's hoping it's just a software fix Google can implement.
If anyone can reliably reproduce the error, would you want to run some testing to see if the option for "Store videos efficiently
Use H.265/HEVC format" makes it better or worse?
I only had a heat issue when I first started my 5a, and it was installing all my apps in the background. Building the cache is notorious for its CPU use, so I can't say I'm surprised by overheating then. I've done a couple 5 minute 4k 60 videos without overheating since then.
I noticed the same thing today on my new Pixel 5a. Wasn't doing anything other than participating in a Whatsapp video call and browsing text messages.
I do have a Spigen case but the ambient temperature was low 70's inside.
This could be concerning...

I had a similar heat issue when setting up my phone the first time as well. It was when I was just going through the setup, and transferring everything from old phone to the new one. I, unlike you, have never experienced the heat build up, that occured with this phone, on any other phone in my many years of flashing ROMs and setting up phones (unless I was flashing it multiple times due to issues). So, this post does leave me a bit concerned....
I hope once I get my case that this doesn't start occurring for me.
I have experienced the video camera causing the over heating. It appears that any app using built in video recorder will produce the heat. Google camera, Duo, … Zoom. I did a little searching before checking here on xda.
Google admits that the issue is with the 60 bpf 4k recording that is the cause. And of course they do not have a fix available at this time.
I was hoping to find a way to lower the setting to 30 bpf but I cannot locate a way to change the setting. Can anyone help with that please? Or is it possible to install a different camera from the play store with custom video settings, and set that as default for all video?
Edit: I use the system wide dark mode, so I didn't see the camera drop down arrow which opens the settings popup. Open the camera, select video mode, touch the drop down arrow at the very top center of screen. The default setting for Frames/Sec is Auto. The other 2 options are 30 bfs and 60 bfs. Select 30 bfs. Touch outside the popup to dismiss.
I left the resolution at Full HD which is the default. Most users report the issue is while using 60 bfs at 4k.
My wife, who is traveling in another section of the country, also reports over heating. She was not actively using any app when the heating issue occurred. After rebooting the device she saw that the WebEx Meet app was attempting to connect in the background. A persistent silent notification was displayed in the notification tray. This app was one of many that she had transferred from her old device to her 5a during the initial setup process. I told her to uninstall that app. Then review all apps and remove any not needed. Probably should do the same as I have not looked at which of them may also be outdated and needlessly using system resources.
Grr, time for an update. I've had the overheat warnings every few days, but no noticeable effects from it. Until today!
I was in a long video call, maybe an hour or so and got the warning. Shortly after that, the phone shutdown. It was not charging at the time, battery was at 51%
I contacted support and they listened to my complaint and asked all the same questions as last time... except for the new question to confirm that I bought it from the US Google Store (I did of course, but not sure why they would ask that). They said a specialist will contact me via email within 2 days.
Having this issue as well. Shut down the phone for 10m and still got the issue when I powered on.
Crazy
I had a 5a for about 2 wks. I was in Facebook video chat for about 15min when overheated and dropped internet connection. I was holding phone in hand parked in car 80 degree day. I had one day left to return it, so I rma'd it. No way to report hardware problem as reason for return. Charged me $35 restocking fee. I loved the phone, but they need to solve this. If they fix it, I may buy again.
The phone overheating at all is unacceptable. I've never even personally seen/felt a phone "overheat". That's crazy.
Obviously some kind of defect that google will ignore for 1 year as per protocol.
I've only had my 5a 3 days so far but mine has yet to overheat. And I'm a heavy user. Now my OnePlus n10 after the android 11 update would overheat multiple times a day, sometimes when just sending a text. When it was on Android 10 it never overheated.
Im starting to have those issues too. I cant record for more than 1 minute sometimes
Was this solved in the new update? I havent updated due to root, so just wondering.
Thanks

No, I still can't record for over about 30 seconds to a minute
Unfortunately no... I'm still getting the overheating after the update.
This happened to me initially, like one user mentioned, when I got the phone and it was building the cache. More recently this happened to me while on a Caribbean vacation to Anguilla; was using the phone for pictures outside. It never got hot enough for a general overheat error, just always warning me that the camera was too hot and flash was disabled, or at one point camera was too hot when I was taking video and said the video could be unstable. I was filming in 1080/60. Switched to 1080/30 and it was ok. I have a Spigen Tough Armor case, so I wasn't surprised at that.
UPDATE: The phone finally died. I had been receiving the overheating issue about once a week since the beginning. Google support didn't care. Now, while I'm travelling in a foreign country, the phone died.
I called support and they said as a 1 time deal, they will replace it free of charge. However they only ship to the US and I have to send back this one in 14 days. That is an issue because mail from here takes months sometimes to reach the states. I"m not due back in the states until this summer.
WORST part: the password safe app that I use on my phone unlocks with my fingerprint. Never requires the actual password, so SHAME ON ME, I forgot that password. I have the password app on my laptop and it has current info, but I can't access it because I don't remember the actual password. :-(
PSA: use your actual password from time to time to ensure you don't forget key passwords!
