Hi everyone,
I have this weird glitch on my phone. When I'm using Google Maps, it would randomly open the "Recent Apps" and sometimes even the "Back" button would activate on its own. I initially thought it might have to do with the wireless charging but when I use Waze, I no longer see the phone glitching. Is it a hardware failure? Is it an Android software/Google Maps bug? Does this happen to anyone else?
I'm on stock T-Mobile with Developers Options enabled, and not rooted. According to this thread (http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...random-phantom-settings-button-presses-3.html) it's the GPU rendering.

I was wondering if anybody else is experiencing a similar issue. It is a common occurance for me, and here is how one could try and reproduce the issue:
1) Open google maps, search for a place, call it.
2) Go to another application on the phone for a little while, do something different
3) Try loading google maps again, it acts quite sluggish and then starts to load then restart!
I have noticed this problem since I got my phone, even past all of the Google Maps updates, and all of the OS updates, and remembered it happened when I was on the Brazilian verison as well.
So as of late my brand new device keeps having to refresh the home screen every time I exit an app.
Also apps that are open already always have to reload when going back into them from the recent apps menu.
It just started happening randomly. It's very annoying. I've done a hardware check on the device and everything passes. Samsung store also didn't find a hardware issue on the device.
I have 42GB of free storage space left. I only ever have 1-3 Apps open at the same time and I've done a hard reboot of the device.
Anyone else have this problem? What can I do?
Did you activate Developer Options", i.c. the one "Do not keep Activities"?
No
Think I may have fixed the issue. I cleared data in touchwiz home, and now my apps are staying in memory and home screen doesn't refresh.
Not sure what would be caused it or why it would've fixed it though?
?????...
If your home screen was reloading it sounds like a touchwiz or launcher glitch
Yeah but why would that have made my apps not stay in memory?
Looking around is there a GPS problem with the mi 8
Nope.
There was a permission related google maps issue. Workarounds were either uninstalling google maps updates / installing an old version via apk or revoking google location access, and then starting google maps again and allowing location access again.
There is. I have issue with GPS. Not Google maps. No App that uses GPS is getting coordinates some time. And when that happens, compass is non functional. It is frozen on some angle, no matter what i do. Also gravity Sensor (for fliping screen, on YouTube for example) is non functional. And when i try to reboot phone freeze on Black screen and i must force reboot by holding powerbutton for 10 seconds.
Yeah that's not a general issue or known bug.... somethings wrong on your device.
But it is software Bug on mine device. Right after reboot everything works as expected. After some time (3 to 5 days) it goes bad. I have the phone for around one month. I didnt do any mods only updated everything to latest version. So i think it is bug.
Search around, there's a couple things you can try.
.) Edit/fix agps settings
.) Fix google maps through revoking google location access
.) if all else fails factory reset
*edit*
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/help/issue-mi-8-gps-t3822926/page9 read this thread backwards
It is very rare. First time i have noticed it when i started waze and for 5 minutes it doesnt showed movement and i was going 130km/h. After quick reboot with powerbutton hold sorted it. Then in 3 days i couldnt rotate YouTube video. And i had a little time so i looked it up, and compass showed 349 degrees no matter what direction phone was pointed. And i also checked GPS test App, and 0 satellites were available. That all was week ago. Now everything is working fine. And i also noticed one small problem. When phone switch from 4G of home provider to roaming 2g or 3g data wont work. I need to activate airplane mode for a while, then it register again in roaming network and it works fine.
I 7se Google Maps daily on the S10. But if the screen goes off it stops giving directions and I have to hit Start again and resume. Only way it stays on is if I start the trip and physically hold the phone and not let the screen lock. Anyone else? Never had this issue with any other phone, Galaxy or otherwise.
I have the same issue. I use Automate to automatically turn AOD on and off based on received notification. I originally thought it causes this problem. Unfortunately, I can´t proove it because I needed to drive and hadn´t time to play with the phone. Just an idea to consider.
Edit: maybe it is Google maps bug. Have you tried uninstalling app updates?
Might have to do just that. But it does seems like a Maps bug, yet it was fine on my Note 8, and the iPhone X before that. So idk if it's Maps or a software bug with the S10. Normally I just tap "start" and then immediately click the lock/wake button and set the phone down and it sends the directions through the car or headset.
Verizon variant here by the way 100% stock.
Try to prevent the phone to set the Maps app to sleep. I had a similar thing with the old version of Maps (V6 which I still use).
Just search for 'Sleeping Apps' in your settings
Hi all,
Google maps says "GPS signal is lost" after a few seconds when I lock the screen. If I don't lock, there is no issue. How can I solve this? (I am on stock Android 9, not rooted phone)
By the way, I am on "optimized" power mode. Does anyone who is on optimized mode, face this issue? Must I change it to "high performance" to not to have that issue?

I"m in the same boat, this just started happening to me as well. Would love to know if I can put Maps in a "do not kill" type setting.

Settings/Device care/Battery/(3 dots)settings and look at the sleeping apps options if maps are there just tap and hold and select remove.
I just login to tell this way. I found google maps was in that list. I removed it. I hope it will solve my issue
