The pixel-style animation when pressing the home button gets disabled randomly on my Nokia 7 plus. It defaults back to generic AOSP style button whenever this occurs. See the screenshot. You'll notice that the little extra inner circle has disappeared.
I've reset the phone twice and it still happens.
I reported the bug to Nokia but does anyone else have this issue?
Sorry have to double post to put in the extra image.
This screenshot has the original working button with the inner circle.
I can get the button back if I change the wallpaper to one that changes the launcher theme from light to dark or vice versa.
Might as well close this mystery. My smart self did not realise that if you set the default "Assist" app to something other than Google it goes away.
Thing is when I set it to the Duck Duck Go app it stayed active for a while which confused me.

OK, I searched the forums and couldn't find anything else on this.
I've got the Tilt with Dutty's Hybrid ROM on it and HTC home customizer and blackbars. Funny thing is (and this just started) that once in a while now the top and bottom bars will disappear and leave white spaces, though the rest of the screen is still visible (clock, etc...). The Windows button works and drops down the windows menu, but the bar and screen button are not visible. Tapping the area on the screen where the button should be also drops down the menu, even though the button itself isn't visible.
Opening an app such as calendar oddly puts the top and bottom calendar bars in, but the actual calendar screen is not visible...just the "today" screen. So you can click on the calendar menu buttons, but see no calendar screen.
A soft reset seems to get everything back to normal, but I want to know if this is the sign of impending doom for my device and I need to put the stock ROM back on, or if is a conflict of some sort with the software and I maybe did something incorrect.
Any ideas?
I'm running CM 7.1 on my Nook Color... I just wiped and reflashed from Rom Manager because of some issues i had with a bad app install/uninstall.
Now whenever the device reboots, the wifi is off at startup.
Any ideas of why this might be happening?
Thanks!

There is a bug in airplane mode in CM7 that causes the wifi behavior you describe. I use the power widget to avoid going to settings and turn wifi on every time I need to reboot. To add the power widget, place finger on your screen (home screen) until a menu pops up. Select Widgets. Select power control (scroll down. Add other toggles such as flashlight,Bluetooth, etc. You can also remove compass and sync too. You can also size the widget, make it horizontal or vertical. Once it appears on your screen you can long press widget and drag it anywhere.

Thanks for the idea on the widget. I was looking more for a actual fix, as this is very annoying to have to do every time i turn it on.
I would have posted in the Developer forum but im a new member and it wont let me.
If anyone has a fix that is done in the terminal please let me know.

Any idea what this marker is on the screen which fades away after a few seconds? Assume it's something introduced as one of the updates?
That looks like a scroll bar for that widget you have there
I don't have the widget on!
Are you using a custom launcher? Looks like another one behind your spen icon too. Does it slide your notifications on your homepage. Def haven't seen that on my Note.
Definitely from something you installed, not from the phone itself or any phone update.

Hold down the power button to bring up the shutdown menu. Then hold down the power off icon. It will ask if you want to restart into safe mode. Hit yes. Once your phone is back on, all third party apps are disabled. If that bar if gone, then it confirms it is something you downloaded. To get out of safe mode, just go to the power menu and tap restart.
Hi, got my T5 recently and met with some strange and annoying problems with regards to orientation/rotation with apps such as Tradingview and Investing.com, which somehow insists the bottom side of the portrait mode be the side where the power button is located. Though I doubt the problem is with the apps. Anyone saw the same and have any solution/suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Homescreen rotation stuck on portrait mode.
Had a problem with the homescreen which stuck at portrait mode even the auto-rotate function was turned on (blue in task bar and on in screen settings). Was really annoying, suddenly all other apps rotate but not the home screen ?
Found out there is a dedicated setting for the home screen, hold your finger on the homescreen background for a couple of seconds and the screen will give you access to widgets, wallpapers and a setting button which leads to another homescreen setting which also have a auto-rotate switch. That was somehow turned off in my case. After switching it back on it works again. Apps and Homescreen rotation fixed.
Just got my phone. My first MIUI device. I am having a hard time getting used to the home button behavior and if it can be changed. I like to keep my home screen clean. I keep most used apps in folders at the bottom of the screen. If I launch an app from a folder and I want to use the home button, instead of returning to the home screen it returns to the folder. Its very annoying. In many situations it acts exactly like the back button and not a home button.
Can this be solved or do I need to live with it?
Did you ever find a solution? It's driving me crazy that "home" doesn't take me home.
Anyone found a solution for this? It's very annoying! I would use a different launcher but when you change the MIUI default launcher some functionalities stop working or behave crazy like split screen on recents and others.
