Display Sometimes Fails To Update - Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers

I've only had he phone a few days, everything is stock (not rooted yet). What I've noticed is occasionally the display gets stuck. Like if I'm using a music player app (poweramp) and it plays to the end of the song and then goes to the next track in the playlist, but the display doesn't change. If I go to the recent apps (overview) and then go right back to the poweramp, it updates the display to the new track. The bug doesn't seem to be app-specific, I've seen it happen with other apps, including system apps.
Has anybody else encountered this? Is there any fix or any ideas? There was an OTA update today, but it didn't make any difference.

I had this happen to me, the way I solved it was to activate the labs feature in Nova launcher (you go into the settings front page of Nova then press and hold the volume down button untill you get a message telling you labs has been activated, then go into labs and toggle the refresh widgets on resume setting, it helps my system work, may help you

Thanks for your response, I tried it but it didn't work for me.

[Q] Walkman lockscreen issues

Since today my Walkman lockscreen widget is not working properly anymore. It just says "No tracks available" whereas there are plenty
I tried clearing Walkman app's data, rebooting, I even flashed a different ROM and the issue is still there. Switching tracks works, when I press the Play button, it displays the track name, but when I hit Next, it doesn't update or change. When I press the Power button, it doesn't show me the widget automatically like it used to.
Really out of options, any kind of help is welcome. Thanks
I believe it a bug with the clearaudio+ app that's included with some roms.

Well that's just great, since I can't root my (stock) device. Also, on my phone it doesn't work at all, not only when the headset is plugged it.
EDIT: got it working again. In case someone else gets this problem, I did this: started Walkman, paused the song, quit the app and removed it from the recent apps menu. Then I locked the screen, pressed the Walkman icon and slowly dragged it to the right. Now it works again.
I am so confused.
Update: broken again! Damn.

Ultra Power Saving Issue when toggling off phone reverts back erases home screen apps

Hey guys I don't know if you all have ran into this issue. So the quick story whenever I toggle on Ultra Power Saving it does its thing and toggles on mono screen and the various apps like the phone and messaging apps and Facebook app so its pretty standard in activating this setting. The problem starts whenever I toggle it off that is when it reverts back to the regular launcher I have, that is when I turn it U. Power Saving that it does not keep the apps, folders, and the widgets that I had previously they are not uninstalled just removed from the home screen. Have any of you guys know why or how i can fix this? I'm tired of having to rearrange my apps every time I toggle this feature on. Could this be Samsung or my phone? Any info will help! Also if you have this similar problem then it'd be good to hear that I'm not the only one!!
Info:
Tmobile S6 on Marshmallow 6.0.1
Google Now Launcher
Have already factory restored the device and issue still there.
Sorry I wanted to post pics of it but since I am a noob here i am not able to post Pics But i hope that I explained the problem using just words!!!

Music stops while display is off

This is an issue I've had with stock-based 8.0 ROMs (currently using JanJan's .235). If I'm using any music player, and the screen is off, once the song is over sometimes the next song will not play. As soon as I turn on the screen and show the lockscreen, the next song starts.
Anyone else experiencing this, or found a fix? I'm sure if I use something that forces a wake lock it would fix the problem, but that wouldn't be good on the battery life.

Go into settings\battery - press the three dots top right - power saving exceptions. Add your music player to the exceptions list.

Thanks, I've already done this. It did not fix the problem, unfortunately.
I ran into the same problem: I solved it by not only adding Blackplayer to the Power Saving Exceptions (PSE), but also checking "Wake lock" under Settings/Audio/More". Not sure if other players feature a similar option.
Alternatively, it might be necessary to look for a system process, which is also necessary for music playback and add it to PSE.

Minimizing call screen - no root - Asus Rog Phone II

Just got this phone yesterday and noticed that I can't do anything while receiving a call, there is an "always on top" screen that won't go away by pressing any of the buttons until you hang up. This is really annoying since it completely disables the phone. Let says you are driving using google maps and somebody calls you, you will miss your exit for sure, or you want to check a text while talking on the phone, not possible... Already tried to disable the phone notifications, as well as trying all the available options ( for notifications), also tried with other phone apps and with SystemUI Tuner app all with no success.
Is anybody else having this issue? I'm happy to provide any info you guys might need as well as do any test. Currently using Nova launcher,
Android version 9,
Security patch Jun 5 2019.
Software info WW_16.0622.1906.19_0
Extension ROM 1.1.93
Maybe because of Nova Launcher. It is actually kinda weird. What firmware is installed on your ROG Phone 2?
I'm also on WW_16.0622.1906.19_0 and when I'm in a call I can just go home or use recent apps while in a call, mine looks like this, note the green bar at the top of the Play store screenshot.
I also use Nova launcher.

Nothing happens in mine when I press the home or recent apps while in the call screen, I can drag the top menu but that's about it, in this menu even if I press the little gear to go to settings it opens it in the background and once the call is over that will be the first screen that I can see. But somehow the call screen is always on top. On this phone I can't get the green bar, I'm used to it from all my other past android phones, but not on this one.
Any ideas?

Apps freezing on screen.

Hi, I've had this issue for a while where apps seem to freeze up after locking and then unlocking the phone. So, for an example, let's say I am using the firefox browser app, and then I turn off the screen with the power button. Wait about 15-30 seconds, and then when I turn the screen back on it will be frozen on whatever I was viewing before.
What's weird is that the app appears to still be active, only the screen acts frozen. I know this because I have figured out that if I tap the recents key, and then tap the app I was just using, it refreshes/unfreezes the app to where I can use it again. I have tried scrolling when the screen is frozen, and when I use the recents key to unfreeze it, it will be further down the page. Sometimes, when the app freezes, the content section will be completely black until I do the refresh trick.
More information:
-If I lock and then unlock the phone immediately, it doesn't get frozen. It's only after about 10 seconds that it does this.
-I am not using a lock screen/password. If I have the option set to 'swipe' or any of the other variants, the problem does not seem to happen.
-I think this behavior may have started after the Android 9 update.
-Other functions on the phone work perfectly fine (I can still access the notification menu etc.)
I just viewed a post called 'frozen screen after waking up screen' that is the exact same issue I am having, but there doesn't appear to have been a solution yet so I'm bringing it back up if that's ok. Thanks for any help.
