H8314, US-based, Verizon carrier.
Currently on build 52.1.A.0.672.
This problem either started with 52.1.A.0.618, or the previous update where Android 10 was introduced. I'm really not quite sure as it has become an escalating problem, but has certainly been an issue since 618 and has not been resolved by updating to 672 this week. I was kind of sitting on this hoping that the new update would fix my problems, but alas it has not.
So, here are the three things I am experiencing:
1) Drastically reduced battery life (easily halved, if not more) and phone gets very warm if used for longer than 15 minutes
2) Camera quality reduced (lower resolution, grainier)
3) MMS messages sent by iPhone users, most specifically screenshots that they've taken and sent to me, appear completely garbled, as if they have been cropped and reassembled with different pieces on top of each other. Here's a screenshot of the kind of thing that I receive:

}
I have no clue where to start with this and googling has not been fruitful. I'm really not sure how to describe the iPhone issue, and none of the fixes I've tried have improved the battery life. I have done factory resets and used the Xperia Companion repair service but that's about as far as I've gotten. I would appreciate any assistance or pointers you all could give me!
Thanks.
RMA
Not sure about your first 2 issues, but the 3rd issue is something both my and wife's phones do, kind of. She's had her XZ2C H8314 single-SIM on Verizon for maybe 6 months now, ever since she's had it, she's used Google Messages with RCS enabled. Occasionally, both in group and 1-on-1 texts, she'll get a picture message from someone (both iphone and android users) where the picture shows up black/white grainy/almost dot-matrix looking. Same person will picture text again, no issues. It seems random. It happened on Pie as well as on Android 10.
I figured it was her phone, something she'd done, who knows. I just got an XZ2C myself a week ago, single-SIM on Verizon H8314 already updated to Android 10. I'm also using Google Messages with RCS, same thing. Some seemingly-random picture messages show up in black/white and all grainy. Once, in a group text that both her and I were in, 3 pictures were sent by someone. On both our phones, the 1st and 3rd pictures were fine, the 2nd one that was sent was messed up. On both of our phones, the image is never mixed up, it's just black/white dot-matrix looking.
I was going to switch to a different messaging app and see if it happens as it may be Google Messages, RCS, or RCS enabled in GM. But it doesn't happen frequently enough that it's driving me nuts yet. Nobody's complained to her or I about getting messed up picture messages from us, it just seems to be random pictures we receive. See attached photo. This is a group text that both of us are in, looks the same on both our phones. 2 pics from the same person, 1 messed up the other is OK.
I updated from Android 9 to Android 10 .672 and I am experiencing a bug with Whatsapp voice messages: from 10 voice notes I send, one or two will go silent in the middle. I really don't know what to do, I was looking to download the 52.1.A.2.1 software and flash it via flashtool hoping that it would fix the issue, but I cannot find it anywhere, and I wouldn't get it via OTA (I'm using the US customized software)

Hi Guys,
This issue has been really p*****g me off over the last two days... so, would reapply appreciate any help on this...
Yesterday or day before, I was just scrolling through the menus of the phone and decided to do a horizontal calibration (i've never done this since the getting the phone about two months back).
Settings > Display > Horizontal Calibration
And ever since I did the calibration, the screen has been really screwing up with me. Basically, what happens is that, a certain area of the screen gets automatically clicked!! This happens to a specific area of the screen. For example, when I get to the home screen from the app drawer, the widget that I normally have in this area gets clicked on for no apparent reason, and then I have to hit the back key to get back to the home screen. This happens about 5 times and then seems to go away for a while. However, it happens all over again when I use the phone after a little while.

}
In the attached screen capture of my home screen, I have highlighted the area of the screen where this happens in red. This happens not only from the home screen, but from within any open app as well.... For example, when I view the "my apps" section in the Android Market app, the app that happens to be listed in the above area get automatically selected!!!
I have re-calibrated the screen, re-started the phone and the only thing I've left to do is a hard reset. I'm not too keen on doing this as I don't fancy having to re-install 70+ apps all over again!!
Have any of you guys encountered anything like this ?
Would really really appreciate any help on this as this is really flipping me over!!
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
anyone......?
cmon, am I da first one on XDA to experience this issue?

[Q] Auto Clicking - Sorted
ah! no replied at all!!!
neways, finally got this sorted by having the screen replaced!! luckily the phone is still under warranty... otherwise it would hav cost me around 250$ to get it done apparently (according to the service center guy who did it)!!
tried hard resetting, data+cache wipe and even flashed with a different ROM (darky's).... but nothing worked.... so, finally took it to the service center... luckily those people didn't notice that the phone has been rooted and all that plus, got a gud rappo with one of the technicians over there, so got it back the next day as well....
cheers.....
One of first to preorder first patch, and got my nexus 8g since last Monday. Never had and problems with it until an hour ago. Screen suddenly have dual layer overlay my entire screen. Anyone had this problem? Already try the safe mode, the problem still exist. See below screen shot. I would really hate to going through RMA with Google, hear it was pain in the ass

Okay, viewing my own attachment picture from my computer right now and it looks nothing wrong :crying:. So this is screen problem, not the display, so screen capture is useless...
Try taking a picture of the screen with a camera.
Are you meaning like an image retention issue (where previous screens are still "showing through" what's currently being displayed?
(For example, you'd see a faint image of your homescreen when in the Settings panel)
Sorry for the late reply, been too worried about not able to get my RMA...

I did try to take some pictures with my phone camera, but the screen had too much reflection that it's hard to tell from the pictures.
However, I did found Androidpolice had a good report on it with same issue and they were having hard time taking the pictures too

Yes, I believe is the retention issue and worse. My screen got worse each day before RMA came. Screen is pretty much in a VERY BRIGHT LIGHT ( I wouldn't even call it color white because it's really just shinny light) stage before I even unlock the screen. All the light seems to begin to go away after about 10-15 mins of screen use time, then the display will only showing some few "ghost" problem between screen to screen. Maybe this something to do with IPS been too cold? Need a warm start like my old car? lol..j/k
I did made a video of it on that first night it happen, hopefully it will provide some kind of idea how it looks like.

So I called Google on 7/29 for RMA, and got my replacement on 8/2. So far crossing my finger on the second Nexus 7 from Google.....Thanks.
Hi,
Since a couple of months I've been having issues with my p30pro.
For some
reason every now and then, the pictures I've taken get misformed.
Out of the blue, it can be after a couple of days or after a couple of hours, pictures are suddenly unwatchable and have bars in the picture, or colors become inverted etc.
It seems to be done randomly to the pictures, and there is no action taken that causes this on my part.
First I thought it was because of WhatsApp. That a picture that I sent was then unusable afterwards. But I've noticed now it also happens to photos not being sent via WhatsApp.
Than I thought it was because of the gallery app so I installed another one and used only that one. Didn't change a thing.
I have a standard p30pro, have not rooted it etc. Installed every update made available trough the system..
This is becoming very frustrating and annoying that this happens on such a high end smartphone without any reason.
Photos I have taken are now sometimes unusable which cause me to miss moments captured with my camera.
The camera btw is the only resao' I've purchased the p30pro.
Does anyone know this problem? Does anyone knows how this can be solved.
Proove of misformed photos are added.

Usually because of using an external memory card, using internal again should fix it
Thanks for the reply.
I've changed the save location when taking pictures again to internal memory instead of external memory card.
I assume I can keep the SD card in my phone to use for other storage options?
Thanks.
Think I posted this in the wrong forum page earlier. I posted it in questions, I wasn't sure because there is more to it than just apps. So sorry for the dupe.
Hello, first thread on here. Didn't see anything that covered this, so sorry if its a duplicate. So 2 issues now and both of them are a little concerning. First Got a verizon samsung s20 fe just over a week ago. Before the system update #2 was installed or even poped up on my screen yelling at me I did the usual removal of bloat ware. While scrolling through the app list found about 15 apps give or take that were very unusual. some there were multiple of the same thing (name circular, 0byte file size on internal, no permissions requested and nothing under the all permissions tab, etc. I'll put a screen shot of the list of all of them) and I have yet to be able to find anything on this anywhere and now that I have sys. Update 2 installed I've noticed even more and other odd things in my app list. Such as when I disabled some useless apps I would never and have never used ever or anything close, it revealed (added them to the app list) other apps that were not there before. after system update 2 smart lock settings would open up a blank white page on chrome, now it has completely disappeared from all settings catagories. And literally while i am typing this and went to the app list to get screen shots, even more apps have appeared and some have even changed their permissions and restored some of their permissions, backround data,, backround battery use etc.
So essentially my phone has decided its going to do whatever the [email protected]$# it wants since the update after I've already gone once and went over permission and everything else for everything. To account for stupid $#!* that comes with a system update.
Any info on any of this and advice would greatly be appreciated.
P.s. the grey apps in the app drawer screen shot are the only things I've installed and I only added wish, pocket morties, insta, and snap over the past couple of days. And they haven't added anything besides their respective apps to the drawer. Most duplicate 0b apps were there prior, after system update 2even more appeared along with other strange thing starting to happen, or they revealed after bloatware and useless apps were removed or disabled.

Also. For a new phone that bloat ware/other useless things etc. Have been removed as much as possible without root, I still have 443 apps if I click show system apps.
Just a bump to show im still here waiting for some sort of reply. But really what happened to xda? You use to get answers for basically anything within 5 days max or atleast a comment or 2 asking for more info or w.e but now all you get is views?!?!?!?!
Dude, nobody owes you a reply! What do you want from people?! If people want to reply to you, they will! If they don't, tough luck! Maybe people don't feel like trying to sort through your wall of incomprehensible rants?
Yes, there are a ton of apps on your phone! That's how Samsung does things. Nothing you can do about it.
I've just taken delivery of a Note 9, and I can't find anyway of configuring the phone so that once the "screen saver" screen has gone dark, one can be aware of a delivered message (if you didn't hear it) without constantly keep "liveing" the phone up with the power button to check.
All my previous Samsung and HTC phones had a little discrete flashing light, which made one aware of any awaiting incoming messages, without having to physicaly constantly check the phone every few minutes, "just in case'!
I hopeing that there is a way to incorporate a feature like this, or it goes straight in the bin?!
You can rule out in battery savings or go the app and set up what you need.my message just pup up.you can even set it as a hidden message ,just a notification

Thanks for taking the time to reply, but I forgot to say that you're dealing with an idiot here!!
I've gone all through the settings menu and turned off anything that relates to saving power, in any shape or form, but still no joy.
As for creating an application to reconfigure the phone, I'll afraid that that is way beyond me, unless you can actually list me a "stage by stage" set of instructions to preform it?
I am quite willing to give you/someone a small fee to do this on my behalf, as it will save me throwing it away. Ta

Did someone just send me something, if so, could it be sent again, as I went to open it, and it dropped out of sight, never to be found again!
This is I think all steps to get the message on the front screen.Message on locked display light up screen.
