Hi. First boot worked (stock unbranded phone from best buy/carphone warehouse). I put in another different to the vodafone one I put in initially and now the phone won't complete the boot cycle.
It boots, and after the splash screens and the toolbar states media scan, and then media scan complete it goes to a star-burst screen background with clock and so on - but no options and no ability to do anything. There's a ! icon in a triangle in top left corner, and network icon on right - but again as I said no other options icons etc. power button allows me to do usual airplane and data disable modes, or power off, but that's it.
The manual doesn't say what's what.
Any ideas? Help appreciated.
Edit : Splash screen is just over top of launcher. pinching / swiping it out of the way fixed it. Leaving post here incase any other new samsung users find same issue on second boot. Feel a bit silly

Last night my XDA Mini S froze while using PIE, so I did a soft reset, put the phone down and went to sleep. Noticed this morning that it's stuck at the Windows Mobile splash screen - still in Landscape mode which is what I was using when PIE froze. Done another soft reset, same problem. My LEDs are flashing as usual, one green and the Bluetooth one.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Ok, it started working for some reason - but I noticed when it got to my today screen that my NotesToday plugin wasn't there. I went into Settings > Today > Items, and NotesToday was ticked. I unticked it, clicked OK, then re-ticked it and it showed up again on my today screen. Fine. However now everytime I press the power button to come out of sleep mode, my Today screen flashed up fine for about 0.5 sec, then flashed white for a millisecond, then comes up fine EXCEPT the whole "top" bar (i.e. the part of the screen with Start button, clock, signal strength, etc) stays solid white, and I can't see any of those icons. Rest of the screen is fine. If I click Unlock, the whole screen is fine after that.
Help!
I had a similar problem with a different part of the screen staying white after coming out of hibernate (the O2 active UI sidepanel)...Hard reset fixed it and the problem hasn't returned (although I don't use the O2 UI now...)
If your device freezes on the Windows loading screen, then soft reset it and while it is loading the next time, press one of the hardware buttons, such as the D-pad or the green or red phone buttons, continually as it loads. This should keep the lights behind the buttons turned on, and it should load Windows without a problem.
Had the same error on my phone, I think it tries to hibernate as it loads Windows or something equally stupid. Pressing a button continually prevents this and allows it to load normally.
Hello
I have two little issues I can't find soultion to..
1. My device boots, htc logo appears and then keypad shows up to enter the SIM PIN...but it closes before I input so I have to manually turn off the airplane mode and then turn cellular on...
Is there a way to fix this?
2. The topright corner cross (or sometimes even the OK) should be white (if clickable) but sometimes it is grey..is this normal or I have something bad going on...it works, it is just annoying that sometimes it is gray sometimes white...
If someone knows how to fix these two please let me know...thank you very much...
if only these two issues was the only ones....
Concerning the pin code screen that disappear, instead of put your phone on plane mode, you can just click the call button : it will display the pin code screen again.
ow..thanks you..I will try that one..
and regarding the issues...luckilly I dont have many...
1. This seems to be TF3D - when the phone re-starts from reset it wants the SIM code. But, TF3D starts as well and then takes over the screen. Any use of the phone now will give the SIM code screen. So, the other advice is good: hit the call button. I normally just wait for TF3D to do it's start-up and I normally get automatically the SIM code input screen.
2. I use http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html as a replacement for the OK button. But before I never had the grey OK button. Try exploring the OK button options in start - system - task manager - button
thanks for your help....
ow and btw I hate touchflo
i have standart homescreen customized
If you don't need the security provided, why not turn off the SIM pin entry?
I got my HD2 in hong kong:
manila:1.0.19211620.0
rom:1.72.831.1 (82124) WWE
OS: 5.2.21869 (2.1869.5.0.082)
so after installing the cab i noticed that everytime i tried to put the music player on the first homepage above the main page, i would encounter a manila problem and then the top left of my screeen would be replaced by a white box. thereafter, the music player and white box would be stuck on the screen even if i change homepage tabs.
but my main problem is that the phone will always freeze very frequently. It happens a lot after i lock my screen. I will press a hardware button and the buttons will light up but the screen will take a while to turn on (if it even ends up turning on). And even if it does, all i see sometimes is the notification bar at the top of the screen where the battery, reception and wifi info is. Sometimes i can click the start menu key or the screen key and access the start menu but not always.
another problem is that somtimes when pressing a key after hte phone has been locked and screen turned off, it will reappear at the last screen i was after before locking the phone. it may then suddenly go to the lock screen, or just freeze there.
another problem i have is that after soft resetting, it takes a REALLY long time to "load htc sense". sometimes the text telling me its loading will disappear for seconds and reappear. i have had a point where sense just refused to load so i had to reinstall the cab. luckily for me at the time i was still able to access the start menu.
also, sometimes when i'm just using my phone in general, the screen will freeze and then the phone will go back to the "loading htc sense" page. For the most part, htc sense does load in this situation
now the phone runs very slowly and glitches between previously viewed pages. the camcorder barely runs..
it seems that many things trigger the phone to freeze but its always the same things that do.
i would appreciate any help from the developers or anything with experiences that are like mine.
i know my manila version is off but i asked someone in a different thread and he said that my manila version should be compatable.. if it is not, i guess i have no choice but to uninstall it.. shame
if so, could someone tell me how to uninstall? thanks
My OP2 started turning the screen off randomly. I tried rebooting, safe mode etc without any help. Finally I returned the factory settings. The problem persists, but it is now more systematic:
- when turned off, the battery charge animation shows on the screen
- after booting, the Oneplus logo and start-up animation show on the screen
- after that the welcome screen shows (as usual after returning factory settings) and I can select the language and press next >
- on the following page I can select the keyboard, but when I press next >, the screen turns off (but the phone stays on)
So, it seems that the screen and touch panel are functioning, because the first start-up pages are shown as usual. The third start-up page always turns the screen off, but before it does I can see that there would be wifi settings. Could it be that activating wifi (or some other?) resources have some impact on the issue? In any case this seems to be a HW-related.
Any ideas?
I was on official Pie beta (which worked excellent for me) with locked bootloader and today morning I got OTA for Pie stable. I thought what could possibly go wrong and updated it.
After updating successfully, On lock screen, I swiped up to enter my password, and it just showed me black screen. I tried various ways to go past that black screen. Nothing seemed to work. I tried reflashing Pie BETA zip from SD card in recovery, but that also failed as it showed error that it cannot flash old version when on new version. I don't want to factory reset as all my important app data will be gone. I can't even set the USB connectivity behaviour to MTP as selecting that option also shows me black screen. I am able to use camera and google assistant directly via lock screen but when trying to do anything else it shows me that black screen. I tried clearing cache from recovery, but that also didn't get me past that black screen. I can receive calls but can't do anything else. Even Whatsapp Web is working but I cannot open Whatsapp from my phone. I can't afford to factory reset as all my assignments are there in an app.
My last bet is to wait for someone or Asus to post Pie Stable zip and then reflash that zip from stock recovery via SD card.
If someone have any solution or has suffered from similar problem, please help
Hi,
I was also facing the same issue after updating to android Pie.
Here is a way around, using which I was able to access the phone.
Press power button.
You will be able to see the lock screen.
On the bottom bar, you will be able to see buttons,
on left, mic
in middle lock
and on right camera.
Swipe mic button, it will open the google assistance, however, it will ask for unlocking the screen.
Once you unlock this screen, you can go back to home screen.
If all go right, you will be back on your home screen and now your lock functionality will also be working as expected

Thanks for answering
Entering password on that black screen also works.
Simply switch to a dark wallpaper instead of a light colour wallpaper.
