Hi,
The navigation and status bars, and notification shade (presumably because they are controlled by the same system process) are freezing very often on my Nexus 4. It seems to happen after unlocking the phone when it's been on standby - either the little dotted circle persists for 2-3 seconds or the navigation buttons begin the 'fade in' animation, and freeze during it for a 2-3 seconds. The status bar is also affected, the time disappears from the top-right corner and the notification shade is unresponsive while frozen, then moving rapidly as it catches up with my finger movements that occurred during the freeze.
The most confusing part of the issue is that it has persisted across a full system wipe. It originally began on PA 3.99, and so I decided to do a factory wipe and go back to stock, blaming the ROM. I made sure to wipe all storage and settings, caches and restore the stock recovery. This worked for a short while but the issue has returned as bad as ever. It seems to go away temporarily when I reboot, but returns fairly soon. The only link between the installations is whatever settings are restored from Google's servers when setting up the phone. Could they be at fault? Has anyone else had the issue, or does anyone know of a fix?
Thanks.

I rooted my LG G2 vs980 (Verizon) many months ago. However I never actually performed any modifications. Don't ask haha.
Anyways, I wanted to unroot my phone, and being that I rooted it with ioroot, I was told to unroot it just by simply going into the settings in SuperSu and hitting Full clean uninstall. I did just that, however it stayed on the uninstalling screen forever, and NEVER WENT AWAY. It never finished the uninstalling process. I even left the phone doing the uninstalling process all night and never touched it. I had no interference with the uninstalling process.
When I realized it wasn't going to uninstall, I backed out, and did a factory reset on my phone, then restarted the uninstall process. Still the same.
This time when I tried using my phone:
1)My home button didn't work. When it was pressed, it would vibrate normally, but would not actually go to the home screen.
2) The little settings icon in the status bar, when dragged down, does not work. I have to hit the menu button and go into settings that way.
3) The lock screen does not work. I have a lock screen setup with a pattern. However the lock screen completely does not work, as if my phone isn't locking all the way. The screen will go black, and come back on with no lock screen.
4) My notifications completely do not work. My phone will sometimes make sound/vibrate like normal when receiving a notification, but my status bar will not show anything.
5) My computer won't even recognize my phone anymore either.
6) Volume buttons don't work.
7) So many other problems with the status bar.
Moral of the story, phone's screwed.
All help is greatly appreciated.
At this point, since there seems to be be so many issues, AND since you're already done a factory reset, I'd recommend just flash stock and start from the beginning again (which you've pretty much done already).
Problem: My vs980's touchscreen is at times erratic and sometimes will not register touches in the statusbar area therefore rendering the phone mostly unusable. This first occurred about 2 days ago but wasn't bad. It went away and i didn't think anything of it but today it's back and much worse. Note that i didn't flash any new rom or make any real changes to my phone in the period that this happened.
------------------------------------------------------
Info:
Phone: vs980 ROM: Xdabbeb's VS980 1.1.0
------------------------------------------------------
Symptoms:
-The screen usually won't register taps/downward swipes in the statusbar area.
-Pinching the phone tightly together doesn't help any(it had been reported that doing that fixed some issues that some people had)
-Phantom taps in the statusbar area (which cause the screen to turn off. this happens as frequently as 10-ish second intervals)
-The phantom taps/Unresponsiveness seem completely isolated to the statusbar area (i mean, to the best of my ability to detect, exactly the pixel space the statusbar takes up, i tried this at 480 and 400dpi)
-Knock Code will not usually work with the screen off. Sometimes it's iffy with the screen on.
-The screen seems to be able to detect swipes in a direction parallel to the statusbar (ex: i can move a launcher screen left/right from the statusbar area, but it won't register a tap a downward motion in the statusbar area)
-I booted into recovery and weird things seemed to happen. There seemed to be a few phantom taps(which is dangerous) I reflashed my rom and that didn't help.
-I left the phone alone plugged up in a window for 30 minutes or so. The problem went away for 10 or so minutes and came back. Not sure if that matters..
-When scrolling or anything involving movement, the phantom taps basically make it hell to do anything
-----------------------------------------------------
Things I've tried:
-Updating touch fw in hiddenmenu. It appeared to fix it for all of 30 seconds. Knock Code worked with the screen off. But then it just came back.
-Reflashing my rom
-Rebooting
-Wiping cache/Dalvic
-Cleaning the screen/Hands
----------------------------------------------------
What i haven't tried:
-Complete TOT back to stock- I really don't want to do this
-Any more ideas?
----------------------------------------------------
Help is very much appreciated
Lockscreen not working, also "System UI isn't responding" and Settings app FC
Hey there. I hope this hasn't been addressed already, I wasn't able to find a thread that would help me.
I'm running stock 6.0, no root. A month ago, one day my MXP lockscreen started having some pretty terrible problems; it wouldn't respond, basically. Pulling down would end up with a frozen lock image, then I'd need to press the power button to switch it off, then press it again to get to the proper lockscreen, and that wouldn't work either. After trying about 200 times I would be able to unlock it, then I'd start having problems with the notification bar (wouldn't work/wouldn't get to quick toggles). I tried rebooting several times, but after a few seconds on the issue would start again. Somehow after a while it seemed to start working properly on its own.
Today the same thing is happening. Only this time it's persisting after four hours. I guessed I would just disable the lockscreen altogether, and that seemed to work for about ten minutes. Now I get the notification bar issue, random system UI not responding messages, app switcher issues, a sometimes-not-working home soft button, and when I try to set the lockscreen again it asks for my pin (which I'm not sure it should, being that I disabled the lock); when I type it in the security app crashes.
The issue persists on safe mode as well.
Any ideas? Thanks a lot in advance
Factory reset?
Time for a custom ROM, may I suggest TruePure 2.9
Sent from my XT1575 using XDA-Developers mobile app
OP isn't rooted, so suggesting a new ROM is not going to help. If this is happening even in safe mode, it isn't app related. Sounds like a hardware issue. Contact Motorola (or Lenovo).
Hello everyone. long time lurker first time poster,
I've had my V20 since the beginning of July, I rooted it the first week. It had been running great (stock rom) until the last 2 weeks. The first thing that i noticed was that my Google Chrome and Play store were missing from my home screen. I checked the app drawer, nothing, then went to the application manager, still could not be found. Did some quick research and found nothing helpful. I eventually went through a "battery saving" app like greenify or wakelock (I can't remember) and found the application data. I was thankfully able to go to the play store through said app and open them, which placed them back into view in my app drawer. This was a strange occurrence but brushed it off as nothing.
Fast forward to this week and more issues are arising. More apps are randomly vanishing, I only noticed because one particular app I use to disable annoying services was gone and the stock settings came back. After getting that back to block the services my phone has become very laggy. still functioning just slow at times. I also get a random vibration with no notification or prompt showing on screen. This only happens when the phone is awake. It is not a full vibration just a quick buzz, similar to a single key press with haptic feedback turned on. This happens while nothing is visably taking place on screen and no input from me. I have checked all settings I can think of, but still am stumped. The last issue is with my mobile connectivity, at random times my 4G will have no connection. I thought it was just bad reception because wifi was working fine. I confirmed it is just 4g because while i was in a small area with blocked signal it dropped to 3g and worked fine, but as soon as it switched back to 4g boom no connection. I have tried rebooting several times when these issues occurred, toggled many settings and even uninstalled several apps I thought could cause problems. I am having no luck and cannot find any common problems through my research.
TL;DR
- rooted v20 running stock rom
-random apps being removed but still installed
-4G connection issues
-random <100ms vibration
-times of bad lag
short of flashing back to original any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance
Factory reset to start.
Pull battery. Replace.
Hold vol down.
Press power.
HOLD powerbutton.
When LG logo shows, let go of powerbutton 1x.
ONLY 1X needed.
Re depress power, stat.
Select yes 2x.
Boots into TWRP. Factory reset.
If aboce doesnt work wipe all but external sd
Reinstall preferred ROM.
profit?
Hi folks,
I let my phone (6T, international version, completely stock never rooted), update to Android 11 this morning.
One thing is bugging me so far: at random times, I'll get brief flashes of some other window popping up momentarily (too fast for me to see what it is), and then it goes away. But it throws games into pause mode and takes me out of the flow.
What's causing this and how do I turn it off?
Welll this is not a normal behavior, so noone know why and how. Seems android 11 is not yet stable for us. I rolled back to android 10 on my 6T mclaren
Progress update: this problem seems to have resolved itself. I think it may have had to do with each app gradually settling in. A few reboots and some hours later the phone seems stable, though I'm having a few smaller issues like my phone icon left my home screen, I've now got TWO "Contacts" apps, and other minor stuff.
More update... the popups are back. I think they happen frequently after a reboot then settle down over time. I will keep an eye on it and report back anything I find in case it helps others.
Partial solution: I filmed what was going on in slow motion and despite my hand being in the way I saw the popup said "Gallery kee" presumably "Gallery Keeps Closing" or something like that. I don't use the Gallery app so I disabled it in Settings\Apps. Let's see if the problem keeps up. Maybe other apps are also contributing, and I'll have to address them one by one.
After a full day and another reboot for unrelated reasons, I can confirm that disabling the Gallery app fixed the problem. Not a single popup since I disabled it. Since I never use Gallery, only Google Photos, for me it's no loss. Probably a cache wipe would have sufficed as well. I did a a full cache wipe today to address a Gmail issue, and at some point I'll re-enable Gallery and see if the problem recurs despite the cache wipe.
