Hi,
Wondering if anyone else is getting this bug after lollipop update? Round overlaid buttons such as the compose new email in gmail or button for the keypad in the dialler app are completely unresponsive. It's like they aren't there and when I press them - it will open whatever is just behind it like an email or a contact in the dialler. It's a frustrating bug.
I'm pretty sure it isn't hardware because the touchscreen works in that area on other apps and it started with lollipop. Factory reset has not fixed it either.
Any ideas?
Thanks
have you tried reinstalling the Factory image (if Stock) via adb, or at least tried to fastboot flash the boot.img / system.img? Its pretty obvious, that it's not a hardware issue, cause you said, the touchscreen works on that location.

Did a search, but not coming up with anything....
Are there any known problems with the messaging program and other apps? Of all of the programs on my MDA/Wizard, that one gives me the most problems. It:
- looses settings
- freezes up
- has intermittant problems sending email
- wont launch from the Today Screen, the Start menu OR the designated hardkey.
I have to soft reset my device atleast 2x a day when the msging craps out and wont respond.
Any ideas?
thats odd, do you have any 3rd party apps related to do with messaging installed? the only messaging problem i've encountered is sending a message to a group.
Hi Thx for responding!
No, other than Agile, I have nothing else and my set up is not fancy - I'm only pulling my Yahoo pop3 to the device.
It's just so weird - no other program is giving me these problems. :x
what bugs me with messaging is that you can't move between the To: field and the Message body itself with tappin on the screen pressing TAB or the down keys just scrolls down the display but doesn't move you to the field very counter intuitive IMO. Hampers stylus free operation.
I have had some problems getting it to launch from the today screen or the hardware button.
I have the same problem with my t-mobile MDA> I called tech support and they said that it was a known problem that they are hoping to fix it withan upcoming ROM update but they didn't have a date. So, they are sending me another handset. -I don't know why as I'm sure that it's going to have the same problem.
Also, I have a qtek9100 as well and it has never had this problem.
That's something to note - that it is rom related. I wonder if flashing to a newer rom would stop it from happening all together.

I had this problem too. I found that it was caused when I enabled IE smooth scrolling in the registry.
Hi
This thread is about the new 1.72 OTA update for anyone who hasn't rooted, s-off'd etc.. Its for discussing changes, improvements, new bugs and such like. As there is no official change list, note it down and we'll get there.
If you own, or have questions about the G2, this is not applicable, the software is different. This is for the Stock Desire Z as shipped. Thanks!!
Downloaded over WLAN and it installed in about 10 mins and several reboots. If you can, try hard reset as its been reported this helps with the SMS notification bug.
My observations (UK SIM free):
New Android build (2.2.1)
New Kernel (2.6.32.21-g540976a Dec 1st)
New Radio (12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2)
Fixes:
Battery life better (mixed reports, but probably slightly better)
Rear speaker louder (again, needs to be tested in the wild)
Wireless LAN seems a lot quicker
Camera application improved.. (Stuttering improved when recording 720p Thanks, monomer888 & tbalden)
Snappier / Smoother menu transitions
More characters in hardware SYM list (like < and > )
Annoying Text message bug seems better but not solved (type screen jumps down as msg's load)
The delivery receipt now shows the contact name instead of the phone number. (Thanks missparker76)
Adding linked (Phone + Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) contacts to groups (e.g. Favorites) now works - they appear in the list of contacts when trying to add them. (Thanks Darthmelk)
BUGS:
SMS notifications.. Occasionally doesn't notify, sometimes cant dismiss until you go to the notification screen (Thanks Algobardo) HTC are aware..
Its lost my notification settings, sounds, volumes but that easy to put back. Kept themes, backgrounds, widgets and most other settings.
[RESOLVED] HTCSense.com not connecting to phone. Messages and Contacts still sync but unable to get location, lock or ring phone.
Slightly increased lag when rotating sense (Thanks knoeki )
Gallery showing unviewable files as a broken icon, sometimes not updating (Thanks moolash)
Changes:
New Dock menu item in settings?? (I thought it was new too Darthmelk)
LinkedIn and Picasa updates are either included, or working properly now. (Thanks Darthmelk)
Discuss!!
Craig
HTC said something about camera improvements, notice anything there ?
Erm, there seems to be more settings to play with. Maybe a bit quicker to focus and flash timing improved..
And it fixed my menu button

What was wrong with your Menu button ?

It wouldn't work... The phone would vibrate when I pressed it but nothing would appear, although the one on the keyboard would open the menu
Got me scared at first... thought it was a faulty phone
I think there's a new "Dock" option in Settings, to start the Car Panel automatically when the phone is mounted in a holder. Was it there before? Probably there are lots of very small bug-fixes we don't notice.
Battery seems as bad as always for now (using push and 2hr syncs), the hardware keyboard still doesn't have the romanian symbol "ă" when long-pressing "a". Btw, is there a way to install other languages for the hardware keyboard? I only get English.
after the ota mine has a quite annoying problem.
When i read a sms message the notification on top doesn't disapper unless i access the messaging application through the notification itself.
Anyone with the same problem ?
Suggested solutions ?

Confirmed.. Thats annoying. [EDIT] SOMETIMES!!!! Its now working.
It did it for me initially when I got the phone with stock 1.34 but never did it again.. Maybe its while it refreshes / builds the back end database.
Just now I sent about 4 messages (from external devices) where it would not dismiss or in one case not even notify!! But i've sent about 10 now that work flawlessly every time.
Maybe worth clearing all the messages out after upgrading. Its clear they've been working on the SMS app as I don't get the jumping text box any more

I think you need to change your locale to ro_RO (Romanian (Romania).

Cant say I've every had that one! perhaps a bad flash from factory or a hangover from rooting??

Ive had that annoying notification bug (Hi, 1 week into desire z ownership btw), and I have definitely had messages without notification too. Does seem to be a bit random tho. Will see how it goes. Otherwise, it's a pretty good phone. Nice to see a section with ppl who don't root the lives outta their phones, i'm trying really hard not to for a while if i can, as you just end up changing things and re-setting everything up on a weekly basis else, and i've had enough of all that.

Nope, that will only change all the text into Romanian, but it will not add a Romanian hardware keyboard option (so no "ă" character when long-pressing "a").

At last - I'm not going mad - mine does this too after the OTA update - it's really really annoying. It's actually worse than described, because if you clear the notification by dragging the notification bar, any future SMS messages will *not* actually be alerted - no sound, no notification icon, no notification button number.
We need a fix...
I don't have this problem. If I get a new SMS, I can slide to the SMS widget and the notification clears instantly (but the SMS is still unread until I get to the SMS app, of course). If I clear the notification after dragging down the notification screen, I will get a new notification when a new SMS arrives.
"When i read a sms message the notification on top doesn't disapper" - where do you read the SMS if not inside the SMS app?
As i've previously posted, I haven't had the no notification or clear problem since.. I've been sending and receiving messages so it seems to clear itself. I use the messaging app from a shortcut.
See if it just clears by itself..
Yeah, ok. If it persists, I may use SMS Backup and clear out the database and start afresh. It is behaving at the moment...
Anyone notice the new teardrop caret/cursor when moving the cursor in a text input box?
Also, camera is still pants compared with my old Desire and the update doesn't seem to have done anything to improve quality.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I got this for Xmas, I openen the box and before playing around with 1.34 that came with it I installed the OTA 1.72.
I am amazed, have no bugs to complain about. I do not see a reason to get root or so. Sense is fine, I love it.
I came from WM, pretty many tweak skills, but i don't need tweaking any yet.

I have definitly noticed issue with sms notification too ... Undoubtly there is something wrong and it triggers just sometimes.
Another thing which may have changed is in menu where you choose your ring tone - I think there wasnt option to choose any mp3 from your phone. I had have to google some instructions how to do it which involved copying mp3 to the specific folder.
Yeah, updated fine all seems good, only thing to complain about is the SMS problems, doesnt even let me know i got a text most the time.
Tried factory reset erasing everything ect nothing helps
Just have to wait for a fix then i guess...
Need help as my phone became barely usable aftaer OTA update.
The top end of the screen (about 1 cm top to down) is not responding to touch. I cant tap any input in common use cases like using google search box widget, answering a call while in app using the new call feature, tap Send when composing an email and so on...
The only case this part of screen is active is when pulling down the notification bar, tapping objects like the clock (time display) Setting icon etc'. So I beleave this is not a hardware issue.
I did wipe the catch with no help and reset to factory setting with no help as well.
Did anyone experiance the same issue?
Any idea how can I overcome this except down grading back to 4.4.2?
Any easy trick for some one who is not a developer or deeply technical?
THANKS!
Hello, i just bought my new galaxy s8 and i notice i have a problem with facebook app...only with facebook app .I put my icons on home page so if i log in facebook and

so nobody know what is the problem? maybe phone soft is not good or is just facebook app?!
I have the exact same problem. When using back button to exit facebook, wallpaper bounces for a sec, but when using home button that doesn't happen. I tried reinstalling facebook, but id didn't help. I had 2 S8+ software updates, and facebook app updates but problem persists.
If anyone knows how to fix this small annoying issue, you're welcome to help.
Best regards
ERMGH...is called live Wallpaper???
Same problem here. It's bad enough that when pressing back, you have to wait for the timeline to scroll all the way back to the top, before you can press back again to exit, then you have to watch the wallpaper quickly zoom in and out.
Funnily enough, my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 rotates the screen after using Facebook in landscape mode, so it's definitely Facebook having some form of issue with Samsung phones.
Same problem
Must be a laggy animation

no is not live wallpaper is just when pressing back arrow to exit facebook, the background is like moving in and out really fast looks like half second lag something like that.
I had many facebook updates but still not fixed..hopefuly somebody can sort it out for us..i just pray to don`t be a bug in the phone or problem with the soft...
i see
did anyone else noticed that Facebook trends are now showing up in Bixby feed?
Happens to me as well, and I'm using Nova Launcher
same here on Nova launcher with Starfield live wallpaper. looks like the app is running in a different resolution and the wallpaper has to resize... maybe it's something to do with the way the app expands to the weird aspect ratio of the s8...
Any update regarding this problem? Here are the things I've tried - Cache Partition Wiped, Full Factory Reset, Tried All screen resolutions, Increased speed of exit animations. thru the developers menu. But the problem still remains. The screen bounces when you exit the facebook app by pressing the back button. It exits normally if you press the home button.
Another weird thing, if you clear the cache/data from app settings, the facebook app exits normally if you press the back button (when you're not logged on to fb). But, as soon as you login to facebook the problem reappears.
Samsung service centre reflashed the firmware of the phone but the problem is still there. They wont replace the device because the app is third party (albeit comes preinstalled).
Any help would be highly appreciated. It's starting to annoy me.
maybe somebody can report this straight to Samsung...I`ve done it but they say is about facebook to fix it.I report to facebook and they say can`t fix everybody`s problem but only major bugs.
so please everybody report the problem to facebook and to samsung and maybe they release an update
I have the same problem ..hope they will fix it
PS. To rezolve the problem go and set the animation to 0 in developer setings..this work for me..
this is called motion effect for wallpaper!
Never noticed this "problem" before. But I tested this out just now and it didn't happen. Then I thought maybe it's because my Facebook app icon is in a folder and not on the homescreen. So I tried moving it to the homescreen and it started happening to me too. Moved it back to the folder and nothing.
So... I guess this is a workaround for the people that are experiencing this issue.

So I am experiencing the same bugs. I have recorded the glitch on my S8+ and sent Samsung the YouTube link:
The told me to contact Facebook instead.
However, you can see what's actually happening with the video. When closing any app there is a zoom-out effect. Facebook however appears to be using a slide effect instead. When this is done the phone does the zoom-out anyway -- and that's the glitch.
There is still no solution for the annoying glitch. Does anyone else experience this issue?
My GS8+ received update AQG5 today, this appears to resolve the glitch :fingers-crossed:
After getting the Android 7 September 2017 security patch on my LS997 (Sprint V20), I am having a recurring issue that is driving me nuts. Any menu I bring up that overlays the rest of the screen (think swipe-down menu or Messenger chat head) is "minimizing" on its own randomly. For example, I swipe down to get the menu icons and now it's scrolling back up on its own before I touch anything. Or, I'll be using Messenger's chat head function to open a message and, in the middle of reading or even typing, it just closes back to the chat head. It's super aggravating if I'm in the middle of typing when it closes because then I hit another icon that opens some app I had no intention of opening.
It doesn't seem like it's doing this to anything that opens in its own separate window, just these sorts of menus that overlay anything else that's already up. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on a fix? I'd appreciate the help!
This is also occurring for me after the update. Extremely aggravating. Happening for family members with V20's too.

Sorry to hear it's happening to you too but glad I'm not going crazy thinking it's just me. Seems like this is an issue with the "draw over other apps" setting, perhaps? I've submitted reports to LG and Facebook, though this is happening with the stock OS swipe-down menu as well. LG got back to me and suggested I try putting the phone in Safe Mode and seeing if the issue persists. During my testing, this did not occur again while in Safe Mode. Upon returning to regular mode, the issue continued. LG stated that behavior suggests it's not part of the system and may be due to an installed app. I've tried uninstalling Messenger updates but it won't allow me to use it without running the most current version. I went into app settings and turned off "draw over other apps" for every app but Messenger but the issue persists.
Short of doing a factory reset, I'm not sure what else to do to get this to go away. Help would be appreciated!
