Galaxy S5 doesn't wake up at home key.

youtu.be/wbqOni008hc
Any solutions? I want to know is it software or hardware problem?
edit: Specs
Marshmallow 6.0.1 G900HXXSACQAA/G900HOJP1CPL1/G900HXXU1CPCA
Smart Launcher Pro 3.16.06PX

Waouuuuuuu....
Never seen that before.
Backup, flash new firmware and reboot.
If problem still present, it's a material problem.
Good luck mate

Seems to be a standard problem. I have it too.
Internet forums are full of this problem.
Buy another phone than Samsung.

I've seeb it alot actually. I mean the wake up problem. But noone seems to fix it yet. If anyone did please tell me

Has anyone test this with older Android 5?

The "Weird" Screen in Low Brightness is AMOLED Burn-in due to intensive use, My S5 Have this problem too.

Try changing the HW overlay / Force GPU rendering in developer options, others have said that works for them, it seemed to for me also but only temporarily. I have had to stop using auto brightness.
Device not waking up is very irritating, even double tap the screen to wake has the same problem, doesn't seem to be the buttons themselves. If you have a custom rom or other way to set double pressing the power button to launch the camera it works as a workaround for me.

Thank you for all the answers guys.

that would be a good place to start

Flashed Wanted ROM, it's still the same. It was better at start tho and somehow it freezes less in battery saving mode.

sony xperia XZ？？？

I just installed it, so far it works well and seems better optimized than the AOSP version of Sony.

oh ****, too much not developping aosp and omnirom gets in

Not support sony xz dual. Sim delected
I hope rom support sony xz dual.

Had it for a few hours. Feels nice, the finger recognition doesnt really work though. Cameras good, sound is ok, once the finger recognition works thatl be ace. Just remember to install supersu and gapps too guys.

Few things...
- Bluetooth is messed up (range seems to be extremely limited and the audio quality when using a Bluetooth device is unusable)
- Severe echo during phone calls when not using Bluetooth
- Screen is frequently unresponsive after waking the phone. Pressing the power button to turn off the screen and turn it on again helps. Seems to be fixed by turning off Double Tap Screen to Wake
- No way to get it to pass SafetyNet
I'd recommend against using this. Certainly not a Daily Driver, but glad to see they're making progress.

Install next lock screen to find, the unresponsive after unlocking. There's no lock screen that's why.
Camera is poor too. I am using it and find it usable after finding a few apps to get around solutions. Battery life is crazy good atm.
Here's a good link to give ppl a rough idea of port status.

I see, they used my work on aosp, it contains some exact bugs i got before, i fixed some of them in the lastest build thanks to XZ dev discord

Camera has many issues. Fingerprint sensor. Few other small bits. But I love it. Shame battery dies so quickly due to "miscellaneous" app in battery usage.
New weekly build came out but I think no changes

Nevermind, and keep up your good work :good:

New nightly released was good, fixed a few smaller issues, but still the odd unresponsive lock screen once in 5, but only takes 1 second to hit the power button again.

How do you find the call quality?
It's garbled over bluetooth here, and in non-bluetooth calls the other person always complains they can hear an echo of their own voice.
Music quality over in-car bluetooth is fine though.
Apart from the above issue & the occasional random compilation error when applying a Substratum theme, it seems to run well so far.

I would be happiest if someone made a nice kernel, like the EX for our OmniRom featured XZ Kagura.
I would like to be able to play with that, but unfortunately I do not have time, and there are smarter people with much more experience @flar2 @_LLJY @AndroPlus

I use this rom and it does not detect my Sim

OK Google while AOD (Screen off)

Hi there,
Is there a workaround or a root function to enable Always On listening for 'OK Google' while the screen is off/AOD?
It is really bugging me but I cannot see a workaround already posted.
Thanks!

Can Tasker achieve something like this? I have only returned to Android after a 3 years break, any advice is much appreciated!

I have that setting enabled. It works on the lock screen where you can swipe to unlock, but not on the darker lock screen, where it shows the time and the outline of your notifications.

I have enabled them options. It works on the light lockscreen, where you can scroll your notifications and have the 2 icons in the bottom corners.
It does not work on the darker lock screen, or the Always On Display screen, where it only shows the time and the outline of notifications you have.

Works here as it should. With AOD and without. Are you rooted? If you are try other ROM. If you are not, try reflashing stock firmware with Odin or with Side Sync or whatever Samsung kies is now called.

I am not rooted. I heard if you root you can only charge your battery to 0%?
Okay, I will have a look into reflashing if that'll fix it.

Same for me Dan, works after you swipe but not from AOD, every tutorial I have seen says the same, has to be "open" before it will work.
Bixby will unlock from the AOD screen if you set that up, hope that helps

I have Bixby set up, which I just use to open Google now, not ideal, but it is a workaround nonetheless!

I am rooted. With custom ROM, NOTE 8 Port.
Charging works as it should, OK Google trigger works as well. I really don't have any problem.

It works for you because you are using a Note 8 ported ROM. Because Samsung enabled this feature on the Note 8. It will not currently work on the stock S8 ROM. Some people seem to be in a server side test to enable this feature though.

Okay, I see.
Does charging not stop at 80% for you because you are rooted?

It was working for me on Bat Stock ROM and it is S8 ROM. I never used stock ROM so I can't say anything about that, I rooted my device and flashed custom ROM before even setting it up after unboxing.

It stops. But there is a workaround if you have Snapdragon version. Mine is Exynos so it is as Samsung set it up.

I meant "open" as in on lock screen re your above post, the screen after AOD, sorry for any confusion

Same here works after you swipe but not from AOD, every time tutorial I have seen says the same has to be "open" before it will work.

It's best to think of the always-on display as "Screen Off", which is why OK Google doesn't work on stock ROM. That's standard Android procedure to avoid draining the battery by always listening for voice commands.
At one point, Google Assistant was able to listen when the screen was off, so long as the phone was being charged. Unfortunately, that feature disappeared at some point in the past half year or so (which caused me some confusion when it stopped working and I could no longer find the toggle).

That's not true. It still works on a Google Pixel running stock Android with the screen off and not charging. You never had to have it plugged in or charging for that to work. Samsung is the ONLY Android phone I know of that OK Google doesn't work with the screen off.

Screen Blackout HELP!

Hi all,
My screen would blackout from time to time. When I unlock the phone the screen wouldn't turn on but everything else works like multi touch. I feel the vibrate when navigating around.
A solution that works sometimes is hitting power button twice to launch camera.
I'm running Havoc Pie ROM. I know it's not an issue with the ROM because it happen with all of the. I've tired about 4 ROMs and is the same problem.
Please help me find a solution because it's very frustrating and is troublesome in a emergency situation.
Thanks in advance.

Did you drop the phone at any point?
Or anything to cause this?
Have you installed an app that was on all ROMs that you've installed?
EG: Camera app.

dont go lower than 10%! brightness or the screen come black! and you cant continue becus you cant see nothing.(also disable auto brightness)
yes it can be a vendor problem,yes it can also be a image problem.
i just give my opinion its not really needed to have a gsi pie image on your phone,for now its full with bugs,and i think there is really not much improvements on the pie OS compared to oreo

Incoming calls in 'Do Not Disturb' mode.

Hi everyone,
Don't know for sure if this is the right place to post the thread as it is a Miui 10 problem.
As I am totally happy with my rooted Poco F1 on LineageOS, I bought my girlfriend a Redmi Note 7 recently (which i keep unrooted). Great phone overall, but there is one big issue for us and that's the DND (Do Not Disturb) mode. First of all, when DND activated there are still Whatsapp notifications which is a well known bug in Miui, because I read it everywhere. Anyway, I just disabled the notifications in Whatsapp so that's no big deal anymore.
Bigger problem is the incoming phone calls in the DND mode. When someone is calling (not a favourite/starred contact), it's almost impossible to see if the phone is 'ringing'. The screen keeps black and only when you activate te screen you see a small green block in the left top corner with 00:00 written in it. This is pretty frustrating as we never can see if anyone is calling. This is the first time I face something like this, usually the screen lights up and you will see the incoming call information. On LineageOS it works perfect actually...
Somebody facing the same problem? If yes, is it possible to solve, as DND mode is complete useless for us now...
Thanks already!
Best wishes,
Mark

UP! Sorry for being pushy, but this is really important to use the phone in a proper way.
Thanks again!
Mark

I think this is just a Miui 10 'bug'. Does this forum have a Miui 10 section where I can post this question? I searched for it, but I can't find it that quick. Maybe I'm a bit blind as well
Thanks!
Mark

Sorry to bother, but is there no one who face this problem? Or is it just how the DND function works?

This is not how usual DND works. It's just an Miui thing. I too find it annoying since I depend on DND a lot. Best option is to unlock and flash a custom ROM with normal DND behaviour.

Thanks for your reply! Indeed, it's pretty useless this way...
I'm running a custom ROM on my Poco F1, but as this phone is for my girlfriend I don't want to flash if not needed. She just use her phone very simply, and I think rooting is not neccessary for her. She don't has any benefits from it, except a nice working DND modus

Keep us posted in case you find a solution without flashing a custom rom

One month ahead, maybe someone has a workaround?

Still nothing I'm afraid? DND mode is pretty useless now...

Hello OP!
I do not have solution for this problem, but I'm here to cheer you up, as I came to this thread facing the same problem on my Mi Mix 3. Unfortunately, it looks like we are the only two MIUI users who suffer from this feature. Hopefully there is third one in the world wide web who knows the workaround and share it with us.

Yeah, I think it's pretty strange that nobody cares about this, so maybe we are using it the wrong way. Anyway, I'm always in silent mode excluding for starred contacts. Maybe it will be solved in the future, we will see...
Take care!

I would check with the Xiaomi MIUI community forums to see if anyone's found a fix over there.
They're way more active with MIUI information vs XDA

What's your problem with rooting?
To use custom ROM you need open bootloader, have root... it's your choice, usually custom roms don't have root by default, who want can flash magisk package.
My wife using now phone with custom rom, without root. I changed the rom, because the phone is old, and don't get official update.
Other option can be to use alternative DND app, what you can configure as you wish.

Just posting to let you know that I have the same issue, and it is very annoying.
At least my Mi Band vibrates even on DND mode (which shouldn't happen, but lol right now it's good that it does because otherwise I'd have no way to tell that someone is calling). When sleeping, the watch detects it and also stop notifications. Which is also annoying, DND on the watch and on the phone should be in sync but that's just a perfect example of how very unperfect Xiaomi's ecosystem is.
I guess a "solution" could be to use "Silent" mode instead of DND and disable vibration? Didn't check if even possible, just a thought.
