Screen off bug see my video - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Hello I am having a weird problem when I turn off my screen it flashes off and on and then off again. I do have a few Magisk modules like deep buffer remove and Youtube vanced (ad free screen off play), also Viper4 android. I need all these mods. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hufONxDpwjE&feature=youtu.be

I must be the only one ):

It was happening to me too. When you click the power button to lock it dims the screen then flashes on for a second and then turns back off right? (Sorry the video you posted isn't playing for me) it was doing that after the update to 8.1 almost every single time I locked the screen but was fixed in the most recent update the other day. Haven't had that issue occur since the latest update. On version OPM1.180104.141

Nexus 7 2013 random freezing

Hi guys i got some freezing issues, anyone got an idea what could it be? i'm totally new to Android/tablets, so other then this info, i don't know what else to say, or explain the issue better, it just freezing for like 5 sec, and after it works normal, its random freezing. I hope anyone can help me, thanks.
Is it when you update or install apps?
This is normal, the OS can freeze for a few seconds during write operations.

What ROM and kernel are you using? Are you over clocked?

No overclock at all, Kernel - 3.4.0-g9e52a21
Build number JSS15R all stock here. No custom ROM's..
I experience the same BS on an all stock WIFI model (2013.06 date code). Thought it was JB 4.3 teething pain but my Note 3 running 4.3 doesn't do it. Have mainly noticed it playing Great Big War Game where it'll randomly freeze the whole tablet once per launch for about 10 secs where nothing responds (show touch, home, switch task, etc.) then it'll either return to normal or prompt with dialog to wait or close. Have also had it happen in Modern Combat 3 along with the random app close that, again, doesn't affect Note 3. Haven't seen newer apps affected so perhaps it's a software issue and is fixable but it's irritating nevertheless considering it's a Nexus device and after correcting the touch issues with ts10 firmware update. Going to try reflashing the stock image to see if it fixes it otherwise looking forward to dumping this Asus for a Note 10.1 2014 LTE. My Note 10.1 2013 and Note 2 have been 100% solid with never a crash, hang or touch issues.
I had freezing problems when i was trying out the TS20 fix. TS10 seems to yield erratic behaviour randomly after each reboot.
Ever snce i've been testing the ones between TS10 and TS20. TS16 works better for me than TS18 - just being more responsive but both has no reboot issues. Am testing TS14 now and it seems better than TS16 but i needed more time to run it. None of the 14,16 and 18 has given me any kind of freeze after 24hrs of testing on multi-touch intensive apps.
You might wanna give 16 a try... i will be posting a more detailed update in sfhub's thread when i'm done with TS14 and TS12 testing.
Cheers
Thanks for the answers guys, but this is really new to me, i got no idea what is TS 14, TS 18 or TS16, can you guys explain me a bit? thanks.
I had the same issue. Please see my observations at post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46082214#post46082214
However, I have recently tried to uninstall all apps (backing up with titanium backup) and installing back in bunches. With only the apps/games I use daily, the issue appears to have subsided, and I am trying to slowly bring apps back to see what the issue is.
Original post for consolidation purposes:
When it happens: Touch intensive Games (drastic, MMOJ, Dumb Ways) appears to be when the 3D GPU is NOT in use, netflix, when paused for a short while.
What happens:
1. Screen does not update display appears frozen
2. No response from nav bar icons
3. Power, volume buttons give no response.
4. If audio was playing right before it froze, it will keep playing as if nothing wrong.
5. If I hit the power button or the nav button then let it sit for a few minutes, suddenly it will react to every press I did in quick motion and go back to normal.
5a. I had show touches enabled, which showed a random number of the frozen touches working in quick succession when it "unfroze"
6. Sometimes requires a hard restart with no response.
When it started: Right before the Q update starting rolling out, did not have issues out of the box.
Purchase date and location: Right around the time of launch from best buy, 32 GB 2013 version
Troubleshooting steps: Safe mode (doesn't appear as often), full factory restore to the Q image when the R image started rolling out. Issues were gone for a short timeframe, then returned
Config information: Stock, latest firmware version, rooted via TWRP (latest version installed), and SU.
Observation: Appears to occur in select situations, and I believe I always have a GMAIL notification right when it un-freezes.
Let me know what you think and if it should be merged with a different topic, didn't see anything about it un-freezing when it was frozen or audio still playing.

Please refer to this thread for a fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428133
The fix from the thread above helps with many touchscreen issues including freezes.
At least it helped with mine. I was experiencing freezes and so called "sticky touches" (like when you short tap on something and the device interprets it as a tap and hold).
My device came with pre-Q and went through three OTA updates. After reflashing with factory R image minus wiping data (remove -w from flash-all.bat file) and with ts10 all appear to be better so far. Modern Combat 3 still randomly closes but it could be Gameloft's crappy coding. Need to run it for a few more days to confirm but reflashing factory R image with ts10 offer the best experience so far.
Mine does too now in addition to the already random reboot. The freezing happens when I try to input text on the keyboard.

Serious issues with s8 oreo update smg950u1

I've been having some very strange issues since oreo and Samsung won't help. I have the unlocked u1 variant straight from best buy. After oreo when I am watching a YouTube video and I t ety yo turn sideways my entire phone freezes and restarts after about 5 to 10 minutes of half black half gray screen. It also happens in pokemon go when doesn't support landscape mode. It happens in various other things too including the always on display. It will show my sideways. I've downloaded to most recent Odin and I was looking for the most recent update file to completely redo the update but I'm looking for guidance. Otherwise it's a stock phone so I want to be careful

Oneplus 6T software issues

Hello guys,
I bought my 6T a few days ago and have been noticing some annoying software issues:
1. When I unlock my phone it doesn't take me to the application I was using before I locked the screen; it takes me to the home screen.
2. The recent applications keep getting cleared even though I've turned the battery optimisation off.
3. In the lock screen when there's a notification, the ambient display shows the notification but touching on it doesn't turn the screen on. You have to hit the power button or unlock the phone in order to check notifications.
There a couple of other minor issues like apps crashing and then restarting that don't happen too often.
Just wanted to check if others are facing these issues as well and if someone has any solutions.
Those sounds like bugs in the OS, I say this since I'm experiencing the same issues on my OP6 running Open Beta 6 (based off OS 9.0.4 for the 6T).
Have you submitted a bug report on OnePlus feedback page? This way it will get the right people in front and get the issues resolved.

The device and oxygen Pie is pretty new so you gotta give it some time for software update.
Also do you have the tmo variant or the unlocked version?
Because the tmo variant has not gotten any software updates yet.

That's a fair point. I haven't done it yet, but I will. Thanks for suggesting it.

I have the unlocked version. You're right it's still pretty new and OnePlus might have jumped the gun a little bit in releasing this in an attempt to be there first OEM to push Pie. Let's hope they fix this in a future update.
I think I finally figured out why the recent apps get cleared. OnePlus has set the background app limit to 16 which is retarded. I remember it was the same on the OnePlus 3 as well. And of course you can't just modify the build.prop file to increase this limit.
It's things like this why we need root. I'm probably gonna have to do it soon if I don't find a way around this.

July update

New update
141.9 Mb
anyone tried it yet? any bugs or improvements??
No bugs.... Completed the update successfully just now..
Screen Rotation animation bug, nothing more
Successfully updated, no drastic changes or improvements at all. Overall experience & speed is pretty much the same as the previous update which means phone is pretty snappy.
There's just a little bug with screen rotation animation when rotating from horizontal to vertical which makes the bottom half of display to go black when doing so, but the rotation works normal.
Sadly there's no sign of camera2API or ARCore again! I'm gonna be pretty honest with you that I'm exhausted asking Xiaomi on their Twitter for those features. But maybe we can get a shot with a huge disappointing phone called " Xiaomi Mi A3" which many consider to be a downgrade. We'll see how that works.
The update wiped my google contacts of around 200. Thought it was a sync problem so I turned it off and on again,nothing happens. Deleted my google account and login again,same result. Then did a restore from google and guess what, restored just about 50 only. Checked my other device and the contacts weren't in sync for about a month,got around 200 contacts. After I sync from the old device,the number of contacts goes down to around 50. Had to save those contacts from individual chats on WhatsApp slowly. Guess this only happened to me. There's a rotation problem as the others had stated but no biggie.
Updated it successfully. Removed the sim card before restarting after installing the update (just to be safe, as pointed out in other blogs).
Can confirm that the screen rotation bug is there. The bottom half becomes black during rotation from horizontal to vertical, not at all bothering though.
Call logs bugs
i lost my called numbers after update
thank god that i have backup via G cloud
Anyone facing GPS issues? GPS not locking on correct position after June updated.. hoped July update would fix it..but nothing happened.
I've recently completed the update, the rotation lag is new... The emmc bus is still there, the phone crashes after moving a file (large size) crashes the UI and restarts the phone... Again the new bug is that I can't place conference calls, the UI hangs whole merging two calls and have to restart the phone.
After each update we're getting new and new bugs.
I know this is a long shot but can anyone with the July update check Widevine certification ? Is it still L3 or (hopefully) L1 ?
L3 unlocked BL
