Updated to Oreo and now my second screen is missing and every 2 seconds a pop up says Unfortunately the second screen has stopped working.
Is there any fix for this? Thanks!

Have you tried a factory reset? That or force stopping it and clearing data?
Hi,
I found (with hard effort, kinda, cus it kept popping up) that in App info there is two of them, Second Screen provider & Second Screen settings.
Tried to quickly force close & clear data both of them but the Second Screen is crashing still.
Plus, I don't want to factory reset.
You are going to have to factory reset that is the fix. You might be able to fix it with clearing caches and davlik in twrp if that is applicable. But chances are factory reset will be the only thing that fixes it.

And just in case I may have suddenly forgotten how to time the two buttons, I tried downloading Play store apps (they dont need root, which i don't have anyway) and they indicate that my screenshotting service isn't active.
I've never tried to turn it off, but I guess there is a chance that installing some other app might have messed it up? the only other thing i could think of is that i might have killed a crucial process when i first saw how you could force stop apps and processses.
I've tried rebooting. no luck.

why can't I solve this? no one really can help???
this is my first android phone and i really expected there to be more help with this kind of thing
Android pro tip.
If your having a software issue that you really can't seem to fix, perform a factory reset. If that doesn't fix it, you've got bigger problems.

i have a noob question
how does factory reset work?
will it erase my photos and apps?
If you have your google account synced and all your contacts on your google account, the reset will put it to defaults and as soon as you sign in will re download your apps and contacts. At least that's what I have had happen. Make a back up externally just in case

PRESS and HOLD the volume down and the power for a few seconds and it should take a screenshot (maybe your not holding it down long enough). factory reset deletes everything off your phone's internal memory.

Factory resets from recovery don't do that.

Like in title I can't access all those features and every time I click on any of them screen goes black for few seconds and can see time and signal bars flickering few times and then it gets back to home screen. This problem started just 2 days ago. I've revert phone to factory settings as well as re-installing firmware through Kies. Can anyone please help me with this problem? That's already second GT-9505i I've got since they were released.

that is very odd..
but have you tried doing a clean wipe (factory reset, data wipe, cache wipe, etc) and flashing another stock rom via Odin? I am sure it'll do the trick
Answered in wrong tread
Please help me or assist me with fixing my phone camera. I am a noob to Android phones but I'm technical (MCSE,CNE, A+,Security+)
Problem:
My SGH-I337 is about 2 months old. I applied the UCUAMF3 update OTA and afterwards everything worked fine but I found the camera program took a long time to load and would only display a black screen. I would have to restart the phone and launch the camera first to get it to work. Today I continued to have this problem but could never get the camera to work. It would only display a black screen and I can touch the screen and see the focus square and I can select settings and change mode but it takes a long time. There is about a 15-30 second delay after touching a menu option on the screen. At first I was able to switch to the rear (screen) camera and it would work but eventually that stopped. If I let it sit on the screen with the camera I will here a beep every so often but it may be because I've touched the buttons. Everything else works fine and I have no problem with anything except the camera app or any app that tries to use the camera like Amazon to scan a barcode or Facebook to take a picture. Usually these apps become unresponsive and then quit. A couple times I got a message that said Camera Failed.
Things I tried:
Rebooting and removing battery
booting in to safe mode and the problem is the exact same
Force stoping camera app and doing a clear data and clear cache
Wiping cache partition.
Phone:
AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337
Update applied OTA on approximately 7/10
JDQ39.I337UCUAMF3
also tried factory reset
I also did a factory reset and the camera will not work. Only a black screen.

I'm starting to think this may be a hardware problem..

fyi: I had exactly the same problem before the update.
After the update, the problem persisted. I did a hard reset after updating and the problem went away. The problem has not returned since.

when you say hard reset is that the same thing as restoring to factory defaults?

Yes. I went into Settings>Accounts>Backup and reset>Factory data reset
Hardware or Software
So far I've done the hard reset twice via the hardware buttons and once from the software. I'm still puzzled if this is hardware or software. I read that the july update had new camera firmware and that is when my problem started. But since everyone is not having this problem I would guess it isn't a widespread. Still not sure if it is hardware or software. Which I could re-apply that July ROM again to see if that fixes it.
Today I've the problem again, the notification simply doesn't work, it looks like the sensor is failing or something because I took it out of the pocket, as usual, and it doesn't light on... having to use the power button again...
It happened other time, some weeks after I bought it... complaining with the technical support on Moto Care, without results, so I've factory reset and wipe everything, and it works...
So, my first guess is that the cache of Active Notification may have some guilty on that, but I can't find the app from it to clean and check if it works. Does anyone knows what app is it?
I'm not gonna to factory reset this time, it simply not useful as a solution.
Does anyone have/had this problem?
Regards,
It happened to be one time. I found the solution to be simply disabling Active Notifications and then re-enabling it.

If a factory reset fixes it, it's probably not a sensor issue. It's possible that an app you've installed is interfering with it somehow - do you have any kind of root apps, or apps that play with system resources (like process managers/Greenify/etc.), or apps that control notifications?
I've noticed this on 4.4 a few times, as well as the lag on unlocking from AN a few times, too. Then again, I'm still on the leak, so that may have something to do with it.
Case maybe? Make sure the screen is clean. That proximity sensor is sensitive.
I think I found the problem.
The app management of what will show on active notification... don't active any of those that did not come checked after a reset. I did check some "Google's" for active notification.
Been a while since I had any issues with a phone I couldn't fix, but this is usually the best place to come when you run into something weird. Whilst I very much suspect that my phone has reached the end, there maybe something I can do if someone here has seen this before and managed to fix it.
A couple of days ago my phone started acting weird. Google assistant would start up for no apparent reason. Sometimes if I was in an app I'd just get a pop-up message but at other times I'd be taken to my home screen. The frequency came and went, but at it's worst it would happen every few seconds and would last for a good 5-10 minutes.
Thought it was just something weird in the OS so I booted back to the factory reset menu, wiped the cache and the system partition and started again. That didn't work. The start-iup process began with voice assistant turned on and every button click requiring activation and double clicking. I've since tried 5 factory resets.
I've disabled Google Assistant now and removed any updates. I've wiped out it's cache and tried all of the settings to make it stop so I no longer get Google Assisitant launching, but I do get something happening which asks me to "complete action using" and shows me the Samsung internet app, S Voice and Quick dial.
This is making me wonder if I'm looking at a hardware problem. I've switched everything off and given everything a good clean just in case one of the buttons has something stuck in it but that hasn't changed the situation.
If anyone here has any ideas or suggestions then they would be very gratefully received.
Thank you
Clean dalvik cache and update stock software through odin or custom rom may solve your problem
Thanks, will give it a go, forgot about the dalvik cache in the last reset so a good heads up. Will have to look into Odin, not had to use that in years.
