I done the oreo 8.o.o on my sm-g935f a few days ago and since it rebooted i can only use it if i keep the screen open, if the screen closes or i get a call or an sms it starts flashing like mad, i can't even get to clear cache or factory reset cos halfway through it reboots itself, if i keep the screen open i can use the net, make calls, play games, everything as normal but once the screen closes thats it the quick flashing starts and i have to turn it off, by rapidly hitting the red off icon as it shows then start the phone again and maybe get 10 minutes before someone calls or i have to put the phone down and it closes, i've no idea what to do its out of guarantee so i can't take it into Three either, thanks for any help.

Thanks for your reply, it looks like a refresh then, I've got nothing to lose, cheers.
Reboot first ?
I've just been reading in the Samsung forum about oreo updates and it's explaining about installing the ota straight away or how you can leave it till later etc, but in both explanations it said that when you select to install it your phone will reboot before starting the upgrade, is that right that it reboots first ? Because i know for a fact my s7 edge didn't reboot, i chose for doing it later because my battery was really low it was either 14 or 16% so i charged ìt up to about 90% then i used sd maid pro to clean out the crap then went and clicked install, and some message come up on the screen i can't remember what it said to be honest but then it went to installing, it DEFO didn't reboot first though, could that be what's caused the problems ? Thanks for any replies.

Hi guys, this is my first post here and I hope someone can help me please!!
I got my phone 5 weeks no problem till last night,
basically when I am in screen lock state and then go unlock, I keep getting this anoying WHITE screen which coveres the whole screen and only on the top in narrow blue band it say "wiedges setting" to get out of this, I have to press the return button (on the right ) and it goes away , this happens everytime I go to lock position (after it stays in that position for 5 minutes or more),
Also I noticed even DURING my call after about 5-6 minutes through out the call this white screen appears and it ALWAYS goes away as soon as I press the return button.!!
so please tell me how to get ride of this?
if not, how to reset the phone without losing my apps and data? if I do factory reset is my apps will stay in andriod market, or do they also get deleted?
my phone IS NOT rooted phone.
what can I do, this is really killing me, as its everytimes into my face.
Please help me...
thanks so much
ps. is there any way that I can reset the phone to previously saved version! (3 days ago lets say),?
Sounds to me like an app causing this, as it seems it wants you to alter some settings.
Can you think of any apps you have installed since it started happening? It is usually always the fault of a dodgy app when you have issues.
I am not sure you can restore the phone back 3 days if you havent already done a backup.
Restoring your phone won't necessarily help as you will probably end up re installing the bad app once you are done.
I would try taking off some apps that you installed recently or anything you think might affect the screen.
Good luck and i'm sure someone else will be able to help
Biff.
edit: if it only started last night, is there anything you've installed just before it happened?
Posting here to see if more exposure would help.
Was wondering if anyone has run into this problem?
The phone was fine, rooted and everything, for a month give or take. Then all of a sudden, today, it started acting weird.
It was fine in the morning and everything, was able to use wifi, check emails, and stuff.
Then BAM, I tried to make a call, it didn't go through for the first 20 seconds or so. Then connected and a message kept popping up saying Phone is stopped or something during and after the call.
So, I restarted the phone. It restarted fine and everything, got past the 2 Samsung screens. Then hit the T-Mobile screen. and has been stuck on the T-Mobile screen for ~30 minutes now and just keeps vibrating.
It's getting quite hot, both front and back.
Any advice? Stupid Samsung making this a closed system so can't pull out the battery.
Can't even turn the phone off, only able to get to Download screen.
Weird problem.
Is there any way to pull the data and stuff off the phone at this point?
I'm thinking of going the factory reset route and do that to see what happens and see if it will fix the problem. It would probably not retain root am I correct and I would have to re-root again?
I could get into download mode and recovery fine.
I have had this issue on both at&t and t-mobile firmwares, but only while rooted.
Best thing to do is to re-flash the stock firmware again(or go to a different firmware if you'd like) but this is the reason I'm currently avoiding root. It soft bricks about a month in and is an easy fix but its annoying.
Was wondering about that too (flashing the stock firmware). But, will it wipe everything I had on there? Will any of my txt msg's and photo's or summat be lost to the ether?
Stupid question, I know, but had to be asked.
Thinking about flashing stock firmware and rooting agin for the sake of being able to do it again lol.
Well, if you flash stock, it does factory reset. That's why I have backups lol all I have to do is log into my Google account and everything is there.

Did you have security log or security update disabled as that updates and causes weird after affects.

These two threads describe exactly your issue and solution - http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/help/g930t-updates-unroots-overnight-t3426636 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/help/rooted-weeks-rebooted-stuck-t-mobile-t3425814
I had the same problem, twice I had a rooted device totally lock up and had to re-do everything. But after disabling the security updates as advised, I'm currently going on two months without a problem.
Hope this helps!
Okay, so yesterday I was out with friends and my battery was low.When I had to use my phone, shortly after the battery died.I came home, started charging it and when it had about 20% i turned it on.Ever since that, my phone is constantly switchung between my lockscreen and stock homescreen, with me not being able to do anything(go to the settings or something like that).So I hard reset the phone and when it booted up and I was going through the basics, one message popped up every few seconds: "The UI has stopped working." So it was difficult to go through all that stuff, but I made it only to see the problem is still the same.I also tried to take it apart and blow the dust off the MB hoping it would work, but unsuccesfully.I also have to mention the screen is cracked very bad and you can see inside the phone down where the LG logo is, but the phone was working absolutely fine in that state for over a year.Any help? :crying:
I'm guessing that you didn't have a lot of storage left on your phone, right ? A similar thing once happened to me, rebooted while storage was completely full. Refused to work until I reflashed it.

So I should do a CSE flash, right?I'm flashing my phone for the first time now and waiting to complete the download of the .kdz file(slow internet )
and i am not talking about the 1-2 second wake time i see mentioned elsewhere online, talking 20 or 25 seconds. Had my galaxy s7 edge for a month, and about 2 days in it started lagging to wake up and has progressively gotten worse.
When i get a text, i hear it beep, i look at the phone and have to wait 20 seconds before the screen lights up and shows the notification. If i pick my phone up and hit the button, I have literally counted to 25sec before it come to life. Very annoying when you are trying to take a photo of something, or have to look something up.
I have turned off all animations, disabled SVoice, no help.. (i just hit it and counted 'one thousand, two thousand, three thousand, four thousand, five... and it came on).
Plus if you hit power button 2x, it will wait 5 seconds, and then come on, and immediately turn off. when i hit power again, it will come on within a second.
Anyone else having this issue? its rather annoying.
- no hacks, no roms, nothing special, very few apps.
ALSO Auto brightness won't work and Direct call...smart alert and all the other s7 features
Already made a reset and called samsung services but none is fixed the problem
Update: Yesterday i don't know how it's fixed and the phone worked fine but when i played music and turned volume up and locked the phone it starts lagging
Help me out with this please
Mine too...... following

hmmmmmm well there are two options. you can hope that it`s a software issue and do a hard wipe of everything by flashing new software with odin or maybe you could try a custom rom because they tend to work better than the actually software made by the carriers, and if that doesnt work then it is for sure a hardware issue in which well no bueno
any other help please
remove your micro sd card and phone will be fine
i don't have an SD card and i've never put one in it
Have you tried clearing the phone cache
Factory reset and delete cache in recovery , if it didnt fixed then last option is reflashing original rom by odin , and if still these issues persist , then its a hardware issue for sure. If you are still in warranty , send it in for a repair or replacement.
all the sensors are not working now exept fingerprint ... I cleared the cache but i didn't reflashed the phone with odin
How's this issue? Was it fixed?
I have the same issue... it states to happen after I dropped my phone in water...
Hey guys, I have had my Note 4 for about 3 years now and it has never done me wrong. However, things have taken a turn for the worse... I started noticing a few days ago that it was slowing down on me, I mean, really slowing down. Big lag times when it comes to swiping to open the screen, or changing between apps, and the occasional self-shut down when the battery got down to about 15-20%. I had been putting off doing a self-update for a while, and when I finally had time to do one tonight, in hopes of cleaning it up, it is now lying on its death bed
I do not think the update ever finished (my phone is not rooted) but I was desperate enough to even do a factory reset and that has not fixed the issue.
Here are the symptoms:
As I go to boot the phone, I get past the Samsung Note logo and it looks like it is about to load properly, but then I get a popup that says "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" I hit ok and it keeps popping up again. I can't bypass it.. Then after I get passed that for a split second, another popup comes up that says "unfortunately system UI has stopped" It prevents me from getting to the home screen, in fact the screen behind it is black.
I have tried the following:
Clearing the cache partition from the recovery screen
I have done numerous hard restarts
I have gone through with a factory restart
That is where I have left off, and lost most hope, was with the factory restart. Now when I turn it on, I get past the logos and I can see in the background the page you would get as if it was a brand new phone (it says "Welcome! Preparing you device for first time use.." etc. But I can't do anything about it because I am still getting the same two popups that prevent me from doing absolutely everything!!!)
I have read about this happening and people seem to be able to fix this by accessing certain app setting and either resetting them, or clearing their cache. However, that is not an option for me because I can't get that far. I think something must have went wrong during the update...
Please help with any advice you can think of. I have been putting off rooting this phone pretty much because I was afraid of royally f****** it up, but at this point I am willing to try anything.
Thanks,
Eric
Hey guys, does anyone have any suggestions for my issue?? I am about to go out and buy a new phone, I have no idea what I can do to fix this. I have rooted it using Odin, but the popups are still occurring. I can't get the popups to stop, and they are preventing me from doing absolutely everything.
Is there anyway I can get it to go back to complete scratch? Again, I have done a factory reset, cleared the cache, rooted using Odin. I have done everything I can think of/what I have read I can do. I am willing to try anything at this point.
UPDATE: At this point my phone is on, and the only error message/popup I am getting is "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." Behind that popup is a blank, black screen. The only option I have is to click ok, and the screen remains black.
Temporary solution that might work- Try logging in safe mode: Switch off the phone. Power it on and as soon as Samsung logo appears, release the power button and press and hold the volume down button. Release button when you see Safe Mode on the lower left corner of the screen. Try uninstalling all user apps in safe mode. To get back to the normal mode you can drag down from notification and disable safe mode.
You could also download the latest software for your model from samfirm and flash it via odin after factory reset. Could be a permanent solution.
why you just flash last frimware from sammobile,it will solve all your problems
SOLVED!!!
Alright guys, I was able to solve my problem, all thanks to this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/stock-tar-odin-flashable-t3250864
I had already tried flashing a fresh stock rom, but to no prevail. I saw this thread and thought, hey why not give it a shot, and bingo! After downloading the .tar file for marshmellow and launching it through odin, she was good as new! So if anyone seems to have a problem with the system ui or the process phone.android popup, I suggest that thread.
