Bad experience after update to Android 12 - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

Hi All,
So couple months ago I upgraded my Galaxy S10+ (SM-G975F/DS) to Android 12, fully official no roots and I've been having the worst experience and I have no idea why this happens.
So my problem is the following:
Like 8 out of 10 times when I unlock my phone and would like to go the the apps menu with a swipe up on the home screen it doesn't show any apps just a blank blurred screen with the search bar on top. Also some icons are missing from apps, only the associated colors are present.
Please find a screen recording attached showing the problem.
This happens to me after the Android 12 update.
Do you have any tips / suggestions on how to resolve this?
So far my phone is in good conditions nothing extraordinary with it though.
Best,
Henry

Try to wipe cache. If that doesn't work, try a factory reset.

Phone keypad auto close.

Hi guys,
I used several roms lately Juwe and jingereal JVQ.
In all roms I used the phone dialer application self exit to launcher when I push 4 or 5 numbers.
Anyone experience such weird behavior?
Any help?
Thank you
Andrea
i've had a similar issue with the keypad as well and a few times when I have opened clicked the call log tab; both would just close and bring me back to desktop/homescreen...not sure why either. I've also had a few dropped calls (tried both KC1 and KG3 modems)
edit: other than root, I'm on stock JVQ with KC1/KG3 modem
i'm beginning to wonder if this has to do with the launcher i'm using as I've only recently started to use GoLauncher (used to use LauncherPro)
update: nope...doesn't seem to have to do with the launcher
This is happening to me now on JVS (found this with search). Phone just closes, no force close dialog it just kicks back to home screen.
I think I solved it!
Used Titanium Backup (f*** is there anything that program can't do? cleaning dalvik cache with it also fixes android OS drain!) to wipe data from Phone app (after backing it up first just in case).
Tested it out about 10 times opening it, switching tabs, dialing numbers..before it would've quit 8 of 10 times but now not a problem.

cleaning dalvik eh?...i'll try that later.
Yes I forgot who put me on to that but it has worked all 3 times that I have tried it after a flash to kill android os drain, twice on 2.3.3 and lastly on 2.3.5. Do it and then restart.

I must give u a big Thanks!
This is a very annoying problem and it seems to be quite random that I originally did not think that I can find the solution when I searched this issue in google.
Thank you and this solved my issue!
*EDIT*
I just found that I have this issue in my Whatsapp as well. When I browse the contact list in Whatsapp, when i scroll down the list to about 1/3 what's app will close automatically...... Should I erase the data of Whatsapp as well?

Yep tap on Phone in the app list in Titanium and hit 'wipe data'.
For me, the problem disappears if I simply reboot phone.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
well i have found PhoneUtil and PhoneSetupWizard... i think i should wipe data for the first one...

Surround shot not saving

Hi!
I am trying the surround shot camera feature. If i am going to take partial shots, it will save.
But if i complete the whole 360 deg angles, it will not save. It will just say "Processing..." then goes away.
I can't find a trace in the gallery. Only the partials.
Can someone try this and verify?
Im using SM-N9005 - XXUBMI7 - Stock - Unrooted.
Thanks!

yes, it stored in the gallery.
I fixed it by clearing the cache in stock recovery...

Can you tell me how you did that?
I have this problem too. Irritating!
(I was just showing off to the whole office and when it finished nothing saved. )
I also have the same problem with my "1 day" Samsung Note 3, i have cleared the camera cache but it won't work
Can it be because i don't use a SD Card?

Just to update. I did a factory reset and it works. Sucks but I don't want to have to deal with it again.
Ok, i managed to make it work (at least once, since i haven't tried it anymore since)
What i did was:
1. Clear cache (again)
2. Start making a surround shot, but only a few pictures then save (finish it before its 100% done) then it completed this one.
3. This time i made a full cycle (all frames) and it completed it as it should.
So now i hope it works as it should for me.

Doesn't make much sense, but try installing Flipboard again;
Also check if are there any update related with google apps; :cyclops:
I would try to reinstall it all, and clean the cache and data of the related app and facebook too.
Good luck and let me know what happen. :good::fingers-crossed:

Thank you,but I've been trying that several times, and I'm thinking now to do a factory reset,do you think it will help?

I'm pretty sure a factory reset will do it. You might just "dirty flash" your rom again, so you wont lose anything in the internal sd.
Good luck, and hope this will do it! :fingers-crossed:

Huge font only in phone contacts

Hey people of XDA,
Since yesterday i suddenly have a huge! font in my phone app but only on the contacts Tab, nowhere else....
Does someone faced a similar issue and has an idea on how to change back to normal without factory reset?
Already tried to force stop and clear caches of contacts, contacts storage, and all 3 phone apps under Settings>>apps but that did not help.
Thx in advance and have a better day than me
Same here, try to use volume key and even clear data and cache but doesn't work for me

Yeah didn't work for me either. Decided to do a factory reset now
Uninstalling substratum overlays fixed it for me
Do a factory reset (I know, it will erase your data) and see if the issue will persist.

Facebook crash on Android P

Every time I click on the comment button of a post the Facebook app crashes. Anyone else with the same issue?
With as crappy as the coding on Facebooks app is who knows. I have not seen this and I am on 9
Hmm, discouraging. I've cleared cache, deleted data, uninstalled and installed the app to no avail.
I am on totally stock unrooted 9
I am having similar lockups on multiple apps. Stock-unrooted aug 6 build of P and I tried a full device reset.
Not seeing any app issues same release of P ...hmm have you done a cache clear on the device? Meaning the os not indevidual apps.

I get exactly the same thing on my stock Pixel 2 XL since upgrading to Pie. However, it works fine on a Pixel 1.
I've tried uninstalling FB and re-installing and no joy.
The Facebook Lite app works ok, but that's garbage and doesn't have all the functionality I need.

Being out of the scene for a while, how do you delete the dalvic cache... ie how do you put the PH-1 in recovery, and do you have the delete cache in stock recovery?
Edit : I did put the phone in recovery mode but, as I expected, the stock recovery image does not have the delete cache option like a custom recovery. Hmm surprised to read that not even a factory reset solved the issue.
I've never used the FB app. Who knows what it is doing when you aren't using it, even if it is closed/stopped.
Better way...open your browser, instead of going to www.facebook.com, go to www.m.facebook.com which
loads the mobile version, and in your browser settings, you can always use the desktop version if needed.

No problem here, all good.
And just like that, it fixed by itself. I did not update the App, nor anything else....... mistery of technology!

More likely an issue with your Facebook account. Facebook has AI doing code corrections all the time in the background. They also sometimes fubar stuff and then correct it a couple of days later. This has happened to my account more than once.
Mystery of Technology... LOL, no, more like Bugs of Technology, and Pie just came out, so expect plenty of them until it matures a bit...
