Smart view choppy - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Since the oreo update I have problems with smart view when I cast my screen to my smart TV. When the phone screen is on there's no problem but when screen is off the signal becomes unstable losing sound and getting a choppy image. Also now i can't use the phone when casting the screen, on nougat the phone was able to split the screen in order to cast and use another app at the same time. Now on oreo I have this problems, any idea?
Thanks in advance.

I'm having precisely the same issues, a factory reset did not help... did you find anything yet?

I was thinking on a factory reset too... impossible to set smart view on priority or something like that, really don't know how to do. Tried with several browsers and looks that just go fine with video stock and Google movies, did you try with those app?

No I didn't I will on the weekend tho... I have howver tried several appslike netflix, default video app with recorded videos, SMPC and I even installed the periscope app to give live streaming a go (soccer games, yeah!) all of them got choppy after the screen goes dark and maybe 2 -3 mins after the screen sharing starts.
perhaps we'll have to wait on update for those apps instead of blamming it on the update alone?

Me too.. after update to oreo .. huft

So it seems that is a oreo problem... I have to say that the problem is less frequent and there is some occasions when idon't have any problem. Really don't do anything specific, just clean cache on stock recovery.

We have to send a report with Samsung members to MAYBE, and just MAYBE, they could say: ah ja, there is a problem annoying our beloved users; lets fix it right now! :silly:

[Q] YouTube Glitch Since Lollipop 5.1 Update

Hi so i asked over at the Motorola owners forums but nobody over there could resolve my issue. This is what's going on: So when I go to watch videos on the YouTube app on WiFi or Mobile data the video will start to play and then like 10 seconds in the video will stop and it will say "problem loading video tap to retry" so I tap to retry sometimes it works but most of the time it just keeps loading and never does anything. Once that happens all other streaming media apps don't work like Spotify won't play music as well as local mp3's that I have on my device. After a reboot then I'm able to play every thing again until it happens again. I've done a cache wipe and a factory reset without automatic backup/restore on as well as turning awesome player off in the developers options. And that has not changed anything. Any ideas on what to do? Also i'm not rooted i'm on stock firmware.

This is related to the sound module/driver and no known fix is available afaik.Probably Motorola will issue a patch for this along with several other issues.

Third N910T replacement; something stealing app focus

I'm about to receive my third warranty replacement for the numerous problems I had with my Note4. Most of the problems are fixable (camera, GPS, etc), but one problem is bad and I don't see a simple solution.
Something seems to be intermittently stealing the focus from my app (I believe). So, if I'm watching YouTube, it randomly pauses because it thinks I've switched apps. If I'm recording video, it randomly stops, because it thinks I've switched apps. If I'm playing a video game, it pauses while I'm playing until 'I return'. If I go to the app-switcher, sometimes it closes randomly before I select which running app to switch to.
I actually bought a new SD card (64GB wasn't really doing it for me, anymore, anyways) but the problem persists. The phone does seem better behaved before all my apps repopulate (although there's not much to do on the phone before the apps are back), so I suspect it's an app, but I haven't heard anything about this sort of problem on any website or forum.
Lastly, the problem may have started around the time of the StageFright patch in August, but a lot of apps also updated around that time.
I'm stock 5.0.1 without root (maybe in the future), although I always disable T-Mobile bloatware like DT_Ignite. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks - And sorry for the late reply (I don't remember getting a notification about a reply). I'll try your suggestion if the problem comes back.
It appears to be a problem with the Samsung Techwin app for their video cameras. For others, the app would just randomly pop-up during phone use, making the problem easier to diagnose. For me, it would just steal focus.
I uninstalled the app & things are back to normal.

Mine had issues when I first upgraded to nougat with mirroring but it magically fixed itself lol
Only thing I've noticed is even with Auto rightness off the screen still dims itself ever so slightly when you leave a lighted area and go to a darker area, I'm assuming it's the blue light filter....Even though I have that option turned off.

Only issue I've had is a daily "Android System has stopped" popup, but it's pretty uneventful. Nothing crashes, phone doesn't restart. Just hit "ok" and go about my business. I assume it's related to the disabled package list I've carried over from MM.

Hi Norbarb,
Last weekend, I was on QA4 then I Odin'd back to APK1 and took the Official ATT OTA update to Nougat 7.0.
I just tested screen mirroring and it worked without any problems. Sorry, I don't have a Samsung BluRay to test.
Now the issue that I've been having is reboots. In the beginning, when I was first on N7.0 I had no problems whatsoever for a few days.
- On Feb. 20th, I kept getting a message that one of my apps unexpectedly closed. Now this app is old and wasn't even supported on MM (it's called Webcams widget) but it had worked flawlessly on MM and Nougat QA4.
- Then on Feb. 21st I had a couple of reboots happen, I went into a solid Bootloop that started in the afternoon and kept rebooting for around 10-15 times! It stopped long enough for me to actually Power Off my S7E down in the normal manner and I left it that way for around 5 minutes.
- I searched for solutions and finally ended up clearing the Cache Partition like this:
Wipe cache partition
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the Volume Up key, Home key, and Power key at the same time.
When the phone powers on, the Android System Recovery screen appears approx. 30 seconds later.
Release all of the keys.
Press the Volume down key to highlight "wipe cache partition."
Press the Power key to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight “yes” and press thePower key to select.
When the wipe cache partition is complete, “Reboot system now” is highlighted.
Press the Power key to restart the device.
My phone went without a reboot for almost 2 days then yesterday afternoon I had one single reboot. My next test (if needed) will be to clear each app cache/data. Unless it gets really, really bad again, only then will I resort to a complete reset.
The only difference between using my phone on the official QA6 and the sideloaded QA4 is that I had turned off auto-updating for my Play Store apps when on QA4 (and earlier). I had a lot of updates occur when updating to QA6.
Doing more research today, I found an article talking about some common Nougat problems and possible fixes here.

Did you preform factory reset ?
It help me with lot of problems. Just make backup using Samsung Cloud and after factory reset using restore from Samsung cloud you will have 97% all of you settings and apps back. It is wort to do it.
Actually I just took a guess and re-enabled com.qualcomm.atfwd. I don't have a wifi display BUT I haven't gotten "Android System has stopped" since I turned it back on. This was never an issue on MM. If it happens again I'll try a few more packages related to Android System before a factory reset.

What App did you use to disable it?

Package Disabler Pro. It's the only one that currently works in Nougat as far as I know.
I switched to OnePlus 3T today, and here are few observations guys...
Compared to Nougat on S7E... different level of speed and responsiveness, way different.
I used CM and AOSP roms in the past, on different phones, I know they fast, but this... speed demon out of the box, with MM or Nougat.
Feel bad for leaving S7E forums, but believe me guys, it is a flagship killer indeed. Unbelievable.
I will go back to Sammy with S8 only if they will be able to keep up with this kind of speed, plain and simple.
I was hoping with every generation that Sammy will get rid of touchwiz lags... new phones and new chipsets were piling up, but it never changed, unfortunately.
Touch wiz nougat is a bloody mess next to 3T nougat...
Yes yes, I know. But I never used edge panels... or OOD that much.
Peace out guys!

Samsung Cloud? Can't find in app store.
[EDIT]
I'm guessing it's part of Nougat 7.0?

It's not available in 6.0.1 I'm currently on.

I have this issue also, it keeps dimming constantly, and my blind self can't read it without manually turning up the brightness.

Hello. My first post here. I have been lurking & reading for years.
I have a few of the minor issues that others have, like the colors will be washed out sometimes, pull down notifications are a bit harder to read. My main issue with this update is that my recently used apps will randomly close when the screen is locked & only keep 4 or 5 open. I want them to all stay open & I close the ones I no longer need. That is why I got this phone in the first place. Now apps that I need to go back to later & continue working are gone. Very annoying. I assumed it was a new performance setting activated without any explanation of how it will affect normal usage. I can't find where to change that particular setting, if it is changeable at all now.

Thanks for the tip. I tried that a few times. No change. Even added frequently used apps to be unmonitored. It is still closing all recently used apps, except the last 4 or 5. I just now turned off the app power monitor completely. It didn't change the estimated battery life hardly any. We'll see how that goes for a while.

Screen flickering after pie update

Has anyone noticed that apps such as YouTube, Snapchat and the chat heads for Facebook messenger flicker black? It sometimes affects the whole screen sometimes only part of it.
This never happened before pie and I don't want to factory reset to see if this fixes it and waste my time...

I thought the November service pack did resolve this issue.. Atleast for me.
Either way, factory reset seems a good option to proceed. I know it's a pain but I believe probably everyone must have done it after getting updates from Nokia.
In case you plan to do, better do reset from recovery rather than factory reset.

[BUG] Built In Screen Recorder "Stuck"

So the other morning I was doing some screen recording for one of my games and I noticed when I finished that I could not get the screen recorder to turn off. so it was at this point that I restarted the phone and when I turned it back on it was stuck on. It wasn't actually recording anything per say however the little white dot that you get for inputs was all over the screen you couldn't get rid of it and you were unable to turn the recorder on or off though red magic time. Now I've only seen one other person have this bug and if you tried to go through red magic for any kind of support to this point than you know why I'm posting here instead of messaging them.
due to issues with the XDA app I was unable to directly upload video of the air so I uploaded it to my YouTube channel so that you guys can be the exact problem I'm having if you haven't experienced it yourself. I've also uploaded a screenshot of the only other person I've seen having this problem statement about it.
Error video:
as someone who uses the built-in screen recorder for most of my YouTube video gameplay I'd really appreciate some help in getting this back up and working I've tried clearing the cache I've tried clearing the memory and have had no luck so far.
In case anybody is wondering I have the red magic 3 global version 12 GB 256 GB storage model.

Excuse the typos please I used voice to text for this lol
I have the solution but it's too lengthy and I'm busy with some college works. I'll post the solution tomorrow.
I see a lot of South and Southeast Asian users asking for support about getting mobile screen recording sorted out. Are you people who stream on Twitch or some other native service who are trying to make it a career?

Use the backup settings in phones settings. I started uploading all my recordings to photos and everything else to drive. Still no word on a solution so today I think I'll do the reset

Alright
So I went ahead just did the reset today guys, fixed the issue for now, and got me a lot more storage space hahaha. So back your photos videos and recordings up to Google drive or the photos app back up your contacts and messages and app data through the backup option in settings and you should be good to go in terms of saving data.
