My S5 seems to be possessed. Its not rooted (cant anyway) no rom, have done absolutely nothing out of the ordinary to the phone other then install my normal apps from the play store.
Yet the phone is constantly, about 20x a day just going to the 'call logs' screen. I've rebooted the phone, logged in and with nothing open poof call logs. It seems to happen more when my fingers are hovering near but not touching the screen, is there some sort of air gesture for call logs that I dont know about ? Its never any other screen, its not like its accidentally hitting the 'back' button. It is starting to get a bit annoying ..
I notice mine opens apps "on its own". Not sure if its a gestures or hover thing or what. Usually gallery or phone, which are right next to each other on my home screen (all the way left). Must have something to do with it.

YES!!! My Rogers (SM-G900W8) does it too! I thought it was probably because I installed something, but, now that I see you have the issue !!
I posted this same question in the Q&A section regarding the call logs. Ultimately , I factory reset my phone. That fixed whatever the problem was. It was annoying the crap out of me.

I found the problem, it was my galaxy gear 2, every time it 'checked' my phone for new messages it would leave the phone on the call log. I turned off the option to open content on my phone from my gear and all is well now !
I have been experiencing this issue since upgrading to Lollipop on my S5. I too have a Galaxy Gear 2. I have just disabled 'Smart Relay' in the Gear App (which is what I presume you were referring to) and so far all seems good Thanks.
I got my new S6 edge about half a month ago. In the start the pedometer was counting steps perfectly, but then it suddenly stopped for no apparent reason. What it does now is that it does not count the steps properly, i go to the gym every day and run for about 20 mins but it only registers 200 steps. I have tried uninstalling and then re installing, removed updates and updated from google play but nothing seems to have worked.
If any one has faced this problem in the past and fixed it, then your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Check if your accelerometer works correctly… *#0*# then tap sensors… my first device was DOA with broken accelerometer (stuck X axis). S-health had the same symptoms as yours and camera app was stuck in landscape mode.

I tried using this code but it is not working. I go to the key pad and type *#0*# but nothing happens. I have no idea why this is so.
AFAIK, 'codes' aren't honored by the dialer on Verizon S6/Edge phones.
Anyone ever have one work?

Hello there,
I've just bought Infinix Hot 2 (1GB version) because it's the only Android One device in Egypt (Awesome specs for the price, too!)
I was wondering if the current Marshmallow build is stable enough for daily use/doesn't have major bugs and if you think I should upgrade right away or stay on Lollipop for a while?

do not upgrade it now until a stale one comes out
its good enough for daily use,just backup your data first or you will lose it when you update
Well... Apart from all the marshmallow goodies the phone sometimes behaves weirdly, like when you leave the phone for a while then push the power button the screen takes about 5 seconds to turn on, no idea why maybe it's not stable yet as others said and it has to do with doze but otherwise I haven't encountered any major bugs, crashes... Etc.
I hope they will roll a patch soon though, maybe you should wait until then if you're worried.

quite buggy update
My girlfriend updated her Hot 2, and there are quite a few issues
* As previoulsy stated, when the phone is in sleep mode, and when pressing the power button, it can take a few seconds for the screen to display the lock screen..
* When she wants to hang up a call, sometimes the screen stays black, sometimes the screen shows the hang up button, but it is not possible to click it, and she has to wait that the other side terminates the call
* caller name display does not work correctly, depending on how the caller's number is entered in contact list (with spaces between digits, and minus, etc....).
* when using to sim and configured "always ask" for sending SMS, it is not possible to send SMS anymore. When pressing the send button, an error message states that no prefered network is selected. SMS network must be forced in SIM menu
* contact list management is bad : merging seems to be broken, deleting duplicate entries prevents selecting remaining entries, and so on
I'm considering to rollback to 5.1, current bugs are very annoying and prevents correct usage of the phone, while it was working very well previously
Temporary fix for delay on screen light waking up
Hi, anyone who updated to marshmallow is facing the issue with the screen taking too long to awaken.
To fix that you can go to the play store and instal an app called wake lock.
Once you've installed it, select: PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK.
This seemed to solve the problem with the screen taking too long to wake up but it came at the cost of battery life. The battery drains a little quicker than regular.
This also fixes the issue with the screen not responding or coming back on after you make/receive a call.
The issue with the contact names not showing is annoying and I still haven't figured out how to fix that yet. Let's just hope Google fixes it soon.
Hope this helped.
guys , i am already on marshmallow but i got nw another update 836.6 mb
anyone got that update ?
Got the same update you are talking about. It's the monthly security patch for February. Came with some changes to the system like audio profiles and "do not disturb" when u swipe from the top of the screen and some other stuff. Try it out
Mine same
I used infinix hot 2 (2gb).. Laggy happened and freezing
I lost all of my data.. All my files... Everything. So pissed. But apparently, the files still take up all the space they took up. So my phone is still full.

I deleted all my contacts and re-imported them from a .vcf backup I had and they're working fine now!
I'm currently own infinix hot 2 2gb model with M installed in it. The cameras (rear-front) becomes dark when taking a video on apps (except default camera for sure). As also having the same problems above you guys have explained. Any one have camera bugs too? Why M released too soon for IH2 if it comes with tons of bugs? ?

Actually the files are not lost. They just in a folder which is hidden. You only see them when you root the phone... After rooting, just enable root explorer in a file manager like es explorer and u will see them..

I'm experiencing hangs or touch screen unresponsive, I think its the touch that stops responding unless you lock and unlock the phone.
I have three weeks with the phone and started yesterday right after a Factory Reset. Before that, it never happenes.
Today its better but still happen
Attach an image with the touch's firmware version
Has it happened to you?

same thing happens to me from time to time, i have the phone for 8 days now, it started maybe 3 days ago, screen unresponsiveness happened maybe 4 times to this date
temp fix for me was downloading Google GO files and using it to delete cache, it works for now, no screen freeze up to this point
I think is not the same issue, I refer to touch issue thats come unresponsive some times until you lock and unlock screen. Now I'm testing android P which have another firmware for the touch panel. I will report later if dont presents the issue.
I installed the preview of the Android P developer and used it for two days and after a day of use I had the same problem, very disappointing, I went back to version 8.1, I do not understand why this happened, I never hit it, threw it, nor nothing. I was very carefully with it.
Has this issue been fixed yet?
We have a few of these phones in our family and one of them is doing this sporadically, several times in a row and then it's fine for days.
I can't see a pattern as to when it happens though.
Short Question : any of you using the Nova Launcher? Ive got same problem but using the Nova Launcher since years. Yesterday i did a clean Nova Launcher (stable) install and not taking my Backup file... And my Problem with hanging (Touch panel not recognized often my Touch) seems gone. Dont know why but after testing a whole of things im trying the standard Launcher and it works better.. So i did a clean install of Nova.

I had a Novatek V7 version with firmware V1.017.20 with unresponsivness of the screen when laying and got it replaced. Now it's also Novatek, but with Firmware V1.017.16. what version of Android you have? I am using 8.1 Oreo. Does the android update change the firmware version of the screen?

Hi guys, do you guys Enable or Disable "Tap to wake" function? If not, try enable that function, maybe that help.
Same problem in my Nokia 5.1 Plus. automatically touched at top of time side and battery indicated area. and i cant open notification bar.
I turned ''Tap to Wake'' on and my screen has worked perfectly since then. So i think this is definetely bug, not HW problen.
has anyone managed to solve this? its diving me nuts since the past few weeks and i dont know what to do with it. I would try to fresh install the OS but if that does not fix it, ill loose everything (game saves and such) but dont fix it.
i noticed sometimes the screen does some kind of refresh and then it starts working again. But mostly i have to lock and unlock to get it working again.

The only thing that worked for me was returning the phone untill the screen was replaced.
Everything else I tried (reset, reinstall, change settings, ...) led to the same problems after a while.

Solution:
Go to Settings (if you're stuck in an app, use the button in your notification panel)
Go to 'System' (try tapping above the broken screen area)
Go to 'About this phone'
That should be all that has to be done! Do note: this fix isn't permanent. Let's hope Nokia fixes this.
Old thread:
Hello all!
When i woke up today and unlocked my phone (while an app is open) the bottom part (starting just above the nav-buttons) of my touchscreen just stops working.
I've had this problem a couple times (at most once per day) since updating from Oreo.
The solution to this problem seems to just to reboot the phone.. (This won't fix it permanently, sadly)
I'm asking if anyone else has this same problem, because i don't know the source of this problem.. (Maybe its because of the app not being P compatible?)
Thanks!
Hi, I have the same problem after the last update (september). Android Pie beta. Almost every morning i have to restart ..
Before the update was enough to just torn off/on the screen .
i don't have this problem on TA-1046 with Pie DP2-DP4.1 or Pie stable... maybe some incompatible apps? you use some for changing NavBar/Gesture area?
although i use XDA NavigationGesture what replace NavBar/Gesture with own, still not having problem, maybe you can try too this replacement, have many more function/settings that stock Pie gesture
for u its bottom touch screen is not working , but for me top of my touch screen isnt working .. and iam facing some serious problems after updating to pie . my phone restarts all of a sudden while charging , app crashes and more , hope hmd fixes this kind of issues in upcoming oct security patch update .

Issue with charging
I am having a charging issue. My phone usb and adapter is working fine with other phones. But when I connect my Nokia 7 Plus below 50%,My phone shows charging And when I tap the screen it doesn't charge. It occurs couple of time. And then It becomes normal and shows rapid charge after 55%. My charging port is fine when I connect it with my Pc usb port. some how the rapid charge doesn't respond. Does anyone have this problem?

What is real time for charge? Rapidcharging is disabled while you activated LCD
Yeah I'm facing similar issues, or did... I'm not sure... but it's been a non-issue for the past ~36 hours now. Here's to hoping it's not an issue any longer. I speculated it might be adaptive battery related somehow, so I tried rebooting my phone just before going to bed Sunday night, but my navbar still worked Monday morning, and this Tuesday it's still working in fact. I did this to test if it stopped working based on time since last reboot, or because some background process being killed due to adaptive battery/doze putting the phone to sleep. But based on my recent experience I think my hypothesis can be rejected. And I'm still not sure what caused it.

Same for me ta-1046, happened to me twice now. bottom part of screen stops reacting to touch. reboot fixes it.
Hmm... After playing around in the settings while having this problem active, for some reason, going to the phone info section just fixed it... I'm not sure if going there actually did that. needs more testing, I suppose.
+1 I use navigation gestures

Huh, I'll be damned. When my nav bar was frozen this morning I went into the "about phone" section in the menu, and, lo and behold, my nav bar sprang back to life instantly. Now it might still just be a coincident of course, but it's certainly interesting, and could potentially be a fix where you don't have to reboot.

Capture of
I managed to capture a video of the bounds of the touch-registration when the bottom 1,5 centimeter of the screen stops registering.
https://imgur.com/xrRB906
Same problem for me after upgrading a couple of days ago. Bottom of the screen (navbar and a bit more) is not accessible. Always happens after a night charging.
Going to the "About phone" menu fixes it. Thanks!
I have seen reports of people with other phones saying this is due to the setup wizard being active and preventing using the navigation bar. Tried some suggested adb commands without success. I will still try to disable the setup wizard app and report back.
IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!

This might help getting a quicker fix from Nokia.
Looks like the recent October patch still has this issue.
Would be nice if i can get a logcat this issue, but given this issue gets triggered after hours of inactivity, it would take a looong time to sift through the log.
Maybe there's a way to trigger it without waiting?
I can try logging when i do the "about phone" fix, will come back to this.
same isue here.. after chsrging at night nav bar bottom inch not responsive.. will try the phone info thing in the morning... is this software related ? will there be a patch??
