[Q] Auto Clicking

Hi Guys,
This issue has been really p*****g me off over the last two days... so, would reapply appreciate any help on this...
Yesterday or day before, I was just scrolling through the menus of the phone and decided to do a horizontal calibration (i've never done this since the getting the phone about two months back).
Settings > Display > Horizontal Calibration
And ever since I did the calibration, the screen has been really screwing up with me. Basically, what happens is that, a certain area of the screen gets automatically clicked!! This happens to a specific area of the screen. For example, when I get to the home screen from the app drawer, the widget that I normally have in this area gets clicked on for no apparent reason, and then I have to hit the back key to get back to the home screen. This happens about 5 times and then seems to go away for a while. However, it happens all over again when I use the phone after a little while.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In the attached screen capture of my home screen, I have highlighted the area of the screen where this happens in red. This happens not only from the home screen, but from within any open app as well.... For example, when I view the "my apps" section in the Android Market app, the app that happens to be listed in the above area get automatically selected!!!
I have re-calibrated the screen, re-started the phone and the only thing I've left to do is a hard reset. I'm not too keen on doing this as I don't fancy having to re-install 70+ apps all over again!!
Have any of you guys encountered anything like this ?
Would really really appreciate any help on this as this is really flipping me over!!
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,

anyone......?
cmon, am I da first one on XDA to experience this issue?

[Q] Auto Clicking - Sorted
ah! no replied at all!!!
neways, finally got this sorted by having the screen replaced!! luckily the phone is still under warranty... otherwise it would hav cost me around 250$ to get it done apparently (according to the service center guy who did it)!!
tried hard resetting, data+cache wipe and even flashed with a different ROM (darky's).... but nothing worked.... so, finally took it to the service center... luckily those people didn't notice that the phone has been rooted and all that plus, got a gud rappo with one of the technicians over there, so got it back the next day as well....
cheers.....

Others have reported similar issues that sometimes go away with a reflash of the ROM you are using. If that doesn't work try a different ROM (or more likely a different Kernel)

try this
Go to setting - applications - manage application - All - samsung keypad - clear data
Setting - language n keyboard - samsung keypad - Reset all setting (last option)
Hope should work

Try to use other Key Boards on Market..
Try Clearing Data of Stock Samsung Keyboard
i had problem too with Stock key board.. its process consumed around 100MB of RAM
i cleaned data and it came down to 20-25MB
ALSO TRY TO TURN OFF CHARACTER PREVIEW... I got my problem solved with this

thank you
Thank you very much guys ~ !

mine something similar to yours. but mine just hang all of the sudden. I'm like typing typing and it suddenly BOOM ! HANG ~! and mine hang quite often. But nowadays i found a solution, whenever it hang/ i can't type anything. I'll just have to leave it there for 1 min or 2 mins and then it will be back to normal, or i can just keep on spam any key until it appears on the screen

Galaxy Note 8 pop up ads

Beginning this morning I started receiving full screen pop up ads every 60 seconds. Its been continuous for the last 6 hours. They pop up regardless of any ap I may be using at the time. A few ad examples are attached. My Note 8 is Model SM-950U1, version 4.4.78

Factory reset

I was having similar issue some days back. Please go to settings>Apps and check if there is any application installed at the end of list with no name. Uninstall that one and see if that fixes your problem.

An app u recently installed.. Or visited.. It happened to me.. I l
Cleaned uo history in browser and went through apps

Solved
In my case it was a Call Recorder that I downloaded yesterday. I didn't like it so I uninstalled it about an hour later. However, it seems to have left one program behind, called Phone Services. I uninstalled it today and at the beginning of the uninstall, I got an error message that warned phone services was needed by call recorder. All was well after I uninstalled phone services. Thanks for all the inputs. I appreciate them.

Good you could find the culprit

I have helped people with this before and had a few of these on my note. First, diagnostics.
1. Hold down your power button to bring up your power menu.
2. Hold down on the Power Off icon and it will prompt you to restart your phone in safe mode. Do so and see if the problem goes away.
3-A. If it persists, then you may need to go to your samsung internet browser and clear out all website data.
3-B if the problem stops. Then its a 3rd party app and I would need more information to help you track it down. PM me with your results or questions.

Hello Shadow Assassin, Please see my post #5 describing what I found. I sure do thank you for the steps you outlined above and will file them away. Good stuff.

Help! Weird Nova Launcher "widget" on home screen - can't get rid of it.

So I was playing around with some widgets a couple weeks ago and somehow got this Nova "thing" on the side of my screen and can't figure out how to remove it. Seems it's always right in the way, lol. Screenshot below, but a few points:
a.) It's on every page of launcher home screen
b.) I can drag it and keep it anywhere vertically on the side of screen
c.) I can drag it to the other side of the screen but not drop it anywhere in between.
Hope someone can help me here, I feel pretty stupid on this one, thanks!

Usually you can drag any widget all the way to the top and a "remove" X will appear to drop it on. If long pressing doesn't give a menu option to remove or delete I would look at my backups. Even if your backup is weeks or months old, restoring it will get rid of the widget and you can quickly arrange things the way they were before. If you don't have any backups, make one and uninstall Nova. Then reinstall and restore to see if the widget is gone.

Ah, good point about the backups, I'll check to see if I have any - I may have some on my cloud drive that I backed up after reset as well. I had looked for the droppable to delete it but wasn't there, was kinda hellbent on figuring out what exactly it is or is supposed to do but I'm just happy to get rid of it at this point. Thanks for the help!

Ever solve this? I have same issue

I have no idea why no one has responded to this but it's actually quite simple go into settings then go to accessibility then choose Nova launcher and you'll see the option to turn off Nova launcher shortcut

Split Screen to Split Top

Please bear with me if this seems like the dumbest post in the world.
Ok, so right up until a few weeks ago, i loved the split screen feature on my phone. It was as easy as hitting the square button on the bottom, choosing split screen on one app, app folds itself up creating a space below, and then selecting another app to share the screen with. Easy peezee. Could have a video playing in VLC while perusing rss feeds in Newsfold, either on top of one another in portrait mode or side by side in landscape etc. Even my long dead grandmama could do this.
Fast forward to one day last month, i download some usual pixel update prompted by phone, only to discover my oft used split screen is now no more, but now "split top". It doesn't split the screen like it used to do, and i can't figure out how this split top thing is supposed to work. Plus it always says "Pixel Launcher keeps stopping" after several attempts to use the split top function, which is indicating that Pixel Launcher has crashed. But i din't use Pixel Launcher or have it as my default, i've always used Nova Launcher.
Basically i was doing just fine until whatever this update (which i am assuming is 12L) that has ruined split screen for me.
Is there a way to go back to the old split screen way? Or, how the heck do you split screen with this "split top"? I searched around the web and can't seem to find a solution.
I'm really not enjoying my device or being as productive as i used to be.

Hello @LordLugard I just registered to reply here.
After wasting so much time trying to fix this bug on my end, and several factory resets where it didn't fail at the beginning but then it eventually did, I found the solution on another post of a different forum:
-Turn ON system animations.
That's it. That's how it got solved. If you turn them off, the new split screen doesn't work at all. I'm afraid this must be an Android 12.1 bug because I had the exact same bug in a Poco F2 Pro with Lineage 19.1 and Trebuchet as launcher, so it's not phone model specific, not ROM specific, and not even launcher specific.
I hope this helps someone

Thanks for the reply.
Where would you "Turn ON system animations"?

I have it in:
"Settings/Accessibility/Text And Display/Remove Animations"
I had this switch on (meaning no animations), what caused split screen to crash. Turning it off solved it.

Hmmm, doesn't work for me. Mine was already in the "OFF" position.
What the heck was ever wrong with the old simple way? It just worked.

Bummer, sorry that it didn't help. It just did for me.
I don't think so, but maybe you activated Developer options, and then changed the value of the animations scales?
Just to discard animation related settings.
I'm afraid I'm of no help beyond that

Well, what do you know...a bit of success.
Since time immemorial, i've always turned off animations in Developer Options to 0, as i do not care for all the fluffy visuals.
So on a whim i decided to tinker and set it to the lowest value, 0.5x, and that seems to work now. But the implementation is so much different than the old way, will take some getting used to. The old method was so much better.
Thanks for the input.

I'm glad it helped at the end!
I fully agree on everything, I don't want animations either, but we're stuck with them if we want split screen as long as they keep this bug...
Also not a fan of this new and worse split screen method. You press Home and both apps are gone.

1,000% this. I'll be returning my brand-new Pixel 6 and returning to my old phone which will never even be eligible for A12
