After the update a few of my apps started malfunctioning. Namely, instagram crashes and swiftkey fails to load languages. Anyone else?
Sent from... what? SENT? ALEADY?
In the German app "Regenradar" (rain radar) the radar image was too small and shifted way into the upper left, even off the screen in some setting.
However, the app still worked for the most part. I had to pull the image back into the middle.
They fixed it today with an update. Pretty quickly, in my view.
I wrote this here only to indicate that there may be certain graphics problems. First I thought that this was because of the switch to OpenGL 3.0 ES, but apparently the Galaxy Nexus did not get that, for lack of hardware capability.

Hello,
Ive noticed in some apps, and in particular Firefox (and i believe Gmail), that selecting text sporadically LAGS on my Galaxy S3 running Cyanogenmod 10.1.3.. to the point where dragging the markers to the left or right is delayed by several seconds.
Has anyone experienced severe text selection lag? Any debugging steps?
Ive undergone many app updates, and updating from C 10.1.0 to 10.1.3, without change. Happens sporadically it seems. Does this happen on stock rom? I haven't been stock for a while and can't go back.

I have been on stock for a while and so far I haven't had that issue. Could be an issue with your keyboard app or just a plain bug.
forgot to note, I do use SwiftKey keyboard
It did it again today in Firefox, and I noticed it was not fully zoomed in (eg: normally when you select a textbox the page zooms into that field). clicking the textbox a few more times until the page zoomed in in Firefox 'fixed it'... hmm
I've been using my Note for a long time without any of the issues I have read about. Until now. This past week there were several updates to applications, including one that allows apps to send things to OneNote, which I had been waiting on for a while.
Then I was using Mazec3 inside NoteAnytime and while I was writing, things just froze up momentarily and my handwriting was all screwed up. I suspected the app, so I switched back to the Samsung pen input, but I had the same issue.
A device reset seemed to fix it mostly, but I have noticed that while playing CandyCrush, I get a momentary freeze.
The original hesitation seemed to be when the device was converting the handwriting to text (or to suggested words) and adding the CandyCrush issue in seems to suggest a bogged down processor.
Has anyone else had this issue and/or know how to fix it?
Thanks,

Mine is doing the same thing. My google keyboard keeps crashing. I uninstalled it and it's been performing a lot better.
Same here. Especially noticeable during video playback. I watch videos all the time on my note and this just started the other day. Thought it had something to do with my SD card, so I put the file on internal memory. Same issues, any ideas?
Hey guys!
So just as the subject reads, the phone from time to time can't connect to my camera and I just get a black screen. Switching between the front and back when this happens triggers the error message and tells me to send a diagnostic report to Google. One of the things I tried was to force close the camera process and still nothing. Only fix is to reboot the phone, but eventually in a day or two the camera will crash again.
Just to rule out any kind of corruption, I wiped the phone to factory settings via recovery and the phone still behaves like this. One of the apps I noticed does not play well with the phone is snapchat (current beta). The app is super laggy and wondering if this could cause the camera overall to eventually crash. Any ideas or thoughts are welcome!
Overall I'm kind if disappointed with the performance of the phone over several days. Upon reboot its quick and over a day or two the phone gets pretty sluggish, even locking up at times for a few seconds without being able to do anything. Sometimes exiting an app and going to the main screen takes a solid 5 to 10 seconds.
Yeah the camera app is very, very bugging. Really hoping there'll be an update that fixes the problems with that and 3rd party cameras.

I though I was the only one, the camera takes forever to open and bogs the whole system down, I just the l got the security updates and no camera bugs were addressed

Actually that's exactly the way my Nexus 4 behaved, which was the main reason I had to replace it now. Hope 5X won't do that, or I'd be pretty pissed off. I thought it was a hardware issue, but now according to what you write I suspect this might relate to some application installed.
I'll add myself to the list. Sometimes It doesn't even make picture, just get stuck and does nothing for a while, then for whatever reason it start shooting a sequence of pointless picture. Many times it take 2 pics in a row, like a not asked, not wanted crappy pointless multishot
Camera was completely fine for me until I got an OTA update 2 days ago and now its completely dog ****. Freezes for a while when I open the app, and crashes if I turn the phone to landscape.
I just rooted my phone and camera stopped working. Reset to default did nothing.
I'm on B29K. Do I need to downgrade?

How exactly did you root? And if you flashed a modified boot.img, which one fid you flash? Also, what does "reset to default" mean? Does this mean that you flashed the factory image for MMB29K?

Hi,
So I offer this phone to my wife this xmas and everything was going smooth until we found this issue:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYFdyDwuS_w
The bottom screen does this flickering when typing with Swiftkey keyboard on some apps. This one is Doggcatcher but it happens on other apps too.
If I swap to GBoard it does not happen. We're on Android Pie 9.0.
Has anyone found this issue?
Seems like a graphic bug in that specific keyboard.
Please, i need help.
Evaluate for yourself whether it is related to this topic.
Occasionally, graphical glitches appear on my Mi A2 lite, (4/64, Android Pie, December update, locked bootloader, no root, intact system).
In most cases, they flickering all over the screen, and in some other cases they are frozen, as is shown in attachment.
They are completely random and they appear through many applications that i use.
I can not determine the cause.
Does anyone else have a similar problem?
me... on chrome and all app that use webview... during call status bar is flickering... when switch to the camera in whatsapp with swipe to set status... and other
Something similar here, if Facebook Messenger chat head is overlaying YouTube it flickers a lot (only the actual video but the description and recommend are always working without flicker also no problems in fullscreen), less often it happens with Chrome and sometimes YouTube does it without Facebook Messenger even being open (Android Pie Dec. 5) [also it didn't happen for the first few weeks with 8.1 then Pie got released and worked well for some days then this started to happen]
I have that problem , the notification bar flickers a lot and when on video calls, it shows a black flickering rectangle at the bottom of the screen
Hi, I've got the same problem here. For me, the flickering appears when the keyboard is open, and get faster while typing, please does someone know how to fix that?

It is true that it is the keyboard, my keyboard developer is fixing the bug making it do that as we speak but in my case the whole screen flashes black instead of the little box you have
The problem with the flickering screen in some apps like Youtube, Chrome or Instagram can be fixed as follows:
Go to Developer Options and activate "disable hw overlays"
However, the setting must be set again after every Phone restart.

Isn't that bad long term?
"Without a hardware overlay every application that is displaying things on the screen will share video memory and will have to constantly check for collision and clipping to render a proper image, this can cost a lot of processing power. With a hardware overlay each application gets its own portion of video memory, getting rid of the need to check for collision and clipping."

Mine was having same flickering, checked HW overlays. It was disabled by default, I enabled it and now working perfectly. Thanks alot
Sorry if this has been solved or a thread already made, please point me to it if so, I have looked but did not find,
My issue is when I apply the stock live wallpapers after a while they stop moving and seem to jump around as if trying to keep up with hand movements, I've tried all the live wallpapers and they all do the same thing, I've even installed a 3D wallpaper app and it does the same, anyone else having this issue? Sorry if I'm late to the party.
I assume no one else is having this problem.
I don't use live wallpapers, so I can't report. I'm sure someone else does, though.
no issues with live wallpapers here
Do you happen to be using any of the stock live wallpapers (Bloom) the ones that uses the phones accelerometer via hand movement? I installed app called liveWall and those wallpapers work fine it's just stock Bloom live and the 3D ones.
I use the earth view from space live wallpaper. It works fine including live cloud updates.
Iv found a article reflecting my issue and I don't think I can fix it, think it's gonna have to be another software update

I have the auto-rotate bug with my P6P. Doesn't always rotate. A little annoying for sure. Especially when I use maps (landscape mode) with my phone in the car windshield holder.
