Problems after Nougat update-Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Hi,
I have been noticing some problems in my Galaxy a5 2017 after updating to nougat (India).
1) the battery seems to be dropping much faster
2) screen does not go blank during calls. That is the proximity sensor should blank the screen when the phone is lifted to the ear and come on again once its taken off. But that does not happen at times and I have to restart the phone after which the problem goes away for sometime and reappears again. I have installed Smart Screen On/Off (from Luutinhit), Home touch and Volume on my phone.
I have installed Smart Screen On/Off so that I do not have to keep pressing the hardware power key all the time to lock the phone.
Home Touch is installed as I do not want to press the hardware home key all the time I want to go to the home screen.
Volume is installed to avoid pressing the volume hardware button all the time I wish to change the volume for each app.
Is anyone facing the above issues?? Also are the above installed apps responsible for the erratic proximity sensor behaviour??
If anyone could suggest alternate good apps that work well with finger print sensor I would be grateful.
Thanks,

[Q] screen doesn't wake up while talking

I have an annoying problem with my HD Mini.
While talking on the phone the screen goes black which is normal and useful property. But my phone does not wake up, especially at darker conditions. It doesn't wake up even I press any button on the phone (stand-by button, volume button, home, back etc.)
For example, when i call someone in a dark place and the voicemail answered the phone, i couldn't hang up the phone because the screen doesn't come back and none of the buttons work. In this case, the only solution is either to remove the battery or place the phone under bright light to hang up the phone.
I've tried touch in call screen tweak but it doesn't work on my hd mini.
OS Version: 5.2.23103 (23103.5.3.3)
ROM Version: 1.36.401.1 (94538) WWE
Manila Version: 2.5.20131825.3
Can somebody please help me???

that's normal behaviour of proximity sensor,anyway you can hang up by pushing the hard button
what you have said is one of the main problems since the telephone doesn't wake up even i press the hard buttons.

hmmm that's weird..
i read somewhere here on forum that a guy had the same problem and he just opened up the phone(not only battery cover) and cleaned the proximity sensor of dust and then everything worked as it should.
btw..i tested last night in dark to place a call in dark room,and when i put the phone away from my ear backlight was on ,so it should be on even in dark room...
p.s. be sure u didnt install any app which has option to change settings of sensor,like CHT
I will try to open up the phone and clean the proximity sensor.
But this still doesn't explain the wake-up failure even i press the hard buttons. Is there a setting about this issue which disables the hard buttons while talking?
here is the post of guy who had this problem on the same phone and he solved by cleaning the sensor

[Q] Touchpad stops working only after unlocking screen

Hi,
I have a weird bug with the touchpad of my phone.
It stops working after unlocking the locked screen.
Ok, here is what happens:
I dropped my galaxy W on the road, then someone drove over it...
After this accident, the LCD screen as well as the glass broke but the phone could still start and was ringing when called.
I decided to take my chance and bought the parts to fix it. I have changed the digitizer and the LCD screen.
The phone boots just fine.
I am able to swipe to unlock the phone and access the home screen.
However, once I access the home screen, the touchpad doesn't respond anymore! Volume buttons, home button and power buttons are still working fine. Options and return button are not working too.
I am even able to access my missed calls from the locked screen if I press on the missed call button directly on the locked screen.
I have tried to access the recovery mode. By pressing volume up+home+power, I can access it, but I then need to press onto the "options" button which is not answering. I am stuck again.
I have also tried to access the downloading mode. I can access the "warming!" menu (with explainations about the dangers related to custom OS), but the phone stops answering after that. I press the volume button up or down nothing happens.
Is it a software issue or a hardware issue (related to the motherboard?)
Thanks for you help.
liquid can be contacted. Odin or try the setup ..:good:

Hard press home button stopped working after rooting?

I bought my galaxy s9 960F last week.
I have rooted that but the pressure sensitive home button does not seem to work. I tried setting the sensitivity to maximum. Still not working.
Read somewhere that home button needs to be recalibrated. Any ideas.??

Touchscreen becomes unresponsive after proximity sensor turns off screen during call

TD;DR - my touchscreen stops working whenever I get a phone call.
I'm experiencing a problem with the touchscreen. When I answer a call and the proximity sensor is activated, the touchscreen stops responding. It continues to be unresponsive even after I move the phone away from my head or end the call. I've mapped the power button "end call" or I can't hang-up )
Sometimes I can press the power button twice (sleep/wake) to restore functionality but on some rare occasions I cannot get the touchscreen to work again without rebooting.
This did not happen when the device was new (running Nougat). When I first encountered it I though it might be due to custom roms so I did a full reset to factory RUU (Oreo I think). This too had the issue. I'm currently running Fagyi's LOS 16.
When the touchscreen is working it works flawlessly. When it stops it mostly doesn't work at all - but double-tap to wake will still wake the device - it just doesn't respond to any touch input.
There's a really easy way I found to force the problem. Here are the steps:
1. With my phone sitting on my desk I call my phone.
2. When the phone rings confirm the touchscreen works.
3. Place my hand over the top area of the phone to activate the proximity sensor.
4. Move my hand away so the screen comes back on.
5. The touchscreen is now dead until I either press power-button twice or, in extreme cases, reboot.
I've watched logcat as this is happening and I could not find anything interesting that seemed related.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Galaxy A7 2017 touchscreen not responsive

Hello,
I've a very strange problem with my father's A7 2017, the touchscreen randomly become unresponsive, but the hardware buttons and the entire system are working fine for example if a video is running in YouTube app it will continue to play and if I press the home screen hardware button it will show the home screen.
And here is the strange part: if i pressed the power button to turn off the screen and turn it on again the touchscreen will work again normally and then freezes after multiple seconds or minutes.
I tried lineageos 18.1 and different stock ROMs but still have the same issue. any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks.
