2 Annoying Issues Since Pie Update - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
Wondering if anyone is having similar issues. Issue 1 is when I am on a call and I have it on speaker and lay the phone on the table the screen repeatedly turns itself on. I hit the power button, it shuts and immediately turns itself back on. Anyone know the cause of this and how to fix? Issue 2 is using Spotify and songs stuttering for a second when I do anything. If I am listening to a song and I hit the power button the song stutters, if I hit the home button to open another app the song stutters, if I hit the back button to go back a page or close an app the song stutters. Anyone know what could cause that and a possible solution? Thanks!

The first issue, go back to Desktop or Home, then power the screen off. I have the same issue

So there is no fix, it's just a workaround? That's very annoying especially on conference calls for work, when you want to mute and unmute yourself you have to unlock the phone and open the dialer to get back to the call to be able to mute...ugh

[Q] Lock screen Music app controls--anyone else experience issues?

My lock screen controls are not working properly with the Music app.
When I press "Pause" on the lock screen after turning on the screen, the tap is registered but nothing happens for about 20 seconds. Then, the music will pause. Once I tap play, the music starts again immediately. Any time I tap pause/play it works fine, as long as the screen remains on the whole time. However, as soon as the screen turns off and I press pause again after turning on the screen, the same thing happens. Another 20 seconds before any reaction.
I tried uninstalling the updates for the Music app but the same thing happened.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
Just tested this on my GSM GN running ICL53F stock and I do not have this issue.

screen issues, specifically back button

i've also experienced some of the other screen issues that others have when the phone is charging, but i have noticed something more specific: w/o any other apps in the multi-task queue, i press vol-up to press play on my current song, and when the song comes on, my back button stops workin. actually all of the soft buttons do this, but after 10 or so seconds, home and search button come back, but back button still unresponsive. Sometimes happens when I have multiple apps going on as well. Kind of an annoyance.
i'm considering going back to the store to check my options, but (even though i don't think i'm qualified to make this distinction) it may be a software issue that may be updated with the connectivity issue on the 16th?

I can confirm this. It happened to me just today. I was using the "Sleep" app made by a buddy of mine. I played a sound from the app and then I hit the back button. It took me into the multitasking view. I literally could not exit the app unless I hit the home button. Afterwards, my back button stopped working but the home and search was still functional.
I let the phone sit for a while and everything started working again. I don't know if this will be addressed in the 16th update but I really hope so.
I also heard that a battery fix is coming as well.

[Q] Prevent sleep during call

Hi,
I love my HTC One X but one thing drives me insane. Once I've been on a call for a minute, the screen goes to sleep and I can't get in to any of my apps like Calendar etc that I need to check during a call. The only button that responds is the power button which ends the call!
Can you please let me know how to prevent sleep during a call?
I've just bought Tasker, so I'm hoping that I can do something with that, is that the best place to start?
Thanks,
JD
It shouldn't be doing that by default.
You can turn on/off the 'power button ends call' option in accessibility

I'm facing the same problem, other than the Power button terminating the call.
This is getting on to my nerves now!
Is there a fix to this?

Perfect, that fixed it, thanks!
How do I prevent the screen from going to sleep, while on a call?
If I am on a call and I get a call waiting tone, I look at my screen and it's blank. Similarly, like I said earlier, at the end of the call too, I can't end the call because the screen is again blank!
The Power key seems to wake it up, but it is annoying to keep pressing it all the time.

[Q] Phantom volume down?

Never heard of phantom hardware button issue. Anyone?
When streaming video over wifi (netflix or any other app like it) sometimes the volume level slides all the way to mute - - I'm not touching anything , but it acts as if I held the vol down button. Volume toast popup comes out of the blue, and I just watch it decrease volume to mute. I slide it back up, and it immediately slides back to mute. It will do it like 20 times in five minutes, then not for days... ANY suggestions? MOAR/MD4. No other issues... Thanks in advance for any ideas. Cheers.

[Q] Screen randomly turns off after KitKat update (Note2)

I was browsing through the forum to see if anyone has a similar problem, but this doesn't appear to be the case.
Since I updated my Note 2 (UAE version) to 4.3, my screen keeps turning off completely randomly (even when in the cradle). It just goes blank. Now - the phone doesn't go to sleep and I know that because if I play video, it still keeps playing (I hear the audio). When the screen goes off, I then need to push power button to turn off the screen and turn it on. If the video is playing, pushing the power button will of course lock the screen, so I actually first need to push home button to get out of the video, then power button to turn off the screen and then power button again to turn it on.
Am I explaining this well? So, the problem is not that the phone goes to standby, the problem is that the screen stops functioning and i need to push power button to put it into standby and then back from standby.
It is completely random - I can sometime work on the phone for hour and nothing will happen, and sometime it will happen after few minutes. It doesn't matter what I am doing, whether playing video, browsing web, checking email etc.
Anyone with a similar problem? Anyone, class, anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
