Does anyone experience extreme lag when using immersive mode on Oreo? I find that my phone lags when trying to turn the screen back on. It is especially evident when the screen has been off for more than 10 minutes. It is so bad that I cannot answer phone calls if the screen has been off for a few minutes as I hear the ringtone but the screen stays black. Does anyone know of a solution ? Immersive mode is a must have for me and I will have to revert to nougat for the time being if no solution is available.
Android Oreo immersive mode problems

I had the same problem and battery drain. Try using the following command to enter immersive mode. It fixed the lag and battery drain for me.
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,-com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,-com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
This did the trick! I just changed .navigation to .full so I could get the status bar to hide too.
Thank you
Do you enter this command into terminal emulator? Just the same way you wrote starting with "adb shell."
What kind of battery drain? I had lag on Oreo before I went back to Nougat, and also weird battery issues like apps reporting hours of use when they were only on screen for minutes.
If nav bar hiding was the cause of both issues I might try Oreo again.
Yes. I had similar experience. I did a factory reset but still had the problem. Hiding the nav bar was the cause, and using this command fixed the problem.
Wow, and all this time I thought Oreo was a pos, buggy, battery sucking release....
Phone feels normal again. This fixed all my issues!! Who would've thought...
I want to say that I too,...had the same lagging issue. And has worked for me too. Thank you both!!!
Sorry for sticking my nose in here, but how are you guys enabling immersive mode? It's not native to Oreo is it?
Jim unfortunately it is not a native option in oreo. As far as I know one must have root and run the commands posted above in terminal or through adb.

Thanks Frank. I've been using Custom Navigation Bar: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner&hl=en but it toggles off or on for all apps/screens. I miss the Xposed Force Immersive Mode that let you pick and choose which apps you wanted to "immerse".
Is there a way to couple this command with Tasker so we can pick and choose which apps are immersive? That's how I've been doing it with Custom Navigation Bar, i.e. creating immersive profiles and enabling/disabling them for specific apps. Now thanks to this thread, I'm finding out it's probably what's causing my wake problems.
Thank you sir, this has been bothering me so long since Oreo update.
I have done factory reset, done clean update, cleaned the internal storage etc...
your comments really works for me.

Guys i use "tiles" and among the various options there is the tile for "immersive mode".
Works with all apps.
Just Whatsapp has some problem: if you enter emoji, the insertion bar disappears and you have to click the "back" button to see everything.

You can run the command as a shell, you also have to check use root.

I was afraid of that. My preference would be to have a non-root method, but it sounds like the only workaround is to root.
Thanks though.
So I've been testing another workaround for the past 24 hours and it seems to be working. It's actually a really simple solution that makes use of my first post about using Tasker to enable/disable immersive profiles for specific apps. All I did was add a task that disabled immersive mode whenever I turn off my screen, and voila, no more delays when waking the phone.

Sorry for the slow response. This is the current setup I have and it works perfectly. If you're using Custom Navigation Bar (CNB) to activate immersive mode, I did it as follows:
1) Create two profiles in CNB, one called Immersive and one called Navigation (or whatever you'd like to call them). Those naming schemes should be pretty self-explanatory as to what each profile is meant to do and you should set them up accordingly within that app. In case it's not clear though, set up Immersive to hide the status bar and/or Nav bar. Conversely, set Navigation to do the opposite.
2) Next, within Tasker, you'll create two tasks, also called Immersive and Navigation (or again, whatever you'd like to call them). For the Immersive task, select +, Plugin, CNB, Action > Enable Profile, Select Profile > Immersive. Within the same Immersive task, add a second line by again selecting +, Plugin, CNB, Action > Disable Profile, Select Profile > Navigation. For the Navigation task, follow the exact same steps, but choose the appropriate (opposite) CNB profiles instead.
3) For app-specific immersion, in Tasker profile, select +, Application, choose all apps you'd like to be Immersive, then pick Immersive as the task and add Navigation as the exit task.
4) Finally, create another Profile by selecting +, State, Display, Display State, Off, and pick the Navigation task.
You can fiddle around with that and probably just skip step 3) to create a Profile activating the Immersive task whenever you turn the screen on and conversely, the Navigation task when you turn the screen off, but this is how I like mine to work, with per app-specific immersive mode.2Does anyone experience extreme lag when using immersive mode on Oreo?
