Pairing to Bluetooth Gamecontroller is not working

I am having the same problem with the s-pen as well, I'll try to give some more details and the results of my testing:

How to reproduce:
- Activate Power Saving mode
- Take out S-Pen and touch or hover over the display
- Press the power button

This will happen:
- Device shows boot animation and restarts itself (1st restart)
- Screen looks normal and touch works, but the buttons are not functional
- After some time (~1 minute) the device will restart itself again (2nd restart)
- When the device comes back it shows a black screen and the status bar
- You can exit this state by holding down the power button until a reboot menu appears, and restart again (3rd restart)
- After the device restarted, everything is back to normal

Exactly this happens to me every time. The issue only appears when power saving mode is enabled. I disabled all magisk modules but it still happens. Can someone else with note 8 confirm or deny that this happens?

I attached a demonstration video, plus multiple logs (number 1 = before first restart; number 2 = before second restart; number 3 = before third restart) and the tombstone. The second and third log recordings were started after the system booted, so I am not sure if they contain everything. I only attached kmsg from before the first restart as the others were empty.

I think that's all, let me know if something else is needed.

(P.S. this is my first post here so I'm sorry if i messed something up)

hi friends, i am new to magisk, twrp and custom roms. i liked them very much. i want to learn one thing. wich parameters do you back up with twrp? (i want to restore my data after installing lineage os 20 and nik gaps)
thank you very much.

También tengo el mismo problema con el s-pen, intentaré dar más detalles y los resultados de mis pruebas:

Cómo reproducir:
- Activar el modo de ahorro de energia
- Saque el S-Pen y toque o desplace el cursor sobre la pantalla
-Presion the boton de power

Esto es lo que va a ocurrir:
- El dispositivo muestra una animación de arranque y se reinicia solo (primer reinicio)
- La pantalla se ve normal y el toque funciona, pero los botones no funcionan
- Después de un tiempo (~ 1 minuto), el dispositivo se reiniciará nuevamente (segundo reinicio)
- Cuando el dispositivo regresa muestra una pantalla negra y la barra de estado
- Puede salir de este estado manteniendo presionado el botón de encendido hasta que apareció un menú de reinicio y reiniciar nuevamente (3er reinicio)
- Después de reiniciar el dispositivo, todo vuelve a la normalidad

Exactamente esto me pasa siempre. El problema solo aparece cuando el modo de ahorro de energía está habilitado. Deshabilité todos los módulos de magisk pero aún sucede. ¿Puede alguien más con la nota 8 confirmar o negar que esto sucedió?

Adjunté un video de demostración, además de varios registros (número 1 = antes del primer reinicio; número 2 = antes del segundo reinicio; número 3 = antes del tercer reinicio) y la lápida. Las grabaciones de registro segunda y tercera se iniciaron después de que se inició el sistema, por lo que no estoy seguro de si contienen todo. Solo adjunté kmsg de antes del primer reinicio ya que los demás estaban vacíos.

Creo que eso es todo, avísame si necesitas algo más.

(PD: esta es mi primera publicación aquí, así que lo siento si estropeé algo)

Hola a todos ! A mi me pasa lo mismo, cuando saco el s-pen funciona bien, pero si le doy al boton del s-pen el telefono se reinicia con el logo y vuelve a funcionar, cuando le saco el s-pen no puedo apagar la pantalla o encenderla y se reinicia. ¿alguna solución?

 

[mihairot]

Hi!
Thanks for your hard work. It is by far the most successful unofficial rom for note 8.
However, I encountered a problem. I can't set up a VPN connection. The 3 vertical dots in the top right corner where I could bring a new connection are missing.
If I install a VPN app it works and appears in the VPN settings .

 

[AetherArchivist]

Hello, this is my first time ever attempting installing one of these... is there a tutorial? I have a stock samsung S8+, and how do I backup all my apps, photos and videos?

 

[quimcosworth]

Hi everyone!

First of all, I would like to thank @Ivan_Meler for his amazing work. I´m using his builds for a couple of years and they are really good. This last Lineage has an amazing battery life, which for me is really important.

Unfortunately, Since I moved to LineageOS 20.0 (Android 13), I experience voice calls issues. This means that after a while (first calls), the voice and mic are gone and I can not communicate at all. Which obeys me to reboot the phone all the time. I have been thinking of multiple possibilities... but maybe someone can help me. I thought on:
- The call app does not work -> which means that more people should have the same problem.
- (Modem) firmware needs to be updated -> that could be maybe the case.
- Network issues...
- Another issue with the ROM -> which again, more people should have experienced.

For your information, I´ve never experienced problems installing the ROM or rooting it.

Thanks in advance!

after the update the reboot problem with the s-pen still persists, also I still have the problem that the volume cannot be adjusted during a call, the problem of failing during the call I have solved by resetting the network settings. otherwise everything works very well.

Hey,

Im trying to connect a Garmin smartwatch via bluetooth but it gets to the part where the pairing pin is suppose to come up and nothing happens, both devices look like they are waiting for a response from each other. They eventually time out, tried the smartwatch with other smartphones and that worked, tried other devices with the smartphone and that worked as well so im not sure whats happenimg.

I have had this problem for a while, too. I always thought, it would be a problem on my side, but haven' t had the time to reset my garmin edge explore or so...If someone has a solution to this problem, I'd be very thankful!

At the moment my solution was to flash hadesROM and keep a data backup for this one in case it gets fixed. For some reason this appears to be an issue on both this ROM and also the PixelExperience.

tanks i use basic package from nikgapps and problem still exist
Which package did you install exactly?

 

[California EV]

I installed the stock 13 arm 64 version from Nick.
this install more apps from Google collection, likes file, foto, drive, gboard and others, but the assistant works nice.
on my device, greatlte, It works only with screen on or lockscreen. Doesn't works when the screen Is off or completely locked. But this Is becouse the device, I suppose ...
best wishes.
