Android is very buggy after updating to 15

Upstate1618

Nobody can help you if there's no models, versions and logs provided. It seems a hardware problem to me.

Upstate1618 I only know how to properly share logs for system server crash, this is the first time i had to post here. grapheneos version didn't matter as much because it was literally every update after android 15 and i'm up to date, but i will add.
GrapheneOS: 2024110700

I don't have these problems, so also to me, it seems you have hardware problems.

Upstate1618

Is developers option enabled? Is bootloader locked?

Upstate1618 developer options were enabled, bootloader locked.
I did factory reset, didn't enable developer options this time because i didn't need to.
Now i'm testing, video hardware acceleration issues started only after a day of usage after playing a bunch of videos with Material files and VLC. Uninstalled both, i still have to wait to see if anything changes.

Vwy13Fbj Some apps ignore top, bottom bar and keyboard from ui, so content and buttons are displayed under top bar(markor fixed after latest update from github, monerujo still has this problem even with constant updates).

Same for me on different phones with GOS. Bust any other app works as expected. Other apps works as expected and i have no other issues from list.

The problem with parts of the apps being covered by OS UI elements is due to the app developer moving their apps to the Android 15 targetSDK without actually testing to see that their apps work properly when running on Android 15.
Apps are supposed to support edge to edge before they move to the new targetSDK. The apps you see which have problems clearly do not.

I am experiencing issues too since upgrading to version 15.

Applications that do not open or close immediately, on some occasions.
The keyboard that doesn't appear when you need to write something.
You press to call a number and the phone does nothing.
Bluetooth disconnections (it has always been an unstable technology but with Android 15 it happens to me much more often).

The feeling is that everything is more unstable.

After upgrading to Android 15, my phone app coming with GOS broke down completely. The dial pad displayed "Call ended" instantly whenever an outgoing call was made, without even attempting to make an outward connection. On the other hand, incoming calls were directed to the voicemail box instantly, being told that my device was "turned off" and not in service.

However, in the meantime, the SMS app of GOS, mobile signal and internet connection of my device worked perfectly. The voice call function of other apps (e.g. whatsapp) also worked fine.

Would anybody have any idea how to fix it?

This is exactly what happens to me.
I hope Graphene team can look into it.

That issue has already been posted in another thread, which has replies including suggestions and open requests for information: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/17405-help-solution-for-complete-breakdown-of-the-phone-app/

Splitting that issue across two threads is counterproductive, so please discuss this issue in that thread.

grapheneuser1234 Settings > network & internet > SIMs > [your Sim card] > Allow 2G toggle on. Does that help?

Funny, we have quite the same apps.

I am on latest beta, Pixel 6a.

Material files works, VLC works, ffshare works, camera works (video and photos), signal works

I had the overlapping app issue which is not a GrapheneOS issue

I also had fossify-gallery thumbnail issues but rarely, and not easy to reproduce.

Dont use Termux anymore but this might be some power management setting.

Well, you have a great choice of apps.

I uninstalled Material files and VLC like 4 days ago, and since then there were no issues with video playback and hardware acceleration, no crashes and only minor problems that other people had didn't go away. Every app that had some big issues was related to audio/video. What do you think?

And i'm using termux normally now without UI freeze, and you can guess that it would be pretty bad not having it because i have it for: git, yt-dlp, ffmpeg, imagemagick, openssh, curl, wget, hugo, neovim, basically all coreutils, and general development.
You can get an alternative terminal emulator and a dedicated app for most things, but it would be inferior to termux in features and storage space.
So i would have to only consoom youtube for a week to test if anything changes without it.

They are on 'LTE Only' and its likely that they are now not getting VoLTE from their carrier for some reason which is why calls arent working for them
