An odd stability bug that leads to a whole UI freeze has affected a number of Android telephones over the previous few days. The concern is especially evident in Google’s Pixel lineup and a few OnePlus, Xiaomi, and Samsung telephones.As reported first by Android Police, some apps randomly freeze and render the whole consumer interface unusable. The concern is prevalent on Android 10 whereas Android 11 developer preview can be reported to endure from this.
While this doesn’t actually appear to be attributable to a sure software, customers say Amazon, Twitter, YouTube, YouTube Music apps are normally concerned. Seeing Amazon app face bizarre points doesn’t actually come as a shock contemplating its general poor UI/UX, however different fashionable apps appear to be affected as effectively.
Another factor that actually bothers me on the Pixel 4 XL – when an app freezes up, it oftentimes locks up the entire UI. Notifications, house gesture – all the things turns into unresponsive.
Sometimes the UI unfreezes when the app does, typically the app stays frozen.
Anyone else?

If you’re dealing with the aforesaid concern, chances are you’ll attempt locking and unlocking your cellphone as a short lived workaround. Also, for units with a bodily fingerprint scanner and swipe gestures (Pixels and telephones operating customized ROMs), customers say swipe down gesture to tug down the notification shade rescues the cellphone.
Meanwhile, there exists one other concern on OnePlus units that end in frozen UI, which is probably going as a result of Google appears to have tousled Webview within the current updates. Personally, I’ve encountered each of those points over the previous few days on my OnePlus 7T operating Android 10. Strangely sufficient, my colleague with the identical cellphone and Android model claims to have by no means confronted the difficulty to this point.
The firm has not formally addressed or acknowledged the difficulty simply but however we might count on the software program big to deal with this concern with precedence since a big variety of customers seem to have been affected by this.
So, are you dealing with UI freeze points in your cellphone? If sure, tell us your cellphone’s mannequin within the feedback under.
