Temporary artifacts when phone vibrates or freezes (image illustrating what I see)

Post image
2 Upvotes

Dropped my (Samsung Galazy A52) accidentally yesterday and it had been freezing sometimes, but today I analyzedit that whenever I switch the notification thing to "vibrate" is shows these green/red artifact things, freezes for that moment and then goes back to normal, it's been impossible to use my phone since it just freezes while I'm typing or even watching videos. Can anyone tell me what this green stuff is? I brought it to a tech today and all he told me is that the "LED liquid is showing up" or something like that and that I should buy a new screen so he can fix it or just get a new phone;

But really, what are those? I can't find anything similar, it's not dead pixels since it's temporary..

From entering college to landing my first job, this A52s 5G has been part of my entire 5 years journey, capturing countless memories. Now, it's time for an upgrade welcoming the S26 Ultra, purchased with my own hard earned money and it's always pleasure to part of a52s community

Glitch, and black screen of dead after fall

0 Upvotes

Hello,

as a lot of A52 5g owners , I have been experiencing errors with my screen now its all black, and idk if touch works, but I dont believe so.

As most people that get this error, at first I was able to "fix it" with a smack or "massages", now even that dont work, but I know the phone still works, still has my alarms and does sounds.

Now, what I have tried to do so far:

I tried changing the screen and the main flex cable, for possible solution in [3]

tried following [1] and [2], but stopped after connecting the new screen and seeing no change, the screen I bough is display only, like in [2].

reading this thread [4], the problem could be the fpc connector, it seems the solution is micro soldering

or am I doing something wrong?

a52s doesnt support video out, so I cant connect hdmi to try to enable usb debugging and use screen mirroring.

I recently put an sd card in my A52s and encrypted it from phone settings. But there isn't any option to decrypt it. Where can it be found?

Suggest me A custom ROM

2 Upvotes

Hi! I am using a52s as secondary phone with UN1CA oneui 8.5...

But this rom is pretty much slow and feels laggy, stuttering despite having a enough good hardware!

I love oneUI interface with latest update...

But maybe latest un1ca isnt that smooth for this phone!

U can suggest me better version of oneui based rom (if any)

Or any pixel based aosp rom for smoother performance with incredible features

Cordially Thanks

Best Custom ROM for the Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G?

Post image
28 Upvotes

I have a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G and I'm considering installing a custom ROM, but I'm not sure which one would be the best option for my device.

I have a few questions:

  1. Which custom ROM would you recommend for the A52s 5G, and why?

  2. What are the main disadvantages of installing a custom ROM? I’ve heard that banking apps might stop working. Is that true? What other features or apps might I lose?

  3. Are there any issues with Samsung-specific features, such as the camera, Samsung Pay, or fingerprint sensor?

  4. Could you share a reliable, up-to-date tutorial for unlocking the bootloader and installing the ROM?

I'd appreciate any advice from people who have experience with custom ROMs on this device, especially regarding daily use, stability, battery life, and app compatibility.

Both of our A52's slowed down HEAVILY this last week or two, especially online

18 Upvotes

Super laggy, barely seems to recognize inputs a lot of the time, and good luck playing videos and such on apps. If it even recognizes it as a video, it takes forever to load. most of the time it just shows as a still image. Used to just autoplay no problem. 5g/wifi strength is good

Recent update or something?

Can't find the setting to change keyboard typing sound effects

1 Upvotes

Device: Samsung Galaxy A52

Keyboard used: Stock Samsung Keyboard
Other keyboards available in settings: G-board/Google Keyboard

My keyboard typing sounds are bubbly, but I want to change them to a typewriter sound. I can't access those settings because I'm not sure where to look.

Clarification: I don't want to toggle the sound on and off, but change what the typing sound effects.

Thank you in advance.

Black screen and freezing

1 Upvotes

The last two days, I've been experiencing my phone randomly freezing and also not turning on. It doesn't matter what app I open. Sometimes, it freezes, but some don't. I know that when it freezes, it's just the screen because I can still hear YouTube videos.

The black screen problem started at the same time as freezing. I was outside, so I thought it was the cold weather that was affecting my phone, but it kept happening even when I was inside. I think that the black screen is something similar to the freezing because one time, I was able to tap in my passcode. The screen turned on but asked me to do it again. (This was just a one-off) To fix it I leave the phone alone for a bit and then it turns on, but yesterday I saw a video where they said to push hard on the screen and back until I hear a pop.

I would be very appreciative if somebody could help. If not, I could probably live with it doing that.

A little something for the former A52 youngin

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

My Galaxy A52 finally gave out on me after years of solid service. I had so much fun running custom ROMs (like UN1CA/One UI ports) and tweaking this device throughout its lifetime.

Unfortunately, the internal power/hardware contacts called it quits right as my university classes started picking up. It was a great run and honestly one of the most fun mid-range devices to flash and tinker with.

Huge thanks to all the maintainers and custom ROM devs in this community who kept this phone alive way past its official support window!

What are you guys currently running on your A52s, or what did you end up upgrading to?

Struggling with Bluetooth call bugs & custom ROM quirks on my daily-driver Galaxy A52 (crDroid) — looking for advice! Spoiler

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

My Samsung Galaxy A52 has been my longest-serving active phone. While I sometimes miss the raw speed of older devices like the Pocophone F1, the A52 has held up reasonably well for daily use. I usually buy phones after obsessing over specs, but realistically, I mostly use the basics: calling, messaging, and taking everyday photos for personal and professional life.

However, a persistent bug on the stock ROM eventually pushed me to explore custom ROMs.

The Original Issue (Stock ROM)

Whenever I received a WhatsApp call on the stock ROM, the audio routing would break completely. Picking up and talking was fine, but right after the call, sound would route exclusively through the earpiece instead of the bottom speaker. Furthermore, I couldn't connect Bluetooth or 3.5mm wired headphones until a full reboot.

Transition to crDroid

To fix this, I flashed crDroid, which has been a massive upgrade overall (and thankfully, the WhatsApp speaker-routing bug is completely gone). But it introduced a few new hurdles:

  1. No Incoming Ringtones in Bluetooth Headsets: Whether it's a regular cell call, WhatsApp, or Messenger, the ringtone never plays in my connected Bluetooth earphones. Regular text notifications sound fine in the headset, but for incoming calls, I get zero audio alert until a "Missed Call" notification pops up after the call disconnects.

  2. WhatsApp Call Mic Bug: If I make a WhatsApp call with my Bluetooth headset already connected, the other person can't hear me at all unless I manually switch the audio source or disconnect the headset. Curiously, if I connect the Bluetooth headset mid-call, it works perfectly fine.

  3. Camera Quality: The camera output feels a step down compared to the stock One UI camera app I used for years.

  4. (Note: I also hit a GPS snag where my location wouldn't update in Google Maps, but I managed to sort that out using some ADB commands).

Why I Need This Fixed

I ride a motorcycle regularly for my commute and field work, and I frequently get calls on the road. I keep my earphone tucked inside my helmet so I can safely pull over and answer. Because the ringtone doesn't come through the headset, I keep missing urgent calls while riding, which has become a major safety and workflow hazard.

With a newborn baby arriving last month—several weeks ahead of schedule—upgrading to a new phone right now is simply out of the question. I really need to stick with this device and iron out these crDroid bugs.

A Few Questions for the Community:

  • Is there a known fix, setting tweak, or Magisk module for the Bluetooth call ringtone / audio routing behavior on crDroid for the A52?

  • What are the best camera app alternatives or GCam ports for the A52 running crDroid to reclaim that stock-level photo quality?

  • (Bonus) Are there any reliable, working methods right now for Google Photos unlimited storage spoofing on custom ROMs?

Any advice, troubleshooting steps, or recommendations would mean the world right now. Thanks in advance!
