Hi everyone,
I've been running my Note 3 with Nova Prime for the last week now and it's been great. I was able to get rid of the swipe up gesture to open My magazine. However, recently (in the last 24 hrs or so) I am randomly getting a popup notification "Unfortunately. My Magazine Here and Now has Stopped". As far as I can tell, I've gotten about 5 times now. I just press okay and it goes away, but its a little annoying because it never did this. I've tried clearing cache, restarting the phone, but it keeps coming back.
Is anyone having this issue? Did I perhaps change a setting that I shouldn't have? Or, did my phone get OTA update that I didn't know about?
Sorry, new to Android.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, this is happening to mine too. I'm also running Nova so I wonder if that has something to do with the error.

Nova isn't the problem, I'm running TouchWiz and I'm getting the error as well.

Were you always getting the error?
+1 for getting this error. I am running nova but the error pops up while browsing the gallery and also in a few apps. It makes the phone unresponsive for about 5 sec and then I get the notification.
I am getting this error message as well... anybody found solution to fix this? at least I would like to know what is causing this issue...
Thanks in advance!
Having the same issue
I am having the same issue as well. Can't even uninstall or disable that app.
It's start to happening to me as well and it's annoying. I never root my phone or anything. How to fix this or completely remove it? Thanks
My phone also locks up for a few seconds before it displays the notification. I getting annoying too as is happening about 4-5 times a day now while in different apps. Last night or was in waze and this morning it was in calendar.
I'm thinking of restoring my phone but I really don't want to.

Having Same Issue
I have cleared the cache and force stopped the app and still get the notification . Just started a few days ago.
I too have tried to narrow down the issue in application manager, with no luck. Really frustrating!
The solution
Uninstall FlipBoard. This worked for me. If Flip Board cannot be uninstalled, the remove the latest update.

I uninstalled FlipBoard and the error continued, it happens to me about 2 times per hour. Then the next time I rebooted my Note3, Flipboard updated itself again.
I'm not exactly sure why but I haven't had the issue for about a day now. Fingers crossed.

Same issue here. This is the crap that annoys the hell outta me. Why cant I remove this or disable it at the least. Flipboard cant be uninstalled. I removed the latest updates still the same issue. Turn off auto updating will stop the app from auto updating. Ive disabled auto updates for now, not confident that will cure the issue...
I'm having this issue as well. It's weird that it's happening even when launch the dialer to call someone. It freezes for around 5 seconds, and displays the error message.
Me too

So after being error-free for about 4 days, it's back. I've gotten the error four times already today, three of them while running waze on my way to work. Doesn't really make sense since I wasn't even handling the phone at the time.
Has anybody tried rooting their phone and removing all the magazine stuff with titanium backup?

Same problem here...new to Android
Hello. I am having the same problem here as well. I have only download a few things before I started having this crash. In fact, my phone seem to be pretty unstable with numerous things crashing, including the camera app, as well as some other camera apps. I don't really think I have installed too much, or anything crazy, but then I am just starting with Andoid, so not really sure. Just came from iPhone. Want to root...just not sure what I am doing yet. But if it will help get rid of this problem, I am game...but this is pretty uncool. Will I loose my S Pen Air Command on my Note 3? I have read conflicting reports.
Thanks!!
If anybody has any new developments, please post.
Thanks!!
I found something that works
If you open up that magazine app by swiping up, then click on the 3 lines, then uncheck every thing except social.
That worked for me!
My VS980 for the third time now randomly started lagging and hanging. By that I mean the main watch on accuweather hangs, sending text messages and downloading hangs, and just switching through home screens and app list the screen freezes and then unfreezes. Apps barely boot and social, calendar widgets do not update, and typing freezes after every word for about 3 seconds. Restart and safe mode do not fix this problem. The previous 2 times I did a hard reset but it seems to only fix the issue for about 5-7 days, but those are annoying, so is there any other solutions or anyone aware of this such type problem?
Is there some certain program you keep re-installing that could be causing issues? Have you tried any custom roms?

Definitely sounds like a rogue program running in the background. My advice is for you to do a hard reset, then install apps one at a time (run it, of course), and find out which program is causing an issue. An alternative is that you google each app to see if others using the same apps have issues.
I got this phone recently from insurance, could it be something in Kernel issue or something else? I did another hard reset, I'll look out for any apps, but it happened randomly without any downloads or installs. I have no custom roms, and I only have news apps and 3 games from EA.
Question - Could this possibly be spawned by originally having rooting problems? The phone was sort of frozen on my first root attempt for some unknown reasons, the command box suddenly froze and the android icon was frozen, I had to restart my phone and attempt root again even though the previous root attempt started and was cut off, and the first time the lag issue happened was the next day. Do you think I should try un-rooting and re-rooting my phone? Or is that irrelevant.
Past oomberr
Are you running any custom roms, kernel, mods? Recovery installed?
Possibly a modem problem
I had this problem on my G2, and changing my modem seemed to fix it. I was using EUR KK modem even though I'm in the Middle East. Try changing to your region specific modem and then it can fix it, a dalvik/normal cache wipe can help. If all fails then try wiping, or switching roms.
Over the weekend Lightflow was being wonky. Showing I had notifications when I had none.
So I uninstalled it, and hit restart to let the phone refresh..
Upon doing so, it bootlooped.... I think. After 3-4 minutes it came up with a Force Close window and said "System is Not Responding would you like to close? [Wait][OK]"
Has anyone else seen this or experienced it first hand?
As a fix, I removed the battery and let it set for a minute or so. Re-assembled, powered on, and it took a minute or so to boot fully after the removal of Lightflow and the bootloop, I think...
As the system hadn't loaded, I was unable to get SS's.. But does anyone have any insight on this?
Question: Do you have a Developer edition ? How are you on 5.0.1?
But the system not responding issue has also happened to me. Fixed it with a battery pull.
Not sure what causes the problem though. Maybe check logs?
Here's a strange and new development. My phone ran the latest software update from AT&T. Now, when I unlock the phone, either with fingerprint or PIN, the last app I used will be open on the screen. Very annoying. I have been messing around with it and found that if I close all active apps this will not happen. It is very annoying. Anyone else experience this? and if so, any insight into how to get it to stop?
Thanks!
I just traded my sprint lg v20 for this verizon lg g6 vs988 yesterday because I needed a gsm unlocked phone. Now I finally got a phone my son card works in but I've been up all night trying to fix this issue.
Seemingly at random the phone just starts installing "random" apps that I've never used before. Some of them include
Go90
Wish
Yelp
Yahoo mail
And several others I can't remember at the moment but I'm sure ill be reminded soon. I keep uninstalling them and they keep coming back. By the manner which they are installed on sure they are not normal bloatware. They download silently in the background even while I have an active foreground download going.
I've googled the issue and found no resolution. I also noticed the phone charges ridiculously slowly. The phone was also on an outdated firmware with a security patch from 2017. The built in system update would not detect any update for the phone. I had manually download and install the latest update on the computer last night.
After doing this with a completely fresh factory reset these apps were still installing themselves. I then used verizons pc upgrade assistant again and did a firmware repair but skipped the phone backup step so I again would be starting fresh. Again these app's keep installing themselves.
It seems to be on some kind of interval. After so much time that the phone is running it suddenly install another random app or apps I've never heard of before, then after so long all of a sudden some more different apps suddenly appear.
I also tried malwarebytes and of course it says nothing is wrong. Can someone please help me get this sorted?
Which firmware you have?, maybe it would be the best to flash clean stock firmware with LG UP.
You can find latest kdz here..
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-vs988-firmwares/
16a download via verizon upgrade assistant. Would reflashing the kdz via lg up do anything different than verizon upgrade assistant?
Ps I had to retype this message 3 times because half way through typing chrome just shut down for no apparent reason.
Finance
Groupon
EBay
Were can I download latest version of lg up. I only found one old for g4 and one that said 1.8.8.0 but wanted me to login.
Suspicious. What I do to prevent problems like this is to disable all apps possible, including googles apps and the Play store crap. Then go in to each app within settings and deny data access to them, clear the data and deny all hardware access that makes sense. For example, Groupon would not need microphone access so that access is removed. I think only the Contacts app has the phone permissions. It takes some time, but worth it. Reboot after you are done and re-check because sometimes the settings don't seem to stick. Maps will still work without Google Services. Using Android_x86 in a VM, trusted apps are downloaded in a virtual machine and then put on the sd card and then installed on the phone. I'm not a very trusting person Its suspect that the "Emergency Alert" app has access to everything and I can't deny microphone or any other access for it.
I think it may have been the app named "app flash" that was doing it. Its apparently the app verizon added that by default sits on the left side of the home screen. I disabled it from my home screen first while setting up my phone after reset but left app flash active. Its supposed to be some kind of assistant app that recommends apps to install and acts as a hub for all your other apps.
So far I haven't had anything else auto install(nothing visible anyways). After uninstalling all the 10 or so apps that were installed they haven't come back yet. Hopefully it stays that way and nothing malicious going on in the background.
Anyone please link me latest lg up? Still like to a complete fresh firmware install just to be safe. One that will completely wipe everything and install the os fresh.

Both my wife and I have had that happen. The apps we got were Big Farm, TMZ, and some other crappy game.
Our phones are unlocked and rooted, so I immediately did a bare-metal refresh - wiped everything including system and internal storage, and did a complete stock flash from recovery. Since then we have kept "Install from unknown sources" and "Auto-update" both set OFF, and have had no further issue.
