[Q] Apps not launching? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright so I got a 32GB nexus 7 from futureshop, unlocked/rooted it running stock 4.2.1 and stock launcher. After I leave my tablet in sleep mode for a while (Atleast overnight) and then turn it on I can't launch ANY apps. Settings, games, nothing. The touch screen works perfectly fine I can open up the recent apps and the app menu no problem. However when I click on an app it just stays "glowing" and it doesn't launch until I reboot the device.
After searching I found nothing that relates to what I'm experiencing. So is there any solution to this?

Try to wipe it using cwm and then redownload the apps. Hope it helps! Please press the the thank you button if I helped

Google Currents keeps crashing 4.2.2 N10

Hi guys,
I noticed that after the 4.2.2 OTA update on my N10, that my Google Currents app continues to crash every time I launch it. I've rebooted my device many times but to no avail, it doesn't let me keep Currents open for longer than 3 seconds
Is anyone else experiencing this?

Working fine for me. Maybe try un installing and reinstall.

Agree with y2whisper -
You could try going to Settings / Apps and finding Currents, and then clearing Cache and Data and starting it up again. Or you could uninstall it, go to the Play Store and download / install a fresh copy of the latest version.

Can't Install Apps Not From Play Store

I recently purchased a Nexus 10. I'm trying to install the Amazon App Store which is not in the Play Store, but instead is a file that I can download from Amazon. I've selected "Unknown Sources" option in the security settings and when I go to install the Amazon App Store App it gives me the option to install it, but it won't actually let me select the install button. I'm not rooted at all and running a totally stock version of Android 4.2.2 on my Nexus 10. Any ideas as to how I can get this app to install with out rooting my tablet?
I didn't have any problems installing it. Do you have any device administrators activated on your device which might block 3rd party apps?

I just checked and I don't have any device administrators turned on. Is it possible that it's a 4.2.2 issue?

It should allow you to install it. I'd either try re downloading the apk or factory reset.

So after rebooting a few times, it worked. So weird.

Do you have screen filter installed? I had the same issue,I couldn't click on install when screen filter was on. So just deactivate it and you can click on install again. No need to reboot.
After playing around a little, I discovered that it was the Screen Adjuster app that I had downloaded. As soon as I uninstalled the app, everything worked perfectly.

GPS won't turn off

Hey everyone,
I have the AT&T 32GB GS4. For the past few days, I have been experiencing odd battery drainages during the second half of the day. I was looking at the battery section of the settings menu, and when I turn off GPS through the notifications bar (when I'm done navigating), the GPS is showing that it is still running. It doesn't turn off until I restart the phone. Also, Google Services is taking up 40%+ of the battery and it hasn't done that ever. I've had this phone for a month.
Any ideas?

could be location service related or weather app related. freeze all apps you DL'd and check again.
That didn't work. I turned off all apps and cleared data for Maps. Also, none of my apps are allowed to use my location.

try doing a factory reset from the settings menu. Just backup everything you want to keep onto your sd card
Do you have yahoo weather installed

[Q] "No Client" notification popup! What is it?

Hi,
I'm running stock 4.3 on my Nexus 4 (unrooted). Recently I've been getting this "No Client" notification popup at the bottom of my screen, it's independent of the app or window I'm on. It's driving me mad, I really don't know what it is.
Can anyone help?
Anybody with any clues? Ideas about suspect Apps or settings?
its one of your apps, 100%.
How do I find out which app?
you can uninstall your apps, then install them one by one until you find the guilty app. or you can go through all your apps settings until you find it.

I'm thinking I should look for an app running in the background? Or can the popup/alert show up from any app? Oh boy, I have a lot of apps, it's gonna take a while!
This is driving me nuts..ive uninstalled/reinstalled most of my apps..and i still get this nagging popup!!
Do you use "Android Widget Pro" ?
Happens on my stock Nexus 5 as well.
Happening on my stock Nexus 7 2013 more and more frequently. Hopefully someone can identify the guilt app so I don't have to rebuild.
And no I don't use Android Widget Pro.
This has been bothering me for months. It has to be an app but I have no idea which one. I have over 200 apps installed so although the uninstall/reinstall idea would be effective, it is not practical for me. If the message was consistent maybe, but its not. Anyone with less apps installed want to try?
Same for me on my Nexus 4. Getting insane!!!

how about a screen shot of what you are seeing? I'm not getting the popup on my N4 or N7.

I am getting this with my Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. I wonder what causes this. It makes Android feel unpolished.
I have this on my XDA 1. As i don't have many apps I'll list them below and see if you notice any the same. hope this helps/works.

forget it, i've got more apps than i thought....
I unlocked my bootloader, rooted and installed CM. Installing my apps day by day and the stupid toast started appearing last night. I'll try to narrow down the app based on the time of install.
Right now I'm suspecting Pocket Casts.

Got the issue on my 2013 Nexus 7, unrooted. I'm not using Pocket Casts, using BeyondPod as a podcast client.
How about greader pro? I've been reading on another thread that turning location options off then on again in Google Settings sorts the problem.

No not using that app either. Mine is becoming more frequent, its annoying but not annoying enough to do a factory wipe. Hopefully someone will narrow down the issue to an app or setting soon!

[Q] Setting App Defaults Issue PLEASE HELP!

So i am having a issue on my S4, i have searched around and found it to be a problem on many other peoples s4's
When i set a downloaded app. Lets say Apex launcher for example, i press the home key and click to have Apex as my launcher then i choose Always, but when my phone reboots, it doesnt store then infomation so i have to choose it again on boot cause there are two launchers installed. This also happens for things like Google Keyboard (it didn't come pre installed on my phone) im sure it isnt hardware fault cause it happens on my Galaxy ace 3. its really frustrating cause built in apps such as you tube and the stock browser keep there app defaults such as youtube app to open when i click a video on the browser :/ anyone know what i can do?

Have you got it set as the default under Settings>More>Default applications>Home......
I am currently using Nova as the default without having to keep setting it as the default :fingers-crossed:
No problem solved for my S4 but I cant find that on my Ace 3 it just has, application manager and I can only reset the default in there

I dont know if this is cause I emergency restored my phone using kies and its fixed the issue or if when my phone was resetting it was deleting the dalvik cache or what I dont know will try google keyboard again and see how it goes
