I'm getting the openfeint "offline" popup at the bottom of my screen even when I'm not playing games. How can I identify which app is using it so I can remove it? It seems kind of random but will often appear when I launch the play store.

I am experiencing frequent browser and music apps crashes. The music app crashes with an error dialog (The application Music has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again) while the browser crashes without and notification (the app just disappears and you are back to the desktop).
Is anyone experiencing the same? Any solution?
Thanks!
I'm getting browser crashes, so far it seems to be mainly on one site...of course the site that I probably visit most throughout the day. Very annoying.
yea the same has been happening for me as well. My browser is constantly crashing and sending me back to the desktop. Its really effing annoying. Its not only on one site ether its on a couple of different ones. Don't know what the cause is so i also don't have any solutions.

Some games will hold a saved state, so just pause the game and press the home button. Then just go back to the game's icon when you're ready to go back to it. That said I've had more than 1 that don't do that and its quite frustrating.

It's not the games fault, it's cause the play has such little ram, the OS will quickly close background applictions
As long as your not playing online just press home. To re-access the game, hold the home key and reselect the game icon.

I've noticed this issue with certain games no matter what, for example this pinball game I downloaded from the market a while ago, not even on my Play but my old Droid which has even less ram. Other games would pause and go back no problem, but the Pinball game, no way. Tried it on my tablet too and had the same issue. Its pretty annoying, not sure why that happens.
Also Android will freeze apps, but not close them, especially if it runs out of memory. You can still go back to it. The only time it closes them is if the app is idle for a long time.
Some games are designed to automatically close on exit to home screen.
However a lot of the games that are on the Xperia Play launcher allow a quick return via home key.
Since I've been using KitKat a website that I use often automatically loads the Play store to try to force me to use their not very good app.
If I try to swipe away the Play store then it crashes and I'm left no longer in the browser. As a result, I've suffered from random reboots and overheating.
I've managed to solve the problem by doing a factory reset and uninstalling the Playstore before using the website. I've got a copy of the Play store app which I install when needed, but always uninstall it before using the website that automatically loads it.
I now very rarely get reboots whereas before I was getting several a day and my tablet no longer overheats.
Does anyone know of a way of stopping a website automatically loading the Play store in KitKat?
Thanks

Hi,
Can you please tell what's the website? Sometimes it will ask either you'll open the Play Store or you'll use Play Store website, so you can try turning off defaults for Play Store via the app settings.

That or clear the defaults from the browser itself in manage apps under settings. Had to do this on two different phones from people at work the other day. When they clicked a link it came up with options on what to open with and they mistakenly hit 'always' when selecting the play store. Hope this helps

Here's an interesting one. MOJO has been fine for the longest time, but all of a sudden I'm finding the system locking up and needing a hard reboot when using the Google Play store.
This has only happened twice, but both very recently and both only when using the Play store. I've had to switch off the unit at the socket as the system is completely unresponsive.
Anyone else had this? I note that the Play store version I have is 8.0.73, and upon checking there are no updates available to it. Thanks all.
I'm guessing no then!
Well, I've cleared the Play Store's cache as well as the Google Play Services one, and now it seems to be saying it will download and install a new version of the Play Store. It doesn't seem to be in any kind of rush to do this however.
No freezes since clearing the caches, so hopefully once the store is updated that will be the end of it. Looking at the versioning numbers on the internet and it does seem that 8.0.73 is an older Play Store. Fingers crossed this is resolved. Will post back later.
Yep had this issue my self it's due to google play services likely outdated and or play store too, you will need to get to a working stage and then get into google, then type google play services update choose the play store webpage link for that result in google and click install button on the page for the google play services update choose open with google play store, then install it. This happens to tonnes of outdated devices not just the mojo phones and tv boxes and tablets all go through it if out of date.
Actually I had been using the ROM for over a year before it happened. It's happened once since last posting in fact, but I notice that my Play store is up to date, and I also notice that the Play store seemingly updates on its own following a freeze. So I wonder if it is anything to do with that.
May possibly have solved this. Was still getting freezes upon exiting the Play Store even after a re-flash of CM12.1 with up to date GApps. The whole console would just freeze up on returning to the desktop, so that would involve pressing back to exit the Play Store until returning to the main screen. But this didn't happen all the time.
Then it dawned on me that it might be the bloody launcher I set as default home. I mentioned elsewhere that I'm using TopTV Launcher which I have really enjoyed. So I changed it to my favourite phone/tablet launcher - Nova.
Bugger me if it hasn't been absolutely fine since.
I'm going to keep hammering the Play Store for the next few days/weeks, as the freezes seemed to specifically occur when the Play Store was updating. But hopefully this is solved. /fingers crossed.
Lol no, crashes be back! Bit different on Nova Launcher. I exited the Play Store and then got "Unfortunately, Nova Launcher has stopped", rather than an outright freeze. Tried to re-select a different home/launcher, but got the same thing. "Trebuchet has stopped" etc. I had to fudge a route to the shutdown app by just pressing keys on my wireless keyboard, otherwise it was stuck in a loop. There's definitely something going on with Play Services imho. I've also tried clearing the cache and other solutions but to no avail. My Play Store is up to date too so it's not that.
The most interesting solution I've read so far is that Play Services gets jittery if it doesn't find certain apps installed, such as Maps etc. Now I do have a pretty pared down set installed. Maybe I'll try installing more Google apps, but isn't the point of rooting and flashing these devices so that you can control what you install? What's the point if I still end up installing all the crap I don't need anyway?
Still, I'll perhaps give it a go - or otherwise just throw either the MOJO or myself off a building!
Hi, I've been using POCO M3 for about a month now, and lately, I've been dealing with pop-up ads and invisible ads that throw me into a browser or play store. They're not in-app ads, it's frustrating since it pops out of nowhere, whether I use the phone (typing message in whatsapp) or in an idle state (screen on).
Please help!

You might need to reset the phone to factory settings.
But firstly go into the browser settings and see what you can delete like cookies, browsing records, anything you can delete.
I only use Samsung Internet Browser with Adblock Plus and I believe it's the best solution after many years of trying anything.
