Hi, my device is unrooted fyi. So, for whatever reason my samsung watch on app has updated every day for the past week. Its getting annoying. Is there a reason why an app would continue to be flagged for an update even after an update has been performed? Any tips for avoiding this? Help is appreciated, thx.
I've been seeing the same thing, except it actually is an update.
Yeah, that's just Samsung updating it almost every day.
There seems to be a plague of blank screen issues. I haven't seen the issue myself but reading through the comments it appears there are quite a few people experiencing it.
I honestly like to see constant updates rather than one every so often. I wish Google would do the same. I have gapps force closes all the time since they did their last batch of updates.

For those who were using any storm8 game when u had stock 2.1, then updated to any leaks, you might have noticed that all those games stopped working.
Just updated to the OTA and now all of a sudden, the apps work, im no longer stuck at the login screen even if username and password are correct and resulted in login failures.
Since we don't have insanely good games like on the iPhones, this makes due til the android market beefs up with better games.

I never noticed problems with Kingdoms Live. I only ran the first 2.2 leak, though.
I have this exact issue. The reply from Strom8 is below:
Storm8 Support said:
Hi John,
It's the specific implementation of 2.2 on the phone. Instead of generating a unique ANDROID_ID when the device is first run or factory reset (the intended behavior), it uses a predefined ANDROID_ID for every phone with the same implementation. Addressing this ought to allow for normal gameplay.
Yours,
Storm8 Support Fox

Hopefully what you are saying about the OTA update fixing it means there is hope. Unfortunately for me as a T-mobile users I am not going to hold my breath waiting for the OTA of 2.2 on my Vibrant. It was promised months ago and actually getting is is still not something I see happening soon.
All -
Just wanted to see if anyone else was having an issue where after a manual 2.3.4 update the Nexus S will regularly "go white" (lose google server connection) and then reconnect throughout the day more than normal?
It's getting annoying not having my emails pushed on time and don't know if I need to reflash the 2.3.3 radio then let the OTA do its thing.
THanks!
I have the same symptom.
However, mine started since 2.3.3
For some reason, I used to think was related to me logging in Google Chrome
web browser with the same account as my phone uses, but I don't think that
was really the cause. ( I'm not talking about just gmail website log in, I'm talking
about literally the sync of Google Chrome web browser with my gmail account that
I use on my phone.)
Even after the update to 2.3.4, its stilll the same.
Random loss of google server connection and remaining in white for brief time.
I did factory reset few times just to see if it'd fix, but no luck, yet.
I've been having this issue too ever since I got on 2.3.4. It doesn't seem to happen when I'm on wifi though. I got my update over the air too, if that matters.

It's been happening to me for a while as well. Even back in 2.3.3 when I was on CM7 and OEM. I seriously think it's a problem on Google's side and they really need to address it because it keeps logging me off of Gtalk which is annoying.
I'm having the same problem since April 14, I've tried everything flashing stock 2.3.1-2-3-4, CM7, changing Apn setting, changing my sim card, factory resets and nothing works.
This is definitely coming from Google's side, please post in the google help forums to get the word out to google, this is a serious problem.

myself have noticed this since 2.3.4 although I think it's google end not the rom itself.
don't like it because the more often it happens... the more your battery is used...
hope it's not our carriers...

There's a thread on this in the help forums but since I'm a n00b i can't post the link here. Search for the help thread titled "Nexus S Google connection on & off "
Thanks! Let's get this fixed.
Four months ago this thread was created. Still not a word from Google.
If you go to Google's help forum here: http://www.google.vu/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=7c7a962fd3ae87e2&hl=en
You can see that the last response from anyone at Google was from 2 months back. This issue need to be fixed, but it looks like Google could care less. Maybe if we get the word out to Android Central and other Android blogs, or even Gizmodo or Engadget Google will actually take notice and try to fix this.
mine was related to my carrier... fixed it though
might be the same for you?
I had that problem, but was fixed when google released a server update months ago, never had a disconnect since.

anything you did specifically yesterday? install an app. do an update?
also has anyone tried factory resetting their phone?
I got my Airave a few days ago and I am constantly disconnected from Google's servers unless I am on wifi. The stupid thing about that is my Airave connects directly to my modem before the router. This is telling me it must be a carrier thing.
I'm seeing something similar but it has to do with switching between 3g and wifi. The green doesn't come in for like 3 to 4 minutes. If I launch gtalk it sits there at logging in and nothing happens.

I'm willing to conclude based on the widespread nature of this issue that it's an issue on Google's end that has recently been affecting a larger number of people.
I've never had this issue before.. and recently it's started. In fact, I even have seen a few FC's (force closes) of the Google Apps process which I had never seen before. I'm on stock 2.3.4 BTW.
Ever since the update to Pandora with the refreshed UI, it FCs and locks up my phone any time I run it. If I leave my phone alone, the songs will play like they should, but as soon as I unlock my screen, the first song that played when I opened Pandora is still listed as the current track, and the "Wait or Close" dialog box is up. And then I have to pull my battery, because nothing happens when I hit either Wait or Close.
Is anyone else having this issue or know of a solution? I'm on a Verizon rooted/busyboxed/debloated S5 and Pandora worked perfectly with it until the update. So I'm doubting that it's the phone.
Thanks,
Z
I'm having the exact same issue with Pandora on my S5. Not too happy about it either since I pay for Pandora One and primarily use Pandora through my phone. I emailed them today about the issue. I'll update this when I get a reply from them.
There's quiet a few 1 star reviews in the Google Play store after the most recent update, complaining about the same issue, so the problem seems pretty widespread.

Thank´s
Pandora 5.7 is malfunctioning on rooted S4
Same issue on my rooted S4 running hyperdrive, except, it continues playback but it black screens when touchresponse freezes! I also have to battery pull and it sucks! Pandora Dev's!!!! Quit trying to be like IHeartRadio!!!!!! you guys were the first! just keep it simple and try not to sacrifice sound quality, speed or selection for appearance...no one cares when they use it on their phone...We set the station, plug in the AUX cable and walk away! that's it! one more thing, I know it's not because we're rooted because there are many people experiencing the same issue who are not rooted and customed rommed!!!! I would suggest that you investigate what it is with samsung phones that are interfering with your new "5.7" build?!?!?!.... sounds like most of us samsung user's are going to switch over to IHeartRadio or Spotify until you fix this trainwreck! Thanks.
I got a reply from Pandora support last night, asking for some more info (android version, phone version, carrier, etc) and further description of the issue so that they can forward it to the engineering team.
I responded this morning, so we'll see how long it takes to hear back from them.
Sickbox9, I forgot to mention in my original post that my s5 is rooted (but not running a custom rom). Like your said, I highly doubt that's the issue tho since non rooted users are having the exact same problems.
same problem here. I am running an adblocking hosts file and I thought that could be the cause.
has anyone tried rolling back to 5.6?

Wonder what's in it besides security fixes?
Its about 353.7mb,but for some reason it wont download. Its downloading,just needed a restart
One thing i can tell you is that the upgrading has changed,instead of the green android showing up when its installing,its now a multi colored circle. When phone restarts from install,the final upgrade look has changed as well
Still doesn't fix messages lag since 7.0 that's highly annoying and I don't even use this line that much for it.
Also for awhile I randomly get Amazon photos has crashed, but I don't even have it installed haha

I get that as well and I have it disabled
I don't think I have gottin the Amazon crash with the newest update but I well could have I have just came to except it. :/ Before the newest update it seemed to happen most for me right after plugging in the charger. And also I have all the Amazon crap disabled so it's rather odd.

Sprint just says Android Security Patches
My Note 4 suddenly freezes and releases often. I booted into safe mode and I still get the same problem but not as frequently. I did a reset from os level and also wiped cache. Still randomly freezes. Anything else I can try?
You battery may be starting to fail. I recommend getting a new one

Thx for the reply. I forgot to add that I tried with another battery - freeze and release continues. But the other battery was a little old - not a new one.
Since last firmware update, Note 3 and Note 4 started to experiment those kind of problem along with shutting down when at about 20% of battery... Is Samsung forcing us to upgrade???

Wow!! That would be illegal isn't it?
I bought a brand new Anker Battery hoping that it is the battery. But, Alas, No!! Still Freezes and Releases.
I should write in Samsung Forum as well, if anybody even cares anymore!!
UPDATE:
I read in another thread it was the Google App (the one with G written bigly). I cannot remove it as I am not rooted. So I disabled it (it replaces it with a factory supplied version), it will not appear in the list of apps.
Touch wood: The problem seems to have gone now. :good: :victory:
I am puzzled that an update for a Google App can render the phone useless - hope someone from Google is reading this!

Sorry, spoke too soon!! Uninstalling Google App did improve it a little bit but infrequent freeze still persists. I heard that another friend of mine who has Note 5 also has infrequent freezes. Samsung seems to be the culprit here as mentioned in the other thread.

I installed an app called "WakeLock" - Free from Google Store. I chose Option 4 - Partial Wakelock from Options!! It solved ALL Freeze and Release problems. It does make your phone drink more juice than usual - but it is worth it.
A friend of mine has Note 5 and he has same freeze and release issues. Not buying any more Samsung for a long time!!
Please note that my symptoms were different than the other long running thread.
