MLB At Bat can't find location

EDIT: Solved. I re-enabled developer options, saw that "Allow Mock Locations" was turned on, turned it off, rebooted, and it worked. Mods, close if you'd like.
Hello all,
I'm having no luck whatsoever getting MLB At Bat to figure out where my phone is. I'm stock rooted, but had the same problem even when I re-locked the phone. It gets to a screen that says At Bat is having trouble determining my location, so it can't show the game. Things I've tried:
--Making sure location services are turned on
--Using cell data OR wifi
--Re-installing the app
--Fastboot re-installing the latest factory image (which I was already on anyway)
--OEM locking the phone
--setting my location with GPS-Fake
--ensuring via google maps my phone can find itself
--testing my AtBat account on my wife's identical N4
Nothing works. It's like the app doesn't ever do the loc check it says. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
John

Help S7Edge Nougat - Two finger scroll/tap (talkback off) won't go away

Hi together,
just was able to update to upgrade to Nougat. (O2 Germany)
I just have one big problem. I have to control the screen like Talkback is activated. But it isn't. (two finger scroll, tap and so on)
Does anybody have an idea how I get rid of that really annoying thing? If possible without factory reset. My Phone isnt rooted.
My Google and forum search hasn't helped me. The answers were always turn off Talkback, which it is already.

I had the same problem yesterday after the update, took some time to change back to normal behavior: restarted in safe mode, changed the resolution back to WQHD, changed some accessibility settings, like turning it on for Nova Launcher and turn off optical reader (I don't know why it was turned on...). After that I restarted to normal and seemed to work ok but then I turned on the accessibility feature optical reader again, too see what it does and the screen was only with 2 finger operable again, so I turned it off.
You can disable/remove Talkback in the application settings. Try in safe mode if it's not possible in normal mode. I tried to change the Talkback settings in the system settings (searched for Talkback) and it said in a pop-up that it isn't compatible with the system, so I removed it completely.

Thank you so much norti!!!!!!!!! Had the same issue with S7 (T-Mobile USA), and your advice helped!!! Actually, it was the only one I could find so far

Thank you Norti
Thank you so much. I had the same problem after performing the software update over night last night. I was so frustrated with it and the techs at the sprint store spent an hour with my phone and could not fix it. The techs recommended that I back up all my contacts and everything and then do a factory reset. I did not want to do a factory reset and searched the internet for a long time before coming across your post. I turned off optical reader and it fixed the two finger problem. Thank you so much for sharing this as I would have been lost without it.

Exactly the same happened with my S7 edge, almost drove me crazy before I figured out that it was Optical reader in accessibility that caused the problem.

That worked
Thank you for the correct fix post. Optical Reader off did it for me, too. Spent all morning wading through "Cool features of Nougat" and getting ready to break my S7 while calls were coming in...

I figured that it had to be the optical reader as that was one of the incompatible apps it reinstalled after the upgrade. Had to use two fingers to get through most menu-options, frustrating, to manage to disable it. Glad to see I wasn't the only ripping my Hair out experiencing this issue. Hope they fix it.

For future reference (in German):
This works:
Einstellungen > Eingabehilfe > "Text & Bildscanner": turn off ("Aus")

"Settings has stopped" and "Settings keeps stopping"

Hi, its my first time writing here, but not using this forum.
First of all, sorry if my english is not good enough.
I have a Nexus 6P stock, without root or anything. This week I installed Android 7.1.2 from google beta program, after that, I was having draining battery issue, so, I checked the battery usage and discover that the Wi-Fi never stop, then, after reading on some blogs about this problem and found that I should go to WiFi setting and disable some option in "keep wifi on sleep", however, when i click on setting key, always appear this messages "Settings has stopped" and "Settings keeps stopping". Things I did:
1) Disable Wi-Fi, try clicking on setting key - still the problem
2) Restart on safe mode - still the problem
3) clean the cache from recovery mode - still the problem
Any other suggestions without restoring the cell phone?
Thanks in advance

Hi... The gear icon force close... It's a bug in this beta version, nothing you should worry about.
However, I have no idea for your battery drain...

Have You tried with - Settings - Location - press the 3 dots - Scanning - And disableing everything there ?

So...if I can't access the wifi settings is there any way to disable the wifi optimization or otherwise prevent it from dropping a wifi connection that it detects has no internet?

Unfortunately the only thing that usually fixes that is a factory reset. And if that doesn't work it's a ROM issue. Even though it's a stock ROM it happens.

Your best bet is probably a factory reset at this point. Usually if Settings or another system app is crashing on Stock, something is pretty messed up. You could either opt out of the beta and it will wipe/downgrade for you, or you can download a factory image from Google and install it manually if you're so inclined.

I have the same issue on my s6 after it updated to Nougat. Settings crashes every time if I try to open wifi, no matter what. Already wiped system cache and started in safe mode, but the problem is still there. Has anybody figured out a solution to this?

Did you try what was suggested..... ?

I tried everything except factory reset, which I don't want to do yet.

I have this problem but I'm running Nougat on a stock "International" Samsung Galaxy S7.
I've tried factory resetting which fixed the issue for a while, but now it's come back.

Possible Fix Found!

I may have found a possible fix for this issue. Head over to this Android Central Thread where I've been discussing the issue with some other people.
Good luck!

verizon s7 rooted - won't connect to youtube or play store

hello. The title pretty much speaks for itself. I used Odin to root. non - 'google-fied' apps seem to have no problem connecting. Google apps give message not connected, try again. Everything else 'seems' to be working fine.
Also, do you think if i do the unroot thing, apply the verizon update that i just got today, then root again MIGHT fix this?
Ah, after talking to my son - he put this app on my phone - freedom. He says you can do in-app purchases for free in some apps. I uninstalled the program in case it might have some kind of interference running in the background. Still nada. I have rebooted and run a cleaner several times.
Can I get some advice please?
thank you
Mike

I have a hunch.
Check if your Date and Time and correct.
In Date and Time, uncheck automatic, and then recheck it.
Make sure the time on your upper notification bar is the same as the time when you pulldown the quick tiles.
Reboot
Profit

Only able to download apps with battery saver enabled

Has anyone managed to permanently resolve this issue yet?

Sadly, I have just encountered this same problem - had my Yoga Book for a couple of weeks only, ran through the Android (version) update(s) and chucked a load of my usual apps on......and then this issue manifested
Having read around, seems that the only/most reliable 'fix' is the Battery Saver toggle, which - frankly - is not good enough. Whatever gets 'suppressed' with this mode is the key - something is not playing nice, and it is restricted to no effect when Battery Saver is on.....but what??

To me the behaviour seems like the update apps function has been disabled with the wrong battery saver state

What exactly happens? I have not got this issue but have seen similar issues on other android devices. If the OS thinks there is an app drawing over the screen. The Install button will show but do nothing when you press it. This is normal behaviour and part of the security for Android. Otherwise an app could draw over the install button with something else to trick you into pressing Install. Battery save is probably a red herring. It just happens to be killing the app with draw over other apps permissions. Look what apps have that permission and then force close one by one till the install works again. That will tell you which it is.
Hope that makes sense.

What happens for me, and I have only had my YogaBook for a few weeks, is that any app you try to update/install from the Play Store just doesn't actually start downloading: You are able to click on the 'Update' or 'Install' button, but then all that happens is that the horizontal progress bar appears, states 'Downloading' but never actually starts/progresses - you can leave this screen in place for several minutes/until patience expires(!)
Only solution I have found is, as per others, to turn on Batter Saver in the settings menu, and the same install/update/download then more or less instantly commences to actually happen!
Very bizarre......some sort of power saving setting in relation to the 'Download Manager' service, I reckon.......but nothing empirical to back this up. However, without fail, toggling the Battery Saver option on instantly allows the download et al to happen.

I noticed - I have not found a clear pattern - that sometimes, apps are installing or updating without the battery saver mode being on. Not always, and again, essentially always battery saver mode fixes this. It seems like they install on battery saver off more often when my VPN is active, but again, it isn't consistent.

Well as i type its back to installing as normal and the only thing i can think of is that my device previously went to zero charge. There was a google apps update too so not sure if its to do with that either.

Its certainly a good hypothesis, however, if i turn battery saver off, i am instantly again not able to download from the play store.

Ok so gets more curios - i installed CCleaner and opening the app makes downloads resume.

Ok so i think i have solved it. In my case it was outlook - i uninstalled it and now can download apps fine

Ok so scratch that, back to usual behaviour. Thought it was touchpal keyboard but no

I've never been able to find a direct cause as to why this happens. I've tried everything, including a full stock flash of the firmware. Even full stock, it worked fine for a while, but the issue eventually resurfaced.
I believe the service that's affected is D2dTransportService - com.google.android.gms.backup.component.D2dTransportService within Google Play Services. For some reason, it becomes disabled, and even forcing it to be enabled through a services manager app doesn't keep it active. I had a lot more insight into this a while back, but have since stopped caring as nothing worked and Lenovo isn't going to fix anything at this point.
No idea what's going on, but as others have said, the battery saver toggle is the only surefire 'fix' at this point. Given everything else seems to be working as expected, I've let it go and just accepted this as the new norm, ha.

I had kinda given up too, as the battery saver toggle was a hassle but worked. The past few days, it hasn't been working however. I spent most of the morning disabling various apps and services just to get back to being able to use the battery saver workaround. I'm so annoyed with lenovo and won't suggest their stuff anymore.

Ok so it gets more curious - the downloading works as expected when running in safe mode. The only thing that I can see that isn't running in the processes monitor is under 'Google services'. I have managed to get the downloading working as normal with a combination of disabling various processes but I can't replicate the steps each time.

right so i've narrowed it down to swiftkey keyboard. removing swiftkey and clearing the data of the download manager has fixed my downloading issue. back to normal!

Hmmm, I haven't installed Swiftkey (or any other 3rd party keyboard) on my YogaBook, and have tried clearing Download manager data/cache previously, along with all the other Google Play related things (services etc.)......and no joy, still only manage to download/update from Playstore when the Battery Saver is enabled.
Interestingly, however, the tablet will always identify/notify of available updates.....this means that the connectivity in Playstore works partially at all times, it is just the actual download element it fails on!!!!!

No, just whatever is 'stock' - think that is Gboard, Google Voice typing and TouchPal

I'm bumping an old thread, but how do you get it in safe mode? I tried holding down the volume key on boot and it did not seem to work.
I thought at one point that, when I had SwiftKey installed, I started getting a lot more random reboots and also apps would not update even with battery saver. When I uninstalled it, apps started installing with battery saver again, but now I just re installed it, and they are still downloading with battery saver. So I still don't know, and now I'm not sure if it is causing the random reboots, either. Every once in a while I futz with it or else I just kind of let it be.

Try a "force stop" of the "Android Accessibility Suite" then start "Play Store" and see if updating now works.
