Hello all. I'm not much of a developer myself but I know a decent amount about Android apps. I've been having trouble with Snapchat recently on my 6P. Lots of times, especially when on the actual camera page of Snapchat, the app is very unresponsive, it crashes, and it won't function or take pictures. I recently realized that this usually happens when Facebook Messenger is open and I try to use Snapchat at the same time. I suspect this is because Facebook Messenger keeps the camera open at all times and so does Snapchat (I believe that is well-known). I can't post the screenshot but the bottom menu bar of Messenger has a camera icon which instantly brings up an inline camera window for quickly taking and sending pictures. I can't confirm this because I'm not sure how to detect if an app has a lock on the camera but this is my theory. Has anyone else experienced this or possibly looked into it? Thanks guys.
I never recognized this because every time a app wants to use camera or sth like that i must allow it,
(but then its not a fast feature anymore ).
But im not really understand your problem, or is it necessary for you that both apps are running at the same time?
By the way, are you running stock or a rom? Rooted?

The problem is I often use both apps at the same time so this suspected camera lock problem slows my phone to a crawl and causes Snapchat to be unusable when I have FB Messenger running.

Hi everybody, since I am on lollipop, there is this annoying lag when opening recent apps. I think everybody has this. In my case it takes between 3 to 5 secs until it opens. I can't stand that.
I already have chainfire s recent app installed but that doesn't work in my case.
My question is, if somebody has a fix or can give me a link to another Rom where the recent apps opens fast?
Help would be appreciated!
Regards

So you say that you never had a lag on lollipop, when opening recent apps?
That's strange!
Am I the only person with this problem?

Never, I tested it last night by opening about 15 apps, then hitting the home button after opening each one, so they all ended up as recent apps - then once back on the home screen, I hit the recent apps button and in under half a second it opened fine, nice smooth scrolling between them
The only thing that takes a bit longer to open for me, is the gallery, which is about 1-2 seconds opening time instead of instant, probably because I have hundreds of images saved
I'm using NOVA Launcher Prime if that makes any difference, TouchWiz is a laggy POS anyway, first thing I disable
Thanks for the info, perhaps nova is the cause, I will try that
@"detection"
Can you tell me if the Samsung widgets work on nova? Especially weather and splanner widget?
I have most of the Samsung bloat disabled / frozen so can't test
But I would imagine so, give it a try, NOVA is free, but you can buy the Prime version if you want extras, but for general use, the free version does everything and more than stock TouchWiz, and is 10x faster
Don't know if anybody else is having this issue but ever since updating to 6.0.1, whenever I post something to Instagram or SnapChat the pic/video does not save to my 6P. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the apps. I have given the apps all the permissions. I have also disabled all apps from being able to perform a screen overlay over other apps which was a message I would get when trying to give the apps permissions to storage.
I still have the original Instagram and SnapChat folders on my 6P with photos in them before the 6.0.1 update but nothing is being saved to them ever since Don't know if there's anything else I can do or have to wait til Instagram or SnapChat release an update to fix the issue. Seems to be a few other people complaining about it from reading recent reviews of the apps.
Thought I'd check here if anyone had any solutions. Thanks

Yeah it's probably something Snapchat needs to fix. It's one of the drawbacks to being on the cutting edge. I don't know what you have tried already but you may try and booting to recovery and clearing cache. I would assume if your camera saves photos to the gallery then all is normal, besides your Snapchat.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll try that and see what happens. Yeah, no problems with pics/videos from the camera from being saved. And I actually am using an App called Instagram Photo Saver which allows me to save Instagram photos to my device which Google Photos is saving but the photos saved by the app are at a much lower resolution. But yes, SnapChat when I toogle enable storage access to SnapChat it does say "This app was designed for an older version of Android. Denying permission may cause it to no longer function as intended." Unfortunately, it's not working as intended either way.

Do you know if there is an issue using Snapchat filters on the 6P? I am getting a message that the device isn't supported.
Hello,
First of all, sorry for my bad english i'm french....
My problem is that since i got this S8, i have a big issue on snapchat every time i put the geofilters (you know the filters for cities for example) in my picture it seems good but when i see after on my story or from the phone of a friend my filters are everytime bugged and blurring....
But when i uninstall and re-install it from play store this blur disappear for one time and after it restart to be blurring... when i only delete both cache and data it not works i have to uninstall and re-instal... i'm really annoyed with that thing and i found nothing on google or xda about it this is why i will post this on S8+ forum too
Anyone have a solution ? Maybe it's with the screen 18/9 ? Anyone had succeed to disable the full-screen for snapchat ?
Recently I am having notification delays with my S7 Edge G935F. I have read through some posts on this forum and other sources and can't figure it out.
Here are some of the problems:
1. notifications are often delayed for more than thirty minutes
2. if I want to manually check notification when it does not pop up, unlocking the screen does not make the notification show, I have to actually launch the specific app to see the notification
3. It is more than just not showing the notification, when I am using some instant messaging apps (like WeChat), I can't see new messages coming in while the app is running in the front. I have to press the home button and get back to home screen, then re-enter the app, then the messages show up. This happens to many other apps as well.
4. Other things go wrong as well. For example, my Android Auto was set to launch whenever I get into my car and car bluetooth is connected. It is also delayed, by more than hours. It often launches long after I finish my driving and get back home sitting on my couch.
5. Downloading new apps from Play Store has problems as well. It downloads to 100% and just stops there, it does not start installation. I have to use Settings->App to kill Play Store and re-open it to "refresh" it, then it starts to install.
6. After installation of new app, it does not show up on my screen or app draw inside my launcher. I can see the app installed in Play Store. I have to kill launcher and re-open the launcher to make it "refresh" the app list then I can see new app inside the app draw.
I have also tried a lot of ways to fix it:
1. change app to not battery optimized -> didn't fix it
2. update firmware -> didn't fix it
3. factory reset -> works for the first day then it goes wrong again
4. flash to a different firmware (official ROM in different regions) -> works for the first day then it goes wrong again
5. use third-party ROM (Lineage OS) -> completely fix the problem, but too buggy to use
I can see the general idea of what's going wrong, some events happened (connected to car Bluetooth, new messages coming, app finished downloading, new app installed, etc.) and the system is not responding correctly. I am not very familiar with Android development but I feel like something is wrong with the "event handling" or "event raising" inside Samsung's Android system.
Please post reply if you have any idea or are facing the similar problems.
EDIT:
The phone is on Android 7.0, Build Number NRD90M.G935FXXU1DQER
You've stated that flashing the custom ROM solved the problem, so maybe you should try flashing a different rom that's a bit more stable.
From personal experience i can recommend the SuperStock rom. It's stock (obviously) and it's debloated and very stable with pretty good battery life as far as i remember.
there is some info about it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/want-to-root-custom-one-stay-stock-t3631098?styleid=18 (ignore the root part).
Hi,
did you find any solution to this problem ? cause i got the same problem, and i'm going crazy... few months already and can't figure out what is the problem...
the temporary fix i've found is disabling the "google app" in application manager... it fix the problem but i can't use any Google app features (and i like using them...).
I've found few ppl experiencing the same problem searching on internet but no one with a real fix...
if someone more experienced can help debut this it would really mean a lot...
I think it is the battery optimization setting. You may check the settings>battery>advanced settings>optimize apps. You need to keep the apps un-optimized if you want the notifications and sync.
Also, you may check if Sync is on or off.
If these two does not solve, factory reset if you are on stock ROM. If on a custom ROM, you may check a different ROM
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Actually none of this works... The only thing that "fixes" the issue is disabling the Google app in the application manager... That's why its so weird...
The problem started around July/August 2017 for me...
As i discovered that disabling Google was fixing the problem, i assumed that they'll correct it by updating the app... But only one update of the app was ok, all others would make the problems reappear...
Messing with battery optimization settings doesn't change anything for me... Factory reset as well... The problem comes back as soon as the google app gets updated...
Try clearing cache and deleting data from the Google app the time the problem occurs
already tried... doesn't help at all...
Hello. I recently bought the Nubia Z17, really really happy with it. But there is issues with it which I have tried to solve but haven't suceeded.
The biggest issue:
I do not get notifications constantly, just sometimes. Snapchat, Messenger and Facebook pops up when they want to, but its very rare. Gmail never pops up, and never syncs in the background. I have tried to fix this by changing the settings in the NeoSafe app, but it doesnt want to work.
An annoying issue:
Also, a problem that happens when the phone gets cold. It feels like its pressing the left button by it self, the ''open app-drawer'' pops upp all the time and when i press it down it pops up again. I live in Sweden, and its currently only -5 outside, and China have that weather too, so why is it a problem?
An issue which I can't understand:
Also, I sometimes having trouble downloading apps from Play Store, I have tried to solve this and it is mostly solved by removing cache from the app, but same thing keeps happing after a while.
Anyone got any tips or solutions? I think I have the chinese rom with google services installed. Works great overall, fast, smooth and nice screen. I would like to avoid flash another rom into it or restore it.
Thanks.
i got the same problem on my z17s.... i have to let the app opened in multitask to have the notification, lucky i have 6gb of ram....i tried with neosafe and app settings but still the same...
if you have your phone rooted you can convert the apps (WhatsApp ...) as Systemapp. I did it with LuckyPatcher. With Titaniumbackup works that too. But I have had problems that the app was gone.
Give it a try
Here the same problem with my Z17s ... also tried to enable the apps in the "performance mode" in the power management, also no luck for some apps (although whatsapp works fine).

Hi, I also recently got my z17, I was very excited to finally have a "flagship" phone. I encounter the same problem. I have tried everything said here, but what I did kinda worked. So I did a factory reset. Once reset and log in in the google app 1st, and then the play store, I downloaded the apps, but before opening the apps for the 1st time I went directly into the permissions section in settings and allow just about everything, I did the power performance and the network performance, then I opened the apps and I went into the apps settings to allow notifications. Like I said, it kinda work. I don't get FB notifications as often, but I do get gmail.
I had thought that it was a restriction of background data, but apparently is not.
Now, I cannot sync my google calendar with my gmail account in the phone. When I download the app and I open it it has a [email protected] account...and that is not me, I cant change it or anything. Do you know how to fix it?
Check if you have Neo Safe or something named like that. It acts as a security manager for your device. Its also able to block notifications. I think I changed some settings there and then it started to work.
