Amazon Alexa app crashes in all custom ROMs I have tried. I have tried clearing cache, uninstalling, etc, etc. but the same bad behavior remains. Runs fine if I revert to stock. Anyone else run into this?
Same here. I am on newest lineageOS.
Yep, that is my experience as well.
I use the alexa app on my stock tablet and have removed it from custom roms on my phone.
Haven't found a workaround yes but would appreciate one.
Works fine here on Dirty Unicorns on 3 devices and SAOSP on another.
Try turning off cellular data when trying to use the app. Any problems I have had with the Alexa app have been solved with this, doesn't seem to work well with it.

Will try that tonight. Thanks for the idea.
I will post my results.
At least I am not alone in this.
The regular pre conversations app works for me on all devices, however it does not when I add a phone number. Basically I have a problem with the new conversations. It starts to load I get all icons then a faint conversations label and then it crashes. I have tried almost all ROMs available for my moto x pure, no exaggeration. I am using DU at the moment and it does not work. Amazon thought it may be that I did not have an activated SIM card and had no data. So, I purchased and activated SIM card after having phone for almost 2 years and data does not help. Turning data off changes nothing for me as well. My sons phone is a samsung stock and his SIM card has never been activated but it works fine.
I also have been having troubles with TP-Link Kasa the most recent update is causing it to act the similar. It simply ignores my sign in. I have come to conclude their is a security validation check being used by amazon and tplink.
This kind sucks...I don't know why certain apps does this. Android was built on open source however I notice slowly they are closing Windows/doors.
Alexa app crashing solved for me!
Whenever I would hit the listen button the app would crash, if this is one of your symptoms try turning off notifications, it worked for me, found the answer in a post for Miui phones.
Ime using MaxiCM(CyanogenMod-Mod) on 5.1.1 and for me it crashed as soon as i logged in and it got Internet, using the App offline works fine but yea, no use for it.

I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue on the N10 as well or if I just got a fluke.
Front / Back camera worked for first 5 minutes out of the box. After going to a different application and trying to get back to camera, camera app fails to connect. Restart tablet, same problem. Force close gallery/camera app, wipe data/cache for the app and re-open. Same error, camera no longer displays at all.
Factory reset, camera works for a few minutes, try to open it again after leaving, crashes the same way. No third party apps can access camera either. Tried many factory resets, even with only gApps installed same camera prob.
Waiting for RMA now, but has anyone else run into this or something similar? :crying:

I had this exact problem on my galaxy nexus. I finally pinned it down to an app that controlled the LED (like a flashlight, or torch app). I removed it and it worked fine after that.
Yup looks to be a 3rd party app since it works after factory reset. I would reset it again but choose not to have it reinstall the apps automatically. Then just do the process of elimination until you find the problomatic app. Worth a shot.

Thanks for the advice but I've factory reset multiple times and have only gApps installed, same thing happens :laugh:
I'm having the same problem, both front and back camera are not working properly. I'll try factory reset later this day.
Do you have the cameras working already?
I'm having the same issue too. Today's the first day with my Nexus 10, and right out of the box the Camera doesn't work. Never loaded even once.
Has anyone else had this issue and was able to fix it?
Same problem here! Do you think rooting and flashing CM might solve the issue?
Same here. It seems its only the stock camera tho. I installed 2 different cameras from Play Store & both those work perfect. Camera ICS+ & HDR+ both worked for me.

I tried these apps but it's still not working for me. Hope it's not hardware related. It worked the first day I had my nexus.
EDIT: Installing CyanogenMod solved the issue =)
EDIT 2: Well it actually solved it for just a day or two, now it's back!
I'm also having this issue too it seems. Created a post about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251337 and thought it was related to my rooting of the tablet since it worked okay before I tried that. Currently on 4.2.0 stock and OEM locked and the issues is still there, starting to think it's a hardware issue.

Definitely a hardware issue. I did an RMA with Google ...the new device they sent me has no issues.
Try that if your device is still under warranty! Google is pretty good at getting replacements sent to you within a week!
Turns out it wasn't a hardware issues, the problem I was having was apparently related to the sync of contacts which for some reason completely disabled the camera until such a time as the contacts were synced.
Situation
Bought Nexus 4 refurbished, works great except for this issue. Back speaker works great, Google Search works with mic (Ok Google). Updated via OTA all the way to 5.0. Am using phone on a carrier in Ecuador.
Problem
When making a phone call over the local carrier, call connects (you can see the counter on screen), music, if playing, pauses as it should. But no audio from the earpiece, and the other side does not hear anything from my side. Tried putting call on speaker, nothing. Tried with headphones, nothing. However, when making a Hangouts call over data, mic/earpiece work fine. To me, this means the hardware functions, so it must be software related. The phone sends SMS without issue, so it works with the local carrier. Also data works without any issue.
What I've done so far
Searched high and low, and it seems this is a somewhat common problem that some have fixed in many different ways. Please let me know if you know of another that I may have missed.
Downgrading to 4.4.4
Upgrading back to 5.0
Factory Reset
Flash 5.0 Factory image
Upgrade to 5.0.1
Flash complete 5.0.1 Factory image
Flashed latest CM11 nightly
Tried several "solutions" found on Google Group forum, such as pluging headphones in and out
Flashed Hybrid modem with included audio fix
Switched SIM cards
Installed SoundAbout, and tried many different options - redirecting Phone Audio, even changing options for Headset detection (thought the phone was confused, thinking the headphones were in)
Tested mic with recording apps and by recording videos, all work fine.
Installed PAC-ROM without Gapps to see if it was the Google Play Services issue
Disabled the CheckInService
I think I've tried more, but can't remember them all. It's been over a week, and can't answer or make phone calls.
Coming to my wits end, and it's extremely frustrating since it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue, and I hate giving up on something I can fix. Any suggestions?
(Edited and added a couple more tests to the list)
yep, you are not the only one with this issue, it started to plague users just recently, including me and from what i've learned so far it has got something to do with google play services.
however for me, flashing 5.0/5.0.1 resolved it (i only encountered it on CM4.4.4 )
here is another topic bout this. good luck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/audio-call-nexus-4-cm11-t2924589
ps. this thread i linked above acutally contains some solution/workaround involving disabling one of the google play services. just read through the whole thread
If this is really about Google Services, try installing a ROM without adding GApps. You can then state if they are really the culprit here.
I too had the exact same problem. I was on CM 4.4.4 nightlies. Moving to stock lollipop5.0 solved the problem.

I tried that too. I installed PAC-ROM, the latest nightly, without GAPPS. Booted fine, all seems to be working except sound in calls.
I also tried disabling the CheckIn Service, as was mentioned in the other thread, still no luck. So frustrating!!
I'll try them all again...
HijoProdigo,
+1 on flashing a 5.0 ROM.
Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks back. After messing with the phone for three days, flashing a Lollipop ROM solved the issue (I used CM12 unofficial nightlies)

I'll give it a try. I had tried with the official CM11, both with and without Gapps, but no luck.
Ive tried all the major roms including the stock rooted ones and the custom ones by jrkruse and others. One thing remains clear, we still havent figured out how to fix lollipop's bluetooth cache problems. This happens on all of them and on many different sound systems ive tested.
Ever since switching to Lollipop, the MUSIC app sends the correct track info to bluetooth..... UNTIL i use another app like dropbox or pandora to play a sound, then when i go back to MUSIC it gets stuck on the wrong track info.
It also happens when i do a voice search with google now or sometimes with my Volkswagen's voice search. Its a problem with Lollipop's bluetooth app cache. When I go into bluetooth in app manager and manually force stop and clear cache then reconnect, everything is fine until i try using another app again. Never happened before Lollipop. Kitkat must have automatically cleared its cache whenever another app took control of sound output, which makes sense. I feel like this should be the next big thing to work on for custom ROMs. Ive seen a lot of people having the issue but I dont see anyone working on it.
Hello, I have a stock rooted N6p with ElementalX kernel and that's it so far. I am ugrading from a Nexus 5 and using the transfer process of the phone to import all my apps.
I noticed that somewhere in the 120+ apps transferring I have an app that's causing a bug which is that when the screen is off the volume buttons on the phone do not work, same for my headphones, standard sennheiser momentums with mic. The mic input for voice works though.
To narrow what's causing the bug I have gone back to full stock with and without the kernel and it is definitely an app having that problem, it comes back during the mass import before I install the kernel or root so everything is full stock at the point it's happening.
Does anyone knows of a way to find what app would be causing the problem without having to remove and reinstall and test and/or reboot for each ones ? I have removed the most probable causes with all audio apps and it is not anything like Spotify or any other players. So right now I'd prefer not to have to spend hours manually finding what's the problem.
Any ideas are appreciated
You can try to reboot to safe mode first. On safe mode, your 6P will be as good as new, as if no other apps are installed in it. If the issue persists, consult your doctor, lol JK. Try uninstalling one app at a time starting with the ones that you suspect.
Perhaps checking app permission and denying them one by one for different apps could be faster, compared to uninstalling apps. Worth a try.
I figured that I have a bug with being locked or not, when screen is off & no lock mechanisms like fingerprints then I cannot use the volume buttons, either on phone proper or headset. We are a bunch of users having this problem on google's bugs website, I fixed this by implementing the fingerprinting locks thank you for your suggestions

Hi XDA Fam,
My father's RN7 is acting weird and I'm not there in person to troubleshoot but would like to seek simple suggestions to diagnose the issue. Everything is working fine but the phone is not able to download any stuff from either browser or the email attachments. Even the Play Store app updates are stuck in pending and not progressing to downloading / installing however any media downloads in WhatsApp are working perfectly fine.
I was able to circumvent the problem once by clearing all data from the downloads app and it worked on a couple of occasions but the issue keeps on popping up every now and then. Can some one please advise what can the problem be and its solution? Factory reset is not an option for now.
The phone is running Stock MIUI 12.5 ROM based on Android 10.
I would appreciate all your inputs - thank you!!
