Hey guys
This is something new! Never seen it before! Anywhere!
After 4.4.2 update, my google chrome is having a problem.
I think the screen shot below is clear!
"Sooo, i cant upload pictures with my tab using chrome!!! This is another issue i guess!!!
The screen shot is a black screen, with a new tab icon only on top, whitch is not working, nothing else. Not a chrome logo in the midle, nothing"
It happens every time i run chrome, i have to end the app, (i have a commad for it in gmd gesture control)
Then remove it from recent apps then run it again to maks it work.
I unistalled all of its updates, cleared apps cash and data. Reinstalled updates, none helped.
In 4.2.2, when i opened the app, it used to show my favorites and i could open a new tab, or open my fav tabs.
Can anyone help?
Any suggestions?
As many know the beta went live for Sprint, Unlocked, and T-Mobile customers earlier today so I thought (since I didn't see one posted already) that a thread of our experiences with it so far would be nice to have.
So far here is a list of bugs some comments have posted in this thread:
Laggier than Nougat
Live Messages force close
Adhell2 frequent force closes
Bluetooth fails to turn on until reboot
Random reboots
Personally, it feels snappier in nearly all operations when using Nova Launcher Prime, but it's when I switched back to TouchWiz that I've noticed that it feels much more responsive than it did before. It feels much better.now and I'm going to use Touchwiz for a few days and see if it's worth using now.
The one area I was really hoping that would have seen an improvement would be swiling to the right for Bixby, which feels worse now somehow. While Bixby seems a little better when activating with voice, and the new interface for Bixby home does look nicer (personal opinion, obviously) the actually swiping is still a slow mess.

its kinda laggy. lots of apps have been force closing. battery life has been pretty good tho
Keep getting an app called mobile downloader in notification panel up to the left, can't clear it can only snooze it, wtf, I like a tidy left notification panel especially on the left
Sent from my SM-G955U using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I got this also on sprint, I just forced closed it. Comes back with a reboot but whatever, the notification is gone
I like a tidy notification panel/Status bar as well and I'm now noticing more than usual notifications that I don't like:
"so and so app is running in the background" and I can't disable it. That's annoying.

I'm on T-Mobile. You may need to do a cache clear and reboot it. I know that can clear up lag after an update sometimes. Always worth a shot if you haven't already.

It's stable, has silly bugs but on a whole it's much to do about nothing.
It's not a case of Samsung at all, it's android itself. Google just don't bring much to the table anymore
samsung keyboard forced closed but came back in a reboot, usually use gboard though, so im going back to that
I have been running 8.0 Beta 1 for about 8 hours now, and have also reverted back to TouchWiz from Nova so I can view the full experience. So far, everything is faster. No issues with any content or apps already loaded from 7. I have only noticed one small, split-second glitch so far, and that was an animation delay returning to the Home screen from using an app. 30 apps sitting in Recents right now, so could have happened just the same on 7. Regardless, I am completely content, and have already forgotten that were talking about a beta, let alone Beta 1. Surprisingly good job Samsung, and I'm still in shock that we even have Oreo already, to be honest... Looking forward to further testing and the finished release.
My S8 is my only cellphone phone , I consider myself a Android enthusiasts. I love tweaking settings.and I'm always on my phone. Do you think the beta is stable enough ? to install theOreo beta i have already downloaded it I just want to see, if the apps are closing , crashing, buggy ,rebooting ect. The occasional hiccup will be no big deal thanks in advance for your response
Does anyone else's Live Messages force close while using the messaging app? I ask because I previously installed the Note 8 Live Messages mod before I installed the Oreo Update and I'm not sure if that may be the reason why it is now force closing.

Personally it has been snappier with no app crashes. I have had Facebook crash and some other app I don't remember, but it was something else I had installed and not a major component and it has only been once for both, but Facebook had issues all week since I re-enabled it. It has just now been working better (POS app anyway.)
That and the annoying to me notification panel are the only things. No bugs, lag, etc but I can't speak on battery yet... So far it seems in line, but I don't really know until tomorrow.

No problems with Messages here, but I haven't modded it from the Note app so I dunno, and this version doesn't have the Live messages feature still, so I'm going to guess that might be the issue there.

It still isn't as fast at going back to home as other apps, but it's a far better transition than it has been.

Ok, phone just rebooted while sitting at my desk. Nothing was going on and the last app I had opened was dialer. Hoping that doesn't turn into a trend.

thought poweramp was not working, turns out it had lost my music folder on the sd card and I had to point it at it again.
How is the battery life?
I have been experiencing the same issue. Whenever I select it on the keyboard the message "Live Messenger has closed" appears and the phone just vibrates on me. I tried a reboot to get it to work and still no change. I am also constantly getting "New Messaging Features" appearing in my message bar, over and over and when I click "Start" I do not get the code and get it completely registered. Not sure if that is adding to the issue as well.

i'm mostly happy with this tablet, rooted with one of the great tutorials on this site (kingoroot then supersu), and I've added Google services/play store. I have a few small glitches though so I thought I'd set them down here and see if anyone else has them, and if there are any fixes. Mostly they are trivial, and some are just general questions.
(I bought the pro version of titanium backup so i could freeze some of the amazon processes (I don't really want any of them; i'll never use them so they're just going to waste battery; get in the way of nova launcher etc). I've been very careful with what I froze and "pm disable"d though.)
1) If i go to settings/storage and select internal or sd card it shows me the page briefly then goes back to the storage page.
2) When I click on settings/power/battery I don't get a graph of battery usage. Is this normal? Usually you can see how long ago you charged it, which apps have use battery etc.
3) There's no settings/accounts/google so how can I see which Google apps are syncing?
4) I had to sideload Netflix. Is this normal (for a rooted HD 10)?
5) I have 5 google accounts I've added to Google Photos (I have a lot of photos!). The initial "downloading photos" seems to take ages. Perhaps it's no slower than usual but it's not showing you the photos until they're all downloaded. Worse, this app quits by itself sometimes. It's the most unstable app I've used in the few days I've had this device.
6) The app Amazon for Tablets just quits when I try and run it. Does it require some of the background stuff I've disabled. It's not really worth enabling them for it, i'm just curious.
7) Can I somehow add a pattern unlock instead of pin/password?
8) Can I disable the lockscreen wallpaper? Where are they stored on the tablet - perhaps I can just delete them/replace with a single black jpeg.
9) Can I edit the swipe down notification options (which are currently wifi, airplane, blue shade, do not disturb, bluetooth, help, rotation, camera)?

Some apps have to be sideloaded because the app version is for cell phones only.
Amazon apps, Store and Kindle have not worked for me for awhile... Not sure what is going on.

Netflix isn't for cell phones only. It appears in the play store on my other phones and tablets.
I'm not too bothered about the Amazon stuff - I have a real kindle for reading books; this tablet is great for PDFs (which are hellish on a kindle). I'm not sure there are many apps on the amazon store which aren't on the playstore, and I guess I'll just have to live without the amazon app. The website is pretty good anyway. I suspect if I was bothered I could unroot and factory reset this device and start over and just add the play store and remove no amazon stuff, but that would be a lot worse than my current situation.

1) You debloated. It likely has something to do with Free Time and the files surrounding it's function. Unfortunately only way to fix without root, is a factory reset.
2) Download and install Activity Launcher. Tap top left panel, and then all activities. Scroll to settings, tap it, you'll see more battery options, unfortunately not detailed. Scroll down further for 'usage statistics ' for individual app usage stats.
3) Using activity launched again, still in settings, tap 'accounts'. Then tap the three dogs at the top right corner. Make sure 'auto sync' box is checked. You can't see the individual syncing options though. Also in activity launched > settings tap 'backup and reset.' Make sure the toggle to back up to Google cloud is selected. You cannot enter an email, that's for Amazon backup.
4) You can download a compatible Netflix apk from their website here.
5) Google Photos is give or take. Move pictures and whatever else you want to use, to Google Drive. That works better, especially if you keep Amazon Photos.
6) Debloating causes this across many apps. Amazon makes sure everything is connected. I don't use any Amazon apps so these are give or take as well.
7) No pattern yet. I'm working on it. I just need to figure out how to edit the SystemUI ap k and reinstall it. No luck yet.
8) Amazon Photos controls lock screen wallpaper. You can only change it through settings > display > wallpaper. That changes home and lock screen wallpapers. If you delete Amazon Photos, you lose the ability to change the lock screen. You cannot disable the lock screen wallpapers.
9) Amazon uses a different notification panel than the standard SystemUI interface. So far, with root, GravityBox changes only status bar icons, but not tiles. I have not yet figured out where Amazon tucks away their panel. Some is in SystemUI some in the framework.

Thanks for responding! It can be hard to get "the answer" to specific questions on this site sometimes!
1) I was very careful with what I altered, and as far as I know I only disabled stuff (I bought titanium pro and froze a few things that I couldn't disable even as root) so presumably I can unfreeze it. I suppose I could have poked around more without root but I was worried that I might get an amazon update I could no longer root, and that I couldn't replace the launcher with nova launcher. If this (inability to look at what items are taking up space in the sd card/internal) is the only symptom of "debloating" then it's a fair trade and I'll put up with it).
2+3) I will check out "activity launcher".
4) I didn't know about that! "Rooted or uncertified Android mobile devices are unable to download the Netflix app from the Play Store. Rooted or uncertified mobile devices are not blocked from accessing Netflix, but, depending on configuration, may not function properly." Might as well leave them up on the play store then, eh? Very odd. Still, solves my fears about sideloading tampered-with apps.
5) I use google photos on several other devices and the web. I upload stuff, move between albums, share. If I can do all of that on google drive then it might be worth whatever time it takes. I'll check it out!
6) This was one of the apps I couldn't disable until I bought titanium pro, so that's solved now. (I froze whispernet and other stuff that was taking up cpu/battery and the device didn't seem to get any more unstable).
7) It's not a big deal. I'd check out any fix you make (assuming I find out about it somehow - remember to post it in one of the forums on this site!)
8) I might temporarily enable google photos then, long enough to disable them. I'm not sure how many photos are cycled between on the lock screen, and whether they're downloaded or stored on the device. I couldn't find them when I had a quick look.
9) It's not a big deal, but i'm never going to use most of them.
Cheers!
Well, I unfroze everything (then refroze some apps like kindle, amazon for tablets (which still didn't work)) and some of the menu items have come back to life. I still can't set lockscreen wallpaper - the settings for wallpaper only affects the main screen. That's not big deal really - I don't want to fiddle with this thing forever. I can see that google and firefox are both set up to sync but clicking on them doesn't do anything. I don't get notifications on lichess, which is odd. I get notifications for youtube so it's not like the system is broken, and notifications aren't disabled on a per-app basis for lichess. The activity launcher lets me see the battery details like you said (although you can access activities directly with nova launcher so it's not required) - there's some text you can hardly read on those pages though because it's very dark text on a very dark background.
Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017) on Android 7.0 w/ Samsung Themes v4.0.98.80319
Until recently, one of my options for the Always On Display was to use what came with a theme (for those that supplied AODs). If I selected something else, that option disappeared; however, I could get it back simply by re-applying the theme.
Without warning my AOD changed to the default and I lost the themed option in the AOD settings. Reapplying, or even deleting/ reinstalling doesn't give me the themed option back.
What's changed? Or has an updated somewhere meant that I now have to grant a permission somewhere (which I haven't found yet)?
Suggestions appreciated.
Hello,
There were some news posted earlier this month stating that this feature was removed from non flagship devices because it caused problems such as glitching. I remember reading it in the update, but I can't find the update notes from the Galaxy Apps Store.
If you go to settings and then apps, and find the AOD app, tap the three buttons on the upper right corner and tap on uninstall updates.
Hope this helps.
Yep, uninstalling the updates did the trick. Thanks.
Hi,
I have a problem with apps which should show options window on screen.
In have Z17 lite, rooted, international rom, Nova launcher. For example LP. After the patching app, ( in app purchase patch, precisely) in app it should open the window with options and show different prices but there is nothing. Very similar thing is with ACR(call recording). On the other phone, after ended call there is always notification with question to save the record or not, on Nubia there is nothing like that. I set same settings on both apps.
I set everything in neosafe, system notification, app permissions and in Nova. I don't have more ideas how to do it. Is there any way to fix it?
