i updated and of course, all internet browsers close as soon as a start using them. They open, let me go to a website or two, then close. I was super eager to test the full flash but i can barely get to the websites themselves without the browser closing suddenly. I updated the firmware, profile, prl, and everything. the phone was never rooted.
I'm about to do a hard reset but I figured i should check what you guys had to say first.

Hard reset is the only thing that has helped so far. Just do it, it will make the system work better anyway.
Will a hard reset effect firmware/froyo.
I had the same issues with the camera. Reset all folders permission to read and write.
sorry for my ignorance but how I can do a hard reset? and it will fix the problem?
No, a hard reset basically wipes your data and cache(?) partitions. All apps and data are deleted. This will return you to just your normal firmware, without any customizations. Then you can reinstall apps. I think that's the main problem, some apps aren't dealing with the upgrade too well, and as a result, you get some weird errors. It won't change any versions of your software though.
I'm having the same problem.. If we move the apps to the SD card we shouldn't have to reinstall them, correct? And if we re-install apps, does the settings/info saved on them return or would we have to change those as well? I'm getting ready to do a hard reset too and I spent alot of time with these apps and I was worried about losing info/settings..
Also, I'm using Launcher Pro, will it revert back to Sense after the Hard Reset?

Search "how to hard reset the HTC EVO". It can either be done through the settings menu or you can physically do it using the power and volume rocker.
My dad was having similar issues. And said that going into settings while in the browser and changing enable plugins from "always on" to "on demand" helps
Also the person using launcher pro go into the launcher pro settings or preferabces and all the way on the bottom you can backup your settings/homescreen.

It will return back to sense. It will be like a brand new phone. Before you hard reset backup your launcher pro settings and homescreen. Hard reset if my internet fix didn't work. Reinstall all apps and launcherpro and then restore launcher pro settings and homescreens.
Is hard reset the only way to fix this?
No you can remove Adobe flash and reinstall it.. worked flawless for myself.
James
I hate to ask this sounding like a noob, but I'm at work and can't do much research, but what would be the best way to backup all those files? Just with the USB drive or is there a backup app I can download, etc.
Nevermind, I figured out how to backup Launcher Pro, but how about apps still?

It should still be in the market, got it earlier for latest CM Nightly.
Yeah I don't see it either. I found Flash 10.1 beta on Appbrain, but it won't sync with my phone. I uninstalled and removed flash and my browser is still crashing.
Here is the APK. I had to uninstall it using titanium backup. was easier than going the ADB rm way
James
I had the same problem. Some are saying it's because of installing the half ass full flash version on 2.1 that came out a month ago.
I downloaded and reinstalled the apk and then it worked...for about 6 hours and then the browser starting crashing again.
The next time i uninstalled and then installed the flash 10.1 again, so far, so good.
When I get home I'm gonna try that and hope it works before I do a hard reset.
Nothing worked so I finally decided on the hard reset. I think one should do it anyway to get the best out of the update. Everything works fine now, glad to see that it remembers the apps I had already paid for. The whole thing seems to run smoother than ever, (I hated the baggy scrolling.) Southparkstudios works now, the entire video section of the new York times works now as well. Embedded YouTube videos work on Facebook they play without me having to leave the page/browser.
****ONE ISSUE***
Text fields act strange. I can't type status updates into the full Facebook site anymore, nothing happens when I tap the text field. That blows big time I hate using the Facebook apps I want the full site to work fully.
Similarly, I was never able to type into the text fields on the gmail full site. Now I can a little bit although Tue browser seems uber confused about whether it wants to deal with the text field or not. Any ideas why text fields (
Rich text fields) are such an issue?
I was hoping that yahoo games would work, especially yahoo pool but still no go.
Hi Guys,
Must say I'm loving Lollipop so far, however I have a really annoying issue - my Contacts / Phone app keeps crashing. 'Unfortunately Contacts has Stopped'. This occurs almost every other time I open the dialler. And randomly if I leave it as a background process.
I'm running the German Lollipop build, with BTU UK CSC. I'm rooted with Philz Touch recovery.
I've reflashed, factory reset, cleared cache, cleared the apps cache & data, fixed permissions, pretty much all I can think of! All to no avail!
My contacts are all synced via google, and use Ubersync to pull through high quality photo's from facebook.
However after removing all contacts, ubersync and various syncing etc this is still occuring....
Any ideas?
I've been getting that one lately, and I don't even have Lollipop yet. I am using True Caller and think it might be related to that.
Same problem on my note 4 and I don't even have lollipop yet

Thanks for the reply - I don't use any 3rd party app to manage Phone or Contacts! At least you have an obvious candidate for the cause!
It's driving me nuts!!
I've been in Gmail and tidied up my contacts - long overdue to be fair and how much fun that has been! Maybe there was something up there - though after resync was still occuring so unsure....
I've factory reset again - It seems to be working fine at the moment - something i'm installing or updating must be causing it. I'm now going to install all my stuff one by one until I find what's causing it....

So I basically let all apps update themselves before installing or doing anything and here we go - Contacts has now started closing again.....

I am also on BTU CSC and German lollipop, no issue at all, but i am not rooted, stock and everything is working great and getting great battery life too.
I didn't wipe data only cache if this helps.
I'm having this on and off. Non rooted. UK unlocked.
Has happened to me 3 or 4 times since Friday that I updated to Lollipop.
It's really random too, once it happened after taking a photo, another time when I exit from Viber.
Thanks for the responses guys - feels better to know i'm not alone.
I flashed lollipop and restored my backup. On every boot I get contacts fc but then that's it never again till I reboot . So looks like it's either not lolipop related or perhaps related to the new modem?
I know this is a note 4 thread. I am using an S5 and started having this issue after upgrading to lollipop. So it is not just the note 4.
Yeah I noticed the error too after installing Lollipop, happens once a day while exiting an app it happens randomly.

Hi, had the same problem, randomly of course.
Phone is locked on Orange Romania, nonrooted and started after flashing lollipop.
Tried all....cleared cache/data on contacts, contacts storage, phone, all the apps that are related to contacts, changed date format, wiped cache/data form recovery, factory reset, etc.
Then i thought it must be related to another app....and which one it's the buggiest of all? Facebook
So i disabled facebook (u can't unistall it now...thank you samsung for that and for all the bloatware) and made a bookmark with it on chrome.
So far, no contacts fc and that since yesterday. Normally i'd had at least 4-5 till now.
Hope it helps!
I was beginning to think some Facebook link was at cause here....
This seems to have settled some - i've seen one FC of contacts this morning, and then Facebook updated a short while afterwards. Touch wood - i've not seen Contacts crash all afternoon!

Its a random FC on 910C also since the Lollipop update. I can not say why? Most times when it fc i want to access the Dailer.
Started happening to me after flashing the German lollipop image. I'm on a UK Three 910F. It's getting pretty annoying.

Hello guys, 2 days ago i finally got the android 7.0 update (three uk) and since then I've spotted some problems with the phone. I have this music player installed its called Musixmatch and one of the features is when your phone start playing music the music player identifies it and puts the lyrics on the screen. So since the update sometimes (mostly when I'm playing videos online or just doing random stuff) lyrics to song "Over The Horizon" by Samsung are popping on my screen ( the song is not actually playing, i can't hear it but the lyrics pops up on the screen which means it was played maybe?) I've attached two screenshoots of this situation.
The other problem is since the update sometimes when i want to watch some videos on youtube after few videos I'm getting this problem saying "there was a problem while playing playback id: (various numbers)" and then i can't play any video online (i haven't tried playing videos from my video library yet) but for example on Facebook when I click on the video it acts like a photo just the thumbnail opens and that's it, can't play it. can't play any video untill i restart the phone then its alright but again after few videos im starting to get this error.
My phone is not rooted and I've never rooted it. Its running on stock rom.
Thanks in advance
Just sounds like MusixMatch needs an update. Not exactly a problem with the phone, but the app.

I agree.
It can take a short while for the developer of an app to push out an update so that it does not clash with the updated firmware. I'd check in the PlsyStore under your Apps.
You may also be able to let the Developer know of the bugs your encountering after the firmware update.
That and I'd try clearing the Apps Cache , System Cache and as a last resort create a fresh backup and Factory Reset.
So today i noticed that its not only Facebook videos nor youtube videos. When its happening i can't even call anyone on Skype or Facebook it just won't let me do it.

Had the same problem when I was on LineageOS, didn't found a solution. It was really annoying so I went back to Touchwiz (superman ROM), and haven't had any problems since then.
I dont know what causes the problem, but perhaps a factory reset will solve it for you. :fingers-crossed:
Okay so I decided to go for the factory reset and it worked for a day or two but today the problem is back. Also I would like to mention that I think today was the first time I've used device maintenance to clean ram and Clean master to turn off apps that eat battery after that the problem came back.

You shouldn't even be using Clean Master at all.

Why not
Some people's opinions that such software can cause more harm than good.
Personally I prefer not to use cleaning programmes or battery software either.
The inbuilt options do what I need.

One is it steals your infor and sells it in China.
Second, using it to force stop apps in background causes the phone to active loop and basically use up more battery.
The very presence of Clean Master in the phone is all harm and no good.

Don't use clean master, it's bloat garbage. plus you have that built right into the os. If you MUST use 3rd party once of those, use one that's lighter and less spammy and bloatwarish

I quick looked cm is 16mb, with a whole bunch of bloat and ads and useless features, ahh it's such an awful app. It was bad enough, but then cheetah bought it and it really got bad, same thing happened with the gallery app Quickpic.
Anyway, if it was me, I would absolutely not dl a third party app. The built in stuff does more than a good enough job. But if you must have one, CCleaner 4mb, simple, works, it's light, if there are ads, don't think they are overly intrusive, if there even are any ads. There's a few others that might be OK that are 4mb or under. Look thru the list. But dude, just use the built in option, it does a surprisingly good job.
I have a strange problem that began sometime in the past 3 days.
I went to post a picture to Instagram and noticed no photos were present under "Gallery". Even after taking a photo within the Instagram app, the new photo didn't show up under "Gallery" in the Instagram app.
I started digging and found out that this problem started within the past 3 days. I could identify this time frame because Google Photos uploaded a photo taken on my phone 3 days ago. Pictures since then have not been found by the Google Photos app. I have already reset the cache and data of the Media Storage system app - it rebuilt the Gallery app's index, but still the problem persists. I've also reinstalled affected apps.
Google Photos sees pictures in other folders outside of "DCIM\Camera", such as downloads and Music. So the issue seems to be related somehow to the DCIM\Camera folder in particular.
List of symptoms:
Cannot access photos from Instagram app, but I can share from Gallery app to Instagram app
Message+ crashes when trying to add media to a text
Cannot access photos in Camera folder from Google Photos
Gallery and Files apps seem to access files normally
Any help would be appreciated! I'm using a Verizon V20, stock OS.
Started having the same issue with my v20. Found a solution yet?
No, I'm sorry. I ended up just backing up my pictures to my computer and factory resetting my phone... I need it working correctly for work.

Yup - so far so good. I have all my apps reinstalled and accounts added...no issues. I really have no idea what happened, but definitely sounds like a V20 issue. Do you have the Verizon version too?
Oh! I just realized that I just installed the new security update the other day. I'm pretty sure it lines up with the problem starting. I bet that's the cause.

I bet the update borked the file system - not sure if there is a setting to fix it. That's a pretty big problem if it happens to everyone though.
Any other suggestion for this? I literally tried everything and I do not want to factory reset my phone. Its very frustrating!
I did the Factory Reset hoping it would be the 'fix'.
It worked for the rest of the day, then failed. I also have other Apps freezing or crashing.
After a lot of effort in a search for the solution, I slowly adopted the repetitive sentence that the phone is nearing the end-of-lifecycle and not enough time was spent making sure the update would work fluidly with all aspects of the phone. I *****ed and moaned for hours and got a nice discount to upgrade to the V40. Two days with the V40 and all is well in my world again.
Hi all,
haven't found a thread in this forum about the problem but... have someone problems with OOS 11.1.1.1 and Gmail? Mine does not sync and I lose a lot of emails. Is there a workaround/fix to resolve?
Thank you.
I'm also seeing this sporadically. The mails don't sync to the phone until I go into the Gmail app, at which point they load right away. I'm not losing any, just missing the notifications. I was seeing this on just one of my three accounts (intermittently) before the update, now all my accounts do it, still intermittently. I'm having to peek at gmail to see if anything important came in, several times an hour.
I'm still having this problem. It comes and goes. All battery optimization etc. turned off for Gmail.
Seems a general problem in OxygenOS, because other OPs have the same problem.
For what it's worth, I've booted to (stock) recovery and did a cache wipe from there. After rebooting and letting the system rebuild cache for a little while, email notifications are coming through for Gmail. I can't say how long this will last, but it does seem to be working for me at the moment. Note that doing a cache wipe from within Android/settings/apps/gmail/storage - wipe cache DID NOT fix the problem; I had tried that previously. It was doing the full cache wipe for everything in recovery mode that had a favorable effect.
FYI, Also started experiencing this issue on some custom roms running OOS 11 base. It is intermittent on both OOS 11.1.1.1 and custom roms. I get my Pixel 6 thursday and will be curious if the sync issue is present in A12.

I agree. However, it is intermittent. For example, I received the gmail notification of your reply to my xda post. Currently, using stock OOS 11.1.1.1. Anyway, 5 days til the Pixel 6 is in my hands.
Just as an update, after doing the full cache clear in the stock recovery utility, my gmail has been flawless for all three accounts.

It's funny... a day or two after I posted my "all clear, working fine" note, it stopped working again. Going back into recovery and clearing the cache again fixes it... but for how long? I don't know enough about how the cache is used for the various components to guess what's going on. I recall from previous efforts that clearing JUST the GMAIL cache wasn't a solution immediately after the upgrade. So it's probably some other Google component cache getting bogged down.

Hmm, wondee what they fixed then
Just updated to the new patch 11.1.2.2 last night. Did a recovery reboot and cleared cache. Will now observe to see if the two problems I've had (gmail stops getting push updates and pedometer dies in Google fit after a day or so following reboot) go away. I will update once I have data.
Is there already a permanent fix now?
