Today I updated to Android Oreo and noticed that the widgets from TB to freeze/defrost/start apps force close Titanium Backup.
Anybody else facing the same problem or has a solution?
Same problem.
Same problem on a Samsung S8 with Oreo. Only a problem for some apps. Others work fine. I have not seen a solution and the developer has not responded to me.
Still no fix
Developer not responding either. It's a shame, because this widget feature is one of the best tools in Android and there is no one else that has developed such a feature.
I wish I could code to create something like this.
Good opportunity for a Developer to take this on ? Happy to be a tester.
I switched to airfrozen. Works much better than TB ever did for automatically freezing and unfreezing apps. Faster and much easier to add apps.

Just picked up my Galaxy S3 today on the Sprint network. I'm trying to change the owner information displayed on my lock screen. Whenever I launch the Owner Information section under the settings/security menu, the phone goes to a black screen and then comes back stating "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."
Has anyone else noticed or experienced this, or can you replicate the issue?
Thanks.

I've got the same problem. No Idea what could help. Did you find anything out?
Nope, mine works fine
Same problem. The last time I had the same problem with language and input and I noticed it happened because I had disabled s voice. This time I don't know what is causing the issue. Some app might be coming in the way. I have avast anti theft installed so that may be causing the problem. Not sure.
Which carrier do you have? I have Sprint, and my owner information works fine.
Unlocked international version.
I finally made a factory reset and then selected NOT to restore from my Google account. Then it worked fine. I only had to do the settings again. The user apps I could restore with Titanium Backup.
Everything OK now.
I don't wanna reset my phone. There has got to be another way.
So strange that something like owner info would crash. I've reset my phone 3 times in a week and had no problems with it.

Interesting...glad you worked it out but in contrast, I always restore from Google and my owner info works fine. But stranger things have happened. I lost copy/paste after rooting, ended up flashing the stock AT&T rom that's rooted and deodexed and all has been well ever since. Go figure
I think there's a bug (either by Samsung or by Google) when restoring from the Google account. When I select to restore from the Google Account my S3 takes the data from my tablet and I suppose that it cannot handle the information I stored in the owner information of the tablet.
I am pretty sure, all of us who are having this problem have something in common. Some app in all probability cause it does not seem to be a very common problem.

Spot any common apps apart from the pre-installed apps?
Ever since I moved to Jelly Bean I faced the problem that some widgets always disappear whenever I reboot my phone (in my case it was Beautifule Widgets and Pure Calendar). Today I got an email from the developer of Pure Calendar Widget containing a link to this article. I tried it and since then my widget don't disappear again.
To summarize the article:
Create a backup of the app which contains the widget in Titanium Backup
Uninstall the app using Titanium Backup
restore it with Titanium Backup
This is a known workaround but you need Titanium Backup and it only works on rooted devices.
Join the "spur Google to release a fix" party: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34880
I believe that Google hires competent people... why didn't a team of competent developers release a fix after more than 2 weeks? I think many people on this forum could fix it in 2 hours, not weeks.
I thought it was a problem with Beautiful Widgets first because I only had this problem with that first. Then after some tests Pure Calendar Widgets made problems too.
I only learned of that workaround today by that email I received. But I already starred that issue too
Just so everyone knows, the free version has this functionality so no need to purchase the paid app unless you want.

Read comment #54 and comment #57, I think that the Google fix will only partially fix the issue, it looks like they still don't fully understand the problem. Google is a disappointment.
Does not work with AmazingText widgets...
I have been using TweetCaster for over three years I think, it worked flawlessly for me, until now. Even when I disable app's notification, it still keeps notifying me, which is needless to say really annoying. So looking for an alternative. Could someone suggest me a simple twitter app, not with all the fancy animations or looks or anything, just a simple app with Twitlonger support and proper push notifications, that's all.
Thanks in advance.
Hi. I use tweetcaster and have no problem with it. I strongly suggest that you uninstall and reinstall it. It would be sad to have you change apps.
I have already done that, twice, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, nothing was fixed! That's why I was forced to create this topic, I don't like any other apps as well, I know I will eventually come back to it, but until the problem is fixed I am staying with official Twitter app, which is garbage, but at least there is no problem with notifications.
Hello folks
I am new here, and I am having a serious issue with my brand new Nexus 6P.
In fact, authorizations concerning certain apps (mainly Whatsapp and Chronus) are getting automatically removed by the system even though I had previously authorized those apps to access my contacts or my calendar.
The outcome is really bothering, because as for whatsapp it doesn't matter whether I restore authorizations manually through apps settings, I still cannot see my contacts on whatsapp, with the result that I only see many phone numbers for each chat, and if I go to the contacts tab, it appears to be empty, so the app still is not granted to access my contacts.
The only way I found to solve this issue is by uninstalling and reinstalling whatsapp, but still this problem returns after less than 24 hours, and it's really bugging me because I can't keep on uninstalling and reinstalling whatsapp daily.
Also with chronus I am having similar issues concerning appointments display, sometimes the app widget randomly says that there aren't enough authorizations in order to display the appointments, while I previously set that.
What should I do? Any suggestion? Please help me as all this is really bothering in everyday usage.
Thank you
What apps do you have installed.
Specifically, apps that mess w the OS
Well... I am using Nova launcher, and I also installed an app to lock the phone from the screen itself (lock screen)... as for the rest, they're all quite ordinary apps, nothing that really messes with the OS, I am not rooted and the bootloader is locked
Maybe I missed it, but your giving them Permissions via Settings Apps? And its not sticking?

Exactly. Even if I already granted permissions, the grant doesn't stick and after a while the OS denies apps all by itself.
And as for what concerns whatsapp, even if I restore the authorization and grant it to access my contacts, I still cannot see my contacts displayed in the contacts tab, and if I go back to app permission settings, I still see that whatsapp figures as granted
uninstall those apps. restart your phone.
see if they stick.
if not, Id factory reset
Ok I'll try and keep you posted, thx
I have uninstalled nova launcher and there is no trouble so far, but I am wondering if trouble was caused by the lock screen app instead, I would really love to install nova launcher again b cause I am too used to its wide range of customization... Does anyone here use nova launcher without any trouble?

reinstall nova and see if you have the issues.
there's no other way to know.
Seems ever since i update my s7 to nougat, and now have nougat on my s8, i'm dealing apps constantly crashing on a daily basis. Apps that never crashed before, ever, are constantly crashing on nougat. And by no means is this a samsung thing, because my friends sony z5 also has similar issues with nougat, what did google do that is causing these apps to crash?
I haven't had a single crash so far.
Not one crash either. You must have a rogue app. System reset.

No crashes at all.
Did you transfer programs, data from your old phone to new one using something like Titanium backup or smart switch? I read a lot of complains about stability issues from people doing that. Or like someone already said, some app creating issue, but not that easy to find which one.

Yes but i've reinstalled the problematic apps, same apps crashed on the s7. I mean it could be the app but they never crashed on android 6, and since nougat has been available to devs since march 2016 i'd imagine they'd fix any compatibility issues by now.
No crashes watsoever on niether my nougat s7 or s8.
I think you have limited options here: either reset the phone and reload all apps fresh from play store, or try to identify what causes the problem and there are few ways to do it. For the record my phone never crashed and I have it since day 1, but I did have couple apps that should be working, installed fine and crash the moment they start.
I had to factory reset out of the box after my first update. It sucked and was a bad first impressikn but it has been working ever since and I've had it for a week.

I used Helium on my S8 coming from S7 as Smart Switch was not importing my apps settings.
Backup went well, but I have some apps that force closes some time.
The funny thing is that I have force closes not on those apps where importing data was for me mandatory (like games or note apps), but on standard apps where I could even install them from Play Store.
I made backup of everything for simplicity, just for not having to insert all the logins and passwords for all my apps.....
I still can't understand why Smart Switch failed to import my data when I was coming from Samsung S7 with Nougat update, so if someone maybe knows why, please tell me...but as far as I've read, I haven't noticed big complain and force closes after importing with Smart Switch... Maybe they where importing from a non Nougat Samsung.....
In my actual case, resetting device would be a real problem as I have a lot of apps and reinstalling them would mean to lose an entire day in doing the job.
If someone knows how to fix things, maybe cleaning things up or so, please reply.
If there's no solution, I think I'll do only a data backup with Helium and then go through reset and consequent Play Store install of all apps list previously saved on AppBrain so to have the complete list already set...but it's still a huge work!!

2 s8's here and neither have crashed once yet. Do a factory reset, and install all your apps manually from the play store and be done with crashes.

Your crash seems to be isolated to one app. An app that I wouldn't be too surprised is crashing. The OP on the other hand post would seem to suggest he's expierencing crashes from multiple apps.
