The phone arrived yesterday, I started exploring the interface and I noticed a few issues. Most importantly, I couldn't see notifications on the lock screen like the one from a music app that lets you pause, skip a track and so on. Only after unlocking the phone I'd see the notifications. I tried finding a solution in the settings but after changing some stuff (probably) nothing happened. Then, while doing nothing at all, just locked the phone using power button, opened it and boom, there was a notification from my music app (Shuttle). I repeated this to make sure im not dreaming and after changing a track in the app, the notification no longer appeared. I used google to help me find an answer & all I understood so far is that I have to go in the advanced settings, find the so called "Battery Manager" and disable some app profiles. It was said that by default the app's notifications on the lockscreen are blocked for power saving and by changing these profiles and also tweak some stuff in "Notification & status bar" tab would fix it. I said okay lets do it, but I went in advanced settings and there's no Battery Manager.. and it didnt show up in search either. Is my system outdated? (Side note: I'm a noob when it comes to phones, so I can't possibly pull the correct conclusions here, just saying) I'll include some info from "About phone" tab at the end of this article if that helps. Moving on to the next issue: Can't play video.
My "Can't play video" issue occured when I tried to play a video from within the default gallery app, a video that I recorded a few moments prior. Google didn't help so I downloaded a gallery app after several attempts on more freshly recorded videos, and after installing, the videos would play normally in the new gallery app. I headed back to the default one and on an attempt to play a video, it actually worked now. That's weird. Out of curiousity of what would happen, I uninstalled the gallery app from earlier, leaving me with the phone's default one, tried to play a video and got the same message as in the beginning: "Cannot play video". Out of curiousty once again, I re-installed a gallery app (same one as before) but didn't open it. I headed straight to the default one, tried to play a video and the result was different this time. It said "Error" or something of the sort. Hopefully that info will let you pros figure out the problem.
My "about phone" tab info:
Model Nr: EDI-AL10
EMUI ver. :5.0.1
Android 7.0
Thanks for reading & I'm looking forward to your answers
Edit: Fixed one of the 3 issues I had. Still need some help though, anything, any idea will help.

Hi,
I'm sure I can find settings to regulate timeouts of programs. Lately I gave PowerAmp a try, very neat music player, but when my screen times out PowerAmp does aswell after 5 - 15 mins. First, the program was in my "force close" list in my task manager. I took it out but it still closes.
Somebody?
My phone had the same problem,
took me ages to find out what was wrong - all those google searches paid off tho!
just go to:
Settings > Applications > Running Services
and then delete the original Connecting Music player service...
and if that still doesnt work,
deleting the google listen service may do the trick
let me know if it works
I haven't had the bug for a while but this is a good clue. Thank you so far, I will update here once I tried it out.
Hello,
I'm actually facing the same problem, no matter the player I'm using, the music shut down a few minutes after the screen goes dark.
How do you managed to get rid of the "Connecting music player"??? (called "Lecteur de musique connecté" in my french phone)
I found it in the Settings > Applications > Running Services
but I can't uninstall it (button is disabled).
Please help, thank you
Hi,
well I have not been playing music with PowerAMP lately. But to get rid, or better freeze the program, I guess Titanium Backup would do the job. Why don't you try it out to freeze the native music player with it.
Thank you for your response.
Titanium backup needs my phone to be rooted, so I opened z4root and use the temporary root. A few minutes later, white screen and then it says "temporary root applied. You are now rooted until your next reboot"
I ran Titanium backup which said again that my phone is'nt rooted or that busyBox is'nt installed, but it is.
So, I ran busybox (1.17.1) which says that the phone is'nt rooted too.
So it seems to me that I screwed up with z4root but how?
I don't want to be permanently rooted.
(I will look for an answer on this forum as well)
Thank you
I was having trouble with all the music players crashing as well. I rooted, froze (with Titanium Backup) the Connected Music Player (and other motoblur stuff) and I don't think I've had any trouble ever since with my preference - Cubed player.
goldensgui: I saw somewhere else on these forums that temp root doesn't really work for MM2 - but you can unroot your phone anytime - I do have the option to undo the permanent root (not sure if it works [correctly])
Well, thank you dymonaz, I've followed your advice and rooted my MS2.
I had to root it twice because the first try froze my phone (I waited more than 30 minutes staring at the rolling icon ^^) and I reboot it
The second try was a success (only 2 minutes)
Then, I had no problem with Titanium Backup.
I froze the "Connecting music player" with it and a few motorola's stuff like TV channels etc.
But this didn't solve my problem. I restart my phone (who know's), but no change. So I uninstall and reinstall my player for the nth time and this time IT WORKED and I'm currently using it.
I hope it will last.
Thank you all for your help
I'm afraid I was wrong The fact that it didn't crash for almost two weeks after rooting/disabling motobloat didn't solve the problem, as it crashed again, with the same issue as I was having before:
AudioHardwareMot(1110): AudioStreamOutMot: standby called
AudioHardwareMot(1110): Output 0x12480 entering standby
AudioHardwareMot(1110): Closing Output device

It really sucks.
It does'nt work anymore and I don't now why.
Frustrating
dymonaz, how did you manage to get this log?
I was using OSMonitor (from the Market) - it has a log viewer.
It requires a lot of scrolling to find these messages, but after reviewing all the other messages for around a few minutes before and after the crash, there was nothing else that made sense to be the cause, so I ruled them out and figured these are the ones...
I have no idea who "called the standby" or why, but there's a very poorly documented standby() method AudioHardwareInterface in Android source code. Didn't have time to dig deeper yet.
I found that, whatever the player I'm using, every time it shuts down.
02:07:07.100 Kill com.maxmpz.audioplayer (pid 5555): provider com.android.providers.media.MediaProvider in dying process android.process.media
Does someone have an idea?
Do you guys put the gallery in the auto-kill list in task manager?
I read a post from other forum long time before, I remember they found out that excluding gallery from auto-kill list would work!
I personally tried to put gallery into auto-kill list before(I forget it will shut down the music player). after I exclude it, the music player never stop unexpectedly again
have a try!
I've got the same problem and thats so bad.. -,-
You were right about the gallery put in auto-kill list, WongJames.
I came with the same conclusion removing one by one the applications in the list.
And it appears that the gallery shares the same provider with the music player.
Sorry about the delay and thank you.
(One new weird thing is that gmail doesn't sync anymore since my player is back)
i didn't understand one thing: i have to put the gallery.apk into the black-list (of which program?) or put it out the black-list?

DO NOT put the stock gallery into auto-end list of ANY task manager/ task killer
And I found out one thing, freezing the stock gallery in titanium backup would not shut down the music player
I used to use Quickpic, so stock gallery is useless to me
I must say that ever since I upgraded with the 2.2.2 SBF, I haven't had a single crash.
I do have all the crapware frozen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11180030&postcount=17
Good to hear that. At least Moto fixed that.

I've encountered a really strange problem on my watch (Samsung Gear Live) lately. Not a single texting app will let me use the "reply" button with voice.
Example: Friend texts me, text pops up on my watch. I swipe it and click "Reply" and try to reply using my voice. The text will write out on my watch screen, but the red Google mic icon just sits there for about 10 seconds as if its still thinking it's receiving input, and then it takes me to the "disconnected/watch is offline" screen.
But the watch is obviously not disconnected: I can exit that app and tap the screen and say "Okay Google" and then say "Text friend 'hi how's it going'" and the text will send without a problem.
I've encountered this error when using Coffee SMS, WearResponses, and Google Messenger. I've reset the watch, and cleared Android Wear data, and the problem still persists. This makes no sense. Any ideas/suggestions?
I have the same problem on my LG G Watch R.
I received the Watch today, the reply function worked once or twice, but now it does the same as yours
My Gear Live is still under warranty so I've sent it in to Samsung. We'll see if they are able to fix it...

Update: So, Samsung just replaced the entire watch for me. I'm setting it up now to see if the problem is fixed. Has anyone with the same problem tried factory resetting their *phone*?
UPDATE 2: Well, crap. It still doesn't work. I'm going to try pairing the watch with a different phone sometime in the near future to see if it's my phone. It's obviously not the watch.
Out of curiosity, what version of the Google Search app do you have installed?

Okay, I got it working. Obviously, there's probably some degree of magical Googleness that happened, too, but here's what I did:
Background: I had Google 5 installed from the Android M preview, and I had also previously sideloaded a newer version of Google Play Services (still compatible with my phone, of course)
1. Booted watch into recovery; factory reset several times.
2. Meanwhile, uninstalled updates to Google Play Services, and then download update from the Play Store
3. In the Play Store, uninstall updates for Google App (Google Search), then update from the Play Store
4. Turn on watch, pair with phone, and then pray over it
5. Test out an app (I use Coffee SMS), text yourself, and try replying to it. It might tell you that "Google Play Services must be installed" - I rebooted my phone and then manually connected the watch via the Android Wear app, and then tested it and it worked.
YMMV.
Thanks for keeping us up to date
I too, was finally able to get it corrected, but mine was a bit easier. The only real difference between what you first described and my situation - was that I am using the LG Urbaine Watch with the new LG G4. LIke you (and someone else) it worked a few times and I was thinking that would be my most used feature. Later - it stopped working and my research began. I thought it might have something to do w/ my loading up the LG Call companion app - but after taking that off - it still didn't work. Finally, a good friend of mine that is an Android lover - suggested I switch from the Verizon Message plus application - to the generic one provided by LG. As soon as we made the switch - the Text message response option appeared again. In fact, in addition the reply arrow - I also could see a full list of the conversation with that particular party. Very happy in making that little change.
Hi. I recently purchased a Joying Android Head Unit JY-UL135N2. I have been watching alot of YouTube videos about setting up the device and I noticed that I have none of the settings that I see on the videos like "Driving Settings" and "Factory Settings". All I have is normal android settings. Am I doing something wrong or is there more settings that im not aware of? I did see a Icon that says "Car Media Settings" but the options in their are not the ones im looking for. Im trying to turn off the head unit guidelines for the backup camera because my camera that I purchased already has guidelines so Im seeing two sets of lines when it is active.
Thanks
My unit arrives on Thursday I'll let you know by then but a lot of those videos are of the older 5.1 units so it may be different or maybe try asking in the joying forums

In "carmediasettings", there is third tab look like settings icon.
Passwords "3368"
there is option for remove backup camera guideline.
Developer options in the main system settings menu also has the password 3368.
I just got the same unit and well i have also been looking for elements setting to change the light of buttons to match my dash ,

the lights option is under the CarMedia Settings, but for some weird reason it only shows up if your lights are already on
Thanks that worked great. I have another question tho.... I want to install Viper4android but I can't find any solid info on how to root the 5.1.1 HU's. Any information would be greatly appreciated
Maybe reading this helps: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...roll-joying-2gb-sofia-mtcb-mtcd-tips-t3555249
Viper is not quite worth the headache. Look into upgrading the audio chip in the unit itself
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...
Well hello everyone, I have one software problem from quite a while, but I cant stand it anymore. One day, I was playing with accessibility services in my phone and turned something, don't remember exactly what, so blue frames showed almost everywhere - around in-app ads frames, inside chrome tab content, when making changes to home screen, etc. You can see in the attached pics. I disabled everything unknown for me in accessibility settings, even did factory reset, but I guess this setting is synced over Google Profile, because it came again short after factory reset.. Can someone please tell me how to get rid of that thing ? I curse the day I messed up with that accessibility setting.
S7 Edge, Latest available Android version, no root, etc. Knox 0x0
May be something in accessibility. Please check accessibility settings.

Checked literally everything there. Spent a couple of hours of finding what is it and it disappeared suddenly, I have no idea how.
