Apps won't respond after screen times out - LG V20 Questions & Answers

V20 US996 unlocked and rooted, otherwise stock.
Recently, I've noticed that if the screen turns itself off and then I unlock it, whatever app I had pulled up will be frozen. I have to go out of it and back in to use it again.
I do NOT have this issue if I manually turn the screen off (double-tapping or power button).
The only thing I've recently done is to try out a couple of apps that use the proximity sensor to turn off the screen, but I've uninstalled them.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks

Any remnants of those apps left behind?
Did they use "accessibility services" or any other special permissions? Did you "un-grant" those permissions before uninstalling?
...just thinking of any possible solution.

I remember that in uninstalling the apps, the phone required me to ungrant many of those permissions...I'm assuming all of the ones that I set (device administrator, etc).
Would it be beneficial to reinstall and then re-uninstall the apps? That seems like it wouldn't work. Not sure.

It wouldn't hurt anything, worth a try.
Do you have any "doze" type apps or mods (Greenify, forcedoze, etc.)? Could it be when you wake the device it's still in a lazy state?
Did you freeze any system apps with titanium backup that could cause the issue?

Will try, thanks!

disable AT&T apps?

i google'd this but can't find anything on it and was wondering if the s3 is the first phone that allows users to disable at&t services without root. this is my first android device so i wouldn't know if that's true...
anyway, i have hotspots, navigator, messages, and updater. Carat is saying updater uses a lot of my battery, but that is the only one i can't disable in the application management menu in settings. however, i assume if i disable the other 3 then updater will have nothing to update and will consume less battery (hopefully).
has anyone tried to disable these programs with success, i.e. without it causing problems to your phone?
im not sure. but i did try to uninstall one and then it just showed up that it needed a update so i ended up redownloading the app because im so OCD about having updates not done

You go into the application manager and DISABLE the app. I have gotten rid of ALL the ATT bloatware this way. Works sort of like
Titanium Backup but you do not need the root. Great option.

This is actually one of the 'features' of ICS (being able to disable apps w/o needing root). It basically very similar to "freezing" apps in TiBackup if you have root. It's generally much safer than outright deleting an app since if you do find you need it you can always re-enable it.
Make sure you have "auto update" unchecked in Google play first. Go to manage apps in settings and then go to "all".
Disable the ones that you don't need which is prolly a lot. You can also hide them if you want. While in your app drawer hit the menu button and choose hide apps.

Is it possible to remove Google Keyboard languages?

I get really annoyed when I see that the Play Store asks me to update several languages for the Google Keyboard (like Korean). Is it possible to use Titanium to uninstall these unwanted languages? I could always use the extra space removing them would perhaps bring. Anyone knows if removing them will cause phone issues overall?
Yes you can. The Korean, Chinese (Pinyin) and Japanese keyboards are separate apps. You can either disable them in your Apps settings or remove them completely using Titanium Backup like I did.
So I did this, but for some reason, the apps are still showing up in my Play Store list to update... weird.
I had this issue a few times with Titanium Backup. I think the initial uninstall removed the update and I found I had to do it twice to remove the app completely. You must remember to reboot after doing this as sometimes preloaded apps stay in memory and reinstall themselves. This has also happened a few times to me. A reboot normally scans for changes.

Screen Overly Issue

I'm having an issue downloading anything with browser or chrome. I continuously get "disable screen overlay in settings>apps". I've read extensively about how to untick draw over apps and I've deselected them all, reboot, etc. Nothing is working. I don't have any apps that stand out to be causing the issue. I'm on unlocked bootloader, rooted A2017u B27. Any other suggestions from anyone experiencing the problem? Thanks!

Turn off Mi-Pop
Besides what @tinasdude said, I've found that if your in a Chrome/browser instance within another app, that it can trigger the overlay warning for some reason.
Things like Twilight or other non-root redshifting apps also work via overlay and would need to be disabled.
I don't have Twilight or anything else installed although I do have Xposed installed with Gravitybox, Amplify, and Greenify but I've uninstalled them all and still get the error. I also unchecked Mi-Pop but nothing

Something else is installed that is or can alter your screen's state. You can try to force close the app in question that is throwing the error and try again. Also, if you use TB, dont uninstall stuff, just freeze it and then after the function goes through that you are trying to do, you can unfreeze it.
Get this app it solves the overlay issue.

Force Stop Messages constantly appearing on unmodded S7 Edge

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem or knows of a fix:
At random times with no intervention, the application info page appears for a (random) app with the force stop dialog in front of it asking me if I want to force stop an app. If I hit cancel it does the same thing again for a different app. It goes through many different apps in an apparently random order and then stops (also for no apparent reason). My phone is unrooted running stock ROM. I have tried many things including clearing the System and App caches changing launcher (I normally use Nova launcher) removing memory card but nothing seems to help.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help,
Jonathan
Did you use package disabler?
Yes I have package disabler installed. It doesn't seem to make much difference whether all apps are enabled not.

Does someone have problems with "draw over other apps" permission?

.
I've noticed that after Oreo update some apps cannot draw over other apps anymore. Like Google Translate "Tap to Translate" or Nougat/Oreo Quick Settings. Lastpass works fine tho. But if I try to make work this apps, it will tell me I need to go to settings to enable "Draw over other apps" permission for that app. The funny thing is that the permission is already given and switching it on and off, killing the app, restarting the phone, etc doesn't do anything. For the apps is like I never granted the permission and so they don't work as they should.
I'm trying to avoid doing a factory reset, btw.
Anyone else has this problem? Anyone using "tap to translate" of Google Translate ?
Thanks!
.
I'm guessing no one has the problem? xD I guess I'll factory reset then...

I'm having the same issue with twilight and Pokemon calci iv. I just did a factory reboot and when I did I constantly get a pop up that says can't install contents 1-400, so I have to keep it in battery saver mode all the time. It still gets hot like crazy, and do not get the port wet because it detected moisture for days and will intermittently charge and not charge or charge slowly and quick charge. I am hoping another factory reset would do the trick,but idk. These intrinsic obsolescence strategies are how they get you to upgrade to the lg g7
So I did the factory reset. The update error went away the moisture sensor issue went away, the drawing over apps issue went away for 2 days then came back. I cannot use chatheads, pokigenie, twilight, etc. The hell with you LG
