[Q] Apps updated and now graphics is "choppy"

Hi all.
My S4 all the sudden has choppy graphics after a few app updates. All graphics are acting this way, the main launcher (stock) is even acting up! Graphic transitions are not as smooth as they used to be.
This happened before, after installing some camera app, I quickly uninstalled the app since the difference was immediately noticable after installing it and everything went back to normal.
However, a few app updates have been installed tonight, and I don't know which ones were updated, I cleared all the notiications without looking at them all.
Any ideas? Can I somehow see a log of updates for my apps? I really don't want to reset my phone!
Also, HOW in the world can this happen? This must be a bug in the system, that allows apps to mess upp ALL graphics! Very dissapointing.Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Well... I ended up uninstalling almost all my apps, more than 100. :-/
That solved the graphics issue.
Would be nice if this issue was resolved at Google but I'm not sure how to reproduce this since I have no idea what app messed things up!

Facebook app crashes every time I open the app

Hi all,
So I've had my Nexus 6p for about 3 months now (since joining Project FI) and I can't say I've been overly impressed with this phone. The battery life is nothing special, speed and performance is below average and the amount of times my whatsapp crashes is infuriating.
However suddenly today afternoon my Facebook app has just decided to no longer work. I'll open the app and two seconds later I'm back to the home screen.
I've tried the following:
- Clearing the cache and the data from the App settings.
- Clearing the cache from Recovery mode.
- Factory reset.
- After each of the previous steps, I've uninstalled and re-installed the Facebook app.
Any other recommendations to try out before I ask for a replacement phone?
Thanks in advance.

Just to update. The app only crashes when I'm trying to load my news feed. If I go on my profile or open a notification, that loads fine.

Wait for an update, until then, use an older version. If the update/older version isn't solving the problem, then use the browser Facebook. :/

Thanks for that. Dumb question but how can I install a specific older version?

I am also having the same problem on my Nexus 5x.

Issue Resolved
A new version of Facebook came out today and I now no longer have the issue. Seems like the patch prior to this caused an issue.

I just downloaded the latest patch today and it got resolved.

just got another update B575

This morning after I woke up I got a warning an update was available. I was on B573 before. Updated but have no idea what the changelog is. If anybody can help, please see attached screeenshot.
Mate 8 AL10

Had you had Google Play store authentication issues for apps you had never installed prior but wanted to try on 573? This seems to be an issue many of us are having with 7.0 on Mate 8 so far.....curious if its fixed by 575 somehow....even though doubting its a priority on Chinese AL10.

No issues before none now.

OK...yeah...I have a feeling a full reset without restoring apps and data would fix the issue...but I didn't want to have go through the whole google the phone and reinstall everything routine. I did have to reset to get to nougat....but just restored apps and data with hisuite.

Looks like it's some optimization changes. I haven't received it yet on my B573, hopefully soon. Battery life seems quite bad right now. Looking through the forums with google translate, people seem to like it so far. One person mentioned wifi was a lot better, which is great as it got really choppy from 562 to 573.
Google translate of the changelog:
[optimization]
to optimize system performance and stability, make your phone run more smoothly, stable and optimized power consumption of mobile phone performance, extended battery life
optimization parameters holster screen brightness so that the brightness of the display screen more comfort
[repair]
repair Taobao application text input dialog occlusion problems
fix problems call recording can not add the specified contact
repaired HuaweiShare open WLAN download rate reduction problem
fixes some scenes outgoing calls can not be a problem

I'll save you the trouble and tell you to not factory reset.
I already wiped my phone clean using factory reset and that did not fix it.

Mine works most of the time, but I find that when you try to download something that prompts you to download wifi it gives the error. Can you try installing an app like Dawn of Titans or Drift Legends? Those are two that gave me the error whereas I could install many other apps no problem. You don't have download the whole thing. If the download starts then it's working for you. It usually gives the error right after you click Install in the play store.

You could try Aptiode apk and download those games to see if it works.

EMUI never played well with Google services anyway.
My Android Wear would disconnect all the time.
What I have noticed with this whole Google playstore authentication issue is, wait a couple of hours, attempt to redownload the app and it'll download.
It's not a big deal. I wish my Google contacts' photos would sync and all, but meh.
What I am hoping for is the stable version will resolve all these Google issues.

Same for me....must not be that.
Have found if I install an app on the desktop play store website..it immediately acts like it has sent it to phone....and eventually after much time it either finally downloads and installs or allows you to do it from the playstore app. But if its an app you have never tried prior you basically HAVE to goto the desktop play store and send to phone to get it to eventually work. Once its been used once you can uninstall and reinstall like normal from playstore app later without the authentication issues. If its an app you have used prior...just not recent or even ever on the Mate 8 they will work like normal....this is only issue with app you have never touched EVER from the playstore.

me too I got a warning new update( B575) was available. I was on B573 before
i will download it and try i hope it solve my big issue regarding the google authentication
( which can not be solved neither by factory reset nor by delete account and clear cash or clear data or even uninstall and re install google play store or any google apps !)
my device is huawei mate 8 Chinese version NXT-AL100

Weird, I've never has such problems.

I got the update for B575 and tried to download a few apps and it didn't seem to have the auth problem..Not sure what changed. Can anyone give me an example of an app they couldn't install? I want to test it more..

The Google issue only happens when I want to install an app I've never installed before.
Using Android device locator, Google is unable to locate my device. My find 7 and Nexus 7 is fine.
Definitely a emui nougat issue.

I've just upgraded my Chinese Axon 7 to MiFavore5.0. And it has some bugs associating with google apps especially google play games, it doesn't sync and it is stuck on this page(see screenshot) . Another issue is that if you go to settings/google/sign in and security it gives this error(second screenshot).Please help if you know how to fix these issues.(I have reset factory both before and after the update, and I have also enabled auto run for all google apps in MiAssitant as I always do)

Update to new Google apps from APKMirror

I Updated google play games from apk mirror, still doesn't work

This update(MiFavor5.0) was suppose to be more optimized with google apps but it is more messed up now. Damn it!

not higher more better, sometimes a low version can run fine

No way this is gonna work. Seriously it has syncing problems with some google apps such as Chrome, Play Games and this is really a shame for ZTE for such a messed up updated the so called MiFavor 5. They'd better release another update soon and fix this.

Why do you think it is a problem of the update though?? I had trouble with GApps on B01 and B06, and I could fix them on both. They stop working all of a sudden, sometimes after a reboot one will get frozen... it's because it's a Chinese ROM.
Try reinstalling it from zero and see if the problem is still there. The way to solve it is that one.

Mi 9T a lag and fluid problem (MIUI Global 11.0.5)

Hello. In last few days*I have a problem with lag and fluidity that occur occasionally. Example - the phone works perfect, fluidly and fast, and then a lag problem occurs and the phone slows down. So when I scrolling something, animations become very slow. It's not fluid, clear and fast, it's lagging, it's work very slow. That problem takes a minute, sometimes less of minute, and then the phone returns to normal with fast and fluid animations, work perfect, but after a while time, the lagging and slow work returns for a minute and gone, and it's been that way all day in the circle. What is problem? Do anyone have solution or all I can do is to wait new update with hope that new update will solve this problem? Thanks!*

I'm on 11.0.5.0 as well and device is running really well but then when I installed it, I formatted the device as I was coming from a custom rom. i stayed on this update as it was working really well even though havocOS, the rom i used for a long time, has released new update.

Same problem on xiaomi.eu 11.0.4...mostly happening on direct sunlight. Nothing helps, maybe changing color scheme....

Laggy mi 9t
After last update 11.0.5 became laggy for short time then smooth and repeated so many times

Yes, exactly thay. That's very annoying, and still no new update to fix this problem. Send it to developers in settings > feedback. If they see more reports with the same problem, they may be able to fix the problem faster. I already sent.

Where do you disable and uninstall app vault?

Can't find app vault in my installed apps, but in play store I can uninstall updates but not deactivate the app

Problem is probably in newest update, so I think is enough to uninstall any updates from app Vault, and the phone will work perfect without this problem with lag and slow work. I disabled app in settings > apps > manage apps, find Vault and disable, clear all data and updates from app. You can delete Vault with Fastboot Tool on PC if you want
Sent from my Mi 9T using Tapatalk

on my phone it is not possible to disable it. i haven´t rooted my phone. how did you manage to disable it?

Couldn't disable it, too. Just uninstalled updates and disabled automatic updates so that it won't download the bad version again. Works for now

I have a solution

the name of the application changes according to the language of each, the word vault is translated infact, go to the management of the applications, and scroll through all the applications, be careful to the icon of this application that you have already seen on the play store, so that you can uninstall it.

Today this started happening to me. I'm on 11.0.5 Global, stock and not rooted. I had 11.0.5 for about a week, don't understand why this started happening now. I uninstalled updates of App Vault and it looks like it runs smooth now.

I'm still getting lag even after uninstalling App Vault updates. It was good until today.

Just look for "App Vault" in my apps on Google Playstore and uninstall it from there. Can't say the problems related to 11.0.5.0 are completely resolved but uninstalling app vault seems to have given the phone some breather.
EDIT: No major difference, home screen lag is back despite removing app vault.
EDIT: Updating all the installed apps have fixed the lag issue. It was definitely related to incompatibility with one of the apps that were pending updates on Playstore since installing 11.0.5.0 update. It's worth noting that worse lag was triggered after I received Xiaomi's browser update today.
