The android market on my captivate is slow, it'll take anywhere from 15-25 seconds to load a page sometimes. Also my music player is sluggish, I only have about 300 songs on there right now and the player lags a little bit. Anyone else having these problems?
I also face the same problem with android market.
Any application takes a while to start installing, sometimes even upto 10-15 mins for the installation to start.
I reset my phone to factory settings a couple of times before and still this problem exists.
I know this may sound a bit crazy, i think the GPS malfunction on this device has got to be somehow connected with all the lag.. (Most of the applications required your current location, and maybe the GPS gets activated or something like that).
I know it may sound lame, am not a software guy, but i am just thinking that it may be the case!
Same for me with the Android Market lag... of course my GPS too but that's a given :-(

hmm, i dont use the music player (pandora ftw) but i do use the market quite a bit. I havn't noticed any page loading lag (this could be due to you reception) but now that i've hit 50 apps, when i install new ones, the phone has a brain fart while its installing and becomes generally slower untill the install completes. However downloads and installs dont take any longer than normal...
yeah my installing is fine, it's just when i try to load pages. Sometimes it'll take 15-20 seconds to load the page and it's quite annoying. I tried clearing the cache from manage applications settings but that didn't do much.
wheres FROYO!!!!!!!!!
Simple solution that helped for me on several phones.
Exit all applications.
Go to Settings => Accounts & Sync => Uncheck Background Data and confirm
Quit all screens with back button
Start Market => You will receive a message that Market can't run without Background Data => click Activate => Enable Background Data and click the back button
Now test Market again
Enjoy!
If you are rooted the OCLF helps this issue immensely. I had it installed and just uninstalled the OCLF to see if there was any difference in load times and I'm ready to reinstall, it helps out a lot!
I need some help with my Gmail app on my Xoom.
Yesterday I was watching a Youtube video when my Xoom wouldn't stream any more. I rebooted it and it worked fine except when I try to launch the Youtube or Browser app from Gmail.
I got an email that someone uploaded a video to Youtube and when I click on the video to see it, I should get a pop-up asking if I want to launch it using Youtube or Browser just like it did before my reboot.
Now that never happens, the screen turns grey just like it would launch the pop-up but it never appears. It doesn't block the tablet because if I click on the screen it just goes back to Gmail like I didn't select anything.
Any ideas how can I fix this?
Thanks
No one? Absolutely no ideas what I should try?
I still need some help on this one...so if you've got any ideas please step forward
Having the same issue... and... it seems that clicking on a short cut from anywhere on the xoom produces the greyed out screen. Tried fixing permissions... no luck.
Edit: I found reference to rotating the screen when this happens, which then allows a selection. Fixed my issue.
Has anyone else had this problem just recently? I noticed that a new app called "Google Settings" randomly appeared on my Note this morning and since then, Gmail and Youtube are no longer able to go into multiwindow mode. I tried using MW Manager to fix Gmail... but it looks really weird in fullscreen mode. There's just this huge empty space on the right side while all the content is squished on the left side, as if it's still in windowed mode. I have not tried MW Manager for Youtube, yet.
I am running on stock Jellybean 4.1.2 and I'm rooted. I have no idea what's going on, since I've only had the tablet for 2 weeks and I barely downloaded anything (just some apps like LectureNotes and Layer Paint).
Any info/suggestions is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Sorry I have no idea why your youtube isn't multi Window anymore mine still is but I did notice the Google settings app randomly appear this morning, I was changing the lock screan apps at the time when it happened don't know if that had anything to do with it?
Update: seems google has installed a useless settings app on all of our devices overnight personally I dont want or need this so I would like 5o disable it but it isnt a listed app in application manager.

I had been doing a great deal of tinkering trying to get my phone's battery life back in the last few days, and I made good progress, but I severely jacked up something related to the microphone/speaker/video recording.
PROBLEM:
The problem, as far as I can tell, is that every app that tries to access the microphone can't do it--this shows up when I try to use Google voice input in various text fields with a little "Can't reach Google at the moment." Same with trying to do a search by voice in Google Now--brief brief flash of the microphone red, then back to gray, with "Can't reach Google at the moment". Additionally, my Touchless Input cannot be enabled--the box has automatically unchecked itself, and pressing it makes the button get a little gray, registering the action, but no checkmark will appear.
Additionally, other apps which would use the mic don't seem to have that functionality--Evernote, for example, would crash if I attempted to record an audio clip. This was before I performed a factory data reset last night--and the problem has persisted regardless.
There are two other, seemingly related, issues. First is the inability of the phone to capture videos. The camera opens fine, and I can take fine stills with it, but pushing the video recording button makes the red "record" flash for a moment before a "Not able to record media" message pops up, and the camera returns to the still photo mode.
Second is the inability to play videos. I have tried playing videos in as many formats as I could try, from within several players, including the stock "Photos", "Gallery", and "YouTube" apps. "Sorry, cannot play video" pops up, or the app simply crashes. Similar story for attempting to play music through the stock "Google Play Music" app. And it gets worse. I can't make or receive calls. Actually, let me revise that. I can't hear anything being said on the calls, over the speaker, or through headphones (though I've yet to try BlueTooth). The call appears to connect, but I can't hear anything from them, and they can't hear anything from me.
So--that's the basic summary of the problem--threefold.
1. No audio input through mic
2. No audio output through speakers--my phone doesn't ring when I get a call, although it will vibrate and the options to take the call appear as they normally would.
3. No audio/video playback whatsoever for other media.
I'm running Android 4.4 on a Droid Mini, unrooted, and I just completed a factory reset last night.
ANALYSIS:
Here's the wrinkle. I know this isn't a hardware problem, because I have found a surefire fix that makes all of this work properly if I absolutely need it, it just sucks. Rebooting into safe mode is what does it. Playback resumes as it did before I had the problem. I can play videos, pump music, and Touchless Input works flawlessly--although interestingly, it has me re-enter the catchphrase three times every time I get into safemode, like setting up from scratch.
My consternation comes from the fact that, to my very limited knowledge, all that safe mode is doing keeping any user-added apps from running. Which is all well and good, but I just did a factory reset. Literally when I boot the phone no user installed apps are running, and yet there's a definite difference when I boot into safe mode, cuz everything works there.
So, safe mode must do something more than just disable user-installed apps--and I need to know what that is if I'm going to fix this thing. I have added 4 apps since then-- App Ops, GSAM Battery Monitor, BetterBatteryStats, and Button Savior (Non-root), all of which I know from experience to be very "well-behaved" apps.
Anyone know what safe mode is doing besides disabling user apps? Along those lines, does it revert updated stock apps to their factory state? I ask because very, very briefly, while my phone was slowly trying to upgrade the 40-odd pieces of Bloatware from the Play Store, the microphone was working. Which makes me think that the culprit is one of the system apps in it's updated form. If safe mode runs these apps as they originally appeared on the phone, that might explain it. It would also hopefully let me painstakingly disable these apps, one by one, to find the culprit and disable it.
I say culprit because of something I stumbled across trying to research this--weirdly enough, in a message from the devs of Shazam. devs of Shazam They say that the issue has shown up on 4.4 and the cause appears to be one app somehow monopolizing access to the microphone. I could see this breaking the video as well, and potentially the audio playback if, as I assume, Google uses the mic to help tweak the sound of the speakers.
Anyone know any more about any of the aspects of this? I will be posting back myself as I learn more.
What happens if you factory reset without restoring any apps? In other words, factory reset, choose not to restore your apps (or don't attach to a Google account on initial setup, and do it post-setup). In other words, do you have an app that is blocking this access?

Trying this now. Thanks for the suggestion!
Update: Tried this. Did another FDR, signed in to one of my Google accounts afterwards, but haven't updated a thing. The audio/voice/video/bugs seem gone; however, the ****ty battery drain I had before is back. I'm playing around with some settings to find out what can be done. I'm also going down the list and updating the system apps one by one.
Does anyone know a good testing process (ie, should I run the app? do I need to restart after install? run the app and close? etc) that will keep me from getting false negatives (ie thinking an app isn't causing the problem when it is)?
Update again: I'm working down in alphabetical order through the factory apps. However, after the most recent factory reset, it appears that my battery drain is back, and as long as the battery drain is there, the phone works normally. So, not looking good in terms of battery+functionality for me. Went through the 40ish apps that were on the phone stock--after the fresh reset, the phone is working, but the battery life is shot to **** all over again. Not sure what to make of all this, and now back to being frustrated with a 4 hour battery life from the phone that never sleeps. UGH
Update yet once more:
For kicks and giggles, tried unchecking the "Touchless Control" in settings, to see what effect that would have on my battery. But, reasoning that whatever wakelock was keeping my phone up all the time had to be persisting after it was needed, I guessed I needed to reboot to get rid of them. Booting up again, I'm back to battery life without audio/video/etc. Very confused here. Apparently it has nothing to do with the apps installed, period.
Facing the Same problem please someone tell me What should i do
Same problem! No audio call

Please help me I have this same problem. No audio, cant play video, nd mic isn't working.
Hello,
So I've noticed on my S8+ that when the YouTube app is on the latest version 12.17.54 the crop to fit icon is no longer there but if I go to the Playstore app and type in YouTube and hit uninstall, it reverts back to version 11.43.54 and the fullscreen icon appears again and works fine. I've checked settings, done 3 factory restores, even set it up as a new phone on the 3rd try in case it was my Samsung account backup causing it but nothing fixes the issue. Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks
Isaac
