My google maps app recently just turn bonkers!
It started to display boxes instead of text. I'm not sure what the heck is going on, only the menu items are in proper text.
Anyone of you faced this kind of problem? Anyone solved it?
Help greatly appreciated!
I'm not even sure where to begin helping you on this man. I've never actually seen it happen myself. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it? I'm sorry I can't be more help but that MIGHT fix it, not sure. That is wierd though.
hello all,
It has been 2 weeks since I have update my OS to version 5(Lollipop) and in the last days i have experienced problem with apps that are installed in my phone. Once i open an app after 30s it will go away in background without any action from me. Yesterday i got an update for chrome and it made it worse, now i do have problem with keyboard it doesn't show in some cases were i do have to insert password.
Is there any solution to such problems?
best regards,

Since updating to Lollipop I've also experienced a number of issues, including laggy home screen (it's blank for a second or two before the icons start loading, whereas before it was immediate) and huge number of Chrome crashes. Anyone know if there's anything we can do, or should we expect an update from Google?

Hi,
as i was not able to get any info regarding how to solve the issue, i did Factory Reset.
at the moment problem seems to be solved, i have left not installed now only 3-4 apps which I had before when the problem started.
2 hours after the operation finish i got nearly 10 google apps aupdate, chrome was one of them. it doesn't crash any more, keaybord shows up and works.
Also menu button works perfectly, when i press it all the apps show immediately, its doesn't take like 10-15sec for the apps to show up.
I do recomand to perform factory reset.
regards,
Last few days I had Kingo SuperBattery app installed on my android tablet and last time I turned it on the touchscreen was VERY messed up. I had a Messenger chat-head and some other notifications but the device was very very slow and I couldn't click/touch anything properly and it looked like I had one of those viruses you get on the PC that make it slow as sh** no matter the hardware you have. It looked like somebody else was using my device and all the widgets and icons in my home-screen were trying to move themselves and other weird stuff like that. The first thing I did was to turn-off the wi-fi and it was quite difficult and it didn't even work. I tried using the Clean Master Antivirus app and start a scan and it did not find anything but I also did a phone boost with it. I didn't see any problems with the the device while in the CM Antivirus app, it was kinda like a way of taking a deep breath and then again the same stuff in the home-screen. I couldn't click/touch on the chat-head from messenger and something was always trying to open my notifications slide. The reason I used my tablet was actually because I was trying to fix my phone using my PC (bootloop issue) and the only way to get the .ftf (ROM file) in the sd-card was to use another device (I couldn't find an sd-adaptor) so I tried using my tablet :/ but then here is the "new" problem I'm telling you about ^^^^^^^^^^. I prayed to God at some point and things started getting easier :angel:. I managed to go to developer options and enable "Show Touches" and that's when I saw there was always a dot right above the notifications area (for those who don't know, the Show Touches setting shows a dot on every spot where there is touch). I opened the CM app again and found that the persistent touch-dot (if that is its name) disappeared. I kind of found some tricks to use the touchscreen properly after I realised how the problem works. And then I uninstalled the Kingo Battery Saving app and the problem was gone! :laugh:
Moral lesson: be careful with third-party, rooting, and suspicious looking apps.

Greetings and welcome to assist. I'm glad you resolved your issue so I'll close this up

My S7 edge is running android 7.0. The latest release of the facebook app will not *stick* the notification sound I've selected under the app's notification settings. It stays on the sound/ringtone I've selected only until I reboot the device or force stop the app. I've tried clearing the cache and deleting the data - no change. I've also tried reinstalling the app - no change.
Is this a bug? Is anyone else experiencing this behavior on their device?
Thanks
In response to my own post -which often happens here on xda- my issue has been resolved. As it turns out, the latest public release of Facebook (v132.0.0.20.85) is seemingly plagued by a bug that reverts the app's user-selected notification sound. Apparently, however, not many folks are upset about this, since there's virtually nothing posted about it anywhere. It bothers me because I like unique notification sounds for each of my apps. That way I can tell which app has received a new message without looking at my phone's screen - it can be handy.
To resolve the problem, I simply downloaded and installed the beta version of Facebook (v133.0.0.16.83). I then tested it, and voilà ... the notification sticking problem was history. It would've been nice had someone replied in this thread to let me know that their installation of the most recent public Facebook app was afflicted with the same bug. That way I could have deduced how to fix the issue much sooner. But I guess it's a lot of trouble for most folks to simply type, "mine does that, too." Admittedly, it's not a huge issue... but it's certainly an irritant.
Just as title. It just started happening earlier today, which I'm not sure what could've caused it. (no falls or anything today in particular)
The blur is the exact same as Goodlock's blur feature when you opened the status bar (if you enabled it). I tried disabling it but some (yes not all of my games) stays blurred.
What I did earlier were reboot, which somehow fixes the blur. But at the same time, a different game app is blurred. More reboots and sometimes theres even less blurred games, and sometimes almost all of them are blurred.
Does it mean hardware failure?
hi, i am having the same problem. all my games are blurred on S6 Edge FB etc is fine

hi, i am having the same problem. all my games are blurred on S6 Edge, but the likes of facebook and twitter are fine. i hope a solution happens fast!!
Hello. All my games are blurred too. It started two days ago. Rebooting doesn't help. Clearing cache doesn't help. I also uninstalled and reinstalled one game to see if that would help and it did not. I downloaded a brand new game and was able to play it just fine and then shut it off and this morning when I turn it on, that game was also blurred. I contacted my phone service provider yesterday as I figured it was something wrong with my phone, and they couldn't figure it out either. I've been Googling for an answer so if somebody has one out there, please, please, give us the answer on how to fix this.
Fixed mine
Hi mate, i cleared all my phone and boosted cache. Then turned it off for around 30mins then turned it back on it worked fine
Thanks
Scott

I am also having this issue in my S6 with some games and apps.
The only way to solve it is to fully reboot the device.
When it is up again I have to open the game inmediatelly.
If I open something else first, and then the game, it becames blur once again.
Fixed blurred games.
I found another thread on this site with a suggestion and it worked. Of course now I can't find that thread but found this original thread. Anyway, here's how I fixed it. Go into settings, application manager, game optimizing service and then click on more, and undo updates. After doing this it was still blurred so then I did a force stop on the game optimizing service and then everything worked again. All my games are clear and functioning normally.

If I could put up 100 Thanks, I would. This was driving me crazy for two days. The annoying thing is I don't have Google set up to auto update ANYTHING, so I thought it was potentially a hardware issue. Must be a Samsung app update... I'll have to freeze the Samsung app service, I think...
To Dalmus
You're welcome, but thanks really needs to go to Ekrezem and PiperTim. It was on another thread here at xda-developers. I appreciate when solutions are made in clear terms for those of us who aren't as tech savvy. That's why I made my post step by step clear. I hope it helps a lot of people.
I applied the same solution, but my GOS keeps auto-updating, and auto update is turned off! Is there a way to stop this nonsence? Is there an official forum or something where we can report it??
Blurry games on S6 edge v6.0.1
My question exactly: did all recommended. Cleared cache, cleared that other thing with a reboot (pressing on/off, volume up, home button) managed to play one game with no blurry image but it started all over again...
I have a Samsung s6 edge v6.0.1
All help very much appreciated

Exactly! Since the 28th march this nonsense is on.... anyone have already solved it?
Found a permanent solution
I've found a simple solution, no wipe cache no reflash, no nougat upgrade etc
All you have to do:
1. Update game optimizing service via galaxy apps store (and dont ever clear data or uninstall)
2. Install samsung game tuner via google playstore and set default to maximum quality (don't forget to save your settings) and restart. You can uninstall this after.
