At random times when I tap the thumbnail for recent app the wrong app will open up. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?
I'm running the factory ROM and I'm not rooted. I recently did a factory reset and the problem still occurs.
I don't have a solution, but i have also noticed that happening. At first i thought it was my imagination and that i was just absent mindedly hitting the wrong app.

I can confirm the issue. Fortunately it doesn't occur frequently, but it must definitively due to some bug in the touchwiz.
Well, it does happen quite frequently on my device; like 4-5 times a day. This is somewhat frustrating.
It mainly occurs when I frantically switch between apps, hence at the worst possible times... Any help?
(For referencing, as those keywords did not popup in my googling: app switcher, wrong app)
If you wait 1-2 seconds after hitting the switch task button before selecting a task, the bug does not exhibit itself.
Couldn't find any reference about this problem on Google either.
Would love to see it fixed, it's a PITA!
My solution is to press about half a second before releasing, if you press long enough you get up a menu though so somewhere before the app gets a blue frame around to the menu pops up.
Also, I've noticed that it doesn't accure as frequently if at all when using the pen.. But maybe that's just mine, and I don't really like using the pen for such "browsing" so it's not really a solution.

I originally thought this was a bug with Android 1.6 but it's occurring on my Captivate as well.
I typically create a couple folders on my main screen to hold currently used apps and games. However, after a random amount of time the folder won't open. If I reboot the device the folders work as they should but some random time later typically one (just now both) will stop opening. I haven't been able to figure out any trigger for it. I'll just wake it up one time and it won't work.
Has anyone else had this issue? ... and was able to fix it?

Are you using LauncherPro? I use LauncherPro and this happens to me as well. Like you, I can only get it to open after rebooting.
Same problem here
Yes I am using launcherpro. However I was using motive before so if it is related to the frontend it must be something that both of them are doing.
How else has experienced this? With or without launcherpro?

This has happened once to me while using launcherpro. The only thing out of the ordinary I was doing was using maps with agps. After awhile I noticed I could no longer slide to different home screens or open folders. Killing everything with ATK didn't fix it either. Worked fine after reboot.

Happended to me several times while using LauncherPro, never while using ADW.Launcher.
Happened here too, using launcherpro
Same Here - Only Reboot Fixes
Exactly the same symptoms, annoying. Not sure if it's LPro or Samsung / Android issue.. hopefully a bug fix soon.
All of a sudden my Captivate is opening and closing my app drawer multiple times, and the phone vibrates as of I am hitting the button to do this.
I am on Cognition 2.16.
I have read that multiple vibes means that FVs are happening, but with the app drawer opening and closing like that, I'm not sure that is the case here.
Any ideas? Of something is FCing, is thee some log I can check?
I'm afraid I may need to do a completely fresh re-load.
Not sure if this is related, but when i first got a captivate the home button was hitting itself and you could see the home button dimming as if it was pressed.
All apps would close themselves, since the home button was being pressed.
Related? I am unsure, but the vibrates are suspect.

Did you find a resolution?
Whatever is going on with this thing it is killing me.I'm out of town now, but when I get back, I guess I'll have to try a complete refresh, with a master clear. Doesn't seen anyone has any input, do this must not be a very prevelent problem.
If anyone is paying attention to this little saga ....
I think I need to exchange my phone. I have flasted back to stock build (stock even before the 'fix' that they sent out)...and I just experieneced it do some of the wierd stuff.
I think I'll finish applying 2.17 Cognition, just for kicks...but expect it to still be problematic, and will likely return it tomorrow for a new one.
By the way, I'll add: it was generally acting like it was entering various random keys. Most often, like it was hitting the BACK key. But then it would possibly back through several things, such as opening the APPS, then closing, then reopening.
I could be in XDA app, reading a post, and all of a sudden it would back out.
Really strange.
My second unit did the exact same thing (my first unit had borked wifi). Oddly enough, mine didn't do it either until I flashed my first ROM onto it, but then again that only took five minutes from when I first opened the box. A flash back to stock didn't help. I had to exchange my unit, and have had no problems since. If you're even close to your thirty day window, run, don't walk, back to the store.

Got the new one. Flashing mhy cognition 2.16 to it right now. Fingers crossed.
I'm having an issue with opening hangouts and the keyboard not inputting anything into the message field. The keyboards responds to keys pressed but nothing shows up.
I have to close Hangouts from Recent Apps and reopen it to get the keyboard to work. Happens quite often but not everytime.
Problem is on a Nexus 5 with 4.4.2. This is my second Nexus 5 so I'm thinking it's a bug in the software but haven't found anyone else with the issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks

or it could be a mod that your using(xposed?), or an app that you have installed interfering. honestly, this is the first ive heard of such an issue. you are using the stock keyboard?

Yup stock keyboard. I can't think of any apps that may be causing the issue other than "Notify Me" I haven't looked deep enough into whether it only happens randomly when swiping from the popup notification or not.
Going to have to pay attention to that.

Same issue here, I found your topic on another forum OP
Stock nexus 5 here.
I've experienced this a few times. Usually I just back out and re-open the message thread and It's fixed.
Good to know I'm not the only one! It's a pretty irritating issue which is about to force me to find a new app for SMS!
So I solved my issue. I was using a notification app called "NotifyMe!"
Since removing it, I haven't had any more keyboard issues.
Yeah, even I face this issue... However, I'm on a custom rom and use SwiftKey.
I face this issue not only in Hangouts but also when I use whatsapp as well.
But it happens rarely so didn't give it much thought..

You can determine if it is a 3rd party app interfering by rebooting your phone into Safe mode. If the problem goes away, you know it's one of your apps such as the OP's "Notify Me" which appears to of been his cause for this issue.
I also had this issue running Swiftkey,switched tinthe aosp keyboard and haven't had an issue with it

I have an annoying issue where the blue anchor thing stops functioning properly when hangouts is in landscape... not sure if this is a common problem or not?
For several days now I've been having this problem appear in different apps. First, it happened on the Facebook app, then on an app called Goal, and most recently on the Textra (SMS Alternative). What basically happens is when I press on the back button (be it the capacitive button on the bottom of the screen or the button in the app that appears on top), the screen just refreshes. I'm not talking about a refresh like on an internet browser, but more like it redraws the screen really quickly. I basically get stuck in a specific screen. What's worse is that even if I do somehow get out of the screen,the next time I come back to the app (say I switched apps for a minute), I will be back in that same screen.
No matter what I do, it's almost impossible to get rid of the screen. I tried clearing the running apps, and even if I start it over again it will go back to that same screen. The only thing that has so far worked has been either clearing data for the app, which can be troublesome especially if it's an app that requires some sort of a setup, I end up having to do that all over again. Or in some cases, I reboot the system.
I have recently installed a memory booster software, and this only occurred to me know that I'm writing this message. I will uninstall it to see that was what was causing the problem, but if it isn't, does anyone have any idea what it couuld be?
I'm running NOVA Prime 3.0.2 on the Ultra MAXX.
Have you booted into Safe Mode to see whether this same behavior occurs?

How do I go about doing that? I'm not rooted.
This can be done on stock unrooted. Power off, but long press "Power off" to see the option to boot into safe mode.

Anyone less have issue were their recent apps disappear? I'll click the button and it says no recent apps, no matter what app I open. Only way to resolve I've found is to reboot and wholla, there they are.

I've had this happen a few times. Not sure what triggers it. One time a reboot fixed it, the other time it just came back. It's been described by others on other forums.
If the phone is 'locked' it won't display your history or recent apps and generally doesn't let you access the phone (sometimes this happens if I'm using Nav--other options to access the phone won't work until I formally unlock it again). But not sure this is the case here.
I was thinking maybe it's a RAM issue, but of course, how else to clear RAM but to clear all your running apps? But oops, you can't specifically do that!
