8.1 Problems and Solutions - Microsoft Surface

Hey fellas, recently I downloaded the 8.1 RT preview. Now I've come across a few problems but the main one is with IE 11.
Why does IE display mobile websites?

Because your on a mobile device perhaps. There is actually a setting for whether to load mobile or desktop sites in both IE10 and 11 I think.

The thing is it never used to go directly to the mobile site, So it's something that they've added into 8.1, The question was, is there a way of disabling this 'awful' feature.

I answered the question. There is a setting. I am not sure where as I am on an x86_64 desktop not an ARM tablet. I've also gone into control panel and totally disabled internet explorer.
It might only be accessible in desktop IE which has a more substantial options menu that ModernUI IE (however the settings still apply to both modes)

RT here. What website are you having problems with? All mine work perfectly. I do have another problem though. I get less battery with this than any tablet I've ever used. I get around 2 hours of use, and around 6 to 7 hours of standby. Suggestions?

I've noticed that since I've installed 8.1 I get about half of my previous battery life.
One of the reasons is that when you close apps like mail and ie11, they don't actually close anymore (they are still open as full programs in task manager unless you kill them).
This is obviously a bug as there is no foreseeable advantage to this, I did notice that even after closing IE remembers sites I was on. Personally I hate it.

Wow, haha, does that tablet use AA batteries?
But seriously that is a little odd, my battery seems okay, and I'm on a Surface RT machine. Well 8.1 uses more battery life because it needs it. If you've not already noticed apps don't close. (You can test this using IE, open it go on a site, then close. If you reopen the app you'll jump right back into your old session)
To improve your battery life, you can try a few things,
1. Check if Bluetooth is on.
2.brightness
3.USB peripherals.
4. You could also try a healthy charge, all you have to do is drain the battery completely, then charge it without use.
After it has completely charged drain again then charge. Do this once a month and it 'should' slightly improve battery performance.

Hvae you reported this to microsoft? its beta grade software, the whole purpose is for you guys to be finding these bugs and tell them so they can fix it before full release.

Does anyone know if the upcoming halo game will work on 8.1?

They've taken a very simple action and made it very awkward to close an app. Hopefully someone somewhere will read the forum posts and complaints that it destroys battery life and will remove this problem. If I wanted apps to stay open, I'd leave them open!

The other problem is when you want to close an app it takes too long to close, I think it's about 3 seconds

I have the stupid lock screen bug from here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...g/fa2cc68f-6b80-4625-8232-bf5a03f6620b?page=1. I've tried everything but reinstalling 8.1 and that's only because i can't get it to reinstall Package update to place 8.1 in the sore for download recognizes its already installed ad there's no way to remove it that i can find.

@feygor: WinRT ("Metro") apps, like Windows Phone apps, suspend automatically when going into the background unless explicitly coded to do otherwise. The use no battery power while suspended. I imagine Microsoft made that change to make it easier to "minimize" an app, since closing one is almost never needed.
You can also still close the apps by pressing Alt+F4 (admittedly this is annoying on the Touch or Type cover keyboards, where you must also press Fn in order to enable F4) or by right-clicking the app in the left-side task switcher and choosing Close.

You can also drag it from the task switcher to the bottom and have it close, I dont know if that still works on 8.1.
I am actually in agreement with everyone else though, why change that? If you want to minimise an app swipe into another or just hit the bloody start button.

I've had my first blue screen on 8.1 today, not sure what caused it.
It did over heat 3 times so maybe that had something to do with it.

Mines gotted a bit warm a few times but never actually overheated, what were you doing to it at the time?

Oh, sorry when I say it got hot, I mean I was sat out side in the scorching heat. (It was so warm it literally burnt my hands)
It now shows a temperature icon when it's getting warm,

There is also a new issue I've found in IE 11, but I can't tell them about it.
I've only experienced this on youtube, it seems t play the audio even when on other pages.
For example, I have a video playing right now, if I was to swipe from left to the right, it would go back a page. But the audio from that video would still be playing on the new page.

background, multitasking, task killer?

So being somewhat new to android.... the one thing I always wondered is, what is the BEST way to deal with certain programs? I am using advanced task killer... and if I bring it up right now, there might be 20 programs runnings... so I "kill" them all.....
open it up again right away, 6 of them restarting already.... and I am talking about apps I rarely use and do not need in the background at all.... I can only assume this adds to battery drain and slow down.
So my question is, is there a better app I should be using... or is there a way to tell an app to only launch/work on demand etc?
any input appreciated
thx

i just switched over from LauncherPRO to GO Launcher and it's fantastic !!!!!!!
with build in Tasks Manager (with option to kill each app or kill all running apps)
thanks to you both, I will give it a try/read
one question though... once you kill them, do they stay killed... or fire back up pretty quick? Battery life is really a non issue, I just wanted to know if I should be doing more!

Free memory is wasted memory in the Linux environment that Android runs, so Android's memory manager will always try to load up stuff that it thinks you'll be using to have it ready and waiting to go when you want it.
That's the irony of people trying to use task killers on Android; most of the time it's pointless, since Android will just re-load the apps anyways. Sometimes a rogue app that just won't close and is sucking up juice unreasonably should be killed, but generally, it's best to avoid using any kind of task killer. The links provided by someone earlier should give you a good understanding of this.

i would normally agree with you on this
but i've come across a dozen apps that gets HUNG in memory, and partially locks up the phone
and the only thing that can fix it, is by Killing the app or apps that hung
without a task killer, the only thing to do is to take out the battery
yes, some times it gets so bad that it wont even launch the shut down menu
and the weirdest thing is that usually those apps that hung, they work normally, except for some conflicts with other apps, every now and then

That's why I said "mostly", not "always".
Apps like that would be removed from my system until the developer fixed them.
Never underestimate the power of a poorly written app to bring any system to its knees, desktop or phone.

[Q] Chrome memory management issues on N5?

Was wondering if anyone else with an N5 has had a similar experience:
My tabs in Chrome tend to reload/refresh. CONSTANTLY. If I have multiple tabs open (even only 2), swiping from one to the next almost always results in the page reloading. If I use the multitask button to to another app and then immediately back to Chrome, all of the open tabs will refresh/reload. Even pressing the home button and immediately reopening Chrome results in a refreshing of the tabs.
This is extremely annoying. Not only does it waste time, but it's killing my monthly data allotment too when I'm off WiFi. On my N7 and N4 I don't get this behavior -- I can have several tabs open without them reloading after switching apps or going to the homescreen.
Is there anyone else experiencing this? I wonder if it's related to 4.4's "improved" memory management features.
Yep I'm noticing this behavior as well. Very annoying.
Just curious, do you happen to sync chrome to a pc with the option set on the pc to reload tabs on open? Wonder if that behavior is somehow transferring over?

By "reload tabs on open," do you mean to open up a specific set of websites when I open the browser? I do have that enabled, but it's never affected any of my mobile devices (my phone and tablet does not open up to the pages like my laptop and desktop do). Even so, I have Chrome set up with the same configuration/settings on my N4 and N7, and they don't have this issue.
It's gotten bad enough for me to pop my SIM back into my N4 and use it while I'm waiting for someone to bite on my craigslist ad.
I am seeing this as well. I didn't notice until you mentioned it, because I just came from a RAM starved gnex which has to reload everything. But I am surprised because I can open like 5-10 different apps and switch between them with no reloads and then to have chrome do it for every page just seems odd.

I hate to say it but I'm considering going back to my ancient galaxy nexus at least for now. For me it's voice dialer problems, wifi, and wireless charging issues. Seems like they keep re-breaking the same stuff on every major release of Android.

can i make certain apps force my screen to stay awake?

It's been a while since I owned a Android and I just moved over to honor 8 from an iPhone.
On my iPhone certain apps forced the screen to stay awake, mostly gps apps and also pokemon go which my gf plays all the time on my phone.
Pokemon go also uses the gps so I'm guessing it's all related to the gps or video since that's another situation where the screen stays awake longer.
So, is this possible on Android and on honor 8?
Changing the autolock is not what I'm looking for since that changes it in all apps and outside of apps.
Thnx
Take a Look an Tasker-App.
Maybe it will give you the solution.

You talking about the app called 'tasker' from 'crafty apps eu' in the play store that's about $3?
EDIT: Ok, it took me a while to get it sorted and to figure out why it stopped working all the time (it was the battery saving process that kept killing it's permissions)
But now it's working like a charm.
Thank you so much, I never even knew this app existed. I haven't fully figured it out yet but I can see huge potential in it.
Every Android user should definitely have it installed.
This is a bit off-topic, but do you know any other extremely useful apps like this?
Thnx again.

Android Pie Stable: Issues and Fixes Thread

Since we've been talking about Pie in at least four different threads, I thought I'd create a single one to address, list and possibly fix all the issues that are being experienced with the gradual release of Android 9 on Nokia 7 Plus. Mods: I'm assuming this is helpful, but if you think this thread is redundant feel free to delete it.
IMPORTANT: Before you do anything or think something is broken, make sure you restart the phone twice once you've installed the update. If issues are still there, you might go for a hard reset which is always helpful for creating a clean system environment.
In any case, you're welcome to add to this list and help others find solutions. This is what I found so far:
Battery draining
Most users noticed a decrease in SOT, for some this is even 2-3 hours less than on Oreo. While it might be peculiar to Pie itself, it is worth noticing that the new Adaptive Battery feature takes some time to adjust according to how you use your phone and learn what apps to handle and how. You should also check that no app permissions have changed since the update, or that no unwanted processes are misbehaving because of it (see below).
@trveller72 points out a neat trick: deactivating the automatic Battery Saver (Settings > Battery > Battery Saver > UNCHECK "Turn on automatically") seems to extend battery life a lot.
Heating issues
Regardless of the SOT, these should not be there. I experienced the thing myself and in deep October no phone should burn into one's pocket, whether idle or when doing some light browsing. If you're having heating issues, this is most likely related to processes misbehaving and abusing your CPU when they shouldn't (either because of an application bug, or because of something gone wrong after the update). In this case you should launch the ADB command
Code:
adb shell top
which returns the CPU usage of your phone (make sure, of course, the phone is connected to your computer and has USB debugging enabled). This might give you an idea of anything strange going on and allow you to act accordingly. Or you could go for a hard reset like I did, which is a nice overkill solution and grants that you carry over no unwanted issues from Oreo - and it also recovered some SOT for me.
No adaptive brightness fade effect
I experienced this myself: the screen goes from 0 to 100 brightness in a millisecond and you're blinded forever, never to see your loved ones' faces again. This might possibly be an issue with the personal settings brought over from Oreo. In my case, I solved it to a degree by playing with the bar a bit, and it was solved completely with a hard reset. I think the fade effect is a bit faster in Pie anyway, so there is a degree of difference you should not worry about.
App notifications not disappearing
Notifications for some apps tend not to disappear when you swipe over them. For instance, this is true with the "HDR processing" progress bar of the PixelCamera mod (or better yet, in some versions of it). No fix for now, you just have to force quit the app and hope it is made compatible soon.
UI and Animation glitches
As with all first releases, this one is not perfect yet. I've personally encountered some animation glitches with the reception of nested notifications (especially in the lock screen), non-standard DPI settings, app-switch animations, volume control when writing on your keyboard, and minor stuff of the sort. While most of these are system-related and will have to be fixed in next releases, for in-app glitches make sure they are correctly updated and compatible with Pie; you could also try deleting cache/data, uninstalling and reinstalling them.
In particular, some report an issue where the bottom part of the touchscreen stops working after prolonged inactivity, regardless of the navbar settings. @k3dar7 suggests using XDA Navigation Gestures (no root).
Digital Wellbeing
Yes, this is not compatible with Nokia 7 Plus yet, despite it being in DP4 (iirc), the feature is still unavailable although installed on the phone and already collecting data, and can be enabled by subscribing to the beta program (thank you @divvykev). Downloading it as an app from Play Store won't be possible, but @Redcap56 kindly points out that a working version is available for download at APKMirror.
"Non-issues"
(i.e. things you're probably complaining about but are actually feature-dependant)
- The new gesture-based navigation is not available. It's there, but you have to turn it on under Settings > System > Gestures > Swipe up on Home button
- Mobile data is always active even when on a Wi-Fi. Yes, unlike before it is, but you can turn this feature off in Developer Settings.
- There is a maximum number of possible notification icons before the dreaded "etc. dot" appears. Nothing that can be done, unfortunately. This was decided by Google regardless of not all phones having a notch.
- File Manager is gone. And FilesGo is now there, like the child you never wanted. And most likely you never wanted it because it doesn't allow you to browse folders. The old file manager can still be accessed through the Download app or in System > Storage > Files. If you can't see the internal memory, make sure the option is ticked in the three-dot dropdown menu.
Digital Wellbeing does work!
Installing from apkmirror worked for me: apk/google-inc/digital-wellbeing (I am still not allowed to post url)

Thanks for the heads-up, it works indeed.
By the way, before getting the APKMirror version I had just found out that Digital Wellbeing is actually installed on the phone, just inactive.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vYzZE5zB3LNLAckAUlRMkWoXPMjkD42M/view?usp=sharing
When I updated it with the APKMirror one it could show me statistics from all the past day, which means two things: one, it's already collecting data and it's creepy. Two, it's in a working state as it was in DP, so shall we expect that it becomes activated with the next OTA? (or when marketing-wise it's no longer important to make it Pixel-exclusive?)
If I search on internet, Digital Wellbeing is only available on beta version for Pixel phones on Android Pie only.
I think, when the beta is finished, we have all access to this functionality
Wellbeing is available. I found it be looking for the app in the store but found that it was installed. Signed up for the beta and hey presto....there it is. Can't see it being of any use to man or beast but hey ho.
Am on Pie stable btw.

Thank you, I don't find it useful either but this is good information indeed! Post updated.
I don't see any difference between latest beta and this so called stable one, all the issues persists.
Phone heating is really pain in the a$$, especially while charging (most of the time, not always though). I have seen "Temp High, Stop Charging" notification 3 times in a row now.
I have some issues with displaying apps since Pie. For example, when I'm playing music with Youtube Music and Maps has a picture-in-picture overlay the YouTube music app will flicker heavily and the album art won't be visible anymore.
Same for the normal YouTube app and SwiftKey.
Anyone else experiences this?

In Snapchat messages, the screen can flicker so much it's unusable. It's usually cause by putting the cursor before an already typed word.

High temperature while charging is very, very bad. If you can't solve this, I'd suggest you go back to Oreo before the battery is ruined.
In any case: did you update directly from DP? Did you check for strange processes via ADB? If you haven't done it, a hard reset can be very helpful as well.

Not with the same apps, but I experience this as well. Only advice I can give is to try what you can for single apps (i.e. clear cache/data, uninstall, reinstall) but you probably did that already. If it isn't solved this way, only the next OTA (and/or the next app update) will solve it.
But yeah, this is definitely a thing. I have heavy flicker in some setup wizards for Google apps (most notably Lens) and the volume control will flicker at all times if shown while typing on the keyboard.

Actually that should suffice AFAIK. If I were you, I'd try downgrading to a stable Oreo and updating from there. I'm really not sure about it, but probably some bad code is brought over from the beta? But that temperature is definitely not normal, especially if you already did a factory reset.

Not sure if you did that already, but the adb command I wrote in the first post can be useful to check that. Good luck anyway!
The stable pie update is a full rom, not an incremental update, so it doesn't matter from which version you are upgrading, after a reset, no trace of the old operating system remains
I might be wrong but I think the issue with the screen on time not lasting as long as it did in oreo in one of the updates they decreased the speed the battery charges or the curve it charges at, I can't remember where it was mentioned but there were issues and they said it will be addressed in pie, this could be related to the battery getting hot while charging as mentioned by @valexbast .I personally haven't had this issue with screen on time being less but I use my old Samsung charger 2Amp 5V most of the time.
I am having (albiet minor) bugs when adjusting the display density and font size both to their smallest. The lock screen pin entry sticks to the left side of the screen, and notifications & quick settings change themselves randomly to the wrong density and back again. Nokia support refuses to acknowledge these bugs exist but I have seen a few people around the web with similar issues. I did not have any of these issues on DP4 which is interesting!

While helpful, I noticed that Nokia support is often instructed to "pacify" the user and assure them everything is normal. But I guess they're taking notes. I haven't tried changing display/font size but the bugs you describe should be easy enough to fix in the next update.
I don't think any of this is app-related anyway, even when we're talking notifications from certain apps. So here's to waiting.

OnePlus 7 Pro Slowdown

It seems after about 48 hours of up time. The phone begins to lag extremely bad. Mostly when I first start typing it'll take 3 seconds or so for it to finally catch up to my typing.

Hmm really. I'll have to give that a shot ?
EDIT
I don't see Gboard even under the battery optimization. Doesn't give me an option to remove it from optimization. Pretty much all apps run slower around the 48 hour mark it's not just Gboard. But that's weird it's most annoying.

Could be an app leaking memory (not properly returning it when it's no longer needed). Have you added any new apps recently? Try freezing them.
Or perhaps a bad app update?

I'll have to check apps here and there cause I have a pretty long app list but nothing that would run in the background much. But nothing new that I'm aware of. Not seeing my memory usage maxed out or anything. I'll have to take another look after my phone's been on for 48 hours.

Show system apps from menu
Also if you have Alot of apps installed you can try to turn off sync
This should take Alot of strain away from apps trying to update/check for updates
Stuff like snapchat, Facebook, and other apps with frequent updates.
If you have magisk/EdXposed installed it could be these as well since they are trying to force the system to change code.
It kinda depends on what you have done to your device, if it's stock then sync or doze could be the problem

Sync isn't on for most apps I have. Everything is stock other than having magisk installed. Like I said oddly battery life and phone speed are great until 48h mark or so. I'll just have to work on narrowing it down from apps and stuff. Gboard isn't under any optimization settings. I can't remove it even with system apps enabled. Because if it's just cause the app is being dozed I would like to remove it.

Sync is either on or off. I don't believe you can select certain apps, atleast I'm not aware of this as I just turn it off unless I need updates
Is the battery dead or is it being charged over the 48h.
If the apps being forced to sleep it has the tendency to lag and be unstable (stuff I noticed with my s5 before this phone)
Have you tried another keyboard? (I use SwiftKey and have had no lagging issues unless I messed with stand by apps via developer options)

Haven't tried another keyboard like I said it's not just the keyboard the apps also seem slow but the keyboard is also slow. The battery is fully charged at the time of the slowness. Sync I see for multiple apps overall.

This is what I guess.
Some rouge app.
I'm running 10.3.0 and my phone is stable. No slowdowns and no reboots.
It will stay up for weeks if I let it.
Normally I reboot after a few days, just because.

Well that's good news we are on the same update. Do you have magisk? Or anything

Does clash of clans, cod mobile, or old school runescape run on your device? Or do you get blackscreen?
Seems it only happened on the new 10.3.0 / 10.0.3
It use to run fine on older 10.0.0
I think it could be the "backup" since it broke these apks into parts.
Its kinda annoying because I haven't been able to use these in over a month.
And OnePlus is in hiding due to the cornavirus.
It is the gboard sometimes and it usually starts to happen wit whatsapp and Instagram
It's the gboard it's hide arrow is sometimes visible even if you're not using now I don't know if this happens on your phone but using whatsapp or Instagram(nightly) whenever you go to Home screen from typing a message there's a small arrow that will appear at left bottom that collapses the keyboard. also there's a delay in status bar pull down sometimes whenever the problem latter mentioned starts to occur.

It seems after about 48 hours of up time. The phone begins to lag extremely bad. Mostly when I first start typing it'll take 3 seconds or so for it to finally catch up to my typing. This happens Everytime I use the keyboard after those 48 hours or so. Apps seem to open very slowly as well after this time. A reboot seems to fix it and it runs fine after that until then. I've tried about 3 different kernels and face the problems with everyone. Not seeing any odd battery drain either. Just curious as to what would be causing this. Only module I have installed is google framework (for the dialer)
