everytime i exit a game big pitcture UI disappears - Shield Q&A

Every time i exit a game within steam the UI disappears and all i have all screen is the moving background within big picture mode, i can here stuff in the background and the sounds when i move the buttons on the shield but still nothing reappears on screen forcing me to everytime i exit a game having to exit steam and reconnect just to them get the UI to appear again
can anyone help

i just tested again just now and same thing happens
also Call of duty Black Ops II doesnt have sound when i play :S
i have tryed messing with the settings but the sound ingame doesnt seem to work yet the game runs perfect
steam ui sounds and everything work fine just ingame with black ops 2/zombies

I can confirm observing this same behavior both with Shield itself and with Limelight. My host machine is running GFE 1.7.1. It seems that the streaming service runs some other executable which Steam thinks is a running game (you can catch it exiting sometimes when you manually close steam after this happens). This running program causes Steam to suspend the UI and only exits when Steam closes. My guess is it's a GFE bug.

yeah i wonder if there's even a fix to get the ui to re-appear

[Q] Android Market & Music Player Slow?

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!

Heroes of order and chaos questions

hi all, just downloaded this game and it seems pretty solid. However i want to know how i can "disable" the rest of the phone while playing, so it doesnt get minimized when i get a call/msg and instead the call/msg just gets ignored so i can see later as missed call, once u reopen the game u have to start it all over again.
Also, how can i set the xplay resources so they are all directed to the game, most times i have to reboot the phone just to play, and if it starts laggin at some point it crashes.
TY

as i mentioned before i do want to get the calls, just dont want to get tabbed while playing.
As also mentioned before my problem with game crashes is not because of network signal quality, but just cellphone resources. Im actually playing offline.

Having some apps crashing and not working correctly.

So I've been running CM13 by Sultan for the past few months and I've noticed a few apps are behaving weirdly. I'm not sure if these apps are having bugs with 6.0 or CM13. I did not have these bugs back on 5.1 / CM12.1.
If I use the NX Bus app (local buses app), when I click on the map button, the app crashes and force closes. This means I cannot look at stops or bus times.
Also, bejeweled blitz crashes if I do a 'free retry' by watching an advert and then returning to the challenge mode, the game doesn't load the challenge correctly, sometimes the score is not visible and special gems do not appear.
The Three UK app also doesn't not refresh my allowances when I refresh them, it just seems to time out and not receive the updated balances.
The Facebook app causes a persistent notification about not being connected to a cast, and doesn't let me remove the notification or close the casting notification. (there is an x in the notification but it does not close it) (it also does nothing when I tap on it)
The XDA app also can sometimes take a very long time to connect to the server and times out.
Its like some apps are not linking correctly or something. The Facebook one is weird, I cannot see any setting within the app to switch off the casting mode.
Should I try a different version of android?
These issues aren't particularly bad but noticeable and annoying.
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks

Love the phone. Got some issues though... Anybody knows a solution?

Hey all.
Finally got the P2P today, and so far it has been a very positive experience. I'm coming from the rather old Samsung Galaxy Note 3, so its a major upgrade in terms of screen size, resolution and raw power.
There a few annoyances though, which I really hope there is a solution for.
First, on the galaxy note the left button acts as a settings menu throughout the ui. Is there something similar here? Or at least a workaround?
Second, in full screen apps I can't simply pull down the notification bar by sliding down at the top. I have to exit the app, which is so impractical i'm thinking it must be a bug?
Hope somebody knows something i don't.. thanks in advance .
Re: the menu button in the tray, that's gone on all new Android phones. Blame Google. Menu's in the app now, upper right corner, the vertical ellipsis. Means if you have an old program without a built-in menu & the developer hasn't updated it, you're screwed. Won't be able to open menu.
And the top notification area? I just tried pulling it down in 4 different apps--worked in all. Try pulling from top/off-screen to down.
Thanks for the reply.
Guess I will have to live with the settings change like everyone else.
Much worse is the lack of notification bar. I tried with apps like chrome, gmail and 9gag that displays the bar at all times. No problem there. The problem is in fullscreen apps that hides the bar. Like the camera app, games and the AR apps. Tried your advise with placing finger outside screen, no change. The problem is both in portrait and landscape mode.

Got the latest update? December brought mine to PB2-690Y_161202
Yes, got the latest update.
I'm gonna try a factory reset tonite to see if that helps.
Tried a factory reset, no change. Gonna write to Lenovo to see if a fix is coming.
What apps are you having the issue with being unable to pull down the notification tray? I play a few games on my P2P and they all run full screen and I am able to pull down the notification window in each of them.
I play Dominations and Boom Beach mainly. Also got the problem on the Tango apps that use full screen. Such as the Dino app, Holo e.t.c.
Odd fact: When the app runs a video, like the beginning of the dino app, the notification bar can be pulled down. But when it goes to the regular mode, I can't.
Assuming you haven't messed with anything in Developer settings or put an app on it that is screwing with the touchscreen, then you absolutely have a buggy phone. You need to return it.
This phone make calls over 4G VoLTE?
Notification pull down

I tried Boom Beach, Star Warss Force Arena, and Hill Climb Racing and I cannot pull the notification tray down in any of them. This is not really a problem for me. I know I could on my last phone(Nexus 6), but it doesn't bother me that I can't now.

New multitask beheavior in nougat popup windows

Hi,
I was a big user of popup window in MM and recently I upgraded to nougat to see that it was changed a lot.
Some changes don't bother me, but one broke almost all my use. Before, when I played some game or had an app working I could open one popup app and the app in background (but open) would still working like it were in the front. Now it seems that when I focus on the popup everything in background app is stopped. Any loading in game stops, facebook stops video, etc.
Is there any way I can use the app in popup with full multitasking like it was in MM? It's not just a popup issue.. the same thing happens with split screen.
