[Q] Download notification won't go away... - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever I finish downloading a non-Play Store file and clear it from my notification tray, a few minutes later it pops back up. I clear it again, but it returns a few minutes later, etc. I have to go into my apps screen and clear data for Download Manager to finally kill the notifications. (The same thing happens when I simply tap on the notification for a completed download, though nothing happens when I do that -- the notification simply disappears temporarily.) Moving the file out of the Downloads folder doesn't fix this either.
Any idea on how to fix this?

Reboot?

Browser glitch. Write to the browser maker. Dolphin can be that way sometimes. I just ignore it. They go away when dolphin shuts down. (Greenify)

Are you using ART runtime, maybe Dolphin is not compatible with that.

Browser "crashing" (no force close)

on my thunderbolt i've been messing around streaming a couple flash videos. On my browser, i have settings set to "on-demand" for plugins so I have to click a flash element before it even begins to load. now, occassionally, i'll open a tab with a flash video, and as soon as i type the flash element, the browser exits immediately and I re-open the browser to find all my tabs closed and it loads up google (homepage). Its only sometimes that this happens and I haven't checked to see if auto-loading flash elements make a difference, but I do know that it's happened to me on the thunderbolt's browser as well as in dolphin HD browser.
anyone ever experience this? I remember it happening on my OG droid, maybe just an android quirk?
Bump
Anyone? It just happened to me again when i wasnt even trying to play flash...its really annying when you have 5-6 tabs open with no easy way to restore them when i reopen the browser
Turn off add ons and see if that helps at all.

Maybe one of the sites you have open has a script stuck running and wont complete....
I've had this happen a few times. I wasn't trying to use flash, however.
Happened to me once so far on T bolt. Happened a few times on some other android phones ive had. Idk what causes it. Its random.
Yeah it's a mystery I guesd. Overclocked to 1.5ghz today though!
Go To apps in settings menu and look for the internet app and clear chache and clear data should work

Some odd Force Closing issues

Hey guys, since rooting my Ultra I have noticed that I have two particular apps force close...one is the Play Store, it just randomly force closes and once it does it won't stop and then I am forced to reboot the phone in order for it to work but surely enough it just randomly happens again.
Also I have a problem with what I believe is the phone app force closing and this too seems to be at random. Both force closes don't seem to have a specific trigger... I'll just unlock the phone and boom FC or I'm browsing the forums and BOOM FC.
All I've done was root the phone, freeze the amazon apps (sometimes I delete them) and then I also remove or freeze all Verizon apps minus My Verizon...ooh and I freeze all the "set up" apps but I am not sure if any of this has to do with the FC's.
I have kind of been curious of maybe when I restore my phone to stock if maybe I'm not using the correct files even though it says they or X1080 obake files...
Could anyone shed some light on my issue here or is anyone else going through this as well? It's very frustrating having these random FC's especially when its the play store!

The two attached images are two force closes I got by either a phone call being received or after turning off WiFi

That error seems to be pertaining to the Download Manager app. Try this;
1. Go to MENU
2. Go to SETTINGS
3. Go to APPS
4. Look for DOWNLOAD MANAGER under ALL
5. Disable it then enable it
6. Clear data and cache

It could all be related to the Download Manager app as is a system service that handles long-running HTTP downloads.

K, I am currently restoring my phone back to stock, after i re root and everything I'll see if the problem persists, if so I will go ahead and do as you suggested. Thanks again for insight.

chrome reload

Load a site, hit home button, hit chrome icon again, the tab reload. Is this new behavior ? it didn't happen in nexus 4.
I've got this issue too. Also happens on chrome beta. Did not happen on my old nexus 4. This behavior also happens sometimes when switching tabs. Tried changing the preload page setting but didn't help..

Same here. Opera browser does the same thing.

Lag/Stutter on my NEW M8?!?!

i JUST bought this phone yesterday and today is the first day i have actually gotten to use it and start setting it up. Its all stock. the only thing i did was install my general apps that i use all the time, and disabled the useless apps. verizon apps, amazon, some google play apps, etc. nothing major to the phone. whats happening is that when i play a youtube video or play a game, i get like a half second stutter or freeze then it continues normally. this happens on all games.
any ideas what it could be?
Bring that sucker back and get a replacement.
In all seriousness, this really sucks to hear. Have you tried unfreezing all previously frozen apps to see if the issue still persists? Since you haven't modified anything in the phone yet, you could perform a factory reset and see if that helps anything.

This phone should not stutter at all. It should fly through everything. If factory reset doesn't fix it, return it

I know. I was shhocked when I started to notice it. I ONLY noticed it on YouTube vids and games. The the menus there didn't seem to have a hiccup at all. Maybe an app I installed? I'll try unfreezing tho oak what one would cause that.
The other issue I'm having is with my chrome bookmarks. I have 2 folders on my chrome. "Other bookmarks" where All my computer bookmarks r stores and "mobile bookmarks" when nothing is stored. What I'm trying to do is copy say Facebook from other to mobile. But every time I go to do that it moves it from other to mobile and than its no longer on other bookmarks. How can I copy bookmarks over without moving them?

Alright so I unfroze all the apps and rebooted and still same issue. So then I froze everysingld app I could that I downloaded or Google app and tried again and still doing it. So it's not an app. Must be a system setting... And ideas what setting could cause this?

If a factory reset didn't fix it (if you've done one yet), just take it back. No system setting is going to cause intermittent lag. That would be the worst idea for a setting ever... "Check this box to slow down your system at random times."

I don't know if you can copy bookmarks through Chrome on your phone. Just do it from your desktop.

i was thinking the stutter may have been from play services... but it fully up to date.

I have an M8 that at first was super fast pretty much at all times.
I installed Next Launcher on it, and it was still fast, for at least a few weeks I think.
But now I regularly get nasty lag when using that launcher (tapping on home or whatever, even other app's).. lag on the order of even 1-4 seconds before an action takes place… not acceptable at all.
I saw a post somewhere about modifying a build.prop option to "always keep launcher in memory" or something like that. I believe the post said that the launcher may get unloaded from memory at times by Android if other memory intensive app's are running.
Just wondering if anyone else has encountered similar lag from a launcher like Next Launcher… or other lag just appearing over time.
If I do a restart, lag will go away for a bit, but then return… I think it's when the Launcher is loaded, and resident in memory, that lag goes away for a bit.
I didn't want to have to root just to modify build.prop, but I guess I may have to…
Thanks for any ideas…
p.s.
I have the AT&T HTC One M8… but I doubt that would matter for this issue.
[Fixed]
Checking "System persistent" under "Performance Settings" seems to have fixed most lag on Next Launcher for me.
I also checked "Hyper Fluency" which may also help.
Nice that this option was possible so I didn't have to root just to keep the Launcher fluid...

Not necessarily. I've used more than 10 different Android devices, including the HTC One M8, and every one of them stuttered to some degree, usually once every 2 or 3 seconds while watching YouTube or Netflix, playing games, etc. It has nothing to do with network speed or a device defect. But if it's really freezing for half a second, that's a different story.

Yes, it does. You're just not sensitive enough to notice.
I am having similar issue. Got the phone a few weeks ago, and have been getting used to it. First off, the battery life is not what people made it out to be, unless mine is faulty...
Getting to the point though, in the notification bar, if there is more than 2 notifications at the same time, say an email, a chat, and a text, when I unlock the phone, the entire top notification bar "flashes" in a stuttery manner... and until i remove the notifications it continues to do this. I attempted factory reset but had no success.. Any advice?

Youtube app wont play fullscreen videos

hey guys, some bug i noticed with m8 when playing youtube videos, the notification bar doesnt go away, also the main buttons stay there and I cant watch fullscreen. Closing the app and opening again will work, but if you continue to use it, the problem returns. anyone having the same problem?
Had it happen to me once but didn't experience it again since.

That worked for me, thanks :good:
I've unstalled the youtube update and install it again.
It seems inconvenient but this works. Completely close the YouTube app and find the same video after reopening the YouTube app , it should go full screen.
