JB and sense4+ bugs

So i wanted to see if im the only one who get some of the bugs below:
1) keyboard(any keyboard) falling animation stops in the middle and disappear instead of going all the way down whic is kind of ugly and make it looks like lagging.
2) and the more crucial is this(photo attached) - contacts names in people section randomly getting blank and the only way to know which contact it is, is to enter the contacts edit and see the name there.
couldn't be more annoying!
any other bugs we should know?
just noticed there is a bug thread already. please move this to there, sorry.

Em ya wow to that bug. If you have TWRP or CWM try wiping cache and dalvik.

all stock never touched anything.

Since I updated to Jelly Bean I experience very bad reception. Almost all the time "ermerncy calls only". Factory reset doesn't work. Looking at costom roms atm...

I've got a stupid bug (on stock) when you click power off and the screens black u click power button it shows lock screen then powers of again have to do soft reset to make it boot properly again

i just tried, and it didnt help :\

Which rom are you on?

Maps broken
I have a HTC One S locked to Orange/T-Mobile/EE network which is stock ROM, haven't had the need to mess around with it just yet. It received the OTA update to JellyBean 4.1 on Christmas Day, which installed fine without any problems.
Now I find that regardless of what I do, the maps and navigation crashes within a couple of minutes of use. This part is annoying since it seems to work and then anywhere between 1 minute and 5 minutes it simply stops with a force close message. I did a factory reset to see if this would clear the problem, but it hasn't.
The details of my phone are:
Android Version 4.1.1
HTC Sense Version 4+
Software Number 3.16.401.8
HTC SDK API Level 4.63
Kernel Version 3.4.10
Build Number 3.16.401.8
Maps Version 6.14.2
Would be interested to hear from anyone else who has this problem, or more so from anyone who has it and managed to cure it. Else I will have to look at downloading an alternative ROM, one which has working maps!

There is a thread regarding the google map issue already.

I often have loss signal...any idea?

I've seen a topic already.. but the keyboard, especially in WhatsApp is so horribly slow on JB.. not just the One S, Galaxies etc. have it too.

I'm definitely having signal issues. Anyone else's WiFi taking a long time to automatically connect? On ICS wifi used to connect as soon as the phone was unlocked but now I'm waiting up to a whole minute for it to connect!

no problems with wifi here.
i already said im using all stock never touched device.
very weird

Maps

I searched the HTC One S forums for maps crashing and found one which is to do with Cyangenmod ROM as opposed to the stock ROM. I've posted it in here simply because it only started after the JB 4.1.1 update was completed over Xmas. (If I search again for maps crashing, I now get two which is the original thread and this one.)
If you can point me to the thread which deals with this problem, then I would appreciate it greatly, as it is really getting on my nerves. More so since I've removed all updates for Google Maps, they're now back to the stock JB version, and it still crashes.
Cheers

ok, so i just backed up my contacts to my sim card and deleted from phone and google account than i imported from sim and re synced and now the people bug is gone.

Google Data Back Up is not backing up my current data.

During the new phone setup in Lollipop, after flashed new rom, there is an option to restore old settings. Mine said that the last setting it back up is 27 days old. In the last few weeks i've flashed various roms and have setup my device as "new". For some reason it is not updating and backup my current settings and apps.
The 27 days backup settings have apps and settings that i no longer want to use. I like flashing new roms so it be nice to have settings and app back up current. I have tried various things to try to get my phone to update the settings with google but it is not working. Is there a way to force the phone to back up my current setting to google?
Thanks.
EDIT: If the back up is working for you, can you guy let us know so we have more info to troubleshoot the problem

No, but a couple others have had the exact same problem.

I've been having the exact same issue.

I just went into the settings/backup option and clicked to turn off auto backups. It says it will also delete all backups on the servers. Hopefully next clean flash on set up it will show no backups and then I can turn it back on and thing will work from there.

Let us know how it goes.....

Did a clean flash this morning and my old backups were still there even though the pop up said they world be deleted. Instead of setting up as new I used the last backup from 28 days ago. Maybe the next clean flash it will update the data.
This is very frustrating.

Same here is there a way to Fix it

Yes, and this problem isn't Nexus 5 specific! What the hell is Google doing there? We need this feature. On my opinion, they can delete the old ones, so there is space for the latest. Oh well, Google....

Just did another clean flash after choosing an older backup to continue from. It did not work and did not backup any of my old settings.
I guess Google thinks we should only have 10 backups for infinity and after that we're screwed? Maybe they hope we will setup new accounts? I know this will only really affect tech enthusiasts but come on man.

I tested flashed as well. Turned off the back up option for a few days and flashed stocked 5.0 and setup new device., run for a few days, and flashed CM12, still no new back up choice.
When you guy select the backup to restore, how many choices do you have? I only have one and it is about 34 days old. I dont think google would limit it to 10, maybe they just turn off that feature for now???
Hopefully other people can chime in as well. Let us know if the back up is working for you.

I have only ten choices to choose from.
I've been searching for a fix for a week or two now and can't find anything that works. I can't even find good contact info to directly email Google and get the old backups erased.

I'm on an AOSP Lollipop rom on my Galaxy S5, and having same problem (still!)...
This really sux when doing a fresh install every couple of days...
Any news on this?

How can we fix this???

Weird. I just made a new install. And for the first time in a month I could choose a device from today! Yay!

You could always chose to setup as a new device, just click on the drop down during install and select new device instead of an older back up.
I gave up on finding a fix. My theory is that this is new to lollipop and maybe Google turn off the feature or something. Probably due to bug. I just shelled out money for titanium back up.

Have you tried removing the phone from googles security page? That should reset everything. Disclaimer, I am not having this problem and have not tried tried my tip myself.

[Q] Ongoing issue with "Chrome is not responding"

Firstly I want to apologize if there's a thread on this. I tried searching and didn't find anything. Google fails me as well.
For a few months now, Chrome has been driving me insane on my stock nordic Z3 (5.0.2 with the .690 firmware). I also have the most recent version of Chrome installed.
Every single time I open the app, it works for about 2 seconds, then completely freezes for around 15 seconds after which a message pops up stating "Chrome is not responding. Would you like to close it?" If I press "OK", it obviously closes the app and the problem appears again when I restart it. If I choose "wait", Chrome works just fine until the next time I open it. EDIT: The freezing problem started happening three times in a row a few days ago.
This happens every single time I open the app, whether launching it or opening it from the recent apps menu.
I'm pretty certain the problem has been around since the v39 build of Chrome, as 38 worked just fine. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it. Uninstalled updates and re-updated it, updating to lollipo didn't help, I also did a completely fresh install today (repairing via Sony Bridge for Mac) and it didn't help either. And apparently I can't go back to v38 anymore since lollipop doesn't seem to support it.
I would really want to use Chrome, as I've gotten used to it and enjoyed it quite a lot. I'd really appreciate the help.

Try clearing the data in settings - apps - chrome

I have done this too. Also, the problem persists even with completely fresh installs of Chrome.

Remove your google account, restart the phone and restore your google account

Tried it, sad to say it didn't work either. Interestingly it now does the same 15 second freeze, but without the error message in the end. Curious indeed.
EDIT: Got the error message again.

Does this happen on Wifi or on data?
If on wifi is always the same router?

I Use data 90% of the time, and various routers when on wifi. The problem occurs in all circumstances.

Are you rooted? Unlocked bootloader?
You say you are on the Nordic version of .690, is that the original region for the device you bought and the area you reside in?
Can you revert back to KK by flashing a FTF for your device and region and try V38 again to see if that works still.

I have a completely untouched device. So no root, locked bootloader and it's always been that way. Thus Nordic is the original region of my device.
I'd rather not flash back to kitkat, but I can tell you that I tried reverting back to v38 before updating to lollipop and it worked normally without the freezing issue.

This is my version of chrome on Lollipop. Can you update to this? I am also not rooted so you should be able to update to this

I have the same version of chrome as you. The problem has persisted during every single update after v38.

ok without logs I can go no further with this. Is there any chance you can pull some logs off your device?

Does this require root? One of the apps I tried is requiring it and the other one isn't doing much either. Should I be doing something to make it work?

Maybe try the beta version of chrome in case it's a bug which has been fixed but not yet rolled out to chrome. Perhaps try this first as it'll be quicker!
Perhaps it's some data associated with chrome that's getting pulled down after each restore. Perhaps you can try, on a desktop pc, backing up your bookmarks and then deleting them, and clearing chrome's data on your phone, then trying again? And if that doesn't work try getting rid of extensions (not that I think they should be pulling them down as chrome for android doesn't yet support them, although I'm sure I read years ago that one day they would). And anything else associated with your chrome account.
Another one, perhaps quicker (not sure) would be to see if you can associate your phone with a new google account with no previous chrome use and see if it goes wrong with that one. It would help to rule out account-related problems.
Another possibility is that it's not chrome causing the problem but something it relies on; google play services, for example. Perhaps clear data on any apps chrome could conceivably use.

I'm happy to report that my problem is now solved, though still a giant mystery.
My upper speaker broke and I had to get it replace under warranty. I got insanely lucky as they replaced both front and backside glass pieces, the frame, the screen module itself and of course the speakers. So I've now got a brand-new looking phone So happy.
Anyway, I complained about the software being a mess so they also did a complete reinstall and after that Chrome works absolutely perfectly. As magically does everything else too. Not yet a sign of lollipop's previous lagging and rebooting.
It still bugs me, however, that why would Chrome suddenly start having this unreasonable issue. I had tried everything suggested in this thread and nothing worked. My own clean install didn't work. I'm really quite bothered by this.

[EDIT] Phone completely buggy even after full reset (back to locked stock)

Hi everyone,
I noticed that yesterday and today face recognition was not working and was wondering why. I assumed the cam could be dirty so I opened the camera and switched to front cam, the app crashes immediately.
After several tries I restarted the phone and the result is the same...
Not sure if it's a software or hardware problem, can anyone help me debug?

Ok this is getting worse
I updated from Beta 18 to Beta 19 hoping it would fix the issue. After the update even the back cam wouldn't work...
So I assumed there was a software issue. I factory reset my phone and it still doesn't work...
Any ideas please/ I am desperate...

If it is getting worse with beta log an event with it send it to oneplus. And maybe try a older beta again or a different firmware all together. Would probably be your best bet. Just weird your having the issue and so far no one else has chimed in on it

So apparently I now have this issue:
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/camera-not-working.771655/#post-20390562
The storage is encrypted despite the factory reset . I will try to factory reset again once I get home (travelling right now)

Not sure how to fix this issue...

I tried wiping Cache, Data and System and doing a full reinstall but I still have the same bugs that seem to come from encrypted storage... Not sure how to solve this, should I wipe storage?

I did the "Format Data" in TWRP which is supposed to format everything and remove encryption and I still have the same bugs:
-Both cam not working
-SMS not working
-Amazon not working
-Youtube not working
etc

I completely erased the phone, used MSM tool to recover it and it still has the same bugs... What's crazy is that I know it's an access issue because one time everything started working again... Until I rebooted and it stopped

I used this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389) to keep the phone uncrypted and I am still seeing the same bugs, I have no idea what to do next...

Very same scenario with mine! Any solution? I also did what u did brother.

i can confirm the same behavior as of three days ago here. downgrading to android 9 (oxygen os still) fixes the rear camera but not the front. youtube starts to behave again. this is a HUGE issue, as my phone is 90% of the time just a youtube client. oneplus support is useless and just keeps going in circles saying to reset the phone. resets and cache clears do not fix this issue.
i've got three other oneplus 7 pros in the house that don't have this issue on beta 19, but they're all the t-mobile version flashed to international. unsure if that's relevant.

Question Pixel stuck on preparing system update, please give me a hand

Hello everyone, I hope anyone can help me with and system update issue, I had sam issue in pixel 3XL, 4a, 6 and now in 6a. Phone get himself stuck on preparing system update and searching update screen in settings it alternates the two screens each second, no matter what you do, and the main problem is that phone heats and battery drains very very fast maybe last just 4 or 5 hours without using the phone, if I do factory reset all fine but is not a good solution. Also tried sideload update, it install and all is up to date but phone continue searching update. Sorry for my bad english.

Just turn off automatic updates and manually flash it.
If you're bootloader unlocked it's much faster to flash the factory image vs the OTA

Yes but it's a temporary solution, after some weeks problem comes again. And have no option to unlock bootloader, so just can use ota. But what is the reason for this issue?

If this has been doing this across multiple devices it's not a phone issue. It's either network or account related.
And you can turn off auto updates as a permanent solution and just manually flash the OTA every month.

Your English is fine if it is easier for you, you may use Google Translate

If it's still searching for updates after disabling that in developer settings and rebooting then something really weird is going on.

There is a way to look some system log or something like that to see what's a happening? In pixel community I see a thread where pixel's team help a guy with a weird issue reading some thing called logcat and found the problem.
