I'm running stock Android 4.1.2 on an international version GT-P6800 (purchased in Thailand).
I've been subscribed to a magazine for months now. But with today's replacement (Play Magazines => Play Newsstand), the Google Play Newsstand app crashes immediately on launch. Same story for the updated version of Google Now (released over the past week).
Due to increased sluggishness of my tablet, I decided to backup data and do a factory reset. So all these problems are occurring on a "fresh" OS install. (So no significant app caches, etc.)
Newsstand and Google Now/Search are both working fine on my ASUS tablet, so these problems are definitely specific to this hardware/OS version.
Is anyone else having either or both problems? Ideas?
P.S. This is really making me more inclined to finally root my tablet and install the most stable custom ROM available.
Just tried Newsstand an I too am having issues, also been having issues with Google Now . I started a thread regarding that issue as well. Really getting frustrated

The problem is almost certainly caused by Samsung modifications to Jelly Bean. My other Android devices don't have any such problems.
I posted a message about my solution in another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529929
Finally found easy fix!
Uninstall the update & revert back to factory app. Stupid updates just screw everything up! It was ridiculous!
What I don't understand is that my wife's Note I I was able to update both apps with no issues, her phone is running JB 4.1.2

Were is the widget? This seems to be a flipboard take over so google needs widget.
I know I'm not the only one with this issue, anybody have an any ideas as to why Google search no longer works, even after new updates. On My wife's Note II she gets all the updates with no issue, she is also running 4.1.2. This is really pissing me off.

The problem is almost certainly Samsung 's work in modifying Android for our tablet model. There are no widespread complaints for other Android devices. And as I said when you started this thread: once I rooted the tablet and flashed Cyanogenmod, the problem became a far-off memory. That's the beauty of the Android community. My tablet can do more things now. And I don't have to think about whether Samsung cares about me.
What did I learn?That if I wanted a 7"tablet today, I would get the Nexus 7. I got a Nexus 4 phone when Google dropped the price. I rooted it in 15 minutes. And Kit Kat is available for it already.

How can you recommend using Cyonogen when all of these issues are present?
1. Inherent from CM10.1
- Wifi-tethering, hdmi, Incall screen landscape, etc.
2. Bluetooh not working
- Need to see if the mojo in cm10.1 works here. (Lots of works...)
3. Camera not working yet
- Both camera can preview, Autio focus is OK for back camera. Can't save the photo...
(Seems bugs in framework_av cause it)
4. The default orientation of lockscreen is lanscape.
- not respond to rotation lock. Workaround: set only one angle in settings and enable rotation.
5. Screen rotation or rapid refresh cause transient noices. (Seems the new opengl issue, will try the new r3p2 mali driver later)
Unless you have a different version where everything works as it should.
Don't get mad, just pointing out the flaws of your suggestion.
Also my wife's Note II does not have this issue so I don't think it is a Samsung issue, then again I might be wrong.

First off, I want you to know I am not angry; I am just realistic. Samsung released the GT-P6800 as part of their typical tactic: they offered tablets in every possible size:
7", 7.7 with AMOLED, 8.9, 10.1.
Then they waited to see what the market wanted. Our model's AMOLED display was an expensive (but excellent) component. When the smoke cleared, Samsung followed the market's signal. They never released a follow-up and decided on the Note series as a better product family. We are never going to get Samsung's attention. Between your experience, your wife's and mine, we know that the crashing apps only happen on the 7.7. So there is a combination of Samsung OS and hardware that causes the problem. For the reasons I just cited, Samsung IS NOT GOING TO OFFER FIXES OR PATCHES.
You've done a great job listing possible reasons why someone would not do what I did. (To root and flash a new ROM.)
So let me respond directly to your points.

It's because of my priorities: I care deeply about reading on my tablet. That includes my subscription to The New Yorker magazine (via Newsstand) and PressReader for a variety of global newspapers. If I can't read what I want, I have to find a solution. You complained about Newsstand, so I told you how to get Newsstand working.
Another fringe benefit: I can get rid of the crap Samsung put in the firmware: Social Hub, Readers Hub, widgets, old PressReader, old Pulse, etc.

I can confirm this does not work. If Samsung would release their WiFi drivers to the development community this problem could be fixed. (If Samsung is too busy with more profitable products, they should let the customers fix the problem, no?)

I have not tested these things.
HDMI
A direct physical HDMI connection is a pretty clumsy way of communicating with a TV. I'd rather use XBMC, DLNA, or one of the streaming boxes and "cast" the content to the TV across my network. Who needs to run a cable across the living room or bedroom between TV and tablet?

I am not having this problem. I don't remember if this happened on my tablet after flashing CM. But now I am using Xposed framework + App Settings. So almost everything can be forced to auto-rotate.

Unfortunately if Samsung won't release all the drivers to the development community, it's unlikely that there will ever be a fully functional alternative ROM for the GT-P6800.

I think you listed the issues of CM 11 , and he's using CM 10.X
By the way I got same problem after updating those two apps. So I just uninstalled updates.
I'm still giving the stock ROM some time , as I own this tablet from only 2 months..but I think I'm gonna move to Cyanogenmod in time, its not only Samsung thing, all stock Roms from all brands I've tested get laggy after few months..:| , even with pure android on nexues 7 , this thing I've never seen with Apple tho they still power their flagship devices with Dual Core, and 1 GB Ram.!

Don't fill up the whole of your internal sdcard and fstrim (JB only) your partitions once a week or on boot. Also, improve android LMK & min frees with V6SuperCharger, or CrossBreeder etc. This may help, but involves some reading on your part.
Apple don't fill their device with as many useful features (or bloatware), which would require greater hardware capacity. There's no comparison.

I'm on my third Nexus 5 that has had issues, and every single one of them have had this one. When using YouTube the video is jerky and stutters, and randomly there will be audio distortion and pops from the speaker. This is the third Nexus 5 I've had with this issue, and nothing I find can fix it. I can barely find any info on the internet about it.
From what I can tell it is limited to YouTube. The thing is, my old S2 on 4.1.2 had no such issue. None of my other electronics have any issues with YouTube to the degree this does. I'm past believing it is an issue with my phone(though it might be), because as I said, I'm on my third Nexus 5 with this issue.
Has anyone else had this issue? What are my options in trying to fix it? I've had such a bad experience with the Nexus line I'm close to giving up and buying a different phone. This is driving me crazy.
I hope someone can help. Thanks.

App is up to date, and my internet speed is at least 10mbps. I have 30 at home and have the same issues. It does this at home, here at work, and on 4G. But it couldn't be the internet connection as it works fine on my old phone and other devices.
Here's some more info.
Stock, unrooted, stock kernel, 4.2.2. I've been tempted to root and unlock the boot loader to install a new kernel and see if that helps, but I'm not used to rooting Nexus devices and don't want to make it difficult to upgrade to 4.4.3 when its released. Hopefully that will fix this issue, but Google has been radio silent on it so I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket.

Try clearing data and cache on the YouTube app, if that doesn't help try uninstalling/uninstalling updates and reinstalling/reupdating.

Exactly. It's why I've ruled it out being a hardware issue, because this has happened to two other Nexus 5's I've been in possession of. It's so weird.
I've unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, all the fun stuff. I'm gonna try a new kernel to see if that will fix it.

Hiya,
Im having this issue as well. Some of the videos have disortion and stutters, but its not in youtube app. When I play videos form the websites it happens but, not in all of them. Dont know why some are ok and others dont. Sometimes its really annoying, especially when it stutters a lot in the playedback video. I do not know if its a hardware or a software issue.
EDIT:
Just checked the same video in Android Authority app and in Youtube app. In the first app audio stutters and being a wee bit choppy, in Yt however, everything is fine. Audio is clear, no stutters at all. So I assume its software issue and maybe audio codecs dont play well with third party apps. Also, I dont think there is a solution to this problem.

Hi there,
Recently i've updated my Nexus 5 to Android 4.4.3. (from stock 4.4.2 rooted)
Every time after updating to 4.4.3 my camera sound is horrible (like it's recording underwater).
I've used zip files (after wiping) to flash without any succes.
When i used my backup of 4.4.2 the problem was gone again. So the hardware isn't broken or anything.
Now i've sideloaded the official factory image (4.4.3) after a full wipe and still the problem exists.
How is this even possible? Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks for helping in advance
PS: i've contacted Google but their e-mail in bad translation didn't help me. They told me to do a factory reset lol

Do you know by any chance if there is a way to fix this? This topic was hard to google/search since I only got stuff about the previous camera bug. Or maybe my "tech English" isn't sufficient.
The issue is ongoing. We thought 4.4.3 was going to fix it but evidently not. There are no other real fixes

I never had this issue on previous android versions and I've had my Nexus shortly after the release. I honestly think this is a new bug but I could be wrong.

The noise cancellation bug has been around since day 1, when I got my N5. Not everyone notices because it acts differently depending on the environment the videos are recording in. It also effects calls.
There's no fix right now. Try and get your money back if you like.

Yes, this is new bug, no discussion. I've made more than thousand vids with my N5 so I'm familiar with "old" sound bug, but this new one wich came with 4.4.3 is much worse than issue from previous one and make my Nexus completly useless as camera.. It sounds like underwater.

It's the same bug alright. I have no doubt. Perhaps it sounds different to you on your phone because they made it worse.
I can say with a strong degree of certainty that it is the same bug though, because the "old" bug you refer to was due to a poor noise cancellation issue. This bug went away for me when I fitted a slickwraps skin that covers my noise cancellation mic. ...and after upgrading to 4.4.3, I still don't have any issues whilst that secondary microphone is covered. My videos are as expected.

It's much worse that it was.. As I said, my Nexus is now useless as digital camera.. Or it was useless, because I've flashed 4.4.2 again.

But how come it wasn't there on my 4.4.2 or as you described it, wasn't hearable?
I am a music producer. I always use my phone to film my latest creations to send them to friends via whatsapp. Never had any issues. First was good, now it's absolutely useless. I film exactly from the same spot in my studio. There should be a way around to get the sound back from 4.4.2 right? Some custom rom or whatever?
Thanks for all your answers man!
So I have a Moto G Google Play Edition, and I've noticed that my Media volume is very low. Anyone have any ideas?
Is Sound Effects app properly configured? Have you uninstalled it?
And your G is an original GPE or have you converted it to GPE?
Ive not tested this on GPE firmware but you can give it a go. If there is such a file (mixer_path), and there are the said lines, then try to change it. As usual, perform a nandroid backup in case anything goes wrong. Use this method ONLY if the said files and lines are present okay? I can safely say that it works on CM based roms.

To be honest, Ive tested this on crappy AND good headphones I didnt notice any distortion (i dont have audiomods, i dont increase bass or anything nor have i experienced distrortion on high frequencies) so I'm a bit dumbfounded. Different roms have different ways of managing audio, i guess. I really want people to focus on this issue too. Ive been looking here and there for a solution to be honest. I hope you'll find a solution and share it here

I wish someone here in the XDA developers make a custom kernel for this so it won't distort.

There are kernels for GPE that have fauxsound implemented (supposedly its very good at inxreasing volume) but the problem is you have to pay to be able to use the feature using a paid app. I had problems with it where the volume boost wouldnt stick after a reboot, but im not in anyway from stopping you to try it out. You may get different results. Try looking around our moto g forum (for kernels that have fauxsound)

here's one. It says on the first post that it should work on GPE
AND it does have the fauxsound thing. It's in the changelog

I downloaded this and did a backup. Then I flashed it. Everything was fine. I downloaded fauxsound app. Everything was working until I did a reboot to delete my backup. Sure enough, the phone was bricked AFTER I deleted my backup. I turn on my phone, in the google logo. Everything becomes purple and the screen goes black. I cleared cache and dalvik to see if that works but it didn't so I had to do a factory reset. Thanks so much!

CM12 official nighlies, just updated to latest one but this has been a problem since I went from stock 05Q to CM12. Google Play Music plays slightly faster than it should only on Bluetooth..... I have clean flashed twice, cleared cache for app and system and still it does it. Anyone know why?
Is anyone else experience this?
Bluetooth is usually always the problem between CM upgrades..... Not sure why but I've noticed it's the first thing to break no matter the phone.,

Yes I also have this issue with CM12 on my Galaxy S5 SM-G900M. I have it affecting both the Google Play Music app and the stock CM music app. I tried all the regular stuff also (clear cache, full wipe, yada yada).
Seems to be affecting multiple devices I guess.
Also affects me, thought it was so weird but it has always happened with my OnePlus one.

I had a note 2 a while back that had this issue. It was a kernel issue. Maybe try a dif kernel? I'm on CM11 05Q running franco kernel considering there's CM12 support?
I will flash back CM12 and test with a different kernel tonight. Retest Bluetooth audio on my way to work tomorrow and report what happens.
Tried two different kernels with no change. Still having bluetooth audio skip and play slightly faster / higher pitched.
Just an update. I am still having this issue... I clean flashed Slim 5.0 and the problem was still there
Just had a thought, can anyone try to recreate the issue with AwesoePlayer instead of Nuplayer

When I had this issue, again with the Note 2, it was in PowerAMP. Stock music didn't seem to have it.

The issue is with Google Music. Unplayable and Awesome Player are not music apps, they are settings

Turning off Wi-fi during Bluetooth playback worked for some other devices experiencing the problem.
Edit: apparently this has been a reoccurring issue across multiple devices with android.
Same issue with Spotify
I updated to CM12S on my OPO yesterday. Noticed since that music plays fast and pauses every 15 seconds.
Any advice on resolving?
I'm having the same issue on CM12s. :/
Hope there's a fix for this soon, it's a huge issue for me. Music sounds like **** when trying to listen to it in the car.

It is worth noting that this does not exist on other Bluetooth devices right now and just in my Mazda 3 2013. What car do you have?
I also have a 2013 Mazda, lol. It's a CX 5,but it also happens with my Samsung soundbars in my house

I have a 2012 Mazda 3, I see this issue with CM12 and 12.1
Works fine on my bluetooth speaker in the house.
Works fine in the car on Oxygen.
There is a bug filed on Jira. BACON-3275
It appears to be almost exclusive to Japanese cars.

Not exclusive to Japanese cars...I'm having the same issue in a VW and across all my bluetooth audio devices in the house. Great phone but Oneplus/Cyanogen is ****ting the bed lately.
A lot of people experience problem with bluetooth, the problem for me is there since 4.4.4. I can't receive phone calls in my car (BMW E39) . At best it connect 15 seconds then bluetooth restart on my phone. In CM bug tracker there is A LOT of complains. I don't mean to ***** but devs need to seriously look into this. Some bug report are from OCTOBER 14.
Patience everyone....
