Anybody else expiriencing problems with some functions of FB app? Cannot edit the searches because it closes the app the same issue with the notifications when I get them and if I want to look at them the app closes?
I have uninstalled FB and installed it again... same problem....

No problem here. P.S. Here s the development... Not the questions.

Same problem. Clearing app cache helps for a few minutes and after that it crashes again.

I'm on Nougat,B360 on FRD-L09 and as i said i have no problem. You made a factory reset after update ? It's recommended.

You definitely should do hard reset, also some users are facing battery drain with fb app.

I've done factory reset and the problem still exists.

Ok. Got a solution. You need to turn off "links open externally" at Facebook app settings, close the app, try open some links, and than it wil stop crashing. The problem related to the fact that in Android 7 there is no Android webview anymore, so the cause for the crashes is chrome browser. Hope this will help you.

I have done the factory reset. Uninstalled the app, the problem is still there. For example I got the notification that a friend has birthday and if I click on it the FB app closes.

I know it's not external and i had the same exact problem. the facebook app uses android system webview and in android 7 google disabled it and started to use google chrome instead:

try to re-install chrome. after that open instant link in facebook and finally hit the birthday reminder.

Now I turned ON option external links and its working

After posting a temporary solution - i think i found the cause.
The app crashes if the app language is set to other language than your device's language.
I assume that anyone with the same problem uses facebook app in english when the device's language is set to other language.
waiting for your testing and comments.

I'm having the same problem with the IMDB app so that may be a problem with the marketplace itself. I haven't had the problem with anything else yet though.
So I think you don´t have a HTC with preinstalled apps or did your HTC Notes app update correctly?
For me it´s the second app with that problem, and that suxx
I hope there will be a solution, from side of microsoft, next time.
I'm getting it with the IMDB app too. Haven't had it with anything else yet though.
Same problem here with IMDB.
Maybe the problem only concerns this program ?
Possible solutions
For those having issues with license problems when downloading / updating apps try this: Uninstall original app & then reinstall app from Marketplace. Worked for me. Another way that has been suggested & seems to work for some people (this was suggested by MS Support) Take the battery out & replace after 60 secs & then try again. Hope this helps folks.
Hi.
Uninstall and Reinstall was the first I tried, without any result.
The 60 second battery out worked fine! Thx for this tip!

I want to change my Region in Zune account. During the registration of my profile from the phone I set the "Country" to "United Kingdom" and now I see all prices in the GBP. In my profile info at Zune.com I can change my name, e-mail address, but I cant change the Country (I need to setup to region with USD prices). Can someone help me?
I've read somewhere that there is no way to change the country of a Live ID account. You have to create another one and then, another Microsoft deadly choice, you have to do a "reset to factory" on your phone because there is no way to change the first Windows Live ID account in Settings->System->Email & Accounts.
I did the reset, added the account with the correct country as the first Windows Live ID but also added the previous account as a secondary Windows Live ID and I'm just keeping the phone in sync with the contacts, mail and calendar of this second account.

I did not have to pay for mine again. I did not take the battrery out either, I just ununstalled the app and then went to marketplace and retried the download. Worked fine then.

No.
Once you buy an application it remains free for you (unless you use a new account).

Sharing problem

When in the youtube app I cannot share video from the YouTube app to any other services other then g+ ,the sharing menu doesn't open, it goes direct to g+ , If I disable the google plus app the share menu on the youtube app okay but once I enable the google plus app the problem is back? Ideas?

Same problem for me, In fact, if you try to share a link from other apps, this happens as well.
This happens because the ACTION_SENT intent does not seem to be saving preferences properly. I am trying to fix this. Really annoying.
A workaround for now is to use the Andmade Share app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andmadesoft.share&hl=en_GB)
EDIT: Seems like an Android bug (c.f. https://code.google.com/p/android/i...nd&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...createchooser-method-causes-intentserviceleak)
Having the same issue, but youtube opens google drive. If I disable google drive I can select any app to share to. So is this a bug with 4.4 or youtube?
It's a bug with many if not all apps. I hope they fix soon

Go to Settings-->Apps-->3 dot menu and hit "reset app preferences". This will clear all sharing defaults.
Apparently, either there's a bug in Kitkat or an app that auto defaults sharing to the app you last shared to. So if you shared something to G+ before the bug kicked in, all subsequent shares go to G+ without "share" menu popping up.

This worked Thank you! I emailed Android Police about the bug and received the following response:
"You know, someone tipped us that this was happening to the youtube app, but I couldn't reproduce. They ended up factory resetting.
I then she something similar in Feedly - it opened Gmail instead of the picker, but upon retrying it worked.
Definitely seems like an issue somewhere."
Hopefully next time it happens I will know how to reproduce it.

Have the same issue. The first time everything was defaulting to Google Drive. Now it's just started again but it's defaulting to Google plus instead. The fix mentioned above worked but it's still a bit annoying.

I'm having the same thing with Drive. Annoying, as I'm trying to attach a photo I haven't captured yet. I wonder if Xposed module can help with this,

[Q] Cancelling update for one speficif app?

Hi folks,
While tweaking my phone I accidentally clicked Google Hindu Input on Keyboard & Language section. Even though I unclicked it afterwards, Google Play wants to update it (I manually update my apps). I disable the Input notifications from Apps menu, but it is still shown up under Google Play "update your apps" menu. I installed and uninstalled it, yet to no avail. Is there any way to unlink my connection with it?
I'm using rooted Nexus 5.
I had the same problem, all you have to do is go to Settings>Apps>All>Google Hindu Input>Disable
And that should do the trick!
P.S. it should look like the picture after all said and done..

Thanks for the reply. I did it first, but it said it could affect other apps performances as well, as it is a part of system apps. So, I think I need to give it a try again. Thanks.

[Q] Websites forcing app install directly from Play store

Hi everyone,
I had a headache yesterday with an app called Zombie tsunami, from time to time it started downloading directly from the Play store without even asking me, I had to clear Chrome data to get rid of it, maybe some javascript, that started this process automatically, clearing cache wasn't enough... I don't remember the website I browsed, but it really suck, I have a Nexus 4 on 4.4.2 Stock.
Did anyone else had a problem like that?
Is there a way to prevent this?

Uninstall the application! Or change "permissions" or use a "firewall" to block internet access.

I did that, but after I uninstalled, once in a while it started downloading and the notification icon appear, I noticed some sites were showing a confirm dialog to download mobogenie, and this zombie tsunami is also from a mobogenie company.

Some apps not present in battery optimisation?

As the title suggest, anyone else find that some apps just aren't available within the battery optimisation menu? For example, I have viper4android installed and when attempting to exclude it, it simply isn't listed there. Same with Google calendar too...
System apps don't show up there. You probably have installed viper4android as a system app.
That's OxygenOS standard.

Hmm I do wonder if there's some way around this. I mean for example, the Universal Doze for GMS is a magisk module that allows hibernating a system app. Surely its possible to do the opposite and allow a system app not to be hibernated?
Hopefully some clever dev can work some magic here...

I'm using the one for Gmail I found in the 6t forums and it seem to be working pretty well. I've tested and I get my notification almost instantaneous.

I use bluemail, far superior to Gmail and works with Enterprise and exchange email servers and you have full control of it and you can add Gmail accounts as well. So I just freeze Gmail and never think about it again.

Also, can't you just move the app or if the system dinner and into the regular app folder and change the permissions then just omit from battery optimization? Not sure if Gmail works with those permissions but I'd try that.

This doesn't solve the issue., tried that. Disabling Doze does though :good:
And yes, still amazing low idle drain nonetheless.
