Hi guys.
Strange issue with phone.
A few days ago I suddenly could not install apps for the playstore, oculus store and Amazon store.
It would download till 100 % and then nothing. After waiting 10-30 minutes then suddenly the installation begins.
Also when I press the check for update button nothing happens for 5 minutes.
Also if I downloaded something and I would select it in the notification bar nothing happens.
Then a few days there was an update (latest security patch) and all worked perfect.
Now suddenly the exact same problem is there. Rebooting doesn't help.
Any idea where I should search?
It seems there is some process busy doing something else.
Phone is very responsive besides the the problems.
Also when rebooting the same apps are in memory as before reboot. Not sure if that is wanted behavior or a bug but it seems like not a full reboot.

Did that already. Not working.
Also when entering recovery the phone wants to download an update. That isn't working and an yellow Android sign is shown. After that I can continue to the recovery.

Any other ideas? Any apps or logging to check?
I am close to a factory reset but I really do not want that.

Unfortunately no one could offer an solution so I did an full factory reset.
That works as expected.

I experience freeze and crash of apps randomly. More of them appear during game but it seems statiscly normal since i spend more time on them.
Anyone experience the same problem ?
I use my phone the whole day with power link connect to the phone, and no app crash appear. I disconnect the power cable, and 5 minutes later a crash appear. Can this be related ?

Hi all,
This is probably a stupid question. I'm on an L29 180 rooted rom & get constant App freezing.
How do I go back to stock or fix my issue? I've trawled through the forum but can't get any clear instructions for the L29..
Thanks in advance
Has anyone downloaded and installed the new wireless update? Not sure why they changed to the Google messenger. Especially since Allo is due out soon.

Installing now. Kind of a disappointing update, but at least we haven't been abandoned.
I didn't think Allo was going to do MMS/SMS, but I've seen conflicting reports.
It looks like the issues I had with background apps closing when clearing all apps has been fixed. I've got no apps running in the foreground yet can see Whatsapp, Fitbit, etc still running and I'm receiving notifications for them.

You're right, my Garmin Forerunner doesn't disconnect when I do that now. Good catch.

That right there is worth it. I'm installing it now.

The issues with the background apps closing seems to have been fixed. Thank goodness. Now Tasker and pushover work when closed.
As for Allo, I haven't read anywhere that SMS and MMS are not supported. It does seem to suggest that end to end encryption is primary.

I downloaded it and now my phone won't start up properly. It goes into a loop where it says android is starting and it is optimizing apps and then restarts back to optimizing apps over and over. I contacted Blu customer service and they said to hard restart mt phone. It doesn't work and my phone still does the same thing.
Since the update, it change the sms native to Google messenger and worts off it there is a bug, no notification at all on every sms program.
Do you have a link for this update?

I just hard re-set the phone a couple of times in a row and let the phone do its thing, optimizing the apps for 3 hours straight. The phone started up by itself and worked after that. Hope this works for you.

Hold the power and up volume buttons for 10 seconds to re-set phone. A menu with options will come up, select using the volume up/down button. Select re-set phone option with the power button. I did it twice in a row.
turning wifi off
So when battery is around 20% the strangest thing happened, wifi just turns off when phone is locked, just when it´s locked. Anyone else having this issue?
Does anyone know where to get the v19? I had to perform a factory reset and it backed up to v16. When I do the update it now claims that my system is damaged.

I do, but it was never a problem before the update. It seems rebooting helps with this issue, and then it lasts for like 1 month and then happens again. And now battery lasts nothing! do you have this issue after the update?

I have a new app suddenly appearing on my home screen "Rooms". Strangely it doesn't have a logo so uses Android icon as logo. I have opened it and it says to insert phone in Gear VR. At work so will check with Gear VR in the evening. Uninstalled it two times and it reappers after a few minutes.
Anybody else has seen this? Or know what is this
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Yeah I was wondering what this is too, I haven't checked it on the Gear VR yet either. Tried uninstalling it but it just comes back. I've frozen it with titanium backup just now. When I get home I'll defrost it and have a little look and see what it's all about.
Please keep us updated.
I have read that disabling "facebook app installer" and "facebook app manager" and then uninstalling "Rooms" app won't let "Rooms" get reinstalled. I tried it and it worked. It hasn't come back again.
The three apps i mentioned above all looks legit from Samsung. But i don't trust apps that get installed out of blue. Has Samsung mentioned anything about this? I guess it is a relation app between facebook and Oculus. Probably to support 360 images and videos on facebook to be viewed on Samsung Oculus. Not sure tho
Sure, will check in the evening, what this about. However as pointed above, even Samsung or Oculus has no right to push additional app without user consent. I am pretty sure this is no way a crtical system app which they had to push as everything including VR experience was perfectly fine without it.
Anyways will check it in Gear VR in the evening today.

Yes i have this strange app "rooms" which keeps installing . I have note 4 and yesterday facebook has been updated . My bro has a note 5 and today his phone is ao hot and consumes alot of battery but he doesnt have the "rooms" app . And his phone software wasnt updated :S
I had this also.
I've tried to update note 5 software then disable facebook app installer and facebook app manager as BlackHatVisions said and it fixed the note 5 heat and battery issue .
Guys, I could not test it in Gear VR last evening. However the Facebook app & Oculus Home auto updated last night while I was sleeping. Today morning when I picked up the phone "Rooms" app have disappeared. Seems to me a bug in Oculus of Facebook that it was pushed first and then removed with latest update to either Facebook or Oculus.

I had this appear also however I uninstalled it and it not come back
Mine magically disappeared
I have checked again. Actually it is back again as a hidden app now. To check go in settings -> Battery -> app power saving detail. I have it listed it there as "Oculus Rooms". Though i have put it on always power saving.

There is a constant list of apps waiting to be updated. Download goes to 100% for the top one but fails to install. Reboot phone and top one installs. Cycle repeats. It is very annoying having to reboot to install each app. Is anyone else having this problem?

Have you tried clearing data/cache from settings?
I have all app caches on all of my devices automatically clear every hour.
Exact same problem here. Widgets don't refresh with new data either. I've done everything short of a factory reset.

I solved this by turning off auto sync for all apps for 30 seconds then turned it back on.

All in one gestures used to work correctly with my s8 to kill apps on the back key longpress. I got the s8+ with all the same apps loaded and now it doesn't work at all. The service doesn't seem to run in the background like the s8 for some reason. I did notice when I started fresh it worked with no apps installed and now it doesn't? Any substitutions out there? This would be on a non rooted Xfinity s8+.

Did you transfer apps from phone to phone? Try uninstalling and re-installing the app. If it continues not to b work then contact the developer of the app.

I actually did that originally but yesterday I started fresh from a full reset and put just apps back on with super backup. I contacted the developer but didn't get a reply.

Reinstall from the play store or the original source you got the app. Don't install it from a backup or transfer

Actually upon fresh reset I did install it from the playstore all alone, like the first app. It worked in testing immediately after installing it But after installing all the rest of the apps it has seem to stop working completely. With the s8 it worked with all the same apps. My nexus 9 runs it perfectly also with it displaying the service running in the status bar.
I found the problem. After crawling through installation and installing apps 3 at a time and doing settings changes 1 at a time I have found out that the one handed gesture toggled on in settings breaks the long press feature on the 'back' soft key in the All in One Gestures app.
I just noticed that I put this in the wrong section, sorry.
