So last week I started having this problem with YouTube switching from full screen to regular screen and a black screen popping up in between videos. Then I noticed that if I was scrolling thru a list of videos it would randomly send me back to the top of the list. Thought it was the YouTube app so I wipe app memory and same problem. Then uninstall and reinstalled and same problem.
Started noticing the refresh to top on other apps like Facebook and Chrome web browser. Noticed a black screen refresh on Snapchat too.
I booted into recovery and wiped cache and still same problem. On Sunday I had enough so I wiped the phone back to New. Now I'm having the YouTube problem still and now here on Tapatalk. I also got the new update today with the nav button lock n hide feature. Now I don't like it but I don't think that update is causing the issue because it did it before. Any advice?
I have a deaf pixel so I know I'll get the phone replaced but was wondering if any other SO owners are ha j g this issue.

Is anyone experiencing random pop ups of the phone miniapp ? It happens to my several times a day, both with the tablet on or off. Quite annoying.

Yes same here.

Im also having this issues now. It just randomly popups after unlocking. This happened after installing an update from samsung apps.
just an update, afer uninstalling those 2 updates from samsung apps. The mini phone app stopped popping up. Tested it for the whole afternoon.
Unconfirmed. Downgraded the Samsung app application, and for a few hours I was OK. Just when I was about to confirm it was working here it pop up again.
Nope it did not work for me. I still have occasional pop up of the phone mini app, even with the upgraded firmware KL3
i also experienced this when i was on DXKL1. Then I flashed my GTab+ with DXKL2. I also did a factory reset, cache wipe, and wipe dalvik cache. Then it never occurred again. I am now on DXKL3 and I still haven't encountered it.
same here as well..
i also get sudden popups from the phone mini app. no other mini app does that and some times when it keeps showing up more often i restart and it becomes less frequent. i was bugged about this ever since i bought my p6200 and kept trying to reproduce the situation or take note of the time it occurs and the conditions of my tab at that time. i have gone through 3 software formats since i got the tab (not related, just fooling around ) and i became less and less optimistic of spotting a pattern to the problem.
after reading this thread i checked samsung apps and turns out i haven't even opened it since the latest format but i had on several occasions witnessed the phone miniapp popping up.
i've just updated the samsung apps and will report if the problem arises again. i hope it doesn't though, lol
Yep, it does happen even on DXLC1. Whenever it happens, i found that going to the settings & ending contacts from running apps helped solve the problem though.
Cheers!

is the "kill the contacts app" a temp. fix or a fix for the general problem
btw..i had the phone app popup on me today twice, so no go on my scenario as well.
I have a brand new HTC One X on att, and I have been using chrome for awhile now and all of a sudden it stops cooperating. Specifically when you try to load a web page it shows that it is loading, but never actually shows the web page and you can keep clicking refresh and it does the same thing. Also at the same time if you click the button to view open tabs the top of the screen changes, but the rest stays white and you cant see the open tabs. I have uninstalled the app a few times and re-installed and the problems persist so I am stuck using the stock web browser which isn't as bad as chrome but does have some annoying features. Has anyone else experienced this problem with chrome?

It's not a phone specific issue, I've run in to that before too. Sometimes clearing the apps data and cache in 'Android Settings>Apps.'
Hi
I updated my Nexus 5 to Lollipop via the autoupdater and while I initially disliked the look and how really counterintuitive everything suddenly was, it has now become practically unusable.
For starters, apps crash all the time. Simply using Chrome or UC browser results in a crash back to "desktop" every few seconds and when the browser is reopened it is back to the main page having lost any tabs etc.
This also happens with other apps such as the music player which closes and when reopened my audiobook is reset back a random amount.
When this crash happens, I find myself on the main page of the phone but it is totally blank for a few seconds until it jerks right, then left and some app icons appear and then freezes a few more and the rest appear, as if it has reset.
I have today discovered this 'crash' happens even when the phone is locked now as my wife tried to call me and got VMail so sent a few texts which I didn't get til I unlocked my phone and experienced the same blank screen and slow reappearance of apps and finally a missed call and 3 texts.
All in all my phone is pretty useless now. Any apps I run inevitably crash and unless my phone is unlocked I cannot receive calls or emails/texts.
Any ideas or plans for this shambles to be fixed?
Thanks
Easy to fix - wipe it and flash a factory image...
I have the latest firmware on my S7 (exynos) and once every while the system freezes and then the phone reboots.
I don't know what's wrong with it.
Funny thing is my S5 with cm13 is WAY more stable than the S7...

I have tried few times in my previous S7. I guess it is the compatibility of app
My SD S7 does that when using the iheartRadio app - quite annoying
I'm on my second s7, the first would freeze and reboot regularly. Some folks here said they believed it was a software issue. I ended up exchanging it for a new one and haven't have had a single freeze or reboot since.
I Have it occasionally hoping an update fixes it
I have had mine for more than a week and so far no issues at all

having the same extremely annoying problem on my g930fd (DUAL sim) nougat
several times even had a black screen with nothing responding anymore so I had to wait to drain the battery completely so the device could reboot
resetted, hardresetted, re-flashed, re-rooted numerous times ... with no sollution
NOW (april 1st) just had a new update from samsung GF930FXXU1DQB7/G930FOLBDQB8/G930FXXU1DQB1
anybody else experience with this last update ?
I'm having the same problem and wrote about it on a Reddit page where a number of other people are having the problem with their S7's also: https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS7/comments/5xx705/after_nougat_s7_keeps_getting_unresponsive/
No solution so far

"I also have this problem with S7 on Nougat which started about 3 weeks ago. It seems to be getting worse.
A couple of times where I've ignored it the S7 got so hot I actually thought about keeping it away from my person. I can always force restart it by Power+Volume. Mostly I can wake it up by pressing the power button and the screen will light up after about 10 seconds of waiting, but nothing responds.
Once I had it happen while using the device. When this happened, I noticed that swiping down the notification bar sped everything up temporarily. If the notification bar was hidden the current application would be laggy. If I swiped down the notification bar partially the application would render quickly as normal.
I've also found that Google Maps and Spotify are the two main apps when this happens, but a common link for me is that either one will be connected to bluetooth in the car or bluetooth headphones. I don't think it's ever frozen without bluetooth being connected, but that could just be coincidence.
A strange thing is that Spotify stays playing songs and responding remotely when the S7 has frozen. If I have Spotify open on my laptop controlling music on the S7, I can still skip forward/pause/play etc for ages, although the songs start skipping audio after 10mins or so before stopping completely. It's like the System UI is the problem on the S7, and the app itself is still responding?
I'm wondering about doing a full reset but I'm dreading the several hours of setting everything back up, without knowing if it will solve the problem.
I use Lightflow and I'm going to try uninstall that for a week and see if I still get the freezing, simply because it is the only app that is continuously running on my phone in the notification drawer."
Re above, I did a factory reset as advised by Samsung support and the problem has gone away.
no solution, not alone
meanwhile I have tried several things
factory reset, swipe, root, no root
I noticed that the problem starts to appear when more and more memory is being used ...
no update from anybody else ?
meanwhile I read on the net this problem is not exceptional anymore, more and more people having this problem ...
Just posting to say it's been two weeks in total since i did the factory reset and I haven't seen the problem happen once since. Thankfully.
The problem: whenever I try to send a video through whatsapp, the progress bar loads to the middle. After that, the app stops working and freezes my phone. After a while of pressing the home button I eventually can leave the app. Re-opening the app leads to a white screen, but waiting 10 seconds or so I get the notification that the app is not responding and I can force it to close. Opening the app again it works again, loading the video from where it stopped and sending it normally.
This happens whenever I try to send a video on whatsapp. Should also mention that the video preview doesn't work well, crashing the app in the same way if I try to play it.
This was happening on a different rom I've had for a while. I recently switched to LineageOS 16 and some other problems I had disappeared, but this one remained.
Some more background
A year or so ago I installed a custom ROM on my oneplus one that I found on xda but can't seem to find anymore. The whole point of the ROM was to get android pie on the oneplus one, iirc. I don't recall having any problems at the start, but eventually I started having notifications that some android process related to media was crashing whenever I received an image on whatsapp (although I still recieved the image without any trouble and could send images normally). This also seemed to happen when some apps tried to downlaod images, which made me think the problem was related to the notification having the image's thumbnail. I also started having the problem with sending videos. A couple weeks ago I started getting random soft reboots, so I decided to check if there were any more recent ROMs.
So, two days ago I installed LineageOS 16 and so far I haven't had any other problem other than the whatsapp video sending thing. I haven't been able to find anyone else having this problem, but the fact that it persisted through a wipe and new ROM install means it probably isn't OS related.
Does anyone have any ideas about what could be causing this?
Thanks in advance for the help!
bump...
