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.

I tried to freeze wi-fi calling in Titanium Backup. But after that I still see this app when I check it in setting-->application-->managing-->running. And just as before, you cannot kill it from running application. Is this normal?
I used bloat freezer to freeze it and my battery life has been 10000000xs better ever since.

not normal. i froze it on mine, and my husband froze it on his, both using titanium and i havent seen it running since. perhaps you need a reboot? the app isnt in your drawer anymore, is it?

I just took couple of screen shots. This is my first time to link files from dropbox. Hopefully it will work.
here it shows the wi-fi calling has been frozen
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27291692/g2x/2011-04-28 09.23.55.png
and here is shows the wi-fi calling is stll in running app list
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27291692/g2x/2011-04-28 09.22.59.png
I cannot see the wi-fi calling app in the application screen. --if that's what you mean in my "drawer"(?)
When you say reboot, do you mean press hold the power button to turn the phone and and back on again? I think I did that last night but apparently it didn't resolve the problem.
p.s. the same thing happens to one of "my account" app as well (the one cannot be killed by manage application in setting)
same case as OP. Froze wifi calling and MyAccount with TitaniumBackup, but both apps still run. (yes they disappeared from the menu, but they are still constantly running)

You should have to reset it... cause i had the same problem i froze My Device and it sent me into this weird force close loop but after i reset the phone it didn't show up in the processes again.

factor reset? again? well, if that's the only easy option...
btw, I think someone mentioned there is thread that gives a complete of bloatware that could be frozen. But maybe I not good enough at searching, can anyone point it out? Thanks.

No no no i mean like battery pull or turn the power off and on not Factory Reset! and ALL bloatware can be frozen and/or removed if you want! But the only reason you get this weird force close loop is cause you freeze/remove the program, but the process is still running leading to the phone not knowing what to do. Than after you reset it(Not Factory Reset) it wont start up because you have removed the app.

I do not have any FC problem. My problem is simply that, when I freeze the bloats with titanium backup, these bloats would be removed from the app drawer BUT still be running in the background. (this scenario applies to WIFI calling and Myaccount)
I have restarted the phone, factory reset, and tried this on 2 phones already. So I really doubt that would fix the problem.
1 question: what do you freeze them with? Maybe bloat freezer can do a better job than titanium?
just kidding! I went to the menu you are referring to and saw the apps under running processes for me too! This scares me, however since the program is present but frozen, aka can't be actively run, I am ambivalent as to whether it has an adverse effect on battery life. (maybe since it's frozen it is present on the list but won't drain battery?) Also, maybe it's presence there insures that it won't get in the way of an otA

Or you can use AntTek App Manager(It is free and does the same thing that Bloat Freezer does)

I completely uninstalled it from my phone. If it 'breaks' OTA updates, I'm sure there will be a ROM dump within hours anyway on here, if I'm not running CM7 by then that is.
yea the thing is that, I sometimes want to unfreeze Myaccount or WIFI calling to actually use them. Uninstalling/reinstalling is quite tedious every time
Using my phone as usual, went for a run. When I looked at my phone after my run, my phone icon is missing from the bottom of my screen (whatever that's called--it escapes me now) and from my app drawer. It's still present on my lock screen and the app still exists on my phone--as shown in the application manager.
Every other thread with this issue is either doing stuff with themes or ROMs, or they just removed it accidentally from the home screen. Not the case here.
Any way to fix this without doing a factory reset?

Seems like issue with your launcher, what launcher do you have? Try to reboot your phone, if stills not working go to settings->apps and clear data for your launcher.
Using the stock launcher. So what's the name of the launcher? Found several in app manager that could be it...

Touchwiz
I just force stopped mine, cleared data and it reset it. That will undo all the customization if you had any. Hope that works.

Yep. It reset mine and added back the icons I took off. Give it a shot.

Great. Got my phone icon back.
Now, anyone know what went wrong with the launcher or what got corrupted? I ask so that maybe next time we could fix the problem rather than having to clear the data and loose all customizations.
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.

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.

Thanks!
I have recently purchased a Mi Mix 2s but I have started getting issues with forced closed apps, firstly its Alexa it forces closed almost immediately. Facebook closes if I look on facebook market place.
I think becuase the app is slow to respond its being flagged as crashed, is there a way to increase the time an app stalls before it flagged as crashed?

Take phone force close a few different app. Imagine they will work out the problem if we're sending in the automated bug reports. Sucks because one of them is the app I'm using paying for buses in Sweden [emoji1236] [emoji23]

The app work because you didn't use the mic I think.
I discovered many things:
- if you want to use the alexa assistant with your phone in place of Google Home, if Alexa is not set as default in the parameters (Parameters, Installed applications, "..." top right corner, Manage default apps, Vocal assistant, Use with shortcuts (sorry, i translate FR->ENG, it's maybe different)), the app is crashing every time
- if alexa is set as the default vocal assistant, the app is working, but crash when you start the request with the mic (center button in alexa app).
I think, it's a problem with MIUI, because Alexa work great on my old Nexus 6p on Android 8.1.
