How to prevent Weather Underground app from constantly crashing - General Questions and Answers

For some reason I always get these dialogue boxes saying Weather has crashed about twice an hour and it's really annoying despite how useful I find the app otherwise. If someone can help me figure out how to make this app stop crashing in the background that would be great. In case it helps to know I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 running Android 7.1.1.

Is anyone gona answer my question.

[Q] Freezing and Restarting

I have a new Sprint Galaxy S5 that is rooted (that's the only modification I made). The trouble I'm having is that it keeps periodically freezing and restarting. It seems like it usually happens when I have a floating icon active while using other apps (like Link Bubble or Facebook Messenger), but it has frozen and restarted while just using chrome beta, too. Anyone know what might be causing this, and how to fix it? Is it using too much RAM when a floating icon is active?
Secondarily, would a different ROM help, like CM 12? Does CM 12 support the smart features that come with the Galaxy S5, or other Sprint apps?
Thanks!
Sounds like it may be over heating the cpu.phone info app shows cpu temp. Also can jse an xposed frame work module to see temp in status bar. Maybe able to log the crash and restart. But im not sure what to log with.
if i have helped in any way,please hit the thanks button.
Thanks! Follow up question: what does logging the crash and restating do? And is it is the cpu overheating, it's just a matter of managing RAM?

5.1.1 still aggressively kills common apps

This is super frustrating.
I knew that Android 5.0 had issues, because prior to 5.0, my LG G3 never ONCE closed out a chrome tab while I was playing podcasts.. After I got to 5.0.2, I had problems with the browser being closed when in the background AND I had about 5 other apps I was actively switching between... though I had to leave the browser in the background for a good 5-10 minutes before anything bad happened.
Things are quite different on the S6 Edge, and there's no improvement moving to 5.1.1 -- at all. In fact, it might be worse.
I've gotten in the habit of rebooting my phone every 4-5 hours to help combat this, but it's still infuriating.
Common examples:
- I get in my car, start Escort Live, start playing music on Spotify, then load up a route in google Maps. Within 3-5 minutes, Escort Live will close in the background without warning. Sometimes Spotify closes as well, simultaneously. Sometimes maps will close.
- Playing a podcast in Chrome, sometimes just hitting the home key will kill what I'm listening to.
I've exhausted my search efforts looking for some way to keep these apps alive. There's no legitimate reason to ever close Maps, Escort Live, Torque, Spotify, or a Chrome tab playing audio. What's going on here? I know that it was widely established that 5.0.2 still had this issue, but rumors were circulating that things were fixed after 5.0.3+. This is noticeably worse that my LG G3. It basically eliminates the ability to multi-task.
Does anyone have any tips to fixing this? Currently I am not rooted, because I wanted to see if 5.1.1 would help out with this issue.
Thanks!
wow...this is unfortunate news to hear. I was holding out hopes that 5.1.1 would finally allow the edge to shine as the phone it should have been. sounds like there's still a long ways to go. Wish I wasn't still waiting for the damn OTA....sigh..
Maybe you could use Smart Switch to upgrade? Not sure what version it provides...
We just need CM12 lol.

I'm wondering if I can create an init.d script to have an app stay running. I'd chkconfig on using tasker or whatever. Probably need root for that.
Try this

Samsung Interface Not Updating

All,
First time poster, frequent visitor of XDA Forums. I've come across an odd issue that I don't know how to solve and I'm hoping some of you smarter than me folks can get me squared away.
I have a Galaxy S8+ from AT&T running Android 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1.
Problem:
I've recently noticed a delay or completely non-updating interface on my phone. It updates on occasion, but I can't determine what triggers an update. For example, I will pick up my phone from the desk and when I press the power button it shows the accurate time. When I unlock the device, the sense flip clock I use on the main home screen shows an earlier time (could be 30 minutes... could be a few hours). I don't believe it's just the Sense app because I noticed this issue where I checked a facebook messenger app that came and and when I closed the app, it still showed I had 1 notification. I went back in thinking I had another new message, but I didn't. So it was still hanging on to the notification. It happened a couple times with a text message as well. Most importantly, my calendar doesn't alert me prior to an appointment either, even though it's showing in my calendar and an alert is active. If I save an event, and exit, I can normally see the event appear on the on widget immediately as well... but that hasn't been happening. I have to press the widget to open it and confirm it is there (which it always is). Eventually it refreshes and shows up. But that delay is likely the reason why I'm not getting my alerts.
All of this did seem to happen after a recent update Samsung/AT&T pushed out but I don't know for sure. I tried clearing the cache from the boot menu but it doesn't seem there is wide success with that.
And perhaps I'm just not a good enough user, but everything isn't all backed up in the cloud so doing the factory reset to me is always a fairly large task as I have many things to manually transfer out and then back in. Not sure if there are great tools that help with this on a stock phone.
BUMP
try disabling battery optimization for those apps.
It seems that you have several bugs and if they all start happening after you have installed the latest update, then expect a patch coming soon.

I have actually done that. Found very limited success. I'm also finding very few results on this topic. Surely it's not just me though.
And I'm dreading the idea of a hard reset as I have many things on my phones, not all of which is sync'd to the cloud so it's a task to back things up appropriate. Specifically regarding "encrypted" apps like my password keeper app etc.
It would be great if there was a software application that allowed you to backup whatever is necessary to not lose data, then wipe the phone and instead of just simply restoring the full phone (which is likely to create the same problem one had before the hard reset), you could simply dump back in app data as needed. It would also help diagnose if the problem lies in a specific app's data.
High level overview of issues...
I have the Ring Doorbell app. I get notifications after "live". Could be 5 minutes, could be 1 hour... or possibly not at all. I have the app setup on my wife's iPhone and she gets them immediately. If I restart the phone, I will get notified right away (it's like it runs the app again and then I get the notification). Keep in mind, this is AFTER i disabled the battery optimization feature for the Ring app.
I also notice it occasionally with texting. I won't have any text notification in the notification panel, nor will my messaging icon have a little red circle indicating a message is there. But if I open the app, a specification conversation will have a red circle indicating a new text is unread.
All of this is leading me to believe the Samsung UI itself is not updating and therefore notifications that actually have arrived (from whatever app), are not displaying because of the UI and not because of their own delay.
Because of this concern I have turned off battery optimization for "System UI", "Themes", and "TouchWiz Home". I have not seen any change however.
[Solved]
I was able to determine by various other threads around the web (thought for sure I'd find it here, but I didn't) that the culprit might be the Google app. Supposedly it was fixed in some prior release, but it's not on my Galaxy S8+ w/ AT&T.
Once I disabled the Google app all the odd issues with notifications and clock interfaces and app icons not updating went away. The downside to disabling it is that I lose the Google Assistant functionality which stinks but otherwise there is no impact to using the phone. I re-enabled it at a later date and it worked fine for a few days and then started acting up again. Once I disabled it, the problems all disappeared. Clearly Google app is to blame.

Samsung smart switch works wonders, the only thing that doesn't restore is passwords, you have to have and external SD card for it to work, or plug it in to a computer

Go to settings and check if your time is setup to adjust automatically.

That is not the issue. As mentioned, it's not just the clock it's multiple interfaces.

verizon ellipsis qutar7 question

i have the verizon ellipsis qutar7 tablet and i use only for my security system as a monitor and for the most part is does a good job, but i keep getting play store has stopped or messenger has stopped or a few other error messages. the table still seems to show the cameras working in the background but had to see some with the popup on the screen.
so does anyone here have a fix for this? i have tried about all i can to try to fix it but even resetting it has not helped. i have notices turned off so i do not get those taking up resourses. i tried turning off all the apps that i did nto need or use and or disabling others and that did not help. i still get a few notices in the top as icons. but i would like the popups errors to go away for good.
maybe someone knows of an app tha tcan monitor this and stop them? or maybe an app that will restart the tablet at night and then restart the apps you want to be running?
thanks bp.
