Recent Apps Not Clearing - Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers

The only odd thing I am seeing on my wife's Pixel 3 after updating to 10...
Factory image .19 flash-all (minus -w), rooted and running ElementalX.
When I half swipe up to recent apps and use clear all or individually swipe them away they appear not to be removed if I look again. They are actually removed from memory since if I click on one it says app not available. Locking and unlocking with the power button doesn't clear the "shells," but locking with the accessibility menu and unlocking does clear them. Of course, rebooting clears them. Opening another app leaves only that one in recent apps. I'm pretty sure it is a 3rd party app and not a build issue since I cannot replicate it is safe mode. Just wondering if anyone else has seen it.

What apps do you know for sure run on startup to see if we have any in common? Apps that get an SU notification are an easy place to start. Have you tried narrowing down the app? Since this is my wife's phone, I'd rather not hijack it to freeze an app, reboot, check for issue, re-enable and freeze another, etc. It is a non-issue to her since she never clears recent apps.

For me, it happens in safe mode too. Only when I use another launcher the recent apps menu works as expected. But, when I go back to the pixel launcher the problem comes back again.
I do not have any su notifications and my pixel is not rooted.

Thanks for the info. Not rooted helps a lot. Maybe I just got lucky in safe mode. Just for giggles, I assume you didn't do a factory reset but took the OTA or sideloaded it with in place data. Google tried the factory reset line on me without knowing for sure that it isn't a build glitch. Maybe my wife doesn't know that she is getting Lawnchair installed. At least, then it will match my launcher.

I also have recent app clearance issue and have had since first beta I find opening desktop app then closing it clears all apps I have also made Google aware throughout beta testing

Do you know if a factory reset solves the issue?
I noticed aswell, that after some minutes the apps clear themselves, without any other action.

I ended up putting her account on the beta of Lawnchair 2, but right before I installed LC I couldn't get the problem to recur LOL.i like LC better anyways juts for not having to do that ridiculous long swipe up to get to the tray. Otherwise, you can make it look/act nearly identical.

I tried on beta 3-4 no joy yes I noticed that also

I still tend to think that it is a 3rd part app that unfortunately lots are using interacting poorly with the base. Kind of a moot point now that the phone is on the Lawnchair beta and it is on the Play Store now. Check it out if you are having the issue or just want to get rid of the long swipe up to the drawer. The funny thing is that this phone had the issue of notifications not clearing (after tapping) without a second swipe down for no reason. That went away and was replaced by this.

Have you find any solution to this issue? Basically, there is a bug in Android 10 that creates a "ghost" image of recents apps, after you close them with the back button or back gesture.

No, it still happens but less frequently. She has Lawnchair on her phone now which doesn't have the issue. You can also force close them by using the lockscreen shortcut in accessibility menu (I like to use that to avoid pressing the lock/power button any more than I have to). and then unlocking.

I will give it a try. Thank you

app to allow customizable navbar keys? (longpress?) on non rooted s8+.

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.

Problem with posting to Facebook

I have a little weird problem with the Facebook app. WHen I try to share something from an app or post directly from Facebook app, I can't seem to press "post" button at the top of the screen (or the "back" button also at the top). They're there but pressing them does nothing. Just like they're disabled. All I can do is go "back" with back navbar button and then discard the post or save to "drafts".
I tried clearing cache, uninstalling the app and re installing again, logging off and back on, clearing data... nothing works. I received updates of FB app, still the same issue. I can like posts, comment on posts but can't post my own. It works normally from the PC/browser.
Any ideas?
Thanx.

Same problem

Just wondering if there is any solution to this? Had the same issue for a while now. I've installed facebook lite app which has no issues at all.
Try the version 177 and not update

The app is preinstalled on my phone which is galaxy s9 plus. If I disable the app and restart and enable it again it won't let you use the facebook app until it's updated to the latest version.

My wife and I have been having the same issue for the past 20 days. Done all the normal troubleshooting...no help. I have submitted to FB for at least the past 15 days. The only responses I get are, "Your feedback will be used to improve Facebook. Thanks for taking the time to make a report."
What's weird is my wife has a co-worker who has an S8+ and has no issues with FB. Maybe a version thing, but with so many of us with the same issue I would think some answer would have come up by now.

Yep, I was already looking at that option. I ended up going back to version 177.0.0.57.105 to be able to have full functionality. It's obvious one of the "fixes" broke something else in the app's functionality. I'll be keeping ver 177 until a new update that actually works is released.
Tried 177 and it works. Can't get into beta, says it is full....

Apps Crashing

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?

I've not seen that issue, I couldn't reply from notifications but that was fixed 2 days after with another update.
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.

Getting a screen glitch when closing apps.

I've started getting a glitch where if I swipe up from the bottom and I'm in an app, immediately after the app swipes away it will briefly flash up on the screen again. It started happening as soon as I switched back to the default from Nova. I've since u installed Nova and rebooted and it's still happening. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Google beta app?
I think this could be related to the GOOGLE beta application. I had the same issue after a recent update to the application. After removing myself from the beta the issue was gone.
I think I got an update to that immediately after removing Nova, so I'll give it a day or two and see what happens after another update.
I had that happening when on Q beta 4. Once I switched back to Pie (I did a full wipe/reset) it went away

Issue with app drawer in Poco launcher

Hi.
I bought Poco X3 three weeks ago and I'm quite happy with it.
However, I noticed an issue in the app drawer that comes with Poco launcher.
I have many apps installed. When I scroll down to find apps, the screen goes back to the top automatically and it does not stay down which is quite annoying.
I can of course search for apps by typing their name but the manual search using scroll down is not useable.
Do others have the same problem? Any known workaround?
Thank you in advance.
Have you tried a different launcher like Lawn chair to see if it solves the issue?
Don't have that problem on my set... App drawer stay at bottom when scroll down... Might be some setting there... I removed all the tab in drawer only 1 tab for all apps...
Try another launcher, if doesn't work, go for a reset. After the last update I had several bugs and a reset solved the situation, at least for me.
P.s. The poco launcher isn't fast and smooth as nova, try this, very very smooth and without any lags or stuttering.
Hi. Thanks for the advice. I noticed that running the Security built in memory cleaner solved the issue for a few hours (seems that there was a memory management issue).
I just received a new update (12.0.3) and so far the issue is not happening anymore.
I'm having this problem again in 12.0.4.
The issue happens also with other screens:
* When sharing a file, I can't scroll to the app I need as it keeps resetting the scroll to the start position
* Clicking on news from Google Discover does not work
* Google Tasks widget keeps flickering
All this issues can be resolved temporarily by cleaning memory using the rocket icon.

What's the name of the launcher app? I haven't changed any permissions. Which permission do you think that relates to this issue?

Hi. I bought poco m3 pro 5g and i have the same issue. Did anyone solve it?
Please try the recommendations provided above and report your success.
Here are some more.
1: Try a different launcher.
2: Power off your phone. Wait 30 seconds, start it again.
3: Check if the built in screen protector is causing the problem.
4: Check touch sensor : Settings - About Phone - All Specifications - Tap Kernel Number 10 times - Touch sensor.
5: Factory reset your phone.
Try these in the particular order and report your success. Do step 5 only if you have tried everything else and it doesn't work.
If you have the issue still after the reset, you have two options, wait for an update and hope it will be fixed or get your phone replaced due to a faulty touch panel.
