Hi all, when I first got my R-600, the FW I was on was the one that didn't allow to see all received messages from a single source all at once, but I was able to control my phone's music player from the watch.
Then, I got the FW upgrade where you can now read all messages from a single source at the same time, but lost the ability to control the phone's music, it still showed the album's artwork and the play/pause button matched the phone's music player state, but anytime I tried to control it from the watch, I always got a "connect to phone" screen and then a "connection failed" error message.
And now, I got the latest FW (the one that includes Bixby) and I lost the ability to reply to messages from the watch, I can't even mark them as read, I can only dismiss the notification.
Of course, my question is. Why everything keeps breaking with every "upgrade"? Is there a solution to this, besides downgrading?
I have a Nokia 8 (TA-1004) running Android Pie

Hi all,
Did a OTA update recently for HTC Sensation
Currently software information are:
Android version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense version: 3.6
Software number: 3.32.707.10
Bugs discovered are:
1) when playing music in lock screen, clicking the previous or forward button for a few times will automatically pause the music. No effect with clicking the play button to resume the music. Have to unlock the screen, go into the music app, press the play button there. At the same time, there is a popup message which says: Your phone is up to date, There are no updates available for your phone.
This happens frequently and i am annoyed with it. Rebooting does not solve the problem. Unchecking the scheduled check option under settings > about phone > software updates does not help as well.
2) the native messages app that HTC notifications does not work when any sms are received even though the settings are done properly. No notification sound, no vibration, no notification preview even when options are checked under settings. Tried using Go SMS and Handcent SMS, the notifications work, but messages typed in the popup notification when not in the app itself does not send out the message at all. which means i have to open the app and go into the thread itself to type out the messages to send.
3) SMS problem again. I realised an earlier message that i sent in the morning has been resent again around midnight. When i scroll up the thread to look for the earlier message, it cannot be found. The message showed up as the last message sent. Check with the recipient, and they confirm they have received the same message again. Messages sent from random timing are picked and resent again. This is really annoying. I am spamming people without actually doing it.
Has anyone got the same problem?
Is there any solutions to it except doing a factory reset?
No confidence that doing a factory reset will correct these bugs.
Miss GB as there are no bugs at all.
Where is this being released?
oh FFS not another thread about HTC OTA bugs, there are already loads out there, why create an entirely new thread
I was listen music in my Samsung Focus in random mode. When I want to forward to the next song, this error number displays. Now I cant access to the music hub, because every time i try, the app return me to home screen. Is the third time in a month that happens. Does anyone else get this error? Google doesn't help me this time.
Phone: Windows Focus V.1.3
OS:7.10.8107.79
FW:2103.11.8.1
HW:3.1.0.7
SW Trans:2103.11.8.1
HW Trans: 0.0.0.3
Boot:5.8.0.2
The only way to fix this is doing a reboot.
This error makes me crazy!!! 3 times in one single day....any help would be really apreciated..
That code is the HRESULT for ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE. Without getting too technical, it usually means that the program either failed to open the file successfully, or for some reason decided it wasn't going to need it and closed the open "handle" that it uses to read the file.
I don't know why this would happen. It's almost certainly a bug in the software, unless you somehow have a bunch of defective or otherwise weird files. There's a long-known bug with HTC phones where sometimes they will freeze the music player (and all other phone sound) at the gap between songs, but the specific problem you describe I've not heard of before.
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.

I used to work for a large tech company. I installed the security software on my phone and gave permissions to enable me to accept email shortly after starting a new position with new management. My phone began acting interestingly (as did my superior and those who would have access to my phone's data). It began phantom vibrating (two short successive bursts) and it would randomly show a "Syncing Messages" notification icon for about 5 seconds at a time at random times when I would use the phone. After putting the "Notification Log" widget on my phone I learned that the short visual-notificationless phantom vibrate was a "Syncing Gmail" notification. I removed a certain email address from my phone and the phantom vibes ceased. The "Syncing Messages" notification, however, persists. And randomly sometimes, when switching apps, the icon used to represent the app in the menu will be a Android system icon instead of the app icon. This is completely random.
The people that would've had permissions over my phone are highly skilled programmers in Linux and what not. I know it's far fetched to think they would've hacked into my phone (and still are). For additional context, I once permanently deleted an old Facebook profile (not just from my phone but from the ether) using my phone and when I confirmed the deletion via an email that was sent to me, Facebook told me I had initiated the deletion FROM A LINUX DESKTOP.
Attached is a photo of the expanded "Syncing Messages" notification within "Notification Launcher".
I'm curious what you think. Any help is appreciated.
P.S. I was just reviewing this post and the page went to the white dropped connection webpage with the shrieking Android guy. Again, could be coincidence, but also maybe not.
