Note 20 Ultra having sudden crashing issues - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers

This isn't my phone. It's my wife's. Her phone was working fine until a couple of hours ago. Now she has five apps that are crashing. There is an install notification in the notification area. When she taps it, it goes nowhere. Clear and swipe don't get rid of it. She goes into the update area and checks for an update and there were no updates available. Nothing was done to the phone before this all started happening. It was just sitting on a table.
I know nothing about these phone and how they work but I know that you all do. She's tried restarting the phone multiple times and it's made no difference. She's also uninstalled and reinstalled the apps. Any suggestions on how I might help her out?

Actually, we might have found and fixed the issue.

Android wear connecting....

Hello
Ever since the Google Play Services update from a week or so ago I get this continuous notification. Does anyone know how to stop it? I updated to the latest G.P.S. from a few days ago and it still there. I do not have Wear installed or a AW device (yet) and Bluetooth is always off. It can't be dismissed and clicking it doesn't nothing.
Anyone else getting this?
bump
anyone else has gotten this message pop up?
I'm having this problem as well. I previously had a moto 360 which I sold and I then uninstalled the app. Probably around the same time as you, I started getting the notification (I noticed it coincided with a google play services update as well) but this was long after I had uninstalled the android wear app.
I can't turn off bluetooth, otherwise my pebble would be useless, so that isn't a solution for me (though it sounds like that doesn't work anyway). Long pressing on the notification to bring up app info tells me the Google Play services is the app responsible for the notification. Rebooting the phone gets rid of the notification temporarily but it always seems to come back.
I've just tried clearing the cache for g p s and rebooted so I will have to wait and see if it comes back.
A search of the android wear subreddit shows three people there have had the same issue so that makes 5 of us (or 4 if you are one of them), but no solution.
It's hard to tell how much it has impacted my battery but google play services is right at the top of the list for battery usage on my phone lately

Note 12 keeps crashing with most apps.

My note 12 keeps crashing and instantly exiting apps (going back to home screen). I often lose my work because of this. I don't know what's the cause. I tried uninstalling a lot of apps. My system keeps crashing to the home screen.
I noticed this on my tablet and found out it was an update to the Google Now app that caused crashing. I removed the Google Now widget from my home screen and that resolved the problem. Google released an update yesterday that seems to have fixed the crashing.

I'll check if you're right.
I don't have the google now widget on the homescreen.
If that doesn't help, try troubleshooting step 1: Factory reset.
Not only does mine crash constantly, but web pages constantly reload/refresh while you are reading them and it is driving me crazy!
And, yes, I've tried factory resetting.....

Why does my Google Pixel randomly reboot?

Hi. My device worked just perfect until 5 days ago. It slowly began to ignore some tasks like opening apps or doing calls.
2 days ago my google pixel with Android 8.0 started to ignore every input i made, like opening apps or trying to reboot. It behaving like this after taking some pictures with the rear cam. After some attepts in opening apps it started to reboot. But instead of a normal reboot it stuck in a booting screen (the one with the Google G and a gray animation bar underneath). It took a while and i waited until it seemed that the OS booted correctly. But after this my device started to reboot randomly after a few minutes. After a while i figured out, that i can hold the power button while the screen with the google G was up to reboot it normally. This worked so that the phone was at least half an hour or more working until it rebooted again out of nowhere.
So far i tried to get it in safe mode and delete some apps like whatts app etc. In safe mode i didnt notice any crashes so far.... but in normal one it does a lot so deleting apps wasnt helpful. Turning on flight mode was not helpful either.
What can I do? What could it be?

Same thing happens with my Pixel, sometimes the phone is just get stuck on some random screen then I have to press and hold it for 15 seconds to let it reboot again. Lately I have started to see another problem, when it reboots bunch of google apps and services stops working and gives hell lot of notifications. All this started to happen after Android Oreo update

I noticed problems with my ear speaker as well. And i cant make phone calls. The phone doent respond anymore when i try to.
Same problem after android 8.0 update
If you have installed the latest Google phone/dialer app, that is likely the problem, was for me.
Find the app in settings and uninstall,it will roll back to a previous version and hopefully fix your issues.

My pixel does the same thing, ever since I updated to 8.0, have you tried doing a factory reset? I haven't done it yet, I have been uninstalling apps for the last couple of days, when it is in safe mode it works good, but when it's not, it freezes and restarts. I'm going to try uninstalling the latest version on google dialer to see if it helps.
I just want to update everyone in case you are having a problem with the random reboots.
I uninstalled the phone update and it was still randomly rebooting so I backed up the stuff that I needed and just did a factory reset. I have been a full day on my phone without any problems. I did a factory reset twice, just in case, for some crazy reason, the phone still had a problem, I wiped it twice! I think you'll be good with only wiping once.
Anyways to sum it all up, I did a factory reset, restored all of my backed up data from my pixel, I had about 120 apps and the phone has not had a problem since. I hope it helps someone else.

Mate, please report if you're still getting the reboots. Mine disappear for two weeks after I do a factory reset and then come back. Same happens in Safe Mode. Bug report claims it's 'Sense Key : Hardware Error [current]' and Google rep says it's a hardware issue (Toshiba's memory or something). Buganiser thread is here.
wrong place sry

Yea, the issue is back, has been for about 2 weeks. This phone is really starting to be a pain in the ass, I can't believe that it happens so often. Did you do a warranty fix?
That's a pity. Yes, I did. Got the device roughly two and a half weeks ago. Flashed 8.0 and then sideloaded 8.1 right away. Knock on wood, all good. But there's still a report every other day in Buganiser of a phone even on 8.1 doing this.
Got mine at release. November 16. Google won't replace it either. I have a one pixel brick
I have the same problem. However, it is not frequent enough on Android P beta. But as soon as I go back to the stable build, it starts to do the same thing. Did you guys have any luck resolving this or should I send it back to the vendor I bought it from. They won't replace the device in Pakistan but may be will fix it in some manner.

Sudden Device Maintenance prompts for Chrome and PlayServices

Hey Guys,
A few weeks ago (not exactly sure of the time) I started getting a lot of prompts for Google Chrome and Play Services using a lot of power. It's the white box that pops up on screen, lists the apps, and gives the options to check again in a week or fix now. I keep hitting fix now, and after a couple days, sometimes later that day, I get the same alert. If I pull down the system bar, it's the Device Maintenance panel and I can tap on fix from there.
I've uninstalled play services patches, and reinstalled. I've uninstalled chrome and reinstalled, but that doesn't seem to have done anything. I had a prompt to install the new Tmo patch (12/10/2017 ish) which I installed hoping that might fix the problems, but it didn't.
Just wondering if anyone on Tmo with the S8+ has recently had any apps starting to go crazy and constantly being bombarded with "device fix" popups. Would booting to recovery and wiping cache help?
Galaxy S8+

Stock - Updated with carrier push (12/10/2017)
No mods, no root, etc.
Thanks,

Force closing apps

Hi, I have a problem with my new P40 Pro (2 weeks old). All in all everyrhing seems very stable and well balanced software wise, but there is one very annoying thing happening.
Since the very start I have had apps randomly force closing, without any kind of error or crash message. Some even crash again and again when I start them. I open them, crash, open them, crash. Some apps like reddit (boost for reddit and baconreader) crash after a few minutes of usage. My app store (apkpure) crashes a couple of times at start up before I can even use it.
I really hope someone can help me out, does anyone else have this problem?
My phone is running on EMUI 10.1.0.147, don't have any mods besides a Huawei theme (which I only have been using sfor two days now). Also the P30 lite (new edition) of my mother has the same problem (but not as often), and it's running EMUI 10.0.0.250.
