I have a new Edge and like it very much. One thing is annoying though. Every time I boot up I get a long list of apps showing which are allowed to display over other apps and which are not. I don't need to see this every time I start my phone. I have contacted Motorola support multiple times and searched the net for a way to stop this list from appearing, but haven't found a solution. I admit this isn't the end of the world, but if anyone knows how to stop this unnecessary list from appearing I'd like to know.
Thanks

I bought the tf700 about a month and a half ago after waiting close to 9 months for it. Unfortunately I am experiencing some problems, but I am not sure if the tablet is defective or I'm doing (maybe not doing) something to cause these issues. I have noticed people on other threads are experiencing some of the same issues, but not all of them. The problems include:
*browser constantly crashing/closing
*having to touch the screen multiple times for it to respond
*some websites or appls reloading/flashing multiple times while trying to scroll or type something
*while trying to type, the cursor moving around, jumping to the front of words or deleting words
*taking quite a while for webpages to load
*screen freezes
I really hope that these are problems tat can be fixed because I anticipated this tablet for so long. I find myself frequenly just giving up and switching to my desktop for faster results because it is extremely annoying trying to google something and the page closing or have to retype words in mulitple times because they get erased while typing. I have given up on trying to use the facebook app because the page gets all jumbled up or freezes constantly.
Please give me any advice or suggestion to how to fix these problems or do I just own a defective device?

perform a hard reset and see if that helps. it won't erase anything so no worries.
power down tablet
hold power and vol down until you get to a boot screen
let go and just let it boot the rest of the way
and if you're using the dock, turn off the touchpad when you type. i find that i always hit it which is why my cursor jumped around. not sure if it's the same thing you're seeing.
Thank you! I am going to try that right now!!!! I dont have the keyboard dock =( so maybe I am hitting the screen or something but I have tried to type letter by letter before and sometimes it happens then too. AHH
Hard reset in prgoress..
the issue with the browser closing seems to be an android issue right now and not exclusive to the tf700. I've seen threads complaining about the same browser closing issues on other devices and have seen it myself on my phone as well as the infinity. It doesn't seem to be isolated to one browser either.
I know this has been asked many, many times before, but I'm having the biggest problem finding a working app that actually prevents selected apps from autostarting when the phone boots up. I'm currently on the 4-1-2013_PA-4.2.2 with aosp_LK_5.4 and don't really have any other real issues with the rom/kernel. I'm just so freakin annoyed when I first turn on the phone and I check under "Show Running Services," there are several apps that i absolutely DO NOT need starting up when the phone boots up. Some are apps that I use often such as Facebook, and Facebook Messenger, UCCW, Airdroid v2, etc. There are a couple others, but you get the point.. Anyway...some apps have options in their settings menu to disable running on startup, and other don't. There are just a few apps that no matter what I do, I cannot get those dang apps to stop running on startup! Yeah, I know it's as simple as just going to the Apps part of settings and clicking on Show Running Services and disabling one at a time, but that gets old QUICK! I've tried several different apps to prevent these pesky apps from peeking their ugly heads out after starting up my phone. None of them really seem to do the job like I'd like them to. Most recently, I've tried fooling around with Rom Toolbox Pro's "Auto Start Manager," but that is kind of confusing. It allows you to enable each individual "receiver" based on what is "triggering" that given receiver, such as "pre-boot", "boot completed", "connectivity changed", "configuration changed", etc... One would think that it should be plain-as-day to figure out which receivers to disable, but that just isn't seeming to get the job done. Does anyone PLEASE have any recommendations as to which app I should give a try? I'm about to pull my hair out with each and every boot-up of the phone!!
Thanks guys!! !

Like 5 minutes ago I was about to charge my phone when I noticed some weird notifications in chinese writing that said "brendan's url" and then the weird chinese writing. Then I saw three icons with the android face on them that said the same brendans url. I just really dont know what they are or the purpose. Its just weird! Has anyone seen this or should I be worried? Maybe its a virus or something.
Thanks ahead for the Help.
Oh and if I open then they take me to a website called
blog.avenc.tw
Tries opening ir but it just doesnt load.
More weird stuff
More weird icons and notifications appeared.
These are the screenshots.
May be it will be helpfull
Found at another forum
This is downloaded by "Software Update" App Version 09.05. Force stop it and disable for time being.
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.
I posted this under Motorola Edge Questions, but it may be an Android 11 question so I'm posting it here as well. If I'm posting incorrectly just tell me and I'll try to get it right.
I have a new Edge and like it very much. One thing is annoying though. Every time I boot up I get a long list of apps showing which are allowed to display over other apps and which are not. I don't need to see this every time I start my phone. I have contacted Motorola support multiple times and searched the net for a way to stop this list from appearing, but haven't found a solution. I admit this isn't the end of the world, but if anyone knows how to stop this unnecessary list from appearing I'd like to know.
Thanks
