Question App settings not being saved (Solved) - Google Pixel 7 Pro

Just like it says. I am having a issues with some apps not saving after I set them. It happens when I shut the app down or reboot and I find that the phone is not doing what I set for the app. I open the app to check the settings and it has all been erased like new. If I keep the app open it runs all the settings correctly and saves them but as soon as I close the app or reboot it some of those apps default like it is a brand new app. Any thoughts?
Thanks

bump...

Man I hope someone can help us out with a lil insight. Thanks for the reply. I thought I might have screwed up a few things while setting up this new phone. I am on the latest build stable.

is it the permissions being cleared because its being "Paused". under the app's app info page there is a toggle Unused app settings--> Pause app activity if unused. make sure this is off.

No that doesn't appear to be that either. I checked all the apps that seem to be having this problem. Unfortunately that isn't it either. Thank you for the suggestion! IDK if a reflash without wiping would help?

I have never seen this or experienced it. Have you done "something" different? Tried to root, or install a ROM, or...???? If it keeps happening EVEN to native/default/system apps then I would recommend a factory reset with a low level cache wipe...if it can be done on this phone.

I would go for the reflash, and in the end, go for a clean flash.
I didn't experience this problem, but I did have an issue where every time I set a conversation as a priority, the second I left that screen, it reset back to default. I don't have the issue now, but I've also reflashed since then.

I have fixed it by wiping the affected apps data and then uninstalling them and readding the settings. Thanks guys!

Some odd Force Closing issues

Hey guys, since rooting my Ultra I have noticed that I have two particular apps force close...one is the Play Store, it just randomly force closes and once it does it won't stop and then I am forced to reboot the phone in order for it to work but surely enough it just randomly happens again.
Also I have a problem with what I believe is the phone app force closing and this too seems to be at random. Both force closes don't seem to have a specific trigger... I'll just unlock the phone and boom FC or I'm browsing the forums and BOOM FC.
All I've done was root the phone, freeze the amazon apps (sometimes I delete them) and then I also remove or freeze all Verizon apps minus My Verizon...ooh and I freeze all the "set up" apps but I am not sure if any of this has to do with the FC's.
I have kind of been curious of maybe when I restore my phone to stock if maybe I'm not using the correct files even though it says they or X1080 obake files...
Could anyone shed some light on my issue here or is anyone else going through this as well? It's very frustrating having these random FC's especially when its the play store!

That error seems to be pertaining to the Download Manager app. Try this;
1. Go to MENU
2. Go to SETTINGS
3. Go to APPS
4. Look for DOWNLOAD MANAGER under ALL
5. Disable it then enable it
6. Clear data and cache

It could all be related to the Download Manager app as is a system service that handles long-running HTTP downloads.

Touch Screen Not Working

I had weird problems with Moto G3 touch screen.
1. Touch screen hangs when I restart phone and immediately swipe for notifications.
2. Sometimes home buttons are not working.
3. Sometimes whole touch screen doesn't work. Lock and unlock solves issue.
4. This is really weird. When home button is not working. I press and hold for a moment. Google App starts and all 3 buttons start working.
5. Notification window automatically flashes at regular interval without swiping.
I don't understand. I tried to debug.. It seems software issue not hardware issue. Please help.
Sounds like a lag problem... memory full or runaway app... I would first do a cache wipe, then check memory usage and make sure it isn't almost full, then look at storage because I have seen phones do this when internal storage is very limited.
Thanks for reply. One more problem added

I have done factory reset twice. I always keep enough space in phone. I cleanup everyday. Memory issue can never be problem for me. I dont keep unnecessary data. Now i have observed one more problem. Notification window automatically flashes at regular interval without doing anything.

Hmm... the whole notification bar is flashing at regular intervals? This really sounds like a software issue... Are you stock?
Honestly, at this point you need to absolutely verify hardware or software... I would factory default, and skip everything in setup, do not add Google account (important!) or restore anything, except login to WiFi. Does it still do it? If so, it is probably hardware and you need to RMA it to Moto, if it is OK then it's a software issue in one of your apps.
Any screen protector or case? Sometimes they are known to do weird things on this device, especially tempered glass ones.

Thanks for quick reply. I agree with you. It's software issue. It works fine in safe mode. Actual hardware is fine. May be I can try factory reset one more time without adding google account. Okay. I will get back to you once I do reset. Thnx buddy.

Add the Google account but don't restore apps... Setup all the Google services and test, if it's OK then start adding apps a few at a time. If it starts acting up its a system settings issue, factory reset and add Google account but don't restore any services at all and continue to setup like a new device.

S7 causing multiple issues (Slowdown, stuttering, auto closing)

Hey,
Yesterday started noticing issues for my S7, which I've had since launch. Have not rooted it or flashed anything to it, but noticed issues yesterday and still occurring now after trying a few things.
Issues include:
-Opening a folder/pressing multi task button, it will probably auto close in a few seconds.
-Kingdom hearts game is now stutters every few secs, music and video.
-Keyboard vibration isn't quite keeping up to button presses.
-General slowness, drag an icon to uninstall it, doesn't direct to the home screen. Even if it did and you dragged it to uninstall, it didn't on one occasion.
-Playing a video on the Youtube app will eventually cause the video to stop/pause every few seconds
I tried clearing system cache, turning off/on, restarting, using smart manager to clear app caches. None of these have seemingly fixed the issues.
Any suggestions would be welcome and greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I think it is related to latest oculus update. try deleting this app if you have it.
Try to factory reset your phone, but if that doesn't help then I would suggest taking it to the repair shop.

Very good point, I did notice that update yesterday, I'll have to try it later when I get the chance, surprised it can mess with the phone despite not being in VR mode though... Thanks for the suggestion!
As for factory reseting, I'd like that to be the last thing to try, as 1. It's gonna be a pain to restore everything back, and 2. I have my bus ticket on my phone using an app, and I think I may lose it if I do this...

It's because the app is stuck in an install loop, the update never completes
Oculus Rooms is the culprit, kill it until they fix it
No factory reset necessary. Install Package Disabler Pro, disable the following:
- All bloatware (via menu option)
- Facebook App Manager
- Facebook App Installer
- Oculus Home
Reboot, wait 5 minutes, and see how Kingdom Hearts is doing at that point.
Hey guys, recently my phone is acting really weird... Whenever i install a new app from play store, when i try to open it, the app crashes.
If i uninstall it and reinstall from the play store it works just fine.
Any ideas about what could be the issue?

Try clearing play store cache, if it still does it, boot to recovery and clear caches from there

Just to update, I uninstalled all Oculus related stuff and it's all fine again. Thanks a lot!
Only problem will be when I want to use Gear VR again, I presume it will all be installed again, though at this point I don't use it regularly really, so I can leave it for a while.

Just a quick update
When i did that it worked that day. Now i installed a new app and the craching app issue is back :/
I'll try to clear android cache from TWRP and see what happens
So it worked for one app (the one i tried after clearing the cache). Opened the app and no crashing. Later this week i installed a new app and same problem, so i booted to recovery and cleared cache from there. Installed a new app (google weather i think) and the app crashed... Any other thoughts on that subject?

Settings automatically change

RE: Samsung Galaxy AO2s. Certain of my settings sometimes and automatically change. The settings change without my permission. It's like it doesn't stay the way I set it. Is there anything I can do to stop it from resetting my settings? It is very annoying.

Which settings?
Clear system cache.
It may be a system or 3rd party app that has permission to change system setting. If so find it and deal with it directly. Clear it's data or revoke permissions although that could cause other side effects.
Try clearing Google play Services data, a prime offender...
There's also the possibility of malware as this is abnormal behavior. Find the cause or do a factory reset. Be careful what you install and download...
Two settings that have done this. First is the display which reverts down to 20 seconds and the other is the bluetooth. The display is the worst one especially when I am on a business call and I need the screen on for the keyboard usage.

You need to track down the app responsible.
First try clearing the system cache from the boot menu. It will cause no harm and can fix all manner of erratic behaviors. I do it about once a month (or if needed) as part of routine maintenance.
How do I get to the boot menu?

Question Missing checkbox in the UI

Dear all, I'm wondering if anyone has the same problem that I have been facing since I got my S22 Ultra. The checkbox is always invisible after I selected something, and it affects every UI where there are checkboxes. This affects both the light and dark themes. Anyone has a solution?
That's File Manager?
They are actually selected though, right?
Does it happen in safe mode?
Try clearing the system cache.

Yes that's file manage. It doesn't matter the app though, it happens in every app that allows selecting multiple items through the checkbox (e.g., Gallery). I just tried it in Safe mode and it's the same. Yes, the files are selected, but without the indication, it is kind of difficult to see what has been selected in some of the apps.

Something is screwy with the UI.
Was it always like this?
Did a third app start this?
Try clearing the system cache... it clears up all manner of bizarre behavior sometimes.
Try clearing the One UI Home and the Samsung Experience cache. Clearing the data will lose a lot of settings.

From what I remember the UI has been like this since I received the phone. I thought it was just some bug that would go away with software patches but it has been there for the last 6 months.
Where do I clear the system cache from?

Boot menu.
It's possible the rom is corrupted. If your near a Best Buy that has a Samsung Experience center you can have them look at it. The can reflash the stock rom if needed. A factory reset might fix it but don't count on it. Unless a 3rd party app did it a factory reset is probably a waste of time.
I've never seen that before, and it looks annoying...

I've got the same issue and no solution as yet. I think this started a month or so ago and only affect Samsung apps as the check box appears in others. Actually, the check briefly shows in Samsung apps too but then disappears only leaving dark background. I've got used to it. I suspect, in my case, a combination of changes I made to phone including good lock modules

Maybe it's an issue related to a theme you have applied.
Try to apply the default theme and check if the issue still persist.

I have it on 0.5x all these time. When I set it to 1x, it does get a little funky. Some apps seems to be ok while others seems to be screwy.

True; not all themes will be compatible. Same applies to icon packs. They usually run ok but you need to sample them first. I've run the one default theme for years with a custom icon pack and wallpaper.

Insightful. Good save
Developer options can cause mischief. If you're using them you need to bear that in mind. Normally turning off all Developer options then enabling them again clears errors.
Thanks for that reminder too; normally they work so well you forget you're using them.
Tbh, now that everything is working normally, i don't miss the animations at all!!
