I have an HTC Droic Incredible 2. Recently, I disable auto-syn to save battery. Also, lately, when my phone boots up, I am greeted with the following Android Assistant message. "Becasue of google's limits, the following apps cannot be killed. Please click to force close from application info." It then lists the apps that cannot be killed: Sync Service, doubletwist, Mobile IM, Sound set, maps. I then have the option to click switch to all or close (notification). Anyone have this problem? Anyone have any ideas on how to get this annoying notification to disappear? Thanks.
I don't want to be "that guy", but this is the Droid Incredible OG forum. Look for the Dinc2 one.
Look at dinc2 forums. Try a Google search.
But no, I can't say that I have seen that message.
Try looking through settings to see if there is a battery saver option, auto task manager, etc then disable it and see if it happens again.

A buddy that has a Droid Incredible on official 2.2 is having issues with the notification bar/tray and the standard messaging app.
He says that when a text or email notification comes up and he attempts to open it via the tray, the screen flashes as if it was going to open those apps but it just goes right back to the tray. Is there a update available?
The messaging app seems to crash very often. He has a few thousand messages, could that be the issue?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance, cheers.
i am on stock froyo and am having a similar issue. if i get a text notification and i press it, it will flash like it is about to go to the messaging app, but it just stays on the notification tray.
It is not that big of a problem for me though because it only happens occasionally and when it does all you have to do is move the tray up and the messaging up is there open to whatever the notification was for. I have never had the messaging app force close however.

Thanks for the relpy ericDylan.
I havent found too much either on any other forum I check. If I do come across something Ill post it here for you.
Good luck
Cheers.
Did he do a factory reset after upgrading to 2.2? There is often a lot of stale configuration left over in that upgrade.
For some reason whenever I open up a book in google books, it starts reading it aloud. I can't find a setting for this anywhere and it is driving me nuts. Has anyone else seen this? I've searched around online and have found absolutely nothing about this. I've run into this on two different ROMs now (Bugless Beast as well as Codename Android). Any help is much appreciated.
I am having the exact same problem without any luck in finding a solution. I would also appreciate any advice to a solution.
Something similar was happening to me as I typed messages in Codename Droid. It would read aloud every word I typed. I'm using Thumb Keyboard - and finally discovered that Text-to-Speech was somehow checked in settings. I had definitely not done it myself - in fact I've never realized it was there, and I've used Thumb Keyboard for years now. Maybe check there? I don't know how it would impact it - but maybe it is.
Also check in the settings for Google's text-to-speech output.
Good luck.
In google books open the book and then hold your finger down near the top of the on screen button. A slider should appear to allow you to move through the book and a bar should appear on the top of the screen. Open the menu and choose the stop reading aloud option.
Yeah, I know you can tell it to stop reading aloud, but the problem is I have to do this every time I open any book. It automatically reads every book aloud as soon as I open it.
I would try wiping data from the Google Books app...
I did that. I can't uninstall it either because it's a system app apparently. I was going to try and uninstall / reinstall after wiping data.

weird I only had to do it in one book and now none of them read aloud automatically. I just installed a 4.0.4 port with the updated gapps of course so maybe its broken in 4.0.2/3?
You should only have to change it once...
Since you've tried deleting data, I would try fixing permissions (using ROM Manager), to see of the changes are not sticking due to a permissions error...
Do you have lightflow installed? I read somewhere (I can't find it right now) there is a bug with the accessibility settings. It will sometimes enable talkback.
Bump any solution yet? It's really annoying

I think there's something to this.
I have no idea if this is always the issue, but I had this problem and when I looked at the accessibility settings, lightflow did show up and was enabled there. I turned it off, and not only does lightflow still work, google books has stopped reading out loud all the time. I'd say turning off all of the accessibility settings that are enabled would be worth a shot, even if you don't have lightflow, there might be something there that's screwing with accessibility.

This is the issue. It is a bug with ICS and not lightflow - but happens none the less.

Thanks! That definitely was the issue. Once I disabled light flow in accessibility settings, the problem went away! You rule!
Hey guys,
So i was looking through apps under setttings and i noticed that somenof that apps that i didnt even launch had force stop button available to click. Does this mean they are running in the background? And do i have to manually force stop apps everytime i close it?
And one extra question thats off topic. How do i log off out of google talk?
Thanks
No you don't have to force stop anything unless it is acting up.
To sign out of Google talk click your username at the top that is in green, hit available and then hit sign out.
But if the force button isnt greyed out and available, does that mean that app is currently running in the background? Thanks

this is the way android works, it often runs apps that it thinks will speed up multi tasking for the user. its always been this way with android. force stop them if you want, but they will come back sometimes in a never ending cycle of kill/reopen.
This is why you don't use task killers.
My LG K10 every once in a while will start making intermittent sounds similar to the old "Pong" game. There are no text messages or window or alerts that pop up when this happens, it seems to happen randomly and sometimes the sounds come through in rapid fire succession if I am driving around town. It tends to wear down my battery faster whenever this occurs. I check to see if any functions are active by hitting the square at the lower right corner of the screen and nothing shows as running.
Also when this happens a volume setting bar shows up as a pop up at the top of the screen, if I try to mute it, it does not allow me to. If I move the slider bar all the way to the left to kill the volume, the next pong sound moves the bar over to full volume. When this occurs I have zero control of the audio output volume of my phone.
This is extremely annoying and I am about to smash this phone into a thousand pieces. Questions, is this the result of a virus? Or is this the result of someone else taking control of my phone? Is this some kind of "feature" of which I am supposed to be thankful? Is there any way on this planet to put an end to this hyper annoying BS?
This is my first Android phone, I was an iPhone user previously. I am seriously considering getting rid of this and going back to iPhone. Please help.

Go to settings > general > apps and check if there are only apps that you installed.
Go to settings > general > security > phone administrators and check device administrators.
Also did you try to reset factory settings?

Yes tried admin, there are no admins other than Android Device Manager.
I have not added any apps since I bought the phone.
To me it sounds like half functional malware. Did you bought new phone from shop, or used one from someone else? However the best way of solving would be to flash stock firmware, you have tutorial for that on this forum.

I bought the phone from the T-Mobile store as a brand new phone and have not installed any apps. I assume that flashing the FW means I'll have to backup all my contacts, correct?
And thank you all for your answers I appreciate it.

Well you can backup them just in case. But they should be synced with Google so they will appear on phone once you login with Gmail account.

Assuming I have a gmail account which I don't. So backup it is. Can I do it by attaching it to one of my computers via USB, backup that is. Thanks.

Yes you can, but first you will have to make backup file on phone, or you can backup contact with some LG PC software. Also you can backup to Dropbox/mega/drive via share option from contacts. Let me know did you solved problem via flashing stock firmware.
Hi There,
I'm running the latest available version of Color OS11 on my OP9Pro in China. So it is the stock OS that came with the device - updated for the latest patch etc.
I have a couple of issues that I'm hoping to get some help with or thoughts on how to fix it.
1. Some apps just don't show any notifications. All notifications are allowed and the apps themselves work fine, but I don't get any notifications at all.
2. Google assistant works, but I can't get 'Hey Google' to work, and in the settings for voice match, it 'not available for this language'. I've looked at other forums and posts on this and followed the instructions and changed the language as suggested but it still doesn't work.
3. The phone automatically switches off 'high performance mode'. After manually turning on this setting, it switches this off automatically at some point. Do you know why that would happen? Is it something that happens when the battery dips under 20%?
Thanks, and apologies if some of this has been covered already, but I wasn't able to find a fix to this.
Cheers,
A

I don't have a ton of great answers, but I can commiserate. I've noticed with the latest OTA though that the notifications have been much better. Used to be that Gmail would never tell me when I have a message until I go into the app which defeats the purpose. Now, it gives me notifications in a timely manner.
Something important is to make sure you minimize battery savings in the settings as I think OxygenOS is too overzealous in killing apps. So, I turned off battery optimization to any app I needed notifications from that were acting up: Gmail and calendar were the main ones. Some apps like Facebook gave notifications anyway, so it's really strange as to what apps weren't working and which were.
I'm not sure about the language thing. As for high performance mode, it's likely a battery saving issue. Oneplus really seems to like to throttle things back to save battery (or hide their abysmal battery performance relative to competitors). But I'm not sure on that one.
Thanks! The high performance toggle is indeed linked with battery levels.
I'm using coloros, not oxygen os as I'm in China. So not sure if coloros is doing the same as OoS, but I have disabled battery optimization for the apps that I want notifications for but don't get it.
Even some notifications in Gmail, outlook are delayed which sometimes defeat the purpose. For example, it game me a reminder at 12:45 for my 12:30 meeting... Haha
A missing update could be the culprit if your Reminder notifications aren't coming through. Make sure the app is up to date, and then try Google Reminders again. Clear the app cache data. Clear the cache data for Google Reminders, and then try using the app again.
Thanks, all those apps are up to date, and I'm running the latest version of coloros available for now. hoping that switching to coloros 12 will fix it.
Stupid question - where do I find google reminders.. didn't seem to see it anywhere
