Strange Market Problem - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

I have no idea why the Android market has suddenly gone dark and i cant see the main screen, when i click on my apps i can see them as normal and if i click on settings comes up as normal and if i click the search button and type in the name of an app it shows the page as normal but anytime i click back the page is just black ive attached a screenshot of this, only happened after i switched SIM cards but i switch SIM cards all the time and nothing like this has ever happened before, i was playing around with Titanium Backup earlier but i don't think i made any major changes and as far as im aware the market was fine then.
Has anyone ever experienced a problem like this before and any solution?
Cheers

Go to Settings - Applications - All - Market. Clear data and try again. Should that not help uninstall any updates and open the market again.

Had this problem before. A simple reboot did the trick for me. :]
rebooted.. it worked for awhile. then it started up again. seems to be on and off.. very random. i looked thru everything on my phone thinking "maybe" theres some option thats making it do this, but nothing. its quite annoying when im trying to txt.

I'm assuming you're talking about the physical keyboard; its a quick keys bug, just push the search button first and it'll disable it

There actually is a setting for keyboard shortcuts - clear all of them and the problem goes away. No bug, the ROM has the shortcuts set when you flash it for some reason. Flash a newer ROM and it shouldn't do it - or just clear the shortcuts.
I can't look in my phone right now to tell you where the setting is at but it might do some good for you to look through them and become familiar so you don't call something a bug that isn't.

yeah i figured this was the problem. i looked through my phone pretty throughly and didn't see any options though. I'll look again and get back to this thread n report.
this has been happening on and off to my phone for the last couple of weeks, I am still running RC4. it is very strange, the ROM worked fine for a while and now does this every so often, pressing E opens email app, S opens search. a reboot fixed everytime and then for what seems like no reason at all, it starts again.
will go to stable this week and hopefully it will go away. just thought i'd add another device to the list of ones with the issue.
i have no shortcuts setup at all, and have double checked. have been using CM7 since the start and it never happened prior to RC4.
When this happen just hit the "symb/search" button and the keyboard will work again
Sorry it took so long to get back with the cure but here it is:
settings>applications>quick launch
In there is where all the hw keyboard shortcut settings are. Clear any you don't want, create new ones, or whatever. Clear the ones that are giving you issues and this should solve it. If you ever clear your user data (factory reset) then it clears these settings also, so you may have to go in and delete the shortcuts again.
Hope this helped!
thank you! i cleared it all.

Camera keeps asking to save to SD card!

This is really annoying!
Every time I launch the camera, it asks me if I want to save to the sd card. I have the SD card icon selected in the camera app but it keeps on asking EVERY TIME!
Is there some way to stop this annoying behavior?

Well that's strange then. Maybe to try the general things: Have you tried cleaning data and cache for the camera app?
That's a good idea - I'll try that and report back in a while. Thx!
Have you changed your DPI? When i changed mine, the sd setting wasnt visible on the screen and it would ask where to save every time i opened the camera app.
Any solution to this issue?

Hi, did you ever find a solution to this issue? I have the same thing going on...and have seen other threads with similar complaints on other websites (though with no solution)...
I tried the solutions and it worked for a while but today, it asked again! I have no idea why, so I cleared the cache, restarted the phone and it's not asked again, at least for the moment!
It's not a great fix but I don't really know what's causing it!

Downloads App Always Pauses

I've been loving this phone since Saturday but came across an issue that I can't figure out how or why it's happening and to solve it. When I'm downloading a some what large file, I'll turn the screen off and after a certain amount of time Nougant will pause my download. While I love the ability to easily pause and cancel downloads finally, it's getting quite annoying have to check my phone ever 15min to make sure it's still downloading. I'm not sure the length of time yet for it to auto-pause my downloads, but it constantly happens.
Any suggestions on a way around this or how to fix it? Marshmallow didn't do this on my 6p.
Thanks!!

Try going to Settings --> Battery --> (top right 3 dots) --> Battery Optimize --> All Apps --> Downloads --> Do not optimize.
Only thing I can think of is the new Doze and sleep features kick in since they are set automatically to optimize. Try that and see if it helps.

Thanks for the help and to think I thought I've been thru all options. Just went and changed it and will test it out and report back. If it doesn't work, I'll change the Chrome option as well too.
Thanks!
Ended up pausing again so I turned it back on and turned off optimization on Chrome and I'll see what happens.
I've had this problem on a number of Android phones from various manufacturers but haven't found the cure yet. A reboot usually cures it for me.

This is the first phone for me that will pause stuff. Older phones would sometimes stop downloading tho.
Appears like changing optimization for chrome fixed the only issue so far!!

I guess that would also make some sense if you are downloading via Chrome. Glad you were able to get it figured out.

Yeah I misspoke, thought it was being controlled by the Downloads app. Thanks to you I was able to get it fixed.
I'm having exact same problem but I have a galaxy note 4.Downloading large files always pauses in chrome and cm browser but it never happens in stock internet app(samsung default browser).
I have whitelisted both browsers but that doesn't solves the problem for me.
Are there any other solutions?

If I just exit Chrome, download still works. If I close out the app, it'll pause and I'll have to go hit resume. Maybe yours is same way?

Can't press 'Install' when installing an APK

Good evening, just lately I have encountered a bug when trying to install APK's. When I go to install via Package Installer it will open up the screen and when I go to press next it doesn't do anything, I have tried rotating the screen and pressing Next and it just doesn't work whatsoever...
I powered off my device and powered back on and this seemed like it fixed the problem.
Is/has anyone else encountered this? I've also noticed ometimes when typing on the keyboard the sound goes tinny for 5 seconds or so and go back to normal, it's been like this since unboxing too.
I haven't had this issue exactly, but when I install a new app and it asks for permission to access my location/storage/etc.. I can't press Allow.. I can press Deny though no problem at all. Right now I'm manually going into apps/permissions and granting all my apps whatever I think it needs.. Just a pain to do it that way though!
I had this issue the other night. It seems an invisible overlay gets stuck sometimes. Not sure what app or why, but clearing all the recent apps fixed it for me. Try that if it happens again instead of waiting for the phone to restart.
Sent from my G3223
Also had this problem two days ago and restarting seemed to fix it. I was disabling some of the stock apps at the time so I wondered if that had something to do with it but I don't know, don't think I re-enabled any of the apps or anything before or after the reboot and so far it's been working since.

Thanks for your feedback and I have also had that problem too. Of course yes we can go into app settings and enable and like you stated it's a pain haha. I know this isn't the place to point these problems out and get them fixed but it's nice to know I'm not the only one ??

Yes dude, that's correct and thanks for that valuable information I do clean my cache regularly and can't say I've come across the problem for a while, so thanks again.

I'd like to mention I have disabled and uninstalled quite a lot too, but I can't say if this adds to the problem. It'd just be really nice to hopefully get the new build of software that was recently announced on Xperia Blog but I can't say if this will fix the problems etc. I don't know? ??

I've experienced this issue as well and the culprit seemed to be an overlay permission from another app. As I'm sure everyone knows, this phone's screen is very bright even at it's lowest setting. I like to read at night and the light bothers my wife so I started using an app called Nightowl that further dims the screen. Nightowl produces a overlay that dims the entire screen. If i happen to be running nightowl and try to install the app, I can't tap install. Once I turn off the app I'm able to install like normal. Hope that helps lead you in the right direction as restarting the phone every time a problem presents itself is kind of a bummer.

My Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite goes black after using for while after Android 11 update, is this fixable or a bug that I should report?

I got a Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite and it's running on Android 11 since some weeks.
But after it updated to Android 11, it sometimes goes black when I'm using it for a while and I've to unlock it all the time.
It goes black and then returns to the lock screen.
Does anybody else also have this problem and is this a bug that I should report?
I've also a logcat, I think that it will be useful.

Sounds like you have something running that is causing a soft reboot of your phone
I've been using android 11 on this device for a while and not had any such issues
Mine is going back to Xiaomi today, mine keeps going into a boot loop and lasts for 3 hours or so sometimes before it sorts its self out, if I reboot it it just carry's on into boot loop, it often starts this when it is charging, at the moment the phone is unusable, so it is going back for them to check out.

Quick fix would be to factory reset your phone
Long fix would be to do an Adb logcat and record the exact moment your device soft reboots and see what it is but even then it maybe hard to work out what is causing it

I have done several factory resets, it did not improve my phone and the ADB logcat is not something I know about so I have now sent it back, I love the phone but I can't deal with the continued frustration it causes me, I am happy if they fix the issue and send it back to me, if not I would probably purchase another one.
My wife also has this phone (I purchased 2 at the same time) she does not have any issue with hers and we have pretty mush the same Apps and everything on the phones, I have even used her charger to see if that's causing some of the issue..
I will keep you all informed of the out come.
I've readed on Reddit that people experience crashes on their Xiaomi all the time.
So I've updated Webview and I'll let you know if the problem is solved.

There was a bug yesterday that caused Google apps (and others that use Web view) to force close due to a bug in webview. This only effected a specific version of webview and was fixed in a few hours. I didn't notice any such issues on my device but I was using latest beta version.
As long as your webview and chrome is up to date your apps will function correctly (in regards to webview)
I tried that, but that didn't resolve the issue.
I have also done a factory reset but the bug still appears.
I know for sure that there is nothing wrong with my phone, so it must be a MIUI side issue and I'll report that bug to them.
So that means the topic is closed.
Thank you for your help!

If you have done a factory reset and the problem still exists & you haven't installed any other app which could cause a soft reboot without any logs you will never know why it's doing it.
You could also have a hardware fault
It's very unlikely related to MIUI otherwise everyone (or a very high % of users) would also have the same issue and they are not. It's related to your device.
There's only two main bugs with MIUI android 11 on this device
1 - 3rd party launchers gestures & an icon of the app you're using appearing in the top left of screen when closing an app which has a work around of launching the system launcher then switching to 3rd party launcher.
2 - notification layout is incorrect with text too far aligned to the left. This doesn't effect functionality but looks wrong & could slightly crop off the far left of text.
I've done some research, asked the same question at more forums and tried some things and I'm convinced that this is a bug because of these reasons:
- My phone worked perfectly fine on Android 10
- I don't think there is a app that causes this bug because they worked perfectly fine on Android 10.
- There is no chance that there is anything wrong with my device because I'm really careful with it and I didn't done dangerous things for my phone
I'll report it to Xiaomi through Services and Feedback
Ok, if you read my message #7 above I explain about my phone going into reboot and boot looping etc, I have sent it back to Xiaomi on Tuesday, and this morning I have tracked the repair, They Say:
1. Fault category: Electrical - Other
2. Awaiting Component
So my phone obviously has a HARDWARE fault. I am pleased with the speed Xiaomi are dealing with this - so far.

I've changed the settings now, it should be accessible for everyone.
It wasn't recorded at the exact
moment the issue has happened but I really hope it could be useful because it recorded the crashed that happened earlier this day.

Do you have a messaging widget on your home screen?
Can you remove all widgets from your home screen and then see if your phone continues to restart.
Looks like something is happening when you receive a message and the widget is failing to update
If it's a 3rd party app or launcher with the widget uninstall it
I don't have a widget, I use the default launcher because I can't use Smart Launcher 5 (which I used on Android 10) with gestures.
I use the default time and weather widget from Xiaomi which is linked to the default Weather and Clock app.
I've removed all my widgets from the home screen, I'll let you know if that works.

That is really the only error in your logcat (it also doesn't seem a complete logcat and only a part of one)
As mentioned the logcat needs to be recording at the exact moment the restart happens.
Other things you can try is clearing data of the following
Google services framework
Google
Google play services

I guess I'll try to install Smart Launcher then, and then I'll try the things you advised me.
If the problem is still there, I'll make a new logcat.
