Every time I reboot my phone, all my default app selections gets erased/reseted. Is this happening to you too? Any solutions?
Seems like it's only affecting selected few 3rd party paid apps. Such as MX Player Pro. Weird...

Not sure if this is a common problem. I couldn't find anything on the interwebs indicating that others are having this issue frequently.
It seems like my Camera application will almost never allow me to see the pictures that I've taken. When I tap on the picture preview it just goes to a blank screen. If I hit slideshow, it momentarily tries to take me to the slideshow and then bounces me right back.
Sometimes after force closing it with the system monitor app a few times will eventually let me see previews.
It's pretty infuriating that it does this and I have no idea what would cause it. I'm thinking about buying Vignette, but in my opinion the stock camera should work.
Any ideas?
You know what I just noticed - it appears to be the gallery app and not the camera app. Anyone else have this problem with Gallery?
It is most likely a media scan issue with the gallery (sometimes my pictures take a long time to show up on their own as well).
You can either reboot the phone or use an app to rescan media. There are a bunch out there (search market for rescan or scan media). Or if you are running CM6, you can choose the function in the built-in Dev Tools app. Tasker also has this function built in if you wanted to set up something like forcing a rescan every time you exit the Camera app.
Hi all,
I hope this issue has not been raised before, did not find anything with a search.
Sometimes I have the Issue that whenever I try to open the Google Music App, another App is opened (and if that happens, it is that app consistently regardless of how often I try to open Google Music).
If it happens, then it does not matter whether I open Google Music from the App Drawer, from the dockbar, or any other shortcut on the homescreen.
The problem is only fixed when the device is restarted. I went to the apps menu in settings and killed the app that opened (in this case it was the contacts app, in another case Foursquare) when I tried to open Google Music. Google Music was not open and not in the Cache. Still, issue remained until after a restart.
I have not yet found a way to replicate this behaviour in a consistent manner.
I am on 4.0.1, ITL41F.
Any ideas / comments?
Thanks,
Moritz
I had the same thing happen on my HTC Inspire. I think it is a problem with Google Music. My GNex has only done it once or twice.
Does anyone use PLEX Media Player on this phone? Mine will randomly crash pretty often. I'm not looking for assistance especially, just curious if anyone else uses this app on their phone. And if they have the same issue.
I have a p930. This happens on every ROM. It will crash if I don't change to the "Queue" screen as soon as I start the app. Then I can use it as normal. But if I switch to another screen first, it will crash.
PLEX is awesome by the way. I use it on all of my other devices and it works perfect(mostly).
I use it. I haven't had any problems with it.
Which version of the app are you using?
So I'm having two pretty major problems with my phone.
1. The Music app doesn't work.
2. My screen goes blank during a call, and I cannot hang up
1. When i tap the Music icon, it "bumps," but nothing happens. If I use Firefly to check a song, and click the store link, it will open, and I can buy the song. But if I try to go to my media from there, the app crashes.
2. I'm assuming my prox sensor is locked or something? As soon as I begin a call, the screen goes black. The only way I can hang up is to hold the power button for 40s to force a shutdown, or if my headset is handy, I can switch it on and that will reactivate the screen.
I have contacted Amazon support about issue #1 and the first question the support girl asked was if I had installed any third-party apps through the Google Play Store. She said that she had seen this issue before and that was always the culprit.
Has anyone else experienced these issues? Any way to track down what app is causing them?
The easiest way to figure it out is to uninstall Google Play Store for now, and any other apps that you might have installed one by one, and see which ones makes a difference.
FYI I have the Play Store installed with a bunch of my usual apps and my Music app works fine.
Amazon music app will stop working if you update the app through Google Play. Go to your setting in Google Play and select "Do not auto-update apps". Un-install the music app through Google Play and the Amazon music app should start the work properly, if not re-install the music app through Amazon.
If you have a screen protector without a hole for the proximity sensor that is located below the front camera then that is the reason why the screen turns off and you are not able to hang up.

Thanks for the advice!
I do have the Google Play Store set for manual updates, but it is possible that I accidentally did an "Update all" at some point. I know I did it once and screwed up Netflix, but I was able to just delete and reinstall from Amazon.
Unfortunately, since it's a Fire Phone, Amazon Music is not available in the app store, it's built in. Does anyone know of any way to "reinstall" the app other than restoring the phone?
Regarding the proximity sensor, I don't have a screen protector, and I forgot to mention that it's not constant. Yesterday, I was able to make a call normally. And often, rebooting will solve the problem temporarily as well.
If the Amazon Music was accidentally installed through Google Play it may still be on your phone. Use ES File Explorer to see if you have Amazon Music installed in your User Apps and System Apps. If so then use ES File Explorer to un-installed the music app that is in your User Apps.
Hey guys I've got the following problem with my unrooted Fire TV Box and its driving me nuts:
Sometimes (I believe its after using Kodi, but it could also be that this also happens if the device is just on for a while) Apps like Twitch, Pluto, etc. are not showing any Video until I restart the damn box.
I've tried killing stuff in the background with es taskmanager or with the app settings - but only thing that helps usually is to restart the whole box.
The apps itself are working - but once I try to start a stream its not showing anything (on twitch I "hear" the sound for less than a second once the problem is "on" but no video and also sound stops immidiateley,)
Anyone had/has this with their box and what can I do about it? Its really annoying.
I'm using FireStarter as Launcher incase thats important.. =)
