Does anyone else use fbreader and notice that when you exit fbreader, chrome pops up for a second? This started happening after the 4.4.3 update and seems very weird. No other apps I've tried on 4.4.3 seem to have this issue.
The TiVo app has always done something like this, but chrome doesn't pop up for a second, it pops up and stays up till you get out of it.
The TiVo app I chalked up to a bug in the app, but now with something similar happening in a different app I wonder if it is something weird in android?

It's a bug that's been around since 4.4. Google never bothered to fix it.

Alright this is really weird
It happens about 1/10 times, and whenever I try to open the music app... my ScoreCenter app opens instead. I open it from my homescreen or from the app drawer, both open ScoreCenter.
The problem persists until I swipe it away from the multitasking menu. Here's a screenshot so you know what I'm taking about: http://imgur.com/c2tCF.jpg
Weird
Yeah that actually happened to me today. It's happened to every android phone I've ever owned. I'm not sure what causes it.
It doesn't occur often so it doesn't bother me much.
So i've beenn having this weird problem with youtube lately, every time i'm gonna open a video it force closes, and the tablet doesn't let me uninstall so i can reinstall, any idea?

I'm having the same problem on 4 different mobile devices (2 phones, 2 tablets) al of which were working fine yesterday.
The problem is obviously from youtube.
They are making horrible changes.
Subscriptions don't appear on the home page anymore. We are now forced to see what they choose to throw at us.
Very sad!
same here, then is not my tablet, hope they fix it
I see, i thought it was my tablet, it does look like they're doing changes for the worse :/
same to me.
I'm having this really weird issue with these two apps for a while. Basically I would keep getting connection error in the Play store or on Youtube every few minutes or so, then I would retry and everything would be back to normal. Odd thing is that I can have a browser open in a side window and go to google or any other website just fine while this issue happens. I'm not sure if there's more google apps affected. Hell one time it was so bad that Youtube refused to load for a good minute or so, I opened a pen window for the browser, loaded up the same youtube video in there and it started playing before the app even loaded it (kept giving me connection error).
I have Adblock Plus running in the background so I wonder if that's what's doing this..but it seems odd for it to affect these apps.
Any ideas to fix this?

I don't have Adblock but I have issues with YouTube App aswell. It works most of the time flawlessly but sometimes like you it seems to take to long to load so what I do is close the app fully then launch it again and it works fine, I also had another weird issue of whenever I played a video in full screen and changed the tablets orientation it would dim the brightness to 0% (even changing the screens brightness to 100% wouldn't cause the app to brighten up) and hoy a "small weird box with what looked like signal bars next to it", this hasn't happened the last few times I used the tablet but its just bizarre so deffo something is up with the App that's for sure.
Sometimes when I launch Super Hexagon, the game runs terribly slow. It feels like it's running at 15-20 FPS instead of 60 FPS. The weird part is that this lag persists after I exit the game. The whole system becomes super slow with choppy animations.
I've tried killing the app and even clearing the data, but the only thing that seems to fix this is a reboot. I can reproduce this behavior after rebooting again. It usually happens on the 2nd or 3rd time I launch the app, but sometimes it can take up to 10 times of closing and launching. Holding the tablet vertically seems to trigger it faster (although I'm not completely sure if it's related yet).
I'm running completely stock KOT49H and version 1.0.5 of Super Hexagon.
I haven't been able to reproduce this on my Nexus 4 or my old Nexus 7 (2012).
Can anyone else confirm that this happens on their Nexus 7 (2013)? I'm just wondering if it's a bug/compatibility issue or if it's a problem with my device
Just a quick update: Tried changing to ART with and flashing the latest franco kernel (just to experiment), and it still happens in the exact same way

I know this is a late response but I had the same thing happen to me twice tonight and I found your thread while googling for the issue myself.
Force closing the app doesn't help. It seems I have to reboot to fix it.
Have you by any chance figured out a fix? I'm running a 2013 n7 completely stock

Haven't found a fix yet
It's clearly a software issue though, either with the game or the latest N7 2013 build. Maybe someone who's more skilled could check the debug log (or something) to figure out the cause.
Hey
EDIT:
to fix this problem, open your favorite file explorer..
navigate through android/data/(superhexagon package file name)
go to settings.dat
change vsync from 1 to 0

I confirm, the only solution is to reboot... Very annoying if it happens while you break a record
Wow, I am astonished by Google. It has been over a year now and this problem STILL exists, I am having the exact same problem as described in the OP with several apps. How come this problem gets so little attention? Should be well known by now.
All those fancy design changes but who cares about actual system stability.
^What apps? I've never had this problem and this is my first time reading about it.
It's up to the app developer to keep their **** updated to work well with new versions of android. Nothing to do with google.

No way apps are supposed or even able to mess with the whole system like that and this bug doesn't happen on other devices like nexus 5 with the same apps so it's obviously just the device. I mean did you even read the thread you ignorant prick? The thread creator said too that he can't reproduce it with other devices such as Nexus 4 or Nexus 7 2012.
Does anyone else have this issue where some apps such as instagram, discord, or twitter not run in the background after clearing the recent apps screen? I have tried re-installing the apps, as well as setting their battery options to unrestricted, but to no avail. Because of this I am unable to receive any notifications from these apps. If anyone has experienced this and knows a fix I would really appreciate help.
i think i have the same issue,
received it yesterday
hopefully we get a global rom soon
The only workaround I have for this is to lock the apps that I want running in the recent apps screen. I don't like it because I have a habit of clearing my recent apps every now and then, but it will have to do for now.

The same thing happens to me. It does not happen to me with all the apps but I have verified that with several. for example the ExpressVPN app only works for me if I have the app open in "recent", if I close it the app stops working
messages app not working also, i had to install google messages and it's ok
Hi
Go to Device Shield APP /App management
change the setting in App auto Strat and background running.
I will start a new religion in your name. Ty my savior.
