Hey guys,
So one thing I've just noticed with my new G3, is that it doesn't seem to be remembering my default app preferences...
Like everytime I get sent a link and click on it, it asks me what browser to use (Chrome, Firefox or the Default Browser) I always check Chrome and set it to be the default browser, but it always happens again, with other apps as well. Not sure if it's just my ROM or if an app could be possibly doing it... But I've checked settings and have reset it all and it doesn't help.
Anyone have any ideas on how to deal with this?
Thanks guys!
The same here. And it was also happening with my Galaxy s4.never understood why.
I thought that problem would be gone with the g3 but some times it still happens.
I had a similar problem with my G3, in my case was the home button witch launcher would be the default, and discovered it was an app causing it, uninstalled all apps and then installed them one by one and found the culprit and once it was removed it was all OK. For me was a game called Jugs, it might be something different for you.

Hello,
I'm having a problem with my Twitter app. Every time I go into it, it's attempting to log in, and I'm unable to cancel the login attempt or do anything else other than leave the app via home button.
I can force it to close, or at least, my phone tells me so, but I when I restart it, it still attempts to log in.
Even after shutdowns and restarts this issue persists.
I have recently rooted my G2, however, this problem was occurring before the root anyways.
Does anyone know a possible way to fix this?
PS. I'm new to the whole smartphone thing and rooting scene (1st phone and 1st root) so, any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
EDIT: I've chosen to just delete the app via Titanium Backup. Reinstalled 1.0.5. Problem gone. So much for restoring stock 1.0.4.
Tweetdeck is way better any way to be honest

I had the same issue. Go into settings, accounts and sync, click on the twitter account, then remove the account. Go into applications menu under settings and click on twitter then force stop. You should be able to log in again after that. Haven't had any problems since.

My Nexus 7 2013 or FHD or whatever has been working great since day one. I was just now listing to some music, and put it on pause to speak with a co-worker. I just came back to my desk with the Nexus boot up logo showing. It took a very long time (3-5 minutes) for it to finish booting up.
After unlocking the tablet I'm greeted with "Google Play Services stopped working." Instead of loading NovaLauncher right away it it asks me if I want to launch the default launcher or NovaLauncher. Selecting Nova greets me with the default NovaLauncher layout--all of my icons and folders have been lost to the default. And I no longer have a PIN set or anything.
Poking around further it seems several other things have lost data. Swiftkey wants me to re-download the English layout and complete setup. All of the stock system apps want updates. And I keep getting pop ups saying Google Play Services has crashed.
What's really odd is when I want to bring this up on another forum someone else posted a very similar experience:
The Nexus 7 is great but my experience was short lived.
I don't know if it was a bad tablet or bad encryption but something seriously broke. I wanted to add my company email to my tablet and part of that process involves enabling encryption on my device. Everything was fine and running well, until I plugged it in for the night. At some point my Nexus rebooted and it was at the pre OS screen asking for encryption credentials. I thought that was weird but entered my info. It chugs along fine until it loads my lock screen where I immediately notice it no longer was asking for a PIN and my background changed back to the default. I go to my home screen and noticed my widgets weren't loading and I started getting error messages saying Currents and Play Store stopped responding. I try and access those apps but they go straight to a crash message.
I go ahead and factory reset it and when I tried to reapply the encryption it would go through the motions but it would never encrypt. I thought it was a bad reset and reset it again. Now it just hangs where it says Google and never boots up.
I ended up calling Google Support and I'm getting my Nexus replaced. Has anyone else experienced anything like this before?

I don't have encryption but I do have an exchange account added. There wasn't any remote wipe or anything. I haven't tried a factory reset yet but we'll see if I have the same issues the other person was having.
It's a little concerning to see someone else have almost the exact same thing happen. Makes me worried there's some defective memory out there. Has anyone else heard of this happening?
I've had some really strange experiences the last couple of days with my N7 as well. Bear with me as i try to explain.
I picked up my N7 after work yesterday and noticed the Fandango app had an update waiting. I tapped 'Update', and then went to check something in the Play app settings, and noticed the version was 4.2.9. When the Fandango app finished updating, i opened it up to check out some showtimes. After that i went back to the Play app, into the settings again, and noticed that the app version had been bumped up to 4.3.1. When i tapped the home button, the N7 locked up, and i couldn't do anything at all. I powered it down and attempted to reboot, but no luck. I could get as far as the boot animation, but no further, no matter how long i let it run, or how many times i attempted to reboot. The only thing that worked was to completely wipe everything via fastboot, reinstall 4.3, and start from scratch. I thought my problems were solved, as everything seemed to work fine once i got everything re-installed and configured again.
Until i came home from work today, that is.
Upon arriving home, i unlocked my N7 and was greeted by several dialog boxes indicating that both the stock calendar app and Currents had crashed. Neither app could be opened, as they'd immediately crash, and the stock launcher would also crash, even though i use Nova Launcher. I thought maybe uninstalling/reinstalling updates for Calendar, would help, but the Play Store would crash immediately and could not be launched. I went into settings>apps and tried uninstalling updates and clearing data for all three apps, but only the Play Store app seemed to benefit from this. Nothing seems to help Calendar or Currents. They won't sync or open, and i've also just noticed that the Gallery immediately force closes when i try to launch that, too. My Google Voice app, which i used last night with no problems whatsoever, had lost all its data and had to be reconfigured from scratch. I'm still going through the rest of my apps one at a time to see if there are problems with any of them, but so far all other Google apps are working properly.
I'm perplexed as to what the problem is. Software issue? Hardware issue? In any case, i'm calling Google Support to ask for a replacement, just to be safe. I'm hoping that the N7 i have now is just a lemon, and not indicative of more widespread problems.
I bought two, one works flawlessly (knock on wood) and the other one **** the bed after three days of use. I am returning it for a new one.

I'm all setup to return this one, and not a moment too soon as it's acting even wonkier now. DashClock force closes, and i'm finding some apps have had their data erased, while others are working normally. Hopefully the replacement works as it's supposed to, because i'll be really annoyed if i have to go through three or four tablets before i get one that works.
I just had almost the exact same issue, opened SoundHound premium and the nexus 7(2103) crashed.
After like 5mins it boots up, with my google account deleted (with it all my paid apps), all the google apps updates and google services crashing.
and above all extremely slow.
I'm now re-registering my account, to see if ir returns to normal.

Did you have an exchange account set up on the Nexus?
After this happened to me I wiped everything (I wanted to unlock the bootloader anyways) and things are going fine. If it happens again I'm going to exchange it.
Hello everyone!
I'm running Hyperdrive on my S3, and I'm struggling with Google Search and getting it to work properly. I haven't had this issue before on the S3 or my Note, so I'm a little lost. It came pre-installed with this app. It would open, run through the Google Now setup, and then when it went to the part where it listens to what you're saying, the screen would freeze and it would force close (eventually). I removed it and reinstalled it from the market.. Same thing. I have tried different APK files I found and nothing is working.
I have also noticed that when the app is installed, I have two different search applications, so I think it's running a duplicate app somewhere, but I can't find it.. I have "Google" which takes me to the search thing, and then I have "Voice Search" which takes me there as well, both force close if I open them.
Any ideas? Where are all the files for these located? I thought I completely removed it, but maybe I missed something and it's causing issues.
Thanks for the help!

Sounds like your google voice is messed up somehow, If you manually type something into google now, does it work? I would say to try and clear cache and data for google search and framework in settings>apps>under all tab. Reboot phone, if this doesn't work, try a full wipe-ROM reflash. For future reference this should have been posted in Q&A.
Has anyone experienced this before with the Facebook app? Something's throwing it for a loop! It only seemed to start with the latest app update. However, I am also using TeslaUnread with Nova Prime (I also use Pushbullet, but disabled the notification push for Facebook). Guess that's a place to start, disabling Tesla for Facebook and see where that takes me. The investigation continues, but I thought I'd post here to see if anyone else has seen this before with a similar config.

Use Greenify
Yep greenify
Thanks guys, will look into that.
Go into app settings in Facebook and disable sync and refresh time to never. That slows Facebook battery drain. Good luck

Yes, saw that one day. It was surprising just how bad it was. I uninstalled Facebook, reset, and reinstalled later. It's been fine since, but the problem may recur (I don't know why it happened in the first place).

I went ahead and set the app to never auto-refresh (looks like it doesn't affect the notifications, so that's good), since I don't need my news feed updating every hour when I can just do that when I go into the app. I've been just closing the app completely every time I'm done using it for the past few days, but I think I'll give it another go letting it run in the background, and see how it does. I did notice a couple other people mentioned bad Note 4 battery on the latest reviews in the Play Store.
For example, when clicking a link from an app, I select Chrome and tick the box, but it doesn't get saved. It asks me over and over again. Anyone else experiencing this?
I have this too unfortunately
Same here. Annoying but definitely not a deal breaker. Hope it gets patched anyways. Unless one of our genius xda devs can figure out a fix
I tried reinstalling every app that could handle the intents affected by this and it seems to have worked. E.g. I used Titanium Backup (I'm rooted) to uninstall Chrome then reinstalled it from the Play Store.
Same. Getting a little annoying now, but I'm sure it will be fixed in the Marshmallow update.
