[Q] Kindle App Freezing + N64oid Performance

Has anyone else had issues with the Kindle App on the Galaxy Nexus? It will open a few times, but finally freezes while attempting to start. When I reinstall or restart, it will start fine, but that's not really a viable option.
Also, I've been trying out n64oid, and the performance isn't really usable, which is odd, cause it runs on slower phones just fine. What are the chances of an update, and has anyone else experienced this?

n64oid works great for me.. been playing paper mario very well.

Hmm. I went back and tried some of my other roms, and they are working fine. Might just be Re-Volt and Goldeneye. I'll try redownloading them to see if its just the rom, but they might just be buggy.
Still looking to see if anyone else has had the kindle issue.

I've had the Kindle app lock up a few times on ITL41F stock and stock/rooted rom, you can tell right away as it goes black instead of loading the splash-screen, killing the process and then restarting works reliably, it seems to lock up more frequently if you leave a book/ newspaper/ magazine open in the app and then switch to another app.

+1 for Kindle freezing. Annoying but don't forget we are early adopters of ICS and as such a lot of apps will not function correctly for quite some time.

My app still shows the splash screen, but doesn't go any further. (The guy reading the book under the tree)

in fact it ain't only you GNexus users
it used to regularly freeze up my Atrix; or slow it down all the time
No idea how or why thats happening......haven't tried the kindel app on my mum's G2 or any other phone yet

Kindle not working for wife and I either
We both got Verizon GNexus and I think we are going to try contacting Amazon to let them know something's up. We'll inform them of the dedicated thread on XDA if it helps.

Awesome. Hopefully they can sort this out quickly , since the google books apps is lackluster. We really need a known issues thread on here, with updates on how close we are to a fix.

+1 on Kindle issue.
Sometimes opens successfully.
Sometimes freezes on splash screen.
Can't go from Kindle to another app then back to Kindle (multitask), just get black screen.
Have to force-close Kindle to get it working again.
I use the Kindle app daily so I hope they can work it out fast.

+1 on Kindle freezing. I can't find a rhyme or reason for it. When it's frozen I don't even see a running process for it. I have to reboot to fix. very annoying.

Update on my end after getting a GNexus:
Kindle is now very very smooth! No reboots or abnormal freezing like on my Atrix.
GPU forced acceleration is forced on in my dev settings

Still having problems on Gnex LTEs
Kindle app starts up but eventually will freeze and require forced shutdown after navigating away/minimizing it and then returning. No new version released, so either we are a limited number of users and Amazon doesn't need to address it yet, or something is wrong with our setup and we are a minority amongst 4.0.2 users.

[Q] HOX Loosing the plot?

Hi all, heres the story:
At first, I thought I was loosing my mind, I kept checking my phone and the WiFi was always off, which is weird for me.
Anyway I turn it back on and go about my day, check half an hour later its off.
I was like "im sure I turned that back on" anyway same again half an hour later.
So I was watching it this dinner, and low and behold I watch both my WiFi and my network connections restart themselves like someone was switching them on and off, but the WiFi didn't re-connect and stayed off, wereas data re-connected ok.
It goes on ! I then realised that my phone was calling people by itself, which is also weird as theres no buttons to accidently press to call people? (ITS TOUCHSCREEN!!!)
Anyway, today I recieved a text off someone asking me why the heck I'd just sent them map co-ordinates.
So someone or my phone is sending people map co-ordinates....
The ONLY thing I can think of is Cerberus, could Cerberus be causing this?
Is this the phone telling me its on its way out?
Any solutions?
THANKS ALL !

You have kind of answered your own question. Just uninstall Cerberus and see if it fixes it.

Yay yet another completely useless response thanks but I said could it be Cerberus?
Does any1 else have a suggestion I could gain something from?
As stated before, I will try removing Cerberus but would like any information or suggestions please.

Malware? Maybe you installed an app that's malicious.
Hickory, Dickory, Dox...Snowflake approves of my HOX....

try and remember what apps you installed around the time this started to happen and work your way backwards

Thanks for all your reponses, thats the thing I'm really picky over apps, and havent really installed an app for months on my HOX, as I generally do everything on my N7 now.
UPDATE:
I un-installed Cerberus, cleared cache and tried to find any left behind data(wasnt any?)
Also deleted my device off the Cerberus app website
LOW AND BEHOLD THIS MORNING CONNECTIONS TURN OFF AND ON?!?!?!
What can be doing this? I only have apps from trusted Vendors such as Natwest, Vodaphone, couple of games, Tasker etc :/
Any ideas?

Can it be Tasker? It's supposed to automate tasks. Maybe there are some causing all this. Try freezing it.

I also thought it could be tasker, but Tasker has been setup for months and months, and not changed for atleast 2/3 months+
I checked tasker, and theres only 3 profiles, which have nothing to do with any connections.
They're profiles such as, plug headphones in and music player appears.
PS - Cannot freeze, stock and un-rooted.

My mate had similar issues with his SGS2. Upon examining the phone I discovered an app called Blackmart Alpha, I discovered it was a program which downloads cracked/patched apps. Did a hard reset of the phone and all was fixed, well not all, he was very pi$$ed with me for losing a heap of apps.

I know where your coming from mate, but this is not me.
I enjoy supporting the developers that make apps, and if that means buying a paid version of an app then so be it.
I don't download any dodgey things, all my downloads are through the play store.
Bah this is pickling me
Latest thing I downloaded was quadrant benchmark (week ago?)

Try hard reset then load your apps one at a time you will soon discover the culprit.

OnePlus 5t Issues (Day 90)

So, I use my op5t as my primary device.
I test my applications on it(Android developer), i listen to songs and i do all the normal things on my phone, Nothing abnormal like intensive gaming/ using it while charging or anything.
From last 1/1.5 weeks my phone is over heating it goes above 41C(CPU-Z readings) while doing normal things like listening to songs on wynk(It runs in the background), using whatsapp and instagram only. I don't use snapchat that often or any camera app (barely 15 minutes in 24 hours);
So i thought its getting warm in bangalore, It maybe because of it.
But 41C isn't normal for such a less use and that too not even in the direct sun.
And from last 3 days as i test/debug my applications on my device, The developer option should be enabled, and it was enabled from day 1 i got my phone.
Now while testing apps, My developer options suddenly gets disabled by itself(No module in app is playing with the system settings at any point), and now this is happening like 2-3 times a day in the time span of 5 hours of testing applications.
I Always make sure after debugging my applications that i restart my phone to free ram/ uninstall the app i was testing, clear the cache, stop background applications, stop applications that are using mobile data in the background.
Any suggestions on the overheating and developer options being disabled by itself?
I've posted the problem about the developer options on oneplus community but i would like to get more advices on if its a bug or just my usage is more than i actually think it is.
Thank you~ :good:

Perhaps a factory reset!/flash stock firmware, I always say this but if problems persist after this then you really have a problem

Agreed but it could solve the problem, it could not, you don't know the cause, going back to out the box stock is a good start

get to stock|factory reset
had an issues with overheating in test by antutu(in net mentioned that there is no no overheating problems)
after a reset 33celcius
try it out

I'm not at all a fan of "factory reset".
It's much better to do a full wipe (fastboot format userdata).
And then do a stock ROM install (or whatever ROM you want).
If you've experienced corruption somewhere in the system files, then a factory reset may not fix that.

I fixed it. In my Moto x style I fixed this problem by letting the phone to at the highest it can and it fixes it self.
For my Op5t it never went to 45. It went to 45 and now even if I charge it or do the same tasks when I used to do when it got really hot, it's barely 33 now.?*?*?*

So I had a Moto x style and it went hot, really hot. And I was fed up because of it as I thought it's a malfunction in the phone and something's wrong. So I used to be scared that if went to hot it will catch fire or smthng. So I just one day let it go as warm as it can and it went to 45-46 and came back to 35 again and after that it's just normal temperature.
Same with my OnePlus5t. I listen to songs+charge it. So it goes really hot as it shouldn't because I'm not doing any big tasks. So one day I just left it on charging with music on. It went to 42 and it came back to 35. Now while listening to songs and charging my op barely goes to 35.
I don't know if it's a good.fix or.not but it always works for me. I've tied this on my friends Moto x play too just 1 day ago and it worked like magic

Pixel 3 XL navigation no longer working

This just happened to my phone for whatever reason. The bottom portion of my screen (where navigation is located) will not work any longer. I know the touchscreen is still working, because i can scroll down a website and it still will recognize touch but not if I am trying to use the navigation buttons. I have tried gesture, 2/3 button but none of them work. I even flash a stock image (didn't do a full wipe just unrooted it) to see if this would fix. If anyone has a fix for this please let me know.
Thanks!

It's very annoying. I figured something happened with my root, but i unrooted and problem still persists. Basically unusable as i have to go back through apps instead of going home .

Yep having the same issue. The dock icons aren't always working, but the screen does because I can still scroll everywhere.

I also noticed that not all of my screen is being used. I black bar bezels on the sides of my screen. Looks like a full reset is inbound when I get home.

Ok, i was on plays services 19.4.20 and updated to the beta and now this is fixed!
Here is the beta version from apk mirror: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-19-5-28-release/google-play-services-19-5-28-120400-273329419-android-apk-download/
you can install this app to quickly check your version. it used to link right to apk mirror but they took the functionality out unfortunately: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weberdo.apps.serviceinfo
whew - glad that was an easy fix! hopefully it doesn't auto-update and break it again or something.

This has been going on with me since a mid september update. JUNK PHONE this pixel 3!!! First phone by google that I really hate. Contacted google about that, they asked me to clear all cache from the UI, play, etc... I still have the same issue...
I have stock, no root.

Uresponsive black screen after updating to Android 10

After updating to 10, a few times a day my phone becomes completely unresponsive. Since the screen is off, I'm not even sure if the phone is powering off. I've flashed the factory image to see if starting clean would fix it, but that didn't work. Anybody else experiencing this?

No, but you may be installing an app that is causing it. Try replicating the issue in safe mode. Ruling that out, if you have done a clean install using the full image (not ota) and allowed it to wipe your data there is not much more to do before contacting Google. A clean install restores your phone to its "out of the box" state. If the problem persists, it is likely hardware related. You can try a factory reset from the stock recovery... that is the first thing they will insist you do before processing an RMA.

I didn't have the issue on Pie and haven't installed any additional apps. It mainly happens after I haven't used the device for a while. It feels like it won't wake up so I have to hold the power button to force a reboot.

Yes.
I was just peaking to a buddy with a 2xl and he is having the same issue since 10.

I have an issue where after about two day of it being on it will start to stutter, and then after a couple hours it reboots itself. It's done it since 10 was released. Never had an issue on 9. Now I proactively reboot it once I notice the stuttering. Kind of sucks since 9 was super stable for me. No new apps, and no settings were changed. Just updated to 10, and it started. Kind of like memory is leaking causing it to stutter/freeze, but the last patch they said they fixed the leak. Guess not.

I just had a random reboot while taking my dog for a walk. Was only listening to SiriusXM. Think I'm going back to Pie until Google gets the kinks ironed out on 10.

https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/14074635?hl=en

Booted into safe mode last night and had to force a reboot this morning to get the screen to respond. This is definitely an issue with 10 and not an app. I'm going back to Pie since having my phone turn off every night is unacceptable, especially since my phone is my alarm clock.

I took the OTA before setting up my new P3XL on A10 and don't have any issues. You might try wiping data then restore apps without data.

I flashed the A10 Oct factory image and wiped data. Still have the issue. The only thing that fixes it is going back to Pie.

So this happened to me twice now since being on 10. My screen would go black while using the phone, and then the phone would be unresponsive, so I would need to force a reboot, but after the Google splash screen it goes into recovery, and this message shows "Could not load Android OS. You can try again, or factory reset.". I did "Try again" both times, and it booted fine. Really irks me since I can't afford to do a factory reset since I use a lot of apps that have special info in them (Like Google Auth App that has many devices I need, and resetting I would have to redo every device). I hope Google can fix these issues with the next update.

I think my issue is due to the sensor bug that was introduced in 10. I have disabled the sensors on my phone and it hasn't froze since!! Hopefully Google fixes on the Nov update.

I'm having the issue that after my screen turns off, after a certain amount of time, I cannot get it to turn back on. The phone is still on, but is unresponsive to my input. I have to hard reset.
I have tried reflashing, and tried disabling sensors. I did not have an issue with the 10 September updated, but since updating to the November update, I had the issue non-stop all day.
Platform-Tools fully updated, not using gesture navigation, but the 2-button.

@MeetFace, yes! Same here since the November update. Something isn't right.

I'm still dealing with the black screen issue. Nov update didn't fix it.
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/143288447

Update, I read in a thread somewhere that disabling darkmode fixed it for one person (rando I know).
I created a tasker script that disables darkmode once the screen shuts off, and enables it when it turns back on. So far, no BSOD this morning (4 hrs)
FWIW
