For a while now, I am unable to save images in Chrome (no matter if regular, developer or beta. Even NoChromo displays the same behaviour). I cannot share images either, for example via Viber, but it works via FB Messenger. I rooted the phone 2 days ago and reinstalled everything, but the problem still persists! Strangely enough, some images do appear in the gallery after a while, some don't, but if I try to open it immediately in gallery, I get an exclamation mark logo, and google photos says "could not load image".
I am aware of at least two more guys with the same problem, so I'd like to know if there is more of us and if there is a fix (except downrgading to a really old chrome or an alternative browser, eg. LG stock browser does not have this issue).
Hi, you are not alone I faced this issue lg g4 recently following updates to the google chrome browser. It used to work fine but after the updates I have the exact same issue as you with the images. The way I fixed this is I go to google play store and go to the chrome browser. Click uninstall and it will remove all the updates. Following this I have also turned off auto updates for this app. Now I am using it fine with the stock version.
I didn't know it could be fixed. I'd prefer to have the latest Chrome browser though. I just download the image and then share through Quickpic or any other gallery app.

well, I did say "except downrgading to a really old chrome". I tried that already, but really, that's a no go for me.

does quickpic see the image immediately after downloading it?

Yep instantly. Tested it four times and it works for all websites.
If you don't currently have quickpic, then download the version 4.5.2 apk as their latest has bloat and junk since they were bought by a company.
thx!
Still, too bad that there is no proper fix for newer Chrome. Now, when I want to just share some goofy pic in Viber, I have to download it, open QuickPic, share photo and then delete it... It's a drag!
Guys! Same for me. I download the file, but it seems that there is a problem when file is saved. I tap the notification and stock gallery/album app give me a black screen with an "!" mark. If i choose to download the file again, Chrome says the file already exist... random bug.
Doesn't bother me that much since I don't save a lot of pics from the Internet, but it's still a pain.
I have the same issue but with stock file manager i can see and share them...

I did some googling but nothing came up. Sometimes I get this kind of message in my notification bar (see attachment). It has the same icon as Updating/downloading. But I'm pretty sure that's not the case. If I tap on that message, it will open the default browser and take me to a site.
I have tried Airpush detector & Zone anti-virus but nothing came up. Does anybody have any idea how this thing got on my phone? Also is there a way to prevent this from happening?
Thanks bunch!!! =)
What ROM are you using?
Thanks for the quick reply. FYI I'm using stock at the moment. =)
So it looks like something is being downloaded from your browser every time you open it, check Chrome (if installed), and the stock browser, and close all of the tabs you have open, then clear your history and cache files, and see if that will help.
Did you check the running apps list when that comes up?

It might not have anything to do with the browser. It just directs him through the browser. It is probably an app.
Thanks for the advise! Here is the list of apps running at the time:
Settings
WhatsApp
Dropbox
Birzzle
ScoreMobile
GO SMS Pro
Facebook
Widgetsoid
Zedge
Google Services
Media
Maps
Android keyboard
Post the services that are running too.

Birzzle looks suspicious. It's just a game but why does it need a permission to start at boot? Try uninstalling that and see if your problem persists.

Well, don't only check the apps that are running, always check cached processes.
Force stop every app you don't need at the moment and then check if the problem persists, if yes, reboot the phone, if it still downloads this, check your running apps, and see if there is an app, that was there, when you closed the other processes, open the browser, and clear cache of websites, cookies etc., if neccessary, re-flash stock ROM, but the last option is worst-case...
So since I got the 4.1.2 update on my Optimus G (Bell) anytime i click a youtube link it wont load the app anymore. It loads it in a browser and plays in the tiny window. It used to work seamlessly before, and now I can't figure out how to get it working again. Any ideas?

You should try going to settings->apps->all->The browser in question->Clear defaults. You'll get up all those choose default app boxes again, but maybe this will let you choose?
Btw, I've noticed that youtu.be links seem to always open in my browser (maxthon).
yeah ive tried that both with youtube and the browser. when i click a youtube link it gives me the options of loading it in browser or chrome, but the youtube app isnt on that list.
You could try "Redirect for youtu.be" on the play store, app description also gives an idea what your problem is. It seems to be helping for me!

Edit: Just tried opening a youtube link, got up the choices of "internet or redirect", seems to have fixed my problem
My T-Mobile G3 refuses to allow me to select a default browser or gallery. So for example, when following a link in an email, I'm always presented with the browser selection dialog even though I've selected Chrome as my default browser. My selection is never recorded in the default apps. I've tried several browsers just in case Chrome was the culprit, to no avail. Similarly, when trying to open a recently taken photograph directly from the camera, I'm always prompted to choose which gallery app to open.
The only defaults my G3 seems to retain are for messaging, camera, and home.
My device is non-rooted, and running the stock firmware.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, as this is quite the annoyance and extensive Googling is failing me.

Try to uninstall your extra browsers (and galleries) and open a link in an email. It should then open the stock browser as it's the only one installed, and set it as default. Then reinstall the browser you want, and do it again. Maybe the default app feature will then work as expected.

Already tried that, actually. No success. Very unfortunate and annoying bug, this is.
Hi there.
Has anyone have a problem with system constantly asking which app to use to open a video? Lets say I'm clicking a youtube link in the browser and it's asking me whether to use a browser or mxpayer or youtube to open it. Every single time I want youtube app to deal with it by default but it keeps asking.
The same thing with opening links, it asks to choose the default from browser, tapatalk or tapatalk based app. Even when the default action and app is always selected it doesn't remember it. Any ideas how to fix it? I have D855, UK Three branded, still running 10a soft, rooted.

Still no answer? I'm interested in this as well.
Just flashed Santod's GPE ROM 5.0.1
SMS and Phone works fine. FB Messenger works fine.
What hasn't been working for me seems random:
- On Twitter the tweets will load but none of the images. Neither avatars nor attached photos in Twitter load.
- Bacon Reader, my reddit app, will either crash upon load or crash when I open a post to view comments
- Spotify crashes instantly on load up. I just get a report or close option when it crashes
- Snapchat opens but videos will neither play nor record. When I try to record it says "Failed to record"
I've only had this ROM for a little over a day so that's all I'm aware of for now. Any insight into why this is happening would be much appreciated. :good:
Keep in mind, not all apps have been updated for L compatibility yet.
My friend has the same apps on his stock lollipop and they run fine.

Gpe is not the same as your everyday aosp like nexus devices get. Because of that different issues can occur in this that don't affect aosp.

Twitter, Snapchat, and Spotify,all work for me just fine.
Only app I haven't tried is the reddit one you mentioned.
I did see someone having similar Snapchat issues on another lollipop ROM, until they formatted their storage, fwiw.
So I would say your issues are local to your device and not the ROM.
I'm not sure how to format. Whats FWIW?
Edit: looked it up...

Did the format fix your problem? I have the same issues, snapchat being my biggest problem. Along with reddit news and instagram crashing, titanium backup won't load either. In ES file explorer all my folders show up as empty but when I plug in to my PC everything is there. Also if the format did work could you help me out with doing that? I have nothing worth saving on the phone memory so I'm not worrying about losing anything. Thanks guys!
Edit: Figured it out all I needed was a format. Sorry should have tried it first.
