Why does the app store stop working sometimes? - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Every once in a while on my non rooted 2nd get box the app store will change completely to a grid layout and it will not allow me to download any new apps and most of the amazon apps do not work like netflix. I end up having to do a full system restore everytime this happens. Is there a better way to fix this?

Google Play Issues..says apps are not compatible. Like facebook

JB Market not showing me all my installed apps and not showing other app eligible for download or don’t pull up when searching market. Like facebook
Anyone?
Did you change the screen DPI or are using a MOD with a smaller Navbar?
Normally run 260..But I set it back to 320 every now and than to check for updates. and even at 320 apps dont show.Even after rebooting and clearing the Goodgle Play data and cache. No nav mods.. I was running JellyBelly 3.7. I love the JB roms but hate side loading apks to get the apps I want
When I first setup the rom (320dpi) apps show on the market..And after a few days my Installed apps in google play count gets lower and lower (260dpi). Which is fine ,if when i went back to 320 those apps would come back and if i could download apps they were not compatiable at 260 at 320...Wish LCD Modder Pro would get updated then I'd be fine.

Settings for Tablet Mode for Apps

So I am able to change DPI and screen resolutions for apps but there are many apps that I cannot get into tablet mode. So far I can only get gmail and my settings. I tried many different DPI's and resolutions for contacts, youtube.... is there a list of apps anywhere that this can be done or am I missing something completely? Such as downloading the tablet version or are my settings just wrong?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In the Xposed app settings, there is an option for Screen (dp). Usually setting it to higher resolution will make the app switch to tablet mode (800x1280 usually). For some app, you need to set the dpi of Play Store, forced stop, clear data and then install the app again to get the tablet version. I did this to get the tablet layout of Flipboard.

[Q] Some app shortcuts removed from home screens after APP update

Hi Folks
Sometimes when some apps update from the play store their shortcuts disappear from the home screens (if I have paced one there), the app itself will still be present and correct in the app drawer, but there are empty spaces on the home screen where their shortcut was before the app was updated.
Their seems to be no rhyme or reason to when or which apps have there shortcuts removed. Some will go several updates with no change then suddenly they're gone, others do it every time they update and some never do it.
Is there a reason for this behavior? Is there a way to prevent it or at least understand when it will happen?
Sometimes I don't realise the shortcut is missing until sometime after several app updates and then I'm flicking through my home-screens and there is a blank where there shouldn't be and I'm wondering what app I had there...
This is with a stock HOX with the most recent android/sense.
Thanks
As far as I know it should not remove the icons from the Home screen if the app is just updating. It's possible some update actually remove the original application and install the new update such cases it may remove the shortcut from the Home screen since there is an uninstall process happening after the installation.

Google Now Launcher Issue

I'm on OOS 5.0.1 with an unlocked bootloader and un-rooted. Lately I've been having issues with the Google Now Launcher where it would "blink" like it does when the app is updated and from time to time my app drawer would be empty except for the Google app (see screenshot).
Last night I found that the launcher was completely gone and the phone had defaulted to the OnePlus launcher. I went to the play store to try to reinstall it but could not find it. I then went to the play store on my desktop and searched for the launcher and it was available. I tried installing it from the desktop but nothing happened on my phone. Any ideas on whats going on?

Fullscreen ad after opening lockscreen

After the Pie update, I've been seeing full screen ads appear on my screen after I unlock my phone. It usually happens after a certain period of time. Any suggestions on how to find out what causes this?
Also, is it possible that Pie update installed some new app that gives me these ads?
PS. I myself haven't installed any new apps after updating.
Definitely some app you got installed.
