My documents app cannot be disabled in 7.0 - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Howdy!
After my recent update to Android Nougat, the downloads app cannot be disabled and is stuck in my app drawer!
What is even more weird is that when I long press and drag it up to 'App Info' to disable it, it comes up as Documents! WHAAAAAAT? I know right, super weird.
What I have done:
Enabled Downloads, cleared it all and disabled it. - Nothing
Enabled Documents, cleared it all and attempted to disable it. - Nothing
I'm at a loss, anyone else have this issue? Any ideas on how to fix this "bug".
Thanks!

[Q] Unable to install 3rd party apps

I get no action when I press the install button, though the cancel button works. I have the allow unknown sources box checked in settings. I cannot install using either ES File Explorer, or the stock My Files application.
I have also done a battery pull, and cleared cache in recovery.
Anyone have any idea how to correct this?
I'm having the same problem.
Is there a solution to this?
I'm now on 5.1.1
did u make sure unknown sources has a check mark under the developer option?
OMG!
Problem solved.
eyesofice- yes it was checked.
What I got was the option to "cancel" or "install" but the install button would not worked. It turns out it was due to running Lux (an auto brightness app). Turning it off let me use the "Install" button. I found a mention that programs that use screen filters like Lux will disable side loading because malicious apps could spoof the user into clicking on what looks like a harmless button but really it installs another app instead.
Hope this helps someone else
good to hear glad you solved it.
I use twilight myself and I have noticed that if you are on Lollipop that you will have this problem. So far I have noticed it on 5.0.1 and 5.1.1. In fact I believe that twilight itself had a pop up message I dictating that with Lollipop this was a known issue.

WiFi notification setting broke after 5.1.1 update

I am always aware when I'm connected to WiFi so I've had the setting in WiFi settings for notifications when connected or nearby WiFi turned off. But when I did the 5.1.1 update it seems to be showing the persistent notification again. When I went into the settings the box is still unchecked and when I toggle it is does nothing at all. Has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it? Any information would be appreciated.
Things I've already tried 1) restart phone both with it checked and unchecked 2) factory reset phone 3) force stopped notification
The pesky noticed can not be removed as far as I know.

That's weird. It was on 5.0.1
Looks like a bug...
in order to get rid of the notification (i know how to do this cause of the same exact bug on the S4 a few years back)
1. Settings
2. Applications
3. Application Manager
4. Swipe to all
5. Tap on android system
6. Tap on force stop.
That should get rid of the notification.
Not worth the hastle everytime the wifi is turned on!

Just wanted to update everyone who might have the same problem. It seems like they fixed this in another security update Verizon pushed out recently. I am now on Build Number LMY47X.N910VVRU2BPA1. I'm glad they addressed this because it was really annoying.

At a glance widget

Hey everyone! Is anybody experiencing issues with the "at a glance" widget? It only shows the day, date and month. No weather update though... I can get it working by clearing all data of the Google app, or uninstall updates of it through settings and the play store, but after maximum of a few hours the weather updates disappear again... In the feed settings the weather updates are switched on but I can't even switch it on. I turn it on, tap on the finished button on the top and does nothing... Any idea? I'm on latest PIE, Magisk and stock kernel.
I have no issues here. Have you tried clearing the settings?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think it's something to do with the Google app as I clean chache and storage, the weather update comes back and shows the current weather. Than it seems when it wants to update it, it just disappear and never comes back until I clear all data of the Google app again... Anyway, I'm not too bothered, just thought I was doing something wrong. Maybe with the next update it will come back...

Few issues after update

Hi all
I have updated to Android 10 two days ago, and this was a bad idea to hit that update button.
First of all - I can save files to Downloads folder only by using build in miui browser, all other browsers (i checked Chrome, Brave, MS Edge) can save files to /Android/data/<package_name>, and Brave browser even can't save files, because it shows message, that "SD card storage is unavailable". It looks like third party browsers don't have access to storage, but after installing them I have granted access to memory.
Second thing is - because of problem with saving, I tried to factory reset, and after that reset many of apps was changed to worse: home screen had option to change from "standard" to "app drawer mode" but now it's only "app drawer mode" and there is no switch of this, and there is a switch for standard mode that turns on "search by swipe up" and it's turned on, but nothing is happening because of app drawer. Build in browser before reset had new "dark mode" and now it's gone. And also first issue is still in place.
Need to mention, that It's Global version, with locked bootloader - so it's not problem with any root or modifications of system.
Do any one have same issues? Or some solution for this?
Because first issue with saving from browser is for me not acceptable, and I need to fix it somehow.

Anyone else having issues with newly installed apps bypassing the Do Not Disturb mode?

Ive noticed that certain apps were still leaking past the do not disturb mode, even though they are not in my exceptions list. Then, I noticed these were apps that were specifically newly installed/re-installed. For example, I had to uninstall Instagram and re-install it. Before this process, the notifications were being blocked properly, but now that its newly re-installed, I am now getting their unwanted notifications.
Another example of an app bypassing the exception list is a fantasy football app called Sleeper. I hadnt had it installed on my phone prior to do not disturb being enabled. Once it installed, I started getting multiple notifications, even though i didnt add it to my exceptions list?
I am going to try to restart and see if that helps, but does anyone else have any tips?
Turning off DND, restarting the phone and then turning DND back on did NOT fix it.
I just take out the trash instead of playing with it
Try clearing system cache.
Otherwise likely a settings issue.
There's no fixing a trashware though...
