On my wife 5Z its really hard to unistall a app, sometimes she have to press it 20 times or somthing, before the box stays open, so she can press "uninstall".
Anyone in here having the same problem? Or even better, have a solution.
Just to say, we both know how to press the apps for letting the box stay open, but in around 3 weeks now, it dont works for her.
Its frustrating.
Happy new year, to all of you [emoji1305]
That's true. I have the same issue. This device is really good but Asus needs to fix things ASAP

I have a problem where, I am in a conversation in Whatsapp, and i am done writing a message, and then i lock the screen, and when i unlock it maybe 15 seconds later, i type, but nothing is showing up, its just records what i press but doesn't type. I have to go the the main screen, and reopen Whatsapp to get it working again...
Anyone else notice this?
Its really annoying if you are in an intense conversation and have to act fast
ROM: Codename Android 1.5.5
Kernel: FrancoKernel Milestone 2
I have wiped everything 1000x times and reinstalled everything. Found some people who had the same issue, but no one found a solution.
Thanks XDA,

Happens sometimes to me too and I am rooted on stock. Pretty sure it has nothing to do with us and everything to do with whatsapp having an ICS bug.

Whatsapp used to have exact same problem on my Nokia 5800XM too, I think it happens because of Whatsapp.
confirmed this happening occasionally on LG optimus one.
therefore, it is definitely because of the whatsapp app itself
usually i just press back button for once, back to conversation list and go back to my conversation. typing works back so you dont need to go homescreen thats two steps back
Confirmed bug for me too
Galaxy Nexus GSM
AOKP M4
Franco M2
To everyone who replied, thank you! Makes my life easier knowing its not ROM/Kernel etc...
Filed a complain to Whatsapp, such a great app apart from this bug!

I usually press home button and then my Whatsapp icon on my main screen, usually goes fast, but still... rather annoying
How deep would this 'error' lie? Could devs fix it?
I get this exact same problem with Handcent! Currently using Swype, and like 30% of the time I will have to go back to the conversation list and re-select my conversation to start typing again.

Quick question, is everyone using NovaLauncher too? It sometimes happen with normal SMS as well. But 95% of the time it is Whatsapp

I am also using Nova, but I'm not sure why that would affect other apps like this.
Any solution to this problem?
Got the very same at my galaxy s6, too. Android 5.1.1
I'd also like to know if there's any workarounds for this. My wife's having the issue and she's blaming me. :silly:
I may have a workaround. I have the galaxy note 3 and i use a custom rom thats pretty much close to stock and I notice that if I lock the device and unlock shortly after, I can't type anywhere, on kik, what'sapp, gosms pro, even google search. So I've just decided to test things out and see what's going on and here is what I found....
Eventually I can type again if I simply wait, but no one likes to wait but this is the longest solution.
Clearing the RAM using built in cleaner or 3rd party memory cleaner seems to allow me to type again.
I didnt like playing the guessing game in knowing how long to wait before I can type again so in kik or go sms pro, I would type one of the native apps' emoticon and then hold the backspace button down until it erases it...then I knew it was ready to let me type again (I have haptic feedback on for keyboard presses so I can look away as I hold down the backspace button - this would let me know when it eventually erased due to the haptic feedback of the smiley getting deleted).
Since the issue occurred only after unlocking, I tried turning off the lock screen completely and turning off phone and back on again....keyboard types right away with no issues!
Its more secure to have a lock screen on the phone so turning off lock screen isn't the best option unless you're like me and are the only person at home with no worries of someone else taking your phone so I decided to try something else that seemed to solve the issue, and that is..............turning off "Multiple Widgets" in lock screen.....tested and worked! I can totally type again right away after unlocking the lockscreen shortly after locking it.
This is what worked for me and for you developers out there....if you can use this to pinpoint why this happens on android, perhaps you can use this information to rectify it.
Hope I helped!!!
Is there anyway to disable magazines and s finder? I really don't use them and it's really annoying to accidentally swipe up or accidentally hold the menu button. I'd rather not root just because of the knox issue. I really depend on this thing for school work and don't want to run the risk of bricking it or anything.

I don't know of a way to turn the whole app off yet but if you open up MyMagazine and hit Menu button > settings > open using the home key > and uncheck.
about S-Finder no idea mate.
I didn't know about the setting mentioned above, but I just rooted my tablet and froze both S-Finder and MyMagazine with Titanium Backup. I don't use those apps anyway and MyMagazine was annoying the [email protected] out of me.

Have you noticed a significant improvement in performance since doing this? I'm really tempted to root, because the sluggishness of this tablet (god I hate admitting this) is becoming increasingly annoying and apparent. I wish we could get rid of it all together.

I did this about 10 minutes after taking my tablet out of the box, so I really can't compare it now to how it was before. The magazine thing was bugging me right out of the box though.
I don't notice any of this so-called "lag" that everyone complains about. To me, this tablet is super fast and smooth. So either I just don't know what this "lag" is, or what I did actually helped (I froze Knox and a bunch of other stuff, so maybe something did help?).
BTW: I should note too that my previous tablet was a single-core Tegra CPU. After the OS was officially upgraded to Android 4.0.3, REAL lag was a part of everyday use for me (it took about a second to switch between home screens!). So after coming to this quad-core CPU, any lag is most likely not seen by me. Everything seems super fast. So basically, I may not see lag simply due to my experiences with a true laggy tablet.
Sorry I can't be of much help.

Really annoying is the NY Times app. It's not free after the trial, i'm German, i don't need it, but i can only disable it. Already disabled, it produced a notification, so i had to disable these also.
FWIW, I'm rooted and the first thing I did was install Titanium and froze:
All Knox files (obvious reasons)
S-Finder (having it pop up every time I hit the menu key for too long was driving me insane)
Gallery. Sucks up battery and the device actually got hot. Soon's I froze it problem went away.
Index service. A real disaster ! Ditto the above. Between this crap and Gallery the battery actually started to swell.
My Magazine and other useless apps, live wallpapers, screen saver, Yahoo finance. (broke anyway!) Search around the forum and you'll find what else you can freeze.
I use the NY Times app, but I went into the settings and disabled all notifications, as I do with most apps anyway. No more crap now!
Oh, yeah, one more. I had Nova Launcher and got fed up with the crashes and lockups it was causing on a more and more frequent basis on more than one device. I switched to KK Launcher and took care of that. I don't think Nova like Samsungs much-had the same with a Note 8.
Hope this helps!

Disable S finder
I got my phone damp, and now the annoying S Finder pops up NON STOP. I'm talking every couple seconds. Everything else works fine....but I have to end what I'm doing every couple of seconds because that stupid app pops up and I can't get it to leave. I need help

I have the SAME PROBLEM. S finder will NOT quit popping up unless I have my stylus out & it's touching the screen it's driving me NUTS. did you get yours fixed. I was using my phone on an important call in the rain & it's started & hasn't stopped. I'm going to go crazy. I'm rooted and don't want to go through the trouble of un-rooting to use my warranty but dang
I froze S Finder Via Rom Toolbox Pro & left my Note 3 in some rice for a couple days & it's been fine since
Does anyone's S6 edge have this problem where you are typing a text, at least 10 words long or more, and the screen don't recognize touch input just once, but it happens every 15 to 20 words? Its freaking annoying and I've since switched to the google keyboard and this problem don't happen as much, but the problem is still there, its caused me to misspell at least 7 words so far that the keyboard has auto corrected. This is so damn annoying and I hope I'm the only one that has this problem that way I can take this phone back and get it replaced.
I guess I'm the only one
Happens to me sometimes, but not all the time. It's probably a RAM problem. I usually clean/close some opened apps with Cleanmaster to prevent lag. Hope the next update will fix memory management problem.
I'm on Android 5.1.1 and it supposedly has fixed the RAM issue and the problem still exists. I don't think it's a RAM issue. I think it's a software issue that when you type too fast it stops recognizing the presses. Hapes mainly with the backspace key. If I tap that button like 20 times it will stop pressing it no matter how hard I press.
I want to say this is a Edge thing not a S6 thing.
Try a different keyboard from play store, also try closing apps in background.
I haven't noticed the ever on this incredible phone.
Running stock no root yet, with 3 pages of apps disabled.

I apologize for resurrecting this thread but, I've been searching for a while with no avail. Since I've upgraded to 5.1.1 I've been experiencing this issue. Has anyone in the time of this thread found a possible fix for this?
I've tried multiple things, maybe going to have to resort to cleaning up with a factory reset.
This phone is so beautiful, yet functions like a POS, minus the camera. It just sits on desk collecting dust. I too have the aforementioned issue, along with dozens of others. First phone I've ever regretted buying.
Hi guys I have a problem with the touch response on my G4 (H815)
Basically when I use multi touch (and sometimes just normal scrolling) in certain apps the phone will recognize screen taps at the bottom of the screen at the home and back buttons and sometimes other areas, I have used the 'multi touch app' from the play store to confirm that this is indeed the case. This is extremely annoying as apps exit by themselves because of this. It doesn't happen every single time either, just sometimes but often enough for it to be annoying and so may be hard to prove to my carrier or LG if i send it back cause they may say there's nothing wrong with it.
It seems like a hardware issue and in that case the phone should still be under warranty right? I got it in August and haven't rooted or done anything invasive.
There are many people having issues with the G4 touchscreen. Check with your carrier and see if you can exchange it or what your options are.
Hi,
Same problem for me, the back and home button seems possessed. Se this video dropbox.com/s/540ozmvdnhemv8f/MOV_0005.mp4?dl=0 for an example. I bought the phone Thursday last week and it have been this pretty much since unboxing. After a factory reset the phone acts normal for a couple of minutes or hours, but goes back to that stage were I can't use the phone at all. I've managed to update to the latest software but the problem didn't go away. I'll try to contact the supplier I bought the phone from and exchange it tomorrow.
Since I do not have enough posts to post external links you have to figure out for youself what to type infront of the "link" I included.
Hi,Guys...
Two days ago I was interested on a thread in Reddit, since it cant be accessed freely in my country so I choose to try it with VPN.
Then I installed alot of VPN apps and I just realized everything was turning ON at the same time and my phone start to laggy then freeze/stuck. Can't do a thing like moving screen or pressing button which force me to restart the phone.
After the phone reboot I uninstalled all of the VPN that I've been downloaded.
Then I look on my screen which is full of dulls cuz of use, so I wiped it with soft cloth (i like shiny screen), since the Ambient Display in ON, the screen was moved along with the wipe process which make the notification tile move up and down and the switch like Wifi,Mobile Data, DnD, etc get pressed randomly many times, then the phone freeze/stuck again.
I rebooted it, and when I'm about to use it like 5-10 seconds it freeze again but this time it had adjacent lines and have color like rainbow (i dont know what it called), and this is the beginning of the problem. It keep happening even now.
I can't use my phone for few minutes. Keep freezing/stuck sometimes it have lines sometimes dont.
Even if after I restart the phone and let it boot to homescreen, sometimes it would restart it by itself.
Is there anyone who ever face this kind of problem? I'm hoping this is not related to the hardware since until now this phone is not officialy released in my country so I dont know where I can bring this phone to get serviced.
Please for anyone who can tell me what to do to help bring my daily phone to be normal again.
Thanks in advanced. And sorry if my english is not that good.
bump. I have the same issue.

Hi man,
Sorry to hear that you have the same problem as mine ? Did you fixed already ?

Maybe you should try it yourself and hope the method will work with your 5x too :highfive:
