Z Play apps stop unless they are on screen - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

Bought this phone new from Best Buy. Ever since I've had it apps will randomly stop running unless I currently have them open on my screen. Messaging and maps mostly. I've tried different messaging apps and it's the same with all of them. I usually receive a bunch of messages whenever I open my app but I hardly receive them on time. If I'm using maps navigation and switch to another app on screen, the navigation will stop after 30 seconds or so. I've gone through every phone and app setting that I can think of. Also wiped cache (dalvik included) and I'm getting the same results. Any ideas?

[Q] Facebook App Strange Behavior

hey all,
so almost every time i try to post a picture with the facebook app, here's what happens:
- i get 3 notification icons showing the picture uploading
- one of them finishes, the other 2 get stuck at 20% and 40% (sometimes different even amounts, but usually its 20 and 40)
- on facebook, the picture gets posted TWICE (not 3 times, not once, but twice)
- the completed upload notification icon can be cleared but the other 2 can't (touching them brings you into the facebook app but doesn't clear them)
- the other 2 stay, even if i force close the facebook app. the only way i can find to get rid of them is to reboot the phone.
this happens 9 times out of 10 when i upload a pic. i've tried from the camera app right after taking a pic, from the gallery with existing pics, and from the facebook app (attaching a pic to a status update).
i'm using bulletproof miui (the newest version, and i update every week and clear my cache when updating). this also happened before i switched to bulletproof on cyanogen stable. i don't think it happened back when i was not rooted and just on stock, but it's been a while and i don't really remember, i just know for sure its happened on both bulletproof miui and cyanogen.
any ideas?
thanks
David
Are u restoring a backup (ie titanium) or are u jusr reinstalling the app? Have u tried force closing the app and clearing data/cache (settings>applications>manage applications)?
What about a fix_permissions?

Wrong app starting when selecting Google Music

Hi all,
I hope this issue has not been raised before, did not find anything with a search.
Sometimes I have the Issue that whenever I try to open the Google Music App, another App is opened (and if that happens, it is that app consistently regardless of how often I try to open Google Music).
If it happens, then it does not matter whether I open Google Music from the App Drawer, from the dockbar, or any other shortcut on the homescreen.
The problem is only fixed when the device is restarted. I went to the apps menu in settings and killed the app that opened (in this case it was the contacts app, in another case Foursquare) when I tried to open Google Music. Google Music was not open and not in the Cache. Still, issue remained until after a restart.
I have not yet found a way to replicate this behaviour in a consistent manner.
I am on 4.0.1, ITL41F.
Any ideas / comments?
Thanks,
Moritz
I had the same thing happen on my HTC Inspire. I think it is a problem with Google Music. My GNex has only done it once or twice.

Force closing/Sound issues

I am having a bunch of issues with my device, some of which I had with my first device, which i smashed the screen.
I get system FC, and many apps, mainly twitter FC alot. This happened alot with my first device as well.
If I open the camera while music is playing (Poweramp), sound comes thru the speaker for a few seconds. Embarrassing as i take the train.
Screen rotation takes forever.
I get vibrating notifications randomly with nothing new incoming. LED doesnt indicate a notification though.
Any thoughts?

When's the last time you rebooted your phone? Cleared the cache? Cleared davlink? Are you rooted? Running a custom rom? Installed a different kernel? More information about your set up is needed.

Apps Randomly Closing. How to stop this?

I am using, for example Notification toggles and Volume Booster App. After several hours or so they automatically close and I have to keep launching them again. I've tried everything and gone through batter and power management and allowed these apps to run automatically but they keep closing.
Never had this issue with Sony in the past. Any solution??
I have the same issue
And when not using my device for several hours I don't receive any WhatsApp messages or emails. Once unlocking the phone all messages from through.
Sometimes I have to even turn it off and on again as the mobile data stops working. I've not had this issue before. Any solution?
Since last two updates same here for me some apps auto closes and even dont receive notification on time for few apps
I've followed these tips to prevent Tasker and Blokada from being killed. Working fine ever since.

Is it not because of Phone Manager closing some apps automatically? Oddly enough when using Chrome and Brave, only Brave gets closed while Chrome stays opened.

Question Apps not running in background

Does anyone else have this issue where some apps such as instagram, discord, or twitter not run in the background after clearing the recent apps screen? I have tried re-installing the apps, as well as setting their battery options to unrestricted, but to no avail. Because of this I am unable to receive any notifications from these apps. If anyone has experienced this and knows a fix I would really appreciate help.
i think i have the same issue,
received it yesterday
hopefully we get a global rom soon
The only workaround I have for this is to lock the apps that I want running in the recent apps screen. I don't like it because I have a habit of clearing my recent apps every now and then, but it will have to do for now.

The same thing happens to me. It does not happen to me with all the apps but I have verified that with several. for example the ExpressVPN app only works for me if I have the app open in "recent", if I close it the app stops working
messages app not working also, i had to install google messages and it's ok
Hi
Go to Device Shield APP /App management
change the setting in App auto Strat and background running.
