Today, I plugged in my 20X to my monitor and noticed that my Chrome is no longer appearing in the Desktop apps.
All other Google apps are still appeating:Google, Photo, Maps, Drive. Only Chrome is missing.
Anyone encountered the same problem and any fix to this?

I have the same issue. I just tried Desktop Mode for the first time a few days ago and noticed it was missing. Were you able to use Chrome in the past? You mean it just disappeared after a recent update? In that case we could roll back to a previous Chrome version...
Anyone know how to add apps to the desktop mode start menu?
All G apps except Chrome are missing.

Hi guys I have two weird things happening on my device.
1. When I use the multitasker, it shows the maps apps with the icon but the actual screenshot is blank. Like it was accessed in the background.
2. I had downloaded the getjar app from the site, but found it a hassle and the apps that I wanted were not updated so I deleted it entirely from my device. But just a couple of minutes ago I received a download that said getjar.apk. When I checked on the downloads icon it showed the download but I DID NOT install I just deleted it. It was around 122kb download.
Any guesses at what it maybe? I'm running stock 4.0.2 but rooted GSM Nexus.

Normal. The Maps app regularly pops up in the background for a second, but incorrectly gets put in the multitasking menu. Wouldn't be worried about it.
Anyone know about the getjar.apk downloading issue? It just happened again.
Just got the Note 8 a few weeks ago when I saw it on sale and loving it but having some issues with the most recent round of updates to some Google apps. Looked through the threads but did not see anything regarding this so apologies if it has been covered.
This started with the update to Google Search (Google Now) a week or so ago. Once it updated I couldn't use google search or open google now, it would always force close. I unistalled the update and it worked again. Later it reinstalled and now the updated version is working.
Then came the update to Google Chrome. Same thing, Chrome begins to open but before it fully loads it force closes. Unfortunately reverting and then getting the updates again hasn't helped on this one.
Finally, I got the Google Keyboard update last night and this one was even worse. I had Google Keyboard set as my default and not only would it not open up and kept giving me force close errors it also seemed to really hurt system performance. It took two or three touches to get anything to respond. I went in and disabled the Google keyboard and system performance returned to normal.
Has anyone else seen these types of issues? Is there something I need to do to resolve them? I can live without the keyboard but really missing Chrome.
(Note 8 is completely stock, no root)
OK,
As for Google updates...
Keyboard should not update, as it is not part of the OEM package.
You may have to do a factory reset and let the tablet auto update before reinstalling. Some updates may not start right away, may take a few hours to show.
Once they start you should be good with the google stuff.
Yes I have also got problem described at OP. Have to Uninstall updates applied on Chrome, Google translate etc.

I know that the Google Keyboard isn't part of the OEM package, I've installed it and of course it was going to update since they just pushed a new update to Google Play. it was working just fine until the most recent update just like Search and Chrome were. It just seems that there seems to be some incompatibility with something in the Note 8 and several of the recent updates. Similar comments from Note 8 users can be seen on the Play store comments about these updates.
After continuing to play with it I think I have Chrome working again, at least for now, after unistalling updates, reinstalling updates, clearing data on the app, etc. Considering other comments of similar problems on play store just thought I would check here with people and see if anyone here had any previous experience with Note 8 having issues like this since I am new to the particular device.

Well, I have always had issues with Chrome and the most of all Music Player, and never bothered with googles keyboard.
All other updates worked fine for me. I am using the latest search with enhanced voice, maps, earth.
I have used Dolphin browser and found it worth while, but replaced it with the latest Firefox. It may be a bit cumbersome, but it does make good shortcuts to book marks and is the best at emulating a Desktop browser, plus there are plugins galore if you go that route.
Suddenly today my facebook camera icon to attachnimages to comments is missing when viewing via Chrome browser, but it's still there in Firefox and request for desktop version.
Anyone got any ideas what's up? They trying to force us to use Thier apps or something screwy?
Do you realize that you speak gibberish in your post? I'd love to help you, but your language is not comprehensible!
I'm also having trouble figuring out what has happened. It seems the camera icon for comments is missing from Facebook when I'm using chrome. Unless I switch to desktop. I've tried reinstalling chrome, clearing data and resetting settings.
Seems it just took a few days not exactly sure I did anything but the icon has reappeared.
Son got a S9 for Xmas. However on opening Google Photos it just crashes instantly. Can't open it at all. This is a standard UK S9. Pretty disappointing on a inbuilt app doing this from out of the box.
It seems to be a very common issue looking on web. Is this a Samsung problem or a Google, or Amdroid problem? and is there a fix yet anywhere?
Thanks

See if the Play Store has any updates available for it. Maybe its been fixed by Google. If not I'd guess maybe clearing the cache/data of the Google Photos app might help. If you press and hold on an app there should popup an option with "app info". From there there should be a storage option and once selected it should list how much storage is being used as cache and data. Try clearing the cache first and see if that fixes it. If not go for the clear data option.
Yeh tried all that. All up to date, tried restarting, clear cache etc. Looks like a wide ranging problem as well. Very frustrating, open brand new phone out of box and get this have to say, not impressed so far with Android.

Have you updated Android itself? Probably a couple of updates behind out of the box
Plus Android Pie is available for certain regions now, could always update to that using ODIN
I would also try factory resetting the phone if nothing else works
Also if you go to the apps info page and hit the 3 dots top right menu, there should be an uninstall updates button, it will revert back to the factory installed version of the app
Are you using Swift Installer?

Don't bother using Google photos especially to back up motion photos if your using that on the phone as it doesn't back them up properly and when restoring just gives back a normal photo just use the samsung gallery app until the photos app is working again.
Hey guys. After playing around a bit I wondered why Skype and account settings suddenly stopped working. After a while playing around I figured what was happening.
Since I'm not a fan of Chrome, I decided to remove it, like I always do. Don't want unnecessary stuff on my device.
After reinstalling, it was possible again to add a new account, also to start Skype. Seem it is bound to Chrome web view somehow. The alternative internal Android web view don't seem to work with these settings.
Does anyone have an idea how to safely remove Chrome but keep functionality?
Disabled the chrome app on my phone with no issues.
I'm also not seeing this issue.

Just disable chrome
I did. This also results in not being able to add a new Google account, or simply start Skype.
Only if Chrome is installed AND active it will work. Can you guys try again and report back?

Just ran Skype and added a Google account. No problem, no Chrome. I'm wondering if another app you installed is getting involved.

I uninstall chrome, no issue at all bro. All working fine.

Just have a look. And no: if I do a clean install and have nothing else installed other than Skype, it acts the same way. This is where I figured out why this was happening.
Edit: even if I don't install Skype any anything else: if I just deactivate chrome I can't add any Google accounts.
