First it was ilomilo, now Flixster. An update shows available, appears to download fine, then it just seems to abort and nothing happens. The app then continues to show update available. And if I retry the status goes from Pending to Installing, but the progress bar never moves and the app never updates.
Tried everything short of a factory reset, and the only solution seems to be to uninstall the app completely and reinstall.
Is there another fix? Some apps have still updated fine.

i have had the problem for a while now.... theres some games as well
When it happens to me, and it has happened about 3 times now, I delete the app and then reinstall it.

This bug happened when a developer update the app, and change the name of this app. For example, surfcube browser is update to 1.2 and the developerschange the name of the app in surfcube 3d browser.
i have the same bug!!

I have only noticed this will trial versions of apps. If you have a trial app, then you have to uninstall and re-download to update it. As for ilomilo and some other games, you have to use Wi-Fi to download the game. There is a file size limit(don't know what it is) but that was the only way I could get Harvest, Earth Worm Jim, and the Ilomilo update from my phone.
Try deleting the market cache. That's resolved that issues for me on the few occasions it has popped up.

Yeah, I have only noticed this when using trial apps as well so I think that's the problem. Maybe its Microsoft's idea of making you want to buy the app as the trial version update procedure is annoying lol

It's happened with free apps also.
Being unable to update to update trial apps is quite a well documented bug with the marketplace and is going to be fixed
this issue can be solved by uninstalling and re-installing the app.

Hi everyone,
I've been trying new ROMs and kernels since I got my M8 about a year ago. Ever since I switched away from Sense ROMs to GPE and AOSP, I've noticed that my phone has become debilitatingly slow on a semi-regular basis until I do a clean flash (and even then, the speed lasts for only a couple days max after restoring my apps).
Specifically:
- In general, apps and system activity will freeze mid-use
- Phone calls will sometimes cause my phone to vibrate for a bit before letting me act on them (and even so, my phone may be too frozen to act at all)
- Screen power-on sometimes takes a few tries
- Major 3rd party like Uber, Snapchat, etc- will take a long time to load and stutter more frequently during use
- Camera takes a good amount of time to load regardless of app
I'm mostly trying to figure out if there's something wrong with my approach to ROM selection, backup/restoring, or kernel configuration, because none of this feels how using a year-old flagship should.
Here's my current flow between ROMs: Backup all user apps, accounts, and other ROM-agnostic attributes with Titanium Pro; factory reset with TWRP; install ROM + gapps with TWRP; reboot, log in with Google to install Titanium; restore all missing apps + system data with Titanium. I've used DH's GPE, BlissPop, CM 12.1, and Candy5- all with the same result of general slowness and unusability after a couple days of use.
Things to note which I suspect may be possible culprits:
- I haven't ever cleared out internal storage, but try to keep ~5 gb free at a time.
- I have 3-4 Google accounts synced at once.
- I regularly use Facebook, Snapchat, and Uber/Lyft- all of which feel somewhat bloated and don't adhere to Android guidelines too well as far as I can tell
Things I've tried to cut down on lag:
- Greenified aforementioned bloated apps
- Messed with kernel I/O, clock speed, and governor settings with little or temporary success (I stick to stock settings now)
- Clearing running apps regularly (which I hate to do- Android should be able to handle processes just fine)
Currently running Candy5, latest build on Verizon.
Hopefully I've been thorough enough in my descriptions to give someone an idea of how to make my phone work as well as I know it should. Looking forward to getting to the bottom of this, and thanks so much in advance for anyone who wants to put the time in to help me out.
Only thing to suggest is not to restore apps and accounts. Set it up fresh from the beginning and run the basic needs for a week see if that helps. Terrible issues can appear when you restore apps that are originally installed on another rom.

Have you had much luck with this? I'm also experiencing unbearable lag no matter which ROM I choose. Nothing I've tried has worked and it was suggested in a thread that I created (http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/unable-to-stable-rom-m8-t3179661/) that I reach out to you to see if you've made progress or not with this issue?

Yo! Saw your post a bit earlier. I finally go around to doing a full wipe (that's system/data/cache/internal, not just a factory reset), and only backing up the essentials (no apps- essentially just homescreen layout). Then, I installed DirtyUnicorns and the linked GAPPS, then restored apps from my Google account instead of Titanium. Been going strong for 2 days or so now, but I can't be sure that'll stick around. Honestly, if a full wipe doesn't fix these issues, I'm convinced nothing will, so I'm hoping for the best.
Slim zero gapps package works well for me also.

I also had a feeling it could have been a full wipe issue (need click on advance to get to other wipes).
Always let google install my apps also (57 apps).
Never have had a lag problem with Dirty Unicorns.

Yeah, I'm kinda doing the same thing now too. Previously I didn't quite use TB to restore my apps like you did; I just restored the data manually for certain apps, but I'm not even doing that this time. I'm just slowly installing apps one by one and giving it a day or at least a few hours of use before installing the next. It's super slow going and sucks to not have all my apps, but I just don't know what to do.

I'm still not convinced the full wipe will do it. I did that a couple iterations ago when I was going between ROMS and it didn't help then. The only difference between then and now is I'm going very slowly installing the apps back in and also avoiding restoring the data (data only) from TB unless I absolutely have to.
One oddity for me was when this would happen, if I would go into the recent item listing and cleared it, that would make a huge difference performance wise. Did you experience the same thing?

Yep, I did. It definitely helped briefly, but opening certain apps would bog the entire thing down. Never quite felt the way it should have.
Same thing for me too. Have tried all the best/popular ROMs and eventually I have unbearable lag. Only thing I've done between ROMs is restore apps via Titanium Backup (Just the apps, no data). Wonder if installing the apps 1 by 1 via the play store really helps or not?

Still figuring it out myself. I tried to go to both the latest VenomOne ROM and the last KK version of it and neither would load on my phone. Went back to DU and so far so good. But it's only been about 8 hours. Trying to restore as little data from TB as possible.
Update for me. I was tired of the lag once again (Was on this 7/7/2015-Lollipop Stock Rooted Google Play Edition LMY47O.H6). I downloaded Venom 4.3.0. Performed a wipe 3 times in TWRP and then also wipe in Venom. It's only been around 12 hours since I flashed it but holy crap this is crazy fast. I did not do any TB backup or any app restore of any sort, just did it all manually via the Play Store. Now typically, when I flash new ROMs it seems to be pretty fast but I don't recall it ever being this fast. Hopefully this sticks. I'll post an update in a few days.

Interesting, I couldn't even get it installed on my phone this time! I've been running Dirty Unicorns for a couple days now, installed most of my apps and am having no issues yet. However, I do miss the TMO wifi calling. That's going to be a problem since one of my work locations has basically zero cell coverage.

Something has to be wrong with my phone. DU runs better, but still not 100% smooth. I still find that clearing the recent apps helps, but it wasn't like that a couple months ago. I don't know if I dropped my phone or the internal memory is damaged somehow or what. But it's still locking randomly and just not smooth.
Now I gotta figure out how to unroot and bring it back to stock so that TMO doesn't give me crap about replacing this thing.

Keep me updated. DU has slowed down since I installed it, but clearing recent apps seems to temporarily help things. Also started using Folio instead of Facebook, and relied more heavily on my Wear device, so things have been tolerable (albeit not great).

But that wouldn't get rid of the bootloader, would it? I still have to research the steps to perform, but not only do I have to put stock ROM on it, but I have to replace the bootloader and recovery to try and get rid of all traces that it's been rooted (the red text at boot for example).
I won't be doing that until closer to the weekend anyways. So I still have a few days to figure it out and maybe in that time there'll be a breakthrough on why my phones doing this.

Just out of curiosity, are you using a microSD, and if so, what size/kind? I've had a 64gb in mine forever (and wasn't even using it for anything), and I just unmounted it. Suddenly, everything is significantly smoother and the bugginess has gone away. It's only been about an hour, but I'm starting to think that might have been the problem all along.

I am, but I have replaced it. I was using a 16GB one, but bought a 32GB when these problems started with the purpose of off loading programs to the SD card since the phones memory was getting full. The phone is no longer full since I've wiped and don't have that many programs installed anymore. I can try taking it out to see how things go.
Facebook images on my pixel XL randomly don't load correctly. Basically when I tab a pictures to maximize it nothing happens unless I hit back and try again. Even then it sometimes doesn't work. Occasionally the same thing will happen on Instagram but mostly on FB. Search back in this thread to see if I could find anything but didn't. Does anyone else have this happen? Could it be a ram issue? I'm trying to see if it's worth it to RMA

does this type of issue occur in any other app? have you tried browsing on chrome and seeing if images fail to display properly on it? try browsing a picture heavy site like imgur and see if any of those fail. This will let you know if it's something with the phone in general or something with those two apps.
You shouldn't have to RMA off of that you can always wipe the cache, uninstall/reinstall the app, factory image without wiping. If all that fails to fix that issue then yeah you're going to need to start that exchange process...
Yeah, I've tried everything I can think of. Reinstalling doesn't work. I was running a custom rom and just went back to stock and it seemed to fix the problem but then it just started doing it again.

It might be a bug with the Facebook app. It might also be that you installed an app that is clashing with Facebook. When you went back to stock did you do a full flash of the stock image or cheat by keeping your user data? If you did the latter you might want to do a full flash where your phone starts off completely clean. If you did the former and already started out clean you might want to contact Pixel support and see if they have any ideas.
Another possibility is to do a factory reset. I'm not sure if Facebook comes on the phone by default or not. If it does don't install any of your downloaded apps and see if the Facebook app problem returns. If it doesn't download your apps one at a time until you figure out which one is causing the problem.

Yeah did a full wipe including user data. I'm just trying to figure out if anybody has had this issue. I'm going to try Google support and see what they say. It's not a huge deal but it takes away from the overall experience of the phone.

Pixel slow to load Twitter pics
I just got my pixel 2 XL Twitter pics are barely loading after unintall and reinstall no better. WiFi is good on all other apps. Current update uninstalled.
Hi, i just want to share my experience with the phone. The first time i got it, it was speedy, then upon adding more apps, i felt like the phone got slower. I did a lot of things, clearing cache, deleting apps (which worked a bit even though i had 8gb left of internal storage most of the time), restarting, tinkering with dev options.
Then I happen to pass by an adblocker app and thought to download it since i watch a lot of youtube and get annoyed by ads(not rooted coz im still in warranty). Then upon setting it up and using it. I felt like the phone got snappier. The apps load faster, no lags, etc.
Just thought i would share this so that i may be able to help those who may had similar issues as mine.

Been using adguard as of now, haven't tried others but this works well enough for me. You can try others and see if it works though. Im guessing the main reason why my phone was bogging down was due to the ad content present on most free apps and using the ad blocker prevented them from loading so less strain on the phone.
Have been using for a week and haven't experienced any lags like before as of yet, even if my internal has 4gb left

Any suggestions how to fix this sh1t without factory resetting?
Huh, thought I was the only one. This keeps happening to me as well. One way I stopped it for a bit was clearing the cache for the settings app. Although you have to be quick before it crashes and makes it near impossible to do so. Unfortunately I think this has to do with the latest update. Just out curiosity, what model do you have?

You may reboot to safe mode and settings become to work without bugs. But all other programs don't start. After reboot settings work, about 1 minute. Then, I presume some program starts into memory and crashes settings. I can't point to which one, and if it's 3rd party or stock service.
Do you have app named SRTC? Can't remember such app out of the box. maybe it' virus? but it's system and can't be uninstalled

Probably it is a new app that you have installed recently or an update or an app. Try to reset the phone in safe mode, if the problem persist is a system app problem. If you don't want to reset the phone try re-flashing the last kdz and if it doesn't work do a factory reset.
I've had this issue for months. If you have a 3rd party launcher, make a shortcut to the search bar of settings. I use Activities with Nova Launcher
There's an app in the play store that will get you into settings made specifically for this issue.
