Been searching on this issue and have not seen many mention about this issue.
Is anyone noticed that when you minimize a game (I'm sure there are others), the app does not stay running in the background.
I've tried altering the system setting to keep the game running in the background, etc. It's always worked before and stopped working after the latest update.
Anyone find a way to resolve this?

Hi guys,
My Galaxy Nexus has a weird issue that I can't seem to figure out whether it is caused by software or hardware. A portion of my screen seems to flicker when I have certain apps open. They all have a common cause. For instance when I open Chrome and begin to do a search from the top I notice the drop down results will flicker in sync with the cursor. It doesn't appear that the whole screen flickers. It only seems to be the drop down results which are typically black text on white backgroud that flicker. I don't notice anything similar within all other apps such as the standard messaging app which have blinking cursors. I can also get the same flickering result in my IMDB Movie app while starting a search within the app which will start to display results that faintly flicker. I have never seen it flicker using a screen testing app such as the ones used for detecting dead pixels. I am not sure if this is something has always existed on my phone, but I noticed this about a week ago while still on 4.1.2. I am now on 4.2 and still have the issue. I attempted a factory reset just to see if that would clear it up but it didn't. Has anyone else experienced this or have some insight for the flickering? I wanted to see if anyone has noticed this before I start the whole Samsung tech process!
One additional observation I made is that when I don't notice the flickering within Chrome,it will remain without any issue until I go and start clearing recent apps.
Thanks,
Jay
Sounds stupid but you sure its not an auto-brightness issue? Samsung phones are known to have crazy auto brightness but anyway try clearing the cache for each app that seems affected....check back let us know what happens
Thanks for the response. I have turned off auto brightness and tried manual brightness settings with the same result. It hasn't become worse, but I can't explain it either way. I have tried clearing the cache for chrome and other apps, but that also hasn't improved things. I am wondering if I try flashing the phone with a fresh stock image instead of just a factory reset since that automatically re-downloaded my apps. I have never done any modifications (root or unlock) so I am not sure that would really help. Maybe the screen is beginning to go bad, but I figured it would flicker when using a screen test app. It only flickers on the white background for specific app search results (ex. Chrome, IMDB, and Zillow).
Thanks again,
Jay
So I did some more troubleshooting and I started uninstalling apps to see if I could find an app causing the issue if it was software. For some reason if I am running my XDA Forum app and leave it running in the recent apps list then I don't get the flicker within Chrome or other apps that have search with drop down results. It is just the search results that flicker and not the whole screen. As soon as I swipe away the XDA app then the flickering returns. I tried uninstalling the XDA app and the flickering continues. It is fairly subtle. I could try a factory reset again and not allow Google to re-install my apps and see if that resolves the issue, but it is very strange overall. I swung over to a Verizon store that still had one on display (even though mine is a GSM model)and noticed there unit had similar behavior and it could be a coincidence. It is pretty subtle, but I am confused why the XDA app keeps it from doing it.

So I installed Game Killer recently onto my rooted Nexus 7 and I decided I would try to give myself a bottomless clip on MC4. Now, despite the fact the app was working just fine before the root, it immediately minimizes when I start up now. I click the app and a black screen opens for a couple of milliseconds before the game minimizes back down. I can still see it in the running apps menu but if I try to open it from there it just does the same thing again and again. I've already tried the basic solutions like reinstalling and rebooting my device but that's pretty much all my options.
I know that it's not a crash, seeing as the app is still running. It just doesn't maximize correctly and I can't actually view the game. With that, I've exhausted all my options because I'm not getting any feedback about the error and I can't look at a crash report because it hasn't crashed. I can't find anyone else with this problem either.
Hi. I tried posting on another site but no one seemed to be experiencing the same issue. I recently switched from SPMC to 13.2. After just few days navigation became very slow but video played fine. It would keep getting slower despite clearing cache then it just wouldn't start--immediate crash.
I switched back to SPMC and still menu was slow, video perfect. But today it just wouldn't launch. After several reboots and clear cache from fire os menu I got it to work. It played a video with no problems, however, I know based on how navigation sticks its going to crash again. Problem is I can't force a crash. It only crashes on startup, making debugging impossible I think.
I'm basically using just genesis and a few program add-ons all from add-on installer. I've used aeon nox and ccm skins. They both do the same thing.
I'm thinking fresh start but there's little reason to think I won't end up back here.
The only other relevant piece of info (maybe) is I recently installed clockwork mod and installed rbox latest firmware. Then I updated the remote from there. It may have nothing to do with anything but without a log I don't know how else to explain it. Anyone else having similar problems? Any and all advice is welcomed. Thanks.
Anyone else experiencing delays when updating their apps? My apps will start downloading but will stop somewhere along the progress bar and just freeze for like 10 sec (which seems like forever on this phone) and then all of a sudden start installing. I've been noticing this with some past devices like me Moto X.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Have not heard of this before.
l have had it crash before, rarely though, when updating but nothing like that
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.
I will start a new religion in your name. Ty my savior.
