Titanium Backup -Hanging on "Uninstall"? - Nook Color General

I have rooted my 1.1 now and everything seems to be working great. I have almost all my apps back to normal, but I am having some trouble with TB.
Every time I select an App that I wish to uninstall, and then select "Uninstall" it proceeds to do so, but it hangs at the "Uninstalling (app name here)".
Any ideas?
It DOES indeed uninstall it, but I have to kill TB every time afterward.

jep - me too... Just used google looking up for this trouble and it brings me here unfortunatelly no answer.
I am going to try that "use secure api stuff"-features in setup...
edit.
nope - did not help changing the settings.
It (TB pro version) hangs on my rooted LG E720 (Android 2.2) as well as on my rooted Samsung Nexus-S (Android 2.3).
(ah - and NO, I did not mess with the licensing. I have paid on both devices)

Mine Too...
and it also occasionally hangs on freezing an app too.

maybe your "app freezing" problem can be fixed by changing the settings!
if you enter preferences and scroll down to "troubleshootings settings" the first option might be interesting for you!
"Adjust this setting if you have problems when restoring or freezing/defrosting apps.
But it did not help for my "uninstall"-Problem.
well... after tempering some more with those settings (i.e select the middle option) I was able to uninstall several APPs now without hanging up TBP... And before, it 100% allways hung.
So maybe thats the trick.

It still hangs on uninstall on my Droid Charge running Humble 5.0 (and any other Gingerbread ROM I have tried. I have tried various settings and no luck. I have reported problems to titanium backup and received absolutely zero response and have searched the web and haven't found anything that works yet.)
I wish I knew when I bought AND recommended Titanium Backup that the company was so haphazard about what they support and what they don't. I expect to get, at least, a reply acknowledging my concern. Juice Defender had problems for a long time, but at least those guys would respond even if it took them a long time to admit to finally admit their was a problem.

I think I might've found the fix for this.
Seems like if I uninstall an app with the phone plugged in... all good.
If I'm running on battery, it hangs.
Every time I start the app, I get the warning:
Your system settings may cause problems. To correct this, go to "Applications" and tick "USB debugging" in "Development".
The USB debugging only takes place if your phone is plugged in. So I plugged the phone in, and it seems... no more hanging.
I didn't test this extensively, so I hope this is the fix for you.

[Q] Unknown App Flashing When Toggling Wifi

Last night I was at home and noticed my wifi wasn't on, so I used the quick settings in the shade to toggle it. After a few seconds, wifi connected, and some unknown app took focus and closed repeatedly. After a few moments, it stopped and all was well.
I thought it was strange, so I turned wifi back off and the same thing happened. I rebooted, tried again, and got the same result. I was trying to think of a way to see what was happening, so I tried using the Screen Record function in Gravity Box, which didn't help much, because it happens so fast, and no info is displayed, just a black window that goes away quickly.
I then turned on the CPU usage in Developer Options to see if anything consistently came to the top when toggling. I saw a few apps each time Plume (Twitter), and Maildroid (email) were two of them. Both of these apps behave differently on wifi and 3G/4G (push vs. pull), so thought -maybe- it could be something with that. I uninstalled both of those, rebooted and tried again, getting the same result.
I recorded the screen when this was happening with the CPU usage displayed, and was wondering if anyone has any ideas? I don't really want to uninstall and reinstall EVERY app on my phone, so I was hoping someone may have seen this before or see something I'm missing when watching it happen.

Thanks for any input anyone can offer!
Do you check virus from your phone ?
I am also having this, seems to be due to 4.4.2 OTA, which I continue to delay as I am rooted.
Mine doens't only happen with wifi change, but also just randomly when using hangouts, keyboard stays out but hangouts min -> maxes quickly. I have tried freezing the update apps but it apparently didn't do anything as I was still asked to update earlier.
Only hangouts? I have that app disabled.in the app settings.
I can't say for sure that being on 4.4.2 fixed it, but I am on 4.4.2 now and it is not happening anymore.
I unlocked my bootloader and did the 4.4.2 SBF, unlocked and rooted. I installed probably 99% of the same apps (only ditched 1-2 that I never used anymore) and I am not having the flashing issue anymore.
Hard to tell for certain if the pending OTA was the cause, but it may have been.

[Q] Ambient display failure

It worked when I first booted up. After a few hours it quit. I did a factory reset, and the same thing happened. I then went through my running apps and turned them off until none were running except the system apps. Still didn't work.
Anyone else have this happen that can suggest a fix? If I have to reset and install apps one by one, how do I do that, since on signing into Google the apps auto load

To fix auto load, you can change the system setting to not backup apps; it's in Settings > Backup & reset. I thought upon initial Google account sign in you could switch that setting off too, and that prevents the apps from auto-installing. I have backup turned off because on previous devices and versions of Android it was contributing to battery drain.

I did what you suggested, adding single apps and confirming the ambient function worked. Found an app that seemed to be the cause, and upon uninstalling it the ambient function came on line. However, about a half hour later, it stopped working again. Spent over an hour on the phone with Moto, and they figured out that ambient doesn't respond unless the phone has been asleep more than 10 seconds. That seemed to work for me. So I did my 4th reset/install of the day, and again, it worked for a while, even with all my apps (including the one that seemed to be the cause in the first place). And then, it stopped again.
I searched, and one suggestion was that ambient won't work unless you have a locked screen. I usually don't use a lock, but what the hey, I'll try it. Set up a pattern unlock and (wait for it.........).
Nope.
I'm stumped.......
Mine seems to stop displaying the ambient as well. It will display a few times initially and then stops. I don't know if it extends its sleep period after every interval or not. Also seems like if you lift up your phone to look at your ambient notifications, that disables any repeat display too

Changes to Device Administrator keeps crashing settings

I know there's got to be some setting turned on that is preventing me from toggling the apps in Device Administrator because whenever I go to it, I can see the full list, and when I attempt to toggle one of them on or off, settings crashes and locks the phone. I have two apps that have been toggled on, so somehow I was given the ability to do it before this hard to find setting was turned on preventing me from toggling any more apps....
Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

I was getting the exact same issue on my S8+ yesterday. Do you perhaps have the latest/beta version of Call Recorder by SKVALEX installed? With my issue at least, I think it was down to that app, well a conflict between the two versions I had on the phone. May have been coincidence and could have been unrelated of course but removing both (old and beta) then just installing the latest beta sorted the issue, or t least the issue went away at the same time...

Not, I don't have that app nor do I think this is AN app preventing me from adjusting Device Administrator toggles
I Had the same problem in my note 7, only thing I could do was a reset all app settings, that solved the issue

Widgets not updating

My widgets are very slow to update. It may take him a half hour or longer to update. I have checked battery optimization is not on for those apps, although one of those two apps that I have the problem with background data is grayed out. So I can't turn on allow background data. Not sure why that would be great out.
Any thoughts?
Wunderlist Task List.
DTG/GTD
But, I did some things poking around, don't remember for sure what all, but I had read that changing the Animation Scale etc to .5 would help. I did change that.
Before posting, I had found that Wunderlist was on battery optimization. Changing it didn't appear to help, so I posted. But now, it seems to be working. Maybe it's fixed. I'll post back in a day or two and indicate if it is still working or has stopped again.
Well, no, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that's the only change I made, and at that point it had started working.
Are you having same problem, albeit different widgets?
FYI... mine is now not working again. I'm not surprised. But am frustrated.
Update...
I am finding that it does eventually update. It feels like the phone has been taken over by something. But, then, other things don't seem slow.
I just installed Gsam battery monitor, and ran the ADB cmds to try to identify apps using battery. Maybe I'll find something using a lot of battery and hence cycles.
My battery does seem to be going down quite a bit faster than it should.
It cleared up for a while after a factory reset,But it's back, and, I find that notifications from Lightflow come in 30 minutes after recieved.
It's like the phone is operating in molasses.
I'm beginning to think this phone is crap. If I switch back to my old Mate 9 it works fine.

certain apps aren't syncing well with pie. i had this same issue with Beautiful widgets, could not get the weather or time to update unless i manually updated it.
Under <Problem APP's> App Info > Battery
1.A Make sure the app is allowed background activity
1.B Make sure the app is not set to "optimized"
. (note: by default, the optimized list will only show apps that HAVEN'T been optimized, . you have to select "ALL" at the top to see all apps.)
Under <Problem APP's> App Info > Mobile Data
2.A Make sure "allow background data usage" is enabled.
2.B Make sure "allow app while data saver is on" if you have data saver enabled.
. (enable this if you want to be sure an app will receive background data.)

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't seem to be having any luck with that. Had already done those.
But!! ...
I just found a post after doing a global search for another issue I am having that seems to coincide with the widget issues, which is, Play Store freezing during updates. The post was in a Xaiomi forum. He said that he found if he had blue tooth on, his play store would constantly freeze. He turned off BT, and rebooted, and it worked.
I just did the same thing...and it is working...both the play store, and widget updates.
Interesting to have the great feeling of success, along with the frustration of a new (newly realized) issue yet remaining (BT).
Looking for a little further and through the settings on Bluetooth, I turned off Bluetooth scan. Now at first I would still have problems with Bluetooth on even though Bluetooth to scan was off. That of course would be very quickly after turning it on or off at cetera.
so this morning I get up having left Bluetooth on all night, with scan off, and everything's working fine. I did find last night that when I would first turn Bluetooth on even with skin off, the problems would be there. But of course when you first turn Bluetooth on it's going to scan anyway.
so I will update this thread little later after I see a little more about weather. Just having scan off actually cures the problem, in case someone else runs into this and it helps them.

Question "Tap to check phone", "Lift to check phone", and (most importantly) "Wake screen for notification" all don't work on new phone

Hello my nerdy pals!
I bought a new Pixel 5a yesterday and set it up normally... no bootloader unlocking or rooting or whatnot.
Everything works as expected except for these features:
1) Wake screen for notification (the one I actually care about)
2) Tap to check phone
3) Lift to check phone
I googled this issue and read a post that suggested I boot the phone in Safe Mode to see if the features still don't work. I did that, and in safe mode they work. The post further said that if it works in safe mode and not normally then I have an app installed that is causing the problem. I should then uninstall apps that are possibly interfering, reboot, and then try the feature again.
I have around 100 apps (nothing crazy, this includes all the system/stock apps). Rather than try to uninstall/reboot/test/reinstall each one, I'm wondering if anyone here has any suggestions for solving this issue.
UPDATE: I ended up the process of uninstalling all my apps to find the culprit, and I did find it.
The app causing the problem was, strangely, a radio app for Canadian stations.
