if library stopped unexpectedly - check this - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Unrooted stock HD+.
Installed some apps and did not try the nook library for a while
(library was working before).
Then tried the library and was getting a message
library has stopped unexpectedly. Library was stopping though it was definitely opening for a second.
Restored from a backup (CWM) and reinstalled some apps etc ... checking if library works.
Then I re-enabled a setting in Power Toggles.
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc&hl=en
The setting description is in goolge play :
"Android currently does not support adding a notification which is always on the top. You can enable an accessibility service which pushes the widget on the top whenever a new notification arrives.
On the main application screen, click the pin icon in the notification section, and enable the “Power Controls” accessibility service to make the widget pin to the top of the notification area."
And after that I got the message library has stopped unexpectedly when I tried library.
Disabled the “Power Controls” accessibility service -and library is working.
Well - I sure googled the problem before I restored from the backup.
But by the way non-rooted stock even doesn't enable to clear the library cache.
So whoever will google this problem next could find this thread .

Massive battery drain by google service with fresh install of CM11 nightly

After a fresh install, i experienced massive battery drain (50%+ over night).
the culprit was google service, easily identified in the battery overview.
It prevents the phone from going to sleep mode.
i searched for the problem and found
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/...ce-wakelock-on-cm11-m7-massive-battery-drain/
"it's a new ota update service that was added in a recent Google Play Services update."
Solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53739230&postcount=5031
quote:
Finally I was able to block the SystemUpdateService wakelock, using this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun (Autorun Manager)
go to settings, enable the option to show system entries
(refresh services)
find google play services and disable:
SystemUpdateService$Receiver
SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver
SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver
done... no more wakelock and it didn't break anything, syncs all work ok
I know this app doesn't look the best, but I tried others like "Android Tuner Free", "Disable Services", "Gemini App Manager", etc, but they allowed me to only disable the main service and didn't show the other receivers that had to be disabled.

One thing to add: If you clicked too much in Autorun Manager, it stops working and says "only changing of 10 entries allowed in the free version".
I wont give tipps to bypass this behaviour, so first think, then click.
the app can reset your services status from the menu, if you misclicked.
well, im not sure if this worked out well..
after 6 hrs, still google service takes a huge chunk of my battery. will report tomorrow.
installed latest nightly over this one, flashed google apps zip again, did not wipe anything, did not deactivate any google apps nor services, problem gone.

Suspended for security reasons after enabling developer mode

Hi, I don't know if this is the right section, anyways a few time ago I enabled developer mode on Android auto for curiosity, but after that when I navigate in the music apps, included Google music, I get this message "suspended for security reasons" and the app ui voices of the menus get grayed out and cannot be pressed during the message. After the message disvanish, i can navigate again in the menu and play music but after a few seconds if I scroll down or touch anything the message kicks in again. I tryed deleting app, data, the cache and the apps themselves but nothing seems to work. Deleted cache also from the stock recovery. Look like is something account related, I dunno.
This happens in every music app, from playstore or not.
My phone is a Samsung s5 ktle g900f, non rooted, with android 6.
The system apps I use are package disabler, button mapper, es file manager pro, Adguard, MacroDroid, nova Launcher and tesla, Swiftkey, Tapet.
Before I enabled the developer mode everything worked like charm.
Any solution?

Phone stuck on Preparing for Setup

Device: Xiaomi Mi A2 Android One
ROM: Stock Google Android 9 Pie
I recently had to do a hard factory reset on my Android One Xiaomi Mi A2 phone. After reset a particular notification keeps insistently reappearing - it is from two different apks that are part of the stock ROM/OS - Android Setup (with a circular arrow timer icon) and Android setup (with a gear icon). Both the apks have the same name but different icons and listed separately. They can be found by clicking on Settings>Apps & notifications>See all apps>Show system. I am currently on Android 9 Pie.
The notification from Android Setup (with a circular arrow timer icon) gives two options - connect to WiFi or Use Mobile Data. On choosing either option it takes me to a white screen that has a gear symbol/icon on top and right below it it says PREPARING FOR SETUP... and below that it says YOU CAN FINISH SETTING UP YOUR Mi A2 SOON... At the bottom of this screen it has a rectangular Start button but that remains greyed out. I waited two days on this but it remained same. I did hard reset numerous times and re-setup phone but issue would not go away.
So then I did a reset from Recovery/Hard Reset again. Then I did the following in the order I mention - Set-up the phone as new / Chose Do not back up data or apps from previous save - Unchecked all apps that I had earlier that Google was trying to reinstall automatically after reset as per backed up info of my device on Google servers. Once phone was on homescreen I went to PlayStore and updated Google Play Services first thing. Then I installed all available updates. Then manually reinstalled all apps I earlier had on my phone one by one. After all this, notification from Android Setup (with a circular arrow timer icon) reappeared and same issue - whether I choose Use Mobile Data or connect to wifi it would just take me to PREPARING FOR SETUP screen and stays there with Start button greyed out and notification bar indicators showing no data being transmitted up or down.
So then I went into settings, force stopped it (Android Setup with a circular arrow timer icon) and deleted cache and data for this apk. Left it overnight. In the morning I see that there is the same notification but this time from the Android Setup (with a gear icon) and the only option is connect to wifi. Upon connecting to wifi it takes me to the same PREPARING FOR SETUP screen with start button greyed out and does nothing. So this time I went into settings and forced stopped this (Android Setup with a gear icon) system apk and deleted its cache. Delete data option is greyed out, although it shows some data is stored. This makes notification go away but once I reboot phone it reappears.
I have done research online and many others have faced this exact same issue, exact same PREPARING FOR SETUP screen. But many different handsets, many different roms. Most common solution offered online was to delete cache and data for Google play Services and PlayStore. That was of no help in my case. Mine is a completely stock Android One 9 Pie rom, strictly no mods whatsoever. I doubt this has anything to do with the phone manufacturer, because they would not mess with those system apks I have mentioned earlier. It seems connected to Play Services apk and backed up phone settings/information on Google servers. Might have something to do with RESTORE DATA AND SETTINGS WHEN APP IS REINSTALLED setting option in the Android OS. I attempted to delete backed-up device settings, passwords and app info backed up on Google's servers, and then did a reset again and set up as new, but problem is still there.
Any help/info/etc. you can provide about this would be much appreciated ...

Why do you want to use a beta Pie ? Just restore Oreo

No its not Beta Pie. Its a full public release, updated through OTA.
I have seen this problem mentioned in Nexus, Pixel and Oneplus6 Forums as well (among others) so not sure if it is specific to Pie ...
SOLVED
After all the steps mentioned in original post, heres what I did - Went into my Google account and removed phone from devices listed under my account. Reset phone. Set up - as new (chose do not restore backed up setttings/apps/data)(did this setup with wifi). Towards end of setup Google still tries to reinstall some apps that were installed before, so tapped on REVIEW APPS and unchecked all checked apps. Three apps were still listed with no option to unselect. Continued. Got to home screen. Problem notification appeared. This time tapped on USE MOBILE DATA option on the notification. It did not go to problematic PREPARING FOR SETUP screen but went to another screen that said installing 3 apps (the 3 apps that could not be unchecked as I mentioned earlier), and after a few minutes of seeming to be stuck, just completed on its own!
PROBLEM SOLVED. Mentioning everything done in detail in the hopes that it will help someone else. Cheers!!:good:

Possibly Metered connection issue

Realise this thread is a little old, but I had the same problem and did not want to reset the phone again. I am using LineageOS 16.0
Most of the solutions appear to be little more than try again.
I found the following work:
When the option comes up, go back ("<") key from the screen that shows a grey "Start" button. This should give the WiFi options. Click the WiFi which is connected, and then click Advanced. Change Metered from Automatic to Unmetered. Click finish / ok as necessary and it should then work.
I can only assume that Android is detecting the connection is metered therefore refusing to do the final setup. Hope that this helps someone!
Don't forget to set the connection back to automatic / metered if applicable!
What i did and helped is that i deleted the Google account, restarted the phone and the Update went through.
what worked for me - i had to install gapps first and then just factory reset in twrp - a20 205w - running lineageos16

Thanks A NEast, it works on my Nokia 6.1 Plus
Just change the Wi-Fi options from automatic to unmetered

Android Auto keeps crashing upon startup

I read somewhere dual apps can cause problems, so I deleted my only dual app on the phone (WhatsApp) and made sure that "user 999" is no longer there ("pm list users" shows only user 0). But the problem with Android Auto still persists.
It simply crashes after the initial configuration. Then subsequently every time I tap on the icon to run it, it crashes and quits right away.
I cleared data for both Android Auto and Google play services. Same problem.
I did some debloating when I started using the phone before installing Android Auto. Could this be the issue, that I debloated something that was essential to Android Auto's operations?
I also have Magisk running on the phone. Tried hiding Android Auto (Google Play Services is already hidden). Same problem.
Any help appreciated ! Running MIUI EEA 10.2.26 by the way.
Found the issue.
In app permissions I allowed the app to access calendar. But I have removed Google calendar from the system with adb tools (I use Outlook so Google Calendar becomes redundant). I guess Android Auto assumes Google Calendar is always there so it crashes when it is not found.
I disable the calendar permission and everything works now.

100% Weirdness

Hi,
My S10e's battery went flat an hour ago, so I plugged it in and turned it on.
When I went to use it, I had a notification to "finish setting up your phone, copy data..." so I thought it must've installed a new update.
Here is the weird part. It hadn't, but Facebook, Game Launcher and a few other apps popped up in the app drawer. All these apps had been disabled since September. Also, the app drawer now contains a work section at the bottom which essentially replaces the secure folder app. I can't open any of the secure folder apps and the icon for SF in the notification panel has moved position and lacks a descriptor beneath it.
After first turning it on, I checked the settings and it had(and still has) the April version, but it started downloading the May version which I haven't installed yet.
All my secure folder apps are still there, but the correct password comes back as incorrect, so I am unable to access them. To add to the ****ery, the reset password option tells me there is no account under my e-mail address.
When I tap the ""finish setting up your phone, copy data..." notification, nothing happens.
What is happening?
My guess is that there's a bug somewhere or something has gone wrong either software or hardware wise. Updating to the latest firmware either via Odin or OTA might help. Doing a data factory reset may also fix it as well.
