A few quirks and glitches - Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers

Has anyone experienced any of these problems:
1) when you drag down to refresh gmail the little round icon which animates to show it's busy gets left behind with a dot in it?
2) when google photos is saving after an edit sometimes the "saving" message doesn't go away and you have to swipe the app away in the task manager to wake it up. It has saved it, though.
3) Sometimes it pops up little "xxx has been closed" messages on stuff like the stock music app (which I've never actually used). Perhaps this is memory management at work?
4) In firefox it sometimes pops up the "copy/paste" message when i'm typing in the url bar. It pops up for no reason and you have to press back to get rid of it, then go and click in the url bar again.
5) Newly installed apps don't always appear in the play store. You can search for them, and you can open them a few time or wait or something...not sure what makes them finally turn up in the list to be honest.

What is the most efficient android browser out there?

First off im running haykuro 5.0.2Hr5-A2SD
Im really getting annoyed with the constant lag of the browser. When i search, my keystrokes show up 2 seconds after ive typed them, the browser seems to load slower than rc33 jf root version, i have the cache and app thumbnails linked to my sd card, text messages cleared, gmail cleared, sd card nowhere near full, class4 4gb card. Is there a browser.apk that i can adb push in place of this one? Also what do i have to do to get EVERY website to display in pc mode? because even with the bestbrowser.apk i still would go to some sites like walmart and im being directed to walmart iphone beta. Anyone else experiencing browser lagging?
One thing that really annoys me is when I open in a new window, then close that window and go back to previous it always refreshes. I hate that.
Do you have the latest radio update installed?
Yeah i do have the latest radio, i always update to the latest radio. same prob

It refreshes if you switch to another app and switch back too, I figure it must be some kind of timer based on when the browser window was last viewed.
And I don't hate it, I loath it, it annoys me no end.

Run the AdFree app I wrote, it won't fix keystroke lag but it will get rid of a lot/most ads which will speed up other aspects of your browsing.
disabling java script would make it a little faster.
also overclocking would make it faster.
if you want to display PC version of the website goto URL "about:debug" don't search hit the "go" button. then hit menu settings in the bottom you'll see UAString, select Desktop. You may have to do this every time you start the browser because it doesn't stay. what you can do is set "about:debug" as your home page, so it'll enable debug menu when go to go home page.

[Q] Market Notifications

Do Market notifications work for anyone? Or is it a known Android issue? Never worked for me and I'm on wifi/cell towers about 50/50.
Does it work in 2.3? I've never seen it work on 2.1 or 2.2. I've only seen it pop up in the notification area when manually checking/downloading an update. (thanks Google! -eye roll-)
Rarely it will pop up for me when I open the market and don't go to my apps. But almost every time its popped up for me was because I went to my apps.
I was really hoping Androids implementation of this would be better than iOS. Especially when froyo let you update all or enable auto update. In reality I think iOS is better (in this one tiny area), because if you open the app store you instantly see updates are available. But in android if you don't go to my apps sometimes it will take several minutes of browsing the market before you are notified.

I rarely get any Market notifications unless I'm at My Apps in the Market app and let it sit there for a while. It'd be pretty nice if I got notified to update my apps before I go into the Market though, I agree.
always have worked for me whenever i open the Market

Thats the thing....they way the market was sold....so to speak....is that you would get a notification, whenever any app you have installed has an update. Seems most everyone gets that notification after they manually check. Thats what happens with me.
Could it be because you're shutting down the market app? I know that's what happens with all my other apps that have notifications. You only receive them if you don't "close" the app, but instead leave it running in the background.

That can't be it because Android judges on it's own what should be shut down based on the memory it needs I think. In other words, I never closed it.
These guys found a way to kick start it a while back, but I can't find the files to do the same for us.

I think Demonic240's referring to the difference between exiting any app (i.e. Market) using the back button until reaching Home versus 1 clicking away to home or another app. The difference is measurable in Task Manager. Method two: Market still runs. Method one: Market closed.

Gotcha. Regardless, I don't see any point in having update Notifications if it requires you to keep the Market app running constantly. I assumed Google had it connected to one of the basic Android services that always run in the background.
In the link in my last post, they talk about a value in a settings.db that triggers a CheckinService. Stuff that I can't find on our phones.
It's an interesting question. I got notifications regularly in 2.1 and can't recall when I got one in 2.2. I kept background data enabled under both.
Checking Manage Applications, Market Updater 1.0 only shows up when viewing All, and appears to be a dead service even when Market is running. I never checked it under 2.1 because it appeared to work.
Mine has never worked...only when I open the market does it decide to tell me I have a update!
Do you mean popup in notification bar or is there actually a popup that comes up. I only see notification never saw a popup.

Only in notification bar is what's expected. And it doesn't happen.

[Q] help...stuck at setup accounts

long story short, my bro did somethin w/ my phone & it stopped working...only worked shortly after battery pulls
so i factory reset and it works but im stuck at setup accounts and it keeps looping when i set up gps and goes back to backup assistant. Any way to get by this? the error says My Accounts (process com.motorola.setup) has stopped
also, i know the phone is working cuz i can get online(by using voice serch), pull notif bar down and go into wifi, gmail, & texts, etc
anyone???

Do you have the desk dock? If you do, plug it in, and go into productivity mode. There is an app drawer there. Go to the market, and install your launcher of choice. Actually, if you do voice search, look for a launcher pro apk. That'll work too.
anyone got a solution? please help.. even i am stuck at the same spot... dont know what app's i need to RE-install...
thanks
If you can get to your dialer (I had to use the Visual Voicemail setup to pull it up, then when it closes back to setup accounts, I held down home to get to the recent apps screen, select dialer from there) use the mic button to access voice commands. Say "go to market" it will pull up market. Download a different launcher, and then when you hit home, it will give you the choice to go back into Setup or your new launcher. Go to the launcher. You can take it from there...
Was the phone rooted? If so - did you remove any apps from /system/app?
Yes and yes. I had backed them up with TiBu, but the restore didn't work as planned so I found a dump of the system/app folder here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-3-hacks/167677-removing-bloatware-2.html#post1705285
yea i figured it out by trial & error Sat with a lil help from techdigital on another forum...altho i hadnt removed anything...stupid ass setuo apk lol
that helps... yay.
By the way if you tap each of the corners of android welcome screen starting from the top left (haven't tested on d3 but works on others) in order it bypasses setup altogether.

[Q] Issue with recent apps screen

Hi,
I'm having a weird issue when I'm in the recent apps screen. I'm not sure why, but as you can see from the photos, there is an ugly message showing up saying: "couldn't load widget" that specifically only appears when the there are apps present in the recent apps menu. I've had the google search app disabled since I upgraded to 5.0.2, but the message keeps showing even if I re-enable it. Further more, a family member also has the z3 compact and I can see that the google search bar doesn't appear on his phone in the recent apps menu even if it is enabled, so in his case the rrecent app menu on his phone doesn't show any widget whatsoever, regardless of whether he has the google search app enabled or not.
I'm no phone expert so I thought the best place to go would be the XDA forums, so I'm hoping you guys can help me figure out how to make this ugly text go away. The only thing that I tried to do, without any results, was to wipe the cache partition.
Thanks
It's just a guess, but I see some mini-widget icons I do not recognize from my phone. Perhaps it has something to do with those?

These are just some additional mini-apps that I have installed. I doubt they'd cause something like this though.
Anyone?

[Q] Constant ads on Moto X

Sorry if this is noob questions, but all the time on my phone, google play will open up to a random game/app while I'm doing other things. Specific examples:
When I'm using talk to text-- the microphone will grab half of what I'm saying, freeze, and then switch to google play with "uber" up or something.
When I'm typing a text message, google play will pop up.
When i wake up the the morning, and go to turn off the alarm, there is an ad in the way, and I have to press home, open clock to turn off the alarm.
These are the three most common instances where the ads come up, and it's just super annoying. Does anyone have any suggestions to get this to stop?
Thanks in advance!!
Must be an app you installed recently. Try checking Google Play reviews of apps you have on your phone (look for reviews with similar complaints).

As said above it's probably an app . I had a similar problem long back . It's usually from an ad supported app that runs in the background (eg: Applocker or equivalent, photo hiding app , another telephony app like full screen caller HD or something) .So check which apps are running in the background before you start un-installing :good:
surely an app....
If you're a normal user, you need to revisit you Installed Apps and find out! (some app which has lot of Permissions is doing this, ignore them in future)
If you have root, AdAway would be handy.
If you have root+Xposed, MinMinGuard will do the job.
It's surely an app. Try installing this, will tell you which app are pushing ads to your phone, then you can uninstall them.
