Problems downloading since Oreo update - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hoping someone can help with an issue I've noticed since upgrading to 8.0. When trying to download a file from Google Drive or any other app that attempts to place it in the Downloads folder nothing will happen. After around 5 minutes Google Drive will give me a connection failed notification, other apps will just fail silently. So far I've tried: clearing cache and data for download manager, deleting and recreating the downloads folder and even a full factory reset. After resetting things seemed to work as normal for a few hours but eventually - same old problem. Does anyone have any ideas?

I had same issue. Some apps acting funny with Oreo. I just downgraded Google drive and problem gone.

Update: Figured out that the issue is using a VPN. Used the same setup on 7.0 with no issues but for some reason on Oreo some apps don't play nice with certain adblock apps that use local VPN's.

[Q] Forced closes - 2

Android.process.media has stopped on boot up and also a similar message when trying to get into the cyanogenmod settings. I also noticed that wiping the system, data and cache did not truly erase all the original files and settings from the stock ROM. It connects to my wireless router without prompting for a password and also had my previous wallpaper, which I have since changed in case the file was too large and causing a problem. When I start up I have the following running automatically: Market process and service, Google services both a process and service, CMStats both a process and a service and Android Keyboard both a process and service. Is that correct? Who else is having these issues? BTW, I have 309MB of RAM free.
Tried this with the last stable CM, and nightly builds 85, 86 & 87. Same issues with all. Went into application data and cleared the cache. Cleared the cache isn the market app. Tried to reset permissions as well.
At the moment, I do not have an immediate for the CM settings, but I did install the overclocking file so I would like to try it at some point.
Also, I heard someone resolved the 1st FC by updating the market, but I can't see a way to do that other than reinstall, which I did.
Wiping the data doesn't delete original (stock) apps and settings from the ROM. It only erases and resets any apps or settings you've made personally. Sounds like you have all the correct services running at startup. I'm not really sure what's causing the FC issue. Do you have the newest version of Google Apps?
Have you tried fixing permissions via terminal emulator?

[Q] Google Play services won't start, after a factory reset.

Here is the sequence of events that led to this:
- Was prompted to get Android 5. I installed it. Never had a single problem with this phone before I did this.
- I tried to download a large game but the download kept failing. After a couple more tries, it suddenly said I was out of storage space. I checked my storage and it said 5 GB was being taken up by "System Data".
- I clear some games to make space so I can look up the problem and get any utility apps I would need. According to the Google research, the problem was with a data folder I don't have access to. I tried the *#9900# code which gave a "connection failed" error, so I was left to either do a factory reset or root my phone.
- I rooted my phone.
- Afterwards, used DiskUsage to check what was taking up so much data, about a fourth of it was Dalvik cache. Google searches instructed me to just go in and delete everything in the Dalvik folder manually, but I was scared to because I didn't want to mess up my phone (the irony). Downloaded System Cleaner ROOT in hopes it would solve it. It didn't, it just messed up all my programs. It set up a backup, so I loaded the backup and things seemed to turn back to normal. However, it did absolutely nothing to fix my full storage problem.
- Backed up a bunch of my stuff to my SD card and went for the factory reset, again thinking it would be better than if I just went and wiped a bunch of files I'm unfamiliar with. After the reset, the phone brought up that "upgrading your apps" prompt before starting. Now nothing works again, including Google Play services, which is required to get past the set-up screen.
I don't know whether it was the System Cleaner app or if it was the Lollipop that screwed things up, but my phone is now useless since I can't get past the set-up prompts. Is there anything at all that I can do? Because this is pretty bad.

Troubles with google apps connection

Over the past month I have been expiriencing issues with the google maps app. It has been saying that I have no internet whenever I try to search for anything. Very recently the google playstore also stopped working as well. I have tried several things including clearing cache and clearing hosts file except for localhost line. I also tried backing up google play services and removing it and installing it from an apk onlinw but it didnt install properly. When I tried to restore the backup (titanium backup) it didnt work properly and now all google apps are broken. Running android 4.2.2 rooted. Any help is greatly appreciated

issues with this HTC Desire since I rooted it. Could use any help!

Hello, my name is Rob and I'm new to XDA but I've used your forums before to help me root my Coolpad and this new phone (kudos)
So I bought this phone a little over a month ago and I've been super severely disappointed in it.
I'll just start off quickly by telling you a little behind my purchase...
I needed to upgrade from the Coolpad 3G that I had been using for months with Sprint's pre-paid and I was planning on getting a Samsung Galaxy.
Well they had to run my credit and I couldn't put down the $200+ deposit they wanted for the S5. So the guy brought up this HTC Desire that was on sale for $99.99 or whatever, without and research or anything I went ahead and bought it because I desperately needed a new phone with 4G capability for my new job... the sales guy sold me on it having 8 GB internal storage (Which was a huge lie... thanks, man), 1 GB of RAM, a solid quadcore processor and a decent camera.
I immediately got home and realized that there was only barely 1 Gigabyte of free storage and I about threw a fit but I knew I needed the phone so I kept it and I took the next step, (Rooting it so I could install and run link2SD)
So I went through the long, tedious process of rooting my phone and putting TWRP, superuser, etc. on it and got my link2SD going.
The day after I finished rooting my phone these errors started popping up and telling me that I had an update I needed to install and download:
(I guess I can't post the pictures I want to post on here until I make 10 posts? so I uploaded screencaps all to this directory)
http :// skakills.com /HTC/
It made it so I can't even use my Gmail or my hangouts app on the phone (Gmail being the most important) this is seriously distressing.
also , this update pops up every few hours and I have tried to install it but it just bounces me back to the recovery TWRP screen and I can't seem to figure it out.
I work a double shift at work every day, I play in 2 bands and I've scoured the internet, forums and lost tons of sleep over this, I just want to be able to use this phone for a few more months without these issues, if anyone has any kind of idea what I can do to fix the errors and get my updates installed or if there is a better option (I'm okay with wiping / resetting since my apps and pictures are all backed up) let me know ASAP, please and thank you very much!

Download an app killer/disabler of your choice (I use Titanium Backup but it's the paid version) after you install it look through all the apps on your phone and find this one "updater" and freeze/disable it and then reboot the updating will stop and the reason you can't install it is because the phone is no longer stock and you unlocked the bootloader.
Regarding the play store problem open internet and search for the latest version of play store and then download the version via internet by searching for the version to download like this Google Play version 5.8.8 APK Download and after downloading the APK install it and reboot into twrp and clear the dalvic cache and cache reboot and the problem should be gone.

I really appreciate the help as far as that update thing goes.
I guess I didn't explain the part with the GMail and the hangout apps.. it is only those apps that are affected, I guess I will try uninstalling the gmail and hangout apps again because I try to launch them but it gives the "Unknown issue with Google Play Services" error and then force closes.
Also every once in a while it is giving me a weird 'Google Music' error .
I will try to freeze that update thing with Titanium backup (I have the full version I got on my old phone I just haven't installed it on here yet)
Once again, thanks a lot I really appreciate the quick response and I hope to check more of the forums out soon.

Well if you fix the Google play store error you'll be able to update your Gmail and Hangouts apps.. I fixed them before by first fixing the play store problem. Go into twrp and select wipe and choose cache and dalvic because it will help.

Okay so I froze the 'Updater' app, rebooted and I think that it has stopped which is good.
I still am getting this Google Play Services Error every few minutes, I downloaded the Google Play .apk , installed it, rebooted into recovery and cleared the dalv and regular cache but I'm still seeing this error come up... I even tried to disable Google Play Services notifications and just accept that it won't ever go away but it is still happening. I'm still not sure of the actual cause of these errors, at least I can use GMail and Hangouts now because I just restored the factory versions.

If I were you, I'd download the entire gapps package (google apps) it's between 150 and 250MB in size and it's a zip so you can install it via recovery I'm pretty sure your problem will go away if you get the updated gapps for your phone.

Yes there is a site but no entire Google apps package is an apk it's in zip format and all you need to do is download it to your sd card and then boot into recovery and tap install then navigate to wherever you saved the download to and tap to select it for installation and after the install go back to the home page and select wipe and then on the next window select dalvic and cache then swipe the bottom to wipe them both and then reboot and you should be good to go.. Here's the package
In this package you will find the core Google system base, off-line speech files, Google Play Store, FaceUnlock, Google Bookmarks Sync, and the following Play Store applications:
Google + | Google Calendar (replaces stock/AOSP Calendar) | Google Now Launcher | Google Play services | Google Search | Google Text-to-Speech | Gmail | Hangouts | Maps | Street View on Google Maps | YouTube

Just make sure you follow the instructions exactly as I wrote them cause you need to clear the dalvic and cache so don't forget.

What rom and kernel do you happen to be using? Try this too though tap settings then apps and look for the Play Store and tap into it and then force close it and then scroll down and delete the data and when it says all user accounts will be deleted or whatever just say yes and then go back to your home and reopen the Play Store and try to use it again after it logs your account back in.
Edit: Do you see Google play services in your app list? Uninstall the update if it says to uninstall update on it and then update it again then try to use stuff.

You should try pattiboi new kernel that he put up yesterday because it's pretty smooth running and my phone is much better than it was before.. Did you uninstall updates to the Play services and try to update it again?
Edit:
Do you have titanium backup? If so I need you to download this version of Google play services and install it but first use titanium backup to fully uninstall the Google play services that's on your phone.. Here's the link for the Google play services version 8.1.15 make sure you don't tap the one that says get it on Google play store because obviously you can't use the Play Store so tap the one next to it, it looks like this "d Download" after you downloaded it install it and reboot your phone...

yes I have Titanium backup. I'll try this new kernel, yeah I tried to uninstall updates for Play services but there wasn't even an option for it.
I'll download this and run that in titanium before installing

You should try fixing your problem before going to the other kernel.
All you need to do is delete Google play services in Titanium Backup and then download the one I gave you and install and then reboot.

Android 10 Secure Folder Issue

I have just recently updated my N960N to android 10 and I have noticed that everything is working just fine. However when I attempt to update Wechat via Google Play in the Secure Folder it stalls at 71% and stays there with a "Downloading Addition Files notification". I can download Wechat normally outside the Secure Folder perfectly fine. I can also download and install any other app in the Secure Folder without any issues. I even attempted to reinstall Wechat in my Secure Folder but the results were the same. I haven't tried a Hard Factory Reset yet as I want to see if there are any other ways I can resolve this issue. Without resorting to the nuclear option.

Tried that too night. Didn't work bro. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Secure Folder same thing. I found out that the only solution was to install Wechat normally on my Note 9 and copy that install into the Secure Folder. I may need to do a Hard Factory Reset of my note 9 afterall.
