Apps keep crashing

I'm running 5.1 stock. I've had the turbo for a while with no problems, but recently random apps keep crashing for no apparent reason. I haven't made any major changes to the phone or installed any new apps but it keeps doing this. Textra will crash to the contact list screen after 3-4 seconds of looking at a contact thread. Yik Yak will close to the home screen with no error message after a few seconds. Facebook will open to the logo and a blue screen as if it's trying to load something but then it just crashes to the homescreen. The camera won't open and will give a message "Unfortunately, Photos has stopped.". Not every app does this either - Reddit Sync works fine, Fenix is ok, Stock Messenger is ok, snapchat will act up on occasion, and everything else is OK. This happened once before and I did a factory reset and everything was working fine for 2 weeks until it just started happening again. I cleared my cache partition with no luck. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this or know a potential fix? I've searched everywhere and I can't find anyone experiencing the same problems and if they are the problems are so vague I'm not finding them. I'm running 5.1 stock.

I got the same problem yesterday, I kept getting the "sorry blank has stopped" box over and over. Now the phone seemed to be dead. A couple times during the day it just went black and wouldn't start without a hard reboot. This morning it is completely dead, I missed my alarm because the phone seems to be bricked. Never had any issues with it, I've had it for like 6-8 months. Guess it's dead?

App opening lag when clicking on notification

Anyone experience lag in opening an app when a notification comes through?
When I click on notification for some apps, it'll take anywhere between 3-10min to open. Only happens on some apps. Viber and smartthings are 2 that I have noticed this issue on.

I've noticed some slight lag in apps opening from their notification, but that's measured in seconds, not minutes.

I've noticed a lag of about 45 seconds once or twice. Usually a reboot will resolve it but it could be an errant app or especially if it's trying to retrieve something from the web before showing the window and you have no connection temporarily (poor programming practice) etc...

Only with Secure Folder and only after updating apps in that folder.

Hmm... Maybe an uninstall and reinstall of those apps.. Will try it out once I have a chance to backup.. Must be the way I use my phone.. As same issue was happening on previous phone I was on..

Exactly same failure here. But not minutes, just a lot of seconds. I can click on the notification and then wait, and wait, and wait, open other apps, navigate, and then, suddenly, the app of the notification opens. Very annoying. Lots of apps having this issue.
Reboot the movile solve the issue, but it returns few hours later.
I have never formatted the movile yet, and updated from nougat to oreo. If anyone give us a solution, I think I will format the mobile.
I see there is few people answering this thread, maybe few people having this issue...

never happens at all to me

I have never had this issue, all apps open quicly when clicking their notification

Same here. Stock, updated from Nougat to Oreo.
On my device only notifications from the Play Store cause lag.
It is not that often, therefore I keep calm

I am also having this exact same issue on my Note 9 with 8GB of ram, running Pie O.S. and it is driving me crazy! Someone PLEASE help us figure this one out!
I have wiped phone cache in recovery, even the cache for certain apps, rebooted the phone and in some cases even cleared app data and STILL have this problem.
Thanks.

Factory reset might solve all these.

Thanks for the suggestion, however I always save that option as an absolute last resort.
Hopefully someone has experienced this and has a solution short of a FDR.
Anyone?...

I encountered issues like that more than once. Narrowed it down to /data that causes the issue to happen, as OS reinstall without userdata wipe changed absolutely nothing. OS version doesn't matter. 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 behaved the same.
I've also found that when the said thing happens, you can probably notice another things happening, such as the prompt (when you open terminal emulator app) appears after seconds or sometimes even minutes.
Call recording apps start recording at least few seconds into the call, so short calls in some cases won't be registered at all.
Banking apps will notify the user about ie. incoming transfers with a slight delay.
It's like events - external and internal - get stuck somehow. They can also pile up if you, for example, start another instance in app - you click a button a few times and after some time you'll get those few instances starting instantaneously and simultaneously, just as if somebody lifted leg from a brake pedal. It doesn't have much sense - every single one should be delayed by approx. the same amount of time, but they clearly are not.
Anyway, I'd be very happy if we could figure out what causes that, because doing a complete wipe, even with help of Titanium Backup regarding the restore (did that once, worked perfectly), is not something I'm looking forward to.

I continue to have this issue on my note 9..and now on my note10 plus the issue has returned after over a month of use.. Sigh.. I've completely turned off battery optimisation but no luck..

P20 Pro Vibrates Randomly

So, over the last few weeks I've found that my P20 Pro vibrates for no (known reason), every now and again. Usually multiple times per day.
I've tried turning it off and back on, killing the apps, checking for updates, turning notifications off on most apps.
Has anyone had a similar problem and /or has any way of diagnosing or fixing it?

I have experienced the same thing, so you're not totally alone if that helps. I haven't found the cause yet either. I suspect it might be WiFi+ vibrating when the source switches back and forth so it'll happen in stints for me.

i have the same thing and i think i might found the reason, i have some muted WhatsApp chat groups and it seems like that every now and then when i get messages in these groups my phone vibrates although i muted them . There is no notification but a short vibration.
Another thing that bothers me more is when receiving an whats app message my phone vibrates once short and after that the way i set it up in the settings...

I begin to get it after an update. hope to see a solution soon.

No
I believe I've found the cause and solution to the Huawei mate 20 pro random vibrations.
I installed a notification logger from the play store and found that it was logging notifications of repetitive image downloads completing that lined up with every buzz.
If you go into settings, apps and choose to see system apps in the menu, you can force close the download and download manager apps. If you then clear the data and cache from each, you should find the phantom notifications stop.
I haven't had one in days now, and it was all the time.
I hope this is of help.

This happens to me a lot. Its mainly due to voice recognition thinking I'm am speaking to the phone. It happens randomly when watching TV, at work on even in the train. There's no specific key work that triggers it,. It happens at random. This is my issue with the random vibration but your could be a different reason although

Mine was definitely the download manager continuously redownloading Google photos images. Force stop, clear data, clear cache of the download and download manager system apps and mine has been fine now for a week. Try it!

Had the same issue months ago. Cleaning cache and data of stock download manager app solved it for me.

Mine started doing same yesterday ?

I have the mate 20 pro, and it's just started randomly vibrating with no notification
So my phone is now starting to randomly vibrate like bursts of short vibrations that last a while, but there's no notifications or anything? I don't know how to find the "download manager" to check if it's that. I'm not sure which apps to force stop. It's really annoying though.

Do you use Textra? Happened to my wife's s8 and she just uninstalled then reinstalled Textra to make the problem go away.

I have cleared the download manager and everything else several times, but it only works for few days even hours and starts again. I'm not sure if it activities itself again after I download something, but nevertheless, this just shouldn't happen. How can I disable download manager permanently (or preferably just the vibrations, as I assume DM is there for a reason)

Had the same issue. No problem from textra, for me it was google drive. I uninstalled it, cleared cahe and data and I am now using OneDrive. I haven't experienced any random vibrations since then.

Mate 20 X had similar issue after EMUI 9.1 upgrade and turned out to be contacts sync system app constantly trying to sync contacts. Force stop and cleared data and all good now.

I have the same issue on regular mate 20 since the last software update to EMUI 9.1.0. All the suggested solutions here did not resolve the issue. If someone has more suggestions please share

I fixed it. It's a system application called "Contacts Sync" disabling it solved the issue for me.
Settings > apps > show system processes > search for Contacts Sync > disable and force close it

This didnt work for me, but i found another solution. I stopped almost all apps from autostart. except email and messangers. that immediately solved the issue and the phone boots much faster as well, nice sideeffect
You need to go into battery usage and then click on the individual app, then app launch.
I hope that helps

I just noticed this on my mate 20x on 9.1 on vibrate mode. Did your solution permanently resolve this issue or do you have to do it multiple times or after restarts?

Yes it did. I force close it and disabled it from app settings. Never came back

Google Apps constantly stop working/ Cellphone often crashing

I have been experiencing a problem with my X4 lately. Suddenly, Google Apps such as Youtube, Google Chrome, Youtube Music, Play Store, even GMAIL started to crash. Out of the blue, they just close, sometimes they close and report that "app x stopped working", and often "Google Play Services stopped working" and this pretty much makes the cellphone unusable, the apps won't open anymore, not even a reboot would solve it. Sometimes apps as Facebook, Instagram, the Native Camera, even SETTINGS will crash. Following this crashes, sometimes the cellphone will just shut off the display and crash, only coming back after a forced reboot (BUT, as strange as it may seem, the long press on the power button works just fine and the display wakes but only showing shut off and reboot options).
I was experiencing this problem with the stock Android 9 ROM. I then removed my google account, wiped it, did a factory reset for a couple times, did not work. I flashed the stock ROM, but the problems only got worse. Then i flashed the Pixel Experience w/ Android 10 using the latest TWRP, same problems happened, with a clean installation, wiped everything. I used it for a couple of months, but the crashes were just increasing over time.
I then installed the Lineage OS 18.1 on Android 11 on my X4; Same thing, clean installation, wiped everything, removed all Google Accounts, flashed the latest GAPPS. Boy oh boy, it was smooth like butter on the beginning (i recommend this ROM very much), one week goes by and the same crashes come back again, every once in a while. I just can't figure what could be causing the crashes, same issues with 4 different roms!
If anyone please has experienced this or know how could i fix it, it would help me very much. Thank y'all for your attention.
Next time it happens i will try and take a screenshot to post here.

Did you ever get a solution to this? I am having the same issue.

Question Maps keeps crashing

Google maps crashes constantly and only occasionally works. Has this happened to a gone else or is there a fix?

Nope. It hasn't crashed on me so far. I use it every day for commuting and it's worked fine (am on BUKG)
It's janky and much more laggy on A12 as compared to A11, especially when moving the screen around and having a media app playing, but except for that stutteriness, it does the job. Doesn't crash. Not so far, at least.

Do you have a Hex-Theme enabled? If yes, you need to disable it, to make Maps working again. But be aware, if you disable your Theme one OneUI 4, you can't apply it again (it will reset after 10 Minutes).

Have you tried FC then clearing app storage in settings?
(I occasionally get repeat FC in Maps after a google cloud restore when setting up a new phone and clear storage resolves it).
