I have an lg gpad, and I keep getting the crash of system ui. The tablet is unusable until I do a restart of the device. It happens every time I cast either YouTube or other casting apps and I pull the notification panel down. That starts the crash right away. I've factory restored my Chromecast, factory reset tablet, with fresh install of all apps. I am stumped and getting really annoyed at this issue. Any help in a resolution would be greatly appreciated.
Make sure your apps and Google Play Services are updated. They work hand-in-hand.

Updating them did not help. There is a work around, at least for YouTube. Go find the APK for an app called OG YouTube and use the OLD version (4.x)
There's no cue, but you can Chromecast without crashing the entire planet.
I bought the Note Pro with the intent to Chromecast. I feel so ripped off right now, especially since it worked for a little while when I got it. Then an update came down and broke it all. I've read elsewhere that the devs don't seem to give a crap about it, claiming there is no report of the issue even though many many many users are online complaining about it.

That's a bit unfair to the devs, IMO. Chromecast is dependent on so many moving parts that things go haywire when major updates roll out. It's much like when Facebook does back-end updates, unfortunately.
The major moving parts are:
Cast SDK
Chromecast firmware (build number)
Google Play Services
App
Not to mention the individual devices running the Chromecast-enabled app(s).
Until they're all synced up with the correct version "set" things tend to be wacky, and because the Chromecast app whitelist is essentially "live" and I don't think Chromecast has a defined way to know the service or device properties...
tl;dr - give it a few days. Likely it will magically all start working - unless there's something else at fault in the configuration.
Being that it seems the prior version of YouTube works, it may simply be a bug introduced in the update.

Thanks Bubble... Argh, I just upgraded to 4.4.2, but this may explain why the recent Netflix update disabled hardware volume control even on 4.3
What's the deal with t-mobile S6 DNS name resolution...
If I'm on wifi (anyone's wifi, not just through my AC1900 Nighthawk) anything that requires some sort of name resolution is slow as hell? For example, when browsing websites (and is especially prominent using the Samsung browser, but not as much with others), there are 2-15 second delays before a website that has not been loaded before will come up. Another example is any game that connects frequently to a server (like google play or game data servers) somewhere like Summoners War or Star Wars Uprising (the only two games I generally play). They games will sit and do nothing on a black screen or spinning icons forever and adds 30+ seconds on simple stuff like starting the game. It only does it on WIFI. The phone is completely stock on latest lollipop, however it has done it for all prior releases too.
How do I know it's a DNS issue? Because if I use DNSSet (On Google Play Store). Everything, including games, suddenly works as it should with no delays.. Yes it fixes the problem I'm having, but I SHOULDN'T have to!! I've reset to factory, 3 times now and re-installed every app in testing, and it's always there. it pisses me off to no end as it won't go away!
Does anyone else have the latency with WIFI DNS name resolution? Can someone else try this? Using the Samsung browser (because it's the worst offender), go into the app manager and clear the browser cache. Now on "WIFI" manually enter some site and time how long before it opens it (On mine the sites take an extra 4-10 secs to load). Turn off the WIFI, do the same cache clear on 4G LTE and it's much faster to load web pages. As I mentioned, WIFI DNS name resolution seems to affect all web-related browsing, but shows less impact with other web browsers. Now if I load DNSset that I mentioned above, the name-resolution latencies are all gone.. but I don't want to have to use DNSSet as it messes up my work corporate WIFI connections.
After 4+ months with this phone, I am so tired of stupid little issues...
Update 09.12.17: The methods below may not fully work on the latest OS versions. There is an ongoing discussion in the last pages so I hope it gets cleared out eventually, sadly I've been busy with my studies and haven't touched my phone since initially making this thread (it's on OOS 4.0.2). I write this just to make sure I don't waste your time accidentally, so please check the latest replies if you're on newer OS versions.
Hello everybody,
*the undermentioned methods and app(s) require root*
I have asked you guys in the AKT thread if you would like to see a small tutorial on how to stop the constant "com.google.android.gms/.measurement.PackageMeasurementService" and "net_scheduler" wakelocks that might or might not be responsible for the device waiting longer than it should before dozing off.
Please keep in mind that this method does work for me, and might or might not work for you, as everybody uses different things/apps so in case you see unwanted behavior, just revert back and sigh that the method has failed you.
I am not responsible for any hardware-/software damage that may occur upon using these settings.
So, now that we've got all the generic stuff out of the way, first few words about why this might bother you:
1) You don't like your device doing stuff you didn't make it do.
2) You want to minimize wakelocks
3) You're here because you just saw the two beforementioned wakelocks and already decided you want to get rid of them.
So, regarding the first one, all I can say is I got the method from this reddit post , which briefly explains which services are doing the waking and what they are. Starting with "At the heart of Firebase is Firebase Analytics, a free and unlimited analytics solution. .." got me raising an eyebrow, as I don't like handling control of my device to other people, without me even knowing.
UPDATE: I have merged the two approaches into just using one app and making the changes on a global level, so you can just do them in like 5 minutes and forget about it, but in case you have problems with disabling package measurement you can also check the hidden text just below for instructions using another app, which was basically "the old way".
So to get rid of the "snooping", as already described in that post, you need to download MyAndroidTools.
Disclaimer: Disabling some services/receivers may "crash" the app. I found it is normal, just go back to where you were and check if you managed to disable the thing you wanted, if yes, then it was successful.
1. Open the app
2. Click on the top left to open the panel, click on Broadcast Receiver.
3. On the menu that opens go to the right column named System. Click search on the top right, type "Play" and choose the Google Play Services option.
4. In the search bar there type at least "ana" and disable the two found results with the names "AnalyticsReceiver" and "AnalyticsSamplerReceiver"
5. Hit x and search again for at least "meas". You will see three results with the names "AppMeasurementInstallReferrerReceiver", "AppMeasurementReceiver" and "PackageMeasurementReceiver*". Disable all three.
****Update 15.02.17*** Apparently this one resets every once in a while, I blame this again on Google's efforts to have their spying on, but anyways. Go to services->system->Google Play Services->search "meas"->disable both "AppMeasurementService" and "MeasurementBrokerService". The third one (PackageMeasurementService) will restart too so don't bother. This should do the trick though.
6. There was discussion about "Campaign Tracking" . I only found it in the same System menu, in Android Pay, by searching at least "cam" you get the result "CampaignTrackingReceiver". Disable it if you feel you want to. I don't use Android Pay and cannot say if it breaks something there, but otherwise have it disabled and haven't noticed any problems so far.
7. Search for Google Play Store in System. In that option, search for at least "app" and disable "AppMeasurementReceiver". Hit x and search for at least "fir", then disable the two results with names "FirebaseInstanceIdInternalReceiver" and "FirebaseInstanceIdReceiver"
8. Done. All the setttings are now global for any sort of app measurements, as far as I know.
This is the "old way" of dealing with app measurement. If you have done the steps above just ignore (hide) this part and continue with disabling net_scheduler below.
So to get rid of the "snooping", as already described in that post, you need to download Root Package Disabler or equivalent alternative.
ATTENTION: As per the last version of the app, I see there might be a bug which reverts some settings when you use the search bar, so please try and find the services by hand in stead of searching, as it is more reliable.
1. Open the app
2. Start with the left-most pane, e.g. "Installed". There you can see all your installed apps
3. Click on the first app on the list, it will display a small menu. Apps that use services will have the bottom-left option named "SERVICES" available, click there. This will take you to the services list that this app uses.
4. Click on the searching icon on the top-right in order to filter the services we need disabling.
5. Write at least "appm" . If the AppMeasurementService is used by this app, it will now be displayed.
6. Tick that off (the switch will turn gray)
7. Hit x, and search again for at least "fireb". This will display all services that use the Firebase SDK. You may also check under the name of the service and see the word is contained in the "executable name", so it might not always have "an official" name that states Firebase, but still use one of their "executables" (sorry for lack of detail)
7.1 Check for any other services that have "analytics" in their description, although I haven't checked if this stops something useful, but I doubt it.
8. When you're done with the current app, it will no longer call these services and cause wakelocks as long as the services remain stopped. To my experience the settings stay after reboot, it's just the above mentioned bug you have to keep in mind since it happened to me now while making the guide, and I know it came with the latest update.
9. Go back to the installed pane and maybe tick on the star next to the app in question. It will be added to the "favourite" list where you can have all those apps and don't bother to search them again if needed.
10. Repeat from step 1 for the next app and go through all your apps. If not you will still get calls to this service from the apps that still have these services on. Also a reminder here, you have to remember and check every new app you install, as most apps do have the service enabled.
11. After you're done with all apps in "Installed", check out bloatware (I think I haven't found anything there, but it's worth checking).
12. "System" apps that I know have some of those services: Calendar, (probably) Chrome (I have that disabled so dunno), Drive, Duo, Gboard, Google Play Services, Google Play Store, Google VR Services.
Here are two pictures how an app's services list looks like, and one with some of the services disabled:
all services on
some services off
After doing these steps, you should charge your battery to 90% to reset the battery statistics and you should see that the "com.google.android.gms/.measurement.PackageMeasurementService" wakelock no longer occurs (or stays really, really low, and not thousands like before). If you still have it after all this, then you probably have an app you haven't disabled the services for.
The second approach will get rid of the "net_scheduler" wakelock. Thanks to @denon480 for the idea, it's post #34 in this thread It involves installing (again) MyAndroidTools or equivalent alternative.
1. Open the app
2. Click on the top left corner to open the menu panel.
3. Click on Broadcast Receiver
4. Navigate to the System pane
5. Click on search on the top right. Search for Google Play Services. Click on them when they show up
6. In the search top right, write at least "sche" and you will see the two receivers responsible for the "net_scheduler" wakelock, "SchedulerInternalReceiver" and "SchedulerReceiver" . Here's a picture how it looks
7. Switch the first one off. The app will quit, don't worry.
8. Go back to where you were (steps 1 to 6) . You will see that you indeed managed to swtich that receiver off.
9. Switch the second one off. The app will quit, again no worries.
10. Check if you managed to switch the second one as well. After that you're done!
I hope I could help you guys out. I know there is nothing fancy in these methods but felt a thread might be useful as I saw a good number of requests when I mentioned it in the AKT thread.
Also sorry for misleading the guys I already told it was going to be a short guide, I honestly thought it would take way less words than it did. But I think it is for the better.
Have fun.

Going through this guide, I was able to get the services disabled through root package disabler, bit my android tools kept force closing for some reason.
*edit* uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, and was able to get the app to stay open, and got them disabled. I'm curious to see what my wake locks are going to look like tomorrow. This is pretty much the nougat answer to amplify, huh? =)

Hope it gets rid of those for you too. If I remember correctly I noticed the problem since Nougat, but then again I've been on Android since only a few months, coming from a big pause. Last time I was around we were rocking the HTC HD2 and had to deal with very different problems.

Crazy how much of a beast that phone was. People forget it's actually a windows phone, Android was put on it so much lol!
Thanks for the tips. Works great!
Thank you for your awesome work!
I have two more questions:
1. What about CampaignTrackingService? Could we disable this one as well?
2. In MyAndroidTools under Broadcast Receiver there are lots of receivers like AppMeasurementReceiver or FirebaseInstanceIdReceiver. They also need to be disabled or disabling the corresponding service is sufficient?
Thank you very much

1. I initally disabled that in a few apps and didn't have problems System-wide or with the apps. So you can give it a go and in case of apps not functioning you can revert those back.
2. No for now it's okay to just use the Package Disabler for that. Like I said both apps have similiar functionality, there's probably a way to find the right service/receiver and disable it globally from MyAndroidTools, then we won't need the Package Disabler. But since it did work for me and I don't install new apps more than like once a week, I just didn't bother figuring it out. I can only say that disabling certain services/activities in MyAndroidTools can brake functionality or even bootloop your device, so be very careful in case you wanna find out if it's possible.

Thank you for your quick response. I'll give it a try, if anything goes wrong I'll let you know.
Is there any difference between Package Disabler and Disable Service app? I've tried the former, but it was really buggy. Scrolling was so glitchy and with lots of stutters that I've accidentally disabled few services. So I've used Disable Service with success. Now I only wonder whether both apps have the same functionality. Do you happen to know that?
Thanks in advance

Assuming you're disabling services, which we are lol (should've been more obvious for me too I guess), I'd say you should be fine, and even say maybe the same goes for just using MyAndroidTools, just scroll through the Service menu in Table Third-Party and you'll see the same settings you applied with the other app/Package Disabler. I guess I was lazy to realize that since I liked I can favourite the apps I need to keep an eye on in the Package Disabler.
So all in all you should be okay, but even better you may try and just use MyAndroidTools for both. I have some exams coming so I won't be able to test those things but will make sure to update the tutorial if indeed that turns out to be right (for the app you suggested or even just MyAndroidTools).
Give a shout in case you find out something more. And thanks for the info
Followed the guide, thanks for this like said before kind of amplify for nougat. But as I was disabling net.schedule I noticed "my android tool" can do the fire base and app activity. Under service activity and press <...>
I suppose that this two methods doesn't compromise any function of the device right? For example loosing notifications or similar

Like mentioned, it works fine for me, and probably depends on personal usage. I don't use Google Pay for example, and Chrome, and Google Music.... but besides those I haven't had problems anyway.
Disabled everything that is said to do in this thread and it worked great while I was at home while on wifi. I had drain of .5% an hour at times. However today while at work and on LTE, drain went up to 2.6% an hour, plus wakelocks from play services was waking up the device on average over 3 times a minute. When I looked into it further there was one service under play services where all the alarms were coming from. I do have a screenshot of this. Anyone have any insight to this? For the record, I do keep location off on my device.
Edit: I wonder f it comes from moving around a lot, as I'm always on the move as I manage a restaurant. Its not really a major drain, but still makes me wonder.

Have you disabled location history in the Google App? The problem is this guide fixes only one concrete aspect of the whole "Google stalking experience" shenanigans. Please check for the thing I mentioned and also in Settings -> Backup & Reset, make sure Back up my data is off if you haven't logged in an account and intend to use that - these two things were also draining battery for me when I was on the go as far as I can remember.

I did some checking on that list and am currently testing a way to only use MyAndroidTools for the whole aproach. If it turns out to be working the whole guide would get reduced to like 10 clicks, since the settings are global. I'll post more info after a day or so to make sure it is working, but as for now I see promising results.
Anyone used Franco's Servicely app to do this?
Up, I have updated the guide to just using MyAndroidTools and disabling the receivers on a global scale. So now you just have to do it once and (hopefully) forget about it.

Don't know what you mean by #1 - disabling the AppMeasurement stuff, e.g. first set of instructions? I haven't had problems with Gmail and I use it with two accounts on there.
Since I got on Android Pie (official release; phone isn't rooted, Exynos), I've noticed something strange going on with Samsung Internet's download manager.
When I try to download a file - for example, from APKMirror (or any other site for that matter) - the usual file confirmation dialogue pops up. However, when I click DOWNLOAD, the download doesn't appear to initiate properly. That is, when I pull down the notification shade, I can see that the download is paused even though I didn't pause it myself and, when I click resume, it shows the progress bar for a short while, then the notification suddenly disappears and it's gone. I've tried it for multiple files. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
EDIT: It seems like for whatever reason, both the latest release channels for Sammy Internet and Google Chrome on Google Play have file download issues.
I tried the Sammy Beta and it works just fine. It's kind of strange that Sammy would release its Pie update with an incompatible browser in its release channel -- not to mention, the current release edition isn't even on One UI like the Beta. Not everyone would think of using the Beta.
EDIT 2: The Sammy IB release on the Galaxy Apps store works fine as well and is styled in One UI fashion. Again, it's strange that the Pie patch didn't include an updated Browser.
Experiencing the same issue.
It only occurs for me when i set the save location of the downloads to SD card.
Both on Google Chrome (stable) and Samsung internet (default)
Same , I blamed pie.

Off topic, but saw your location. Brought up some memories playing paintball at Gotcha at the Alpadi Estate when visiting family. It's been a few years, but I can't wait to get back there.
Ok, carry on.
Had similar issues with Chrome, turning off the storage permission off and back on fixed it for me a couple times now.
Facing same issue.. Any updates?
The major irritation for me is when pasting something to the search bar. Try it and see what happens.View attachment 4731466

Try clearing cache & data to return all settings to stock in the browser. Then before launching Make sure to enable ALL permissions, and turn off any battery optimization or power saving features and see if that helps. Maybe app is being paused by power saving settings, or if you are letting screen shut off and go into sleep this could be an issue too. I use ADM because of the auto-resume & multithreaded downloads to get top speeds. My browser on pie works fine, used sammy, chrome, opera, and duckduck. No issues on my snapdragon SM-N960W of this sort. Best of luck finding a fix.
We work with Samsung often. The issue is of downloads paused or fail is involved with how security properties are stacked, while Samsung Browser node connections recognized. Set all the permissions off, all of them. Then go to download a image on the net and with Samsung Browser asking by pop up to turn on storage permissions then is fixed. Notice there is many suggestions how to fix on the net and most will not work.
Just got the p30 pro and it's a bit of a learning curve to access features from a oneplus.
1) Is it possible to access location mode on the p30pro?
In my older phones, I had access to 'High accuracy', 'Battery saving' and 'Device only'.
Can't seem to find that setting here.
2) The authentication page for a public WIFI network forces login via the huawei browser.
My default browser is set to Chrome, but it doesn't state so in default apps.
i don't wish to use the huawei browser. Is this a problem with EMUI not recognising I've set the default browser to chrome , or is there some other way of forcing the automatic authentication to use chrome instead of the huawei browser?
3) Does the front camera have zoom?
4) Can wallpapers be disabled?
cheers
1. Remember seeing it somewhere before but cant seem to find it now lol. Will update this shortly.
2. Settings- Search Default apps - Change browser to Chrome or whichever you want. Then it should open chrome by default
3. No zoom on the front camera and i guess no one zooms in on a selfie. Take a picture and crop it.
4. What you mean by wallpapers be disabled ? The megazine unlock ?
1. Please do.
2. I tried numerous times. It seems like the settings don't save the default app to chrome. It just remains as "default" which I assume is the Huawei browser. Maybe it's a bug?
3. I found another installed huawei app called mirror. That has zoom.
4. I meant I want a black or no background. Just plain.
Thanks.

2. Default is chrome... if it is set to Huawei Browser, it changes in default apps to Huawei Browser. If it is using Huawei Browser for Wifi Login this is similiar "bug" if you can call it that to iPhone using Safari for wifi even though chrome can be used for everything else... its probably has to do with the integration of the phone settings pack since it has to be something always on the phone in case you need it... since Huawei browser can't be uninstalled, this is probably the case...
3. Does mirror actually take pictures?
4. Just get a black box picture jpg or png and set as background... :good:

1. Think it's controlled by huawei's system so no way to change it, the one i saw was on my s10 plus. Im sorry, made a mistake.
2. I think they made it that way , can't try it my self here since there's no hotspot to test it out. Its like some china phones, when you install google keyboard and when it comes to type it the password, it reverts back to their stock keyboard.
3. Removed mirror app as soon as i booted it up after purchase
4. As mahst68 mentioned above, google amoled pure black wallpaper and then it will be all black.
1. Yes. Mine was on one plus. Useful.
2. Ah. Chrome is default. OK. Terrible implementation to force it to use the Huawei browser for authentication. Will have to live with it for now.
3. It does. Single tap to "pause" and you can save the shot. No fancy features like the camera, but it does have selection of borders. Not my thing. I just stick with borderless.
4. I guess that's a workaround that'll have to work.
Thanks for all the help so far.

On regards no.2, you can easily resolve it by removing the stock browser via ADB. Plenty of guides here , especially on the mate 20 forum

Good to hear this! I looked into this a little yesterday but can't do it on the computer I'm on because I don't have admin access.
Also good to know that it won't bugger anything else.
Once I'm done transferring all the data, I'll look into tidying up the apps and this will be one of those I'll do first.
I'll also need to look into whether I still require Es file explorer or whether the huawei privatespace and safe functions are good enough to lock away folders, files from prying eyes.

Good to hear this! I looked into this a little yesterday but can't do it on the computer I'm on because I don't have admin access.

IMHO, i find Huawei's private space and safe to be better than other third party apps out there but obviously it's not up to par with Samsung KNOX yet. Hye, you can't win them all eh
