Hi
I'm kinda new around here so don't really now where to post it.
So today Google Assistant randomly appeared on my phone. I have done nothing to install it. I tried to open Google Now (via holding the Home button) and fully functional Assistant showed up. It works perfectly - just as on a Pixel device.
I'm running SliMM 3.8, obviously rooted, locked bootloader (I think). I also have 'N-ify' Xposed module installed, which I think may have something to do with that.
Anybody got any ideas how and why I suddenly got it on my phone?

Definitely it is Android N-Ify,if you want to disable it go to the N-Ify app and go to Check for Updates and click the N logo about 6 times until it says You have unlocked experimental features and then go back,open Experimental Settings and uncheck enable google assistant
I seem to have been bitten by whatever it is that's causing Note 8s to freeze. In my case, it seems to freeze when idle - case closed, always-on display showing a clock. Sometimes the digital clock - just stopped; the last time, the analog clock with the second hand ticking, but an otherwise unresponsive phone.
It seems like this is happening to other people, in a variety of other applications - and the only advice anybody is giving is to see what happens in safe mode, then uninstall applications one-by-one. All of which seems rather time-consuming, and counter-intuitive -- if a single App is freezing the system, that suggests on o/s or hardware issue -- the o/s should be isolating the rest of the system from app misbehavior.
Which leads me to wonder how one might track down what's actually going on. If this were one of our servers, I'd crank up logging and look at crash logs. But... those options don't seem to be available without rooting the phone. (Why does Google insist on making syslogs unreadable by normal users - that puts a big crimp in the ability to do any kind of real trouble diagnosis.)
Any suggestions on how to do crash analysis? Any tools that someone can recommend?
Any insight on the matter?
I have not had this problem, so I would not know how to tackle all down to pinpoint the exact culprit, but I would start by controling what apps I dont want to run in background, in maintenance>battery>always sleeping, I put all the apps I dont need to be in always running state, I would also try to unistall or freeze apps I installed just before the problem began, if you have bk disabler this is a rather easy process, as you can batch-disable/enable apps, in the end it is a trial-error exercise
You can use logcat extreme, Catlog or somthing similiar from playstore. But you need some knowless to see wat happend and root. Perhaps you can pull the log file without root to your computer with ADB.
Sounds like impending motherboard failure. My wife's S7 Edge started doing the same thing then one day it just wouldn't start up at all.
Common thing for Samsung phones unfortunately .... and if you're out of warranty they won't repair without a charge.
So, I am suddenly getting these AdChoice ads popping up on my Galaxy Note 8 (VZW).
They pop up all the time, out of nowhere, no matter what I'm doing on my device.
I haven't really installed anything new lately.
I've updated the firmware with the latest security update (OTA). And, I do recall my phone freezing up while taking a video (stock camera) around the time this may have begun to occur.
How can I get these annoying ads to stop?!?!?!
Must be from an app you have installed.

skip the guesswork and do a master reset FDR AND SETUP AS NEW DEVICE with no backups restored until the ads disappear , because if you restore all it will repeat ads. https://thedroidguy.com/2018/05/galaxy-note-8-keeps-showing-ad-pop-ups-mobile-data-turns-off-calls-issues-1076787
LOOK in link.
and look at this video FIRST. theres no instant solution, but i provided a start. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoD9lHNw0nQ
The security update didnt cause it, and you cant uninstall that.

This.
OP, skip the factory reset suggestion and narrow down the problem to one of your apps. Think games, etc. Factory reset is last resort, and truly overkill for a single app. Besides, if you dont narrow it down now you will likely end up in the same position anyways down the line . Better to resolve it now. Cheers.
Hello everyone, I'm just curious to know if anyone knows how to fix this issue: when I unplug my phone and shut the screen off right after, my phone simply freezes in the state that its in. I know its frozen because if I have my flashlight on it stays on and nothing responds (touches, buttons, fingerpring sensor, etc), but it will not freeze if I have music playing for some reason and the only way to get access to my phone again is to forcefully restarting it (by holding down power for about 10s, which is really annoying). If anyone can help me with this I would really apreciate it. Ps: my phone is a Moto G6 (ali). I know that doing a factory reset fixes it, but right after I re root it and install my apps it starts doing it again. Below is a screenshot with all my root apps.

I have this exact same problem. I have 2 moto's. It occurs on both of them. Never happened till I rooted.
You should disable all of those apps ( especially substratum) and see if the problem still happens. Then if it doesn't, activate one by one till it happens again. Then with the culprit found, look in internet if it has any conflicts to another app you have installed. If you find maybe they have like a patch to download or a modified version. If not you'll have to let one of them go. Or maybe there's no conflict with any other app and it's just that one misbehaving. Disable all other apps and let only the culprit activated. Does it still bug? you can try reinstalling the app or uninstalling it.
The last update had some issue and the device got into bootloop during restart. Hope this update does not have such issue. I had to check it manually yesterday.

I didn't had any issue with any of the previous updates (btw what update caused bootloop on your device? any problems with update could be caused by installed apps). Anyway, OOS12 has some quirks here and there but nothing serious. It's quite stable and suitable for daily usage.
I have installed it yesterday (version EB2103_11.C.05). After testing I can confirm that it is working very well, including 5G network. Also wifi networking is working without any problems.
Any help with a bootloop after updating this update?

Thanks.
It magically went back to the previous version after 3 reboots and several bootloops. No idea how it happened but it seems to be all fine.

It's because there are two slots A and B for this kind of thing, your actual OS boots from slot A, you download update & install it on slot B and if something goes wrong, device returns to boot from slot A.
What a wonderfull time to be alive

Hi, I have a model EB2103, and I want to know if this update is also for this model, if so, where can I download it?
I have the EB2103 version here and upgraded to Oos12. I deeply regret to have done it. The system is slow, ugly, and keeps resetting from nowhere. The fingerprint lock just fails much more and I miss a lot of features. The one a miss most is the hidden apps that I could easily access from apps, by swiping to right. This is gone and now I need to open the telephone app and type a PIN to see a little window will the hidden apps. Looking for a downgrade of my phone right now.
As I wrote here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/need-help-updating-my-oneplus-nord-ce-5g.4495611/
everything is fine with me, the system is running as like a Swiss watch.

I can definitely confirm that the update broke a lot of settings. For me it reset the battery and notification settings for several apps, for example AccuBattery. The apps notification icon does not show up in the top anymore and I think this is the case for every non-system app right now. I am using Nova Launcher and had to do quite a rework of my theming. Colors of the clock widget changed to a cyan, which looked awefull and the google calendar app widget went pale. I also had to remove apps that I previously deactivated.
All in all a horrible update that destroyed my theming and installed a bunch of stuff I did not ask for.
Looking forward to the end of warranty next year to root and remove the OS for something cleaner. Guess this will be the only OnePlus in my posession.
EDIT: I figured out why in my case the notification icons disappeared. I've set "don't disturb" and all the notification icons disappeared, as is with the notification icon of AccuBattery, which is a silent notification. So not only does the system not display a notification in silent mode (which is ok) it also disables the icon in the top banner for some reason. Does anybody know how to disable that behaviour and have it like before, where notifications are silent, but their icons appear in the top banner?
EDIT2: Got the AccuBattery icon working by holding the finger onto the silent notification in the pull-down and then set the notification to "important".

I didn't find out the best way to do it. It looks like MSM Download Tool is the way, but my drivers are still not working as should recognize the phone... I almost bricked the phone 'cause I started flashing it and the phone just reset in the middle of the process.
After a few days, I also noticed that the fingerprint sensor reacts really slow.
Today I printed a document and the print job just crashed after successfully sending the document to the printer.
To top it off, my Moto 360 3rd Gen battery life went from 1.5 days to just under 6 hours.

Try to re-register your fingerprints, this should work.
Did you try to print another document to reproduce the error?
To avoid battery problems on your smartwatch, you could try to allow only apps sending notification, that you need (i.e. Whatsapp, Instagram, Telegram etc.). I assume, that every app send notifications to your smartwatch atm

Thanks for the suggestions, I will try to look at the app rights management again, but I already restricted a lot of stuff and the point is, that before the update, everything just worked a lot better. It is a disappointing update overall that causes a lot of unnecessary problems.
I could not get root to work after the update since the TWRP image was not bootable anymore (flashing it caused the phone only to boot to fastboot). I got the phone working again by factory reset. If anyone knows a solution it would be highly appreciated.
By far the best update to Android on this phone. 11 was just abysmal compared to this.
It runs extremely smooth with no stutters. Everything opens up very quickly etc.
The battery time is, at the same time, clearly better.
It looks much cleaner.
And the functionality is mostly for the better too!
It's been a long time since I have been this positivley surprised by an android update!
No problems when updating, everything worked and missed nothing important after the update.
It's a 100% worth it!
Installed recently and breaks termux with phantom process 32. If you use termux and any of its plugins, this will certainly break it.
