    PSA: Random app crashes today? Uninstall Android Webview in Play Store

    Posted: 23 Mar 2021 11:57 AM PDT

    (PSA) If half your apps are suddenly crashing repeatedly, disable Google Chrome

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 05:03 PM PDT

    Like you, I freaked out when well over half my apps started crashing on startup, and my first thought was this sub (after checking for malicious apps and restarting twice, of course). The common solution seems to be disabling, uninstalling, or removing updates for "Android System WebView," but my phone (Galaxy S9, Android 8) doesn't show this in Play Store or Settings, and you can't uninstall an app/system feature that you seemingly don't have (or is hidden). Lots of people are reporting that their older phones/Android versions don't have WebView as well.

    Just one person in a crossposted thread suggested disabling Chrome. Out of options, I tried it, and sure enough all of my apps are suddenly working again. I can't uninstall it without root, but I could uninstall the updates, that was unnecessary for me but if simply disabling doesn't work for you, that's worth a shot. Anyway, try this and/or disabling WebView, before you make a new post.

    Some of my apps crash when I open them.

    Posted: 23 Mar 2021 03:10 AM PDT

    Some of my apps, IMDb, Deezer, Relay for Reddit, Nice Lock and some others crash after I open them. The problem started after I updated Device Care app by Samsung. I don't know what is the problem exactly. Has this ever hhappened to you? How to fix the problem?

    Edit: I restarted the phone, cleared the data of IMDb app and the problem is still there.

    Edit 2: After I open an app, it starts behaving the same of the apps I said. I just opened Boost for Reddit to edit this post and I can no longer open it. Now I'm on the original app.

    Edit 3:

    Solution: Uninstall Android System Webview

    Backing up before rooting, what are my options?

    Posted: 23 Mar 2021 02:40 AM PDT

    HI all,

    I'd like to ditch MiUI and flash something like EvolutionX and ensure the ownership on my phone.

    If I got it right, rooting my phone is going to wipe the data from my device.

    I looked at my options to backup my phone, but it appears that the best options are available only after rooting the device.

    What can I do to backup most of it with a vanilla MiUI 12 Xiaomi? My contacts, calendars, tasks, photos are already synced via WebDAV or Nextcloud, so I'm mainly thinking about apps data, settings, etc.

    Thank you kindly.

    I want to change my Primary Google Account

    Posted: 23 Mar 2021 08:50 AM PDT

    I wish to change my Primary Google Account as the current gmail address is a portmanteau using my dead name, however I don't want hard reset as I would lose my play store app history, and various settings and app data.

    Is there a way make a new Gmail Account and either transfer the data to the new account or make the old account a sub account?

    Update: Got a moment to just look up my inquiry on the internet. Google has a process to facilitate this, so I will give that a try when I can.

    Will my phone automatically do a backup without getting past the lockscreen?

    Posted: 23 Mar 2021 12:45 PM PDT

    I broke my phone screen 3 months ago and I had it turned off ever since. I had it automatically backing up to my google account every 24 hours prior to turning it off but since it's been more than 57 days (not sure why google chose 57 days for this threshold), my backup on google drive had been deleted. I've turned my phone back on but I cant unlock it since my screen is broken. It is still connected to my wifi so is there a chance that it'll automatically backup my files to my google drive again without me having to somehow getting through the lockscreen? I am on android 9 and this is a Sony XZ for context

    Reinstalling older android versions. How?

    Posted: 23 Mar 2021 12:36 PM PDT

    I've accidentally let my phone update from android 7.1.2 - which worked perfectly - to 9, which is so far pretty subpar compared to my previous experience with this phone. How can I go back? I've looked online for a few hours now, but no decisive answer came in.

    My phone is a Nokia 6 (TA-1033).

    Apps on my phone started to crash suddenly?

    Posted: 23 Mar 2021 12:36 PM PDT

    Every third app that I run crashes, for example Gmail,Viber and so on and when I run them I just get white screen and then it puts me again on home screen. Thank you in advance.

    Way to fix the app crashing problem caused by recent Google Webview event for old Samsumg phone

    Posted: 23 Mar 2021 01:54 AM PDT

    UPDATE: For everyone who's suffering from this, google has released a fix, webview is related to the Google chrome app, update your Google chrome to the latest version on play store and it should be okay


    Up until just this morning I've been noticing some of the default apps like gmail, samsung email app, google play service on my phone stopped working with a notification popped up, along with all wallet and banking apps on my phone, all will crash upon start up. I can't make any payment and my phone is literally a brick now. A bit of research leads me to find out it's because of google webview

    Wiping cache is no longer a thing on some androids?

    Posted: 23 Mar 2021 08:38 AM PDT

    https://www.androidpolice.com/2016/11/07/android-7-1-feature-spotlight-a-closer-look-at-seamless-updates-partition-changes-and-new-fastboot-commands/

    Running Moto X4. I'm used to the whole wiping cache when things go goofy. So I think I'm going nuts here because I'm in recovery mode and no cache wipe.

    From the article: "Likewise, the /recovery partition has become largely redundant. Historically, the stock recovery image was used to install OTA packages, perform factory resets, and wipe the /cache partition. Installing OTAs is now handled by the OS, and there's no need to wipe the /cache partition anymore, so the /recovery partition has been removed, as well."

    My recovery screen looks just like the screenshot, no cache there. So would it be correct to say that the cache should no longer be an issue on phones that lack the ability to wipe the cache?

    Apps/options that reduce touchscreen sensitivity?

    Posted: 23 Mar 2021 12:13 PM PDT

    This may be a long shot, but I use a Galaxy Tab Active pro for outdoor work. It generally works great, but I anticipate using it in a rainier climate more often this year. In the past when it rains it becomes more difficult with the ghost touches etc (obviously). My question is: are there any apps or advanced settings that can make a touchscreen LESS Sensitive? It has an S-pen, so I envision something that can decrease sensitivity so that firm pen touches register while moisture has less of an affect, or at least doesn't cause as much difficulty. I believe some more advanced rugged tablets (Mesa3?) have touchscreen profiles that can be adjusted, but up until now it hasn't made sense to go for that expensive of a device.

    Friend's outgoing calls keep getting blocked. what's going on?

    Posted: 23 Mar 2021 12:09 PM PDT

    Every time he attempt to make a call to anyone, he gets a voicemail saying his Sprint account needs funds.

    However, he checked his account, and it's paid up to date. Furthermore, he's able to access mobile data on his phone, and I'm able to call him and send/receive texts from him.

    It's likely that it's some kind of ransomware, but I haven't seen this before. Have any of you noticed this before?

    Replacement for hangouts dialer (Canada)?

    Posted: 23 Mar 2021 12:02 PM PDT

    Like many people, I use hangouts dialer to make long distance phone calls. Since hangouts is being killed off (RIP), what's the alternative?

    Google Voice can be used if verified with a US number, I believe you also need a US IP to make calls, so that's a possibility if I get VPN, but I'm hoping there's another decent (and free) app that can replace dialer.

    Can't use google search and certain games

    Posted: 23 Mar 2021 11:59 AM PDT

    It's Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 and basically as soon as I search for something in google search it quits by itself. I can't open certain games either. So if anyone has a fix or any idea I would highly appreciate it. Thanks!

    Best app to upload lots of pictures

    Posted: 23 Mar 2021 03:10 AM PDT

    Hey guys.

    My fiancee has so many photos on her galaxy s 8. Easily over 15 GB. Many of these photos are very sentimental and include lost family members. Can anyone recommend the best app to bulk upload securely? I have a pixel with Google one so I don't think too much about it but would love to hear any recommendations.

    Thanks in advance!

    Aukey Fit app is draining my battery

    Posted: 23 Mar 2021 11:40 AM PDT

    I got a cheap Aukey smartwatch just for screening calls/messages when I'm at work and can't get my phone out every time it rings but the Aukey Fit app that connects to it is absolutely killing my battery. Only a few other people are complaining about it in the reviews for the watch. I have a Galaxy S9:

    https://imgur.com/gallery/lA3mQFi

    My questions are: is this normal for a smartwatch app? Normal for a smartwatch app + my phone? Can I keep it from doing this during hours I don't need to use the watch? Would a different watch + app still do this?

    The battery in the phone was replaced with a screen replacement a little over a year ago and has been doing fine otherwise.

    I denied the app access to location services and every other permission besides calls and messages.

    Multiple apps keep crashing

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 02:32 PM PDT

    Phone randomly started having some apps crash as soon as they launch. Tried restarting and got the same issue. Phone is razer phone 1.

    List of apps that crash:

    Google app (not chrome, the Google search app)

    BBC iPlayer - crashes even when it isn't open

    Gmail app

    Airline manager 4 (but strangely not airline manager 3)

    An app or system called "Three net___" only appeared for a second so couldn't get the full name but seen as my phone has the 3 bootloader, I'm assuming this is the cause of the problem.

    I've tried force stopping the apps as well but to no avail.

    If you have any ideas please send them.

    New to Custom ROMs and flashing: How do I change my Android Go 8.1 to AOSP Android 10?

    Posted: 23 Mar 2021 09:35 AM PDT

    My main phone broke, so I've been using a phone with 0 functionality (A2 Core). I'm desperately looking for a step-by-step guide to flashing my phone and changing this godforsaken OS. Also, is there anything better than the AOSP Android 10? The A2 Core is a 1GB RAM phone, so I'm looking for an OS with the ability to do simple things (like access notification settings) while still keeping the speed of 8.1 Go.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
