Fire HD6 OS issues - Fire HD 6 and 7 General

Does anyone else have these issues?
»Extremely low process limit: Apps seem to get killed from memory almost as soon as you press home or switch apps. (Constant reloading of the Otter home screen when pressing home due to it being killed in the background). The worst part is that even music apps are killed while listening to.
Edit:solved! Looked through process stats from.developers options and disabled the high memory services via adv block.
»Periodically slow/laggy on screen keyboard.
Any work arounds or info would be great. Thanks!

Could you give a quick overview of how/what you blocked. I know we can't remove the Amazon-related background processes/apps but I'd love to be able to block some of them if possible.

I gave up and switched to Swiftkey, although it has its own issues.

well I found out it is not fully solved but it occurs less. To block a system app you need adb and drivers set up on your computer. Type: "adb shell" and then look through the processes on your device and it gives the package name. such as com.google.whatever. to block type:"pm block com.google.whatever".

Cheers. Got it. I'm in the shell unblocking the default launcher after the 4.5.2 update anyway. For whatever reason it won't start Nova immediately after an update so I have to unblock/reinstall Nova/block to get it back working again. Thanks again.

The update seems to have helped. will need to test the keyboard again

if you hook up your phone to a pc and do the command "adb logcat" does it still show a running log?
yeah i was wondering this also.

I think these are "over the air" logs services that track app'n issues, etc, sending feedback to google or developers? Could the streak function without these,good question. Freezing instead of deleting is a good idea. Provide a safe roll-back if necessary.

Annoying Pop Up Ads

I have a Note 3 in Canada with Rogers and I am getting these extremely annoying pop up ads as soon as I unlock my phon it would pop up. It is basically a box in the middle of the screen different websites usually NSFW that give two options of either downloading or checking later. I have tried Push Detector and other Adware detector but they don't find any issues.
Please help.
Thank you.

If you have a rooted device you can always install Greenify and simply just hibernate all the apps you don't use.
None of the standard apps should do that -- and if Rogers has installed bloatware that does this then they should be taken to task.
It is almost certainly some app you installed,

What is happening when you click long on him ? Try keep finger little longer of him.
I tried holding the ad for a while to maybe the app info, but it wouldn't give me any option.
I can definitely feel my Note 3's performance has slowed down and battery drains much faster.
I used Greenify as well, using only the Apps that I am certain shouldn't have an adware but no dice.

Use Minmin guard and r xprivacy modules for xposed framework...
Minmin guard stops those annoying popup ads being downloaded from the net. Please note however that any popup downloaded already is still there and will be displayed until you clear cache and dalvik cache...
Xprivacy offers you the choice of allowing apps the right to use or block certain privelages, things like like access imei/contact lists/accounts and access to the internet and also root privelages... This is essentially a firewall that requires your authorisation to allow new apps the right to use your phone how it wants...

Sounds like you need to do a full wipe and stay away from that App. It's most likely a virus that will keep doing this. Do you install a lot of third-party apps? Like, you didn't find it on Google Play Store and you just downloaded it from internet and installed it?
I was thinking maybe I should just do a wipe and then see what happens.
I don't download a lot of third party apps but I have downloaded some.
How about clearing cache and Dalvik cache as the other poster had suggested?
My devise is rooted, maybe just back up the essential apps and install a new ROM ?
Maybe you should check your battery usage in Settings. If it is draining your battery, you should see the app on the list? Unless you know what app is causing it, you probably install it later and get it back. No, Dalvik and Cache clearing won't fix your problem.

If you rooted try in this way. Backup all user app with titanium backup.
Then uninstall all suspect and new installed app. if ad disappear then restore one by one with TB and see what make this popup

Official Nougat - turn off Peek Notifications?

I can't seem to find the equivalent to the setting that disables the "Pop-Up" notification setting in Nougat 7.0. This link explained how to do it in MM...
https://www.androidexplained.com/galaxy-s7-disable-heads-up-notifications/
Anyone find something like this?
Same here.
Well I did that and worked for me in Nougat on my S7 Edge Duos. I tried it with whatsapp and I'm not getting the preview pop-up anymore while using the phone

but you wont get the vibration alerts either
They actually removed that exact feature from Nougat. You can silent the entire notification, but cannot turn off the floating notifications.
I was looking for solution on this either, stupid sumsung removed one of the best nougat control over notifications that you could define levels of notifications control and their priorities even of the list (The power controls notifications)... Idiots.
Now or you only have 2 options:
NO PEEK+NO VIBRATION/SOUND
PEEK + VIBRATIONS
instead of the great different levels of notifications control. Samsung always does some **** to piss off users.... because they decreasing the control that the user have over the phone instead of increasing.

F! That's true... sorry... I was on DND mode so I didn't realize that.
Hope we find some way...
Unless there is maybe a port from somewhere or an xposed alternative but still might not be possible since it can be far too complex as it mixes the notifications and settings, so I doubt we will ever get this properly working...

ADB method confirmed working! Thank you!!!!
(extract below...)
a) Open a terminal and check if the device is connected using the following command:
Code:
adb devices
b) You should see your phone on the list that appears. Now use the following command:
Code:
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0c) Reboot your phone.
d) Done!

So with this method there is not PEEK but the sound still works right?
The drawback for me is that I wanted only certain apps without peek+sound, but not all the apps...

Is that on the home screen? If so, you can always use a launcher like Nova w/Tesla badge notification. Mine are working properly with Nova (but I don't use Viber...)

I just realized it's working.
However I was referring not only this peek preview but also on the notification bar... when you have a message and you slide down the bar and you have the message there.
Crap samsung has some brain freeze once in a while for eliminating this ..
What is this adb everyone is talking about? I'm having this same complaint with the peeking and use to have it turned off on most apps. Just got android 7 this morning so still looking around, but sounds like dropping this code in is an easy fix.... But where do I drop it? Is this an app for the phone or is it on my pc? Can someone please describe how to do this from the beginning, not just "use adb, put in this code. Done." maybe for some of us less intelligent but equally annoyed with peeking people so we can remove it as well. Thanks!
I can also confirm that this worked. No more heads up popup when I get messages. Tested in Google Hangout and Whatapps.

ADB is a software you need to install on your PC computer (some where there is a 5 sec installation for it). Then you need to set your phone to USB debug mode and plug it into your PC with the USB cable. Your PC will detect your device.
Go to Start on your PC and in the search area type "cmd" to bring up the black box terminal window. Then just follow the two command lines listed to first detect your phone, then run the flag to turn off the popup. Reboot. Then it will work.
Test and tried on a Sprint Samsung S7.
It will remove the popup window but preserve sound.

Looking to run the app in the background?

Hello Members,
I was looking to run one of the apps in the background as it's work related . However, on the flip-side Android is building the operating system in such a way that it kills the apps for more battery life and/or best performance.
In order to fix it I have changed the following setting on OnePlus 6T which has worked like a charm.
Settings --> System --> Recent App Management --> Normal Clear (by default it is Deep Clear) - Change it to Normal Clear.
Hope this helps someone.
Cheers!
Actually default is normal clear.

Thanks polzovotel. However, for me it was Deep Clear
By me it was also normal clear. And it is not working.
I wanna have termux running in the background always, but it gets killed.
I disabled battery optimization for the termux app, I turned off adaptive battery. It still gets killed automatically.
Within termux there is termux-wakelock setting but it is not working on the 6t.
Tried with a Samsung phone and it works perfectly.

someone recording camera on my phone

Hello guys,
Someone is using my phone to record what happening on cam
Could someone please help me on how to disable this ? Each time i connect to my wifi this icon near hours show up and start blinking, any one have an idea ?
Thanks guys
Depending on what version of Android you have, you could go through permissions to see which apps allow camera use while app is running. Use the Permissions manager to do this.
Turn them off any suspect apps. If that doesn't do it, turn them off in batches until you narrow it down.

A good starting point: Disable for all applications that you side-loaded ... meaning, any apps that you didn't install from the Google Play store.
I did a clean install, everthing was erased (with odin samsung phone), untill now all god, but each time i connect to my wifi the small icon start recording...
Any idea guys ?
That symbol is samsungs screen recorder
