I dont have this issue

The Youtube update made it do that. I uninstalled the update and reverted back to the original one that came with the phone and no more problems.

So it didn't happen by default. It happened cuz you kept switching the orientation one after another. I'm not saying I'm okay with the so called bug what I am saying is maybe you shouldn't be doing that to the phone. No user is going to constantly flip the phones orientation and try to"make" something go wrong

it's not just when changing orientation. Mine was buggy as soon as I hit the back button to exit out of a video. Like I said, it was the new Youtube version that was buggy.

Android 3.2 - No default picker screens!

Hi Guys,
Just hoping somebody can point me in the right direction.
I flashed to 3.01 US stock from UK in order to get the updates. I updated twice to 3.2.
What I'm noticing now is that if I click on a link, that launches an associated app (browser for instance), I used to get a screen jump up and ask which app I wanted to use. So if I'd installed Firefox, Dolphin and got Stock, it would give me the option if I hadn't yet set a default.
Since 3.2 when I click the link, the screen fades out, but the options aren't showing to select which means I can't launch the link/app.
The fix is to uninstall any relevant applications until I only have one app that can launch said link, then reinstall, and I get the option again.
Anyone had this or know how to fix without reinstalling everything?
Hope that made sense....very tired so it might not have done

I had the problem I hope u didn't set Firefox or dolphin as ur default browser what I did was erase all data now I have dolphin and the default drowser all working fine here

This issue has been discussed, but there are two simple ways to solve it without having to reinstall everything.
1) Simply wait and eventually it will fix itself. I know this sounds strange but it will eventually work. I am not generally patient so this one did not work for me.
2) With Autorotate ON, simply rotate the Xoom so that it has to redraw the "picker" screen. Do this when the screen dims and nothing is showing up. I have found that once you do this once for any particular file type you do not need to do it a second time.
I too was reinstalling apps to get the screen to show up, but even that did not always work.

I had the same problem and it seemed to only manifest itself after I re-installed all my apps from Tiamat/Xoom Zone with Titanium Backup. I'm not sure which app was the culprit but after uninstalling Scripter and aLogcat it started working perfect.
Hope this helps!

Same Issues !!
With opera Mobile and MoboPlayer !

Will certainly check these options out. Are you saying that in the first instance, when the screen dims.,...if I left it long enough, it would appear?
Has this been put to Google on their Bugs page,....as Bugs go...it's an annoying one

The Asus Transformer has the exact same problem. makes me think it could be more of a HC3.2 bug now after seeing this thread than device related.
Worse after you think you have fixed the problem every time you turn the device off and then on again on the problem begins again if you have multiple apps that can load a file or link like a web browser (I use multiple). If you have one app or set one app to be the default then you don't have the problem ....with that file or link
Easy to reset by rotating the screen ..but each time you turn on?
Question........
has anyone fixed this with a factory reset?

Factory reset will not fix this . Other browsers , media players and file managers somehow cause the problems .

Screen grays out when screen is touched

For some reason my screen will dim whenever i try to go to links in gmail or other things. Any idea what could be causing this? The xoom is not rooted and completely stock 3.2. kind of an odd issue and a big annoyance.

no solution but saw this happen today in a link in a mail client. it was not gmail.
also, i use honeycomb file manager HD (paid version). clicking on videos mounted at /external1 does the same thing. the videos play, they just dont play from within that file manager. this just started happening. Ive had honeycomb file manager HD for a couple months now (since it was launched) and was able to play the videos from within the app (it would pop up which video player to choose from...). now it doesnt.
i just figured it was a random glitch but perhaps not.

looks like the 3.2 bug... the screen dims when the application picker dialogue box is called, meaning it could happen anytime a link, file, pic, etc could be opened with more than one app on your device... try rotating your screen and it should appear... should make the problem go away (at least until next reboot).

Think doing a factory reset would help?

This is a well known and documented bug with Android 3.2.
Simply rotate your screen, and it will show you a list of applications to choose from.

Nope, as solarnz said this is android 3.2 bug... won't happen everytime, but everytime it happens changing your screen orientation fixes it... mainly a minor annoyance.

appreciate the heads up. i had not known about the bug.. was under a rock i suppose.
ive not seen this issue again and i just tried just now and all is well. next time however, ill be ready ..
thank you again to the OP for posting and for the followups. "thanks" are in order here...

Apps randomly refresh

Hey, just wondering if anyone else is having problems with apps randomly refreshing. It happens in every app except the browsers. It's a bit annoying when you are typing thingso out and the app refreshes, losing what you typed. I've tried reinstalling apps, I have no idea what's up.
Thanks again.

Never experienced what you are getting.
Maybe upload a video so other users can see what is actually happening.
Is it on every application? or selected application? Like HTML5 apps?

Not sure, seems like all my apps, except Browser apps. I'll upload a video sometime tomorrow or the next day, I'm on limited wifi, so uploading some videos would take forever. It's weird and very frustrating, I really want to like this phone, but with the apps refreshing at times when I don't need them to be, it's a real bummer. You'll being doing something in almost any app and it will refresh/reload itself.

I have no idea what that is. I thought it may have been package disable pro, but I turned that off and it wasn't the case. I notice it in snapchat the most, I'll take a picture and as I'm marking people to send the snap to, it'll just reload back to the picture taking screen.

Same here, it started from today. First noticed on snapchat, took a video about to post it lol lost it. Then youtibe app refreshed itself, also media player while watchibg video. Its kinda weird. Maybe its ram problem ?
Also rebooted the phone, did not help.

Just looked it up, I'm using a new up-to-date phone. Never installed anything like that, just apps.

Yeah, restarting or clearing caches does nothing, I'm going to factory reset my phone as soon as I get my SD in.

Had a factory worked for you, because I have the same problem.
It started out of nowhere. Really annoying.
YouTube videos also randomly get paused.

Same problem here, it has been going on for over a week now. Thought it was maybe a screen or gesture setting... Nope. Then thought maybe it was the Nova app launcher, but I've uninstalled it and still have the same issue.

I have the same here. Did anything work for you?

I'm having the same problem! I'll be scrolling and the page is constantly resetting to the top. Filling out forms and they'll be deleted. YouTube videos are always stopping. It's a real pain. Has anyone discovered the cause or a solution yet?

+1..Happening to me for a couple weeks now. Factory reset my phone. No dice. Apps refreshing, YouTube oausing - same symptoms. So frustrating

Has anybody got a fix for this issue? Its really annoying.
Did the factory reset worked for anyone?
Thanks

Hey Shifazh,
Yes, I eventually did a factory reset which fixed the problem.
Make sure you backup EVERYTHING from your phone.

Its an issue for me too. I will try reset today.

My factory reset seemed to work for a while, but then it started doing it again. S7 running nouget

Do you mean auto update? Instead of auto refresh? as far as I know auto refreshing apps are normal, it's supposed to do that. Example your weather app (if you have use them)
If you mean auto update you can change the setting in the play store

2 problems with android N

Hello guys, 2 days ago i finally got the android 7.0 update (three uk) and since then I've spotted some problems with the phone. I have this music player installed its called Musixmatch and one of the features is when your phone start playing music the music player identifies it and puts the lyrics on the screen. So since the update sometimes (mostly when I'm playing videos online or just doing random stuff) lyrics to song "Over The Horizon" by Samsung are popping on my screen ( the song is not actually playing, i can't hear it but the lyrics pops up on the screen which means it was played maybe?) I've attached two screenshoots of this situation.
The other problem is since the update sometimes when i want to watch some videos on youtube after few videos I'm getting this problem saying "there was a problem while playing playback id: (various numbers)" and then i can't play any video online (i haven't tried playing videos from my video library yet) but for example on Facebook when I click on the video it acts like a photo just the thumbnail opens and that's it, can't play it. can't play any video untill i restart the phone then its alright but again after few videos im starting to get this error.
My phone is not rooted and I've never rooted it. Its running on stock rom.
Thanks in advance

Just sounds like MusixMatch needs an update. Not exactly a problem with the phone, but the app.

I agree.
It can take a short while for the developer of an app to push out an update so that it does not clash with the updated firmware. I'd check in the PlsyStore under your Apps.
You may also be able to let the Developer know of the bugs your encountering after the firmware update.
That and I'd try clearing the Apps Cache , System Cache and as a last resort create a fresh backup and Factory Reset.

So today i noticed that its not only Facebook videos nor youtube videos. When its happening i can't even call anyone on Skype or Facebook it just won't let me do it.

Anyone has the same problem?

Had the same problem when I was on LineageOS, didn't found a solution. It was really annoying so I went back to Touchwiz (superman ROM), and haven't had any problems since then.
I dont know what causes the problem, but perhaps a factory reset will solve it for you. :fingers-crossed:

Okay so I decided to go for the factory reset and it worked for a day or two but today the problem is back. Also I would like to mention that I think today was the first time I've used device maintenance to clean ram and Clean master to turn off apps that eat battery after that the problem came back.

You shouldn't even be using Clean Master at all.

Why not

Some people's opinions that such software can cause more harm than good.
Personally I prefer not to use cleaning programmes or battery software either.
The inbuilt options do what I need.

One is it steals your infor and sells it in China.
Second, using it to force stop apps in background causes the phone to active loop and basically use up more battery.
The very presence of Clean Master in the phone is all harm and no good.

Don't use clean master, it's bloat garbage. plus you have that built right into the os. If you MUST use 3rd party once of those, use one that's lighter and less spammy and bloatwarish

I quick looked cm is 16mb, with a whole bunch of bloat and ads and useless features, ahh it's such an awful app. It was bad enough, but then cheetah bought it and it really got bad, same thing happened with the gallery app Quickpic.
Anyway, if it was me, I would absolutely not dl a third party app. The built in stuff does more than a good enough job. But if you must have one, CCleaner 4mb, simple, works, it's light, if there are ads, don't think they are overly intrusive, if there even are any ads. There's a few others that might be OK that are 4mb or under. Look thru the list. But dude, just use the built in option, it does a surprisingly good job.
