Not able to see the minimized apps - Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Questions & Answers

Hello all, it's been 5 days since I owned Max Pro M2.
And all of sudden I am getting this weird issue where I am not able to see the minimized apps when pressing the overview button. It always shows No Recent items and it's really quite annoying when trying to move between apps.
I have tried the following options to resolve it but nothing worked so far.
1. Restarting the phone
2. Phone Off and turning On back.
3. Uninstalling the greenify app.
4. Resetting the app settings
Any suggestions or solution will be really helpful.

That's the same problem I am facing after FOTA update for the month of November

Solve for the issue- No Recent Apps
Thanks for the question. I bought Max Pro M2 and recently got stuck at no recent apps screen.
So as remedy I tried out something and it worked.
1) Press the power button.
2) Hold on Power Off option for few seconds. Just keep holding onto the option.
3) The device will boot and take you to the safe boot mode.
4) Now check if you have any recent apps on or not.
There will be apps unless you have deleted all.
5)Now reboot your device.
6) Check recent apps and you will get minimized apps there.
7) If nothing works, then try checking any there is any issues with screen pinning. But I am sure doing upto step 6 will be able to bring back your recent apps.
Thank you.

Thanks for the response. I am facing this issue very rarely and I will try the above solution when it happens again.

[Q] Soft reboot on Lock-unlock-Lock-unlock

I am using the D802, bought it in Singapore under M1. I also use the flipcover with the quick window - bug does not happen when i unlock using it. On stock with TWRP and root.
The problem first started when I rooted my device, I noticed that locking it and quickly unlocking it again would sometimes cause a soft reboot. The problem went away after a while, but today it has rebooted on me at least 8 times.
My logcat is attached below(no confidential stuff there). I seem to be able to reproduce the problem pretty easily today, so I started logging from when I turned on my screen and ends when the phone shows the lock screen when I finish the boot(when the lock screen appears)
Unlocking is attempted the moment the screen turns on and all the widgets have loaded(1second?), and the soft reboot occur both with double tap and using the power on key.

I've already done a cache and dalvik cache wipe using TWRP 2.6.3.2 but it does nothing IMO
Any one has any ideas? I suspect a problem with me /system/bin/cnd file cos is keeps showing a "reading a NULL string not supported here" - it's the one error that keeps showing up. Any help would be really appreciated, thank you so much
I have seen this problem on many, many occasions with my T-Mobile G2 but in my case I did not dug that deep (logcat).
However I noticed the problem occurred while using either the Lockscreen Gmail Widget or the Launcher Gmail Widget.
Once I remove them, the problem is gone.
Cheers!
I see, thank you so much! Just removed it.

Glad it helped!

Cannot take screenshots either use smart select

OK this is weird.
I have my Note 3 running on Norma ROM v17 without problems and a ton of apps installed.
Few days ago I tried to use smart select (with the pen) when a toast message prompted "Unable to capture screenshot. Prevented by security policy." . Well I just ignored for the moment thinking that something went wrong with facebook app which I was trying to capture.
However this seems to be permanent behavior. I can't take screenshots neither by Power + Home combination neither by SmartCapture not even if I try to use a third party application!
Did anyone had faced the same problem again?
Can somebody point me to the direction to solve this?
One last addition.
I don't know if it is related to this problem but I have to report it. The device boot animation is getting resized to top left of the screen every time the device boots. What on earth can cause this?
I"m back wirh a solution.
I was for more days trying to discover how to solve this problem.
Finally I decided to backup my data and wipe the system.
And then I noticed a command lying in the menu called "Reset settings" which I had to try instead of resetting to factory default the phone.
So this command cleared the settings (I really dont know which particular settings were cleared though ) without losing my apps, data, phone setup etc.
The problem fixed.
:good:

Phone UI freezing - forced to manually reboot

I'm having an issue where every couple of hours my Galaxy S8+ freezes. It gets so bad sometimes to the point where the UI is totally frozen and I cant do anything except for a force shutdown via the power + volume down button combination.
I cant put a finger on what app might be causing it but ive already tried running in safe mode and still observed the issue.
I have also tried clearing cache from the recovery menu and i still experience the issue.
Hope someone finds a solution! I cant even use my phone as a test device for work anymore because of this and every couple of hours my phone locks up entirely and I am forced to restart it.

You can uninstall some apps if you like and see if it changes anything. But if you believe, that you have tried most options, then do Samsung back up and then try factory reset and see if it corrects issue. Otherwise you may need to contact Samsung for help as it maybe a hardware issue as well.

multiple issues on rooted vs995

Hello everyone. long time lurker first time poster,
I've had my V20 since the beginning of July, I rooted it the first week. It had been running great (stock rom) until the last 2 weeks. The first thing that i noticed was that my Google Chrome and Play store were missing from my home screen. I checked the app drawer, nothing, then went to the application manager, still could not be found. Did some quick research and found nothing helpful. I eventually went through a "battery saving" app like greenify or wakelock (I can't remember) and found the application data. I was thankfully able to go to the play store through said app and open them, which placed them back into view in my app drawer. This was a strange occurrence but brushed it off as nothing.
Fast forward to this week and more issues are arising. More apps are randomly vanishing, I only noticed because one particular app I use to disable annoying services was gone and the stock settings came back. After getting that back to block the services my phone has become very laggy. still functioning just slow at times. I also get a random vibration with no notification or prompt showing on screen. This only happens when the phone is awake. It is not a full vibration just a quick buzz, similar to a single key press with haptic feedback turned on. This happens while nothing is visably taking place on screen and no input from me. I have checked all settings I can think of, but still am stumped. The last issue is with my mobile connectivity, at random times my 4G will have no connection. I thought it was just bad reception because wifi was working fine. I confirmed it is just 4g because while i was in a small area with blocked signal it dropped to 3g and worked fine, but as soon as it switched back to 4g boom no connection. I have tried rebooting several times when these issues occurred, toggled many settings and even uninstalled several apps I thought could cause problems. I am having no luck and cannot find any common problems through my research.
TL;DR
- rooted v20 running stock rom
-random apps being removed but still installed
-4G connection issues
-random <100ms vibration
-times of bad lag
short of flashing back to original any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance
Factory reset to start.
Pull battery. Replace.
Hold vol down.
Press power.
HOLD powerbutton.
When LG logo shows, let go of powerbutton 1x.
ONLY 1X needed.
Re depress power, stat.
Select yes 2x.
Boots into TWRP. Factory reset.
If aboce doesnt work wipe all but external sd
Reinstall preferred ROM.
profit?

Issues with my device crashing

I purchased a Mi 9t a few days ago, and I'm experiencing a recurring issue that I can't seem to solve.
From time to time, the UI will simply crash. I can still see my apps but I can't open them, and the notification bar on top of the display just disappears. I can't access anything and my only solution is to reboot. Sometimes I'll have to reboot multiple times a day, which gets old quite quickly.
Most of the time it seems the issue occurs when I'm trying to go to the home screen, whether with gestures or with the home button.
- At first I thought it was a conflict between the gestures in Nova launcher and the gestures of the phone. Turning them off in Nova didn't fix it, so I tried to disable the phone ones and started using the navigation bar, but it didn't fix the issue either.
- I did clean Nova launcher's cache along with the system launcher's one, didn't fix anything.
- I tried to do a full factory reset, it didn't fix anything either.
- I tried to disable the search bar, didn't fix it.
- I tried using another launcher, didn't work.
- Using the system launcher didn't work.
I'll add that my phone and apps are all up to date.
I didn't find anything helpful on the internet, and now I'm out of ideas. Is it software, or could it be hardware ? I can still send the phone back and get a replacement, should I ?
Thanks for your input !

Hi there,
When you did a full factory reset did you start from scratch or did you import your backup?
If you did it with your backup once you were setting up your phone again, it may be some app that you have recently installed.
If you did factory reset (without restoring your backup) and still experience the same issue it could be Software/hardware issue (software being more likely) and yes you should send your phone for repair or get a replacement phone.
But before you do I would advise you to wait until another software update / Security patch is out and see if that resolves the issue for you if it does it was software issue if it does not it is a hardware issue.
Hope this helps
Thank you for taking the time to write an answer, I appreciate it !
Because of a delivery error I received a second device, so I decided to switch and send back the first one. I also suspected that it was more likely to be software rather than hardware, but thought I'd do it just in case. So far the issue happened once on the new device.
You raise a good point I hadn't thought about. I transferred the data from my old phone to the new one, at first. When I did a factory reset I entirely wiped the data on the phone, however I had backed up my data with Google and the Mi cloud, which I restored.
I think I'll try doing an entirely clean install if the issue persists. Thanks you !
