Has the Google app poo poo the bed for anyone else recently? My wife and I both have Samsung S7 Edge phones with the most recent version of Android our carrier will allow (7.0) and since upgrading the Google app has become unresponsive for us both. Not only is the search bar unresponsive (typing a query and hitting enter does nothing), but launching the app itself leads to a blank page with the Google logo and a perpetually spinning loading icon. People in various places recommend clearing the app's cache, but that hasn't solved the problem for either of us.

Opening the app is fine, but this is all that happens:   I'm going to try to log out of my Google account from the phone's settings and see what that does.

Does hitting the little arrow there let you log in? Or is there a place to log in if you poke around settings? It's very likely nothing to do with being logged in, though. I don't want to imply I have any idea what I'm talking about.

Ughhhh. I just opened Play Music and it signed me out for some reason. I logged back in and the 15 or so albums I downloaded on it were deleted for some reason. I have it set up to use my SD card but all my photos and the music I uploaded from my pc are all still there so it looks like GPM just randomly shat the bed.

I resolved the Google app issue by going into the app information page for it, navigating to storage -> manage storage, and then telling the app to delete everything. Let's see if it reoccurs. E: nope, already broken in the same way again. Nice one Google! Montalvo fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Apr 22, 2017 |

When using Android Pay, do I need to open anything before using it or is my phone just always ready to be tapped on stuff? I'm not crazy about it, but I'd like to give it a try

I've been using it on the vending machine at work, and the behavior seems inconsistent. Sometimes my phone screen can be off and it works fine, other times the screen is on yet it still wants me to input my pin and tap it another time afterwards.

It needs to have authenticated via PIN or fingerprint within a certain amount of time which may not correspond directly to what you have your phone's security too. I had the best results by turning the screen off and unlocking my phone via fingerprint reader right before I made the purchase. Not sure what it does if you have no screen lock or use a pattern.

I had the best results by turning the screen off and unlocking my phone via fingerprint reader right before I made the purchase. Android Pay requires that you have a secure lock screen to function at all. You cannot even add a card without meeting that requirement. Transactions under £30 require the screen to be on but nothing else. They work just like a contactless payment on a card. No authorization needed, no unlock needed, they basically just work Transactions above £30 require the device to be unlocked, just as you would need to enter your PIN to use your card on a terminal. Your phone should not ever perform an NFC payment with the screen off as the hardware is supposed to be disabled in this state to prevent fraud. If your phone genuinely does that then I would recommend returning it as it is broken.

Tunga posted:I can only comment in regards to the UK but there is no time out in the way described here. In fact all of this is entirely incorrect. Though the US is pants-on-head stupid when it comes to payment systems so maybe things there really do work in the preposterous way that you describe, I've never read anything to that effect. Sorry if I wasn't too clear. The screen definitely needs to be on to make an NFC transaction. What I was suggesting was turning the display off and unlocking via your fingerprint right before making an Android Pay transaction since using the fingerprint to unlock your phone also turns the display on. I definitely have had the screen on with the phone unlocked and been prompted to re-enter my PIN in the past. I used to have a phone without a fingerprint reader so I would set the phone to only lock after it had been asleep for the longest possible time it would let me. To avoid the issue I just started locking and unlocking my phone right before using Android Pay. Not sure about the over/under $30 thing in the US, I've been prompted for a PIN in the past on a $1 McDonalds coffee.

In case anyone is curious about the Google app issues I've been posting about -- I had a look on the Play store for reviews from people of the app with the same phone as I do and it sounds like it's an issue affecting S7 Edge owners on Verizon.

It's part of the contactless spec that, every so often, when performing a contactless transaction you'll need to input a PIN anyway. This is to ensure it's still in the owner's possession.

Has anyone's facebook app been acting up recently? Like I can't pull to refresh anymore and going to most recent just shows nothing except a loading circle. I've tried wiping the app's storage and relogging in but that didn't do anything. Like I'd just use their website but that's lovely too with its randomly deciding I can't go further back into to timeline.

So I just opened Google+ for the first time and it has a bunch of my contacts who are following me. I'm fairly sure none of them purposefully did this. Does it do a link by contacts phone number or something? It didn't show me as following anyone...

Are app updates as slow for everyone else as for me? It took more than 15 minutes to update 6 apps earlier. It would be quicker if I uninstalled and then reinstalled them.Evil Vin posted:Thanks this actually works. Same here! And it lets me block the people you may know section which Facebooks own app couldn't even load for me anyway.

So I just got a Galaxy S7 and, understandably, am looking for a launcher to replace TouchWiz. What's the hotness these days? I've read the OP but it hasn't been updated since 2015, a more innocent time when saying the words "President Trump" in a serious context would get you committed to an asylum.

It's the new official launcher. Now Launcher was supposed(ly) to be discontinued back in February, but they're probably just letting it hang around until Pixel Launcher is available on more devices. Officially it can't be installed on many yet.

The only thing I can think of is that you can swipe left of home for Google Now, on Nova you can't unless you root and install it as a system app iirc. Unless I missed a new development, it used to be that way. I can't root my S7 Edge
