Chrome 69 and mediapad - Huawei MediaPad M5 Questions & Answers

Well I updated chrome to the last version, but it still shows the older ui, even forcing the flags, no changes
Are you experiencing a similar issue?

No issue for me. Nothing to do and the new UI is here.
Are you sure the update is really done ? For my OnePlus 5T, An error occured during install of the update that disappeared only after reboot.

It's working with Chrome Canary

I have the same problem. I have the latest update but the old UI, only on my phone is the new UI.

same here. Chrome Beta 69 dont show the new ui. canary works... idk whats wrong ...

Chrome 69
Full release on my MPad 8.4 with the new UI is fine.

I don't have the new UI on my US 10.8 or my phone for that matter. A LG G5. And both have 69 installed.

No solution for this problem?

I don't get it... Chrome Canary work's ... Chrome Beta...nope...
Can't find a solution [emoji58]

Finally Chrome Beta 71 works perfect. Looks like on Dekstop with the new Material Design. Nice.

You probably have your VIEW set to SMALL under display settings, I noticed that on my M5 8.4 it didnt got the new UI unless I had the VIEW mode set to DEFAULT.

I've tried this but doesn't work on my M5 10 tab

Greenify force closed

After the last update I'm getting fc in greenify this is photo from log viewer
G.M.L.
Same here on beta 4, the device is 4.4.2 Touchwiz based tablet Note Pro 12.2 LTE. Greenify crashes right after clicking the icon ;(
Although it is still working fine along with MaterialUI design on OnePlus One @4.4.4.
EDIT:
Sorry, the error is somewhat different, although still seems to be related to layout:
Also a few lines earlier there ars some issues with something called GoogleTagManager, dunno if they are related but the PID mentioned in logcat looks the same, not sure:
Beta 3 still working fine. Also, even after upgrading, the widget preserved on the homescreen since beta 3 works fine too.
Same here. FC after greenifying any app. I thought it only fc on system app but when i tried to greenify user app, sameway, fc
Looks like an issue with google support classes included in the app, related to UI features.
Hope for a quick fix as on my OnePlus One - where the whole thing is working ok - new layout looks really astonishing
After the last update the problem its fixed!!!!"Thanks to the development!!!!!
G.M.L.
Too bad my problem still istn't solved ;(
still fc
i think greenify works by fc the apps

youtube 5.5.30 reboots when going back to menu from video

Hi,
I have two SGP 4.2 players, both running the enhanced stock ROM. Recently, my daughter and I have had issues with the Youtube app on both players where it causes the player to reboot every time you try to go back to the app menu from a video. Has anyone else experienced this?
On one player, I tried uninstalling the updates to get it back to the factory version, but then the player said youtube was not installed even though the app icon was still present. A reboot made it disappear and then I could reinstall, but the issue persisted.
On the other player, I uninstalled the app completely via ES File Explorer system apps. The issue persisted after the reinstall of the app.
I have tried clearing the app storage and cache. I have tried, via recovery, clearing the system cache and dalvik.
None of these options resolve the issue. A number of reviews in the Google Play store indicate that others are having the same issues, but nobody seems to have suggestions on how to fix it.
I've search the SGP forums here at XDA, but can't see any reference.
The next thing I will try will be to pull the youtube.apk from the original ROM zip file and reinstall it that way. The original ROM version did not crash.
Does anyone have any other suggestions or success resolving the issue?
Thanks,
C.
EDIT: I pulled the apk from the ROM zip and it seems to work fine. Over the holidays I plan to dig into an apk archive to find a newer version without issues.
I have the same issue, although it doesn't happen every time. I confirm that it didn't occur with the older versions of youtube, and I've never found a solution for this

Resurecting this. I tried all of the 2.3.6 compatible versions of Youtube I could find at apkmirror.com including 5.0.21, 5.1.10, 5.2.27, 5.3.23, 5.3.32, 5.5.26, and 5.5.27, all with the same issue.
I am still looking for versions in the 4.xx series. The version contained in the ROM that does work is 2.4.4.
I know I've had a version that's worked that's newer than 2.4.4, I just don't know which one! I'll keep digging when I have more time.
EDIT: I've also tried androidsandwich.com, but can't seem to d/l any of the apks from there. I'll try later with a different browser and keep digging for an alternative source.
EDIT-2: v4.5.17 from androiddrawer.com seems to be stable.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529715 this one has given me no problems. You get the extra benefit of being able to select 720p (The regular app won't let us, since our device's screen is not 720p. However, 720p on our devices looks much better than 480p because it streams at a higher bitrate. Plus this has off screen play back.

That's the only one that has worked without restating my player. The 720p option is awesome but I feel that it lags to much with my 4.2 player.

Jan 29, 2015 version of 5.5.30
A new version of 5.5.30 was released Jan 29, 2015. I don't know why they didn't give it a new version number. I installed it today and all seems OK. Hopefully it stays stable!

So, 5.5.30 seems to work fine on my SGP4.2, but not my daughter's. I've had to revert hers back to 4.5.17.
Weird.

The update is for carrier devices, not U1 devices. Your have to ODIN to N950U firmware then apply the OTA.

My device is a carrier device on stock nougat. It is a Verizon Note 8.
Hey guys, I just got the OTA update on my Sprint Galaxy Note 8 as well, and so far I'm loving it! But I'm experiencing a Google Play error, "DF-DFERH-01, error retrieving information from server"
So I went ahead and cleared cache and data, uninstalled Google Play updates, and did the same thing to Google Play Services. I went as far as factory resetting my device, and I'm still recieving the same error. It wasn't like this before I installed the update 2 hours ago.
I wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing the same thing?
Edit: Just like magic, Google Play seems to be working again. Finally to enjoy Android Pie at last!

^^ Also had / have same issue as well. Mine however is a carrier unlocked Galaxy Note 8 and using Sprint service (not rooted). I did clear cache, have not tried factory reset but thank you for informing me as I've been trying to determine the next course of action. Also, my menu / ui / settings / colors (font / backgrounds / forms) have partially inverted, so that all titles are almost close to #000 (solid black) with form boxes inverted to white, (making this close to impossible without some guess work what invisible text says) and it seems like there's an error with the themes (now back to complete stock and it does not change the colors at all from the inverted manner nor will it allow me to even switch to dark mode). However, I just got this installed maybe 15 minutes ago, so I will continue trying to figure this out and test to see if any other functions are not working properly. Have you found any other others yourself and or a way to fix the Google Play error?

Ah, that sounds odd. As far as I know, Samsung made changes to the way themes work on the Android Pie update, so I'd guess it might be possible that your themes were screwed up in the process. Is it also like that on the default theme? Everything seems to be working normal on my end, I'm still using the default theme
As for the Google Play error, I didn't really do anything else after I had cleared cache and data, and uninstalled app updates. I went off to continue setting up my Note 8, came back 25 minutes later, and Google Play worked normally as if nothing had happened.

So what I learned from a couple of quick experiments, to ANYONE downloading & installing Pie for the first time, I highly advise uninstalling all forms of themes, launchers, roms, etc. that are not stock as with the theme changes in Pie, that is what seems to mess it up and I am going to test to see what can be used with it after. The Google Play thing lasted me a few hours since it was earlier today.... but makes me wonder if they did a silent correction as I've heard others that didn't get that error after mine seemed to magically work again too.

I see. In your first post you asked about N950U1 devices, which is the unbranded factory unlocked model.
Yes this update will work on your device. But you can't apply it directly over your current build. You'll have to update to whatever the current Oreo build was first.

UI 3.1 crashes Default Launcher Tab S7+

So, my tablet updated to UI 3.1 but now anytime iI try to open a folder on the home screen, with it be a folder of normal downloaded apps or side loaded apps, it crashes the launcher. Luckily I have Nova Launcher on here as well and that opens and runs fine with no crashes. Has anyone else seen this or am I the odd man out?
I had this last night, attaching files to Gmail or one drive crashed the files app.
You need to go to settings, apps, files, press the three dots at the top right then uninstall updates.
Sadly the app will likely update at some point so if it happens again you'll need to redo this, hopefully a system update fixes the issue.
As for nova launcher, I have been using the tablet for two days now and I have noticed that it drains battery and uses quite a lot of system resources, default ui doesn't have these issues.

Hi there Johnnio and thanks for your info sharing. I had the very same problem with my S7+: couldn't attach any file in emails or similar. I followed your advice, unistalled to previous version and now it works! What was it anyways? I'm now in android 11 since some days but with android 10 everything was just fine.
By the way, since I'm here I take advantage to ask you another thing. In android 10, while moving up the 'recent apps' line on the left I could scroll the apps holding them with my finger. Now with android 11 I cannot anymore. If I move up the recent app line I see the apps there but cannot scroll them. Im' I missing something or it is an 'improvement' (?) of the new os?
again, thank you for your advice.

Hi there, I'm guessing that the update to Android version 11 has introduced a few bugs, I expect that the files app issue will be resolved with a future update.
As for your question, I unfortunately think that this is simply a change in the new android version, there may be a setting some where to change the behaviour but unfortunately I haven't been able to find anything relevant.
Sorry that isn't much help.

You have been of great help indeed! I have been struggling to solve the app file for hours and in several forum included the Samsung members one. You have been the man!
As for the recent application scrolling I'm afraid it is a choice of the designers. In fact I have a Samsung phone with android 10. The phone settings for the recent app feature are identical only it allows the scrolling while the S7+ ain't.
Will see what's comes in the next update.
Is there a way to mention this to Samsung so to ask to get it back?

Little bug with xiaomi eu rom!

Hi guys, I've installed latest stable version of miui 12 from xiaomi eu yesterday. Everything is working great and I'm really liking it. But from the little time I've tested it, I've come across an annoying bug. When someone forwards me a link on messenger app, I cannot click on it. If he copies the link and paste, then I can click on it and it sends me to the article.
Anyone knows about this bug and how I can fix this? Thanks...
I would reset cache and data on your messenger app, to see if it fixes your problem. It might not have anything to do with MIUI 12 but maybe some settings are corrupted when it comes to link handling.

Hi..thanks for the reply. I cleaned data and cache but the problem still persists. I switched from xiaomi eu to official miui and still have the problem. And before that I was on pixel experience and never had this issue. Is there any other things that I can try to fix it?

Try updating the webview first,
Check the default browser, use chrome, also see if it's default for opening links
Check if any overlay running in background
