This is driving me crazy!!!
When my phone is off sitting on a table and it rings, the screen does not come on. Just sound. I thought it was the theme, so I removed it from the dialer app and that didnt help. I removed the update in the Playstore and the screen comes on again when it rings. I removed auto update for the app, but what could be the reason the updated app isn't working for me?
Stock dialer or a custom app from app store?

Your issue has been reported by several others as well. They are doing the same thing you are to make it work. Would recommend you log complaint on play store under the phone app and see what happens. I truly think Google does this to jack with the themeers!

Stock, but I can't take it anymore, so I removed the update and installed Simpler dialer. I can't even disable the stock dialer or the screen won't come on. It's just been removed as default at this point.
I just read reviews for the app and tons of people are reporting it. What a joke!!!

I don't know if this will help or not, but a couple weeks or so ago, the Google phone app was giving me trouble with themeing. It was due to the fact that the theme was actually ahead of the Google update(go figure). So another user figured it out and linked me to the phone app on apk mirror. So I uninstalled the phone app, downloaded the apk mirror version from December 14th, installed it, and it worked great with my theme. What's more is that even after the update from Google, I'm not having the issue that you are, or many others for that matter. Here's the link if you want to give it a go. Can't promise anything, but what the heck :good:

Thanks for that. The dev of the theme I am using replied to me because his theme was not working on the phone app. He told me I needed to install this version
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-phone/google-phone-15-0-179075669-release/
I installed it and applied the theme and it worked. Since the latest update, it doesn't. The version you posted is different than the one he did. I'm half tempted to try it, but at this point I have all the updates off the phone app and using a different dialer and it's working.
Also, how are you uninstalling the stock phone app...all I can do is uninstall the updates and disable.?

I uninstalled it using my root explorer. I just delete the apk, reboot, and gone. Have to be rooted though. If nothing else, just install the apk, then if you wind up with 2 phone apps, just disable or freeze the bad one. Or, just do what your currently doing. The updates aren't that big a deal anyways :good:

Just tried it. Once I apply theme, phone won't light up. Deleted 3rd party dialer, removed theme from dialer you provided. Now I'm using the Google dialer you gave me in stock white blinding form. A bit pissed...
I have the same issue. In my case I have a gear s3, and if I disconnect the bluetooth, when the call is coming the screen turn up normally, but if the gear is connected, the screen stays black..Additional, when you take a call or do a call, the sound automatically is route to the bluetooth device, I have to habilitate the sound in the phone manually. I think it was with the January update or the phone app last update, because other people have the same issue in their android devices. The solution for now is go to Play Store, search Phone app for Google, uninstall the updates, then go to settings in the phone - Apps - Phone, and clear the cache and data, force stop of the app. The phone app come back to another version (12.1...) which doesn't have this issue, after that the calls working normally. I hope for a fix from Google...

how do I update apps like Amazon, photobucket, etc.? I can't update them from the market since I didn't download the from there in the first place.
download it from the market. Just try it. Download it, dispite it not shown in the market as an update. Once installed the phone and your market will see it as an update.

yep
First time I logged into the market, it autoupdated all the junk. Goggles and visual voicemail won't update but that's it.
Yeah, I didn't even find "Visual Voicemail" in the marketplace anymore.
I'm pretty sure that T-Mobile might have pulled it from the market entirely.
Anyway, I can't seem to update Google Goggles either. I've tried several times, but it never seems to actually update and install the latest version.
Would it be safe to use Titanium Backup to remove that system application? Or is that not even possible, considering I've read that people have tried to remove the "bloatware" but it just seems to reappear after a reboot.
Any insights?

Damn, no more HD2 huh?
Yeah you can remove the bloatware from your device. Well, disable not remove. Read on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809231
Ha.
No way, Jose!
I still have my HD2, it's just collecting dust on my computer desk right now.
I thought about using it as a fly swatter, but that seemed too dramatic!
KIDDING!
But yeah, that thing is legendary, so I couldn't just be rid of it.
And thanks for pointing me in the right direction man, good lookin' out!
If you don't want to disable the app which is very easy to do over terminal emulator, try freezing the app with titanium backup. That way you can see how your phone will work with it disabled. For example if you freeze/disable the stock messenger app no messaging app will work after that until you unfreeze/enable the stock one. Same thing with youtube. If you freeze the app and download the newer one off the market it wont work.
Some 3rd party app depend on the stock app to be functional. Let me know if you need help disabling an app. I'll make a video. I <3 my new camera. I traded a gun for it.
I can't seem to update Goggles...
I've disabled the application, then tried to update it from the marketplace, and still nothing manages to install.
I have successfully updated every other system application through the marketplace, with the exception of Goggles.
How can this application be updated properly?
Have you tried to enable it then update?

Hello,
I heard that the new update from t mobile would include a new GTalk with videos along with some other new apps.
I installed the one posted in the dev section and the only change I notice is a new music app. Where is GTalk? Is there anything else that was supposed to be added? Is the updated posted here incomplete compared to the one officially from t mobile?
Thanks.

This is the reason I am waiting for the FOTA/OTA and I just want a clean install.......but the longer it takes the more likely I WILL USE ODIN. I hate this rollout....it sucks.
Google talk app is included in the update. The application talk is google talk the video is built in the chat app itself.

I haven't seen the update in the market nor the firmware method. How do we go about "updating".
I just bought this phone, but I am still thinking about whether to root it at this point. I mean, I would love to because of all this BS bloatware, but I kinda want to get to know the phone first.
just use the available update and use odin. it'll keep your apps that doesnt need root, intact. i havent tried rooting mine to see if the other apps that requires root will pop back on. and yes, i wiped mine clean and started fresh.
so my point is, if you want a clean install, still just use the odin version and factory reset it through the settings. it'll be just as fresh as one straight from FOTA/OTA
hth
EDIT: oh btw, i did root mine, after resetting it back to factory defaults.

I strongly recommend updating through Odin, then Factory Reset after.
Works perfectly, this ROM is perfect for this BEAST of a phone
If you are like me, you hate the all white of default Sammy N because it's obnoxious and straining. I have figured out how to apply purchased themes to the N beta. I was not able to purchase new ones either. I would get an error, even if I had the links.
Go to the Galaxy Apps store and select Categories. At the top of that page there will be a themes banner. Click on that, then go to the three dots at the top. Hit "My Page" then "Purchased". Your themes should be there, and you'll be able to download and apply them.
*Added screenshots in second post. The full site corrupted the pics and the mobile app wouldn't let me add in an edit.*

The Galaxy Apps Store shows that it is installed, but I can't access it. Am I missing something? I don't have anything disabled.
I realized I can do this through Samsung Themes without having to go through the Galaxy Apps Store. Thanks!!!
Anyone else have issues with Ultra Powersaving Mode? I disabled it and after resetting my phone everything was blown up out of proportion, wallpaper reverted, quick toggles reverted, and several other setting reverts. Had a theme installed so it may be related during restoring theme.

I had that issue at first as well. The App store automagically appeared somehow. Going through themes should work, but I bet an error every time I try to do it through settings.

I am on the latest 7.1.2 Verizon build and I noticed when I did a factory reset that in Google+ settings, I no longer have the option under settings to keep the contacts up to date. This option would always keep my user profile picture under the phone settings to stay updated instead of a blank photo. Anybody else seeing this?
Yes, thank you! I thought I was going nuts lol
I just got a OnePlus 3t (my N5x put itself in reboot purgatory) and while trying to set it up, I couldn't find this option for the LIFE of me.
Any idea on how we can get this functionality back?
I really liked how it synced with my G+ profile pic and I never had to worry about it...

Google removed it a couple weeks ago. You have to load your own image under quick settings account now. As for tracking contacts where abouts you can do it through maps. But the person you tracking needs to set up who they share location with

On Marshmallow (6.0.1), I was getting "App not Installed" errors when I tried to install the old APK over the new one; had to revert the G+ app to stock (Settings > Apps > Google + - tap top right, then "Uninstall Updates") first to get the older APK to install.

I have the same problem on my Pixel XL running 7.1.2 (NJH47B).
The fix is fine at first, but stops working when I update Google+ to the latest version again.
Funnily enough, this doesn't affect my older devices running Android 6.x and below - my profile picture stays ok regardless of Google+ version.
Help, anybody?
Any luck for anyone?

The same thing happen on the beta version of Android O.
Is the app down ,I click on it and it just sticks on the XDA logo ,website forum obviously working ok ,but the app seems to have an issue
Upgrades on the server side can cause outages. Try again after some time and update to the latest version
Much of the app seems to have suddenly shifted. I'm not sure I understand many of the changes especially as it's not been updated for 2 weeks
Seems to be working for me.
i gave up on it the last update broke it
i just use website now
are you using the old version....new:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.labs.play
The app works so-so. It could definitely use tons of improvement. It's good for push notifications. Every once in a while, clicking on a push notification will start launching the XDA app but then it goes away. Relaunching manually from the app icon works fine afterward.

I thought it was just me. I switched back from iphone and didn't realize how much xda has changed since my older android endeavors.
I have not been able to use the app since 11/2 when it updated on all of my devices. It just hangs at the XDA logo. Have cleared cache, force stopped it, cleared data, and even uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still doesn't work. There are plenty of comments on the Google Play Store with complaints about the app not working but the app developers seem to be ignoring the comments including mine. A little acknowledgement from the developers about it would go a long way.
App never worked for me. Never loaded anything.
We've got a thread about this very crash in the xda app forum (2/3 of us are on pixel 6 pro and at least one comment in google PlayStore was a p6p too)
Latest update Broken App
So the latest PlayStore update has broken the app on Android 12. On my Pixel 6 Pro it worked fine on previous version but now it freezes on XDA logo and app never loads. Tried clearing cache/data. but no difference.

Yesterday this app would just force close after I opened it, but today it seems to open but it won't keep me logged in. How the hell can an app made by this community have so many problems? This is baffling to me.

I had this issue, I have a pihole and turning it off solved it. I am able to get back on with my pihole enabled after that. It was just the initial launch. So try disabling any ad blockers.
