Wondering if anyone here may have a suggestion. For the past few months I have not been able to use anything ARCore related on my Pixel 3XL. Camera modes that use it (slow mo and playground), Measure app, etc. all crash immediately. The camera functions normally otherwise. I first noticed it when I went into the Beta program for Q, but for all I know it was happening before.
Things i have tried so far:
Reboot
Factory Reset
Complete re-install of Android 10
Complete re-install of Android 10 without restoring backups
Complete re-install of Android P without restoring backups
The only thing I can think is that I replaced a broken screen. Could I have damaged something while I had the phone open that is causing ARCore failures?

I am having major issues with android auto since Oreo
Essentially, what is happening is that the Android Auto app itself will work with two and only two apps. They are Google Maps and Google Play Music.
My problem is, none, and I truly do mean no other 3rd party apps will work with Android Auto.
I should also restate that this is a problem with the Android Auto app itself, so let's pretend no head unit or car is involved. This can be replicated on just the phone.
Here's the behavior:
-Open android auto
-Open any 3rd party app (Let's say IheartRadio)
Either one of two things happen next:
-Instantly get a screen that says "IHeartRadio Doesn't Seem to Be Working"
OR
-IHeartRadio starts like it should, and is able to play music for about 15 seconds, and then I get "Doesn't seem to be working" screen
-This happens for every 3rd party app, not just IHeart, but Plex, TuneIn, Radio Scanner, EVERYTHING except Google Play Music and Google Maps.
I should also state that Android Auto and 3rd party apps worked without a hitch, absolutely flawlessly in Nougat.
And, I've asked around the OP5t forums here and nobody is having the same problem.
-------
What I've tried so far (And hasn't worked)
-Re installing Android Auto
-Re installing every 3rd party app and re-trying
-Installing a custom ROM (Oreo) (Same exact behavior right after factory reset flashing new rom )
-Tried installing 3rd party apps from a non google play source
-Flashing OOS 8.0 Stable, as well as OB4 thru factory wipes
What I haven't tried:
-Re-locking the bootloader and flashing back to OOS nougat (Would this even help?)
I'm totally at wits end here, folks. I bought the OP5t to accompany my new car as my old phone couldn't handle android auto, this is one of the most imporatnt features to me.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Would flashing back to nougat and locking the bootloader like the phone was brand new help me? I've never seen such a problem that persists through clean flashes.
Thank you kindly everyone,
Hey!
I had this exact same problem.
I managed to solve this.
I am on OOS Open Beta 4.
Install latest:
Android Auto:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-auto/
Android System Webview:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-system-webview/
Google Maps:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/maps/maps-9-74-0-release/
Google App:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-search/google-search-7-23-24-release/
Google Play Services:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-12-2-21-release/
After installing all the apps, reboot your phone.
Android auto should work smooth again!
Just FYI, the bootloader status (locked/unlocked) has nothing to do with this.

Hey there, first and foremost, thank you so much for taking time to respond! I tried your suggestion, but I'm still not having any luck
I'm going to keep messing around with it, but thank you again for the reply.

Ohh that is really weird. Make sure you install all the Google Beta apps, and also the latest Android Auto version.
Are you using the Red Dash cable?

Yes, I'm using the dash cable that came with the phone, but this problem is isolated within the android auto app. I don't need to connect it to the car to get the issues I'm having. Just launching the app on the phone itself and starting up a 3rd party app will trigger the "seems to not be working" screen.
If I connect it to the car, the same behavior happens. No issue with the connection to the car since I'm still able to use Maps and Play.
I'm considering flashing back to nougat to see if it works and OTA'ing til I get stable 8.0 and dirty flashing OB4 today.
UPDATE!!!
I got it working, and how I fixed it was a total PITA, but it works and I'm on OOS OB4.
Here's what I did:
1. Download the first available nougat OOS and flash it. Factory wipe from stock recovery. Once booted, install android auto and 3rd party apps. Test if it works, if so...
2. Sign in google account and update to 5.0.4 via OOS updater
3. Once rebooted into 5.0.4, take OB4 and stick it onto root, and reboot to recovery again
4. I dirty flashed OB4 over 5.0.4 and it seems to work fine!
I haven't tested this in my car yet, I will be on a long drive tomorrow and update results.
Waze on android auto
Waze is working parallel to google Maps without any problems. When you open navigate both programs are shown.
Damn I just noticed it. My maps work but I tried to open Google play music and got the same error.
That was the one thing that consistently worked for me. Which rom are you on?
A while ago I was using lineage on my g5 but after some bank app issues, I started using the stock ROM again. After the Oreo update (November I guess?) some apps became unusable, some examples are the YouTube that freezes for more than 10 seconds and crashes shortly after or WhatsApp that when I click on any conversation it freezes for a long time before becoming responsible again. If I try to open any game it freezes on the splash art as well. I tried a factory reset but the problem still happens, so I downgraded to 7.0 and it still persists even though it wasn't happening in this version in the past.
I am out of ideas, any suggestions?

Do running problematic apps (that you have mentioned) while phone's in the safe mode change something? Does the phone feel more responsive than usually? If yes, try the following. Backup all of your important data and wipe your phone one more time (data + cache). Then, set it up as a brand new and start installing (don't restore them) the apps you use slowly (one by one) to determine, which one may cause lag.

Yeah the phone is more responsive. Everything is normal, then I tried opening YouTube (one of the problematic apps that aren't disabled in safe mode) and it is still freezing and after some seconds it is crashing. So the problem is still happening even in safe mode.
I thought it would be a problem with media in general but the photo app and chrome are working normally.

While experiencing the lag and freezing...
Do you have an sdcard inserted? If yes, is it formatted as an external storage or as an adoptable storage (means extends internal memory)?
Which ROM are you running (if stock, write its build number also)? Write all modifications made to your phone too (e.g. unlocked bootloader, TWRP or Magisk installed etc.), please.
One more thing to ask, which version of Moto G5 do you own (2/32 or 3/16) and aren't you running out of system resources (e.g. RAM) constantly? Check your average RAM usage (in Oreo, it's under "Developer options") and the apps which consume the biggest amount of the RAM.
Keeps resetting at the Bring your data from... step.
Whether I tap 'Don't Copy' or 'A backup from the cloud'. It attempts it, then just goes back to the same screen. Then after a second or third attempt it says Android Setup keeps stopping and I can only close the app.
Everything seems to be fine though, I can use my phone like normal. Just every time I pull down notifications, there is that bug blue notification that I need to continue with Setup.
I installed the mini MindTheGapps package if that could have anything to do with it.
Should I just reset everything and start over? Dont want to if possible since I have set up everything else at this point heh...
I have read other threads about this issue over the years but nothing has seemed to help.
Not sure if relevant but this in on a Oneplus One
Thank you all.
Thats a GApps issue. I don't use that Google APPs
The only solution I've seen to that is reinstall LOS (and twrp 3.3.3 if you want), reboot to recovery, install gapps, reboot to system. I believe I got that flow from one of the install guides.
I'm going to assume you also didn't get the full google login experience setting language and account and all that jazz either.
I've had to do the same as above for a LOS update too which is a bit annoying. But I have not experimented too much.
Xiaomi Mi 10T 12.1.1.0.RJDMIXM
I experienced the following issues after recently updating to Android 11. Any help would be much appreciated.
1. I can no longer side load any app.
APK installation fails every time whether it's attempted on the phone or via ADB. I tried everything I could find online short of disabling MIUI optimization, as I'd prefer not to suffer the pain of resetting permissions (again). Has anyone successfully restored side load functionality in Android 11 by disabling MIUI optimization?
It may instead be related to something Google introduced with Android 11 called app integrity, which apparently makes it more difficult (hopefully not impossible) to install apps from sources other than the Play store. If this is the culprit, does anyone know of a workaround that doesn't involve me having to root my phone (too much hassle/risk for my liking), or reverting to Android 10 (assuming that's possible)?
2. MX Player keeps crashing after a few seconds of video playback.
I'm not sure whether this is a fault of MX Player, MIUI or Android 11. It's the latest version and worked just fine before the update.
3. BlackPlayer keeps hanging whenever I open it.
I'm not sure whether this is a fault of BlackPlayer, MIUI or Android 11. It's the latest version and worked just fine before the update.
I updated my Mi10T Pro to Android 11 with that version through OTA. After multiple reboots all sorts of weird things were still happening and I wasn't happy using the phone. The things you describe are the sort of problems I had - though not those things specifically.
I the end I figured I had no choice but to do a Factory Reset. Yes, it was a painful process re-authenticating into most apps, but since then the phone has been completely stable and no issues, including easy sideloading.
Neither of these three issues were solved by performing a factory reset, unfortunately.
Although, it turns out that if you uninstall 'MIUI security components' (com.miui.guardprovider) when debloating – something I believe Xiaomi introduced with this version of MIUI – you lose the ability to side load. Leaving it alone retains the ability to install from unknown sources.
So at least that's fixed!
New problem. Starting with this version of MIUI, if you allow an app to display permanent notifications, they'll be shown on the lock screen even if you've disabled lock screen notifications. I suppose this will get fixed in a future update.
For Mx player issue.. Temporary fix is every time you open it, after opening go to the mx player app info and force stop it then open mx player again. You'll be able to play videos normally.
Hi, I am having this frustrating issue on my note 10+
Apps wont update from play store
Cant install new apps
Have tried clearing cache, data, removed google account and tried adding
Wiped Cache Partition
Booted into safe mode and tried - same issue, no apps can be installed, updated
Cache cleared
data cleared
I noticed this since the Android 12 and UI 4x was updated on my phone
Keeps giving me an error "Try again, and it it still doesnt work, see more common ways to fix the problem"
leads me to google help page and asks me to do steps 1-4 above
I do not want to reset the phone, pain pain pain
Can you please help me resolve this issue?
I been having the same issue. Im glad it's not just me.. have the same phone. Im on mint mobile.
Like you, tried all that you have listed, nothing works.
Contacted Samsung and they said ' well since you have tried the basic methods, need to send it in to be looked at or go to a certified Samsung servicer.' which is like 3hrs away from me.
Like you, I am pondering doing an factory reset.
Did some more scouring, and came across this.To disable the device care...worked for me. Hope it works for you.

Playstore is a mess and a battery hog. I use it as little as possible.
I package disable it. I avoid "sampling" apps on Playstore unless I need to; they can damage the system making a factory reset necessary sometimes to repair the damage if you can't undo it. It's rare but it can happen.
I use ApkExport to backup all my apps. This is what I use if I need to reload, it's much faster and more precise.
Updates and upgrades can and do break things.
This N10+ is running on Pie, last firmware update was almost 2.5 years ago. The current OS will be 2 yo in June. Still fast, stable with minimal maintenance. Security is not an issue.
My new N10+ is running on Android 10, it has a better UI but it's also more of a pain.
More than likely neither will ever be upgraded especially the newer one.
With scoped storage fully active in 11 it will slow the N10+ down. There are multiple issues with 12, I recommend not upgrading to 12 or 11 for that matter... you can likely rollback 12 to 11, but not 11 to 10 as the bootloader was upgraded too.
Same is true with 10 to 9, it can't be rolled back.
Look before you leap...
