this is my first android device so i don't know if there's a history with this problem but, as the title suggests, i sometimes can't open apps.
when i click on it, the app will start to fade as if launching, but that's it. i'll keep clicking it and it'll just fade in and out. i have to exit the app drawer and go in again in order to open the app. it's increasingly happening more often now.
anyone else have this issue?
Hi
I've been considering the LG V10 and wanted to hear from the XDA community on how useful the 2nd screen actually was. Is the second screen more than a novelty? What do you use yours for? What apps can utilize the 2nd screen? How often do you use the 2nd. screen and how does it effect battery life?Screen caps would be welcome.
It's a useful novelty, I wish they would have bumped up the front facing cameras and gave us the option to have a 5.9 inch screen. Useful for checking time w/out unlocking phone as we as being able to change songs w/out unlocking especially useful while driving
I really enjoy the lack of notification cards on the main screen. The past few phones I've had (Note 5, Nexus 6, S6 Edge) have all had the Lollipop style cards that block way too much of the screen. With this phone, the notifications just go to the secondary screen so you can keep focus on what you're doing but still be able to see it. Also, the music controls have been amazing so far and it makes it so much easier as you don't have to pull the shade or switch apps to change tracks or pause (Noticing a trend here lol?). And finally, I use it for having favorite contacts set up (similar to the only good concept of the edge IMO). Hope this helps, so far I love this phone!
I am loving the second screen and find it very useful.
For shortcuts I have tapatalk, chrome, maps, camera and settings.
I love that it also has the 5 most recent apps. I came from a note 2 and waiting for long press for the recent apps was a pain! Of course this phone has a button for that anyway but I still like having them just sitting up there.
I am also using the contact shortcuts to try to replace my direct dial and text shortcuts I had on my home screens. I'm still trying to get used to that.
I definitely like that the date and time is always showing so I can check without waking the phone.
I also recently discovered that if I swipe over to the left when the main screen is sleeping there are shortcuts for the camera, flashlight, Wi-Fi toggle and sound /vibrate toggle.
I love it.
So far I think I'm using the app shortcuts the most.

BTW guys, not exactly related to the secondary-screen alone but how is the "alt-tab" performance; toggling between recent apps?
Say you cycle between the 5 recent apps; do they pop-up just immediately without any delay and at the exact point where you have left the app? (i.e. a web page doesn't reload, Twitter doesn't refresh like you are opening the app for the first time).
So far I really like the second screen. I keep having an issue where my Hangouts keep showing up as the big banner across the screen (sms seems to show on the secondary though). I also with when the screen was off it would show the whole notification, not just the icon. It would also be nice to choose how long the notification stayed on the second screen. I feel like it pops up and goes away so fast.
I wish the quick contacts could be set as direct dial. I will never use on of those icons to text. I need quick to just dial the primary contacts I have.
Two words: Spotify controls.
Spotify's lock widget was awful, and it always frustrated me that I had to unlock the phone to restart a song. Now I don't even have to turn the lock screen on to do it. This alone made love the second screen.
I thought it might be gimmicky, but I like using it to switch between apps and the music control is nice.

Generally yes, the ram management is very good
I find it useful. Even if u don't plan in using it shouldn't be a bother.
App switching is better, faster since you don't have to flip through cards. I always preferred the old school Android where it just showed the app icons of previous apps
Google Now cards flash with basketball game scores without interrupting whatever I'm doing.
Same with calls. They show up on the second screen.
I'm looking to run multiple instances of the same app in split screen, but use them live at the same time. I can get both into split screen, but as we know, Android forces one in the background and the other in the foreground.
My question is, is there a tweak that exists, either for Closed, Magisk, or anything that gives us the ability to have both apps in split screen, active and in the foreground?
Kind of with Skyolinhelper or XHFW3. I can get a messaging app to continue running over a full screen app with them. Not all fullscreen apps though, like games pause still. Can't remember if XHFW can have more than one window active but Skyolinhelper I know can't. XHFW isn't working on Oreo.

Hello!
My wife who seems to fill every byte of data on her phone with useless games and apps has got this super annoying screen lock which I cannot figure out what app it belongs to so I can remove the sucker!
This thing is so invasive! When she gets a call you have to swipe that locker and then go through no more than two advertisements before you even get to the native lock screen. By that time the call is long gone!
As an IT professional of 25 years I tell her to stop downloading everything that people say "Oh get this app ..." on Facebook!
I personally have never had the need to do something like this since I don't download garbage!
Any help is soooooooo welcome and very appreciated!
Regards, Dave
when the lockscreen comes up press the recents key and you maybe will see it
It's tedious, but you could look through the permissions of each suspected app. When you find one that has either UI Overlay or Lockscreen permissions, then delete it and check.

Thanks for the response!
While I was searching around for it the app crashed! YES! I had to school my Mrs. that a live wallpaper will never be 183mb, well shouldn't be. So the crappy apps name was Neon Butterfly. Now it's time to destroy it on the Play Store. Who ever was the dev for this was just getting paid for a stupid amount of ads.
Again, Thanks!
Anyone know if it's possible to always open the app (assuming the user has an app open) in side-by-side mode when unfolding?
Presumably this would need to be done with Tasker...
for that I use "Split Screen Launcher" in the play store BY paprikanotfound
*note sometimes it might be glitchy if one app was already open. but its a good enough way.
Actually you can do this natively by launching the apps in split-screen, then taking the splitter and saving to the home screen.
What I want though is for the app that your currently using in fold mode - when you unfold it automatically is on the left side of the screen and the home-screen shows on the right ready for you to launch a second app...
in that case you might be able to do it by using a new profile
choose State > Display Orientation > Landscape
then create a task for it search for split screen toggle and voila
*note this require my xml file

unfortunately using custom launcher breaks the default split screen shortcuts at least on my device.
