When I first boot / reboot it works fine. But after a little time, no matter what app I am in, pressing the icon in the top left corner (left arrow or 3 lines) stops working. I'm running an AT&T V10 so I'm not rooted. No idea what is doing this. It stops working in every app.

Exact same issue here. T- mobile. Even when I rotate the screen it's still the top left. Anyone know what the deal is?
Following as I have the exact same issue. T-Mobile Device unlocked
What icon is this for? Got a pic?

Same Here. T-Mobile. Mine and My Wives Phone Having the same problem. Mine is Rooted & My Wives is Not Rooted.
Does not matter what app. Any open app will not respond to touches on the top left side.
After reboot work for a little while then stops again.
Any Help Or Ideas To Fix This Problem Would Be Greatly Appreciated.
On Verizon.. Same problem.. If I reboot the phone it will work again for a while then go back to not working ?
I figured out what it was and tested it with some other people. If you're having this issue, then I can almost guarantee that you have the latest updates installed for Facebook Messenger. Uninstall that app (or revert) and your problem will be solved. It was happening on my S6 Edge as well. r

Yep! Uninstalling FB Messenger worked. I ended up installed an app called Disa, works just as good with all the bells and whistles.
So far, it has worked for me, Thanks.

Hey everyone. Whatsapp keeps force closing on me when I try to share an image from the gallery application. From within whatsapp it's fine. But only while sharing from the gallery application.
I wrote Whatsapp over a week ago and as usual they don't answer. So I'm not sure. I doubt it's the phone because I've tried 3 different ROMs and I've had the same issue with all of the roms. So I don't know what to do. It's not that big of a deal, but it is kind of a bother. Sometimes I just get a black screen and I have to back out completely and just go into whatsapp itself to do it.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Solved: Whatsapp wrote me back today and the woman pointed me to the updated version they had on their website which totally fixed my issues! Thanks whatsapp hehe.
It works for me just fine...dont know why you have the issue..
infact i never had this issue in the various stock ROM's i have used in the past
I am on whatsapp version 2.7.431
If you are rooted try fix permissions , ROM manager has it... CWM recovery has it..might be few other ways too...
also check the settings in whatsapp, if the system status is showing working OK...
check if it works when you are on wifi...

I'm not rooted, that's the thing. All the roms have been stock (either an updated or not updated OS). Everything else on my phone works except this! It's strange. If I am not rooted can I still check permissions or anything else that you said? I'm also not interested in rooting. Thanks for the help
SOLVED! See first post

I'm not sure myself why that fc pops up for some and not others but I think there is an Xposed module just for getting rid of that particular fc. Probably worth a try
- Sent From My G3
Yup, same here. It didn't start immediately post-root. I've tried completely defrosting all apps in TiBu (I've not deleted anything) hoping one of 'em was the culprit, but no change. Freezing Google Play Services eliminates the error at boot, but also causes issues with Hangouts, among other apps.
EDIT: After a number of minutes after rebooting, the message does go away on its own. Perhaps a issue with some app loading sequencing?
I used some sort of Xposed mod in regards to this Gapps Crash so far so good I've rebooted a bunch and it hasn't come up. Odd thing is the mod said it was for a display at 240 DPI. Not sure what the G3s is but yea lol..

Yeah, saw that module, but it noted it was for the Note 2 running, as you mentioned, at 240 dpi so didn't install it.
Definitely install it still. It took away the Gapps Crash at boot for me ?

I was having the same issue. What I found out that was causing this popup was Google Keyboard. I uninstalled it and went back to stock, and never had it since.

Ding Ding Ding! Well done...unfortunately. I really don't like the stock keyboard, and have tried about every other one in the play store at one time or another. Will try a re-install.

Hey guys!!
Just got my S6 Edge and loving everything about it so far except...
My Ok Google anywhere isn't working. It's not even presenting me an option to turn it on. Also "enable audio history" option is missing which I know is necessary to get it all working.
I have done a factory reset, enabled and disabled S Voice, primary language English US, and deleted app data etc! I am running a stock Telus Samsunf S edge. I don't know if it's firmware dependent or not.
If anyone can suggest anything else, I'm all ears!!
Thanks in advance!

Looks like they removed it I had it yesterday now it's gone there was a update last night
Ah, that's a shame. At least I'm not the only one!!
Hope they come to their senses and come out with an update to enable it again!
Yep was there yesterday and gone now.
Perhaps it was sucking too much battery? Can't say I really used it that much but it was a cool feature. Will just have to press and hold home button to use it! A bit of a pain!
Found a work around for now...
Using an app called "Now Gesture Tweaks" which allows me to press and hold the home button to activate Voice Search and Nova Launcher gesture "Swipe Up" for Google.
Gives us a similar effect.
voice your disapproval: @S6NoOKGoogle https://twitter.com/S6NoOKGoogle
Don't you guys have "google settings" in your app drawer? All "OK Google" settings are right there.
EDIT: My bad.. deep down to the detection settings, it is gone!! How!? So is this Samsung's fault or Google's fault?
Yup. It's global and it's just all the variants of the S6 & S6 Edge. Some Nexus devices seem to be broken but still have their options.

I used it on a regular daily basis. Very frustrating for them to pull it without notice...
What is even more frustrating is that neither Google or Samsung is taking the heat for this,,,both are referring us to each other LOL,,,classic tactic.

Unfortunately same, not working.
It doesn't work on my Note 2, my wife's S3, and even my coworker's Walmart Alcatel phone alll running Kitkat and all did the latest update.
Its a bigger issue and Google doesn't seem to be too concerned
I got an update yesterday and it is working now, well at least from the homescreen.
Sprint S6 Edge w/Nova Launcher, OK Google works from any screen.
Does the widget need to be on the home screen for it to work
Sent from my SM-G925F using XDA Free mobile app
Not for me
Wow, just realized I don't need the widget at all for hotword to work. Cool
supposedly the 5.1.1 update will bring the OK Google functionality back.
Is your S-Voice App activated? Or did you disable that? I've read that either having it on or off might enable OK GOOGLE from any screen to work.

I recently just received my Samsung Galaxy S6 edge and had set everything up but as soon as I update my Google App to the latest version, it force closes. If I go back to the version of the app it came with, then all is well. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

Yeh my phone was unusable and I couldn't even factory reset through touchwiz, it would just hang on shutting down . I had to hard reset through recovery. Seems alright now.
I also get a lot of fc on google play and other apps shutting down randomly.

I just installed an update from tmobile something about bug fixes and security . Sorry was to busy to write down the details but hope it fixes the phantom touches..
UPDATE 2: Oh no, it actually made the phantom touches worse, now instead of just the top section where you have the camera droop the thumb coordinates would trigger buttons on that spot, but now with the update, according to the touch sensors from developer options it shows the left and right touch coordinates will trigger even more around the screen. I think it just broke this phone.
Can anyone pls confirm this. The update has made the phantom touches worse and now my phone is unusable to play games because it always triggers buttons I don't touch when I make certain movements playing the games or apps

Dude that's so crazy maybe you should try a factory reset without restoring data too. Rcs is fully working for me out of nowhere again. It started working again yesterday before I received the update.

Thanks, I tried. Even had the phone replaced. T-Mobile thinks it might be the provisioning on my account, but I don't buy it since Google messages works. But I'm stumped, I can't even send a simple meme to someone on the stock app. I just says sending forever and never goes. I've tried wifi, 5g, 4g, resetting apn settings etc... Craziest dam thing

Please enable developer options and then enable the two options, show touches and show touch data. On my V60 when I hold the phone horizontally as if to game using my left and right thumbs the touch data will show lines intersecting for each thumb press and the coordinates where the lines touch will show a circle indicating that point will trigger any onscreen button that it will touch. Can you pls try this, so I can see if I have a defective V60. Thanks

I get errors with screenshots that say can't send, then I retry and am presented with 2 options, retry with original size or send as MMS. The photos always go thru when I choose MMS. However, I have an issue with stock as well. Can't attach a gif, only sends a link, and no notification in AA unless it's a short code message. I'm getting real tired of having to switch to 3rd party to do those 2 things and then back again to see typing and delivery indicators and faster photo sharing.

You can use Google messages and get the RCS experience without switching back and forth. I would just prefer to use the stock app if it would work

The stock app is definitely much nicer then it used to be. I very much prefer it over Android messages when/if it's working. Thankfully like I said it just happened to start working for me again. Maybe it's just TMobile and google ironing out all the kinks who knows.
