Swiping is what is making it happen. Just Did A Full Wipe/ Factory Reset. As You Can See, It Didn't Help!

I have the same problem. The keyboard is capitalizing the first letter of every word in ALL of my messaging apps. It does not seem to be happening in the browser or in Google search. Did you find a fix yet?

Another Strange Issue. If I Go To The App Drawer, tap into the search bar the hit the letter "K" it will crash the app drawer. Still Persists After Factory Reset.

Originally my note 8 was T-Mobile but I Odin to N950U1 just got the update this morning everything went well. I was reading about a possible brick? I'm glad it didn't happen.

it must be a model or carrier specific issue, I have an F and an F/DS F is through Vodafone and F/DS is unbranded, both Exynos, neither of them have these issues after update

Thanks for letting me know. I had switched keyboards last week. I tried the samsung keyboard yesterday but the problem was still there. I could not find any updates in the Galaxy Apps store, but I did find that the keyboard had updated itself without letting me know. It is now on version 2.1.03.23, and works great again!

[Q] Error Message - w-home not responding

Anyone else see this? My Gear S is freezing up and giving me this error message. Resets and rebooting does not help.

YES! Annoying as hell!
I had this same problem after installing an app that, I think, was written for the Gear 2, and quickly (sloppy) patched to work with the S..
I did most everything I could to get the error to stop, but once the issue starts...that's it...the remedy is within the currently inaccessible system files.
In the end, I had to do a full reset AND setup. And, FYI, I was unable to use the restore function from any of the previous backups (this only replicated the error).

w-home not responding problem
I had the exact same problem and had to reset without restore. Problem is probably related to one of my recent installs, most likely one of the following (sorry I am not able to narrow it down further):
euronews EXPRESS
Thomson Reuters
Smart Hub
Bike!
vCounter
News Republic
Anybody else notice same problem since installing one of the above?

Fine. Watch it though, as it seems that similar (?) apps like "PhoneOn" also trigger the problem!

It seems that there is a number of applications that can trigger it. I do not know enough to spot what they have in common but I found another culprit: Appy Geek for Gear. Keep it installed you face the problem in one of its notifications. Uninstall it, the problem is gone.
It also seems that until you find which app gives you the problem, there is a way to avoid it: Turn Notifications off from the Android Gear Management app.
I don't have any of those apps and I had the device do that to me as well. I rebooted the Gear and the issue continued, but once I cleared all 50 of my notifications, I haven't had that problem.

Was able to clear notifications and that seemed to resolve it. The timing was every 2-3 days for me and then the lock up would start. I have minimized notifications to only the most critical ones (which makes sense). So far so good.

I hada same trouble with news republic... Very annoying!
Actually, as somebody else said it is because of the notifications. The apps don't really do anything to the watch unless they're running and they crash your phone. I would've assumed that notifications would clear from the watch once they were cleared from the phone but they just accumulate over time. The problem seems to be that each new notification adds another page to the homescreen to the left. Just clear your notifications every once in a while and it will stop freezing up, it did with me.

FC on Google App

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 updated to today's OTA and now I only get headlines in Google now

I updated to today's OTA and now I only get headlines in Google now.
When I swipe left I see all the articles with only the headline and a photo. No short summary.
The "more articles" section it's not affected.a refresh or system restart does not change
anything.

It seems I should refer to it as "Google feed" now. No-one else has this issue?
The S9+ is not rooted. Some things were removed after I bought it using ADB, but that has been some time ago. I had at least 2 OTA's since. This happened after I accepted the last OTA (of this weekend).

Are you talking about OS OTAs or updates to the Google app? Your original and follow up post weren't clear enough for anyone to offer help. It does seem like there may be an issue with Google Feed with an easy fix though. Changing the wallpaper. Seems silly, but might help you.

Hi... I was referring to the OS OTA of last weekend.
The link you gave me is indeed what's happened to me. Thanks!!!
The new problem I'm facing now is that I'm now somehow tangled in a Samsung account which I refuse to make.
Maybe i need to remove that wallpaper manager to get one that is not linked to Samsung.
If I can't find that I'll be back.
Many thanks
EDIT:
I removed Samsung themes and installed some other app and my feeds have returned

Weird delay doing trivial tasks on Android 9

Hello, ever since I installed Android Pie on my V30 I've been having quite big delays when doing trivial things system-related.
For example it happens a lot that after I let my phone sit for a while it sometimes takes up to 3 seconds to load the recent apps view after I press the button...
I also get weird delays when using the settings app, every thing I click has such a delay that the click animation has time to finish.
Now this may seem normal, but it definitely isn't, I didn't have it on Oreo, I don't have it on my Zenfone 3, and it saddens me that my old phone can be snappier than my new phone, makes it feel very wrong.
I will post a video so you can see what I mean, hopefully someone knows how to fix this, because it makes me want a custom ROM really badly, but I don't want to lose my 2 years of warranty when I know this phone can have issues with things like burn-in.
Video
It seems very mild in the video, but it's sometimes embarrassing using the phone with friends when it lags out a LOT...
Have you done anything at all with it? Wiped cache? Factory reset?

I haven't done a factory reset, I could do it, but I would have to be sure it's an issue with my android and not everyone's.
I have quite a bit of data on my phone, so factory resetting to find out if it's my issue is not my thing...
About cache... what cache?
Well, as mentioned above you can factory reset, or you can also take a backup with lg bridge, just a back up, it has already been reported that it fixes the lag you're experiencing, and lastly you can reset apps preference in settings, which also fixes the lag
Try holding power and volume down until it restarts
Cache clear: use Files by Google.

I had exactly the same issues when I updated to Pie without wiping data a few weeks ago. Did a factory reset and reflashed Pie again, which mostly solved my issues. On occasion there is a choppy animation here or there, but I think that's just because LG hasn't perfected Pie on the V30... Setting animation speed to 0.5 in dev options makes it less noticable.
(I'm rooted though so factory resets are not a big hassle for me)
And what's weird, since Pie my phone is smoother when running 1440p instead of 1080p. What?
So I factory reset my phone like you guys said, and it did fix some things, like the notifications not stacking properly and the Pie navigation gestures work better now, but my issue is still there, the delays are still there...

This is odd, that should not be happing. Can you list the steps on how you upgrade to Pie?
Also no need for a custom ROM. This device is fast. Are you rooted and flashed a zip? Pure stock?

yeah, it's like it unloads the recent tasks view and every time I call it, it has to load back up... I can't even double-tap the recent apps button to switch app properly because of the delays.
LG's software is so bad man, it makes such good hardware feel horrible...
I read somewhere that manually closing all open apps (not with the clear all button, but manually swiping) can help too.
Have you played around with the battery/power settings at all?

Like what? I didn't touch them yet, it shouldn't have any restrictions.
Yes there's a big delay when opening recents, but only if the 3 button nav bar layout is active. If the "gesture" nav bar is active, there's no issue.

I know your first post you made it clear about root and warranty. You don't have to worry about any of that since you can unroot and relock the bootloader.
Have you tried a factory reset? Sorry if you mention that already and I missed it. I've also seen people say to do a LG Bridge backup. Somehow it resets a few settings and the device returns to normal.

It's very odd how I see some users have issues while others don't. As an example, I did a clean flash to pie and I had to do it multiple times because it wouldn't flash correctly. Others flashed ok on the first try. Some people dirty flashed and the device ran good while some has issues.

It's not THAT bad, it was way worse back on v30b, but it's still here. Did a clean flash.
