It seems that many, if not all, of the apps I try to 'update' in the Android market generates an error on the Prime that says 'Application already exists' in the menu bar with an ! icon. This is annoying... I can uninstall / reinstall the app to get an update, but whenever I just click update in the Market, I get this error a lot.
Of course the application already exists! I'm updating it. Stupid Prime.
Does anyone have a fix for this? I searched the forum and didn't see anyone mention this annoying problem.
Are you getting system reboots?
Rumour has it the system reboots are a result of a failure while optimizing apps for ICS during the upgrade process.
Sounds like perhaps your OSs view of your apps is a little messed up...

No. Actually, I seem to have the least amount of problems with the Prime compared to most on the forum. Really, this issue and the weak GPS signal are the only ones I've had. Well, and the decreased wifi bandwidth when streaming bluetooth. But everything else generally runs smooth.
Two apps for example that I had this issue with... updating Google Voice and eTrade. Both of those for sure gave me the error that the app already existed. Uninstalling and reinstalling worked fine to grab the latest version.
Actually, I take that back. Sometimes when I do an uninstall / reinstall, it still says there is an update available.

Unfortunately I have the same issue. I haven't found a good way to work around it yet. As you have found sometimes uninstalling works and sometimes not.
Sometimes uninstalling it, rebooting the Prime, then reinstalling it works. Although, that's still sometimes as far as I can tell.
I've just started getting this issue when trying to update Officesuite Pro, first time it's happened.
Oddly enough when first typing this reply my Prime locked up and rebooted itself, which it's not done before.
Never had a reboot under ICS, at least not yet. But quite frequently have this problem. So I guess there is no correlation between the two.
The only anomalies that I experience are Skype or Talk video calls that suddenly die. No FC or any other message, Skype or Talk just exit.
I bet these types of problems will go away with a root and a custom rom in the future. Wish Asus would release the bootloader unlocking tool already!
Try clearing the dalvik cache?

Can you do that on a non-rooted Prime? I'm just waiting for the official unlock tool to go through that process.
This has happened to me on select apps too. Particularly xe app and officesuite pro. Can't seam to update them to the current version no matter what I do. Unistall/reinstall, clear delvik, and clear market data hasn't worked for me

Unfortunately no
I have the same problem, and i tried everything but it didn't work
Yeah... right now for me, it's Google Voice. And the worst part is, you can't get it to stop saying it's updating the market app even though it stops almost immediately. Annoying.
I get this sometimes, but I press update again and it updates fine

Random reboot is a normal way of life with android. A reboot here or there is nothing to worry about. Most of the time its from a bad app you installed. Now if you rebooting several times a day, then that's a problem. Its actually good to reboot or at least power down n then back on device every once in a while. It'll give device a fresh start on RAM and clear any mishaps that may have or could occur. Same deal with Ipad. They recommend rebooting every now n then for a fresh start and to have more ram available for use.
I haven't had this happen on my Prime, but I was having this same issue today on my Sprint GSII.
Not sure if this is a work around, but it just worked for me. Instead of updating the app from the 'my apps' section of the market, I went to the page in the market with the full app description. I clicked the update link there and it installed fine. I'll have to test this theory out more.
i too am facing similar probs. while updating WhatsApp and Skype too it shows that the application is already existing.
pls. note. both WhatsApp and Skype are under different Accounts
can this cause a prob that previously i would have installed it by 1 account and later on by another account when i changed the phone ?
pls. guide.
I have had my Z5C E5823 since January, and was pretty happy with it - It would occasionally crash (maybe once a month?) which I was fine with - I figure nothings perfect.
I recently got the update for 6.0.1 pushed to my device and downloaded/installed it without issue. I started noticing right away that it would crash on random apps multiple times a day. I can be writing a text, borwsing the store, and get an error similar to:
"Unfortunately messaging has stopped"
"System UI has stopped"
"Google Play Store has stopped"
etc.
It doesnt seem isolated to one app, or to any one function as far as I can tell, but it is pretty frustrating to have this problem 3-4 times a day.
My carrier is T-Mobile, and I dont have many apps installed. None of the apps have changed since I updated to the newest software.
Has anyone else had this issue and know of a fix? This is borderline unusable, and I am almost ready to void my warranty and root the device to fix it...
I suggest trying a factory restore first.

Did the factory reset, and its been ok for a few days, but I got the same messaging has stopped and System UI has stopped error and had to restart again yesterday.
I have been getting the SystemUI error many many times lately. I am rooted and using XPower with androplus kernel with xposed so I figure some there is messing me up.
Although, I distinctly remember sometimes being prompted to enter my pin when trying my fingerprint (a sign that systemui has restarted) long before I rooted so maybe something else is causing this issue.

I am not rooted, but with all the issues I am considering it - although in my experience rooting leads to LESS stability, not more...
On the other hand, maybe there is some stock Sony app that is causing all my issues that I can't get rid of (What's New, etc.).
Its a bummer because I love so much about the phone - only cons are these system UI shutdowns and a slow camera shutter (not that big a deal for me).
Has anyone had any luck with a stable ROM? something to push me over the edge to rooting it?
Don't root, don't unlock your bootloader.
Download flashtool and the latest firmware release, clear everything (You will lose all your data) and reinstall fresh, see how the results are.
That should do the trick, if not you can consider BL unlock.

This is exactly what I did, and results are better, but still not stable...My phone still crashes once a day or so.

Did you try another firmware version?
If you have the same results **** it and send it back for warranty, my z5c never crashes.

Quick update, I did a factory reset first, that didnt seem to help, but then did a factory reset immediately followed by a software repair, and the phone has worked well for about 2 weeks with no shutdowns - fingers crossed this good fortune continues.
I have many app issues with the current phone!
I have received a major update and I currently run BLA-L29 8.0.0. 127 (C432)
I have app issues especially with apps that are news related!
I tried installing them again, I made factory reset and all possible solutions but the problem is still there!
For example (IMDb, Gazzetta, Sdna, sport24, 90 minutes) apps are launching but when I press to a specific article won't open!
When I force stop them and clear cache sometimes works but it's like 1 out of 20-30 attempts.
I contacted Huawei and they said that the apps don't work because they are not optimised to oreo 8.0 and it's totally an app problem, but I think is more than that!
Keep up the good work guys!

I have the same problem as you. A lot of my news apps sometimes work, and sometimes won't open any articles. I can't find any rhyme or reason for it. My Yahoo Mail app has the same problem as well. Sometimes it works fine, and other times it won't display the body of the email.
Found a potential solution in another thread, but I haven't tried it yet. Here is his post.

I think I might have solved this issue myself and it might be useful information for others:
In the battery-section of the settings, there is an option to control if an app can auto-start, be started from a different app and is allowed to keep running in the background. Either you allow the phone to control this automatically, or you can do it manually: the latter possibility is the one I turned on as I wanted to have the control over the apps. Apparently, this was a bad choice as it stopped the apps from getting the information from the internet?
After I switched it back to completely automatic, all apps were working normally again. This is something that Huawei should address as I don't believe this should happen .

Thanks for the update
I had it as well manual and everything was off and this was the reason for the problem!
I just set it to automatic and seems that the problem is fixed!
I will keep you updated the following days!
Thnx ppl
Problem solved
Everything is working fine!
I don't think you need to turn everything to automatic, "Chrome" should be enough as I think those apps use some built-in Browser features from "Chrome". So leaving everything as is (no matter if automatic, manual on or manual off) worked for me as long as "Chrome" was set to automatic or manual on.
Problem solved
You are absolutely right! Only chrome has to be automatic!
Yes Chrome is used instead android web wiew on oreo
I have exactly the same Problem with Amazon App! Any solution?.
Edit:
Same here! Chrome on automatic and amazn app works fine!!

i'm facing similar problems and many app developers said "Huawei developers have set restriction for the device system"
As we mentioned before you should change the battery settings...
Settings
Battery
Launch
Manage All Automatically {on}
...... Or you just turn Chrome to automatically and see if it works....
When using the front facing camera for video, the app will record while pressing the button and as soon as I let go, it force closes. Once I re-open the app and go to the next page to play the video, it's upside down.
I have gone to extreme measures and completely wiped the phone and re-installed Instagram and it does the same thing. It doesn't seem to be a conflicting app issue at this point so I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue? Thanks.
I had every app the used the camera (Amazon, facebook, snapchat, instagram, camera, etc) force close on my. I replaced my phone through T-Mobile after they thought it was defective since performing a factory reset did not do anything to correct the issue

Did you get the new one? How's it working? Mine is T-Mo too. Out of curiosity, was yours a pre-order and what color was it? Want to see if there's any trend.
Mine was a black preorder. The new one comes today. I'm hoping it just works. I've read a few reports here and Reddit about camera issues so hopefully its isolated to only a few units. Seems like most of the people on here like the phone and its working for them.
I'm in the process of downloading the stock firmware and reflashing to see if that works. I'll update when complete.
I tried to Odin with the firmware I found out there and the latest version of Odin. I got to the the part where Odin said passed, then phone went to update and aborted. So I did another factory reset and now it seems fine. Slowly installing apps to eliminate conflicts...let's see what happens.
My new one was just delivered. I was going to try to smart switch again tonight. If that does not work I might skip this upgrade.
With the replacement (new) S9+ i received yesterday I have not had this issue yet. I've only been using the phone for about 12 hours so far.
After the factory reset from the update menu (power button+volume up+Bixby) instead of the one in the pull down tools menu, I'm all good.
Now I can go back to making annoying Instagram posts. ?

The update is for carrier devices, not U1 devices. Your have to ODIN to N950U firmware then apply the OTA.

My device is a carrier device on stock nougat. It is a Verizon Note 8.
Hey guys, I just got the OTA update on my Sprint Galaxy Note 8 as well, and so far I'm loving it! But I'm experiencing a Google Play error, "DF-DFERH-01, error retrieving information from server"
So I went ahead and cleared cache and data, uninstalled Google Play updates, and did the same thing to Google Play Services. I went as far as factory resetting my device, and I'm still recieving the same error. It wasn't like this before I installed the update 2 hours ago.
I wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing the same thing?
Edit: Just like magic, Google Play seems to be working again. Finally to enjoy Android Pie at last!

^^ Also had / have same issue as well. Mine however is a carrier unlocked Galaxy Note 8 and using Sprint service (not rooted). I did clear cache, have not tried factory reset but thank you for informing me as I've been trying to determine the next course of action. Also, my menu / ui / settings / colors (font / backgrounds / forms) have partially inverted, so that all titles are almost close to #000 (solid black) with form boxes inverted to white, (making this close to impossible without some guess work what invisible text says) and it seems like there's an error with the themes (now back to complete stock and it does not change the colors at all from the inverted manner nor will it allow me to even switch to dark mode). However, I just got this installed maybe 15 minutes ago, so I will continue trying to figure this out and test to see if any other functions are not working properly. Have you found any other others yourself and or a way to fix the Google Play error?

Not liking this update..... Like wtf did u do to the status bar icons and pulldown shortcuts...... My theme looks stupid AF now too. Hey Samsung, if your going to **** with **** like this, give us the option in settings to change it the **** back.

Ah, that sounds odd. As far as I know, Samsung made changes to the way themes work on the Android Pie update, so I'd guess it might be possible that your themes were screwed up in the process. Is it also like that on the default theme? Everything seems to be working normal on my end, I'm still using the default theme
As for the Google Play error, I didn't really do anything else after I had cleared cache and data, and uninstalled app updates. I went off to continue setting up my Note 8, came back 25 minutes later, and Google Play worked normally as if nothing had happened.

So what I learned from a couple of quick experiments, to ANYONE downloading & installing Pie for the first time, I highly advise uninstalling all forms of themes, launchers, roms, etc. that are not stock as with the theme changes in Pie, that is what seems to mess it up and I am going to test to see what can be used with it after. The Google Play thing lasted me a few hours since it was earlier today.... but makes me wonder if they did a silent correction as I've heard others that didn't get that error after mine seemed to magically work again too.

I see. In your first post you asked about N950U1 devices, which is the unbranded factory unlocked model.
Yes this update will work on your device. But you can't apply it directly over your current build. You'll have to update to whatever the current Oreo build was first.
