[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zelazni:
I don't know for sure but the messaging from AT&T was that they "could" be new but not guaranteed which I take to mean that they are very likely refurbished.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zelazni:
So, to add more confusion but good progress, I unencrypted my phone last night after installing the same 4 test apps. When the phone rebooted as part of the unencryption process, I was very happy to see that those 4 apps were still there. I opened one up and the settings were good too. I figured I'd rip the bandaid off and do another reboot. This time, the 4 apps I'd been testing with were gone but surprisingly all of the other apps that had disappeared with the first reboot were now restored to the phone! Their settings were all as they were and clearly they were there all along.

It seems like the encryption may be causing my problem but I'm a little stumped about why it's behaving this way and I'm also confused about why the test apps were there after the initial unencrypted reboot and then gone after the second reboot. Either way, I re-installed those 4 apps and have rebooted and it looks like all apps are surviving now.

So, my issue now is that I NEED encryption in order to access work email but encryption is breaking my phone. Is anyone else having trouble with encryption on the V10? I did do the "Quick Encryption" option vs "Full Encryption" but I haven't been able to find any documentation anywhere about the differences (outside of the text provided when you choose). Does anyone know if the Quick option might cause problems like this?

On a side note, from the limited test of this morning, my battery seems much happier with encryption off!
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skingg:
Well I suppose you could try a factory reset of your phone to be sure and see if if some of your apps will still go missing when encrypted.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nygmam:
I have this issue too, but happened with and without encryption. In the process of backing up to do another Factory reset, which fixed the issue for 6 weeks last time, this is frustrating!

Apps keep disappearing from my AT&T LG V10

I had a LG V10 that went on an endless reboot cycle after about 7 months of no problems, so I had to get it replaced at the AT&T store. They mailed me a replacement, and then I noticed that after rebooting I was losing apps and had to re-install them. Today I rebooted and my Google Play store is missing and half my apps are popping up errors saying "Unfortunately, App xxxx has stopped. " The app XXXX" is one of about 10 apps that is crashing" What is going on here?

Misery loves company and I guess it's good to see that I'm not the only person experiencing this. I hope it means that we might have some ground so stand on with the carriers.

I've been suffering through reinstalling 10-15 apps every time I reboot until I can get in to an AT&T repair center to have them troubleshoot in person but yesterday's reboot came back in worse shape with no Play Store and a lot more missing apps. The strange thing I've found over the last month is that usually doing 2 back to back reboots will restore some of the missing apps. Hasn't helped with Play Store this time though.

[MENTION=648646]nygmam[/MENTION], do you have any new discoveries or root cause theories as an XDA senior member?

At this point, I'm just hoping to convince AT&T to give me an early upgrade to ditch the V10 and get a different phone which sucks because I really do love the V10 but these issues are just terrible...
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GenxBear:
Reboots help a little

So after I lost the Google Play store, I rebooted a few more times and the store came back... But now I'm noticing certain apps are either grayed out (which then need to be reinstalled) or the app looks like it's there, nut then gives an error when you try to run the app that the app is missing.. Then I reboot and the app works... Really strange... If they would let me I'd would have loved to swap this for a Samsung Note 7, but now that those have been recalled due to exploding batteries, I guess I'll have to wait a bit..
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GenxBear:
So just as a note, my LG V10 is stock firmware, NOT rooted. Every time I reboot, some of my apps disappear, and my Google Play store disappears. Then I get getting errors of apps that rely on the Googly Play store services stop working one after the other., pop up after pop up. Then I reboot and after maybe anywhere from 3-8 reboots the Google Play store comes back. I have even tried removing the battery to see if that would help, but no luck. The Play store just randomly comes back. Also now the speak is no longer working when I answer a call. I have to use the spearkerphone instead of the earpiece to hear the incoming call. Looks like a trip back to the AT&T store is in order. This is my 2nd LG V10 in 8 months.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nygmam:
Again, I had resisted rebooting for about 2 weeks, but phone was slow and sluggish, so needed to reboot. Came back, and out of 223 backed up apps, I was showing 45. Decided to wipe and restart.

One "trick" I have for small deletion events is to use ES Explorer (Still don't like it, but....) to backup the all my apps. Last time ES was gone too, but the internal File Explorer was still there, that allowed me to install ES Explorer. I then use two side by side tabs, one with the APPS backed up the other with the APPS tab used to backup. I sort them both alphabetical, and go page by page installing the missing apps. I will note, all data is there, just the app seems to be not found.

However, I was not about to install hundreds of apps. I had an LG backup from 9/11 I went and recovered most of my apps after reset. Now I am stuck updating a ton of apps, although I could install them from my backups in ES.

While I don't mind factory reset now, and have the restore down to an art, My google Watch is a pain as it has to be reset and paired a new too.

I wish there was a fix for this, or at a minimum, a way to run a directory compare, against the APPS tab, and automate the install. However, I doubt possible without ROOT, and I don't want to mess with that on this phone.

I will say, Quite frustrated, but love the phone. I am torn. I know if I take it back, the best they will do is offer me a new one, with no explination why it happened and no guarantee it won't happen again. This is my 2nd V10 and it has affected both.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nygmam:
9 Days later, and this issue is back... Has anyone got to the bottom of this?
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GenxBear:
I realized that if I have to reboot and I lose my Google Play store, the easiest way to get it back is to pull out the battery and let the V10 sit for about 2 or 3 minutes before reinstalling and turning the phone back on. If I do that, the google play store re-appears, but if I simply reboot or turn off and turn on right away, the google play store doesn't come back. Now the latest issue is that I lose my GMail account settings when I put the battery back in. I have to sign in to my Gmail account, and password, then I get the text from Google in the 2 step verification and re-sync my GMail. All the contacts that I have synced with Gmail disappear so my texts and contacts just show phone numbers, no names, until Google has had a chance to re-sync and then the names appear again. What a nightmare. This will be my last LG phone I buy. It's a shame since I really like the removable battery and Micro-SD slot that all the new phones no longer have.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nygmam:
While I had this issue without encryption enabled at the phone only level, after the first time, I encrypted.

I just had this issue return, as stated above. Decided to unencrypt, to see if it helped, and 4 reboots later, no issues. I am not holding my breath, but so far so good. While I know this isn't the cause, it is odd that decrypting helped my problem.

wondering if others who have this issue also encrypt, or have had it decrypted. I also have cut down on number of apps installed since the non-encrypted issue. Thinking maybe there is some space issues or encrypt overhead isn't allowing a full decrypt prior to boot., but that is only speculation.

Waiting for a return of the issue with my now decrypted phone :(
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GenxBear:
Not Encrypted or rooted here

@ nygmam - My LG V10 is not encrypted or rooted. Just stock firmware. I'm going to back up my stuff and do another exchange at the AT&T store today.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nygmam:
That sucks. I doubt a new phone will cure it then. This is my 2nd, and the same issue has happened on both. What is interesting, is that when I do sideload teh apps back, it seems to think I am upgrading an installed app, even though it doesn't show up. The Data is even there after I side-load.

For example, I was always loosing Android Pay, but sideloading it resulted in all my cards showing up again, and it working perfectly. As the apps sometimes come up when rebooting, it seems as if something is just not letting them all load at boot up.

Interestingly enough, I had the phone "Hot Reboot" by itself once after a load with many apps missing. The phone seemed to be quite unhappy, an just froze, then the screen went back to the white loading screen and all apps showed up at that boot.

Makes me think something is amiss in the boot process, and that if I had the possibility to hot reboot (If I were rooted) all my apps would come back.

This is all very frustrating

should add, did you try to encrypt/decrypt to see if that helped?
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenerlgv10:
I have a lgv10 as well and this seems to be a problem that affects most users. I've read multiple forums and no one seems to have a solution. This started occuring about 3 months ago for me, it happens like twice a month but not everytime,i restart and i switch my battery out mid day usually. First it google play and some other google,things that woild,dissappear. I would have to sign in to my google stuff again. But today it deleted about 50 apps which i had to reinstall, thankfully you dont to configure any app settings. They just take off from where u left them like spotify still had the same song on pause.

I highly doubt this has to do with encryption, this is just some lg flaw that they probably dont know how to fix either
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revwillie:
I'm having similar problems with the refurb V10 I bought in June. I'm actually having three EXTREMELY troublesome issues:

1) apps disappearing. sometimes they come back after a reboot. sometimes i have to reinstall them. Sometimes play store won't even download.

2) GPS not staying fixed or quitting altogether. Sometimes a reboot fixes it but I risk losing apps.

3) Bluetooth.. where to start...connection with android wear is unstable, phone and music connections unstable...a daily struggle.

I haven't tried a factory reset yet.... sounds like it doesn't really help

I would try exchanging the phone, but I went through multiple exchanges on my previous phone: a G4. Two phones died of boot loop. Tmobile exchanged one, LG exchanged the next. Like was said earlier. it's a shame the only phones with external storage and swappable batteries are so unreliable.

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

Here's another thing that sometimes works:

clear cache and data for google play store and then reboot. If it asks you for which account to use for 'backup' I think that re-syncs apps.....maybe.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fbueller:
I happen to have three LG devices - one Gpad X 8.0, one Tribute HD, and one Stylo. ALL OF THEM experience this issue. It's an LG problem, not a V10 problem, and is clearly software. None are rooted or toyed with beyond stock. I'm experiencing the exact same issues.

TOTAL nightmare. Never buying an LG phone for production purposes. Did anyone ever find the cause?
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nygmam:
I ended up with a string on weeks with no issue. Found if it was decrypted, and if I waited a minute or two prior to rebooting, and to NEVER use REBOOT from the power menu I was always fine.

However, woke up yesterday to a dead phone. Swapped batteries, with no joy, turned out it bootlooped itself, and had become a door stop. I decided to upgrade to an LG V20, as I can't live without the replaceable battery and SD card.

So far so good. I will add, my wife had the LG G3, and now has the G5, and has never had this issue, so I hope will be fine. I also did a clean install, so hoping this helps, left out a lot of apps, I never really used anyway.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zauropod:
4 years later I have the same issue with my LG G4. It started several months ago. My phone speaker became very quiet but the speaker on the back side started working when taking calls (when somebody calls me I have to turn my phone and press to my ear the speaker on the back side). Apps started disappearing after each reboot (just soft restart from power menu or soft switch off-switch on from power menu or replacing battery). Most often disappearing apps are Google Play Store and Google Play Services (they disappear or just stop working as if they are not installed). When Google Play Services disappear, my contacts synched with Google also disappear. When Google Play Services disappear or stop working, I cannot use some apps, such as Gmail or Tinder. Sometimes, when I try to open an app, it says that it will not run because Google Play Services are updating. When I say that an app disappeared, it means that its icon is gone, it's gone from Apps menu item and Google Play Store says it's not installed. After several reboots some of disappeared apps reappear but some other disappear. Then, after another reboot, those apps disappear again. I tried clearing cache and data of apps but it does not help. I tried installing Google Play Services downloading apk from the internet, but after one or several reboots they disappear again. Another thing that frustrates me is that I keep switching off auto update of apps, but my phone switches it on sometimes and updates the apps. I'm not rooted and have Android 6.0. From the internet I see that this issue happens on various models of phones, including LG and Samsung. Did somebody find the cause and solution?

Here are ideas from this forum:

Each time when I need to reboot or fix the problem I need to remove battery and wait for several minutes - works only sometimes and only until next reboot.

Keep the phone decrypted - I never encrypted my phone, so it's not the case.

Don't reboot using power menu - does not help.

Clean internal memory so that apps have much space - need to check that.

[Android Studio] jdjake:
In order to run emulators on Windows 10, Hyper-V needs to be disabled. The problem is that I HAVE disabled Hyper-V, both through the Programs and Features menu (Windows Key + X), and through the command line to prevent it from being enabled on boot. Android studio still thinks Hyper-V is enabled, and I cannot boot emulators. I can't seem to find an answer to this online (or maybe I'm just googling the wrong phrase). Has anyone else encountered this problem?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] volcolm:
The camera module's pooched (started failing in 5.1 with not being able to focus on near objects, now it won't run at all). Weird shenanigans in 5.1 as opposed to the stock 4.3 that it came from. In 4.3, I can run Flashlight, but Gallery crashes when Camera is run. Front camera works intermittent - rear camera not at all. In 5.1, I cannot run either the camera app or Flashlight (quick access menu) and if Flashlight is pressed, the LED will shine for 5 seconds, turn off, and the Flashlight icon will stay half-lit until the phone is soft-reset. 5.1 gives the notification "cannot start the camera - make sure 3rd party apps (such as Flashlight) aren't running" (with everything disabled).

The only constant is that the rear camera will not function in either Android environment.

It's still under warranty with Wind, do I even need to worry about the unlocked bootloader or no? Either of these were stock Android with no root.

Hey guys,

I am currently trying to create a text watch face for my gear s2 classic, I initially thought that I would be able to do this using a custom bitmap font however that won't work as it only uses single digit numbers and unfortunately numbers change when they become double digits i.e. 10 isn't pronounced onezero.

Does anyone have any tips that would help me create this watch face?

Hi everybody,

try my Android game called Scream2Jump Google Play

You have to scream as loud as you can to make Steve, a friendly fireball, jump and avoid baddies and obstacles

Here is a gameplay from Scream2Jump:

There are 5 different worlds:

- Halloween

- Ancient Rome

- The Future - Year 2216

- Ancient Egypt

- Dinosaurs - Lost World

You can also change from settings to Quiet Mode to control the jumps just by touching the screen and not by screaming.

I am looking forward for your feedback!

Thanks,
