Issues with apps stopping - Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers

Has anyone else been having issues with apps stopping on their XZ1C? I've been having trouble with Google Photos and Google Connectivity Services stopping a lot. I've tried the cache clearing and data clearing tricks as well as uninstalling and reinstalling Connectivity Services, but I routinely get the notification pop-up telling me one or the other has stopped or keeps stopping.
Photos seems to be stopping most when I use the app and especially when I try to share a photo via text or email from Photos itself. I don't have an issue if I send a MMS from Messenger.
Google Connectivity Services seems to stop the most when I use the GPS and am on LTE. It does occasionally stop when on WiFi or if going between WiFi and LTE. I question the benefits of even having that app if it stops more than anything. Perhaps it's just an issue with Oreo? I never had issues with apps stopping with my Pixel, but that was running Nougat.
Thanks.

Instagram does crash to me very often. I think they didn't optimized the app very well for Android 8
Edit. War robots just crashed too

I see it time to time too

My Google Photos app started behaving the same way immediately after I shared an album by way of SMS.
I cleared the cache, but that did not work. I reinstalled the app and the crashing stopped, but it has crashed once more the following day, but only one time.

How do you uninstall a core app like Photos? When I tap and hold, it does not give me to ability to uninstall it.

J-san, to the best of my knowledge you can't uninstall it, however if you long press on the app icon, and select App Info, you should be able to disable it. This will uninstall any updates to the app that have occurred since the phone was new.

Thanks much! I'll give that a try.

Nice, I thought I was the only one.

Contacts Taking forever to Load

Whenever I open up my contacts app, it takes an eternity for them to actually show up. Because of this, my dialer, hangouts and anything else that needs contacts can barely function. Pictures show up sporadically in hangouts and it is an overall annoyance. Hangouts didn't even work until they updated it again but it is starting to revert to not being able to load conversations anymore. This has made my phone largely unusable. I have already factory reset it and the problem persists. Is there some wort of Google server work going on right now? I would think it wouldn't last as long as this problem has for me. Any help is appreciated. Another thing to not is that Android Core Apps and Google Services are my main sources of battery drain.

[Q] Gmail Force Closing

I'm stock 5.0.1 and far to often when I open Gmail I just get a white screen and have to wait until I get the message to Wait or Close the app.
I've tried wiping data, but it still happens.
Anyone else get this?
go to the main phone settings, apps, gmail.. now clear the data for gmail. or you can try uninstalling it then reinstalling.
Thanks, as I said though, I've done this

Facebook messenger chat heads keeps deactivating - Help!

After the latest 8.2 update, my Facebook messenger keeps deactivating chat heads over apps, every other day.
I can turn it on, and it works for 1-2 days, and then it happened again..
Any solutions for a permanent fix?
One option might be moving messenger over and making it a system app. Usually the fix is enabling "Display Pop Up Window" in the permissions for Messenger.
It's already enabled in messenger, but it keeps removing it every other day? :/

There's a difference between turning on chat heads in messenger and enabling the permission. Are you currently only turning it on in Messenger?
When I turn it on in messenger it takes me to the permissions, where I enable it. After 1-2 days it automatically disable itself.
It actually does the same with Google calender permission. Really annoying, I don't know a permanent fix for it.
Found it.
Just go to security( Its a system app) --permission--other permission-- messenger-- Accept on display pop up window ??

Not receiving notifications

Hey all, I hope somebody can help me out with this. I've noticed this problem with multiple apps but I will continue my description with Whatsapp as it's the most important to me.
It seems to be random, but some (becoming most) times I don't receive any notifications from whatsapp. When i open the app, i can see the app "updating" and receiving all the messages that were sent to me since the previous launch.
I have gone to the battery management and turned whatsapp to manual mode with all 3 options enabled (auto launch, secondary app launch and background usage)
I've also turned on unlimited data restrictions for the app.
I'm still facing the same issue. Anybody else out there facing the same thing with whatsapp or any other app? Any ideas how to fix this?
Same problem messaged Huawei and got a real crap guide on how to fix it . There "fix" was to hard reset the phone which we all know a new phone should work out of the box what good is a hard reset going to do apart from wipe the phone
It could be a network issue. Sometimes when am on wifi every notification comes on time(tested it with my second phone). When i switch on 4g , notification can have a considerable delay. And not only watsapp. Instagram facebook gmail you name it.

Have you try to put out whatsapp from battery optimization apps...
Settings, Apps, Apps, press 4 dots upper right corner, special access (or something like that), exclude whatsapp or any other app from battery optimization
My notfications are working, but sometimes it doesn't play the notification sound for whatsapp. It seems to be random, does anybody know how to fix this?

Question Notifications

I just need any help. I'm trying to figure out why with apps like Snapchat and Facebook. I'm not getting their designated notification sounds. I go into the app settings and it says the notifications are on but then I go to my phone settings and for those particular apps it's set on my phone's default notification which is really annoying. It doesn't even have a app provided toggle that I could even turn on. Any help would be appreciated.
I had an issue with Instagram's notifications. Even though looking through the apps notifications they were all on, I was not getting any at all. It turned out that I did the Google transfer of apps for my old phone to my new phone, and that was why. What I did was clear all cache and data, and then start over by signing in and allowing notifications when the pop-up showed. I didn't get the pop-up the first time I open the app after the transfer, so I'm 99.9% sure that's why. Try clearing cache and data, and then start over by signing in like you just downloaded the app.

Thank you so much! I kind of figured that out as well because I uninstalled it then reinstalled it and everything was fine after that.
