Instagram Stories won't open [Mi 6X] - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

Video: https://youtu.be/jxWN2KHW-8E
I just got a Xiaomi Mi 6X and i've been experiencing a weird issue with Instagram. From time to time i just can't open any Stories, it just opens and closes immediately. If i closes Instagram from the Recent Apps menu, it works again, but later some time it just gets like this again.
Things i've tried so far: Clear Cache, reinstall the app, restored the phone to factory settings, changed ROM (to another MIUI one) and set clock to Auto (it was set manually before). Nothing seems to resolve my problem.
Does anyone have a solution for this?

[Q] Zoe camera crashing

I'm running the latest stock rooted (2.16.651.4) and just tried to use the Zoe function in camera. It's the first time I've tried to use it since the update, and it's crashing the camera app left and right. When I switch from any other function to Zoe, crash. I bring camera back up, and it'll be in Zoe, but half of the time, it'll crash right away again. If it does stay up, it seems to work until I switch away and back again.
My question is, could anyone share the apk for camera (assuming it'll contain all of the functions including Zoe) so I can try to reload the app? Or if anyone knows of a different fix, I'm certainly open to suggestions. Thanks.

Try clearing the App Cache in the App Settings to reset the camera to the default settings.
Edit: Interestingly enough, my camera app crashes when I switch to Zoe, but without a crash alert (not sure if my custom Rom has blocked those). The difference is that u can open my camera into Zoe, and successfully capture Zoe images.
That's almost identical to my problem. No crash alert, the app just goes down. If, by stroke of luck, I can get it to run with Zoe, I can take images just fine. The problem shows back up when I try to use any other camera function then go back to Zoe.
I did get one error, systemui crashed and it was the report or not error, but that only happened once.
I cleared the cache, and while it doesn't crash 8 out of 10 times, it'll still go down like 4 out of 10. If I cleared the app data, would that smoke my pictures or anything?

No. It only clears the App data for the camera, making it as 8f you opened the camera for the first time, pop-up tips and all.
Well, I cleared the app data, and while it didn't completely fix things, it's definitely crashing less. If I last used the camera in Zoe, the next camera launch crashes, along with a random crash when switching from another function to Zoe. It certainly ain't perfect, it'll do for now I suppose.

launcher restart when listing apps in setting or play store

Hi everyone, i'm having some issues with the phone.
Everytime i open the installed app list, both under settings or in the playstore, after a few seconds the stock launcher restarts and take me back to the home page. This is pretty annoying. I've seen that after a system reboot it all works fine, but after some time the problem is back.
Before i was also having some random launcher reboot, but i've solved them disabling the huawey theme manager app, but the ones when listing the installed app are still hunting me.
I've already tried to clear the caches but with no result.
I'm on stock 5.1.1 rooted rom.
Anyone else having this problem or has some clue on how to solve it?

Issue with Facebook not loading pictures & comments P20 Pro

So I've recently switched from an S9+ to the P20 Pro, and I'm experiencing a really frustrating bug on the Facebook app. Whenever someone or a page posts 4 or 5+ pictures, I can't load them. I tap on one, and something flashes to suggest they're open but nothing appears. Also with comments. When opening 'more comments' for example, nothing appears. This isn't just occasionally, it's everytime.
I never had this issue with the S9+ which leads me to believe it may be a setting with the Pro.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app and no joy.
Anyone experienced anything similar?
i don't think it's a bug in the phone. More likely a bug on fb..
I've had the p20p for a while and fb have been ok before.
I have the exact same issue.
I third this issue. Was considering clearing cache and reinstalling but haven't bothered to try yet. Facebook regularly tinker with the app anyway.

Glad to see I'm not the only one. I've tried clearing the cache and reinstalling but made no difference. I'll try again, maybe it's something FB will sort
Have the same problem.... but I don't believe it's an issue with the phone. I had this same problem on my V30
I just downloaded Facebook Lite and its working fine. It doesnt look as good as the main app, and nowhere near as smooth but a good option nonetheless

Chrome crashing after upgrading to Android 11

This is the first time I've seen weird behaviour on Chrome and it started after installing Android 11. When I open Chrome it just closes right away. I need to open it about 10-20 times for it to finally stay open. I tried installing Chrome beta and it works better although sometimes it gives the same issue.
I tried clearing all the data in Chrome but didn't help. Wondering if anyone had this issue or has suggestions to fix.

Since chrome beta is a stand alone app and can be run beside chrome, it seems you have some kind of hard configuration error or corruption. I'm guessing you have already uninstalled/reinstalled the app. If you are unlocked I would try a dirty flash using the full image (not OTA). Next I would backup everything and wipe the phone, installing 11 fresh. Sometimes stuff happens and you just have to reinstall. Not a bad idea going from 10-11. In addition to chrome beta, I use Firefox beta because it supports extensions (eg. uBlock). If the thought of wiping your phone is too much work for this single issue, it may be time to try another browser. Best of luck and let us know how you get it resolved.
Turns out it was app list mode on edxposed that was causing the issue. After disabling it, it works normally again!

Question Unable to view or download gmail attachment

Hello, I recently found out I can't view and download gmail attachments on my Oppo phone. I recalled I can view and download them before, so this must be recent development (possible after c.46 update?)
I also find out I can't download from Google photos and Google drive.
I did everything that is suggested by the internet, clear cache on GMS, playstore, etc.. to no avail.
Upon searching the internet, I came across similar problems with OnePlus devices: oneplus problem
and since OnePlus is part of Oppo, the problem may be related.
Has this also happens to anyone here? Do you have any work around of how to make this work?
Uninstall gmail update and use the factory load version.
On Samsung's I always use the factory load versions for gmail and gmaps because the updated ones suck. Google screws up everything... just give them time.

I tried that, but still can't download attachments that way.
Turned out the OnePlus user figured out the problem here
It is the Clone App feature. I unfortunately did a factory reset on my phone, and Gmail attachments downloaded fine, but as soon as I cloned an app, in this case WhatsApp, I can no longer download from Google Apps.
I always have been using 2 WhatsApp on this phone, and I have downloaded loads of attachments from Gmail with no problem before. I suspect the issue is on the latest software update.
The workaround is to switch to guest mode, and switch back, then its normal again. You don't have to delete the cloned app. One user from that OnePlus forum said if you reset your phone, then download failed again.. but I haven't tried resetting my phone since.
I hope they fix this on the next update

Yay.
Weird modes create weird problems.
WhatsApp is pure malware, I never go there and it would never be installed on any of my devices.
Better get while the gettings good...

I have the same problem.
I already did a faactory reset and it worked, but upon setting the phone again it started to fail on donwloading from Gmail/Google Photos... maybe when I cloned WhatsApp.
Will switch to Guest and turn back, to see if it works.

Unfortunately a factory reset doesn't ID the root cause of the problem, so it can reoccur.
WhatsApp is trashware... what could go wrong?
Try completely uninstalling WhatsApp.
If that doesn't work it may have permanently altered hidden user settings, one of the the hallmarks of a poorly written app. Really it's acting like malware by locking out another app's functionality if so.
Factory reset and do a clean load from scratch. Be careful what you install or you'll be doing it again!
Just because an app is Playwhore approved doesn't make it compatible or even safe!

Switching to Guest and switching back to my user does the trick... for now!
Maybe this issue will be solved in the next update.

Thanks for your information.
I have been searching for the workaround for last 10days as even Oneplus Support could not provide any workaround.
The workaround to switch to guest mode, and switch back to Original User temporarily solves the issue. However, If we reboot the device, we have to follow the same procedure again.

I have put c47 and it works for one time only. If you need to access twice you can't view or download archives. ¿Do you know another action to do? Sorry for my English.

After updating to c47 the problem continues.
But switching to guest and returning to my user solves the problem... just tested and downloaded multiple files.

It didn't work for me.Thanks.
Well, I managed to get it to download the gmail attachments again. I have uninstalled the double application (in this case whatsapp), I have restarted the mobile, and reinstalled. The first time the whasapp installation failed, the second time it didn't and magically it re-downloaded the attached files.
It is seen that there is a problem with app cloning in this operating system.
After update to C47 enable permission to storage in gmail app, then files will be down!
Update: issue come back, not know why!
2nd update: after update the firmware to C60, problem solved!
