Chrome delete history hangs - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
During the past few days i've noticed that when i go to delete my chrome history, the browser hangs during "deleting browser history" window (the last window, with a rotating blue circle). It just keeps goin on forever. If i close down the app, and then reopen chrome, history is still there.
I have tried the following: Settings > Apps > Chrome > Force stop and then 1) clear cache, 2)Manage storage > Clear all data
Then i reopen chrome and log in etc., and most history is gone (only google stuff remains). If i clear history imediately it works ok, but as soon as i have visited a few sites, and try clearing history it starts all over again.
I can clear items in history one by one, by clicking on the x.
Any suggestions?

Thanks/Merci titi66200 :good: :good:
It seems to have solved the problem.
Now the question is why it was changed in the first place? I certainly did not change it.

Edit: I was too quick. The problem is back.

Mine wasn't activated by default either.

The only solution I found for apparently solve this problem is to uninstall and reinstall chrome.

Just an update: The last Chrome update that came this morning (74.0.3729.157) seems to have resolved the issue.

Something happened to my phone... Please help...

I don't know what happened to my phone recently but for some unknown reason, I was unable to open Marketplace and Opera Mini Beta 5 this morning. For Opera, it opens then closes right away with no message. For Marketplace, it opens then closes with a force close message. All other apps work fine.
So being desperate, I cleared the delvik cache (or whatever the option is in the boot up menu) and that seemed to fix the marketplace force closing. But for Opera, it wouldn't open until I did an uninstall/reinstall. Now I notice that there's something wrong with the Movies app. It says the app is not installed when I tap it. So I go into the Marketplace to install it again and it says that it's already installed with no uninstall option! I go into the settings => Applications and it's not there.
What the hell happened and how can I fix this please?

You probably have some left over files on your SD card (if you are using one that is). Clear everything from your card, and then reinstall.

Google virus?!

I have a slight problem which I can't fix. Whenever I open dolphin browser hd the Google homepage opens up even though I have the homepage set as new tab. Also Google will randomly open on a new tab while I am browsing on another tab. I tried changing all various settings and it didn't fix it. I even tried downloading Firefox and that worked fine until when I closed and then opened it again it came up with the Google homepage!
I have no idea what the problem could be. I need help please!

Sounds like you have a dns virus in your router.

Search installed applications in Google Now stops working

Are any of you having issues with the Google Now search of installed applications? I have the checkbox checked in the Google Now settings (Settings -> Phone search -> Apps- Names of installed applications), but sometimes this just stops working until I go into the settings again to uncheck and check it.
This also happens with my Contacts

Yes! This just started for me a couple days ago. The only thing that setting you mentioned above does for me now is search THROUGH installed apps for hits, but no longer brings up the app itself. Unfortunately your fix of checking and unchecking doesn't seem to do the trick for me (I'm on a Note 2).
For anyone who's not familiar with this behavior, it's a really nice feature of the main Google Now bar everyone should have on their home screen:
Punching in part of an app name in the Google Now bar pulls up hits including the app itself.
It's very convenient to for example turn on your phone, type in "Scan", and get as the top hit the Genius Scan app for example (you might only remember the "Scan" part of the name of the app).
Or type in "Face" and the Facebook app shows up. (Partials work.)
It's very similar to the iOS left-swipe search, the Windows 7 Start button, and OSX Spotlight.
Hunting and pecking through the app list is for chumps.
After today's Google+ update patch, this issue is now resolved.

How to delete watch faces

Hi all
I have installed the planets watch face, so I know how to do that but how do you delete it entirely from your watch?
Anyone? Is there a way to unistall 3rd party watch faces?
It should work like this: You only need to delete the application on the phone, the "companion" wear app gets deleted after a while.
Reality check: I had to do hard reset once when the apps were "stuck" and nothing new got installed and nothing deleted got uninstalled, this happened only once, though...

I'm not sure what you mean mate?
On the phone, open Android Ware and delete the face you want. It then automatically is deleted from the watch. There may be some delay so be patient.

That's the bit I'm stuck on how do you delete the watch face in Android wear?
If I click on watch face I have 3 options, show on watch, settings or hide on watch
Sorry, my error... You have to uninstall them as a usual app (if it's a custom face): forced stop - > delete data - > uninstall. The standard faces cannot be deleted.

Thanks for your time on this, where is force stop etc? I'm new to this
Well I'm a bit paranoid when I uninstall stuff. Go in to the phone setup, choose Application Management (I don't know the right terms as my phone is French). You will see all the applications you have installed. When you click on one, the details will show and you will find top left Forced Stop, center right Delete Data & Cache and top right Uninstall.

Question [SOLVED] Google Account Syncing not working using Mobile Data

Hey folks,
just got my X60 Pro+ from china. This is a really nice device, really like it so far.
But I'm having trouble when setting up my Google Account, I can't seem to sync them using mobile data. Turning my WiFi on, it syncs my EMails automatically and so on. I really searched the entire Settings library and this weird iManager app, but I can't find any Data restrictions whatsoever. It doesn't even let me sync it manually in the "Accounts and Syncronisation" settings menu, only with my WiFi.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I really searched everything and everywhere.
Greetings
Update 23.04.2021 : Vivo has fixed the Sync issue with an Update. Updating Google Webview and other Google Apps is also helpful, if the problem might still exist.
I do believe it's related to the Vivo.com app, you need to use script in order to remove it
I had X50 Pro Plus and faced the same issue.

Thanks. Just removed a couple of Apps, also your named Vivo.com App, but it unfortunately didn't fix my issue.

It's com.vivo.pem to uninstall on x50 pro plus forum. There are positive feedback about it. Not in my case
Yeah right, I also did that but no success. I've sent an EMail to Vivo Support, lets See.
My guess is, there is the "WiFi Only" toggle switch "missing" in the "Account & Sync" Settings tab.
Hello, It has been one day I'm fighting with my X60 pro plus : I can have my mail on outlook, but they are not syncing correctly. I think it can be the same issue as this thread.
I'll update here If I find a solution. Thank you.

Try to do a network data reset. I made it from the settings and notifications push seems to work now
Edit: after a while not working again

Download Chrome from Vivo Appstore and dont Update it then from the play store. Maybe it works for Spotify too, I dont use it.

Any chance I can use Chrome as default? I hate this chinese default browser, opening all links. And thanks for the solution, I'll try that
Settings > Applications and Permissions > Permissions Management > switch to Permissions Tab in the top right and then scroll all the way down to "Default App Settings"
There you go.

I'm sorry for you but I'm happy to read this. I have x60 pro China and by last Saturday, 10th April, with a new spotify update it doesn't work anymore with 4g, instead works well with wlan network. Have you solve it? Now I try to look for it in vivo store.
hello, this problem might becaused by the default dns server from China,please use dns changer app to fix this problem.
using dns changer to change dns to google dns will solve this problem
It worked, yes! But having an extra App for this is kinda weird. I hope there will be a permanent solution for this.

Auto-Answer :
I finaly get it working, but I don't know exactly how because I did a lot of action :
- uninstalled vivo apps via dev usb
- granted all permission possible to Outlook
- disabled smart notification
- changed the default system sound
- updated everything I found.
I don't know what was the problem, because it was really not syncing : mails was appearing only when opening the apps and waited for few sec to sync.
Hope it helps.

Any instructions on that?
Hey,
I own the x60 pro (chinese version), I live in France I have exctly the same problem as Eric-mod.
I didn't uninstall any apps but I changed my dns (google ones) with an app thanks to caeanlin it works !
it's been several weeks i'm in contact with vivo france because this is a whole syncing problem, concerning also emails (when i want to add some documents), and especially navigators and spotify (spotify still not working, even with the dns)
so the guy from vivo france took all my info and i send him this page that he transfered to vivo global (or china)
he said the guys will react quickly about this
