I have the latest updates from samsung, and a rooted tab. Recently the camera stopped working. I could open it, but when I clicked on any of the settings, it showed I was touching them, but didn't bring up any menus, the preview screen is completely black, but camera apps from the marked DO work... I'm assuming something happened to my camera.apk?
Also, when I try and attach a file using the email app, I click "attach file" and it saves an email draft then nothing else happens... is it because I uninstalled the thinkfree.apk?
I've read that the camera and email are related... so perhaps that is where my problem lies?
Also, how can I install the camera.apk? I got a backup of it but after uninstalling the old one, I just get "install failed" or whatever...
Thanks!!!
Try a factory reset. Settings, Privacy, factory reset (wipes user data). If it doesnt work. Search this forum it has email app somewhere.
I was hoping to avoid that... oh well. thanks

Some users have reported similar issues when they had DISABLED the stock SMS app before the update, and did not "re-enable" it before taking the OTA.
Assuming you had disabled the stock SMS app, you should be able to fix it by reseting all app preferences.
Settings > Apps
Click the menu button (3 dots), and click "Reset app preferences"

You can try. If you do, and the problems start again, just "reset app preferences" again, and don't disable that time.

This fixed it for me as well.
Anyone else keeping getting a pop up notification saying " Unfortunately Cloud Print has stopped"? I've never even used cloud print before and didn't touch anything with it on my new N6. However, this notification keeps popping up every couple of minutes so finally I disabled cloud print and haven't seen the notification since. It would be nice to resolve this in a better way than disabling it.
[EDIT]: I just got the notification again, even with cloud print disabled. Not cool. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Same. I'm sure it'll be fixed soon.
I was getting it. Disabled the app and rebooted. Do I even need this?

For anyone still experiencing this issue, it seems that going into Apps and hitting "Clear Data" on Cloud Print resolves the issue.

I used Cloud Print on my N5 flawlessy. Thanks for this tip. Hopefully this will stay working
Settings->printing->cloud printing= off
Have not had one issue since disabling and numerous prior.
They updated that today, so check the play store. I haven't had any issues with the new version yet.
Cleared app data and i have not gotten the error message again. Thanks..

How do you navigate to that? I don't see that app on my phone. Went to Google play and it didn't have the install or update button either.

It won't be in your apps from Google Play. Here's how to find it.
Settings -> Apps -> All -> Cloud Print -> Clear Data

I just got a Droid turbo used and all links from Gmail, Bing, and just about all other apps open in a browser popup window. Half of the content won't load... How do I turn this crap off? I've looked in chrome settings and don't see anything. I'm guessing this is a Motorola feature?
I'm not rooted, verizon 5.1 rom and I have factory reset. This is happening on two different Turbos (mine and my wife's, we just got them from different sellers ).
I just want to open links in a chrome itself and not in some android window.
Thanks!

Window? Odd... And it's chrome?
What launcher are you using?

If you bought it used you should do a factory reset.
Sounds like someone installed malware on your phone. What ROM is it running?
This is what it looks like... This was already factory reset with 5.1 verizon rom. So this isn't normal when opening links from apps (doesn't happen in Chrome, in this case it was a link saying I had replies on this thread in Gmail) on the Droid turbo?
Newest test, I Uninstalled chrome and links from apps still open up in the browser window. My wife's turbo that I just bought is doing the same thing. Both running verizon 5.1 rom and have been factory reset. Any idea guys?

It might be WebView, but I'm not sure. I when I was on stock I disabled WebView.

Anyone out there on a stock 5.1 turbo? Opening every link from Gmail, etc pops up these windows... Even YouTube links and then I just get white windows and not in YouTube app. Really getting annoyed.

Did you try disabling WebView?
Yep, disable disabled webview and still doing it. Can't believe this doesn't annoy anyone else.

My turbo never did this on stock, ever. When you factory reset, did you set it up as new, or restore backed up apps? If you can screenshot all apps (Settings -> Storage -> Apps), it might help me, and anyone else reading this thread, narrow down a possible cause.
I suspect that it's a "feature" of an app that you have installed. This is definitely not a Moto feature and not something that is built into the stock rom. Are there any web-related apps that both you and your wife have installed?
If you want to ensure that your phones are completely stock (a factory reset won't erase anything that's on the system partition), and they're on version SU4TL-44, follow step 0 of this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684. If the phones were updated to SU4TL-49, try using the Verizon Upgrade Assistant to repair them (the annoying popup that you get when you plug your phone into the computer).
Figured it out! Both of these phones were purchased from swappa and factory reset. Both had Motorola factory reset protection enabled, which meant I couldn't initially activate them. I had to perform the steps in this video to remove the frp via adb commands : http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mXTojqc0ZX8
This apparently meant the phone wasn't fully activated, but we're still "working". I also thought it was odd that I couldn't change the defaults for Web browsers in Android. Using an app named "Default app manager" showed that my default was set to "Setup wizard" rather than Chrome... Disabled " setup wizard " and then all was fixed and was able to setup my browser of choice as Web default.
Interesting predicament!
So I updated my phone from an LG V30 to a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, and AA no longer sees all the apps I used to be able to use with it.
For example, I can't use SiriusXM, or Blackplayer EX, or Audible.
These don't show up in the app list.
How can I get them back?
They're all on Playstore.
If you want that exact version...
You could also try using ApkExport to copy the app and try loading the copied LG phone version onto the Samsung.
It will either install/work or not.

I have the affected apps on my phone and they work fine... On the phone. But Android Auto doesn't appear to recognize them.
Unfortunately I wiped the LG and sent it back to Verizon.

Ok I see what you mean... I like my cars to be stupid. Haven't played with that.
I don't think it's the app, it's something misconfigured or missing on the phone.
I've seen something similar to this on the forum before but it was a while ago.
Try clearing the system cache and a network reset... can't hurt.
Try some Google searches. You might find the answer with an older Samsung model as there won't be much for the newest releases.
Try opening up Developer options>bluetooth properties
Make sure the proper bt protocols are enabled.
Double check bt settings.

I tried that and I did not see the apps I wanted in AA. It turns out you have to enable them first in the Play store. It's a very stupid and unclear process.
