Nope. It hasn't crashed on me so far. I use it every day for commuting and it's worked fine (am on BUKG)
It's janky and much more laggy on A12 as compared to A11, especially when moving the screen around and having a media app playing, but except for that stutteriness, it does the job. Doesn't crash. Not so far, at least.

Do you have a Hex-Theme enabled? If yes, you need to disable it, to make Maps working again. But be aware, if you disable your Theme one OneUI 4, you can't apply it again (it will reset after 10 Minutes).

Have you tried FC then clearing app storage in settings?
(I occasionally get repeat FC in Maps after a google cloud restore when setting up a new phone and clear storage resolves it).

Google play services crashing every 10 seconds.

Idk what's going on. I'm on the latest 8.3 and it still crashes randomly. I can't figure it out. This all started after I uninstalled ex dialer. Any ideas on how I can solve this issue. I cleared cache and data for Google play service and still nothing.
I'm experiencing the same problem. What I've done so far is disable Google Play. I get less errors and hangups that way.

Google play store problem

Does anyone have problems downloading with google play??
The problem happened around 3 days ago. I was trying to download something when it said "connection timed out, please try again after some time". After a few hours still I cannot load google play nor download anything
I have tried all the solutions possible for google play, service and framework ( clear cache, uninstall updates, remove accout, reboot, clear dalvik) but the connection only works in the beginning then after like 2 mins then "connection timed out" again appears.
For sure my internet connection is strong and I'm sure my ISP is not blocking google play because I can access it via web. What's weird is when I use a VPN, google play all of a sudden works flawlessly.. can anyone help me in diagnosing where exactly is the problem?
I have the same exact problem on my galaxy note 8!. My Google play store won't load anything if I'm on Wi-Fi or on cellular Data!!
But with the VPN it works!
I had a similar problems. I got the Samsung Disconnect Pro app when it was free. I installed that then had the same problems. Turned it off and everything was good. After a day turned it on and now working correctly.

I don't have that app nor ever used it... so I wonder where my problem is coming from?
Try looking at your power options, it might be sleeping wifi (im presuming it happening on wifi). The VPN thing might solve it cause VPN usually does not sleep wifi properly

It's not something that turns up on the battery saving list, it's a power saving feature
under
Settings-->Connections-->Wi-Fi-->Advanced (top right hand corner menu)
make sure Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep is set to always
if i recall moderate battery saving will switch this off

for a minute there, I felt a glimpse of hope but...
Thanks again
I had this exact same issue on my note 8. I blame the smart switch app on these issues. I usually always do a fresh install but this time tried to be fancy and tried that. After doing a fresh install and not using any backups my phone is flawless. I know its annoying going that route but trust me it works and you will have peace of mind.

What about installing unknown sources apps?
Because there's a lot of apps that I can't find in the playstore

Whenever I have apps like that I back them up to my Google drive and onece the phone is set up I reinstall those apps from the cloud.

Did you restore any data from Samsung cloud?
I'm still facing this problem. I didn't install apps that are not from Google play and I did not restore from Google or Samsung cloud. And I also did not use Smart switch. I love this phone but this issue is very frustrating to be honest

Nothing.
Anyway thanks for the inputs guys, I found the culprit and it has to do with an app I downloaded and installed outside the playstore coz it was not available in my country. Once I uninstalled it the playstore came back to normal.

I understand how you feel. I felt like that for a week. I hope someone will come up with asolution for you.
If you don't mind can you disclose what app was causing you issues, I'm deleting, restarting and clearing my play store memory hoping to solve this issue but no luck so far
ok long shot but try going into
Connections-->Wi-Fi-->Advanced (menu on top right)-->Wi-Fi control history
to see if there are any apps messing with your wi-fi
Thank you... the history is clear there is nothing. But that's probably because I keep restarting the phone. Now the Google play store home page won't even load

Instagram Failing?

Anyone else having Instagram Failing suddenly on Note 8? I've seen some YouTube people say it's been in the last few minutes too. Only thing that works for me is to clear data, then re log in, but if I close it, it starts forceclosing again with the "Instagram has stopped". Any permanent solutions?

This happened to me on Monday. Instagram kept crashing.
I tried clearing cache and data in the app, deleting and reinstalling... no joy. Finally, after reading a thread about Samsung themes and overlays causing trouble for Instagram, I temporarily restored the default Samsung theme, reinstalled Instagram, and all was fine.
Later, I reapplied my custom Samsung theme and haven't experienced further issues.
There was a known issue with Instagram, server side, that was resolved within a day (hours maybe). People were having issues even installing it or updates from the play store.

Question Spotify is acting odd

This might be the app itself but I didn't have any issue on my S20. Since I updated the phone it randomly cuts out. Any ideas? Never on WiFi though...

Is it when the screen is off? Check it's not been put to sleep in battery settings
it seems that latest ROM updates (I think I have this on all AUB* ones) is weirdly strict on background activities and cuts every one of them. my whole device acts strangely - apps not showing notification or showing them late (hours later than they were supposed to show), my apps are not updating: I have to repeatedly FC play store, then clear its cache so that currently installing app changes state from downloading to installing, than do it again to change state fomr installing to installed etc. worked fine on AUA* ones. it is really annoying. btw I tried to clear cache and dalvik/art cache from recovery, but that did not help. I have not tried factory seset yet...
It seems that it was data corruption during regular OTA. Factory reset seems to fix problems for me.
I'll try a reset.. thankyou
Let's be honest, the Spotify app has issues too begin with. On my S21 and Pixel 4 it can be playing songs to my earbuds then suddenly stop running in the background on its own! Unlock the phone and itis still open in the foreground.
Perhaps it's time for a new music app if this is a known Spotify issue... But if it's not a Spotify issue, then check in your battery settings (as others have mentioned) to see if your phone automatically started putting it into "Sleep Mode".

Google Apps constantly stop working/ Cellphone often crashing

I have been experiencing a problem with my X4 lately. Suddenly, Google Apps such as Youtube, Google Chrome, Youtube Music, Play Store, even GMAIL started to crash. Out of the blue, they just close, sometimes they close and report that "app x stopped working", and often "Google Play Services stopped working" and this pretty much makes the cellphone unusable, the apps won't open anymore, not even a reboot would solve it. Sometimes apps as Facebook, Instagram, the Native Camera, even SETTINGS will crash. Following this crashes, sometimes the cellphone will just shut off the display and crash, only coming back after a forced reboot (BUT, as strange as it may seem, the long press on the power button works just fine and the display wakes but only showing shut off and reboot options).
I was experiencing this problem with the stock Android 9 ROM. I then removed my google account, wiped it, did a factory reset for a couple times, did not work. I flashed the stock ROM, but the problems only got worse. Then i flashed the Pixel Experience w/ Android 10 using the latest TWRP, same problems happened, with a clean installation, wiped everything. I used it for a couple of months, but the crashes were just increasing over time.
I then installed the Lineage OS 18.1 on Android 11 on my X4; Same thing, clean installation, wiped everything, removed all Google Accounts, flashed the latest GAPPS. Boy oh boy, it was smooth like butter on the beginning (i recommend this ROM very much), one week goes by and the same crashes come back again, every once in a while. I just can't figure what could be causing the crashes, same issues with 4 different roms!
If anyone please has experienced this or know how could i fix it, it would help me very much. Thank y'all for your attention.
Next time it happens i will try and take a screenshot to post here.
Did you ever get a solution to this? I am having the same issue.
