Android Question AppName not responding

[LucasHeer]

Starting this morning, every B4A app that I compile (debug & release) to my phone, will randomly throw "AppName is not responding." even though the UI thread is still fully responsive. Clicking "Wait", allows me to use the app for another 20-30 seconds until the message comes up again. There are no errors in the logs.

This seems to only happen on my phone, over both USB or WIFI debugging:

Pixel 9 Pro
Android 16

I tested another another device, TLC 9183W Android 12 with no issue at all.

Could it be my phone? I restarted and checked for updates, and 30GB of storage available. I checked the unfiltered logs, and no clue to why this may be happening.

Thank you!!

I tried a different PC with B4A installed, debugging to the Pixel 9 Pro — Same issue.

I tried to factory resetting the android device (Pixel 9 Pro) — Same issue as well.

Is it possible that this problem is related to the newest Android update? The problem still occurs with a brand new B4XPages example app.

Which Android version is installed on the Pixel?
Are you using the latest B4A version?

Hey sir!

Android 16
Build: CP1A.260305.018

And yes sir, B4A 13.40

It's very weird, I feel like it has to be the newest Android update. I use B4A almost daily, and it started happening this morning. On several PCs with B4A, and factory reset phone.

The UI never stalls, and I click click "Wait" and the app is fine. But this message comes up every 30-40 seconds. This is for any B4A project, even an empty example project.

My dad has the same Pixel 9 pro, I am going to ask him if I can test on his phone later

I installed a fresh copy of B4A 13.40 on my dad's PC.

He also has a Pixel 9 Pro, Android 16, Build CP1A.260305.018, -- Same exact issue.

When running B4A.Example, it gives a "AppName not responding" message every 40-50 seconds.

What could be causing this? I can develop around this, but not sure that I want to put out an app update like this.

Thank you!!

If possible I would suggest to create an emulator with Android 16.
To check if the problem is exclusively related to the Pixel in some way.

I've had Android 16 for quite some time, I bet it is pixel related or newest build. I will definitely try an Android 16 emulator though!

Thank you!

Edit: I think I am going to unlock my bootloader and rollback update and try that too.

But even release builds are causing this issue right now, I'm wondering if my customers will experience this?

Hey sir! I tried on a Pixel 9 Pro emulator running Android 17. It runs perfect!

It looks like I can join Android 17 beta for my phone, do you think this would be a bad idea for currently version of B4A?

Edit: Same issue with Android 17 beta, tried 3 computers with B4A 13.4 and B4A.Example

It is probably device related...
