Recent Apps Not Clearing

sliding_billy · Sep 6, 2019

The only odd thing I am seeing on my wife's Pixel 3 after updating to 10...

Factory image .19 flash-all (minus -w), rooted and running ElementalX.

When I half swipe up to recent apps and use clear all or individually swipe them away they appear not to be removed if I look again. They are actually removed from memory since if I click on one it says app not available. Locking and unlocking with the power button doesn't clear the "shells," but locking with the accessibility menu and unlocking does clear them. Of course, rebooting clears them. Opening another app leaves only that one in recent apps. I'm pretty sure it is a 3rd party app and not a build issue since I cannot replicate it is safe mode. Just wondering if anyone else has seen it.

What apps do you know for sure run on startup to see if we have any in common? Apps that get an SU notification are an easy place to start. Have you tried narrowing down the app? Since this is my wife's phone, I'd rather not hijack it to freeze an app, reboot, check for issue, re-enable and freeze another, etc. It is a non-issue to her since she never clears recent apps.

For me, it happens in safe mode too. Only when I use another launcher the recent apps menu works as expected. But, when I go back to the pixel launcher the problem comes back again.

I do not have any su notifications and my pixel is not rooted.

Thanks for the info. Not rooted helps a lot. Maybe I just got lucky in safe mode. Just for giggles, I assume you didn't do a factory reset but took the OTA or sideloaded it with in place data. Google tried the factory reset line on me without knowing for sure that it isn't a build glitch. Maybe my wife doesn't know that she is getting Lawnchair installed. At least, then it will match my launcher.

Do you know if a factory reset solves the issue?
I noticed aswell, that after some minutes the apps clear themselves, without any other action.

I ended up putting her account on the beta of Lawnchair 2, but right before I installed LC I couldn't get the problem to recur LOL.i like LC better anyways juts for not having to do that ridiculous long swipe up to get to the tray. Otherwise, you can make it look/act nearly identical.

I tried on beta 3-4 no joy yes I noticed that also

I still tend to think that it is a 3rd part app that unfortunately lots are using interacting poorly with the base. Kind of a moot point now that the phone is on the Lawnchair beta and it is on the Play Store now. Check it out if you are having the issue or just want to get rid of the long swipe up to the drawer. The funny thing is that this phone had the issue of notifications not clearing (after tapping) without a second swipe down for no reason. That went away and was replaced by this.

Have you find any solution to this issue? Basically, there is a bug in Android 10 that creates a "ghost" image of recents apps, after you close them with the back button or back gesture.

No, it still happens but less frequently. She has Lawnchair on her phone now which doesn't have the issue. You can also force close them by using the lockscreen shortcut in accessibility menu (I like to use that to avoid pressing the lock/power button any more than I have to). and then unlocking.

I will give it a try. Thank you
