Apps not showing in drawer - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I checked my apps in my market and can open them from there, but they don't show in my drawer. How do I get them to show up.

what launcher? restart your launcher if its LP or something, otherwise reboot your phone and give it a good 5-7 minutes to boot fully. you should see them, this happens to me sometimes with LP.

none of your apps show? or just some missing? .. yes, would need to know launcher you're using.

I experienced this problem after installing apps to my sd card. When connecting the phone via USB, the apps obviously would not appear in my App Drawer. (Using ADWlauncher ex)

Market app problem

Hi
I have this problem for a week now with my market app. At first I notice that when I open market app in top of window there are only 2 apps(see on picture...big red circle) insted of 8 or 10. Than all apps(pics) are gone and I notice that my app button is no longer same...now its just triangle intstad arrow and when I goes to my apps there are some apss instaleted on my fone missing and its doesnt shown there but there are in market when I looking for them and its show they are instaleted.And there are only 5 icons on buttom(orange circle on pic). Does any one have same problem or know how to fix it?
I try to uninstall updates,clear cach,data...and doesnt work.
Same problem here..

I have the same problem too.
Sometimes even, there are no apps on the market carousel but i can live with out that.
The problem is that My Apps is missing several of the applications i have on the phone,when i search for the missing apps through the market they display installed or update if its available.
The second problem is that if i go to the Just in section and press anywhere i get the force close pop up and it brings me back to the previous screen.
I have tried clearing the cache and data but it didn`t help,then i uninstalled the updates and the problems where gone but after the market updated itself the same problems reappeared.
I am runing a stock 2.2.1 with LauncherPro.
Oh and yes I have searched the net but couldn`t find any help.
Hey everyone here its not a problem actually you might have installed application which are not available for your region or you might have installed cracked applications thats y market doesn't show that.
No that is not the case here.All of apps except one were installed from the market.
I can`t see for example 3g watchdog,Angry birds,Desktop Visualizer,Shazaam... among others and it still wouldn`t explain the force close issue.
Update:
Well the market sorta fixed itself,well almost,since i still have the force close issue when i try to tap in the Just in section.
All of the downloaded apps are now listed in My apps,the market carousel is working properly and only the force close issue remains.
Any ideas anyone??
My market app fixed itself...yesterday I open it and its normal again.

Default Dock App Being Forgotten

I have a Galaxy Nexus running stock JB and ever since the upgrade to JB I noticed that after a restart, the phone forgets the default app to launch when being inserted in the dock. I use a 3rd party alarm clock and upon inserting it into the dock, it asks which app to run and I select the 3rd party one and then click "always". Everything works fine until I restart the phone and then I have to repeat the process all over.
I've tried clearing the cache, default settings, uninstall/re-install etc for the alarm clock and it still persists. Any ideas?
Thanks

[Q] Somethings Wrong with my S4

Hi guys, I never posted here but am trying to find some help. I've had my S4 for quite a while now, and I just factory reset everything because I kept getting a "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped." message that wouldn't go away or let me use my phone without an interruption literally every 2 seconds. But before I even had that problem, there were worse problems as well. There are two things that occur frequently:
1. Sometimes, when I tap on an icon, the indicator light shows up (a glow around the icon), but the app itself does not open. Then, if i tap on it repeatedly, nothing happens. I can temporarily fix this problem by opening up the recent/opened apps list (holding home button) and clearing everything (or clicking on that app if it had been opened). Once cleared, I can tap it again and it would open. As you might see, this can get very annoying and troublesome after doing it so many times. Is there anyway I can permanently fix this so that I don't need to keep clearing the open apps list?
2. Sometimes, when I unlock my screen, exit an app, press the home button, or clear the opened app list (as mentioned above), my wallpaper changes to an app. The app is usually random and sometimes is not one that I had opened. For example, the background of my messaging app or Astro File Manager would show up even if I had not recently opened it at all. I can also temporarily fix this by clearing the recent/opened apps list (as mentioned in #1). After clearing this, the wallpaper resets. Is there any way I can fix this permanently as well?
3. Snapchat and VSCO Cam constantly "stop unexpectedly". I don't know if this is a firmware or incompatibility issue, but it usually works fine. This message pops up once in a while and isn't too burdensome, but is still quite annoying.
Thank you for all the help in advance. I am trying to get the most out of my phone and appreciate any help.
Are you running stock or custom and has anything changed since you factory reset?

It's stock right now. Not rooted or anything at all. I didn't really change much of the device internally, only downloaded a couple of apps, but those have been working fine since the beginning. It is running Kit Kat, 4.4.2. I am currently using Nova Launcher as my home screen replacement.

After Beta 3 update recents no longer works

Was on open beta 2 no issues using nova prime launcher also with no issues. Went to open beta 3 now recents no longer work and even the home launcher will not load, it just crashes only nova works but without recents. Also not seeing crashing in settings when doing things like change wallpaper. Anyone else having this? Or know a solution short of downgrading and reinstalling everything again.
Weird mine works fine

Working fine here on beta 3..Cannot tell anything about Nova though as I'm not using it. I can suggest you clear the cache,data of both the launcher apps.. It might help.
Ended up having to do a full reset.
Have been using nova, and I did a dirty install, worked fine for me
something went south, reset got phone up with buttons working but ALOT of app crash freeze, etc, a lot of android errors mentioning timeout issues. About to use the msm tool and go clean from the get go. dropbox wont go past start screen, home camera app works until you view video then shuts down, time to wipe it all I think.

Question Apps not running in background

Does anyone else have this issue where some apps such as instagram, discord, or twitter not run in the background after clearing the recent apps screen? I have tried re-installing the apps, as well as setting their battery options to unrestricted, but to no avail. Because of this I am unable to receive any notifications from these apps. If anyone has experienced this and knows a fix I would really appreciate help.
i think i have the same issue,
received it yesterday
hopefully we get a global rom soon
The only workaround I have for this is to lock the apps that I want running in the recent apps screen. I don't like it because I have a habit of clearing my recent apps every now and then, but it will have to do for now.

The same thing happens to me. It does not happen to me with all the apps but I have verified that with several. for example the ExpressVPN app only works for me if I have the app open in "recent", if I close it the app stops working
messages app not working also, i had to install google messages and it's ok
Hi
Go to Device Shield APP /App management
change the setting in App auto Strat and background running.
I will start a new religion in your name. Ty my savior.
