HD Widget - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey Guys,
I've had a small problem with HD Widget where the setup page appears as a very small block half way down the right side of the screen.
This means that I can change the display of the widget, in fact getting the widget to display requires some random taps.
I should note that this wasn't a problem initially, and only appeared after messing around trying to "create" a programme.
I've tried uninstalling... Clearing data... even a factory reset... and the problem persists... I'm a little out of ideas...
Do you have any suggestions?

Wait until HD Widget is made compatable with ICS.
Mark.

That's the thing everything was working properly. So I'm think that it's something I've done. But that wouldn't persist after a hardrest right?

Is it HD Widgets from the market?
Mark.

Yes...
I've just done another hard reset... But disabled the back up and restore feature before hand... seems to have done the trick...

The restore feature will restore any previous app settings so im glad that fixed it for you. You can also go into the settings apps and clear it that way.
Mark.

Did try clearing the app settings originally... no change..
All worked out now... Thanks for posting

Figured it out... the 2d accelerator in the dev setting was causing the problem

Figured that it was in relation to the 2d acceleration not my app...
So as per your comment... will have to wait or deal with it.
Thanks
Neville

I had same issues with plume and tweetcaster. I can't set them up on the phone with or without 2d acceleration as the auth page is unreadable....

CM7/GoLauncher Issue..

WTF???
Does anyone else use Go Launcher?
Everytime I setup all my widgets just right and get everything laid out, as soon as I reboot the phone it erases all my widgets. I just a full wipe and wiped everything multiple times. Then flashed protekk build #18 (because I had no issues with it before), then reinstall all apps through market, then setup my widgets and same issue....
I just got this phone as a replacement (old phone had power button issue), I haven't returned my other one yet. Is there a chance it is an issue with the phone? Never remember having this problem with the other phone...
It only erases my widgets, I have one app icon on my desktop and it loads that back up but nothing else...
Seriously man??? You've asked this at least twice in the nightlies thread. I've tried to help you at least twice. You keep ignoring my replies.
If you keep ignoring the only people trying to help you, it's going to be pretty hard to get help.

Sorry, I saw your reply but didn't respond to it.
I am using the theme chooser, but I never had this issue with my old phone.
I'll try going to stock theme and setting up widgets then reboot, that should tell me if its a theme issue correct?
edit: so that worked, it kept the widgets...
Kind of a bummer that it does that with Go Launcher.
For anyone having this issue, just setup your Widgets and then in go launcher setting choose backup configuration. After that everything should be Honky dory.

Touchwiz forgetting app drawer layout?

Several times I have edited my app drawer order, grouping apps by type on each page (a page for games, a page for internet stuff, a page for utilities, etc.), creating folders, etc. Then I hit Menu > Save, and everything is fine, until I reboot my phone. Then it loses the app order, and a few apps get seemingly randomly moved to their own pages, so the total number of pages grows from about 5 to upwards of 8 or 9. It seems like the most recently added apps get moved, but not always. I move them all back how they should be, but they only stay until a reboot.
Anyone else have this happen? Or better, found out why? Or even better, how to make them stay?
Really? Does nobody sort their apps? Or nobody has had this problem?

I don't sort them in the App Drawer. I leave them arranged alphabetically grid or list. I do arrange the ones I most often use somewhere on the 7 Home Screens though.
They will not stay. It is an annoying problem. I use folders now to group my apps. And I have my apps sorted to stop the spacing issue.

Still happening on Starburst ROM 1.5, so the problem it's with TouchWiz and is not ROM-specific.
I made a backup of TWLauncher with Titanium, so when my drawer gets really messed up I restore data from the backup (killing the running process) and it does restore my app layout as it was when I made the backup. Not a solution, but a lot quicker than re-sorting 50 apps. If only I could figure out how to trigger a save of the layout...it seems to just do it occasionally and I can't figure out what triggers it (certainly not when the Save button gets pressed...as if that makes sense).
Had anyone replicated this issue on TouchWiz 3.5? (or is it 4.0... whatever the flashable one is that's newer than what ships with the device).
I know what u mean but for me its all good after i fix it a second time untill i change then itll revert to just before i changed
It only happened to me on 4.5 thiugh
Good thing actual tw4 launcher doesnt have that problem

Yes, it's a problem with TouchWiz - I can replicate this behaviour on my S2, factory 2.3.5 ROM without root

Bummer. Guess we have to wait for an official update to get an updated launcher.
are you saving the changes ?
You have to make your changes then hit menu again and save changes.
otherwise they don't stick.
after clicking save don't press anything for 30 secs or so
that seems to do it for me
if i save and immediatly go back it doesn't save

Okay, I'll do some organizing and give that a try.
hi all,
after updating my galaxy s2 from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 with kies, i had the same problem about sorting applications page.
i didnt reset my phone before or after updating with kies. first i tought that i might be about this. i was looking for a solution and i read these posts. without resetting my phone i just tried to delete files of TW Launcher.
Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All(tab)
find and tap "TW Launcer"
tap "Clear data" button.
after that my home screen and applications screen look default.
applications screen sorted alphabetical.
i customized my home and app screen again and till now didnt change anyting, i mean didnt forget the layout of apps.
i wanted to share this little unprofessional solution with you =)
if there is a better way i want to learn.
finally i have a question, after updating to 2.3.5, when i tap contacts, it opens slowly, after 1 or 1.5 seconds lag(black screen) it opens. but not always. it happens just sometimes.
do you have the same behaviour?
sory for my english. looking forward to see your answers or comments.
i tried and there is no problem anymore

14th post,
see my firs post
I'm really surprised I haven't seen more people complaining about it but I guess most are not running TouchWiz.
To re-explain the problem I'm having..
You arrange all the applications in different panels the way you want (after you hit "applications" not the home screen panels)
After turning the phone off and on again Or plugging it in to the computer via USB and removing it, all the applications are a mess again. Not the way you arranged them and there doesn't seem to be any logic behind it.
It's not just the way they were the last time you turned the phone off or the last time you plugged in the USB cable.
I also thought having folders in an earlier panel may be causing later panels apps to get bumped around but I've tried it with the folders in the last panel and I get the same randomness.

[Q] Some apps squeezed to lower left quardrant on Galaxy Nexus after rooting

Hi
After rooting, I observed that 3 apps - Call Logs Backup & Restore (com.riteshsahu.CallLogBackupRestore), Zipcar (com.zc.android), and S2 Calendar Widget (com.byte256.calendarwidget), have their screens squeezed to the lower left quardrant. (see attachments. The 4th one is S2 Calendar Widget launched from the drawer.)
I vaguely remember that Call Log Backup behaved just fine before I rooted/fastboot oem unlock the Galaxy Nexus with Modaco's Superboot r3. But I don't want to go through the trouble of unroot/fastboot lock after setting up all my apps.
I suspect if I change the pixel density maybe they'll show themselves. But LCDDensity for Root has no effect.
I know this is an obscure problem so if you can try these 3 apps out and see if the problem is isolated on my phone only, that'd be great too!
go to the developers options in the settings and turn off forced gpu rendering.

It worked! Thank you. Who would have thought to check there.
I shouldn't have listened to Myriam Joire of Engadget to turn on that setting.

Yeah if it was so simple, wouldn't Google just turn it on by default?

[Q] Cog Wheel Flashing/Texting Flicker

There's a picture of a blue cog wheel flashing in the top right corner everytime I press the power button and view my home screen. Anyone have this issue?
Also, does anyone else have the bug where you try to open a thread (texting) and it just goes back to your page of contacts like 5 times before you can view your thread?
Here are the solutions!

Have you rooted your phone? It has not happened to anyone in this world in Stock ROM.
Look, the Amazing Spiderman 3D Live Wallpaper has a sign in the top right corner when we switch between homescreens. So, I think it might be something with the wallpaper you're using..
OR
It may be some app you downloaded that runs all the time (like a battery saver app) which shows some sort of sign when the screen is turned On and the phone is Awake.

Yes, it happened to me. Not 5 times, but I must say that the Stock Messages app is bad! Very, Very, Very bad!
It'll go away by itself.. At least now it doesn't happen with me... Actually its because HTC One V hasn't loaded all the threads and we command it to open a thread. So, after 1 second when all the threads (the whole messages app is loaded) it takes us back to show the full messages app loaded.
Ah great explanation, thanks man. Any new messaging apps that you would recommend? The phone is actually my mothers with that issue that has been not sending texts at random intervals and wanting htc error reports as well. It has a 3d wallpaper, not rooted and I don't think either of those have to do with the wheel. It's pretty much stock.
Here you are! Messages app- SOLVED !

No. I won't recommend any 'cause I've never seen any! Also, it's not needed! You know... My memory RAM was too low (always 30-40MB free). But when I uninstalled many apps that I never used, with the phone getting faster, the messages app has also got smoother. :laugh:
Now why did this affect the Messages app? --Because I uninstalled apps that took a lot of RAM, my RAM got released much after they got uninstalled. Now I have 70-80MB of RAM free and indirectly this helps the Messages app by allowing it to take RAM and store cache. Now I dont have any problem with Messages app..
Perform the following steps-
Clear the data and cache in Settings-Apps-Messages.
Open the messages app and use it.
Go to Settings-Apps.
Under the Running tab, gently tap on the green area at the bottom right (which indicates your free RAM).
The Running tab will then show the cached processes.
The more the memory is used by the Messages app, the more it gets smoother.
If no memory is used, let me and eveeyone on XDA know.

I'll have to ask next time I see her. Thanks for the help so far.
Well, after looking at it today (it was the wallpaper with that stupid cog!!)
I've determined it's only issue now is she can't send texts with pictures attached or it fails. Any ideas on this?

help app drawer bug !!

Guys. Wondering if anyone has the same issue ?
I have organized the apps in my app Drawer into folders.... however after I restarted the phone.. the app Drawer does not memorized it... all the apps that I put into folder now no longer organized... however the folders are still there , just with out the apps...
I tried this on both mine and my wife ...
In my app drawer I put all of att apps in a folder. Then I restarted the phone. The folder is still there with all the apps in it. I do know, if an app get updated, sometimes they move out of any folders. Recently my note4 did go though a bunch of app updates, do you think this is what may have happened?
app drawer bug
I checked mine.. some of the apps are in folder but some other folders become empty with no apps in it.... this didnot happen with my note2 eventhough there is app update..
Happened to me as well. I found a reasonable workaround though: in the app drawer, open the settings menu, select Sort By and then select Custom (not aplhabetical). This fixed the problem for me.
Thanks i will give it a try
It does not work. My apps still come out from the folder...
I'm having the same issue. In addition, some TouchWiz settings are not sticking through reboots. It's starting to become really, really annoying... I shouldn't have to reorganize 80+ apps every time I reboot the phone. I've already done a factory reset, tried clearing data on the launcher, and neither have worked.
I hope there is an update to fix this soon... i am surprised we are not seeing much feedback on this..

Seriously just got the "note4" and this happened to me as well.
We need help please fix this bug. .
I went back to using Nova Launcher Prime. No more issue.
My wife's phone also suffers from this. It is a rather annoying problem made even worse by the fact that I have to listen to her complain to me about it numerous times.

Darn, was hoping to give TouchWiz a fair shot before I replaced it, but with this and a few other glitches, I'm going to switch to Nova also until it gets a few bug fix updates.
Smart Launcher here. I like simplicity and it groups apps into categories for you. You can edit and add of course.
