[Q] Strange "missing icons" bug with Ice Cream Sandwich?

Has anyone experienced this bug? I've seen it about 3-4x already. I can't pinpoint what's causing it. I think it might be due to the use of live wallpapers but I'll update if I can find the cause.
Anyway, what happens is when I wake up the phone, there will be ZERO icons or widgets on my home screens. There is absolutely nothing!
Also, when I open up the app drawer, there are no icons in there as well!
There are 2 ways to get it back to normal again. I can open up the task manager and open an existing app that way and then go back to the home screen. Or, I can reboot the phone.
Anyone else seeing this?
UPDATE:
It just happened again, screenshots:

do you have beautiful widgets installed? When I install it I know some icons disappear, for example the blue circle in the pull down notification bar vanishes and leaves a white blank shape.

It's a launcher issue. Are you on stock, or a custom ROM?

Yep, let me try uninstalling it.

Nope, that wasn't the issue. Even after I removed BW, I still got the bug.
I wonder how common this bug is?

If you're still on stock and haven't unlocked your phone, I'd suggest taking it back to the store for an exchange... Without rooting, the only answer I might be able to provide would be temporary at best. Besides, if this is happening out-of-the-box (i.e. nothing done to it by the user), then you've been sold a defective product. What you're describing is not normal behavior for this device by any means.
Terminators run on Android...

This happens when a game or app uses alot of RAM (Deadspace, Shadowgun etc) but it should redraw I'd it doesn't its odd.

Just came in to say something similar happens to me, but its only temporary, and only one icon. I started a thread about it back in December, but didn't get any responses.
It usually happens on my phone when:
a) I install a new app from the market
b) I exit an app and go back to the homescreen
Scrolling to a different home screen will make it reappear.
This is the only 'bug' I've noticed on my phone, and I believe it is related to software. I'm not returning my phone because of it, I'm just waiting for 4.03 and hoping it gets fixed...
BTW, I'm on Stock 4.02 rooted (LTE)

same issue with a tablet
I'm having the same issue that you have described with an ASUS Transformer tablet TF101. The only way to recover is as you have described. I'm downloaded Beautiful Widgets (none active) and will remove, but as you've noted that it didn't resolve your issue, I'm not hopeful that it will resolve mine.
BTW, I ran honeycomb on this tablet since October and NEVER had this issue. I received ICS as an OTA firmware upgrade three days ago, and have had this problem repeatedly since.

Try using nova launcher

Yeah ive seen this too, happens anytime a large ram heavy task just ocurred. I think google needs to tweak in an update.

[APP] Newest VLingo ported from Galaxy Note

This is version 2.10 - old version was 2.8.x
A few differences in this one, mainly that you can set your own wake up command! (Haven't tried it myself. "Hi Galaxy" comes standard) Couple more bluetooth settings, ability to set memos and alarms, opens apps, new UI, yada, yada, yada
Edit: found out the hard way by installing on my GF's GSII... this is made for 720p screens too

Looks pretty sweet. I'll have to give it a go although I do like the type as you speak function of the default speech to voice service.

vlingo is dead to me.
since they changed a while ago... they got rid of their keyboard which my wife loved, and they changed the way the long pressed search button activates their tool. dead i say.
nice find though!

Thanks for the app, looks good and works just fine! =]

So, what's the difference between this one and the one on the market?

One from market doesn't wake up with "Hi Galaxy", it's "Hi VLingo", and you can't change it. This one is also made for our 720p screen. Also a couple extra options in this.

Social Update doesn't work on GNex

on AOKP M3 and unable to keep Voice Talk from force closing... Really wish this was available for GNex as I like the special features..

Those of you getting FCs, how are you installing it??
I can't get it to force close on my phone ever.

Facebook integration isn't baked into ICS. Did you try Twitter?

I think i figured it out. Its not quite 100% stable, but it does work well overall. The crashing that people are seeing when they can do NOTHING without a crash happens when you use any other wake-up command OTHER then the default "Hi Galaxy". If you don't change the wake-up command it works fine.
When i was changing the command it would crash before i could do anything. Tried it 3 times. Uninstalled and re-installed. Then i didn't change the command and it worked. Once i KNEW it worked, i changed the command as a test and it crashed again.
Can someone else who is getting constant crashes confirm this?

That was my conclusion as well with this app.

I'll see about testing again, but I left the wake up command the way it was (Hi Galaxy)... Mine would allow me to do a command but once complete it would then crash...
Are you leaving other version of Vlingo on your phone or removing?

hide it pro not working on ics?

Just tried it on codename and yeah it's not working at all.

any thoughts as to how to make it work? or any other alternatives, just as good?

I have not find anything better than "Hide it PRO" yet... its not working appropriately on ICS and is frequently crashing, sent couple of taps to Developer and no response yet..
I hope developer fix the issue soon or some one find the equivalent app quickly...

I hope so too because I have ALOT of porn in my gallery all of a sudden.

Huh, I just tried it and it worked for me. I'm running Blue Kuben with FF11 Modem and kernel. I don't believe I'm running the paid version if that makes a difference. I can't think of any reasons why it would work for me and not others. I've never had any issues with Audio Manager and have run all ICS ROMS.
I'm open to any questions, If I can help any.

Alright sorry guys maybe I'm thinking of a different app. I just did a search in the market for Audio Manager and this is what I got. Is this the same hide it pro ya'll are talking about?
Also sorry pdaddy but I'm mobile right now so I can't post a link.

No problem. I found it. Earlier post said there was a paid version. I couldn't find the paid version. LOL

You need to search for your old archive on your internal or sd card and it should work fine I've been using this on my hero EVO and e4gt on ics and gb roms no problem just transferred the archive to new phone and searched for it. If you don't know where the folder is its under programdata/Android/language/.fr/

Just got an SIII w/ ICS and I can get it to hide apps but not launch them from hidden and then can't unhide those apps without uninstalling and reinstalling them. More of a problem for me is that the lock apps function doesn't work. That's what I used all of the time to just lock my other mail, etc. apps so that they would error out.

Bumperooni...
Bumperooni... anyone found a work-around or a fix?

Any word fron Anju on if he is going to port Hide it to ICS?
The program Hide it pro or Audio Manager does not work on ICS. I just upgraded to a S3 and I have had nothing but problems with the program. Is the developer (Anuj Tenani) ever on this forum? Is there going to be any update to the program for ICS? Any information would be appreciated!

This great program must just have issues with ICS. I tried it on my E4GT in every ics ROM and it is horrible. Didn't launch apps and had to uninstall and reinstall. Time to let Devs know. Seems like they don't update this so often at all
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

... just a guess but I'm sure that it has something to do with the fact that the internal "sdcard" and the external. er... "extsdcard" are handled differently with the S3 on ICS and that there is no app2sd function on the S3. I was able to get the GLtoSD app to transfer a couple of my apps to the extsdcard, but Hide It Pro still wouldn't lock or hide those apps after the move... so there are also other issues.

Thanks for this looks nice! I'll test it in the afternoon.

Now available on the PlayStore :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gm

Is it version 4.3.1? I don't an update available in the Play Market

Not sure that I like it. Only 4.3.1 is in the Play Store, not the 4.5 update yet.
I liked the 4.3.1 because it shows me my categories on the left side. This just looks like the phone version and only has the sender/message preview. Lots of white space in landscape mode.

Fab thanks ! Installed from the dev site ,works well ,not sure on the Microsoftesq letters at the start of each person

With the advent of the new navigation drawer that can be swiped into view from any screen, a specific tablet version need not exist. This is incredibly clever design by Google. Not to mention the innovative "Swipe to refresh" animation.

Thanks!

Thanks mate !! :good:

Just an FYI everyone, if you are running a HALO enabled rom, you must disable HALO before trying to install this apk. HALO prevents the installation of 3rd party (apps not on the play store). You can re-enable it afterward.

Ok - I don't like it, but I can see your point.
However - have you found a way to not waste all the space recovered by not showing labels and actually display messages? On a Stock N7, I went from >14 messages visible, plus my quick labels selection to a display of <10 messages on the screen, and each message has less of a preview.
If the design is to maximize utility, I would expect to be able to do more, not see less and require more interactions to get anything done.

Customize Status Bar?

Can anyone tell me how do I customize the status bar icons on my G3? I really need to add a button to enable or disable GPS.
Thanks!

On the toggles drag them all the way left, at the very end there's an edit toggle that will take you to the customization screen thing.

It is bizarre. I can access Google Play, find an app, and attempt to download, except that the app never downloads. I get an error 495. I've googled that error and I've cleaned data and cache from Google Play and Google Framework. I've also removed my Google email address from Accounts, cleared it all again, then added my email again. No joy. Seems there are a small number of people with that problem. It's very frustrating with my brand new phone.

Try downloading an app from your browser and not the Play Store app. This has got mine working in the past when nothing else worked.

Sounds like switching Roms might solve that problem. Are you on the stock Rom? Here's the one I'm using, there are only two for now and they are both leaps and bounds better than stock. Additionally, it may be a problem with an older iteration that rom if you are using a custom one
