I have googled this and come up with NOTHING...so I decided to ask in XDA. Has anyone else been having problems with the facebook widget going blank, unresponsive, and useless until they delete and re-add the widget to ANY launcher? I've tried many different launchers, no change. It's just something that is very annoying, that's all. Any fixes? At my work, other people have been having the same issue for months, but they just deal with it. It's kind of crappy that they haven't fixed this issue in their updates! Thanks for any and all help.
had the same issue ending the background program and wiping the cache fixed it for my
Wiping cache...
Did you mean wipe cache in RECOVERY or in Applications? Thank you!

Obviously, have the ATT Note 2, still running bone stock. Noticed some of the ATT apps updated earlier, no biggy, but tried to set my alarm as I usually do before bed and am getting "Unfortunately Clock has stopped", tried to change ringtone since I had changed that earlier in the day and had android.process.media stopping as well. Cleared cache for clock, but no luck. Anyone else seeing this?
Troubleshooting doesn't go in General...

You may want to boot into the stock recovery, and wipe the cache for the device..
If apps are updating, there may be something stored it does not like.
Cache wipe only, not data, unless you really want to start fresh...g
I checked for OTA update on 2/6, 8:47pm and 4.4.2 was found and 'successfully' installed: HTC6500LVW_3.11.605.1_R2-2.10.605.1
Ever since, apps have been crashing on the phone like crazy. "Unfortunately, ____ has stopped." The apps that crash most often are Maps (about 5-10 sec after opening each time), Sense 5.5 and Gmail, but others that I don't use as often have done the same. The phone also now reboots itself frequently (5+ times a day).
Two other issues I've noted are (1) when returning to home screen after closing an App, it sometimes takes around 10 sec for icons to appear (possibly Sense restarting?), and (2) when I wake the phone up, the screen turns on and then I try to swipe down from the top to check notifications and the screen goes blank.
Has anyone else seen this type of instability with HTC One and KitKat? Any suggestions?
I've tried searching for a new update hoping they've fixed some of these bugs, but it tells me I'm up to date.
Have you tried clearing the cache and data for the apps that are crashing? There are no bugs like that in kk. It sounds like some data just got corrupted during the update. If wipimg the individual apps data dosent work you may have to do a factory reset or an ruu.

I'll try clearing the caches. Should I clear it for Sense though? I figured out the screen going blank when I go to swipe it, it seems to be a proximity sensor sensitivity issue. If I approach with my finger from the right (opposite the sensor), there's no issue. So it's just the sensor now picking up my finger passing over to swipe and thinking it's me putting my phone up to my face maybe?
Yeah you can clear it for sense too, but if you clear data it will wile out all the apps settings. For sense that means all the settings in the settings menu. But i dont really see what else you could do, other than a factory reset, or ruu, which will wipe everything.
Just got a Tab S 10.5 LTE the last week, and it's already the third time I'm going to factory reset, because this happens.
At a seemingly random point, widgets like Google search and AquaMail stop working (Tap here to restore, which won't work) and disappear from the widgets list. However rather than having 2 widgets under Google search, I now have one entry (Google Now). Same with AquaMail, only the 4x3 widget disappears, while the 1x1 one is still in the widgets list.
Rebooting won't help, either.
And that's the only thing I could notice anyway, god knows what else has gone missing. It's really frustrating.
I haven't messed around much, more than freezing a few proper bloatware crap, and installing xposed AdAway for Youtube. I'm sure if those are the culprits I'd be able to find similar issues googling, but nope.
Could it be caused by the new Nova version? But doubt so too, since I haven't seen any complaints about this.
It's really driving me crazy.
update: I read somewhere that it could be caused by some wrong permissions managing, and to use the Fix Permissions feature in TWRP. And so I did, and boy did it break the tablet lol. It's completely messed up, won't even let me delete a random file of mine. Yet another factory reset here I go
I am getting this error message essentially making the phone useless. I got notification I had an update on Friday. It auto updated, I installed it, it rebooted, and this message continuously pops up and I cant use anything. Factory reset did nothing, and the only semi work around is I was able to get Nova Launcher on there. It semi works but the message comes up every time I lock and unlock the phone.
Nobody seems to know the answer to what the hell this is or what happened but I need someone who is smarter than I to help me fix it please. Any advice is very much appreciated. Phone is unrooted.
Thanks in advance.
Go to setting, General, Apps, All Apps, and fine "Home". Clear cache and reboot.

tried that, it didn't seem to work. Is there something I'm missing? Do certain apps cause this?
Having the same issue right after updating to 6.0; clearing cache didn't work for me either. I suppose I'll try a different launcher in the meanwhile.
"Unfortunately, Home has stopped
I am now rooted using the video instructions from ROOT JUNKY, but I am getting this error message "Unfortunately, Home has stopped" I went to the Apps setting and resets app preference and also clear the home cache but to no effect. i am able to get the simple home setting but not the other advance home setting. please help if you can. Thanks inadvance
LG G4 H815
Problem solved for Lg G4. Go to Settings, General, Apps swipe left to "All" then scroll down to "HOME" not easy home. Open it and clear cache and also "clear data" you will get a warning message when you try to clear data, but that's ok. I was afraid to do this but it works for me, It will only clear and Home screen preference or shortcut you had. You can setup your preferred shortcuts after again. restart and select "Home" as your default. Let me know if this helps
Think not.. Still home crashes
Nope, that's not a fix. All it did was wreck my app placements and settings.. Nothing else. Immediately after clearing the cache and data it crashed exactly the same way.
Home has stopped is becoming increasingly annoying, and also increasing in frequency. I'm going to try Uninstalling the app update that started it all: Voice Mate 4.70.10.
I'll see if this works. If so I'll post here. If not, consider this an open thread and hopefully someone in the G4 community with some skills and knowledge will find a solution.
Anyone found a solution to this problem?
Unfortunately home has stopped!!!!!!!!!

If you have an LG G4 you may have seen this message and waited for the home screen to re-start again, only to happen again and again, I’ve searched all the forums to no avail, so I installed another home screen to got rid of the problem, now have a permanent fix, you have to disable Smart Bulletins:
Go to apps, hit menu, select home screen settings, turn off Smart Bulletins.
Just got my 6p yesterday and Getting multiple restarts and system UI crashes , I did restore my phone with apps ect I wonder if that could be the issue anything helps thank you .
Sounds like it. If your using a custom launcher delete the widgets and readd them
No custom launcher should I factory reset? or try something else will delete the 1 widget and see if that helps any other solutions is welcomed thank you
There are some people here that had a similar issue (including me), I myself had to get a new device (replacement) from Google to solve that issue. We already had/have a thread about this, maybe you can find some info there.
Okay thank you back from a restore less restarts but still getting them & phone freezes up from time to time guess this is a serious issue & not just software smfh.

I'd do a FDR and start from scratch. I know it takes longer but I do it with every new phone and after a major OS update. I'm a firm believer in not bringing any data over from an old phone.
Can you define FDR? I have done a factory reset if that's what you mean but I think I have fixed the issue will report back after 12 hrs of testing & results
I had the same issue before but this is what I had done before and after, so I hope this advice may help you.
I had come from a OnePlus 8 Pro, so I naturally wanted to transfer all data from 1 phone to the other. BIG MISTAKE! I had several reboots during the 1st few days. So I started searching around this forum and found a few people suggesting that you factory reset your phone but DO NOT TRANSFER any data from your old phone to your new phone (using the cable). Instead, factory reset your Pixel 6 without restoring any data, then once you get through the initial setup, upgrade to the latest version using an OTA file. Once you did that, then start slowly manually transferring the data from your old phone manually. This is what I did and have had no issues since, no reboots and everything seems solid. Battery life seems way better doing is this way and the UI seems more stable as well, as before, it would be janky and the battery would drain.
I hope this helps
I had the exact same issue and it was only solved by getting the device replaced. I found the replacement device worked better in all respects, not just solving the reboot problem.
Just get a replacement!
