[Q] Tiles not working? - Windows RT General

Hi guys from xda,
I often get the problem of tiles not working after using my surface RT for some time.
I am still able to scroll around and live tiles are still working therefore it isn't the tablet hanging, or anything that has stop responding.
Tapping on any tiles just would not launch the app.
I'm wondering if anyone have the same problem as me ????
Please help!
Thank you

Oddly enough this happened to me for the first time yesterday. The Google app quite working and crashed, and after that Google and the Store app wouldn't respond to a tab to open. I don't remember if I tried anything else. Desktop apps still would open. System was feeling rather sluggish too. I hadn't rebooted in quite awhile though. A reboot fixed it, but I too am curious if there was a way to resolves this sans reboot. I suspect some process related to the Google app got stuck, but I don't know what was up with the Store...

News360 for Phones widget does not work on GN/ICS!

I'm pretty sure it's a ICS issue since both myself and a friend with a LTE Nexus have same issue but wanted to know if anyone got this working. The News360 for phone app works perfectly when launching the app directly and the widget displays fine. However, when I try to launch a story from the widget I get a black screen and the phone starts getting unresponsive. I have to hit home a bunch of times to get out and then eventually the app crashes. I've opened something on their GetSatisfaction page so if you are having this issue please go there and vote it up so they will hopefully fix it. It's a great app and the widget looks/works great on our GN but we just need it to be fixed.
Thanks.

Huge problem with gyroscope, please help.

As title.
Since many days my gyroscope is going mad.
If I leave the phone motionless, on a table for example, the gyroscope does not remain stationary, it moves.
I tryed the free app from the market GyroRotate, I leave the phone on the table, and the cube moves by itself. This make games like battlefield unplayable.
I'm experiencing this problem since some days, why?
I have the stock rom. Are you experiencing the same problem?
Can you try the GyroRotate app please and tell me if your cube moves if you leave the phone on the table?
Thanks.
Tested with that App and mine is fine. Have you tried the figure 8 movement to reset the gyro?

Mine also works as expected.
Thanks to all. Now is fine here also.
A battery pull solved the problem.
Neither a reboot solved before the battery pull.
My phone takes 4-5 seconds to switch from landscape and portrait and I am having the same issue with games from time to time. I am still incredibly surprised and annoyed that they did not include a "calibration" option in settings.
Mine still has roughly a 2 second lag when rotating. Today when playing a game that you can rotate to landscape on either side it keeps flipping itself as though I'm holding the phone upside down...argh...so frustrating.
I tried the figure 8 now and if that doesn't help then I did a battery pull
I tried to find the GyroRotate app but it doesn't exist on the android market.
Still having issues.
I have the same problem I wonder if the games are messed up, because the app "gyroscope rotate" works fine.
But Brothers in arms 2 (free app) it's moving to the right by itself.
Can someone else try this game?
Also Asphalt 6 is messed up too.

pull battery didn't help..
same problem here, tried battery pull with phone turned off and then turned on, but still neither worked. Don't understand what "8 movement" people are talking about. Is any way I can solve this problem ??? I want to use google cardboard on my galaxy s4 but it goes to one side alone slowly -.-
Goggle Cardboard problem
Hi, I have the same problem with realy slowly movement of sreen in Google Cardboard app. I have tested my gyroscope with other app and it is very accurate. Any suggestions how to fix it
Same problem with Samsung Galaxy S3, after shaking the phone the movement changes direction for a while. This problem is really visible in virtual reality apps. What can be done to fix this? Any help is really appreciated!
Same problem here with the galaxy note 3. The cardboard app is impossible to enjoy and also photospheres are moving left by their own. Could it be an hardware problem? Has anyone found a fix?
Here is the solution that worked for my Samsung Galaxy S4:
1. Open Phone app
2. Tap on Kepad tab
3. Type *#0*#
4. Tap on Sensor
5. Put your phone on a flat surface
6. Tap on Gyro selftest button
7. After the PASS message, tap the back button until you exit on the homescreen.
That's it! Hope this helps you guys.

I'm having the same problem on 4 different mobile devices (2 phones, 2 tablets) al of which were working fine yesterday.
The problem is obviously from youtube.
They are making horrible changes.
Subscriptions don't appear on the home page anymore. We are now forced to see what they choose to throw at us.
Very sad!
same here, then is not my tablet, hope they fix it
I see, i thought it was my tablet, it does look like they're doing changes for the worse :/
same to me.

PAC-Man ROM problems

This is the first time I have used a PAC-Man rom, and I have spend a half hour trying to find a couple of settings. If anyone else is familiar with the ROM, and can lend a hand, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
Ok, first off, where to I set the screen timeout? I don't see the setting under the normal settings->display options.
Second, I found that when I look at my recent apps, I see a little app bar with Apollo music player, camer, calendar, calculator, twitter and a couple others in it. Is there any way that I can customize these shortcuts? I play all my music through Google Play Music, and would love to substitute Apollo for it.
For now, that's all I can find (or can't find) wrong. Finally having an S-Off One is really showing off how awesome this phone is.
For the display timeout. Settings>Display&Lights>Sleep.
As for the bar in recents, I'm looking for a way to customize it as well.
Have you noticed any problems with WiFi or loading videos at all? For some reason I can't play Videos through the web or app for YouTube. And my WiFi seems to run at about half speed when I run a speedtest, compared to other devices.
I had problems for a while with YouTube, but without really doing anything it started working (I may have rebooted due to problems with my home screen). I haven't seen away to customize the shortcuts on recent apps yet either. Have you guys charged at all? Mine phone got pretty hot.

I've been running the ROM since we got rumrunner, and I've noticed my phone actually runs cooler while charging and normal use.
I just happened to wake up in the middle of the night and checked it. It was cooler than usual like you mentioned. I dont know what the deal was.

Have you had problems with a laggy launcher at all? Sometimes when I return to the home screen from an app, none of my icons or widgets show up until I hit the app drawer.

I still have yet to figure out how to change the recent apps. I haven't noticed my phone getting hotter than normal, so I'd check to see what apps you have running.
I also haven't had any issues with YouTube, but for some reason, Google Search doesn't want to work. It just looks like it keeps trying to load and nothing ever comes up. It states that a new version is available, but when I try to update, saying that the "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again." So, whenever I need to search for something, I have to go into chrome and search, which is a pain.
I updated to the 10/13 nightly and it seems to be running pretty well. Battery life is a bit better too. In the PACman thread it sounds like the 10/14 nightly didn't quite build right.

PAC-Man seems to be the best of all worlds. Unfortunatly, I have had little luck with it on any phone I have tried it on. Works great on my Samsung 7.7 tablet but tried it on my GNEX and S3 and I would have constant issues. Very laggy and random reboots. Some apps also did not place nice with it on the GNEX and S3. I have not tried it on the One as Vanir seems to be running really good.

I did have some issues with lag, but after switching to Nova launcher I haven't had any problems. It does sound like the most recent nightly has some fixes for the laggy launcher. Other than that minor issue, this ROM has been pretty stable.
I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

[Q] Modern Combat 4 minimizes instantly

So I installed Game Killer recently onto my rooted Nexus 7 and I decided I would try to give myself a bottomless clip on MC4. Now, despite the fact the app was working just fine before the root, it immediately minimizes when I start up now. I click the app and a black screen opens for a couple of milliseconds before the game minimizes back down. I can still see it in the running apps menu but if I try to open it from there it just does the same thing again and again. I've already tried the basic solutions like reinstalling and rebooting my device but that's pretty much all my options.
I know that it's not a crash, seeing as the app is still running. It just doesn't maximize correctly and I can't actually view the game. With that, I've exhausted all my options because I'm not getting any feedback about the error and I can't look at a crash report because it hasn't crashed. I can't find anyone else with this problem either.
