Hi. I have been having problems using any 3rd Party Alarm Clocks. The alarms work great only if the screen is active or application is active (foreground). If my screen is off and the application was not left in the foreground the alarm will not go off.
This is not a problem specifically with the clock applications, I believe it is a phone setting or miss behaving app. Just wondering if anyone might have any insight as to what may cause this.
I am running Android 4.1.2. Currently on Wicked Sensations. It also is not ROM related, others don't have this problem. The stock alarm works fine. It is not related to any frozen apps. I ruled that out. I am certain if I flashed fresh Rom and installed all apps fresh it would fix this minor glitch. But it bugs me not knowing what has caused it.
So I am just curious if anyone has ever experienced this issue and if so were you able to fix it.
Thanks

Hey guys, title pretty much says it all. I have had problems with Beautiful Widgets. It keeps randomly force closing. It usually happens after I wake the phone up. It will say beautiful widget has stopped worked then force close. The widget keeps working and everything. Anyone have any ideas? I have tried uninstalling and installing it. Any other tricks you guys have. I know it says that it is supported. I am running Revolution HD. Stock Kernel.

Have you tried a different rom? Im on aokp and haven't had any force close issues
No, I haven't tried a different rom. I will eventually be making my way to CM9, but wanted to wait another week or so. Nobody else on Rev HD is having issues with beautiful widgets. Which makes me think that it might be something with the application itself?
I haven't had any problems on gummy or CNA with multiple kernels. Clear cache and app data if that doesn't work; try to Uninstall/re install
I uninstalled, then installed again still had issues. I then cleared app data and it worked. I noticed that when i created a new widget the weather animation was disabled. The secondi turned it on. The force closes started again. any ideas on why the animation would cause this
did you get it from the market or somewhere else?

Weired. I used beautiful widgets on stock, aokp and apex with not problems whatsoever. Try wiping app data with titanium.
aahhh, finally got it. I ended up uninstalling the animation add on lol.. then re installing it. Beautiful widgets was using almost 100 megs of memory, now it's using 7 haha.... hope this helps someone if anyone else is having issues!
Thanks
Hey guys,
So just a little background: Running PA 2.53 on Trinity 63
The problem: Sometimes I'll try and play a video, on youtube, locally, basically anywhere and the phone just won't. It'll sit there loading then when I hit back the app FCs. A restart will fix the issue until I run into it again, at which point I have to reboot again.
Extra: This isn't exclusive to my configuration. I've had the same issue since I got the phone (before root and rom). The issue persisted on PA with the included kernel as it does with the Trinity kernel. I like PA though and would like to stick with that. I don't know if this is related, but when this happens my face unlock also stops working (loads for a second then flips to the pattern grid)
So, folks, has anyone heard of anything like this? I don't think it's a hardware issue since a restart usually clears it up, but it's really frustrating (and embarassing when I want to show someone a video I literally just took) Any suggestions on how to fix it?
I had the same issue. Uninstalling VLC beta solved it. I don't know if you have a third app video player installed, but you might want to try that.

Only QuickPic. I just uninstalled it now and am seeing if it makes any difference, doubt it will since it's not a video player with its own codecs like VLC.
Bump, other opinions?
I have found a similar issue on another site that outlines the exact problem I'm having, seems many are having them since Jelly Bean. Factory Resets don't help.

I've read descriptions and watched videos of the flickering issues, and haven't come across what I'm seeing on my phone. It's flickering but not so much of the screen as the elements being displayed, and only in certain situations.
I will take a screenshot next time, but I've found an easy fix for now, in case anyone else is experiencing this issue.
On the home screen while scrolling, icons and widgets will glitch. Either the background will flicker and disappear, or the foreground image or the whole damn thing disappears and reappears. The background also flickers. Will happen in app drawer too. It's happened in multiple launchers.
I've also noticed this happening in the camera app when scrolling through the effects dropdown.
My fix: power down, pull battery.
So far so good. I'm not sure what causes the problem, but I did install new apps right before the glitch began. Uninstalling these apps does not help. Disabling HW overlays and other GPU options doesn't help.
Anyone ever have anything similar?

reflash your rom. If problem persists, flash stock rom. If problem still persists, clear all traces of root and send it in for repair.

I found the real culprit causing this issue:
Display > Auto adjust screen tone
Once this was turned off this problem completely disappeared.
Hello everyone, I'm having a weird problem with clock app on Jelly Bean 4.3 (Xperia M SS). The alarm rings at the hour I set it to, but the alarm screen itself (with a turn-off slider and snooze button) all of the sudden stopped appearing! I'm currently turning the alarm off by using Fast Reboot app, but that's not the most handy way. I'm running stock 15.4.A.0.23 firmware with Xposed Framework and Internal Memory Swap. I think the problem started somewhere around the time, when I swapped the memory, although I'm not sure if that's related to it - baring the mentioned issue, clock app works fine.
I already tried clearing clock app data, rebooting the phone, cleaning cache and dalvik cache - but that didn't solve the problem.
Is anyone else having this issue or knows what might be causing it?
Thanks in advance for suggestions.
UPDATE: Fixed it by flashing nandroid backup. Thread can be closed.
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.
