Something funny, don't know if anybody has seen this....
On my main screen I have the WiFi & Mobile widgets from HTC.
on the third screen (swipe to the right) i have those widgets in exaactly the same location.
But no wthe funny thing..... I was having trouble with my mobile data connection so i wiped the phone. Then i put the widgest on the same place and everything is working fine. I try to repair my mobile data connection in various ways so plenty of reboots.
Then i decided to see hwat's going on inside and i installed logcat. After doing this, the widgets didn't respond anymore. I could tick them but they would not change. However i could see wifi coming on in the status bar so every thing seemed to work execpt for the widget itself beeing updated.
Getting bored with the widget I decided to remove the widget. But after removal, another one (on the same position) was still visible. I removed that one too. Exactly the ssame happened with mij mobile widgget.
I have seen this "stacking of widgets on top of each other" so far with the contacts widget, agenda widget, wifi widget, and mail widgets......
Has anybody seen this.
So my phone was in working order again couple of reboots later i decided to install bugreport to again see what was going on insid ethe log...
Same behaviour.....
I Deinstalled them and have not seen this behaviour again..... but i wonder what's causing this behaviour
some times when I close services / apps etc.. system ones.. I get wigits on top of each other on one page , I thing scroll to the next page .. lock my phone ,,, and unlock it.. everything is back to normal ...
I am already starting to get full homescreen redraws more and more often all of a sudden when going back to the homescreen from an app. This is reminiscent of the same issue on all previous Android OSs and I loathe it. This also was known to happen often on LauncherPro and ADW, although I am on the stock 4.0 launcher here.
Yes, on the Nexus it recovers more quickly, but it still slows you down for a couple of seconds and looks stupid doing it.
Is anyone else who has widgets on most screens starting to experience complete redraws and have to wait a few seconds for it to recover back up to speed?? I already tried the Terminal command to save the homescreen in memory but it is still happening the same.. It's starting to happen more and more frequently.
EDIT: Ok now it's literally refreshing/redrawing the homescreen icons and widgets every single time I go into any app and hit back or home. Every time. I thought I was done with this crap on this new OS but apparently not at all. How can this be happening and all of a sudden non-stop?
Rebooted and removed the one new widget I had added today, and still, the homescreens have to re-draw before my eyes every single time I go back to them from anywhere else on the phone. WHAT THE ****.

OK, I almost had a heart attack that the phone was going to keep doing this now, but I just figured out why. I was showing my friend the phone and the options in Developer options, and I must have accidently turned on "Don't Keep Activities"...that's why Launcher would terminate every time I left it!! It closes each app when you leave it.
So make sure if this is every happening to you, you check that option!!
Sorry to sound so paranoid guys
I am having an issue when I hit the home button, my home screen wallpaper shifts back and forth. Almost like it spazzes out for a sec. From then on, if i am on the home screen, I hit the home button it does the same thing. Sometimes shifts the wallpaper to the right or left, so the remaining half is black, or it will zoom in on the wallpaper.
It doesn't seem to matter if i am using a stock wallpaper or custom. I do not have that many apps installed. All of them are apps that I have used before. This is the odd-er part, A hard reset will stop this issue for couple of days. It then starts ups again. Nothing else will even temporarily solve this except for the factory wipe. I can kill all the running apps, uninstall all downloaded apps, sketchy wallpaper still present. The other issue Ive noticed related to this is when I am in the gallery or quickpic menu, the menu itself is very "glitchy"
I am stock and not rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Simple solution.. Root it =0)~. I haven't seen the issue (been rooted since i got phone) My best guess would be to restore (Odin) to factory.
Mine does it as well and I am rooted. I don't know what it is and only happens when it wants and does not do it every time. I noticed it a few days ago when I pressed the home button or unlocking the phone, the wallpaper jumps a little in one direction and then another and stops. Weird, haven't really looked into it as it really isn't a big deal.

Even after I restore to factory, the issue still comes back. Thanks for the feedback.

No worries.. I don't know Tbh.. I've been rooted on the peoples rom since day one lol.
Wallpaper Wizardrii appears to be the culprit. Added apps one by one until the problem came back. Uninstalled wizardrii, problem has stopped. Too bad because I liked the app.

I thought that was the problem as well, never individually tried them. Really liked that app too.

I have a weird problem, a few days ago I could not turn off the morning alarm because the icons in the lower bar (turn off and snooze) just couldn't be pulled up. I thought I was just too sleepy but I later realized that I can't use the lockscreen shortcuts either. The phone registers the touch but the icons just don't move upward. Also can't decline a call because of this.
Everything was fine the day before this happened, there were no system updates, no settings changed. The phone is running on stock rom, Android 4.2.2, Sense 5.0. No matter what settings I change I can't get it to work again, tried searching google and xda and found nothing similar. If I try to use the lockscreen shortcuts multiple times and then go to the app drawer and just scroll up and down sometimes a random app opens, most often messaging or mail, like it registers the lockscreen command only then. This is so annoying, does anyone know what I can try to eliminate this problem? I wouldn't like to try flashing a custom rom because I don't have any experience and am otherwise satisfied with stock system. Please excuse me if my questions are in any way stupid, I'm just a noob
I still can't find a fix for this, is there really nobody else with this problem?
Now I decided to hard reset the phone to fix this...yeah right, the shortcuts still don't work!
Hi, I just bought this phone a couple of days ago and I have a few problems.
First of all, I am using Lawnchair Launcher because I couldn't deal with having only 4 apps on a row but I don't think this influence my problems. The problems that bother me are that any clock widget I try to use always remains behind the in-built clock on the notification bar while the alarms seem to show random times. I have to point out that I tried about 6 or 7 different ones and they all end up doing this.
The second problem is that I installed Navbar Apps because having a white navigation bar in almost every app is annoying and I wanted it black. However, if I don't let it stay open in the task manager ( or whatever is called the thing where you see all recent opened apps ) it stops working. Furthermore when I open the app it says "Detection of running apps is disabled.", I press Enable, the phone takes me to the Accessibility settings but the app is already enabled. I already tried to change the battery settings and in the Installed Apps settings but it doesn't change anything. I hope somebody smarter can enlighten me.
Thanks and have a great day!
