Howdy...
I have a stock Asus Nexus 7. After installing 4.4.0, I really liked the new Google Launcher with the 'swipe left' for Google Now.
Like the original launcher, I still had 6 icons across on the new Google Launcher. 4.4.1 was fine too...
However, yesterday, I received the OTA update for 4.4.2. Now the same Google Launcher only has 5 icons across the home screen, which is much worse...
Anyone know how I can get 6 across back without downgrading?
Thanks!
Best,
Ben

Not aware of any "fix" yet - I have the same issue. I thought at first it was a gel display many of us brought over from the nexus 5, but it seems to be everyone's problem.
My home screens are full, and I like it that way! Going to 5 across with BIG icons is not necessary for me.
I rolled back and simply will not allow an update of the "google search" update that causes this problem. Will it be fixed? Who knows. It's not really a problem if this is the direction they want to go, with fewer but larger icons. ugh. Eventually, if not fixed, we'll have to give in and update. I'll give it a week before I give up.....might be time to look at a custom launcher at that point, I suppose.
For info, I'm rooted, stock rom, twrp, xposed framework, qualcomm-optimized Dalvik, etc, etc
Actually, that helps a lot! Now that I know what app caused it, I can easily roll it back. Thanks!
Best,
Ben
i've seen a few people on here on the lollipop threads since upgrading to Lollipop the google keyboard has this horrible lag which deems it unusable at the times.
clearing the cache/data on app seems to rememdy it for a few hours but it always comes back its only using the google keyboard moreso in landscape mode.
just wondering if anyone else has this problem
pure stock lollipop no mods
and also went back to kitkat for a day and could not replicate is so it must be a google keyboard to lollipop problem
well i do not have issues on the skydragon L version. I know its not the 100% stock L version but thought I'd share the info at least.
I do not have any issues either. I've used it on GPE,Sky dragon, Cyanogen and SlimLP
also forgot to mention it's only when using hangouts during threads and yes i've tried deleting threads and messages etc. even with 1 thread and 1 message in THAT thread itll still eventually come back to that lagggy state on landscape. so far it's just in that particular app inside any other app it's fine.
also i've taken the ota multiple times to lollipop from kitkat and did full ruu also side loaded ota
all with same results. and i've noticed it since the very first night 5.0.1 gpe was released
hmm well the best bet its hangouts, its not the most stable app existing on this planet
Hello there,
since 01.11.15 my widgets with 2.58 update no longer.
Only when I start Zooper and immediately terminating be updated widgets.
The same problem I had exactly one year ago also. After Update from 2.56 to 2.58 it worked again.
Since I can reproduce on 3 phones and other Internet users have the problem too, I think that a temporal barrier is installed.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no more updates. So a stillbirth?
I hope that someone here is so smart and the other to help me in the long run.

Here in xda, on xperia zx1 forum, Tornlogic say:

So I have installed the update and did some quick benchmarks before and after the update. Interesting results. So naturally the benchmarks that happened in the morning were before I installed the update and the ones in the afternoon were after I installed the update.
As for the battery benchmark, I simply ran each test for 1 hour 10 minutes. So yea, the new update provided better battery performance but worse single core... by a little. Multi-core was a tad better with the new update. This of course is not all inclusive results, as I only ran one benchmark, and that has no indication of real-life performance. If I don't notice anything drastic in the next few days, I won't post anything else here, otherwise I will keep you posted.

I ran geekbench yesterday and did not see any real difference in singlecore or multicore performance (both +- about 5 points difference to last firmware).
Auto-brightness works much better now. Also it looks like "GPS icon staying forever" bug is gone for me.
Smart lock option is empty in my sony Xperia xz1? What should I do?
EDIT:
I was able to find the answer here: Yes, I would continue to receive OTA updates for the currently installed firmware.
Original question:
Having purchased the XZ1C in the USA, if I were to flash the ...12.75 Customised DE (for instance), would I no longer receive subsequent OTA updates? Thanks.
Hello
Update installed this evening (French time).
Good news, the update file is only 112Mo to download OTA.
some new functionalities:
contact shortcuts have a small contact icon
URL shorcut looks like a Windows shorcut, with a small black Arrow at the bottom.
I have to test more now.

Disable Smart Lock (Google) in Trust agents, reboot, enable again. Should make Smart Lock available again, but it may (probably will) go blank again.

Someone just say "Adoptable storage" or ability to move to SD card and it will be okay for me to never update my phone again!
On reboot, persistent GPS icon will not appear until certain applications make use of GPS-based location services (don't know which ones at this point). If the persistent GPS icon does appear, you cannot get rid of it until you reboot. I understand Sony is working on a fix.

The Kernel hasn't been updated in this release at all.
With this new firmware, I'm havin a weird problem.
Every time I reboot, the stock Sony weather widget needs to set location, EVERYTIME.
Is it just me...?
FWIW, No problems with Sony weather app setting location on my phone.
+1
No problems with the weather app here
Thanks!

Great! It worked for me. Thanks!
I wanted to try a different firmware, because of this bug...
Anyone else having problems with the stock clock app? It force closes when I try to open it (only on this firmware). The lockscreen clock and upper right corner of the status bar are unaffected - it's just the app that includes the alarm, timer, stopwatch, etc. I've worked around it by just using Timely for my alarm and stopwatch needs, but it would be nice to have the stock clock working.
No problem for me.
I just got the XZ1 (new from eBay), it had 47.1.A.2.313, I've updated to 47.1.A.12.34, looks good so far, and, this is Android 8.0.0.
I know there is at least one more update, perhaps the 47.1.A.12.75 mentioned in this thread. Is that Android 9.0.0?
I'll update to that, but not now, I'm using my phone. Is there any big change to the latest version?
This is my first Sony phone, since I used a Sony-Ericsson a long time ago.
title says it all.
weather only updates in the widget, when i click on the weather directly and it opens in the weather app.
then it gets outdated again until i repeat.
it never updates automatically in the at a glance widget from google.
tried the beta, cleared cache. placed the specific google weather widget also on the homescreen, nothing helps.
any ideas?
thanks guys!!
disable battery optimisation for it?

for the google app?
worked like a charm from the beginning for months and just stopped working like weeks ago (but i dont know if it came with an os update)
I wish I knew what to suggest besides starting from scratch. Mine on my home screen updates fine by itself. Have you checked in the Play Store to see if you're enrolled in the Beta and might've forgotten? I'm not on the Beta and I'm currently on version 13.18.7.29.arm64.

It's probably something with that version, then, since I too am on stable but yet the older 13.18.7.29.arm64. I just manually checked for all updated apps and I'm still on this version. Hopefully, they'll release a stabler Stable version soon for you.
And hopefully, that truly is the cause.
Did you try rebooting?
You on the Android 13 beta? Or was it a different beta that you had tried? I am on the Android 13 beta and have been having the same issue since I updated to the latest beta build earlier this month. Granted, I always update beta builds ASAP and so perhaps this issue is occuring due to me disabling verity and verification this time around
I am also experiencing the same issue with the May update and Google app version 13.19.7.29. Battery optimization is disabled for the Google app and Play Services. I updated the Google app around the same time I installed the May update, so one of those two updates seems to be the issue in my experience.

That's the version of the Google app I'm on, while on the May update. I'm on the May 1, 2022 Play System update, as well. My At a Glance is updating automatically fine (using Nova Launcher Prime).

I'm using the stock Pixel Launcher. At a Glance updates fine with upcoming calendar events, status of connected Bluetooth devices, etc. Weather just refuses to update on its own, and eventually disappears if I don't update it manually for a while.
One thing I forgot to mention in my previous post: I also began using LSPosed and AOSP Mods around the time I installed the May update. AOSP Mods hooks into the Pixel Launcher, which makes me wonder if it could be part of the issue.

Could be. I use AOSP Mods also (but with Nova, not the Pixel Launcher). Temporarily disable AOSP Mods, reboot, and test it for a while.
what are those aosp mods you talking about btw?

Mine rarely updates. It's never worked properly.
