I was using Pure Nexus but decided Sunday that I wanted to go back to stock. I wiped data and Fastboot flashed the March Factory image. When everything was done setting up I was left with a long search bar and a missing weather widget, anyone seen this before? I've gone through all the Google app settings and haven't been able to fix it.
Yeah, I got that too.. looks like poo
There have been some articles on that, some people are seeing it some aren't. Usually happening after resetting phone or wiping pixel launcher data. http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/03/29/new-pixel-launcher-design-showing-users/

Clear the Pixel launcher cache and data under apps. This will return it to the pill/date-weather. You will have to set up your home screen again.

WTF???
Does anyone else use Go Launcher?
Everytime I setup all my widgets just right and get everything laid out, as soon as I reboot the phone it erases all my widgets. I just a full wipe and wiped everything multiple times. Then flashed protekk build #18 (because I had no issues with it before), then reinstall all apps through market, then setup my widgets and same issue....
I just got this phone as a replacement (old phone had power button issue), I haven't returned my other one yet. Is there a chance it is an issue with the phone? Never remember having this problem with the other phone...
It only erases my widgets, I have one app icon on my desktop and it loads that back up but nothing else...
Seriously man??? You've asked this at least twice in the nightlies thread. I've tried to help you at least twice. You keep ignoring my replies.
If you keep ignoring the only people trying to help you, it's going to be pretty hard to get help.

Been using golaunch for a while, never had this issue.

Sorry, I saw your reply but didn't respond to it.
I am using the theme chooser, but I never had this issue with my old phone.
I'll try going to stock theme and setting up widgets then reboot, that should tell me if its a theme issue correct?
edit: so that worked, it kept the widgets...
Kind of a bummer that it does that with Go Launcher.
For anyone having this issue, just setup your Widgets and then in go launcher setting choose backup configuration. After that everything should be Honky dory.

I'm rooted and stock (official jellybean). Whenever I delete a home screen that I don't want, Touchwiz crashes. I've wiped and it doesn't help.
What's the issue with that?
I just checked and mine does the same thing. I don't feel like resetting my home screens, but you can try going to settings->manage applications, scroll over to all, find touchwiz home and clear cache and force stop, then try. I doubt it will work, but worth a try if it's bugging you.
If you can't fix it then worse comes to worst...or rather better in my experience...download and install Go Launcher EX. Way cooler than the TW launcher and you can still use TW features but not the TW widgets (calendar, accuweather, etc but plenty of great alternatives). If you have Titanium Backup I've even found that freezing (disabling) TW hasn't caused any issues if you're using a different launcher.

Yea, I know about 3rd party launchers and I even bought Nova Prime but I don't like them that much :silly: I actually like TouchWiz and always have (even though I had an EVO 4G). I'll just deal with 7 screens, 6 of which are blank

Haven't experienced this myself, but have seen other posts saying they fixed it by going to Settings, Home Screen Mode, switching to and applying Easy Mode, then switching back to Basic Mode.

Wish I could help, but am in the same situation as you. Cannot delete home screens and have tried everything. I too have Nova Prime but switched back to tw after noticing it was draining my battery faster than tw does. Yep 5 blank screens here.

Too much hassle (not really, I just don't want to do it )
I had the same issue. Ultimately and unfortunately I did a factory reset and it worked. I could delete home pages afterward.

I ended up doing the same thing today but as soon as I set my phone back up the way I wanted it, it stopped working again. I only have 3 screens instead of all 7 last time but I found a use for the extra screen.
Updated Google Now today, and I have a few bugs.
The worst bug: When I tap on the menu key, the menu only quickly flashes.
I cannot get a card back if I accidentally swipe it away.
I cannot remove a stock from the stock card.
The vioce search is not working.
Also, although not a bug, the widget design looks too simplistic, displays minimal info (guess Google wants us to come inside), takes up only 4x3 space as a 4x4 widget. If I shrink it down to 4x3, then it will take 4x2 space, and so on. Drives me nuts.
As their flagship app, I am surprised at the low quality of this major update.
Anyone else care to share their feedback?
Maybe uninstall and re-install? Maybe try a reboot? I'm on rooted bone stock and it works fine.. I think as more cards come up the widget will use more space hence the large 4x4 space required .. Voice search working fine as well as the menu key long press
Thanks for the input. I am on stock rom and have rebooted to make sure I have a clean start. I will try un install and reinstall.

After you use long press to enter Google now, could you tap on menu again and see what happens? Mine will only flash the menu. Definitely a bug.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled it. Still the same bugs. I have also seen the same complaints in the play store now.
I finally had to uninstall the update and everything is fine again. Saw a lot of similar complaints on Google play. Can't believe this comes from Google and their flagship app.

Yea.. You're right.. Once in GN the menu is borked..
Yes, my menu button in Google Now is not working either, just to confirm and complain. WTF. Such an obvious mishap. I have not seen other phones complain about it though.
my google now is working as it was before as far as i can tell. I do a long press on the menu button on the 'button' next to the home key or long press on the google search bar to bring me into google now. Then I press the menu key which brings me to settings page
The settings page has the Google Now at the top, then voice, then phone search, then privacy and accounts. Everything works fine running cleanrom 4.0.5
My menu also flashes and then goes away.

The only work around is clicking the weather card in Google now and pressing settings. It doesn't flash then.

Same thing happening on my rooted note 2.
On Google Play it looks like most of the issues with the menu key are from GN2 users, except one report from a S3 Mini user.
The other major complaint is that the weather hourly slider is gone after the update.
And the widget sizing problem is popular too.
I cleared data in app settings menu for Google search and all is well.

There is another thread on xda where someone with the HTC sensation is having the same issue. I have a friend with the international note 2. He said he had the issue first couple tries and then it fixed itself. I tried cleaning data, uninstalling and using a themed Google now apk and nothing works. I'm rooted on clean ROM ace 4.0.5

Same problem on my stock sprint note 2.
Where's the fix?
Same bug here (stock unrooted). Clearing cache/data doesn't help. Visiting the weather card does work around the bug.
So what the hell is this? i can start the apps properly and on the homescreen everything looks still fine but in app-drawer it gets ****ed up?
And if i fell for a virus or w/e would a factory reset do the trick for me?

Might be an issue with an icon pack if you've every installed any. Clear data/cache from the Oneplus launcher.

Hello,
So, I'm wondering if there is a good app out there that clears the system cache as well as cache from applications? On my S7 Edge, there was a cleaner built into the settings under storage. There isn't anything on this pixel, and assistant for android doesn't actually clean anything out now either (guessing it's not allowed in Oreo?). I hate to go through app by app and do this manually every now and then. The reviews of apps I found on the store were hit or miss. I even downloaded Norton's cleaner, and it didn't actually clear the app cache like it said it does.
Please and thank you!

They removed the option since Nougat I think. I used Norton Cleaner on my 5X and it did a good job clearing the app cache. What didn't it clear for you?

I checked some apps before I ran it, it said it cleaned out some stuff, but it didn't look like enough. Anyway, I checked the same apps after I ran it, and nothing was cleared. Is there a setting somewhere I'm supposed to change? I looked around but didn't see anything. Uninstalled it this morning.

Hmm. Just gave it a try and look like it gets app cache for some but not all apps. Like YouTube looks like it was cleared but Instagram wasn't. [emoji848]

Yeah, I checked Facebook and Messenger, nada there. Those two are a couple of the biggest offenders too.
I haven't really paid a ton of attention to how efficient it is, but I like HTC Boost+. It's got a pretty interface, pretty versatile options, and I trust that HTC has made some decent software.

Just gave that app a try and it's seeing different cache numbers as well. The app sees Instagram with 99 MBs and app info for Instagram shows 428 MBs. Maybe all these cache cleaning apps aren't viewing the right data?
