Hello!
I got an issue regarding MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. The bug started after the app had been working for a while, what happens is that when i go to the Picture Source option (doesn't matter if it is on Common Settings or an Individual Screen) and select Single Picture:
The screen goes greyed out (as if a menu should be popping up leaving the background out of focus), when i before had the option to pick a file explorer to browse with, nothing happens. If i touch the screen or press anything else the menu goes back into focus, i just cant seem to be able to pick a picture.
The popping up of file explorer was quite slow before already, but now the transformer even goes to standby before anything happens.
What i've tried:
Cleaning data of MultiPicture Live Wallpaper
Reinstalling the app
Cleaning data of Launcher Pro Plus (also tried without having it installed at all)
Reinstalling that app as well.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: The nature of the bug doesnt seem to be limited to this app, every time there is a choice of application (opening video or picture for example) is bugged. I will google some more, or feel free to suggest where to look
It's a bug that is present in the 2.3 firmware. The work around is to turn on rotate screen in the settings menu and while your in Live Wallpaper just turn the tablet opposite from what you have it at and the list chooser will appear.
Cheers...

Hello everyone, I am hoping you all can help me with a problem I've been having that I can't seem to figure out. I am having a weird problem with my launchers on my DX. After either entering settings or undocking from my car dock, My launcher will show as blank, with no widgets, icons, or even dock bar.
The part that really gets me is that I am seeing this through multiple SBF's, data wipes, fresh app reinstalls, and multiple ROM's. It has happened on Go Launcher and Launcher Pro Plus while running Shuji (1 and 2), Liberty, and Liberty AOSP. I'm thinking something else has to be causing it but have no idea where to start... any ideas?
When it happens just scroll your finger updown on empty screen, this might help

Scrolling up and down didn't help, but I think I've isolated the problem. I found out that if I enter settings and then hit back, it makes all widgets/icons/dock disappear. If I leave settings by hitting the home button however; everything is normal. Furthermore, this only happens if I am using a live wallpaper; if I set a static wallpaper, there is no issue. So, it appears that my live wallpapers are misbehaving. Thing is, I'm not sure what to do about it. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Well it appears I've solved the problem. In case anyone else runs into it, I fixed it by grabbing the LiveWallpapersPicker.apk out of the Liberty 0.8 flashable zip (over at RootzWiki in the DX > Developer > Liberty thread) and replacing the file in my system/apps with the new one using Root Explorer. After a reboot, the problem disappeared and hasn't come back. Hope this can be of help to someone else!
I got ADW EX since it is 10 cents today and I don't know how to make it my default. My Xoom is not rooted and running 3.2.1.
After I install ADW EX and press the home key nothing happens. The screen just gets dark, going to neither launchers. I go into Applications and the option to clear defaults for both stock/ADW EX are not highlighted/doable. They are blacked out. I can only clear data on both of them. I installed Launcher Switcher and it says no default set but it won't let me pick either launcher. I then installed Home Switcher and it again said no defaults set but this time I was able to pick ADW EX as my default. BUT, even after doing that, after I press the home key it goes nowhere again, nothing happens, dark screen.
I restarted my Xoom and after boot animation the screen was black, I could only see the bottom bar where the back/home/windows and time are. Neither stock or ADW EX was launched after I restarted. I had to go into Settings, Applications and open ADW EX to get it to come up. I then uninstalled ADW EX and pressed the home key which brought up the stock launcher. Hunky dory. I reinstalled and the same problems happened.
I searched the forums and looked online but I don't know what to do. I can manually go back and forth between launchers but that's not what I want... I just want ADW EX to work when I press the home key! I suck lol. Could someone please help me? Thank you in advance!
There may be two different issues in play, but if you are stuck with the stock launcher as default, go into settings, apps, choose the stock launcher and on the bottom of the page you should be able to uncheck default. Then if you have ADW installed, you should get the dialog box to choose the default launcher. If the screen dims and does nothing, just rotate your Xoom (i.e. landscape to portrait) and the dialog box should popup.
It could be related to another App you have installed. I did a Google search and some one else had a similar problem on an Incredible 2 where they couldn't set a launcher and it turned out to be a keyboard app causing issues.
I have a similar problem too. After installing the adw launcher I can no longer open links or office documents, or execute any other commands that require a selection via a dialog box. I tried uninstalling the launcher app, but that only fixes the home button not the other things. I already tried resetting all the defaults using the several apps in the market, but that doesn't worked. any help would be greatly appreciated.
whenever I click on an internet link or try to open an office document that I downloaded the screen dims down as it would whenever a dialog box appears except no box shows up.

Enable Autorotate and rotate your Xoom when the screen dims. It's a Honeycomb bug.

thank you. It worked like a charm. I feel bad for blaming the adw launcher for this issue, I was about to leave a bad review...

I'm glad you didn't leave a bad review...I love ADW...
Ouch! If only I had read this yesterday before I wiped my Xoom and tried to reload all my launchers, only to find the problem still existed. :-(
The auto rotate worked like a charm.
Geesh.

Hey all.
Finally got the P2P today, and so far it has been a very positive experience. I'm coming from the rather old Samsung Galaxy Note 3, so its a major upgrade in terms of screen size, resolution and raw power.
There a few annoyances though, which I really hope there is a solution for.
First, on the galaxy note the left button acts as a settings menu throughout the ui. Is there something similar here? Or at least a workaround?
Second, in full screen apps I can't simply pull down the notification bar by sliding down at the top. I have to exit the app, which is so impractical i'm thinking it must be a bug?
Hope somebody knows something i don't.. thanks in advance .
Re: the menu button in the tray, that's gone on all new Android phones. Blame Google. Menu's in the app now, upper right corner, the vertical ellipsis. Means if you have an old program without a built-in menu & the developer hasn't updated it, you're screwed. Won't be able to open menu.
And the top notification area? I just tried pulling it down in 4 different apps--worked in all. Try pulling from top/off-screen to down.
Thanks for the reply.
Guess I will have to live with the settings change like everyone else.
Much worse is the lack of notification bar. I tried with apps like chrome, gmail and 9gag that displays the bar at all times. No problem there. The problem is in fullscreen apps that hides the bar. Like the camera app, games and the AR apps. Tried your advise with placing finger outside screen, no change. The problem is both in portrait and landscape mode.

Got the latest update? December brought mine to PB2-690Y_161202
Yes, got the latest update.
I'm gonna try a factory reset tonite to see if that helps.
Tried a factory reset, no change. Gonna write to Lenovo to see if a fix is coming.
What apps are you having the issue with being unable to pull down the notification tray? I play a few games on my P2P and they all run full screen and I am able to pull down the notification window in each of them.
I play Dominations and Boom Beach mainly. Also got the problem on the Tango apps that use full screen. Such as the Dino app, Holo e.t.c.
Odd fact: When the app runs a video, like the beginning of the dino app, the notification bar can be pulled down. But when it goes to the regular mode, I can't.
Assuming you haven't messed with anything in Developer settings or put an app on it that is screwing with the touchscreen, then you absolutely have a buggy phone. You need to return it.
This phone make calls over 4G VoLTE?

I tried Boom Beach, Star Warss Force Arena, and Hill Climb Racing and I cannot pull the notification tray down in any of them. This is not really a problem for me. I know I could on my last phone(Nexus 6), but it doesn't bother me that I can't now.
Hi,
after installing MIUI 12 on my Poco F2 Pro, I experience a weird problem with google chrome.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Switch off Auto Brightness (just to make sure, that the screen brightness stays constant) and manually set the brightness slider to a brighter setting and leave it there.
2. Disable Dark Mode (that's at least my setting)
3. Open chrome and go to e.g. google.com (or any other page with a bright background).
4. Wait a couple of seconds (scrolling and clicking is fine, but do not use the on-screen keyboard just for now) and observe the screen brightness. It's getting gradually dimmer and dimmer. It is not the screen time-out dimming (time-out is set to 2 min in my case).
5. Go to home screen and the screen suddenly gets brighter, i.e. it returns to it's normal brightness
6. Something similar can be achieved by opening the on-screen keyboard (google keyboard in my case) while in "chrome's dimmed state". The screen returns to it's normal brightness.
This problem seems to only exist with chrome. I googled and found a similar problem with huawei devices some years ago. But no working solution back then.
And strangely enough, I saw no post for Xiaomi or MIUI. Is it only my device or do you experience the same?
Do you have an idea what I should try in order to solve? I already did the usual stuff (delete cache/data, reinstall).
Thanks.
Nope. Does not do it for me
Thank you for trying it out. That's weird, though.
I will try ADB Fastboot Tools this weekend to delete the system app and reinstall as user app. Hope that makes a difference in my particular case.
Yes! I have the same problem. Really annoying, googled a bit for a fix but nothing worked. Ended up using Firefox browser for now. Hopefully there will be a fix in the future.
So, I deleted chrome (and some other apps and services that I do not need) via Szaki's ADB Fastboot Tools. After rebooting the phone, they were all gone, fine.
However, when I reinstall Chrome via Playstore, it reinstalls as system app (and shows the same dimming problem).
Is there any way to install Chrome as a User App (of course after deleting it via ADB Fastboot Tools)?
Closely related to screen dimming.. just a simple question: when screen dims just before the lock, can a tap be configured to just brighten the screen, and not actual tapping on something on the screen, like the button, or an option, or something that react to tapping? I just want to brighten the screen so it doesn't go off completely. Is that possible with MIUI itself, or by installing some 3rd party app, or xposed module, or whatever? Sorry for off topic. Thanks.
I have exactly the same problem, and as you stated, only with Chrome...any other app works fine. Thanks for starting this thread and trying to fix it...
I now use google chrome beta from play store. It does not show the dimming since it installs as user app. However, I would be very happy if this issue with the "original" chrome could be addressed soon by Xiaomi...
I am constantly losing the weather info from the At A Glance widget and on the lockscreen. I never lose data and it's happening on both WiFi and mobile data (twice as often on mobile). I have reset the phone to factory default and had nothing installed on the phone so it's completely stock out of the box. Turning location off and back on doesn't fix it. The only way I can get it back is to add another copy of the At A Glance widget to the home screen which immediately brings it back, then delete that widget. Rinse and repeat a day later. Is anyone else having this issue and any idea how to fix it (if that's even possible)?
Yep, I have been facing that issue with the widget too. The weather simply disappears for no reason. But I had that issue with my previous Android One device too(Nokia 7.1). So I somehow feel the issue is with the widget itself and not much to do with the device.
A quick fix for this is adding the 'at a glance' widget to a blank space on your home screen, usually it brings the weather data back for me, but this is not permanent, it will disappear again some time.
