So I got the T-mobile US One S yesterday, and I noticed that every now and then, I get weird graphical glitches, be it on home screen or in the app drawer. Anyone else has this problem?
I attached one of the app drawer, the bar under the status bar is glitched.
First reboot if you haven't done it yet. If that doesn't work try factory reset. A quick reboot solves most weird problems

I tried rebooting and factory reset. The problems still pop up for some reason. There are also times when I hit the "Home" button, where the phone begins to spazz, gets a glitchy screen, only a restart fixes that one
Well, you can probably declair it dead on arrival and get a new phone. Go to the store and show them. Unlucky :/
I had the same issue with the t-mobile stock ROM. When I would close the app drawer, there would still be an outline of the drawer shown. If I switched between homescreens, it would go away. I haven't had this problem since using other ROMs. So it might not be the phone itself.
Even if flashing a different ROM would fix it, I would expect the stock device to work since I haven't done any rooting/modding on it at all.

I just found this forum and am hoping to find some help. I just switched from an iPhone to the Inspire and so far am loving it except for one small issue. Some of the apps I downloaded will have the icon reset from the one installed to the stock android app icon. This only seems to happen when they are in folders. I can reset them by going into the app menu and dragging the original back into the folder and then deleting the one that was set to stock. It's not a deal breaker problem but it is irritating. I check the forums for a solution and couldn't find one. Anyone have any ideas? Oh, this is on a stock phone, no root or hacks have been tried. Thanks in advance
I had this same problem (icons resetting to stock green and white android icons, but only when they are in folders) after doing a battery pull. And it seems like there has to be a way to restore the "app-specific" icons without having to re-drag them to folders etc. Interested to see if there is a more efficient solution.
Mine seems to do it after I unplug it from being mounted to my comp or sometimes after a reboot. I also hope for a quicker solution.
I have one other thing I think is odd. On all of the pictures I see of other peoples Inspire home screen the App/Phone/Personalize dock is radiused. Mine is very square. Is this normal or is mine just odd?
Nobody else has this problem or any information?
I have had this problem after installing/deleting apps. I just long press the power key and hit restart and that seems to fix it.

I found that choosing a different skin also brings back the icons. This isn't a serious problem but it is irritating. Anyone know why this happens?
Ive had this happen on my dell when using launcher pro when i had the apps hidden in the app draw. I had to open prefs in launcher pro and restart launcher pro to get them fixed, after every reboot or updated apps it seemed to happen
I've got a stock evo shift with the most recent OTA update (Android 2.3.3 Sense 2.1 Software number 2.76.651) and my Sense has been restarting ALL THE TIME. I'll be using an app, hit the home button or the back button to get to my home screen, and it'll show a white screen with the green HTC then show my home screen with a loading message for 5-10 seconds. This only started happening after updating and it's starting to get pretty annoying. Anyone else have this problem/know of a solution for it? I've tried reboots and it usually seems to make it happen less for a little while but it always starts to happen again.
Since you said Stock. Does that mean unrooted? It is a known issue on Stock Gingerbread. The Memory settings are to agressive. You can try AutoKiller Memory Optimizer to change the settings. But it will only help so much.

yup, unrooted unfortunately. waitin for the root to come out. that's pretty stupid that HTC/sprint would put that out without fixing it. devs these days

I had the same problem - got to where almost every time I switched back to the home screen from doing anything, it would have to reload. I tried disabling fast boot and it didn't do anything for me. I did a factory reset, re-downloaded the apps I wanted to keep, and that seemed to fix the problem. Very rarely happens anymore, only seems to occur when I am in the browser for a long time or playing a game for a while. Hope this helps.
I'm rooted, on the stock rom, and sense would re-load. I use Launcher Pro now, and while I still get a few reloads, the launcher refreshes much quicker than sense, and it does have widgets similar to Sense. I had paid for LP Pro last year, with my Evo, so I figure I'd use my paid app.

Hi guys!
I´ve just updated my TF101 to ICS and it´s really fast. But I have a problem with the laucher. Some times, when touch the home button to go to the homescreen, the laucher and all the icons desappear.
I can´t go to the apps that are open (with the multi-task button) but the launcher doesn´t appear.
The only solution I know is shuting down the Tf101 or closing the laucher app, but it is quite boring to do ir every 5 or 10 min.
Does it happen to anyone here?
Happens to me as well.

Same here... needs re-boot to recover...
I only had that if the option to kill tasks as u exit them was checked on. Its under developer options towards the bottom.
Edit: actually that's only the case on my phone. I have the option checked on my tablet and it works just fine.

Ok thanks for all I´ll re-boot it, but will I lose all my apps? I´ve never done a hard reset.
Everything that wasn't stock on the tablet will have to be reinstalled.

same here but may be able to narrow it down.
I am having the same problem. The whole screen just displays the wallpaper and removes any icons or buttons. So I can pan sideways and can sometime know what I am clicking on by memory but all icons go until I reboot.
weird thing is.... I have done a factory reset. reloaded my apps and settings. Its all working fine until I pop the Gmail and Calendar widgets on the screen, then boom. Gone again.
At the moment I am running without any widgets and I have not had a repeat. Do any of you clever clogs have any ideas on this one. Seems to be a small percentage of users with the issue.
Same...
I had the same problem however it seems to have stopped now. Perhaps as a result of my app purge that i did the other day.
Anyway for those still having this problem i suggest you use the notification bar to access the settings then from there you can go to the Launcher under apps and do a force close. after a bit it will reopen again with all screen icons and widgets back.
Guys I think this is the same issue, it happens on my tf.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519943
yep
Happens to me too,
I managed to fix it the latest time without rebooting, by going into settings, running apps and stopping the launcher and anything google. Next time this happen I will make a note of which killed process gives me my app icons back.
also its strange that even with the app icons gone, you can still click around the screen and open things, as if they were there.
same ...
same problem on my tf101
I fixed this by clearing the data for the Launcher in settings. Hasn't happened since but annoying as it meant rebuilding my homescreens :-(

you should try Nova Launcher, it looks and acts like the default launcher in ICS. But with a couple functions added. I havent had any troubles with it.
Just search it in the market. to get the widgets to work just move it to /system/app
I installed ICS on mine at the weekend. For a couple of days it reasonably stable, though certain apps lagged somewhat. Then it got much, much worse. There's a recurrent problem with the launcher. If you've gone away from it, such as to use an app, and then return, firstly the widgets and stacked/grouped app icons vanish, then all the rest of the icons vanish, and the three squares on the top right of the screen. The icons are still there, as it's possible to stab on the screen in the right place and launch the app that the invisible icon links to. All five screens of the launcher have vanished. The tablet still runs, as the live wallpaper still runs, and the recent apps are accessible.
Other problems include major freezes or lags. It's common to go to launch email or the web browser only to have to wait 20 seconds or so before anything happens. I've had to wait 5 minutes before now for Opera to launch. Eventually the tablet will freeze and I have to reboot it, but even then, apps take an age to launch, and regularly freeze. It's getting to the point of being totally unusable. It's taken many, many attempts to write this email as the app crashes of its own accord, and perish the thought that I copy and paste any text in, including the email address - it's enough to crash the email app.
My TF101 ran Android 3.2 perfectly fine, and very, very quickly. It was gloriously stable. I can't get more than 2 hours of use out of this without having to reboot; this afternoon I've been having to reboot every 10 minutes.
I've drawn Asus' attention to these problems via Twitter and Google+, and I know they've been told about it on Facebook, but there's been a wall of silence.

I had the problem with a disappearing launcher on ICS on 4 different launchers. Recently I removed a few widgets (NewsRepublic, Bacon Reader, and DroidWidget) and haven't had the problem reoccur. Maybe some widget incompatibility is to blame?

Could be. Mine's more stable (touch wood) since I got rid of both Beautiful Widgets widgets off my home screen.
Guys I´ve finally done a hard reset on my tf and all goes fine.
Thanks for all
Same problem here with the stock ICS launcher. Using ADW Launcher EX without problems.
Some apps seems to be running super fast at times and then others super slow at times with ICS. Guess I'll do a Titanium backup and factory reset and see if that helps. ugh...
I have been using the phone for 2 days and now all of a sudden the lock screen theme with the notifications (Productivity Theme) is not working correctly. The notifications start flickering on the screen and you can not scroll through them. I have tried to reset the phone, increase the brightness and even do a factory reset but it did not fix the problem.
Anyone else experiencing this on their phone? I am not seeing any other flickering issues.
I am actually using the One S but figured its probably a sense thing so i am posting in here.
Thanks!

We haven't the faintest idea try running an RUU and consulting the One S forum.
Im just going to throw this over to the One S forums...
Only for information, i have the same problem in combination with a crashing homescreen when I use the date-overview-widget.
And it seems that we are not alone.
I have an One X and just started having the same issue as well.
Well... I am using the lockscreen wich is more or less empty but once in a while it switches over to the weather-lockscreen on it's own. After a while I can get it to go back to the one I want to use.
I would call that a bug (non intrusive or otherwise non fatal mind you)
Using the stock launcher, this problem/feature just started popping up recently. I couldn't find any discussion on if this was part of the newer Google Search / GEL updates.
On the homescreen indicator that separates the dock, I now have a plus sign on the far right, which makes the regular indicating dots off center. Swiping left is Google Now like always, but now swiping right after the rightmost homescreen leads to a blank homescreen (screenshots attached). It used to just be that trying to swipe right on the rightmost homescreen would do nothing. How do I go back to this original function?
I'm using Cataclysm Rom [Nov 15] and franco.Kernel r14. I've searched through those threads for more information about this blank homescreen, but no luck. I've also dug through the Cataclysm Settings to see if I've ticked any options, but I can't find anything. I don't have the franco.Kernel app so I don't know if this might be a kernel setting, but again, I couldn't find anything in the franco.Kernel thread.
Thanks for any help!
Move an icon over there and move it back. That fixed it when mine did it.

Thanks, that temporarily got rid of it, but after a reboot, the plus sign and the blank homescreen came back.
Maybe it's just part of GEL now? Haven't found any discussions about it though :/
I too have this, it drives me absolutely nuts! It shows up after reboots and random times! No fix besides putting app there and deleting
It has happened to me twice so far. Can't figure out what it is.

Only had the problem once and this solved it.
Having the same issue, appears randomly and I have to either restart the phone or use the app move/unmove trick to get rid of it.
I haven't found a correlation to any thing in particular or any app but I'd like to know what's causing this..
I have experienced this as well. I just reboot the phone and it goes away. Pretty minor bug but yea i imagine it will get fixed in the next update.
