After going from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2, cannot launch it anymore. Though still see it in settings-> app manager, any idea?
You reach it thru recent apps only now. Dont know why they did it, seams odd.
That works, thanks

Dont know if anyone else has noticed this but has happened to me a couple of times now. If I start up an app that uses gps i.e speed test then when I quit out of the app the gps symbol remains in the notification bar flashing. I dont know how to get rid of it and have to reboot my phone. Any ideas guys?
Is it possible that your app is still running in the background even after you quit? Some apps do that.May explain why gps is still running.

Hi. Yeah thats a possibility and have been thinking it through. Take for instance speed test, it has no exit key so you have to quit out of it by either clicking back or home. Maybe that is where the bug lies and its nothing to do with my nexus.
One other question I have if you could help me out is about multitasking. Say if I hit the home button when an app is running it still runs in the background. How long does it do this for with out resorting to using an task killer or similar?
Cheers

This problem is not unique to the Nexus S. I actually haven't seen it on the NS (yet), but I see it routinely on my SGS i9000.
You should be able to easily get rid of it by just turning on and off the GPS with the Power Control Widget. No need to reboot. Turning on and off Location Services in Settings screens for the phone should also do it for you.
Thanks ill try turning it off using the location settings next time it happens. I did try with the widget but when i turned it back on it returned and was still there.

From my VERY limited experience, some apps stop running as soon as you press home screen (e.g. website/forum apps), some you need to specifically exit the app (if there is an exit option), and then there are others that stay running until you force stop it. Seems like it depends on the design (or mis-design) of the app.
You can view what apps are still currently running under Manage Apps. You can also manually stop those processes there if need be.
Hope this helps.
Thanks. I've tried looking under manage apps/running apps before but the task I think the gps bug is coming from is never listed in there. Infact not a great deal gets listed in the standard gingerbread applications settings. Games that I know are still running in the background dont get listed either for some reason.
Does this happen to anyone else? I find apps missing and not even in the applications setting. I go to market and it tells me "free" meaning it's not installed. Only later on the day to find out the app has suddenly reappeared! Wtf is going on?!
Ok, so I have everything installed and running but I have some questions on features that it seems like are missing or I just can't figure them out. First some phone info, then the questions. Any help would be much appreciated.

Questions:
- I can't seem to find a way to edit my contacts. They are linked to my gmail account (and I can't store them on my phone like I could with ICS it seems) and when I click on the "People" app it shows the contacts but I don't see a way to edit them or store them on my "phone account" like in ICS.
- When I go to the "Play Store" I don't have a way to go to the apps I have installed to update them.
- IN the messaging app I don't have any way to change settings or notifications. This happens in several apps. I know I can turn notifications off completely in "app info", but how do I change other settings and notifications (like popup window for quick reply, sounds for messages, etc.)
Any suggestions?
you need to remap your keys, settings->system->hardware keys
OK, its official. I am an idiot. I figured it out about an hour or so ago. I thought I already changed it but apparently I didn't. Thanks
Has anyone else had this problem just recently? I noticed that a new app called "Google Settings" randomly appeared on my Note this morning and since then, Gmail and Youtube are no longer able to go into multiwindow mode. I tried using MW Manager to fix Gmail... but it looks really weird in fullscreen mode. There's just this huge empty space on the right side while all the content is squished on the left side, as if it's still in windowed mode. I have not tried MW Manager for Youtube, yet.
I am running on stock Jellybean 4.1.2 and I'm rooted. I have no idea what's going on, since I've only had the tablet for 2 weeks and I barely downloaded anything (just some apps like LectureNotes and Layer Paint).
Any info/suggestions is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Sorry I have no idea why your youtube isn't multi Window anymore mine still is but I did notice the Google settings app randomly appear this morning, I was changing the lock screan apps at the time when it happened don't know if that had anything to do with it?
Update: seems google has installed a useless settings app on all of our devices overnight personally I dont want or need this so I would like 5o disable it but it isnt a listed app in application manager.

So I got Magisk working on my Nexus 5 and all was well. I discovered automagisk and decided to use it. When I installed it, however, it crashes when I try to scroll through the list of apps. It's odd. I can choose to disable root for the apps on the screen, and I can enter the settings, but I cannot scroll to see the other apps without crashing it. It doesn't function for what I need (Trying to disable for Pokemon go, and I need to scroll to find it) and it's really bothering me. I have paranoid Android installed. I know it's supposed to be a stock rom, but Magisk worked, so why not automagisk? Sorry for making this so long, please let me know if you can fix this. Thanks!
How many apps do you have installed?
