Extra home screen indicator.

I didn't really know what to search to find an answer to this question, so I'm sorry if it has already been posted. I have a full stock nexus and the default launcher, sometimes I notice a little + sign where the home screen indicators are. I know it's used to add a new home screen, but I don't want it there. And when I scroll all the way to the right there's an extra blank home screen. Does anyone know if it's possible to get rid of this?
Question 2: I have a repeating alarm set every morning with the stock alarm app. I've noticed that sometimes the alarm icon in the notification bar will disappear, and only come back up if I tap on the alarm in quick settings. The alarm is still set and still goes off.
Neither of these are really issues, just nuisances, and for all I know they could be "features". But any help would be much appreciated, thank you!

for #1, just place something on the homescreen then remove the item.

Thanks! Will it still pop up anymore or do I have to do that every time?

I just noticed #2 happening on my N5 as well. I figured maybe it was because I have made some status bar changes with Xposed Framework + Gravity Box, but I guess not. Probably a bug of some sort. What's weird is I've seen it come and go randomly too when just looking at my screen. Oh well. Kind of bugs me, but not a huge deal since my alarm still goes off every morning.

I have the same problem on my Nexus 7 and Nexus 5. I guess it's more of an annoyance than a problem.

I have had this problem for a while now, usually goes away if I bring an icon over to a new page then back, or if I restart my phone.
I have since switched back to Nova as they have implemented many kit kat GEL like additions, and I used this on my nexus 4, missed a lot of the swipe features and icon packs

home screen
You restore you N5 in the company setting....
Many be Issue is the some missing file....

I've had the problem with the blank home page several times on my N5 and adding/removing an item to the page removes it. It's always a extra page to the right of the last active page.
I have a daily recurring alarm and I only see the alarm icon two hours before the set time. In the notifications I have the option to dismiss the alarm early.
I do have an issue with HD Widgets which lives on the home (first) screen. Sometimes the widget becomes embedded on the page -- I will see what appears to be overlaid images. I first noticed what appeared to be two sets of temperatures (I use the weather widget with three or five day forecast). The easiest way to correct the problem is to drag the widget to a new page at the end, delete the home page which now displays the widget as a background image, then re-order the pages. This has never occurred on my N4 or N7 which are set up similarly except that the home page is the middle page.

[Q] New page on home screen. Where did it come from?

Hello all,
I'm a relatively new OnePlus One owner and yesterday after I rebooted my phone, a new page showed up as part of my home screen pages. What was the first home screen page is now the second one and this new page took it's place.
Since I have no idea what it is, I'm attaching a screen shot for reference in hopes someone might be able to tell me. It's mostly blank with the text that says:
Get some extensions!
Looks like you don't have any installed
extensions. CM Home currently supports
DashClock extensions, so go get some and check
back here!"​
Would anyone know where this suddenly came from and more importantly, how can I get rid of it? If I had wanted it there, I would have added it myself. Don't much appreciate a phone that doesn't respect user settings.
Thanks!
Tim

Nobody knows?
There must be some way of getting rid of this thing. It seems to have shown up after I updated to 38R. It's also mentioning something about Dash Clock. But since I don't have any app named Dash Clock installed, I have no way of uninstalling it.
Tired of these apps or themes, etc that just think it's fine to modify a user's settings and add whatever they want to a phone. I take the time to setup my phone for a reason. If I had wanted something changed or added, I'm perfectly capable of determining which apps I wish to have and where I wish to place associated folders, icons, widgets, etc.
Would be very appreciate if anyone could give me some advice how to get rid of that page.
Thank you!

It is part of the trebuchet launcher from cyanogen. You must have gone into the settings and turned on the CM Home search panel. Just go back into the launcher settings and change the search panel option to "off" and it should go away.

Thanks so much for the reply. I have looked already, but see nothing obvious listed in my Settings where I can find anything related to CM Home search panel. I have also searched for any apps that might be labeled as trebuchet, launcher, CM, etc. Would you mind telling me where exactly I can find such a setting as you mentioned?
Thank you again.

It is not in the phone settings it is on the home screen. Long press down on any part of the home wallpaper not covered by an icon or widget and you should see a menu bar pop up at the bottom with 3 icons for setting wallpaper, widgets and something else. There should be an up arrow near the top of the menu bar which when pressed will take you to the launcher settings, that is where you can change the options.

[Q] Google Now Weather on Lollipop Lockscreen

Has anyone figured out how to get the Google current weather to show up as a notification on the Lollipop lockscreen? I would like to see it there on top all the time.

In google now options activate weather for your location. Then on lock screen pull down as if expanding notifications and it should pop up.
Good luck.

In Google Now, "Interested in weather updates for your location?" is set to Yes. On the lockscreen, there is nothing to pull down. The clock and date are in the center of the lockscreen and when I swip down, they just pulsate once.

Sorry bare with me. I managed to get it there but once swiped away it disappeared. Think it must have just been a notification thing. Sorry. I use beautiful widgets from play store for mine. I know its not what your after but its an alternative.

I just got it once here also. I tapped on it and it opened Google Now. Now it is gone from the lockscreen again. I guess once it is there...you can't tap it. I used Beautiful Widgets before and also DashClock but the weather was different with those since they don't use the same provider as Google Now. It was a notification that I had since Lollipop doesn't support lockscreen widgets that I know of.
How are you keeping the Beautiful Widgets on your lockscreen? Is it a notification?

Google now weather
I have also experienced the disappearing Google Now 'current weather' notification in lockscreen on both my nexus 5 devices. It showed up on the lockscreen one time after pulling down on the time but after unlocking my screen and relocking the device i have never been able to replicate the weather notification

The notification has come back on mine. If you swipe it away or reboot your phone, it seems to come back sometime within the next hour or so.

I use 1weather it's good for me

Favourites in edge panel vanish and can't update the panel

For some reason my favourites edge panel lost all its shortcuts and stopped letting me update it. If I tried after I selected some apps as pressed Done, it would go back to either a blank panel or the old shortcuts.
I tried force stopping the panel and deleting its data which reset it back to the default favourites but I still can't update it and it went blank again.
Has anyone else had this issue? If so how did you fix it add it is very annoying as I regularly use the shortcuts on the panel.

BTW this only happened since I updated my T-Mobile Edge to Lollipop

This happened to my Verizon thats still on KitKat. I have cleared the favsedgepanel in applications then reboot and i get the panel back but its at the default with no sms or gallery. Im was wondering if it has something to do with the gallery app being updated to Pictures, but since this also happened to you last month im having second thoughts. Any other ideas out there folks? Id hate to have to factory reset.

How to get current weather conditions directly on the home screen

Next to the Google search shortcut on your main home screen, my Pixel shows date and day. I see others shows weather. How to change that?

You need to go to google now and set it to keep updating you on weather conditions:
1. Swipe to the utmost right on home screen to reach google now (now called Feed, whatever...)
2. Swipe right once again to access the "hamburger" menu
3. Choose customise, then Everything else
4. Choose Yes for the following options:
Interested in weather updates for home?​Interested in weather updates for work?​Interested in weather updates for your location?​Continue to get weather updates?​
This will make the weather card visible in the Feed which will automatically make the homescreen widget display the weather info

I did all that but still doesn't show up. It worked before but since I factory reset the phone it doesn't show up any more. Any advise?

Does the weather card appear on the feed though? Ou need to make it appear on the feed first. There's a switch in the Feed settings about weather, maybe that's turned off in your phone?

I've got everything on, and it's showing in the feed, But not on my home screen

In my case, turning those options on (I had them off) instantly enabled the weather in the homescreen. Have you tried a restart after setting those options to yes?

You need to update the Pixel Launcher. I had to update it via a PC as it was not working on the play store on my phone.
Installed it on my phone through the PC and it updated the weather within seconds.

Oh yeah, good shout! I updated mine too

Update through Play store on internet, pushing it again to the pixel phone triggered the update on the pixel
Thnx all

I updated all those except for location at home & work (those just seem repetitive with "my location" marked as yes) & it showed up for me.
