Hi everyone,
I'm fully stock on my nexus 5, but I have noticed a strange bug happening within GEL. After updating some apps, icon shortcuts disappear. This has happened when I've updated the following apps:
Greader pro
Root explorer
WhatsApp
Does anyone know what's going on? I've also seen the issue on my nexus 7 with greader pro.
Anybody else experiencing the same issue?

Yes this happens to me with several apps, main one I notice is reddit news because it keeps getting updated, very annoying.
I had it happen if I joined a beta and it removed the original icon. Just have to add it again
I noticed this. Then after reboot they would reappear on a new screen.

Hi, I'm a noob and have searched the forum before creating this topic. Hope there are no duplicates.
So I was downloading the camera app for my nexus 7 by modaco and it appeared on my home screen. However, there was this kobo books app which appeared too. I did not download it. It just appeared. It was not listed in my apps drawer though. It just appeared on my home screen which I then removed from. When I when to settings>apps, it was not there too. Let me reiterate that I didn't download the app and it appeared on my home screen only and then disappeared after I removed it from the screen. I know this sounds ridiculous, but it seems like my uncle had this problem too. Is it part of some ads posted by other downloaded ad supported apps? Cause this is weird and I hope it isn't a virus or something. I had just uninstalled the camera app by doodle apps and installed the one by modaco. Is it because of the doodle apps camera app? Cause it floods me with lots of ads. This problem is weird I know. But answers would be most appreciated. Thanks.
Noob android fanatic.

Hi, I'm new in this forum and also I'm a new android user. I got this phone yesterday and it came with the 4.1.2 update, it is working fine and all, but today something strange happened, my phone freezes up while I was watching a video, it rebooted itself and then, the camera app was gone, and the gallery app also seems to have disappeared, although they both appear on the settings/apps menu. I would like to know what can I do to solve this, please as I don't understand this system well.

Are you using a custom launcher? Most custom launches have the ability to hide apps in the app drawer. Check in the launcher settings for an unhide option.

Go to the app menu where you see the apps. Touch and hold your finger on the app for a second or 2 that you want back on one of your home pages. The home pages should show up and simply drag the app where ever you want it. Move your apps around like this and you can change the apps on the bar on the bottom of the screen the same way.

Thank you for the suggestion but it didn't work out. Unfortunately, I didn't had any other choice but to factory reset my device and now I have the camera back, but thank you for the fast answer!

Ever since upgrading to 4.3 on my nexus I've noticed this glitch when viewing the "bird's eye view" of all home screens on nova launcher (Seen in picture.)
Is this due to Nova having to update their application or is there a quick fix to this problem? (I've already tried clearing cache and data, didn't work.)

I had the same problem on my Nexus 4 after upgrading to 4.3. I installed the Nova Launcher beta 2.2

and is working fine now.
Isn't just that.
Widgets are failing to update and in some cases crash or go blank. In stock launcher its fine, in Nova it isn't.
Has anyone else experienced a problem where chrome will only let you share to Facebook?
I've tried clearing the default launcher actions for both apps but still nothing.

its a sharing bug on 4.4, clear the defaults in ALL APPS list not just the downloaded apps and it should reset.
Has anyone else had this happen? I keep having apps disappearing, uninstalling themselves. I will click on an app icon only to be told that the app isn't installed. sometimes the app icon turns into the android robot icon.

Odd. What launcher? Stock?
Nova

I've not had this on this tablet, but it happened with my old Asus Slider sometimes. Two options: 1. downloaded from a less than reputable source and the tablet caught a virus. 2. apps with update failure.
Might install a freeware antivirus/malware program like AVG..
Definitely strange. l'm on Nova too and have never experienced this. Hope you get it sorted out somehow. Two things I would probably try would be to clear cache in recovery and then ensure auto backup and restore is disabled.
I only install from the play store with the exception of the xposed framework installer. But I will try some anti virus/malware and turning off backup/restore. Thanks.
