hi all,
on my Nexus5, non-rooted, android 4.4 stock, KRT16M, sometimes randomly it happens that I find a new empty homescreen page.
I'm running with 2 homescreen pages and sometimes I note they are 3 and obviously I didn't add the new third one.
anybody have this same issue?
thanks all

Yes. When you reboot, that blank page disappears. It is one of the many bugs that KitKat has. We have to remember that in a way we are beta testers. :laugh:
thanks mate for your reply: I'll try next time it will happen.
Another way to get rid of it without a reboot is to move an app / widget to the empty screen, then move it back. The page auto deletes when empty.

Well, it doesn't completely forget them, but some of them and change others.
My layout of choice is 5 homescreens, "homehome" in the middle obviously - if I reboot the phone, it warns me that "temporary files will be deleted", I assume this is normal?
However, after reboot, my normal homescreen configuration has been replaced with 7 homescreens instead, and to make matters worse, it adds the 2 on the right and in process moves the "home-home" one screen right, too, so it's the middle one again.
This means I have to first move every widget and folder manually one screen to the right, then delete the extra 2 homescreens (which are now on left & right since I manually moved everything one screen to right)
Is there any known solutions to this bug?

I've had the phone some 2-3 months, I'm not 100% sure how long this has happened since I rarely have to boot, but I think it was after the update - I rebooted just 2-3 times to test it after I first noticed it happening (can't remember why I rebooted on that time though) and it did it on every time

Hold home-button, when it shows you all your home screens, long press on one you want to remove and drag it to upper edge of the screen where there's remove button. Repeat as many times as you want.
Which Rom code you are using at the moment?

ROM code? I'm using the newest (european) stock ROM, RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258480_signed
I am using same as your one 1.78.401.2. But after I delete 2 page of home screen and restart. It will keep on 5 home page, did you install any third party app relate to the homepage?
No, as far as I know any of my apps doesn't affect homescreen.
Does it warn you about "temporary files being deleted" when you reboot?

Yes, it did pop out a window and tell me the temp file will be delete. After I reboot my home page stays in 5 page instead of 7.
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.
hello all,
It has been 2 weeks since I have update my OS to version 5(Lollipop) and in the last days i have experienced problem with apps that are installed in my phone. Once i open an app after 30s it will go away in background without any action from me. Yesterday i got an update for chrome and it made it worse, now i do have problem with keyboard it doesn't show in some cases were i do have to insert password.
Is there any solution to such problems?
best regards,

Since updating to Lollipop I've also experienced a number of issues, including laggy home screen (it's blank for a second or two before the icons start loading, whereas before it was immediate) and huge number of Chrome crashes. Anyone know if there's anything we can do, or should we expect an update from Google?

Hi,
as i was not able to get any info regarding how to solve the issue, i did Factory Reset.
at the moment problem seems to be solved, i have left not installed now only 3-4 apps which I had before when the problem started.
2 hours after the operation finish i got nearly 10 google apps aupdate, chrome was one of them. it doesn't crash any more, keaybord shows up and works.
Also menu button works perfectly, when i press it all the apps show immediately, its doesn't take like 10-15sec for the apps to show up.
I do recomand to perform factory reset.
regards,
Hi, I have recently updated my samsung galaxy s6 to android 5.1.1, since updating, my launcher, apex pro isn't showing the icons within a folder on my home screen any more, its basically a folder that contained all my game apps.
I assume the issue was apex in someway maybe not being fully compataible with 5.1.1 but im not sure?
Th odd thing is, when i open tap the game folder, even though its all blank with no icons, they do seem to be there, but just invisible, if i tap where i know apps used to be in the folder, they do actually stop open, which is odd.
I have tried deleting the folder then doing a restore in apex but the same thing happens.
Also since updating to 5.1.1 some screens have also been a little laggy and my home screen was just black at one point and just showing the notification section / time but everything else was black and wouldn't go off, i had to restart phone to get it back to normal.
Can anyone offer any help?
Thanks
James

same on mine. I just let it be.. and now it does not have any lag. it fixed itself.
Hmmm...maybe Apex Launcher is not yet fully compatible with Android 5.1.1.
I have this problem from 1 year, from the day i bought the phone til now ive installed all updates.
Using chrome, after a while, 10 minutes or 1 hour, the page look like freezed, i try to scroll or touch but nothing.

I mean that when the page freeze actually is working if i scroll or tap the page change but i need to change app and come back to see. It just appened right now
I've tried chrome beta and dev, same thing
Anybody knows about it?

I have the same problem! It's annoying as hell and I haven't found a solution. It's awesome phone otherwise but this one thing ruins the experience.
I found the solution
In chrome://flags find the "Android SurfaceControl" flag and disable it.
