[Q] Home screens duplicate or disappear when everyday reboot - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i searched all over the internet.But i couldn't find anything related to this issue.Everytime i reboot my device in the morning,if i have 2 home screens , definitely one would be duplicated or one would be erased.I should say that duplicated screen or disappeared screen doesn't come back to its original position until i rearrange those screens.I'm on stock 4.4 Kitkat.I haven't root or did anything to the device.I don't know what causes this bug.Anybody have this same issue?I would appreciate any help.Thank you.

So no one encountered that kind of bug?

update to the latest 4.4.1 came out a couple days ago and see if that fixes the problem.
Are you running a beta of any launchers or just running the stock one?
Never had this issue when I was on stock 4.4.
let us know

Sorry, i expressed myself wrongly.I don't reboot every morning,just boot my phone after overnight charge.

Guys, I have the same problem. About twice a week I am losing one of my 4 home screens.
It always happens after a reboot of the N5. Always the 4th one is gone, and it doesn't come back if I do another reboot.
It's not at every reboot, but surely annoying, since the whole screen is gone.
Haven't had the problem with 4.4, started with 4.4.2.
And pls, no questions, why I reboot my device, this doesn't help to this topic.

Hi,
I am the one who started the tread.The bug is gone after the 4.4.2 update.Hope you find a way to fix that.

Wrong, if you're rebooting cause you're having an issue it could be related to the problem of losing your screens. More information is always better and if you provide incomplete information then people will ask questions.
Please don't ask for help and then act like you're above the people trying to help. Thank you.

There is another bug regarding this and is it related to GEL where some people are ending up with an extra home screen and have to hold an icon and release to get rid of it. I am pretty sure it is related.

Every night, I turn my phone off. In the morning it will be turned on again
No technical reason.
It's a strange bug, never had this with other versions of Android / phones.

Hi,
I have all the same problem about the disappearing additional home screens: it appens randomly(apparently) when ,at the moring, I turn on my Nexus 5.
(last standard firmware 4.4.2 on,GEL Launcher and Google Now disable).
I found this other strange thing: when i found disappearead additional home screens, if I had new home screens with only app in each, when I reboot, SOMETIMES, i found the old disappeared home screens(whit the preovious app icons in them)
I thought it was a problem of "Clean Master" "Delete Junk Files" operation but I cant reproduce the problem everytime.
Anyone have hints about this problem?
thanks
PS: Happy New Year!!

It's the same for me. Today I turned on the phone and the last home screen was disappeared. No way to recover it. I'm thinking to install an alternative launcher.

[Q] Nexus 5 keeps waking up when phone is covered

Hi, my Nexus 5 recently started having this issue where the proximity sensor constantly wakes my phone up. I recently flashed the factory images and the only apps I have that should wake the screen are not actually causing the issue, as far as I can tell.
For example, if I put my phone in my pocket, the screen turns on. If I hold my phone at the top, like when sliding it off a table, the screen turns on. It's bugging the hell out of me and unfortunately, all wakelock apps don't seem to work on KitKat.
Has anyone else had this issue and if you have, have you fixed it yet? If so, how?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Just two things to participate:
1. BetterBatteryStats works on KitKat. There was a beta version but now you can find the public version.
2. Just to be sure try to wipe your user data and try again. You never know...

I switched back to Dalvik and it seems the bug is gone. Now I need to find out which app it was that was causing the issue.

[Q] Bugs on Android 4.4.2 KitKat on my Moto G

Hello
I found many bugs in my Moto G Android Kitkat , and I wonder if this is a problem of Android or if my phone is having trouble manufacturing , I updated 2 days ago and have had problems in the transitions of the keyboard or spinning when they are not serious but I doubt that .
30 minutes ago if I had a serious problem with the interface, all the icons have gone blank and it was impossible to use , I had to restart my phone so that it can return to normal , I have taken a screenshot because that has alarmed me much happened when downloading an app from the store play enclose your image so they can appreciate.
All bugs I've found so far were generally graphics, transitions keyboard when was returning to the home , etc. .
Errors in operation for now none .
We do not probe reinstalling and I have not unlocked your bootloader , nothing, only actualize the Android , just took 4 days with the phone!
This is the new Kitkat bugs ?
Anyone have a problem like this?
Please can anyone help me with a tips ?
the only bugs i encountered is the same with u,but the icon is there but the description or title is blank like yours.

Got 2 moto g. None of them ever had that neither on kk nor on jb.
Faulty unit or software installation. Try to factory reset, if that doesn't help I would send it back if you do not want to try it for yourself (unlocking, flashing old firmware, flashing new firmware etc...)

I never had this blank icon screen issue so far and have the phone for 6 weeks now. I`am using Nova Launcher Prime with various icon packs.
Glad it's fixed and I hope the problem doesn't return. Otherwise return the device
same with me,too.
don't know why.
This may tie into your post, ive had the phone for maybe 3 weeks. I have weird transition stutter happening. I dont think i noticed it before kitkat. But I took the kitkat update, and then after that the phone does it whenever. Inside apps or home screen, txt messaging whatever. Once it finishes the stutter the phone is fine. Since ive been seeing this more and more, I went ahead and reset the phone and started over, thinking it may be from an app or so. But even right after a reset it will still do it. Also what ive noticed after the kitkat update was a volume problem. I usually would just put the phone on speaker phone right after i dial someone and the speaker volume was real low. Even though you press volume up and the volume is already set to max. It still sounds low. What i would have to do is click the volume button down Once, then back up to high to have the volume go actually high. This happens on speaker or not. If this all makes sense, any help? I see you say you reflashed the phone again, was that reflashed to kitkat? if so how would i do that if I already took the kitkat update. Any help, Thanks.

The only issue after upadting to kitkat is I lost all the saved data on temple run 2. I was on ninth level and had to start from scratch. This is my first android phone and first upgrade ( obviously ) but I suppose this doesn't happen or shouldn't happen with everyone.

Do you post your found bugs also on Motorola forum?
I am just asking, because complaining here at XDA would not solve these.

I think this is the according thread in the Motorola Forum
Wait you are the same Nicole as in the Motorola Forum?
So Motorola is also reading here ^^ ? :good:
Not really wondering....but somehow yes.
Feels so to be observed by Motorola........and they are reading how ppl are abusing their device
Hehe people can do whatever they want with their device, I'm not judging
Motorola decided to up their social media presence to gather feedback about bugs and issues this way and I occasionally ask to do troubleshooting steps and to provide logs on unmodified devices. It really helps - little bugs got fixed which otherwise might not have been noted and sometimes design changes are implemented as well.
I'll try my best to keep up with XDA but it's quite lively. If you think you found a bug feel free to send me a message to draw my attention to the according thread.
Cheers,
Nicole
So Nicole, i would like to use this opportunity for a request.
It is not about a bug but a, i think basic, feature.
I am verry happy with this device.
But i was truly disappointed when i realized that i had to download a third party app to share a contact via SMS.
That is the way Motorola is going though. If the stock ROM doesn't provide it you need an app for it. Motorola will change clearly annoying or broken stuff, but not too much else - updates are faster this way and that is what most people are looking for nowadays.
The LED light not flashing after a missed call is a good example: It's not flashing by design because the stock ROM does not provide this since ca 2008 or so I have been told
But it annoyed enough users so Motorola decided to change it.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Nicole
Anybody had any networking errors/drops
I Recently bought a XT1033 and it was working very fine with the Jelly Bean 4.3 OS .. but after upgrading to KitKat (4.4.2) I face network problems frequently. Network automatically drops... returns after a reboot/ toggling airplane mode. The symbol it shows on the top is a RED TRIANGLE WITH A CROSS ( + ) IN IT... Did anyone of you face any problems..like what I'm facing... Please suggest a solution/workaround if possible

I never had first your 3 bugs... Try a clean restore.
For the fourth one, I had this when I had the animations set to 0 in developer options.
After setting them to 0.5x the problem was gone.

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,

How can I stop my Note Pro (SM-P900) from freezing and random rebooting?

I purchased a refurbished (wifi only) model. The problem occurred from day .
The system will freeze after about 5 minutes and sometimes simply reboots, even when it's not being used.
I have done a factory reset and booted to safe mode but problem persists.
I think it is a hardware issue, but what should I look for or tell a repair tech?
I have the exact same problem. Anyone have any further information?

Read the threat " Flickering Screen" but only a last few pages as previous pages have no helpful information with many guessing solutions.
@Beut, could you please give a link to the thread "Flickering Screen"?
In various other threads people are refered to that thread, but neither by googling nor by searching the forum I could find it.
Thanks in advance!

Boy, this thread got sidetracked quickly. Mostly because you asked a REALLY IMPORTANT question. Once it got sidetracked, no one came back to address your original concern.
So here is what I know.
1. If your system becomes unresponsive - meaning any icon you tap on nothing happens, even when pressing the big button in the bottom center - tap the power button. It shuts the sceen off. Then hit the oval button, unlock the screen. It should work.
2. The random reboots probably means something has been changed or knox has been tripped. Possibly the device may have been rooted/unrooted once. It probably is a google thing. I personally HATE google+. Try to clear the davlik cache. It is located in /data/dalvik-cache - in the root area, if using Total Commander. You have to have root. Delete everything in this directory then do an immediate restart. On restart, android will rebuild each caching file for each current app, it may take a minute or two, but there will be a progress message all along.
Try those things
Do any of you guys have the Verizon or the SIM card LTE version?
If that is a YES, believe that I can help you.
(Regarding OP's WiFi model, I think that one needs to be replaced or returned)

Keyboard "freeze" following 6.0.1 update

Hi everyone,
My phone updated to Android 6.0.1 a couple of weeks ago, as the update rolled out.
Since then, I've been experiencing some sort of keyboard "freeze" while I type. The keyboard doesn't lag, it just stops taking in the strokes after having pressed a few letters. I have to stop typing for a fraction of a second and when I start again, it does take in the keystrokes (until it "freezes" again). I have uploaded a 20-second video to show exactly what the problem is, as it is hard to describe in details: youtu.be/5JI-Zsji85E (I cannot embed it as I am new to the forums)
This is annoying as I cannot type quickly, I periodically have to stop while I type.
I have a Onetouch Idol 3, 4.7 inches
Model number is 6039S
Android version 6.0.1
Build number 1BGD-UED2
I have already tried the following but none of these would work:
- Reset to factory settings
- Change keyboard (I use Swype but the same did happen through the stock keyboard)
- Turn off all animations
Any idea what the problem might be?
Used to love my Idol 3 until that update, any help would be appreciated!
I am in the same boat. I thought I was going crazy until I saw your post. Does your double tap the screen to turn it on also not work as expected? Just today I downloaded the Mobile Upgrade Q program and completely reloaded my phone. I'll let you know how things go.

I just realized it isn't only the keyboard, it seems to be the whole screen that stops working. As if the connection between the screen and the hardware got lost for a fraction of a second and then got back.
However, it can't be a hardware problem as it it intermitent: sometimes the phone will work fine for half a day and then the problem comes back for a few hours.
I never use the double tap screen to turn on so I wouldn't know :/ .
I'll be waiting to know if the Mobile Upgrade Q program worked for you!
have you made a factory reset after update to 6.0.1?

Yep I have, it didn't change a thing, which is why I tend to believe that the bug is due to the android version itself.
Yes, this is also my experience. My advice would be to stay the heck away from this update for now.
