Does anyone else have this issue? It is making me nuts to have to keep deleting a folder and re-populating it to get the icons to look right. I would upload a screen shot, but it keeps telling me it's the wrong format.

YESSSSS....it happened to mine in the first couple days now it seems to have stopped...but it did happen...and since I use folder on my home screen , they would magically reappear inside the folders....when i didnt know that was happening ...I kept just trying to to add the disappearing icon several times...for then to find multiple copies inside my folders. WOW.
It was a launcher pro issue. I just restarted it from preferences and back to normal.

FWIW this happened to me on both my Nexus One and this phone if I put a folder in the bottom right or left of the main home screen the corresponding corners in the other screens would be unable to take an icon dragged and dropped from the drawer. The icon would instead appear in the folders on the main screen. Stock launcher. Unrooted on both phones. Because it happened on both I assume a bug in android stock launcher in both 2.2 and 2.3.

This is driving me nuts.....When taking an app icon from my app folder and placing it on a place of my screens that I jsut removed an icon from it goes into "dead space" and I can not long put an app icon in that location. A few days later I will notice all that I have tried to move to that location are in some random folder. So now I have about 3-4 spaces where i would like to put some apps that I use but cannot not use that space any more.........It just started when i flashed the latest version of EB
Phone:
G2X - Easleblood 2.0 - Faux DS4.7 kernel.....
I picked up a Nexus S from the CPW a couple of days ago. I instantly upgraded it from 2.3.1 to 2.3.6 to compare it against my Galaxy S for speed (the difference is amazing - just goes to show how bad RFS actually is).
Everything installed OK except a couple of apps:
Facebook: App opens and requests login details. Enter details and get a little progress circle that starts at 12 o'clock and works it's way round, back to 12 o'clock. The screen changes to have the blue bar across the top and a white page with progress circle. It then sits there for ever more! Adding a widget to the launcher works as expected (and displays the news feed) but when clicked on, goes to the same blank page.
eBay: App opens. I sign in and it successfully displays the number of saved searches, reminders and messages. I can click on saved searches, it will display the list of searches, select a search and it'll display the list of items. Click on an item and it will display the item view. Click on the description and it'll go to a blank white page with 'item description at the top'! Occasionally it will display the description but most of the time it won't!
I've tried closing the apps and deleting to cache to no avail.
I've also upgraded the phone to 4.0.3 but that also results in exactly the same problems!
This has all been done using a WiFi connection (that works fine with the Galaxy S on stock 2.3.5), in aeroplane mode as the temporary SIM I've installed doesn't have data enabled. The same problems also happen when no SIM is installed.
All other apps function correctly.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks in advance.
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.

I am using LRX21O in my nexus 5. Has anyone noticed some apps opening up while swiping on the main home screen. It doesn't happen all the time. And also While I try to open google search through swiping up some app gets opened up.
All,
First time poster, frequent visitor of XDA Forums. I've come across an odd issue that I don't know how to solve and I'm hoping some of you smarter than me folks can get me squared away.
I have a Galaxy S8+ from AT&T running Android 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1.
Problem:
I've recently noticed a delay or completely non-updating interface on my phone. It updates on occasion, but I can't determine what triggers an update. For example, I will pick up my phone from the desk and when I press the power button it shows the accurate time. When I unlock the device, the sense flip clock I use on the main home screen shows an earlier time (could be 30 minutes... could be a few hours). I don't believe it's just the Sense app because I noticed this issue where I checked a facebook messenger app that came and and when I closed the app, it still showed I had 1 notification. I went back in thinking I had another new message, but I didn't. So it was still hanging on to the notification. It happened a couple times with a text message as well. Most importantly, my calendar doesn't alert me prior to an appointment either, even though it's showing in my calendar and an alert is active. If I save an event, and exit, I can normally see the event appear on the on widget immediately as well... but that hasn't been happening. I have to press the widget to open it and confirm it is there (which it always is). Eventually it refreshes and shows up. But that delay is likely the reason why I'm not getting my alerts.
All of this did seem to happen after a recent update Samsung/AT&T pushed out but I don't know for sure. I tried clearing the cache from the boot menu but it doesn't seem there is wide success with that.
And perhaps I'm just not a good enough user, but everything isn't all backed up in the cloud so doing the factory reset to me is always a fairly large task as I have many things to manually transfer out and then back in. Not sure if there are great tools that help with this on a stock phone.
Samsung smart switch works wonders, the only thing that doesn't restore is passwords, you have to have and external SD card for it to work, or plug it in to a computer

Go to settings and check if your time is setup to adjust automatically.

That is not the issue. As mentioned, it's not just the clock it's multiple interfaces.

High level overview of issues...
I have the Ring Doorbell app. I get notifications after "live". Could be 5 minutes, could be 1 hour... or possibly not at all. I have the app setup on my wife's iPhone and she gets them immediately. If I restart the phone, I will get notified right away (it's like it runs the app again and then I get the notification). Keep in mind, this is AFTER i disabled the battery optimization feature for the Ring app.
I also notice it occasionally with texting. I won't have any text notification in the notification panel, nor will my messaging icon have a little red circle indicating a message is there. But if I open the app, a specification conversation will have a red circle indicating a new text is unread.
All of this is leading me to believe the Samsung UI itself is not updating and therefore notifications that actually have arrived (from whatever app), are not displaying because of the UI and not because of their own delay.
Because of this concern I have turned off battery optimization for "System UI", "Themes", and "TouchWiz Home". I have not seen any change however.
[Solved]
I was able to determine by various other threads around the web (thought for sure I'd find it here, but I didn't) that the culprit might be the Google app. Supposedly it was fixed in some prior release, but it's not on my Galaxy S8+ w/ AT&T.
Once I disabled the Google app all the odd issues with notifications and clock interfaces and app icons not updating went away. The downside to disabling it is that I lose the Google Assistant functionality which stinks but otherwise there is no impact to using the phone. I re-enabled it at a later date and it worked fine for a few days and then started acting up again. Once I disabled it, the problems all disappeared. Clearly Google app is to blame.
