[Q] Home screens duplicate or disappear when everyday reboot

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.

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,

Problem - touchscreen not working properly sometimes

Hi all,
I have this annoying problem that occurs ones a day or twice and I have to restart the phone because of it.
Sometimes for no reason in different apps when I type or even use the touchscreen I have this annoying bug that the phone presses the screen few times when I press it just ones, for example when I try to type something it presses the letter 5 times instead of ones and its practically unusable untill I restart the phone.
Any one had this problem before? Any ideas if there is a way to fix it?
I am using the stock is, with Google launcher on top bu this happened even before I used the Google launcher. All stock here and I am using the 16gb eu variant of the phone
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions

Have you try it factory reset?

No, nothing like that yet to be honest

Seems my huawei ascend mate is having same issue, Have you managed to solve the issue. Share so that I also can try..?

I don't have this problem with my HAM7, though I did previously experience it with an old Sony Xperia. Like you mentioned a reboot temporarily fixed the issue but I had to ultimately do a factory reset to rid the phone of this annoying bug.
Quick question: are you using the original charger that came with the phone? That was another thing that I noticed with my Sony. Its stock charger had died and I replaced it with a cheap third-party one found in the Chinatown of my city. This seemed to trigger this bug, and also caused screen taps to register way off compared to where I physically tapped the screen. This continued until after the factory reset, but still happened when the phone was on charge.
TLDR: Do a factory reset. If that doesn't help it'll probably be a hardware issue.
Hope this helps otherwise good luck!

Ok , listen
when this happens
go to settings , manage aps ,running apps .. then force close FB messenger .. it will be solved that's a bug in fb messenger. u will c

Lag problem

Anyone else has had lag problems ?
I don't know if It's just my phone, but for me it's unbearable, Sometimes I have to wait 10 or more seconds until the phone loads all the icons (in the main screen) .
Sometimes I tried to write a whatsapp and I've to wait again some seconds until the keyboard appears. (Even when you start to write doesn't respond, and some seconds after write all the letters the same time).
or if I try to open any app. it's the same .. I've to wait some seconds while the phone is completely frozen.
it could happens in any moment. but it's very strange because the 65% of the time the phone works fine.
I try that don't install heavy app and I don't use the phone to play any game.
I tried to change the settings (Power saving) but in any option this improves.
Anybody has any idea about what could be happening ?
I'm trying to wait until new update and I'm hoping that this improves the performance ... but I'm thinking seriously to sell the phone

the mate 7 is laggy (it's actually a software problem , not hardware, but huawei is not capable of fixing it)
for your particular problem, 10 seconds seems like a lot.
you could try toubleshooting by uninstalling apps.
but the only way to be sure is by doing a factory reset

Yes, I tried to uninstall a lot of apps, For example Facebook (Now I'm using little Facebook), and even I changed the keyboard for the default.
I don't have too much apps installed, some radios, some photo editor ... .
If I restart the phone works fine all the day, but in some hours the phone gets laggy again ...
It's a shame because I like a lot this phone, but I'm thinking to change it !
I don't know what to do because I don't know other similar phone, this is perfect for me .

My mate 7 isn't laggy at all...It's same as note 3 that I have had.

I have L09 never had any lag, everything loads fast, with 0.5 animation speed phone this phone fly.I have it for 1 year and 2 months , not a new user

I think the upcoming marshmallow update will reborn this device again and solve the lag problems.
Until then I really recommend changing to the Google now launcher. It makes a very big difference indeed. I have tried most launchers but I have recently concluded that Google now launcher is best. Set fastest animation speed in developer options as well.
You set Google launcher as default launcher under manage apps under default apps

Thanks a lot , I'll try it !
I don't know if I'll have enough patience to wait until next version.
If I see a good offer before I think that I won't doubt.

Mate7 L09 331 b lollipop root with twrp no bloatware, Nova launcher prime and changes of governor an inteligent mode ondemand... and normal mode with performance governor my Mate is a super rocket!!
El meu anglés es desastrós jajaja
Quelcom m'ho dius per missatge privat... serà millor!!

Finally, I lost my patience besides when I saw this offer.
I hope to receive my new phone and forget this forever.
It's a shame because it has a good hardware, good battery and screen.

I know op may not be interested anymore but if you use twrp to fix permissions this boosts your phones speed a great amount

Can you explain this in more detail?
Best regards!

Yes, can anyone explain this? I had a look and saw the option there. Doing a TWRP backup so I can test it, although on B331 the phone runs nice anyway.
The problem with performance on Kitkat seems mostly to do with the Kernel and how the two processors are controlled.
Edit:
Did some Googling, DO NOT use TWRP to "fix permissions" as it doesn't necessarily fix them, it can brick your OS!

It will brick your phone if you fix selinux permissions but as long as you don't check that you'll be fine
I fix the permissions everytime I restore a back up and I have done boot comparisons and there's a difference
If you do wanna try it you have to go into twrp recovery->advanced->fix permissions make sure selinux is unchecked (it should be by default)
And proceed to fix permissions

I know that it doesn't have relation but since I left to use hangouts the phones started to work better without any kind of lag...

Nougat OTA update Available 28/3/2017

Its arrived at last , and before April too ..

Can confirm, this is Nougat (7.0) with the security patch of 1st February.
I'll try to find some big differences on the settings..
Oh, and before I forget. Welcome everyone, I just got this phone yesterday. Switching from a Zenfone 2, I hope I'll get a good battery life like almost everyone, and try to participate as most as possible.
EDIT : Which topic we should use? This one or https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/development/p2a42s23217030row-t3580293
Gmail is 100% crashing on my side
EDIT 2 : I received a mail and it didn't crash anymore. Weird

I'm not sure I can recommend anyone upgrading to this yet....my phone has become very laggy and stuttering in different apps....it got better after I cleared the cache and a soft reset, but I guess it will be a few bug-fixes in the near future. I know that maybe a factory reset will be the solution, but I haven't got the time at the moment...

Which ROM variant were people on to get this ota update? I'm on UK three and there is no sign of it. Could be that three have to mess with the rom first, or a staggered roll out.
Build: P2a42_S056_161130_UK
Edit, ok attached screen shows s062. Rest of world.
Is there an easy safe way to swap from three to generic ROW ROM? Don't want to root or lose warranty.

Looks like after the update quickcharging has stopped working

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70965471&postcount=8 don't know if this void warranty, its factory image firmware but they will see that you phone was on three network and now have ROW firmware, ask at you mobile network provider

Will Row have different modem etc. So potentially different performance or will it be identical minus 3 bloatware. I'm always reluctant to install ROMs not available direct from manufacturer from online because of risk of malware... Is this link a trusted source?

the Update is great, after factory reset...

All looking good here and battery only dropped 4% so far with 1 hour SOT
my phone is the 3 UK version . I flashed over to S048 then upgraded to S062 . Installed TWRP and tried a few custom ROMS but went back to stock ROM to see if i could get Nougat update and I did . Havent looked to see if minor bugs are fixed yet but youtube sync seems to be fine .

The noise cancellation system is not so aggressive in loud environment

Still can't use LED notification from third party application in Nougat...

i expected Launcher, Camera app , themes support UPGRADES
they just upgraded from 6.0.1 to 7.0 , by leaving the apps as it is , its a kind of disappointment , they might have at least included a BETTER launcher,
Hope they upgrade their APPS also to next level, mainly that CAMERA

Many apps are force closing. Any ideas to fix these issues? Thanks!

There is a second launcher hidden called VIBEUI . long press on screen and you get to select wallpaper , widgets , preference or settings from the menu at bottom of screen . press preference and that takes you to homescreen settings . press default launcher and you can choose between VIBEUI or android ( stock launcher ) . Although vibeui seems very limited

I cleared the cache, and restarted the phone, after that I had no problems anymore.

the battery drain is faster than marshmallow in 6h i loose 14% usually i loose 6-7% ...

Has anyone noticed the 'nightmode' now totally sucks? In 6.0.1 it doesn't distort the colour just significantly dims screen. In 7.0 it doesn't dim at all, just changes to a sepia tone!! Why did they change that function! YouTube audio sync appears fixed and the os feels smooth and snappy.
Few annoying quirks like once quick draw is open some items don't switch on/off with single press.

DPI change option are available in Developer options...??

Yeah, I noticed. I downloaded the "Night mode for Lenovo" app from the play store, but it's kind of lame to have to rely on an app for functionality that was baked in 6.0.1.

Yeah feel annoyed as other than this functionality, everything else is either better or simply different. Oh well... EDIT found a great work around. It remembers the brightness level in two states, with auto and without auto. I will just set the brightness to lowest with auto off and then disabling auto, will give me my 'night' mode.
