I am on Stock CM11S 38R + Franco Kernel r31. I am having weird issues related to only two settings.
Tap and Pay: 'Google wallet' preference disappears from the Tap and Pay settings. If I uninstall and reinstall the wallet app, setup tap and pay, it shows up in Settings->Tap and Pay. But after a while disappears.
Notification access: I am trying to set the 'Pushbullet' notification access. But this too suffers from the same issue as Tap and Pay. If I install the pushbullet fresh, it shows up fine in Settings->Security->Notification Access. But this too disappears after a while.
Can someone help? Except for these two quirks the phone is an absolute joy.
seems like the settings data storage is corrupted... if you don't want to factory reset, you may try clearing data of settings and settings storage and reboot...

Ok, so recently I've noticed that my chrome browser for android on my new OPO seems to think that Wikipedia is installed when it's not. It's never been installed on my OPO, and it's not installed on any of my other android devices (Nexus 7 and SGSII), although the problem appears on those devices too. I'm not sure if it happened before I got the OPO, but it may have and I just didn't notice.
So I click on a link for Wikipedia and instead of opening the app, it just redirects me to the play store to install it. It's very annoying. The same thing appears to happen with IMDB (same situation - no app installed, never has been) ...
Any thoughts on how to fix?
Thanks!
Settings -> Apps -> All (Swipe right) -> Launch by default, clear defaults. See if the problem still happens. If it does, try downloading https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta and see if the problems still occurs.

Ok, not seeing the "launch by default" I tried resetting all app preferences (and was asked whether I wanted to use trebuchet or nova launcher when I pushed the home button, suggesting it cleared that preference at least). Still no dice.
Problem also displays on Chrome Beta
Android Lollipop 5.0 Stock Factory Image: "Couldn't add widget" on recent apps list
I just installed the Android Lollipop 5.0 factory image on my Nexus 5, thenrooted, and I'm getting a gray box on top of my recent apps list, I guess where the search bar should be, with the error message "Couldn't add widget". Reboot didn't fix the issue. Anyone have any ideas?
You've deleted Google search app
Sent from my Android 5.0 Nexus 5
That's not it because the search bar is there on my home screen. I should also mention that I rooted...
Weird, mine shows and I'm rooted and have removed a load of system apps. Have you removed system apps? If so which?
Sent from my Android 5.0 Nexus 5
I removed no system apps. But I logged in as guest and the search bar is correctly there. So it must be something corrupted for my user..
I have this too. I didn't remove anything, but I am rooted. Dunno if it had that before rooting.
Edit: This worked fine on the last preview and I don't think I did anything different this time. I did a new install (full wipe), rooted (Cf auto root) and restored stuff with Titanium (no system stuff other than text messages). I DID choose to restore my setting and such from Google this time when I logged in the first time. I think that might be the only difference.
Edit #500: Ok, it is working now. Not sure what I did exactly, but this is everything I tried in order more or less:
Cleared data for Google Search
Set Home back to Google Now Launcher (was Nova)
Reboot into safe mode (press power button, long press on "Power off")
Check if it works - it does
Reboot again
Done (set Home back to Nova, still works).
Maybe safe mode fixed it.

I had the same exact issue you described, clean flash and then root, not sure if it was that way before root. I followed the exact same steps you did and it fixed it for me.
Good. I would suggest to anyone else to just try safe mode. Maybe that is all you need to do.

Safe mode fixed it for me. I don't think some of my widgets carried over correctly from the upgrade from 4.4.4 so I was getting that weird error also on the recent apps screen. Safe mode will wipe them out so you can start over again.
Yeah, clearing google search data fixed it for me, but I reset my home screen and all my widgets are unconfigured, if safe mode works like most people have reported it to do, use that instead.
Clearing Google Search data didn't work for me. But booting into safe mode, then booting normally worked for me.
Guys, I have this problem and no of the 2 solution worked for me... Any help, please?
custom launchers
Looks like this is happening when using a different laucher than the default one. The same happens to me with solo launcher. As the new launcher takes care of the widgets it causes the search bar not to be loaded. Hopefully the devs for the custom launchers find a solution soon.
Solved with full wipe...
Fixed with safe mode
A safe mode reboot fixed it for me on a fully stock nexus 6 running 5.0 but, except for the evernote shortcut, every widget on every screen was removed (after the safe mode reboot). The fix remains after adding back all the widgets and after a normal reboot. After another safe mode reboot (just to check), all the widgets were gone again (had to add them back again but the fix remained.)
Safe mode fixed it for me.
Thanks!
NVIDIA Shield tablet, WiFi only version. Android 5.0.1
Safe mode ftw. Thank you.
I HAVE deleted google search app because its not needed and normally that is where the search bar would be... Any way to get rid of this "Couldnt add widget" message?

Work perfectly! Thanks!
I got this same message after a clean 5.0.1 factory install. No root,recover, or 3rd party launcher, just whatever Google thought to backup to my account. I actually enjoy Google's Now Launcher, I left it as is
After a Safe Mode reboot, it worked fine
Very strange one... My wife's VZW Pixel (I have one too) suddenly experience a bunch of changes that we can't find the trigger for. I just spent a hour troubleshooting every possible thing and I am stumped...hoping for some guidance.
Known facts
1. She changed nothing
2. At least one app (siwftkey) auto-updated... I uninstalled it but that didn't fix it
3. She was on the December patch when this happened. I updated to Jan but that did nothing.
4. Device is stock, unrooted with Nova launcher (I tried the pixel launcher and the same issues appear)
Symptoms:
1. Home and recents buttons do not work on any screen... Back button still works
2. No notifications appear on the NAV bar and nothing appears when you swipe down. Sound notifications do work however. No apps are blocking notifications and the individual app notifications are set up properly
3. Double press the power button no longer goes to camera even though that gesture is toggled on
Factory reset is my next step but I am traveling right now and she will need me to set everything back up so I am hoping there might be a fix short of a full reset.
And suggestions greatly appreciated.

Last resort, you can backup apps and data using Helium, then factory reset it. Then restore with Helium. To use Helium, you'll need a PC though.
Any other results on this?? My pixel just hit the same problem! It is in an area that has no internet so it is causing all sorts of issues. I don't know if the two are related at all.

Unfortunately not... Did a factory reset and that cured it. Not one issue since then. Must have been so random app she downloaded that created a conflict.

Happens with me today. I was messing around with the device and when I clicked in a YouTube video link on notification shade the device suddenly soft reboot.
Since them, home and recentes buttons won't perform their actions. They still vibrate and home button animates on touch. Status bar shows none notification, even I knowing they are arriving via notification sound and quick settings shade won't pull down completely. My tiles was rearranged as well. No mobile connection either.
I'm running lattes official Oreo. Never unlocked and never rooted my pixel XL 128.
For me a factory reset through settings did the trick.
Would be very good if Google could light us about this issue. No rouge apps on my device. In fact I'm using a few
his is an Android issue.
Step instructions:
- Download Nova Launcher. If you cannot from the google play store, search for it on Chrome and download an apk version
- Install it (you may get a pop up advising you need to let apps installed from chrome, go to settings and allow it)
- Once installed, click on Open. This should launch the Nova Launcher
- Long press anywhere on the screen
- Choose Widgets.
- Look for the Activities widget and hold and place it anywhere on the screen.
- Scroll down to Setup Wizard. There's two, one that's "Setup Wizard" and the other "SetupWizard" without a space. Choose the first. There should be an option under it called ".SetupWizardUpgradeActivity". It might be slightly different for you pending the version OS you have but that's what came up for me.
- Select that to create the widget shortcut then click to open.
- This will bring you to the setup wizard and then just click Next all the way through (turn off any preferences you may have in the past)
You can uninstall Nova Launcher afterwards if you want. You don't need to set it as default.
Perfect!!! Thanks.
S7 on MM SuperMan ROM
So a few days ago my GPS started taking longer to find me, and today it just stopped entirely. Been on the same version of the ROM for probably 6+ months. Google maps, Waze, weather, etc, basically any GPS related app can't find me.
Done all the usual stuff, checked settings, disabled xposed, uninstalled any recently installed apps, wiped cache, no go.
Downloaded that GPS tool app everyone recommended and reset GPS settings etc and it didn't help. The diagnoses page says my sensors are all fine, and it can actually find my coordinates but other apps still can't.
I did a nandroid backup then did a clean wipe, and it works on a fresh ROM so I know it's not hardware. Issue comes back when I restore the backup, so it has to be some kind of software related bug or issue.
I just can't think of what it could be. I'll probably have no choice but to set it all up again from scratch, but any ideas of what it could be would be nice.
Did you try delete cache and dalvik cache in recovery only?

Yep, I'll give it another try now.
I've just did an all setting reset within android settings. Which seems to have just made it worse.
edit: nope, tried cache, davlik and internal storage wipe (but leaving data and system). still broke.

Try Reset App Preferences from Settings > Apps > 3 dots top right menu > Reset app preferences
Also Settings > Apps > 3 Dots > App Permissions > Location, check everything is set to accept location that you want to have location access (Top right 3 dots again > show system)

Already tried the permissions settings to no avail, but doing that seems to have done it. Cheers!

So I've been using the ROG phone 5 for ~a month now. I've noticed that my Gboard settings keep resetting it's settings to default randomly after setting them to my personal ones. Same goes for gmail, for some odd reason auto-sync turns off randomly when I don't want it to.
How to replicate:
1. Change settings in Gboard
2. Wait
Anyone else have this issue?
Gboard & some apps always revert to default settings
Is anyone know why gboard and a couple of my apps revert back to their settings to default? My ROG Phone 5 is no root, bootloader locked, and every permission on the apps setting is allowed I even uninstall gboard via adb and re-download via...
