I have a bug with my Nexus 5. Whenever I unlock my phone to the launcher from the lockscreen, the wallpaper will reload itself. It is very irritating since the wallpaper is already loaded on the lockscreen. I'm using Action Launcher but it happens on GNL as well. It seems to have developed recently since I didn't have the issue before. It occurs on all types of wallpapers, both live and static. I'm running Stock and Xposed. I tried disabling GravityBox but it didn't fix the problem. I might factory reset just to get rid of it.

I am rooted, running stock with ADW launcher pro. The past two days, my widgets have stopped updating their content.
Some widgets, like google music, will still control the app, however, they will not show the correct song.
-my time does not change.
-I have gentle alarm and the widget is totally unresponsive.
-I have a flashlight widgets which will turn on the phone's flash light, but the widget will not update to show that it is on
-I have a wifi tether widget that will switch the hotspot to on, but the widget once again will not change appearance to show that it is activated.
-I have calengoo which will update after a reset but then will not change again (to the best of my knowledge i havent verified this one yet)
If i reset the phone the time will update to the time of the reset, but will not change after that. I have tried battery pulls, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling widgets. I have tried freezing touchwiz in titanium. i am out of ideas.
Any idea what is causing this partial widget impairment?
For anyone that had a simmilar problem, I solved this by manually restarting ADW from within the ADW settings. I hadn't thought to do this since I didn't see how it would be different from resetting my phone, but something must be altered when it is manually restarting, perhaps a cache?
Problem Solved
Hello
I bought my wife a Note 10.1 yesterday and when we had set-up her Google account we were greeted with a home screen like the one attached, having cleaned it up a little.
The problem initially appeared to be a form of a weather widget but it is persistent across all the screens, like the Google search bar or the App Drawer icon.
I noticed that the tablet came with ICS so I updated it to JB and it did that fine with no issues. However the weather "widget" (you can't actually select or remove it) remains there stuck on the screen.
I spoke to Samsung and they remotely connected to my tablet but did not know how to resolve the issue.
I then installed Nova Launcher to test if it would then go and it did. But we would prefer, at this stage, to use the default Touchwiz launcher, minus the issue, if possible.
Whilst the Nova launcher was running I cleared the data from the Touchwiz application and then used that as the default launcher. It then placed all the default widgets back to the home screen, as it would when first used, but that weather "thing" still remains.
I can't see any weather or Accu weather type instances running so has anyone got any ideas please how to restore the Touchwiz type launcher to look as it should and not have that persistent non selectable weather thing on the desktop...?
Have you tried a factory reset?

Thanks for that
As I was not rooted. and thus could not access any system apps - in case I could have replaced the touchwiz app etc, I felt that I had little choice but to reset the tablet.
That worked...!!!!!
The good thing being is tha twe had not spent too long in building it up.!
Hi All,
did anyone have the following behavior on their S6 or is it only me?
I installed 5.1.1 on my German S6 which is not rooted and use Nova as my launcher. Whenever I unlock my phone, S6 directly launches some random app (mostly S planner or maps or Playstore) though I didn't open them before locking the phone.
I have cleared cache in recovery several times but the problem is still there which is little annoying
I am having the same issue as you are, only on my Galaxy S5. I'm on T-Mobile, updated to 5.1.1., unrooted, and using Nova Launcher. Upon unlocking my phone, random apps that are on my home screen and apps that I have attached to Nova Launcher gestures open. I tried reinstalling Nova Launcher but that didn't help.
I don't have this problem using stock launcher. Not once I get an app launch randomly. Since both if you guys are using nova launcher and have the same problem then its has a high possibility with Nova, try contacting the developer for Nova.

This is on an MHA-L09. I would prefer to use Nova or the Google launcher, anything but the Huawei stock launcher, but am having issues.
Nova Prime is crashing, or so it is reported by the Huawei Launcher that Ithen replaces it, with a warning that I should uninstall the Nova Launcher. I cannot see a pattern to when Nova crashes.
I have a seperate issue with the Google Launcher. This sometimes finds itself caught in a desktop refresh loop - the desktop will go black, the background image will be re-drawn, then the icons and widgets, then it will blank again. While this loop is happening, I can draw down the notification shade and the screen will stay on, roll up the shade and the refresh loop continues.
So,
a). has anyone else found the same and has solutions, or
b). are there any crash logs that I can look at to see why this might be happening, for either Nova or Google Launchers?
This has happened over a few versions. I have also done a factory reset and the prblem continues. After the reset I did do a re-install from a back-up, so I may have just reloaded what ever is causing the problem, hence my keeness to find logs to help see where the problem may be.
I used to have this problem also but tried Microsoft launcher and I'm hooked.
Ever since, I haven't gone back to huawei or nova
Mine is a L29, USA version, no issues with Nova Prime here.
This issue is definitely caused by using your backup. If I recall correctly the crashing was a nova bug after an android update and has since been fixed, but if you use a backup created before the fix it will cause the same issue again. Simply do a clean nova install and ditch your backup and it will work like a charm again.
Via ADB, I uninstalled some of the bloatware (only the recommended/safe apps) from my brand new Poco X3 NFC. Now the lock-screen wallpaper stays the same, no matter which one I choose. (I already rebooted and shut down the device a couple of times, though.)
I can change the home screen wallpaper normally (using the Wallpaper icon at the bottom left, which appears after tap&hold on home screen), but if I choose to apply the change to both home&lock screens or to lock-screen only, nothing changes.
One interesting thing is that tapping on "Wallpapers" in Settings doesn't do anything anymore.
Any idea about what could have gone wrong?
Did you solve this? the problem is definitely with removing some Xiaomie app, but which one and how can we get it back?

I had this a few year ago when I changed the launcher. MIUI wouldn't allow me to change the lock screen wallpaper when I used Nova Launcher
I guess it was Nova Launcher then, I think I was experimenting with it as well. But I don't have this phone anymore, though.
I too had the same situation until I reinstall the com.miui.miwallpaper package.
PS: The apk from the sites were not working for me so I got it via my friend who has a Redmi Note 10 Pro.
