Add widget, crash Google Search?

Anyone else had this?
Today I removed my calendar widget because it seemed to be syncing improperly, and long pressed the screen to re add it. I tapped widgets, then when I tried to scroll to the next page of widgets, Google Search force closed and kicked me back to the home screen. Repeated three times, same result. Uninstalled updates to Google Search, and the problem stopped but also the home screen went back to the default startup arrangement.

Same issue here. I have even just reflashed a stock factory image and it still happens, must be a recent Google Search (launcher) update that is breaking things. Don't seem to be many people reporting this issue though...

Found another post that cured this problem.
Clear Cached data in Settings/Storage/Cached Data
Worked for me!

Same problem here. But I don't think it was because of adding widget.
I did nothing and it just happened. Both text search and voice search stopped responding.
After rebooting, it worked for a while then it crashed again.
FYI, my problem happened before there's an update yesterday. After updating new version, the problem is still there.
I own both Nexus 4 and 5. The symptom only appeared on Nexus 5.

Okay I'll try upgrading again to see if it still crashes. I have a Titanium Backup of the current setup.
Alright, tried that. Immediately after the upgrade, it once again crashes when I open the widgets menu. However, clearing the cache does indeed fix it. Thank you!
I'm slowly leaning back towards just ditching this to return to Nova Launcher though. The new features I use so rarely anyway.

bad widget, bad!
Encountering this same issue for the last 2 days, although I haven't tried to add a new widget in over a week. Attempted clearning cache, and uninstalling any recent apps - no fix. Multiple restarts - issue persists.
I'm running ART... can anyone else verify that they get this issue whether or not they've changed their runtime?
cheers

Art seems to be the cause here, well definitely was for me.

solution
Simple, but effective.
I continued to have this problem until I turned OFF Google Now, then turned it back ON. From that point on I have had no problems adding widgets or changing wallpaper using either runtime.

This worked perfectly for me; tried clearing apps cache through system settings, didn't work. Went into recovery, cleared cache, solved it. Thanks!

Sorry to bump an old post but I'm having this problem (not running ART), and clearing dalvik + cache didn't fix it for me. Any other things I can do to fix this?

Auto Screen Rotation bug?

Hi
Has anybody a bug like mentioned above?
My FRD-L09 with the latest fw b131 has that bug. After rebooting it works as usual but after some time it stops rotating the Screen.
The Rotation is enabled in the Settings. Tested with many apps like google fotos, the stock foto gallery, even chrome does not auto rotate.
As is said, after a reboot it works again.

Try wiping the Cache Partition in the Recovery Mode menu. If that doesn't work then backup the data on your device and perform a hard factory reset on your device.

Is the issue gone for once as you rebooted?!

Yes, as i stated above

Good

I have the same issue, after some time the rotation is not working anymore. A restart fixes that temporary, but it is getting annoying

It has happened to me twice in 2 days. Not sure if it was camera related, but that's when I noticed it because the pics I took in landscape were rotated 90 degrees in the gallery, and nothing auto-rotates after that. So rebooting fixes it.

A hard factory reset solved the problem for me, at least I did not get this issue again since 3 days.
But I think it has something to do with "smart assistance", this is the only setting that is deactivated since I've made the reset.
So try to turn things off there and maybe I am right, if not do a hard reset (Do not forget to backup your data !!)

Have the same annoying bug on my Honor Note 8, must be something to do with Huawei's power management cause it seems to happen when battery goes below 10%. Restart seems to fix it every time

Hello,
I have the same bug on my Honor 8.
Does someone found a solution ? it's very annoying
Thanks!

You are my personal hero, PreDer!
I only deacticated all options in "smart assisstence" settings. Only Smart Key is activated. I did a partition cache wipe afterwards (no factory reset!) and now everything is working perfectly for last couple of days!

Hi, any update?
Same issue here, but today It reactivated the function by itself as it stopped working with gallery and google photo uploading.
I had anyway some movement options active in smart assistance, which I now have deactivated leaving only the smart cover option.

It is still working perfectly for me with only smart key activated in settings. No issues anymore so far...

Ok thanks, looks like mine too is working again.
Something like the error message of "Google....etc etc...impossible recording" whenever the microphone was used by an app, even taking movies. I then discovered that I had to deactivate the "Ok Google on every screen" option.
By the way, even if I wanted to wait for a massive test of the B380 upgrade, I found that my Honor 8 had downloaded automatically the upgrade, prompting me to reboot to install it, when I left it connected to my home wifi.
I can't find anyway to force it not to download system upgrades by itself, I have a very bad experience from iPad of unnecessary upgrades, is there a way to take control manually of system upgrades?
Actually I haven't seen any battery improvement after the upgrade to B380...

I have the same issue. I can confirm that the reboot fixed the problem. Will see how long befoe this bug comes back.

Rebooting fixes until smart assistance critical option forces the problem to come back. It might be a conflict with some particular app, but deactivating most of the smart options one at a time to see which one is the guilty will solve the issue.

Unfortunatly, reboot fixes the bug for me for only 5 or 6 days :/

As multiple times stated, rebooting is USELESS if you don't deactivate the smart option that fights with some of the apps!

Hi guys,
Same issue wirh FRD-L09. It's very annoyng problem. Any news to fix it?
Hard reset solves only for one day
Thanks

Audio stops playing after locking the screen

Hi, I didn't find anyone with similar problems I have with Honor 8 after EMUI 5 update so I think I am rather lonely with this problem.
When I am listening to audio in apps like Deezer, PocketCasts,... there are 3 events that occur randomly after I press power button to lock the screen:
- There is no problem. Audio keeps playing.
- Audio stops playing. When I unlock the phone app is still running. It's like someone would press pause button.
- Audio stops playing. When I unlock the phone I see home screen. App closes itself.
In battery settings these apps have "Close apps after screen lock" option unchecked.
I've already done factory reset but problem persists.
Does anyone also have this issue? How to fix it?
I would be thankful for your help.

Just chiming in to say I have the same issue but unfortunately do not have a solution. I did a factory reset also hoping to fix this but it has not (EMUI 5). I only use Pocketcasts but when it happens (maybe 1 in 5), the app has always closed even though I also have specified the app not to close on screen lock.
Hopefully someone else has come across this and might have an answer.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try and see if it helps.

Wiping cache from recovery did not help solving this issue

I don't have this problem any longer. See my reply in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/music-apps-close-phone-locked-t3671198
Basically, disable Chrome browser from closing when the screen is locked.
Hope it works for you too.

Default Launcher Problem

Hi all,
I'm totally stuck with this one, I'm using NovaLauncher as my default home app, at least i want to, but it keeps getting reset / reverted to the Huawei Home app no matter what i seem to do whenever i reboot the phone and nobody seems to have an soloution, that i can find anyway.
I've changed default app (apps > settings > default app settings > launcher) and (default app settings > special access > write system settings) switching NovaLauncher to Yes / Huawei Home to No. I've also tried "Aggressive Desktop" in NovaLauncher Settings > Advanced, none of which solve it.
I've read before that having Bluetooth enabled can cause this, mine just happens whenever i reboot, it's EXTREMELY annoying. I've only noticed this problem after i had a few OTA updates. I'm currently on the latest update it's giving me which is BLN-L21C432B377.
Really hoping somebody has a method to fix this, it's drivin me crazy
Thanks!

Strange. I am on EMUI 8 and no such problems. Maybe try reinstalling the app?

I've seen this problem be posted a couple of times on XDA but they were in different Honor device sections i think. I'll try reinstalling now and let you know how it goes :good:

FWIW, I'm having the same issue. I feel like it started with the August (July?) security update. I haven't tried a reinstall of Nova because I'd rather have to take 1 minute to set Nova as default with every time I reboot vs. take the time big hit to get all my other preferences (desktop, icons, etc) sorted following a remove/reinstall of Nova. But yes, it's driving me crazy, too.

Well bugger me sideways lol, sometimes you end up doing all the more complicated things and neglect the most obvious! I reinstalled Nova Launcher and everything has been fine since, rebooting etc, working like it should, cheers Mannan :good:
Hey hereusethis try reinstalling too and yeah i'm sure it started happening around the same time frame for me too! Don't worry it's painless, in the Nova Launcher Settings scroll right to the bottom you'll see Backup & Import Settings. Make a backup there, uninstall the app / reinstall and go back down to Backup but this time choose Import, all your settings etc will come straight back
So far so good, hope it sticks, like i said though it always reset the launcher after rebooting the phone, hasn't done that and i rebooted plenty to test it. Thanks again :good:

Glad to help.

Launcher keeps switching back to Default Launcher - Help :-(

I'm noticed a really odd issue.
I've finally switched to gesture controls and I'm finding that if i turn the phone off and back on the system switches back to the 'default' launcher and also every now and then the 'home' gesture will switch to the default launcher
Usually launcher is 'Action Launcher'
Anyone else having the same issue or any idea how to solve this?
Note: I didnt get this issue when using virtual buttons.

Yes, I've experienced this and it is a known Oppo issue. You can get around the problem by doing the following (although you'll have to repeat it whenever you reboot the phone).
1. Go into settings -> App management -> Default app and set the Home app to System Launcher.
2. Repeat the above but this time select your launcher of choice.
It's not at all clear why this should work but, as other users also report, it does.

My Joying Head Unit will operate correctly for a while but then reverts to the stock launcher. I do not have gestures turned on. Happens for Car Launcher Pro and Agama as well. Updating firmware fixed the problem for a while, but a month or so later it is back. Any thoughts?

Same problem here, just started recently.

Can you think of anything that may have caused it? I updated a number of Apps (including Google Services, Agama, etc) just prior to the problem occurring this time. I had automatic updates turned on, but have since turned them off.

I haven't touched it in months, I had Nova launcher running without any problems since Feb. One morning last week, I turn on my truck and the stock launcher loaded. Now everytime I change default launcher it revert back to the stock one. Ive also tried web launcher guru, same thing.
