Hi guys!
I´ve just updated my TF101 to ICS and it´s really fast. But I have a problem with the laucher. Some times, when touch the home button to go to the homescreen, the laucher and all the icons desappear.
I can´t go to the apps that are open (with the multi-task button) but the launcher doesn´t appear.
The only solution I know is shuting down the Tf101 or closing the laucher app, but it is quite boring to do ir every 5 or 10 min.
Does it happen to anyone here?
Happens to me as well.

Same here... needs re-boot to recover...
I only had that if the option to kill tasks as u exit them was checked on. Its under developer options towards the bottom.
Edit: actually that's only the case on my phone. I have the option checked on my tablet and it works just fine.

I seem to have the same issue.
I had the issue and then I did a factory reset, I haven't seen it since

Ok thanks for all I´ll re-boot it, but will I lose all my apps? I´ve never done a hard reset.
Everything that wasn't stock on the tablet will have to be reinstalled.

same here but may be able to narrow it down.
I am having the same problem. The whole screen just displays the wallpaper and removes any icons or buttons. So I can pan sideways and can sometime know what I am clicking on by memory but all icons go until I reboot.
weird thing is.... I have done a factory reset. reloaded my apps and settings. Its all working fine until I pop the Gmail and Calendar widgets on the screen, then boom. Gone again.
At the moment I am running without any widgets and I have not had a repeat. Do any of you clever clogs have any ideas on this one. Seems to be a small percentage of users with the issue.
Same...
I had the same problem however it seems to have stopped now. Perhaps as a result of my app purge that i did the other day.
Anyway for those still having this problem i suggest you use the notification bar to access the settings then from there you can go to the Launcher under apps and do a force close. after a bit it will reopen again with all screen icons and widgets back.
Guys I think this is the same issue, it happens on my tf.

yep
Happens to me too,
I managed to fix it the latest time without rebooting, by going into settings, running apps and stopping the launcher and anything google. Next time this happen I will make a note of which killed process gives me my app icons back.
also its strange that even with the app icons gone, you can still click around the screen and open things, as if they were there.
same ...
same problem on my tf101
I fixed this by clearing the data for the Launcher in settings. Hasn't happened since but annoying as it meant rebuilding my homescreens :-(

you should try Nova Launcher, it looks and acts like the default launcher in ICS. But with a couple functions added. I havent had any troubles with it.
Just search it in the market. to get the widgets to work just move it to /system/app
I installed ICS on mine at the weekend. For a couple of days it reasonably stable, though certain apps lagged somewhat. Then it got much, much worse. There's a recurrent problem with the launcher. If you've gone away from it, such as to use an app, and then return, firstly the widgets and stacked/grouped app icons vanish, then all the rest of the icons vanish, and the three squares on the top right of the screen. The icons are still there, as it's possible to stab on the screen in the right place and launch the app that the invisible icon links to. All five screens of the launcher have vanished. The tablet still runs, as the live wallpaper still runs, and the recent apps are accessible.
Other problems include major freezes or lags. It's common to go to launch email or the web browser only to have to wait 20 seconds or so before anything happens. I've had to wait 5 minutes before now for Opera to launch. Eventually the tablet will freeze and I have to reboot it, but even then, apps take an age to launch, and regularly freeze. It's getting to the point of being totally unusable. It's taken many, many attempts to write this email as the app crashes of its own accord, and perish the thought that I copy and paste any text in, including the email address - it's enough to crash the email app.
My TF101 ran Android 3.2 perfectly fine, and very, very quickly. It was gloriously stable. I can't get more than 2 hours of use out of this without having to reboot; this afternoon I've been having to reboot every 10 minutes.
I've drawn Asus' attention to these problems via Twitter and Google+, and I know they've been told about it on Facebook, but there's been a wall of silence.

I had the problem with a disappearing launcher on ICS on 4 different launchers. Recently I removed a few widgets (NewsRepublic, Bacon Reader, and DroidWidget) and haven't had the problem reoccur. Maybe some widget incompatibility is to blame?

Could be. Mine's more stable (touch wood) since I got rid of both Beautiful Widgets widgets off my home screen.
Guys I´ve finally done a hard reset on my tf and all goes fine.
Thanks for all
Same problem here with the stock ICS launcher. Using ADW Launcher EX without problems.
Some apps seems to be running super fast at times and then others super slow at times with ICS. Guess I'll do a Titanium backup and factory reset and see if that helps. ugh...
I have had several Android devices and never this problem. All of them great phones, but this one arguably the best, the Galaxy Nexus
I installed the purchased Beautiful Widgets
It works...BUT, a big BUT
I can hit go into settings, fine
I can go into weather settings and change the weather fine,
I can change the text, etc fine
But when It comes to going directly to changing the Clocks OR going into Settings, which opens ASAP, then into Clocks, in both/all cases, it makes me wait literally 20-40 seconds, about half the time saying "beautiful widgets is not responding, wait, or no"
I always select wait, and it is fine
I just cleared cache, removed and installed the app
I also installed it new on my friends phone, the same GN, and it went right to the clocks with no problem
Can anyone help? I hope I don't need to do a factory reset
I had to a week after I got it because I could not update FB status and the Nexus rep said he had the same problem
Could it be that I have too many clocks downloaded?
I would stake my life, and stake my life that you are going to say no because I had that many on the Galaxy S II an it opened fine
Any help would be most appreciated
Sincerely
Eric
So i have a Samsung Galaxy S3 with Paranoid Android 3.1 (March 1st build) and I also have Nova Launcher!
My home button used to always take me to the home screen! or main page! but randomly it keeps just opening recent apps! No matter what i do it just keeps opening recent apps i even went into nova launcher and assigned home to go to the home screen and still doesnt work! Any help or ideas!?
*EDIT
I just reset my phone and i think the problem seems to be Widget Locker which i used to replace my lockscreen, not 100% sure but it seems to be a bit buggy on 4.2 devices... it could even be some setting in it not 100% any help because this might happen again!?

That happened to me before even on CM10.1; I believe the feedback is sometimes unresponsively accurate.
But if you use Nova Launcher, you can manually take off "recent apps" and replace with "home". But, sometimes it thinks your quick press is a hold, haha. I just know reboot will quickly fix it... for now.

AGH it happened again! and ya i think it just keeps glitching and thinking that my quick press is a hold! oh well a quick reset every now and then cant be that annoying... Thanks for the input!
What kernal are you running? I've had this issue as well and have wondered if it's kernal related. The only thing I could do to remedy the problem was reboot the phone.

Rebooting the phone seems to always fix it, I was running the included kernel along with Nova launcher and would run into it after about a half day runtime
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.!
After my phone switched to DST this morning the Weather Widget is still displaying the old time. I'm removed the widget & re-added and same thing. re-booted and changed cities and still I get the wrong time.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Same here. I've tried changing time zones, setting time to manual, clearing weather app data, clearing cache from recovery, removing and re-adding the widget and multiple reboots. Still displays the wrong time. Maybe it's a problem on the server side. I'm running the latest beta and remember one of the updates created weather widget to show wrong location and temperature. Hope it fixes itself soon.
