No, using One UI.

Yes I am giving the same issues. The widget gone missing from cover screen. Sometime also missing or disappeared from main screen.

I realized the cause of the issue.
If one adjusts the Font size in the Display settings, widgets disappear. Looks like a bug.
So, the solution for me was to adjust the Font size for once and don't adjust the same often.

I have the same issue. But the widgets vanished from the cover screen after a reboot of the Fold.

So, it could be a bug. Somebody needs to bring it to the attention of the relevant Samsung team.
My widgets are not disappearing, as long as i don't change the Font size in the display settings.

I'm having similar issue. If I try to add widget to ext. Home screen (at the bottom) when the screen turns off/on or when I open phone, the ext. Widget disappears - and reappears on the interior home screen (duplicate).
Although I don't think messing with font sizes will change the outcome

This is a bug. When you restart the phone and sometimes when you mess with the font size, widgets disappear.

Issues with text misalignment under icons in Main Apps screen [fixed!]

I am having an issue with the following apps in the Apps screen on my Nexus
updated facebook
compass
movies
the weather channel
shopsavvy
after downloading these apps from the Market, the text under the icons seems to be off to the right in the main applications screen, but if i make a shortcut for the same app onto the home screen, the text under the icons in the home screen is properly aligned...
Anyone else having this issue?
I have firmware 2.1, Baseband 32.19.00.16U_4.02_02.14 and Kernel 2.6.29-gad36b87 [email protected] #1
ok I fixed it
Just change to another locale (eg, from UK english to US english) and its fixed.
Silly bug!
I also noticed this, a simple turn off-turn on will also solve this problem it seems!
what do you mean text misalignment? In my app menu I have apps that the word isn't spaced and 1 or 2 letters continue underneath the icon.
Is that what you mean?
if so, where did you go to change your locale?

I have this problem as well. I don't think it's the same as the ops.
Reboot fixes this

I saw the same for "Wikitude": the text started a few spaced to the right underneath the icon, as if starting with a Tab. I rebooted and the problem was fixed. Then I installed "g-Lock demo", and had the same problem. Another reboot fixed that too.

Maybe it changed recently, but now it is:
Settings>security>Lock Screen Options>Weather (on off)...
:laugh:
If you're referring to the lockscreen when in a dock, you need to click the menu button when the lockscreen is displayed. It will open up a listing with Settings as a choice. That's where you turn AccuWeather on or off.

Yes I have the weather turned on but it will not auto update or show the current city if I go to a different location. It will update if i turn the setting for the weather off and then on again or reboot but it will not change on its own like the apps do

Ok i just saw that the weather settings are there. I did not know to click on the weather on/off selection to see the refresh options. I wish it refreshed more frequently than one hour to reflect if I change my location

[Q] Strange issue with ADW launcher on tablet

Hi all!
Before posting i've searched in the forum for my issue with no success.
Anyway have installed adw launcher on my tablet with original rom but after some days when i enter in app drawer and rotate the tablet magically the drawer disappear
I've tried to tap the screen and the apps open correctly so the app drawer seems invisible and covered from the background.
Have tried to reboot the tablet, uninstall, re-install, delete data of adw but not solve the problem.
Anyone say how to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.

In ADW launcher, under settings, there should be a few options such as "transparency in tablet mode" - this would be available under the app drawer settings. Make sure you don't have two entirely different settings for horizontal and verticle as well.

Nacho Notch! Hide the notch.

Anybody seen this app? Just found it by accident. Works like the built-in one should. It's free and ad free.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nachonotch
I like the notch and will not be hiding it
only problem with that app is it produces 2 persistent notifications. not a good trade-off in my book.

Hold the notification. You can hide them.

the notifications are there to keep the app running all the time. if you block the notifications the app likely will quit working at times.

Hasn't for me. Been running since I posted this.
20degrees method worked for me. No persistent notification. Now I can have the notch always hidden like I wanted
Works nicely. Now when you go into other apps, the top stays black and the notch stays hidden.
Only minor issue if you have OCD, is say you use something like FB Messenger, part of the chat head will be hidden under the blacked out part of the top.
I've been running it for 3 days and no issues yet. Still stays persistent too!

Can't you do the same thing without installing an extra app?
Settings -> Display -> Second Screen
Pick "Custom" and it should change it to be black around the edge of the notch by default.

That stops when u go into apps where the notification bar is a different color. This app keeps it black all the time.

Yup. I actually just donated to the guy. It's worth a few $$ to me.
Does anyone know of a way to get Google Photos to "respect" the notch and not stretch all the way to the top? Otherwise the close and menu icons are cut off (when Natcho Notch) when you're editing a photo.
Conversely, for full-screen apps that do respect the notch but hide the status bar, like Acrobat Reader and Google Play Books, is there a way to force the status bar to show? Otherwise, we have wasted space on both sides of the notch.
My only concern is that unlike amoled screens, lcd screens stay lit when the screen needs to display black. Would it cause burn in by any chance?

My understanding is that LCD screens are not susceptible to burn-in the way AMOLED screens are.

Nope. I've been using it since June and no issues here.

Question App Icons Changing locations on its Own

Hi,
Does anyone faces this issue?
I have moved the app icons to the layout that I want and also lock the home screen layout.
However, the icons will still shift on its own to another page after a reboot. Then when I try to shift it back, it said the home screen is locked. Its weird that I cannot move the icons but the phone can move the icons even though the home screen layout is locked.
