Hey there, I really need some help of you guys... I am using the ROG Phone 5 as my daily driver for quite a while now - never had serious problems.
Now, after updating to Android 12, I tried to install a launcher - no problems - place apps on the homescreen - no problems - and cannot add a single widget to any launcher. The pop-up, where it asks if the launcher is allowed to create widgets doesn't show up, instead it always says "settings stopped working".
Only the standard ASUS-Launcher, which ist quite bad, let's me place widgets, as you do not have to give permissions there. Never had this problem and don't know what to do now... Can someone help me please? :3
Re-installing the launcher as well as resetting the phone didn't work for me - seems like there this is a OS realted issue? Maybe there is a workaround?
Hey,
I've searched the internet for a really long time to find someone who also has my problem. I can agree with you one hundred percent, I also own the ASUS Rog Phone 5 and can't use any widget by using an other launcher than the standard ASUS. I keep getting the same error message too. I'm getting desperate, can someone help us?
Hey, got the same problem here, didn't expect to find anyone asking about it here. Also, I'm using the 5s Pro version, but I guess they're not that different. Weird thing for me though, I did not have this problem before, I use nova launcher and it worked perfectly fine but a couple weeks ago my phone just died on me while I was playing and had to send it to a service place, they changed the motherboard and I got it back yesterday, after installing stuff on it, when I got to the launcher part I was super confused about this thing, I got the same message "Settings stopped working", I had made a backup of my launcher on another phone and sent it on my rog phone, the widgets appeared but couldn't load completely (I had a weather widget and a calendar) I pressed on them and that message popped again. I randomly tried pressing multiple times on the widget and I got a text saying "factory reset" "restarting" or something like that (didn't quite get it since it restarts quickly and then it brings me in a menu asking me to try loading my system again or do a factory reset, this is a pretty strange problem/bug/whatever, and I hope Asus will fix it at some point.

My weather tab in TF3D has suddenly stopped working - it no longer updates and can't retrieve the weather data. I'm running the base HTC Rom and haven't done much customization as of yet. Has anyone else had a similar problem? I searched the forums but found nothing.
Thanks!
Hi,
Does is return an error message when you force the update or is it just doing nothing ?
possibly the servers are down, mine sufferd 2 nights back, but is working again
Theres sometimes and issue that can be fixed using Weather Database.
Dont know if that's the problem you have thought
Did you try to just leave TF3D on the weather tab for 5 - 10 mins to see if an error message eventually popped up. I know that sometimes my weather tab will say updating for a while then give me an error message.
That's happened to me a few times... it just would not update and all i got was the black box. Then I forgot about it and the next day it worked fine.
Been awhile since I had a chance to check this thread but thanks for responding. I'll try Weather Database and see if that does it, because it's been an ongoing problem since my original post. If I figure it out I'll post the solution here.
Thanks again guys.
I had the same problem. The weather tab changes the server while looking for another one if the original is currently not available. Just use the program Weather Database. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408918&highlight=Weather+Database I think it was just opening the program, enter the menu, click on safe settings or ok.
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.

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519943
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...
Hello everyone,
I have my Nexus 5 since january. It`s been a really great experience.
I love to customize my N5. I am always changing icons, wallpapers and lockscreen looks.
For that, I keep looking for new apps in foruns like this, or Mycolorscreen, or Deviantart and etc.
One of this days, I found these lockscreen apps:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lockscreen.galaxy
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lockscreen.optimus
and
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lockscreen.sony
All of them are from the same developer. They are really beautiful, well designed and I was very happy with the look and experience that those apps gave me.
But soon I notice something strange when I first boot my phone in the morning: the N5 kept the home screen lit... It did not matter how many times I pushed the main button, trying to turn the scrren off and get the lockscreen working. I also noticed that the apps that usually open in the first boot were not getting started. Their notifications were not showing up. The screen kept ligthen up in my homescreen...
I was suspecting that these apps that were working properly before the installation of the three lockscreen apps above, were "fighting" with the new apps (the lockscreen apps). As the lcokscreen apps are from the same developer, I figured that they were the problem. So I unsitalled them. The apps that have always been working fine before the lockscreen apps have been installed are:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.rgruet.android.g3watchdog
and
http://www.amazon.com.br/MacroPinch-Bateria-Pro/dp/B0085YOD1A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1399848399&sr=8-3&keywords=bateria
I have been using the stock lockscreen since then...
Today (May 11th), I found the following lockscreen app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qiigame.flocker.global
and decided to give it a try. And I loved it. It is a very beautiful lockscreen.
But after trying it for some time, learning how to use it... I reeboted my N5...
Unfortunally, the issue I (tried to) describe above happened again. After reeboting, the screen got lightened all the time. I push the main button and the scrren did not turn off. 3G watchdog, Battery and Lighfolw don`t show the notifications of starting up.
So, I am back in Nexus 5 sotck lockscreen!
I would love to use these lockscreen apps. But I don`t know what is going on. Can someone pelas help me???
I am sorry if this thread is confused. It is not easy to try to explain it in english. lol
I think this is just a case of buggy apps. I read through reviews for these apps from nexus 5 users, others are experiencing the same problems. The author of the last lock screen app you are using said to try going into the apps setting and choose "home button settings" and follow the three steps there, whatever those are, to solve your problem.
I've been happily using my Memo Pad 8 for the past few days. I recently wanted to change my resolution because of an application that was having problems with the stock 1280x800. They told me to backup before I changed my resolution, and I didn't...
I changed my resolution once, my device restarted, and it worked fine, no errors.
I then wanted to change it back to 220 dpi and when the device restarted, I started getting simultaneous errors,
"Unfortunately, System UI has stopped."
"Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped"
"Unfortunately, Launcher has stopped"
Is there any hope for me?
I factory resetted... which I believe automatically turns off debugging. This hole is very deep...
Is there any way that my tab can be fixed? :'(
I do have root access by the way.
The app that I used is called Texdroider DPI.
Could really use some help here... this was a Christmas present
Still awaiting assistance
Please, this is my first tab
Is my situation really that hopeless? Come on guys, someone has to have an answer out there... this is my first and only tablet!
Still no help? :'(
-sigh- Still looking for a solution...
Does anyone at least know another place I could go to get a fix?
Still waitin'...
There Has to Be Somebody!
Anybody...? I hate bumping my posts like this, but I really think that some of you out there have the knowledge to help me, it would make my day - week for that matter!

Since updating to Lollipop I've also experienced a number of issues, including laggy home screen (it's blank for a second or two before the icons start loading, whereas before it was immediate) and huge number of Chrome crashes. Anyone know if there's anything we can do, or should we expect an update from Google?

Hi,
as i was not able to get any info regarding how to solve the issue, i did Factory Reset.
at the moment problem seems to be solved, i have left not installed now only 3-4 apps which I had before when the problem started.
2 hours after the operation finish i got nearly 10 google apps aupdate, chrome was one of them. it doesn't crash any more, keaybord shows up and works.
Also menu button works perfectly, when i press it all the apps show immediately, its doesn't take like 10-15sec for the apps to show up.
I do recomand to perform factory reset.
regards,
