Widgets Vanishing?

Anyone else have this issue? Seems to be the CNN or Youtube widgets (the ones with cascading effects). The only way to get them back is to reboot (that I have found). You cant add the widget back to the desktop because its still there. You will have duplicates if you reboot...
Any fix for this? Pretty annoying.

You can still long press it and remove it even though you can't see it. I've done this then added the widget back and that usually works. For the youtube widget mine only doesn't work when I'm not connected to wifi but the same concept might fix it. Goodluck

Icons disappearing from home screens.

Ok I am having a weird issue with my new Atrix.
I am having icons of stuff I downloaded and added to the home screens disappear randomly.
Everything was fine all day, then I just went into my phone and noticed 4 icons on one screen were missing. The apps are still installed, just gone off the home screen. Not all of them on that screen dissappeared, just some of them.
Has anyone else had this happen to them? If so, what did you do to fix it?

I've had my widgets disappear but not shortcuts. This usually only happens after a crash and random reboot. I flash different roms alot though so don't know if this is a stock problem.

Which launcher do you use? It used to happen to me on Go launcher. If I exited it from setting it would restart fine. Hasn't happened in a long time though.

I'm actually just running the stock launcher the Atrix comes with.
I would love to have the stock GB launcher like what comes on the Nexus S. But I don't think you can just download that from the market.

Go launcher is way better, I suggest you try it. ADW and Launcher pro also have free versions which are much better than motoblur.

Ive had this happen as well. My snes emulator was missing. My phone actually uninstalled it. Hadto reinstall through titanium backup.

This happens on my stock Atrix every now and then.
Between 1 and 4 icons disappear, always from the same screen.

Ya mine is happening on the screen one right from center. I am curious, the next time it happens I am going to move them to another screen and see if it still does it.
It doesn't happen all the time, just every once in awhile, but annoying just the same.

Just curious but are you removing your sd card or have these apps on the external sd card?

ya for me it's the same 3 icons in the same place.
Today I moved all my stuff to a different home screen to see what would happen, and it still did the same thing.
I don't know if this is a GB issue or not. My Atrix already had GB on it when I got it.
I wonder if trying a different launcher would help. I was hoping to avoid using a different run cause I am fine with the stock launcher. I am not sure what launcher to try out. I used to use LauncherPro when I still had a Captivate cause I think TouchWiz looks like it was designed by a 10 year old. But LP seems a bit dated, hasn't been updated in awhile and it just too plain.
I was looking at Go Launcher, that seems like a popular one which offers alot.

Go Launcher used to do this to me all the time. figured out it was happening when the screen was being redrawn going from landscape to portrait mode. each time I would switch modes some icons would be gone and some would come back. theyve fixed this bug finally though in the last couple of versions...

I think when you update an app there's a chance it does this. Im sure there's more to the story but I am stock and its doing as you described but on the left screen from center

I had this problem and it happened fairly often on reboots/power on. Mine wouldnt even show in the app drawer. Tracked it down to apps that were either installed in the Media Area (internal sd card) or External sd card. It usually happened if i started messing with the phone before everything fully loaded. If i waited a little they would eventually show up, sometimes.
If the problem apps are in the Media try moving them back and see if it still happens. I had a lot of apps in Media and external so I ended up doing a back up and then reformatting internal/external storage, then restoring. I haven't had the problem since, but i did move to GB and custom rom about 2 weeks afterwards, so that could have helped also.

I had a similar issue after unlocking my phone and installing a custom kernel. Revert to a lower version of pudding (unlock sbf file) and restore original kernel if u have one

I have version 2.35, and I'm having this exact problem. I checked for an update, but it's the most current version. Anyone know if a new one is on the way?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

this has happened to me as well.
I noticed that it would happen after certain apps would automatically update.
once the apps update, they're gone from my home screens.
then it drives me crazy trying to figure out what shortcuts were where.
completely stock Atrix.

Same here.....these random reboots are killing me...

Ok some news to report.
I exchanged my Atrix for another one, and set up a new Motoblur account when I first booted the new phone.
Now for some reason my icons are not disappearing. It's been a day so far and everything is fine.
I don't now if it was the new phone or the new Motoblur account which made the difference. I am thinking it might be the new phone though.
If it starts happening again I'll post another reply.

Weather ticker

Ever since I flashed froyo on my phone I have had problems with my weather ticker. It hasn't been updating/refreshing like it should. Also when I click the icon on my ticker it no longer opens weather bug anyone know why?

If your running ec07. Try the GPS fix.

Well, It wasn't working when I used EC03, and yesterday I switched to EC07. Still isn't working. I'm hesitant to try the GPS Fix because it's a shot in the dark if it would work and it's going to take a quite a bit of time for me to figure out ADB.
Any other suggestions? :/

Copy and paste GPS. Conf with root explorer in folder that the adb command says in post. Then reboot. Make sure to mount r/w in folder pasting to. (Button on top in root explr)

Ah thank you. I copied the gsp.config over, lets see if it works....
EDIT: Nope, a no go on the weather ticker. I can't even open it.

Are you on a stock ROM or one of the manymodded ROMs? the only reason it wouldn't open would be if someone deleted the app or if your ticker is forever "locked"which I have seen before....
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda premium

I'm using Nuckins ROM. I don't think the ticker is locked, because I can still open my Text messages via the ticker bar. Just the weather thingymabobber won't come up, and the only way I can refresh it is by manually going into the weather ticker settings and clicking Refresh. It doesn't even seem to refresh automatically every 3 hours, like it is set to do.
I'm not sure if Nuckin's ROM has deleted the app or not, but if it has how can I get it back? ALSO... Before this ROM I was using THIS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203597 ROM by pastorbennett and the weather ticker OPENED but wasn't updating with it.

I know at one point on an older flash I was using TI and deleted some essential apps for the entire ticker section without knowing it. They're have very vague names. Reflashing would definitely fix the issue, if that's something you're willing to do.

Reflashing what? I've already experimented with 2 different ROMS. First time I had EC03/pastorbennetts ROM and this time I have EC07/Nuckin's ROM.... problems with both and the weather ticker. However, slightly different problems. With EC03 I could open the weatherbug app by clicking on the weather icon, but I couldn't refresh it not even manually. This time, with EC07 I can refresh it manually but that's about it. I can't open the Weatherbug app and I don't think it's refreshing on its own either. (Although it could be, I'm just having a hard time telling since I can't open the APP and see what time it updated.)
Plus, I've reflashed both of those more than once with the same issue.
EDIT: Unless you mean to reflash stock, then flash the ROM?
EDIT2: I think I've already reflashed stop after this anyway....
EDIT3: Well, I tried to manually go into my applications and open Weatherbug and it's giving a Force Close Error. >.< I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it, same issue.

Best advice I could give is to go into <2e> then open CwM (red seems to work nicely) wipe cache wipe data factory reset then reflash the EC07_clean! This ROM fixed most problems for me and its a simple quick flash. Then you can update to whatever ROM you've been wanting to use. The entire ticker-stuffs has worked flawlessly for me on the EC07 clean so I recommend that. It was a problem I was having too since rooting my i400.

Okay so now that my phone is unbricked, haha... I'm having my lovely WB ticker problem again. Except this time, the program opens when I click the ticker BUT I can't refresh it manually with the refresh icon. Any idea why or how it can be fixed? lol

Funny, I just started having the problem where the ticker icon doesn't open the app.

Think I deleted something... -.- I'll reflash later...

I thought I fixed it, but alas, I did not. >.< WB stop haunting meeeeee.

Anyone have any other suggestions? I assume thee is no way to have the ticker use another app either?

I can very easily, (well... Pretty easily, haha.... ) make the ticker use another app, haha...

[CLOSED] UCCW closes

I've been taking the time to create a theme with UCCW lately. However, UCCW frequently doesn't load the widgets when I start my device. They just display the loading icon. I also experience frequent crashes and reinstalling the app does not have an effect. Is this due to an OpenGL live wallpaper or is this a known issue?

There have recently been problems with the latest version of UCCW (2.8.8), which many users have said causes the app to regularly crash. It also did something to the main settings of the app as it resized all of my widgets which made my carefully set up home screen look terrible!
I have since rolled back to version 2.8.7 which fixes the problems.
I suggest you check the version number, and if it is 2.8.8 then try and get an older version.

Wrong thread?

You might have some luck if you ask in one of the huge UCCW threads in the main XDA themeing subforum. Im sure someone has to have it still.

I did. Editing first post now, someone got me a copy of 2.8.7 and all is well.

Working fine for me.

Everything seems to be working fine for me as well.

Is anyone else getting notification chimes during playback of music? I'm getting one for play/pause, two when it goes forward a track or I skip, and three when I reverse a track.

Received the update notification & upgraded to Oreo. Now my Verizon S8± widgets aren't working correctly. Beautiful Widgets time gets stuck, Evernote widget is partially blank, & RealCalc widget won't respond at all. Upon waking the phone, the widgets have disappeared. I have to put the phone to sleep & wake it to set them to reappear, but they don't respond.
I've tried to re-install those apps with no success. I installed HD Widgets & got the same results. Any suggestions short of factory resetting it? Thanks in advance.

All of my apps were up to date. The problem was with Next 3D Launcher that I was using at that time. I've switched to Nova Launcher & that solved my problem.
