So, I restarted my tablet today. When it started back up, all of my widgets were gone. I started to pop them back in and the picture frame one is now 2x2. It was 3x3 before I restarted.
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!!

I've had exactly the same problem. Some times when I switch the machine on (not from a cold boot) the picture frame is 2x2 other times it is 3x3. Gets me to thinking that this info must be held in the coding somewhere and, if that is the case, how easy would it be to chage it.

It's such an odd error if you think about it. No rush though, as the 3.1 update will bring resizeability.

Hi,
I saw the same issue. Not only picture frame was affected, but also digital clock was 3x1 instead of 5x2. In my case it helped to rotate the A500 to portrait mode for moment. After that widgets had expected size again - also in landscape mode.
Can someone else verify...?

Thanks for your response.
My A500 was rooted and I had installed CWM recovery before I upgraded to the unofficial 3.1. I initially had problems with losing Gmail, etc. but after a wipe and re-install everything was fine.
I was only some time later that I noticed that the picture frame widget sometimes had a 2x2 resolution and other times had a 3x3 resolution. Not really a problem - I am only curious why it would do this and if it is possible to change this.
I have sized widgets such as e-mail and gmail widgets, so I know how that works. This resizing does not work on all widgets as far as I am aware.
It would be nice if some of the clever guys on this forum could shed some light on this.

Anyone having issues with widgets loading in 2.3.3?
My twitter widget will not load. Even stranger, I cannot add any applications to any screen. Very odd.
I'm running on ADW. Is ADW the real issue?

how did you get them back? a long press does nothing for me now!
hmmm. my widgets work just fine. long press also works. did you try a reboot?

Only problem I am having with 2.3.3 is the screen colors. It's terrible, definitely gotta get use to it..
Widgets work fine. Try a reboot or a battery pull.
Works fine here, using LauncherPro Plus.
I chose to clear the dalvik cache before rebooting, after applying the update. Perhaps that helped me?

Haven't used ADW in a long time but isn't there an option to lock your screens? Which in turn wouldn't allow you to modify anything.
Press menu and check that out.
no problem here. all widgets work fine and i didnt have to mess with them at all.

Rebooted and long pressed. I did have it lose them a couple more times though. It's fine now... I think.

This. From the home screen you can also press:

To add a widget.

The few widgets I use are working the same. Only problem I ran into was having to reinstall Swype.
Running on stock android.
Not sure how it got locked, but the unlock feature did the trick.

Did it remove any of the pixelation from the status bar icons,etc?
you can't change a physical thing with software. I have noticed no difference with the screen. Status bar still looks the same, everything looks the same.
the only thing they could have changed is the utility to set backgrounds, but i haven't changed mine so i have no idea.
a question, when we update the atrix for this version, we will lose all installed app?
No, when it is pushed OTA to all Atrix 4G's it will keep all apps and probably most, if not all, of your settings.

its 8:43 CT here and still no update yet. Wonder what time they are pushing it out?
since the update, mine irons shirts now (although its still making a mess of the collar).
I noticed pictures on my phone look much nicer now. Before looking at pictures I had taken and transfered to the phone looked washed out like the white balance was really off. Looking at the same picture on my phone and an Iphone the Iphone displayed the picture way more clear and crisp. Since I did the update that has changed. The pictures look the way they are supposed to now. I'm sure what they did was change display settings to correct the problem.
I think motorola don't will put update to all users for now =/
Galaxy SIII is a fantastic phone, but I seem to be constantly let down by touchwiz stuff. My idea for this thread is a big, long list of annoyances and suggestions for fixing them.
For example, an annoyance: TW doesn't support sorting the app drawer by name, you have to manually sort things and that goes slow. You would have thought they'd have a better way to manage the app drawer by now, but alas, no.
Solution: AppZorter Lite is a free solution that will sort your app drawer for you. Bonus: I like a nice empty app list, so I've gotten it hidden (one thing TW does do) and just launch it from the store when I need to.
Two that I haven't solved:
1) Facebook has filled my contact list with a huge number of people I don't care about, seems to have ignored the "only sync with existing contacts". Removing facebook users is a process: hold on the user, press delete, confirm that it isn't actually deleting.
2) The default MMS app seems to send (or displays?) all picture messages as slideshows. Super lame. Is there any way to turn this out without installing a 3rd party app?
App drawer, menu, view type, alphabetical grid or list.

much easier than my solution. skipped right over that option.

Trying out Pansi SMS as my sms solution, though it's a bummer that it doesn't interact with the lock screen like the native one.

The app drawer thing is why I didn't use the TW launcher on the Epic. At least now I can install Apex or Nova in the system/app folder.
Network errors, Sprints fault, not the phone.
Oh, I asked that S-Voice b*tch where she was from and she didn't understand. Guess that's what I get for hitting on my phone. :crying:

TouchWiz in general is just a piece of ****. Still running the Epic here and I cursed my phone every day until I put launcher pro on it and it was manageable. Didn't actually like my phone until I rooted and got CM9. My wife is getting the S3 upgrade but CM9 will go on as soon as it is available. She knows how ****ty TW is.

Pissed that BB had no accessories when i picked up the phone and i now have 2 micro scratches on the screen from screen sliding along a piece of paper on my desk at work.
I hate the purple/baby blue rim around the phone.
Waiting for a black TPU bumper and black metal battery cover replacement from china to resolve these issues.
Outside of that- much more impressed with the form factor than that of the EVO LTE which i traded for it. The S3 is very comfortable in hand.
Phone is way too slippery!
BTW- Touchwiz sucks! i installed Apex while waiting to check out at BestBuy.

Hi,
Looking into catalogues shown in the Gallery application I noticed a lot of black thumbnails which cannot be displayed when clicked on.
I cleared Gallery data via settings but it did not help.
It is possible to mark the black thumbnails and delete them but somehow it does not seem right.
Can somebody help?
Kind regards

mind that black frames appear even when you got ONLY video files inside folder that are not supported by the stock samsung player so the preview doesn't show up neither are going to be played!
