[Q] Delete icons (drag to garbage icon) crashes - Acer Iconia A500

Hi guys !
I'm new to android and tablet... so far, I love it.
I bought my Iconia tab a week ago, found a lot of info here, thank you all
I have a major issue right now.
After uninstalling an app (Kid Mode) the icons was still on my screen. I tried to drag it to the garbage icons and bam......
I have the Sorry message : "The application Launcher (process com.android.launcher) has stopped unexpexctedly. Please try again" + "Force close" button. I hit the "Force close" button and its in a loop
I'm force to reboot the tablet.
Now it does this with any icon i tried to drag to the garbage.
Any idea on how to solve this ?
Is there any other way then a Hard reset ?
If I do a hard reset, does the "android market" will know that all my apps are gone ? Will it be easy to re-add them ?
Thanks for any help !

Hey, never mind I decided to do a factory reset.
It's quite fast, just have to resync everything.
Thanks anyway !

task manager suddenly missing

dear board members,
suddenly my task manager is missing. is there anay hint to bring it back or ???
best wishes from bavaria

do you mean the top right icon in the today screen (home desktop)?
if so, did you install quick menu?
I also have the same issue. The entire top task bar disappears sometimes.. In order to bring it back, i have to click on the panel button and choose the same panel again. Its primarily happening on the default xperia panel.. must be some app which is causing the task bar to crash.. not sure how to troubleshoot it.. any help would be greatly appreciated!
What apps do u have installed on the x1 harmsing

Help please!!

I finally got my shiny new s2, turn it on and I get this
'Sorry! The application Status bar (process com.android.systemui) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again' With 'Force Close' under it.
It tries to load the status bar a couple of times then gives up so when my phone is going, there's no status bar at all. Please tell me this an easy fix as I really don't want to have to send it back...
Factory reset ( wipes all data so backup )

I'm able to force stop but it doesn't give me the option to clear data once I've done that. Tried rebooting without clearing data but it's still the same?

I KEEP losing my "clear all" recent apps (search bar too) - Is there a permanent fix?

I KEEP losing my "clear all" recent apps (search bar too) - Is there a permanent fix?
My clear-all recents [X] keeps disappearing.....It starts with the search bar disappearing in the recents screen, then shortly thereafter, the [X] disappears.
I know there's a temporary fix for this by booting into safe mode and re-starting (and I've done this each time)... But after 5 times in less than 4 weeks, this is getting old having to re-setup defaults, widgets, and Dropbox (a few other things too).
Does anybody know what is causing this or if there is a permanent fix I've overlooked?
I had faced this issue once.... The only way recovered is reset the phone.. i know its very annoying but i could not find any other way. May be you can speak with Oneplus customer support and see if they have any fix.
I'm also facing same issue but don't think so that there is any permanent fix for this. Maybe a future OTA update will fix it. Till the time you if you want the "clear all" button and If you are rooted than you can use Gravity box.
Same thing happened to me as well. I did something different.
Just stopped clearing app and let android do the lmk, as needed.
This just happened to me. After installing the latest update to the Google app and rebooting the phone, the search bar and clear all button in the recent apps panel were gone.
Incredibly how buggy OOS is ... I thought leaving Huawei was a good idea ...
UPDATE: Fixed it by rebooting into safe mode and then rebooting "normally" again, though I had to set up all my accounts again after that.

Help with uninstalling Apps

Hi guys
I have a new s8 and for some reason today I tired to uninstall an application but the phone won't let me long press on the application and it won't open the mini settings screen to uninstall the application. Anyone come across this issue? Not sure if I disabled something or not.
Mini setting window does not pop out.
Any suggestions? I did reboot the phone no dice. Would hate to have to factory reset it.
the same here
I have the same problem. Any sollution?
Thank you
Try this, it's the new TouchWiz update. Go to developer options, change your animation from none to. 5...unistall.. And put it back.

Apps not showing on home screen

Hey guys, I will try to find include as much info as I can. I have Google play loaded on the device. I tried to uninstall an app and the icon remained, trying to uninstall it again gives me a pop-up about the app files do not exsist. Ever since then if i install an app from either the play store or the Amazon app store they will not show up on the main screen. The apps are there and I can remove them via settings. I have tried a hard reset as well as reinstalling the initial app that caused the problem. When I do that the app icon works again but no new apps show up still. If I uninstall it again it does the same thing as the first time, the icon stays.
I was hoping there was something running in the background i can clear the data for or something to fix this. I do not know enough about it to tinker around with it. I have some stuff downloaded from Google play that i cannot backup. A factory reset will lose the data on those accounts so I am trying to avoid it.
If you have any suggestions I will gladly try them, thank you in advance for your help
Mine is doing the same today, I've uninstalled it but the icon remains on the screen. I've also tried others that I've installed from Google play, all behave the same.
Are new apps that you install showing up? I cannot get any new app to appear.
Settings, ,,, apps & games,,,,,manage all applications, ,,, Running ,,,, press the three dots on top of the screen to show cached processes. Open SHOW CACHED PROCESSES, ,,,,,select Home Pages icon,,,,, select STOP... GO TO HOME PAGE AND IT IS FIXED
Same issue happening on my Fire HD 10. No newly downloaded apps showing on home screen, and icons for uninstalled apps are grayed out. Tried clearing the home screen cache, but no luck.

This might be somewhat related. Please try the following trick to see if it helps:
(1). Settings --> Apps & Games --> Manage All Applications
(2). Swipe left in order to display "ALL" applications and then scroll down to select the application named "Home Pages"
(3). Tap "CLEAR CACHE" and then "FORCE STOP"

Clearing the data and cache for the home screens did finally work for me! I had to reorganize all my apps on the home screen, but not a big deal.
huge thanks for that.

Thanks! I had the same issue today, and I did the above steps twice for it to take hold. All fixed now! :good:

cant create folder shortcut
Sorry to wake this thread up, but I can't seem to create a shortcut to a folder on my sd card on the fire hd8 tablet for kids. I have downloaded many different file explorers, have used them to create a shortcut, they say the shortcut has been created and is on home screen, but the folder shortcut never shows up on the home screen. Any help please....
