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?

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.

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.
Don't know if this is anything to do with the recent update of pac rom or possibly my phone getting fixed for a broken camera, but for what ever reason, when I try and use the smart remote app, I would press the up volume button on the remote, and it would work, but then it won't stop working. The volume would go up whenever my phone is pointed at the TV. Even if the app is for closed.
What could this be?

Do you use a specific remote app? Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the APK?
Does anything with the app function correctly? Do you have another device to test this to rule out possibilities.
I don't have another device to test out because only have this one with ir scanner, but I could test out another app. Any ones that you know of?
Also haven't tried reinstalling apk

I would try uninstalling to see if that makes a difference.
I don't use one often, only at a certain location: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.freeirtv&hl=en
I've had no problems with that yet, been using it for quite some time.
OK thank you

I am seeing the same problem with WatchOn app. If continuously pressed Volume up/down key in UI, it will go on (volume up or down) as long as it is pointing towards TV. I am CARBON-JB-NIGHTLY-20130929-0506 rom with 3.4.0-cyanogenmod-g5f9c80 kernel if it matters.
This is not a rom specific issue as when I was using other AROMA ALPHA rom I was seeing the same issue. When on stock rom it worked well without any issue.

I dunno, cause it worked fine at one point. And I wasn't stock. I have never been stock rom, cause if I root, I always install a rom
I am using a 2013 Nexus 7 wifi and am using GEL, about a week ago I rebooted the device and about half of my apps were missing from the home screen. I got them all set back up and tried another reboot and every time I reboot I lose my app on the bottom right side of the screen, I think it's a GEL issue because I used Nova and tried it and my apps were intact after a reboot, but I was wondering if anyone else using GEL has experienced this? I would like to keep using that launcher because I like it, maybe there is an updated version. One more question, whenever I attempt to enable ART runtime I get the dialog to confirm the switch to ART but when I confirm my device reboots but only a normal reboot, it doesn't do anything else, and I go back into developer options and it is still on dalvik. Has anyone experienced this issue as well? Any help is greatly appreciated.

So many questions so little information, please tell us your rom android version kernel and mods if any.
For launcher problem i never had any apps missing issue (ever) and about art ur rom might not have it. Again not enough information to go with.
Please ignore my spelling mistakes. English is not my native language.

Same issue with my Nexus 7 2013 WiFi. After restart, the app at the bottom right corner is removed from home screen. I'm on GEL as well.
You all should go to the forum for the 2013 Nexus 7, not the 2012.

If you switch between launchers you have a very strong chance of having your icons and widgets vanish - it's a different programme with different settings. Sometimes you may get lucky and somebody has set things up to import, but you may as well be hoping for a gmail account to have all of your messages from hotmail.
With regards to ART, you'll simply not have the option with stock. You may do with a custom ROM, but there are various things that will prevent the switch (particularly xposed,) and it's probably best not to use it yet anyway unless you have a particular love of reading log files and waiting twenty minutes after updating a nightly. Don't get me wrong, I actually do like going through a log, and only do updates while I brew my morning coffee, but it's probably not worth the occasional horrors for daily use yet.
Has anyone come-on with a reason or solution for this yet? Same thing happens to my Nexus 7 (2012) on both CM11 and AOKP 4.4.2 with GEL Launcher. Any app I put in the bottom right corner will disappear after reboot.

Hello ,
I am using stock rom with root .
I have inconsistency behavior with the "Recent Apps" function (long press on home button) :
Sometimes it show that no recent apps exist, and the list is empty, and after the second try it shows the full list of Recent Apps as expected....
if I try another time (after two seconds!) it show again that no Recent Apps... etc...
Another thing :
Sometimes after holding down the home button to get to the recent apps I'll get the vibration to know that it registered the touch but the recent apps won't open
Is it happens to you too ? Is it LG's bug ??
Thanks.
I'm on stock unrooted and I'm experiencing the same thing. Also, sometimes after holding down the home button to get to the recent apps I'll get the vibration to know that it registered the touch but the recent apps won't open. This is a huge factor in my decision to root and install a custom room soon. I want that recent apps button instead of having to long press the home button.

Exactly ! this happens to me too. I will add it to the main post.
P.S - I don't know if a custom rom will help with this as I didn't see any custom rom mention that.
I've had the same problem at least an year on sgs2, sg note, gnex, sgs3 and now on my g2, all have been running aosp, so I doubt a custom rom will help.
Edit: count in also my asus transformer prime. I also think this mainly happens when running heavier apps, like games.

I restarted the phone and the problem has been gone for the meanwhile.
No need a custom ROM, I'm using G2 exposed with my G2 and it work like a charm, not bug at all. U should try this.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I'm not sure about Exposed...
Does Exposed, in any circumstance, could influence OTA update ?
If I will remove Exposed + moduls, will the system return to the beginning state ? with the original APK's and their signatures ?
I'm asking that because G2 is about to get the OTA soon for 4.4 (Kitkat) and I don't want to miss it.
I haven't got recent bug but I have different. I keep apps in 6-7 folders. But when I restart device 2-3 apps in folders change order and folders (3G watchdog and booking). Does it only happen in my device?
Also an unrelated question. Is there any way to disable lockscreen help?
Not lg g2 user but just want to give you info, it is caused by android doing caching for recent apps. It was the same with my razr maxx before and i know it because i have tried to open the android framework too. On a second time then it will give you the actual recent apps.

As I remember it comes as a part of the kernel for those devices including LG G2, since there aren't any custom kernels out for these devices yet I highly doubt that's a possibility right now.
you can opt for proximity actions for locking and unlocking, although it would drain your battery a bit.
I'm using Wakeup Touch Nexus which is available in Google Play for free. Dint notice any battery drainage. Very nice app. If anyone got better app can suggest me too...

Pretty much every major OEM like Sony, HTC, LG and even Chinese manufacturers like OPPO , Xiaomi etc have implemented double tap to wake on their large screen phones and I really don't know what's stopping Samsung to implement in spite of so many Note generations .
Only way to properly implement this is using a custom kernel for the device
Tap Tap App @ Play Store
Tap Tap App works for me. Galaxy Note 4.
Requires configuration.
Lost functionality, how to get it back?

OK, I've got a VKWorld VK6050S (note the S). This will be a long story, but I feel I must post many details. Otherwise, there will be that smart-*** posting "but you can't do that!!!"
Had the phone for several weeks now. Took a LONG time to set it up and get it running EXACTLY the way I wanted it to. As part of that process, I installed Nova launcher, and an app called "DTSO". Anyway, when it was all set up.... I could double-tap the home screen to lock, and the display would go black. Then, *without using the proximity sensor*, I could double-tap the middle of the BLACK screen, which would cause the display to wake up and display the lock screen. I didn't set a lock on this screen, so I could just swipe up to clear it. Note I could double-tap the BLACK screen to wake it up.
So I was happy with the way everything was set up. Only problem was, it was not stable. Most of the time, if you tried to take a picture, the phone would freeze. (forever). Or sometimes a reboot would take HOURS (starting after the animated vkworld logo displayed) I tried several suggestions. It was not a bad memory card, and it was not corrupted files on a memory card. I tried clearing various caches, etc. Nothing worked. Finally, in desperation...I went to the factory boot menu (chinese, but I found a guide for it) and cleared hardware cache / emmc / whatever. That left me with *** CHINESE LOLLIPOP ***, and all my apps/settings/data were GONE...
(sigh)
So I had to start from figuring out how to switch back to English. And then starting all over again. I wasn't back to "zero". I went back to "minus one". (!!!!)
After many hours setting up the phone again with dozens of applications, getting my account settings input, getting it all configured...
The only thing I can NOT do now is to double-tap the black screen to wake it up. The phone is rock-solid STABLE now, so that is an improvement. But I want it to wake the screen with a double-tap, like it did before!!!
I'm now using "Go" launcher. But I (temporarily) tried "Nova" launcher, like I had it before. DTSO does not work like it used to. It won't wake up the screen while black. Again, this USED TO WORK, so it's not a hardware issue. What did I do wrong? What did I miss in setting this thing up again?
