When I add a new app using Google Play, the app icon appears off the screen as in the screenshot. I tried to adjust the settings but changing the grid size didn't work, and neither did anything else. Is there a way to fix this? It's a minor issue but sorta annoying.
Same issue
I have the same issue and posted about it earlier and no one has responded. I have tried every setting I can think of with no luck.

Anyone having a problem with the digital clock stock widget? My widget size is 3x1 and when installed, cuts off the day/date text. Is there a 4x1 size option? Seems like something has happened to my widget. I am latest version, stock, rooted. Anyone else having similar problem? It's very aggravating.

Mine did this last Sunday and has been the same ever since. I have rooted but am still running latest stock firmware

But I believe it's always been like that.
The Day text is cut off and shifted down a line so it shows:
Wednes
day
Rather than:
Wednesday
I don't use a clock on my screens though as there is one in the lower right corner.
EDIT
Ah looking back on some earlier Tab images used as promo's it is clear it should be the Day and Date in 1 line... Not sure what could be causing this. *scratches head*
I solved the problem by going into settings/applications/digital clock and uninstalling the updates. Seems like the latest update screwed my digital clock up. Once I did that, it works like it should and doesn't cut off anything...day/date on first text line, and city on second text line. And, the size of the widget is now 5x2. I knew something wasn't right with the size. That's why it was cutting off the day/date text.
woo hoo.
Mine did that when I tried to set the city name to nothing (blank).
Setting a name fixed it.
I see now that that doesn't work. Sorry for the misinformation.
Can't find any updates to remove to fix widget size.
Re jyams's fix, I've the same problem but can't find any way to uninstall any clock updates.
Is this because mine's not rooted?
The fact that the day is show followed by a comma tells me that the widget size is the problem.
More confused than ever
Just noticed that when the tablet comes out of standby, awaiting the padlock to be dragged, the original, properly displayed time widget is displayed. It has a different font but isn't truncated, it's as if I'm using the wrong widget on the homepage.
anyone find a fix? Mine was normal until I decided to rearrange my Widgets and deleted the stock one now I have this problem.
I had the same issue once, messed with it for like a day trying to get it to work...finally figured out that if I lock the rotation with the switch then reboot, it causes the clock widget to malfunction. Playing with the rotation lock switch, making sure to end up in the unlocked position, then rebooting fixed it for me. Don't know if it will work for you, but worth a shot.
I'm sure this has been asked somewhere before and I did attempt searching for it but couldn't find anything for this specific problem.
My problem is.. How do you add remotes to the Notification Bar and Lock Screen. I have three remotes set up in the application itself, but when I turn on the Lock screen and Notification Bar features, it keeps prompting me to "Add Remote", even after I use Add remote from there.
Anyone else having the same issue or know what I'm doing wrong? Just got this phone so I figured I'd ask.
Looks to be working fine for me.

I just noticed that mine only seems to put remotes from the prebuilt library up in the Lockscreen and Notifications. Any custom remotes seem to be ignored.
I have a bit a different problem with the Quick Remote.
I setup two TVs in the normal "remote" app from LG and they both are working just fine.
But when I use the Quick Remote from the Notification Panel, neither one is working.
Both remotes are there in Quick Remote and I can switch between them, but as said, neither one does work.
Weird.

I have exactly the same problem and cannot for the life of me solve it.
When I lower the notification bar and press the QuickRemote toggle, it wants me to create/add a remote, eventhough I have 3 of them created. It's the same when I tick the option to show QuickRemote in notification bar when connected to my home wifi, the same with the lockscreen widget.
A reboot doesn't help, clearing app's data doesn't help, manually re-adding the remote controls doesn't help. I'm fairly sure it worked fine before I reflashed with stock through the official LG app.

It looks as though Customized Remotes do not show up in the widgets (notification bar or lockscreen). Only remotes added through the TV,VCR,DVD,etc buttons do. Quite a shortsighted problem there..
Is anybody out there who is able to write a (xposed) mod to enable custom remotes for the notification and lockscreen widget?
After using the phone for a while a strange problem occurs. The widgets turn black but if you tap on them, they work. Just on home screen they look black.
If you enter to the Apps menu and try to edit any page (try to move an icon for ex) there is going to be a distortion at the background like color changing or instead of the background,
there will be a stretched icon of an application.
I have attached some screenshots for you to see.
Also a temporary solution to this problem that i found is to restart TouchWiz with an application i found on Play Store.
The name of the app is TouchWiz Killer.
Is there a permanent solution to this annoying problem that anyone has found?
I've looked around but couldn't find anything. I've noticed that when I change my DPI in the build.prop the Google Search bar is gone from the top of the recent app list. I've changed my DPI on every device I've owned, and this is the first time I've noticed this issue.
I've also noticed that once in a while it does appear, but I don't exactly know what's triggering it, and it will disappear the next time I go to the recents menu.
I'm most comfortable at 500 right now. I've tried 520, 480, and 420 (what the N5X is at). Everyone of them seems to have this issue. I really can't stand keeping it at 560.
I did something in the build prop relating to trying to activate multiwindow using "persist.sys.debug.multi_window=true*" but I don't have root. Ever since, my search bar in recents has disappeared.
NOTE: I've tried to reboot into safe mode but things always return back to being abnormal after. I need help or suggestions.
I fixed my problem just by force stopping Google now launcher
Same problem here with a nexus 5x. I've tried reboot to safe mode, clear cache, force stopping google now launcher but nothing happened. This problem is driving me crazy!
I haven't had a search bar in my recents since I got the phone (although I unlocked BL, flashed it to MDB08M and systemless rooted as soon as I got it), haven't found a solution. Any ideas?
Incompatible app
The search bar disappears due to an incompatible app, especially apps which creates widget's. In my case its yatse app causing the search bar to disappear. Identify the app uninstall and reboot.
Turn on Auto-rotate and load some apps in recent apps.Open recent apps.
Now switch to landscape mode and then back again to portrait mode.
Hello,
Since PIE update I have an annoying problem.
2 side bars similar to edge sidebar (when its closed) appears on my screen (see screenshots).
Theese two bars don't have any actions and can't be swiped., but make little vibrate on swipe.
The main problem is the right sidebar is too close of the send button (messages/whatsapp & messenger) and make half of it don't react (and send message on click).
Here is my observations :
- it's shown over all elements (desktop, app list, all applications)
- it's not visible on lock screen
- it don't show up in Android safe mode
I've dig for hours, and try several methods without success :
- reboot (look stupid, but must be said )
- disable the real Edge sidebar
- disable Samsung Pay
- remove autorisations for ALL apps to overlay on other apps (screenshot)
- change default keyboard (with swiftkey & Gboard)
I've turn my display to night theme to highlight these sidebar, but they're still there in day mode.
I'm now out of idea... the fact it don't show up in safe mode would orient me to app issue. But due to overlay settings no apps are supposed to being able to do this (except secure folders that can't be disabled)... I have many apps it would be painful to remove /reinstall them...
Did anyone already faces similar issue?
Any idea on how to fix it, or where to dig for?
Thanks a lot in advance for your feedbacks, any help will be highly appreciated

I have the very same problem. By using instragram, I have noticed that I cannot click the like button when the like button is near the white bar. So I am thinking that the white bar shows where the edge of the display is disabled to block "unwanted" touch. I also find it very annoying. Help?
Resolved. Before the Pie update, I have installed here from XDA a package of various apps ported from Pie I think. I had to uninstall the one called something like "one hand +". Once uninstalled, the two bars got removed.
Ohhhh Thanks for your fix !!!!
I've dig around Good lock features yesterday, but forget this one.
Problem solved!
